Best WM Twitter client for HD: PockeTwit?

I need to present a Winmobile Twitter client, and have stumbled over PockeTwit http://code.google.com/p/pocketwit/.
But how does one control it on the HD? There is no menu on the twits screen. FYI I read that with 5-minute updates set it generates around 5MB of mobile traffic per day.
Recommendations for any other client?
Update: Ah, I got it - the twits list needs to be finger dragged to left or right, and reveals the menu items. Of course, its a touch device
WindowsMobileCool has a nice Top 5 client review: http://bit.ly/IaFJ (thanks Techno-Freak)

twitter
Hello. I searched for a good twitter client for a while now but not found a client that runs smoothly. pocketwit works best of them I found, but im not satisfied with it. Is there anyone who found something better?

I used to use Pockettwit - loved the interface, found it a joy to use - but bloated
I use cetwit
Code:

Works well on the HD, set the dpi to 67 under themes/notifications and activate avatars!

I use cetwit to. but its not so fingerfriendly....

having issues with Cetwit - have moved along to 'tiny twitter'

pocketwit seems like the best twitter of all on windows mobile right now. i tried tinytwitter but it doesn't update properly

Pockettwit is great. A flip to the left and you have lots of menu, a flip to the right, even more options. Great for twittering, and the bugs are being worked out as we speak.

New addition, now in Beta (free during beta):

using twikini also, seems solid and finger friendly

tried twickini - not impressed - even in small font the text for each twitter goes off screen so you have to choose that specific twitter to read the full text.
Also, fastest update setting is every 5mins, which doesnt feel anything like quick enough.
on the plus side, it loads quickly and doesnt appear to use much memory. i'll be sticking with pockettwit though.

List keeps growing, here's a nice home plugin for WM: TwitToday - twit directly from your home screen or Secondtoday (if you use no other GUI).
http://dalelane.co.uk/page.php?id=1047

+1 to Twikini. Just does what it says in the tin ! Perfect for me

and another for twikini. written in c it seems much more responsive and an update is out in the next couple of days.

Wow. Listen. I have bought a brand new HTC Touch HD, which I'm starting to like.... But 2 major problems:
1) ActiveSync suddenly wasn't working anymore.
2) I couldn't open my attachments when receiving e-mails.
3) Twikini wasn't updating properly anmore.
Alright, point 3 is an easy fix:
After uninstalling Twikini, point 1 and 2 are both resolved!
How sick is that? Wow. Hate Twikini from now on (it was the latest version). Alright, i know what Beta means, but hey, don't mess with my other applications!

Did you try a hard reset before start using the device?
Twikini runs well on my numerous times flashed TouchHD and Treo Pro.
Giving feedback to developer would give better results rather than just hate an application while the problem lays probably somewhere else

pocket twit
i go with pocketwit as twikini doesn't have a search feature. Also you have to pay for twikini yes i know its dirt cheap, but they aint having my cc details.
However since flashing the latest energy 6.5 rom pocke twit will not work. Anybody know any solutions?

Twikini as well for me.

PocketTwit is ok but a bit heavy in terms of footprint. TinyTwitter is good but it doesn't close the process when the app is closed which is painful. Bit annoying..twikini is my shout!

Twikini....
Hi guys,
Ive been using Twikini for a while now, and have tried others.
I highly recomend this app, and is very easy to use.

NovoTalk - a free Google Chat client

Hi,
I have written an application for QVGA devices (240x320). I felt the lack of a genuine google chat application that was free of charge.
History
v0.1 Beta
Text messages
Avatars
Finger Touch/Scroll Friend List
Marquee for long status messages
New email notification
Tab based Chatting
Notification on new Message (sound + vibrate)
Detect Invisible Users
Friend list sorted just like Windows client (Gtalk) on basis of availabilty and name.
Cool GUI
Notes
NovoTalk is written in C#, so .Net CF 3.5 will be required.
Might not work properly on smartphones.
Tested by me on WM 5,6,6.1 and on HTC Touch with WM 6.5

As of now, I am giving out the cab installer to a selected few beta testers. Once the initial testing is done, I will attach the RC cab file here. There are plans that this application might be open-sourced at a later stage.
Please help me in testing this application.
If you are interested to be a beta tester, please add your request here :

nimbuzz
not bad but what better than nimbuzz or talkonaut?

Nimbuzz requires registration to its own service( which I refer to as third party registration). Talkaunaut is good, but again it adds gtalk2voip bot to your contacts without approval and call features does not work many times. IMHO these according to me are the only good free options, but not clean as the Gtalk Windows client.

a free client is always welcome. any chance it will support other chat platforms ?

