Twitter for HTC sync in People app

If I set up HTC Twitter syncing I can link contacts to Twitter accounts. However there is no option in People's view settings to just show 'Twitter for HTC sync' accounts like it is for 'Facebook for HTC sync'.
I just would like to see latests updates for some contacts via the People application. Workaround would be to make empty contacts for every twitter contact and link them to, this way they'd show in people app, but that's hardly convenient.
Is it the same for you, or it's just me that got that broken? I find it hard to believe that HTC would leave such an inconsistency.

Never had any cooked ROM. And I don't exactly remember if it worked on 2.1, I think it didn't. I just didn't use Twitter back then that much.

when you go to people on the bottom of the screen there is a globe icon, click on that, on that page click on twitter, that will bring up all your twitter friends, click on the one that you want and then on the sync icon, that will show you all there tweets

Yeah, I know that. It's not that this is a problem in any way to get to those Twitts. I just found it inconsistent that you can't merge them in main people's tab as easily as facebook f.e. Just thought that it might be me that got something broken.
Thanks.

[Q] Getting rid of facebook icon on contact pictures

When using HTCSENSE for facebook, and linking contacts my contacts have their facebook picture with a little facebook icon in the corner. This annoys me almost as much as the poor quality of photos. I looked around but can't find anything about this. I browsed some of the directories trying to find the facebook image file so I could replace it but no luck. Anyone whos explored the deep abyss they call Sense care to help?

This is helpful.. but not what I meant.
That option is turned off for me already. What I am talking about is when you link a contact to their facebook profile. ( so that their picture gets changed etc) it shows the tiny blue facebook icon which is an annoyance. There must be a way we can find that image in the filesystem and replace it with a transparent image to get rid of it... I just can't locate it.

Ahh... I see what you mean. Don't know if that's possible to be removed as it's tied to facebook, but then again, anything is possible in these forums.

I know, I just stumbled upon these and some of the stuff here is nuts. Loving it though and I am keeping hope that someone will know the trick!

If you go in to people, click the person you want to change picture. Click the Link on the top right. Then you can click on the contact photo, and you have the option to change the photo. Hope this helps.

Get over it. It's tiny.
As far as the quality of the images, even if you upload your own, it'll be bad. That's just how it is.

Thanks, but I know this. The whole point is I want the pictures to sync with facebook but without that little F icon.
Lol @ get over it. What is the point in trying to flame me? I want my phone to be aesthetically pleasing as possible.. thats why I got rid of my bb.

Well syncing it with the actual facebook app doesnt leave the little corner mark, but syncing it without the HTC Sense facebook really sucks, looks like your in a dilemma. If you dont care about the extras you get from HTC Sense facebook you can try the normal one.

I didn't know I could sync with regular facebook. When I removed HTC sense for facebook before it took away any sync capability. Could you explain how you have this set up? I would prefer using the normal facebook app and not the sense one.

Tried this before and broke my stock ROM before I flashed myns. When I uninstalled HTCSense Facebook it stopped syncing contacts and despite having facebook reinstalled I still could not get those two. Are you sure this works? everything I have read is that I would need a third party app like syncmypix, which is why I asked if we can just dump that little facebook icon.

Can you explain how you got this working?
I installed Market Facebook. turned off HTC facebook. When I click the facebook icon in accounts nothing happens.
This happened before on my last rom.

Without HTC sense and just doing it through the facebook app. Your contact names will have to match their facebook extactly
Also the facebook does not update as frequently through

So I cant get the regular android to sync. I click it on the sync menu and nothing pops up. The first time it brought me to the login screen but hasnt done it since even if I remove. googling this and it seems to be a common issue unresolved... so it brings me back to my original question of finding this facebook image in the filesystem and changing it to a transparent png. Any dev whos taken apart sense have any ideas?

I actually would like to see if this is possible as well. Those icons have been annoying me ever since I got my Evo! (release!)

anyone feel like helping? been trying to dig this for a week and can't find any fix.

dirtyshroomz is a liar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this normal?? (Sharing pictures pop-up menu partially inaccessible)

Yes, I'm using CM7, but I recall this happening when I was on CM6. Whenever I want to share an image, I get a list of apps that's longer than the window, and I cannot scroll with the trackpad or my finger.

i don't know but if you have that many options to share a picture,i guess you just need to scroll the list with your fingers?

ok my bad..ima let an expert answer this one but remember cm7 is still in beta so expect bugs like this one.

no worries, thx for trying tho. it's not a huge problem, just something i noticed and is sorta annoying when there's an app i want to use that isn't accessible from that list...

