Change default twitter app

Hi - does anyone know of a way to change the default twitter app in the friendfeed from Peep to Touiteur (Which IMO is a FAR better twitter app)?? I only got my handset today and it's my first android device - so slowly getting to grips with it!
CHeers,
Badger

SWIFT is one of best twitter clients on android

No, sorry, i don't, but in terms of better twitter apps, have you looked at SWIFT ? It's been the new rising star in twitter clients on android.
On a second note: Since I have not yet received my Desire, could you pleas post either screenshots or a list of settings/preferences that DO show for Friendfeed? I ask specifically about setting intervals for refreshing the stream. Does it provide separate refresh rates for each of the feeds, or just one main one, or none at all?
I ask because this is predictably going to be the biggest battery drainer on the Desire, so I am just getting a leg up before getting my device :;

Sorry - i spoke too son and not even checked out:
http://levelupstudio.com/touiteur
looks like a great twitter client -- and what i just found out is it supports the "twitlonger" API, which makes it, to me all the more useful.
http://www.twitlonger.com/apps
Why twitlonger?

Ok, my wife is the one with the Desire, but from using latest version on my Hero.
Just go to Settings> Accounts & Sync
Click on Twitter, then simply click on 'Remove Account'
That will remove all twitter from FriendFeed.
Then simply use whatever other app you want, either by clicking on the app icon to start it, or by installing the app's widget if it has one.

Thanks for this, but I would like to continue using the friend feed, just not use peep as the default app when opening a post from the friend feed.
@quicksite - No settings I can see for refreshing at all...Battery life was pretty poor yesterday, but i did play non stop with my new toy for like 8 hours

Froyo Update Changes Thread - Pros and Cons

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A THREAD TO POST ISSUES WITH THE UPDATE PROCESS, ONLY ISSUES AFTER UPDATING THAT HAVE BEEN CAUSED/FIXED BY THE NEW VERSION.
In an effort to consolidate all the information into one thread, hopefully everyone can just post their own experience with the new Stock Froyo build here after having updated through Kies.
List issues you're experiencing, as well as issues that may have been fixed with this update from the previous version.
Hopefully this will cut back on thread spam and help people decide whether or not they want to try out the stock Froyo 2.2 update!
I'll start it off and say that so far I've heard that the Gallery is working great, but Avatar seems to be having DRM issues. GPS seems to be something where YMMV, some say it's great, some say it's worse.
What have you noticed?

So far all good things.
CONS: missing stock android keyboard, paid apps missing in Market until ROM is recognized.
I installed the GB KB and am good to go as far as that is concerned.

GPS in UVKA 7 still wayyy off for me, definitely a hardware issue.
I have not done any tweaks or change in settings, like a I said wayy off..

Pros (to me at least):
I noticed that the screen auto-rotation is now controllable via the notification/switch pulldown on the home screen.
I don't recall this from before, so please gently correct me if I'm wrong. While entering text, if you hold down on the entry window a blue pointer appears that you can use to place the cursor in the text easier.
Gmail improvements:
- You can reply/forward messages from the top of the email instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom.
- You can scroll from from email to email by using arrows at the bottom of the window, instead of having to go back into inbox/outbox/etc and selecting the next email

CON: I can't get any data.
Any help?

With regards to the Calendar app, can anyone confirm whether or not you can now actually change the default calendar from My Calendar to Google? Or do you still have to change each new entry to Google when you go to add an entry into the Calendar? That was such a dumb move.... a step backwards from Android via Touch Wiz, heh.

Pros: higher Quadrant score than 2.1
Better UI
Mobile AP
Flash
Camera seems to be better in the dark now
Better battery life
Faster
Cons: No apps in the Market's Download section
Old market
Avatar is not accessible

You are able to set other calendars as the default calendar. I just created a new event and no longer does it default to the lame TouchWiz calendar.

How's the gallery perform? Does it freeze like it did after that small update T-Mobile sent out months ago?

The issue with the gallery lock was always random for me. So far I have had no issues moving in and out of the gallery.

Avatar doesnt launch because the mouny point for the external sd has changes. The drm issue im unsure how to remedy.
Lag is still the same.
Still cant set default home screen.
Changed calendar notifications to white background.
Skype anf yahoo apps should work now.
C2DM works for apps like Trillian (saves a lot of battery)
Will check if the exchange client still rapes battery tomorrow.
Oh, and wifi calling/sms for those of us in very low reception areas.
Data speeds seem incredible. Wifi reception inproved...
Improved txt selection copy and paste. Darker notification bar.

Major problem, the haptic feedback is really really really weak. This happened b4 when i flashed a leaked 2.2 rom and the official one does the same thing -.-, the vibration intensity is at max when ur in the settings and set it to max u get a strong vibration, however when u press any of the 4 bottom buttons and dialer u get really weak vibration, feels like its at the lowest setting. This really annoys me. Does neone know how to fix this or if a rom currently out has alrdy fixed it?