Oh yes, the future versions will definitely support other platforms. But my first target is to make it compatible with smartphones.

I am in for beta testing.

It looks good, I going to testing

damn man! you should make yahoo messenger like this...cool app..thanks...

jockeylol & AxlR,
Please PM me your contact info, so that I can send you the .cab file.
chelsea_fc
Thanks! I just want this encouragement to make this application better and more stable. Yahoo Messenger! You read my mind, actually I will be working on it when NovoTalk has a stable version released.
I have sent you .cab file for test purposes.
PS : A call to designers to give some ideas, as I am planning to introduce themes in NovoTalk.

This looks so sweet! Will it also support WVGA in the future?

@jockeylol
I have sent the .cab file to you
yeah, the next release will have support for all resolution, and hopefully for landscape modes too.

nice! Brazil and India will be happy with a Orkut compatible app
we rulz there!

@boto
That's a nice idea. If you meant to say orkut scrap notifications should be done, I tried looking up for that feature, but google has no documentation on it as of now(or at least I could not find one).I don't promise this feature, but I will try to include it in the next release
Thanks for the suggestion!

Wow this looks like a great app, I'm in for beta testing if needed.

@trinest
Yup, you are in [Check your mailbox]
EDIT : It seems Hotmail and other accounts on Live services reject mails from my domain, not sure why though. Do you have alternate contact e-mail?

Looks like a really nice app. I would love to see WVGA support in the future.

@trinest
Sent to your alternate e-mail
@xenokira
Thanks! Yeah that's definitely going to be supported. The feature requests that I have received will require me to code the framework from scratch.So, I expect a much better GUI and faster application.
I think that there is a little less interest in my application at XDA? Please prove me wrong and designers may help me

i would appreciate feedback and feature-requests.

Your last picture posted here has a grammatical error - 'has been', not 'has be'.
Tried this app. Very smooth.. in fact, a bit too sensitive.. When i scrolled, I keep opened links accidentally.
A ligther background or something more 'relax' would be nice I think. This is a bit too 'dark' to my liking.

hey bro, i tried looking hard, couldnt find the gramatical error.... i might be going blind
as for the over sensitivity, rest assured i would be passing the feedback to obelix, the creator of the slider control; which is used in this app. I have to give him credit for making this awesome control that cuts the development by almost half when designing the UI portion
Would take that as a feature request and put it into my tast list for the next few releases
once again thanks for not only using the app, but providing feedback for it too. There is no point in people just using app without telling us, the developers, what they really want to see. Its after all you the users who end up using it on a daily basis. So thank you!
on a side note, got a nice email from microsoft this morning

Hi
Just wonder - would you consider making this reads the other Singapore e-news intead of just ST? While it's nice to have one app for one news site, I really don't like the idea of filling my screen with few icons for different newspaper.
Just a thought. Of cos', it would have to be a different names then. Ha..
But this programme so far running very smoothly and scrolling is good too. Well done!

hmm, it would increase the complexity of the app, introducing the possibilities of having more bugs. I would avoid that.
moreover i have done up the CNA app as well as the backend of Today app as well... just a matter of time before they become general release items as well
http://www.mobinauts.com/topic/110817-local-app-channel-news-asia/

It seems very cool...but I would like to have this for other newspaper...

the straits time with Windows Phone 7 theme. Nice touch
Definitely gonna try this out. Great development.

looks great! will try it out now

sw33t
This is great, though wishing there are others like CNA or Newpaper
Also I'm getting this error on my HD2 once in a while after I quit or while using the app (can't take a screenshot for some odd reason)...but other than that, it's working fine. And I notice a 2 second lag when I scroll it way way up or down (till the icons are gone) before they appear again but meh, I could still live with it
Code:
STmobile.exe
ObjectDisposedException
at
System.Windows.Forms.Control.InvokeHelper(Delegate method, Boolean fSynchronous, Object[] rgobjArgs)
at
STmobile.settingsFile.updateSyncState()

thanks for the bug report. i will fix this before the next release.
as for the CNA app, already done it. a few selected users are now testing it... would be available soon: http://www.mobinauts.com/topic/110817-local-app-channel-news-asia
here is another app i did initially: 4D and Toto http://spoolsmobile.appslah.com/
initally planned to do TNP as well, but i soon found out that TNP is slightly harder and they lack online content.

are there any alternatives for things like Australian or UK news? it looks amazing!