Yeah I didn't see that the first time, sorry. I think it's a gallery bug, it has been since google released that 3D gallery. Mine doesn't truncate like that in portrait mode. Do you need that many sharing applications?

i don't need that many, they just show up there - if there was a way to limit it, i would be inclined to do so, i only need like 5 of them

Well I just see a bunch of extra stuff there, like k-9 mail and picasa and goggles and a bunch of other stuff. I guess that I just don't have that stuff installed, that's why my list is shorter. You can't remove those items from the list without uninstalling the app. Is there anything that's being cut off that you frequently use?

Yeah there's not much you can do about the list, maybe google will fix it, or cyanogen will patch it, who knows.

Best New Launcher to Check out!

So I have found a new launcher that has great potential. Kind of reminds me of Wisbar Desktop from my WM days as you can put items anywhere on the screen and they are not locked into a grid like every other launcher. Besides swiping your pages side to side, you can also scroll down on each page like WP7.
Has lots customizations and the developer is extremely responses. Received a email back from him within 15 minutes after contacting him. Still has some bugs and he is aware of them and is constantly working on it.
I am running my screen at 720p and I totally recommend that as you can get lots on your screen!
It is free as well!
SSLauncher:
https://market.android.com/details?...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zcy5sYXVuY2hlciJd
Here is a screen shot for ya...

I have been using this for a few days now and have to agree...coolest launcher I have used so far. This is as cool and "revolutionary" as when ADW and Launcher Pro came out for the first time.

From the market page:

I would need an explanation of why it needs permissions to make phone calls without my intervention before I can install it. I might be paranoid here, but that whole "without my intervention" bugs me.

I'll try this out but how do you get the magazine look for the page turn

Its smooth but I don't like how icons are not applied on a grid. Everything is free-standing and I can't get anything to align. Its really bothering me.

because its a launcher/app. If you were to set a contacts icon on the screen for direct dial or something like that, you would not be able to make a call because you didn't want that permission.
I'm pretty sure every launcher needs that permission.

I can't believe I didn't think of that. I don't add contact shortcuts, but it does make sense. I think I'll go download it now.

Haven't had a single crash yet.
I'm a complete ADWEX honk, always have been, but I must say that I really, really, like this launcher. The page-turning anims are simple but sick, IMHO, and it's such a lightweight launcher in general, I think I'm gonna keep this one for a while....
Very nice.

The developer is aware of the issues and is currently working on fixing them. I run into problems editing pages after I add a lot of items on the homepage.
Totally agree this can be the best launcher to date with as little more work.
If you haven't tried yet, drag items to the bottom of the screen as fat as can go and you will see you can then scroll the page down. There are probably so many cool things to do in the launcher. If anyone figures some tricks out, post it up!

has anyone figured out how to get a calendar widget to work?
Android agenda widget or any other full screen calendar widget doesn't want to work
so far, that's the only issue I have..really cool stuff!

Simple Calendar widget works fine. Just do not choose the scroll option in the widget. Any widget that scrolls will not work.

thanks man, it was the "scrolling" option that was messing me up...
EDIT:
I have to say, once a couple small things work out, like sculling widgets, this launcher is going to be super hot...
Never saw anything so customizable as this launcher is..

Another cool trick I just noticed for lining up apps and widgets on the screen...
Hold down whatever you want to move. Then let your finger off of it to bring up the little menu that says edit, etc. Then either click the back button or touch somewhere else on the screen and it will leave your item highlighted. In cse you didn't know, at this point you can re-size your widget but if you move the whole widget around you will see red lines show up when it is lined up with other items near it making it simple to know where you are placing it.
It is kind of hard to explain but try and and you will understand what I am talking about....

Its pretty cool and has A LOT of potential.

pretty cool but could've been better

Phone Tab

Hey guys,
Click the phone icon on the dock, and whilst on the phone tab....
Is yours full of google & facebook contacts that you don't want,
I also have multiple contacts for the same people,
How can I clear all these people, & show just my sim contacts.
I've managed to show just my sim contacts in the 'people' tab, but the 'phone' tab is really bothering me, I don't want all these people on my phone - nor do I want multiple contacts for the same person.
Any clues how I can fix this?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

Mine was showing my Google+ contacts, so I went to the Peoples App and clicked on "Phonebook" in the top left and un-ticked the ones I didnt want to see.

You can link contacts. Can't quite remember how to do it manually but I'm surprised Sense hasn't already picked up that they are duplicates as it would normally automatically suggest that you link them