I have had horrible gallery issues, every time I opened it it would freeze. It's great now, but why the hell did they go back to old pics on the top? I want my recent pics on the top.
My gps did not work, but I turned it off, reset it w the gps restore app and now it locks in maps at 30 meters to start instead of 1400 meters. (so, much improved)
Avatar does not work for me, but I updated my co worker's phone, and hers works. wth
I can't look at my display settings, it forces close, I think because I had a bunch of flipfonts installed. I uninstalled them all and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
ETA: Haptic feedback feels fine to me

I feel the phone is a bit lag too
I want to flash back to JFD and try it from zero again.
BTW I cant root with z4root, how can I root now?

KA6 was the version released through Samsung Kies

Flashed KA7 (screw KA6..). Took awhile to boot up but made it
Gallery seems to be okay, haven't deleted any pics yet. Phone seems as snappy as it did with KA5. Data speed seems the same as well. GPS actually performs better, if not the same as KA5. Just a minute or two to lock on and failry acurate within 30FT (on my way home I was able to lock onto 6-10 sats in a few seconds). Installed GB Keyboard, no issues there. Market udpated itself, apps show up and works just fine.
All in all, works just as good as KA5 did, with maybe some minor improvments.
PS. why is the haptic feedback such a huge issue? OMG MY BUTTONS DON'T VIBRATE WHEN TOUCHED!!

Noticed changes in DL30

I don’t see a thread like this so I would like to start one
I have noticed a ton of changes in the stock DL30 build and there are still some i probably haven’t ran into yet. I think it would be fun to see what changes people have noticed. . I know a lot of these are in the original leak thread but that thread is too saturated with questions and issues people are having.
I would kind of like to keep it clean so I would like to see lists of changes only and not a ton of questions.
I will start off with a few things I have noticed so far. I have left out some of the obvious things that comes with froyo but feel free to add them if you wish
-Facebook syncs contacts automatically. No need to get friends and then check the ones you want from Facebook
-You can now manually join contacts. Maybe you could do this before?
-You can now use custom ringtones for contacts that aren’t local on the phone
-You can use media files for ringtones
-Can now use multiple exchange accounts
-Can now use out of office for exchange accounts
-Can use pin unlock even though it doesn’t work because it says you need a symbol
-New theme which I actually like.
-Has new e-mail and text counts on the Touch wiz icons
-Can use media or voice tones for alarm
-The sliding thingy when you are typing, makes it much easier to correct spelling mistakes
-Can change fonts
-Media hub added
-Includes Samsung keyboard which I prefer over the others now
-Dock now works!

Only thing I don't like is that you have to enable background data in order to do anything related to data. Never had to do that before.

Anyone got yahoo email setup on the new DL30? I tried to read email (HTML based) from like amazon and other spam I usually get and now it say message too long, cant not display.
Anyone getting that too?

Font changer
No google maps originally

Pinch to view home screens.
Email count on the home screen is awesome....
jv

Few things I noticed so far:
For exchange accounts it lets you choose seperate peak and off peak sync times which is cool.
The notifications has an auto-rotation on/off button along with your wifi, bt etc. But it doesn't really work with your homescreens unless you install laungher pro or something.
Signal strength has definitely increased.
Also, after I got DL30, I was asked to update camera firmware, and that added a couple of minor changes to camera.

Also forgot to mention that while in Car or Desk cradle the home screen now is landscape. Also when you get calls when on either the call screen is landscape!!! can you say "Awesome"!!!!
jv

And I am sure everyone is dying to know this, they replaced blockbuster with media hub.

Couple of things, keep in mind I was rooted running a custom ROM previously and now have LP running:
1. I like the changes to gmail (I was used to 2.2 gmail from my droid, took me a sec to figure where the send button moved to)
2. For whatever reason, after flashing and restoring apps with Titanium, I was debinged, however, that applies to voice search and all functions of the car dock aside from basic search. Hence, none of those functions work (voice search, navigation, maps. Not a deal breaker..just an observation.
3. The battery icon seems likes it's not even tied to the actual charge amount. Again..no big deal, I use simi clock and I check my battery there.
4. Gallery renders FAST..
5. Market still on old version...hasn't updated yet.
Haven't had a chance to really check any flash websites but will get around to it.

Issue with back button from contacts
Has anyone else had the back button stop working when in contacts?
It worked fine when I first got done with the update, then sometime after sync of facebook it stopped working. Not sure if that was the cause but something made it stop.

Be sure to open up the camera app. New firmware there.

I also noticed some of the bloat apps I had to remove when I first got my phone are gone. CityID immediately comes to mind (which I thought was the worst thing ever!), but I also noticed the Kindle app is missing and someone already mentioned Blockbuster. I thought they were more, but my memory is escaping me now.
The stock music player is also different, but this is my first Android device and thus first experience with 2.2, so this might just be a froyo thing. When I'm playing music and turn the screen off, when I turn it back on to the lock screen, there's a piece of CD hanging from the top of the screen. This can be pulled down to control the music. I never noticed this before, but I also may have never used the music player with the puzzle lock screen. Anyway, it's a cool feature that I dig. If I change to the AOSP lock screen (which I like way more than the puzzle lock), will this feature still be present?