For ptoblems, you can comment here
You can read thge help by clicking "?" in the program

Sorry for the double post, but I saw that there were about 400 visits and had no feedback yet.
I need feedback to improve this program and to determine if it works or if I should keep off this project.
Thanks a lot for downloads and possible feedback.

I have tried this and many of my apps are not loading. Reader, Mail, Video, Music, etc.
Music gives me an error that states: "No apps are installed to open this link (zunemusic)"
Mail gives me a full blown Error Message that states "ERROR in action number 1 of Mouse Event for Left Released for object 46: cannot execute {randomnumbers}:" and gives me an abort, ignore, copy and clear buttons.
This is a pretty cool app if you can get it to work.

It function correctly only for Windows 8 RP and not for RTM for now. An update is on my list

Damn, well alright.

Kindly post update for RTM ...this can really become an awesome app ... since neither RTM allows one to create shortcuts ...

Now I'm working on a minor update that change name (ModernApp link) and o.s. support (only RTM).
However, I'm near to find a solution for creating lnk files for all apps installed.
I'm working on

I'm developing a new version now, but it may request a registry edit (such as first version), but I maybe will able to start all installed apps or a big part.
Because the school, I don't have a lot of time to develop

The app is great, and the paths it uses are teriffic, I can finally use the hotkeys on my keyboard.
I see you use the following command for chat:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "" "mschat:"
how do you find out the name of the app? This simple command line allows me to map hotkeys to apps. I would like to know how you found these so I can find them myself for new apps.

This app has a great future....keep it up op.
Hit thanks if i helped you

I've really no time to develop in this days, but there are a lot of new features in new version, with shortcuts to a lot of Windows 8 functions.
I've problem with some apps (all apps, native and thirdy), bu I believe in a solution.
Maybe in xmas holidays I can do something (or relase )

Could you elaborate on "windows protocols"? I could update the list for you as far I can find, cause I would like to use it as well...
And since you have little to no time to update I could help you update the current shortcuts that aren't working anymore so you could provide a small update.
cheers.

Thanks, but in this version It's no necessary.
However, in this weeki Will pubblish the 2.3 Beta

[ROOT] Switcher 4K for Z5/XZ/XZ2 Premium v1.3

Switcher 4K​
Hi,
I built a simple app that allow you to quickly switch the virtual resolution between default 2K and 4K without a computer.
Unfortunately, since the command is not available on the userland, the process needs superuser permission to change virtual resolution.
If you somehow manage to break your resolution, especially leading to crash loop of Xperia Home, check on other topics how to restore the original values.
Since the custom feature can be "dangerous" for the reasons above, I added a check when save and switch custom values to avoid any resolution under [email protected] (Z5 Compact default values).
Min Android version: 6.0
Target: 9.0
Screenshot(s):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Changelog:
Code:
v1.3: Updated to SDK 28 (Android 9.0).
Updated description string with "XZ2".
Removed useless email button.
[COLOR="Red"][B]Uninstall previous versions before installing this one ![/B][/COLOR]
v1.2: Implemented customization button and form. Values are saved in app storage.
v1.1: Implemented App Shortcuts (Android 7.1+).
Switching to 2K now reset to OEM values, not set 1080p ones.
v1.0: Release.
Planned in future releases (low probability..):
Code:
* Tab with buttons in the notification list.
* Widget with buttons, maybe.
* Any idea?
Download:
Grab the APK here or it is available on Play Store.

Nice! It would make more sense if it said "Xperia Z5/XZ Premium though!
Can you please change? :angel:

Yes, it is one of the goal of this app, being able to switch back to 1080p without a PC to use apps that doesn't support 4K.
The phone app is the most common known issue.

Is the battery consumption less?

Not much for usual usage, I suppose much if you play 3D games.
There is another topic I don't remember where speaking about this.

When set to 4k, the phone app no longer goes. g8141

Used this mod for over a week I sometimes get like a fpash of white light kind of flickering on.screen

You mean during the resizing ?

Get the screen flashing light and dark like screens messed when it's not though works perfectly. Then suddenly get flickering

Wow looks like weird...
What definition are you using ?
As described looks like a screen issue of your phone.. It happens in 1080p too ?

I saw that the best dpi on the 4k resolution without crashing any app wasn't 807 but 706, 720 or 721, I don't remember exactly sorry

This app do the same job like adb command (wm resolution 2160x3840)?

As far as I know, it does the exact same thing as the ADB command (except through an app).

It said that the newest file couldn't be found (error: 410)?
I tried the older version (1.1) And the program doesn't seem to do anything, is there a way to check?
