[REQ][Q]App to encrypt messages & other stuff - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So!
I am searching for an app/a messenger, like whatsapp, that would encrypt your messages with AES 256bit encryption.
On the Iphone there was this brilliant app - wickr - they said it is coming also to android soon, but yeah... I was searching for an alternative till then)

(Q) people app, joining own entry to Google account?

Would like to know if I can join my own entry in the people app right at the very top of the list to add a picture and contact info from my google account. I find it a little untidy and annoying I can't seem to find an option to do this.

It would be nice to do indeed. Don't know how though. Still waiting for the phone to arrive.
It should just do it automatically. I didn't have to do anything for it to link mine up.

You can't. The app doesn't support it. The only contact sync that works is Google+ out of the box.
Okay thanks for the answer. Hope that they will change that soon

That's all up to Facebook. Hopefully they add it back in. The API is available for them to do so in a new version of the app. Google isn't restricting them or anything.
Friendcaster app can sync with the people app in ICS.. But the photo are not high definition!
Nexus devices have always had this feature excluded.

No they have not. I can sync just fine on my Nexus One. Also, it's not that the feature was excluded. Facebook used to have a backdoor API that allowed them to sync in Android that other developers couldn't use. Google removed it in the newer versions of Android. This means that for it to keep working, Facebook would have to update their app to use the public API for contact syncing (that's been there the whole time) and allow the user more control of their own info. They have not done so.
It's Facebook's app that's the problem here. It's nothing specific to the Nexus devices in general. You just notice it more in Nexus devices because they don't have manufacturer created Facebook apps (i.e. HTC's custom made FB app that syncs properly).

Messaging apk and custom roms

I know this might sound trivial but this is the only ROM I've seen with customized messaging app that includes pop up, my question is how come no one includes a way in the ROM or app to set individual contact notifications without downloading another app

First of all, I have no idea what rom your talking about. I'm assuming ANYTHING based on CM10 or AOKP code.
Second, stock android has never had custom notifications for individual contacts. And to do this someone would actually have to code it! Maybe they'll get around to it, maybe they won't. Maybe it never crossed their minds because they don't use such a thing, or maybe because there's apps for that! but for native support, it has to be something a dev actually wants to have.
Not trying to be a douche either, just informing :highfive:

I am also running CNA 3.6.0 but I do not know where the option to set custom notification tone for individual contact. Can you help me please?
Honestly no where, to achieve this you need to go to messaging settings turn off notifications, go to play store download sms popup and enable it and then find contact notifications.

MIUI also includes sms popups in the stock app
Yes but those pop UPS don't support individual notifications as far as I know

[Q] Is there an Android app that handles messages like a Blackberry?

Blackberry allows for a combined mailbox for push email (not just gmail), text messages, twitter notifications, facebook messages, etc. I cannot find a solid replacement for Android.
just wondering if theres any app or mod anyone knows that can do this?
Only separate apps available for each function:
Facebook for Facebook
Email app for email accounts
Messaging for SMS... etc

Also if you need group text messaging to BlackBerry and Apple devices, may I suggest Handcent SMS. You'll have to set it as your primary MMS application.

Developers are getting closer, but it's still not quite there yet. Try Streamlife in the play store. It's a work in progress, but a great app to follow for what you're looking for.

Honestly this is the ONLY good thing I can say about BlackBerry and I wish it was implemented that well in Android. From browsing through the settings, it looks like Go SMS Pro *may* have the capability. I'm kind of assuming they will make you sign up for all their services though...

I've been using Facebook Messenger for SMS for a while... then all of the sudden it's stopped working.. maybe cause I installed Paranoid Android, but are you guys having this issue?

Your favourite Twitter app and why?

I just got into using twitter for my music, what is your favourite twitter app and why?
I'm only using the stock Twitter application since there are so many and I'm not sure which is good.

I'm a big fan of Twicca
I haven't really used any Twitter app other than Twitter and falcon. I'm using falcon at the moment and I like how the widget works. Nice and simple with notifications on new tweets, refresh and do on.

I like using Tweetcaster. Suits my needs very well and has a lot of options. I'm super fond of the image filter. Hope that helps in your search.
Falcon pro and the falcon widget

Boid, holo themed, open source, improved my battery a bit when I switched to it and friendcaster (Facebook). Try them all!

I have the paid version of Plume, love the multiple columns and embedded pictures.

I go between Slices and the stock twitter.
falcon pro.
I'm using tweetings. Switched because the official twitter app doesn't have a tablet version for my nexus 7.

Plume here mainly because it had the nicest looking widget
Falcon Pro for Twitter. How fluid the app is, inline website viewing, and ease of access to lists and list management.
I previously used Boid and loved it until they stopped developing it, have they been releasing updates for it since it became open source? Other twitter apps I love are Echofon and Tweetlanes.
Falcon Pro. I rarely buy apps but I did for this. Definitely worth it

Definitely Falcon Pro

Another vote for Plume, although it sounds like I need to check out Falcon, I haven't heard of that one.
I like Plume because it has thumbnails of images in tweets - although some don't like that. As mentioned before the widgets are good also.
Used to be on plume used tweetings then found twidere which is the same same as tweetings but free, no ads.
Anyone got news of Carbon for twitter apps... Was supposed to come out in end August or beginning of October can't remember..

What he said. I use only Falcon Pro. It was worth the price in my opinion.