I found a workaround for the Exchange pin issue.
If you setup a PIN before you setup your Exchange account from settings-> location & security-> screen unlock, it will work. You'll still see the message about device security needing to be setup at first but it will start syncing and not ask again.
Hope this helps!

Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
This was the main thing that bugged me on this rom and i was able to get around it. If you have the security policies already pushed you can go into Device administrator and remove the one for your exchange account, then go change your PIN, after a while your e-mail account will tell you that you need to enable the security policy again.
Thanks again!

Glad this worked for you. As an Exchange Administrator and user, this is one of the best features of Froyo!!! No more full keyboard to enter PIN.

How can you tell if its the new market? What changed? Also, tried some web sites for flash but doesnt want to play. I'll have to try with a different browser.

Yup, CityID, Blockbuster, Kindle, the demos for Need for Speed and Tetris and a few others.
I'm wondering if this was an early version of 2.2, before they had a chance to add all that crap in. Would be nice if Verizon listened to their customers and actually choose to leave that stuff out in 2.2.

you have to go to the market and download adobe flash player 10.1
i have noticed SIGNIFICANT battery/signal strength increase.. I was barely able to get 16 hours out of my battery before and now mines been on for 14 hours and its still at 60 percent.. my time without a signal was at like 30% on DL09 or DJ05 and now its at 4% without a signal. much more memory available.. could be because im using super clean tho..

Suggested items for Motorola to fix in a ROM update

I thought it would be useful to have one constructive list of software bugs / issues / improvements. My list is short:
Exhange email notifications don't always work
Exchange email contact pictures don't appear
Ability to choose background and text colors in email
Ability to increase font sizes significantly (its all too small)
User ability to modify RGB color saturation etc

Not to knock you here... but if you have any bugs you really should submit them to... um, Motorolla. XDA isn't their bug tracking system.

1. The background data toggle in the power widget does not work. You have to go to Settings > Data Manager > Data Delivery to toggle background data.
2. Fingerprint swiping is too slow to get out of the lockscreen.
3. FLAC support.
4. Enable zoom in and zoom out icon in the browser.

Fix the audio drivers. No voip apps work with how they built this device.

turn off the button illumination when in desktop dock clock modus

Ability to turn off the haptic feedback on the home buttons!

- Fix the BT Stack so that it pairs correctly with lots of in-car BT systems.

I'm glad we have another "Let's ***** about the Atrix" thread. Can't we keep posts to being constructive? Just like mister_al said, send a bug report to Motorola, you're wasting time posting anything here.

I don't see any *****ing here except you about this thread. Look at other phones on XDA they all have a thread about bugs....let's collect all the bugs that we found for a while and then we can send them to Motorola.

As soon as i get the phone shipped here, i will submit directly to motorola. For now, for what i have seen, the biggest issue for me is the purple camera.

nothing too major right now for me except the music player cutting the track and playing another song then going back to the original song later.

- unlock boot loader
- add package installer for webtop

For god's sake enable HDMI mirroring.
Also, Air attack HD LITE doesn't work. You have to start it, quit to home, then launch it again... wierd?
Also, RGB saturation... If the nexus s updates can fix screen colors displaying wrong, so can the atrix's.

[INFO] TRANSFORMER - Wish List

So I dont know how many of you have the tablet yet, and have played with it, but here is my short wish list of things that I am SURE will be added in revisions to come.
1. Clear all notifications button - If someone knows how to do this, just let me know.
2. Gmail Instant HTML email rendering - Instantly show email images - NOT make me press - Show Images (is this like patented by Apple or something, why havent the done this on the mobile side either)
3. Gmail Autofit Reading pane - Auto fit the email to the right pane, in addition to number 2.
4. Task manager - They missed this first on the mobile, then they added it back in, now on the tablet - i dont see a rudimentary task manager. Regardless of whether it affects the functionality or not.
Anyone else have opinions or additions
R.

-USB on the tablet would have been nice
-multiple exchange email account support (activesync)
More when I get mine in this week.

I'd like to be able to move the notifications and menu buttons to the top of the screen instead of always at the bottom. This is probably a honeycomb thing. That's because I keep hitting them by accident while trying to type. If anyone knows how to do that let us know.

I use Touchdown for Tablets (works nicely, but I dont know if you can do more than one account. You can do a corporate account (Exchange Activesync) with the built email client as well. Is that what you are looking for? or just multiple support. (Remember there is always IMAP as well)

setting-applications you can manage tasks (shut them down, see what is running, etc) I believe. I only had my tab for a couple of hours before asus bricked it, but i'm pretty sure this is there.

Well, I have HTC EVO right now and it doesn't allow multiple exchange (activesync) accounts, you can do pop3 though.
I am not sure if honeycomb allows that or not, gingerbread certainly does not.

Lil help? Still tetherless here...

IIRC the TF needs an infrastructure Wi-Fi connection, not ad-hoc.
Most tethers are ad-hoc.
Just guessing from what I've read elsewhere, and experiences I've had tethering other devices.
