I am not big on the whole facebook or myspace thing, but I saw a commercial for a winbloze fone that had an interesting feature/app and was wondering if there is something like that for android (vibrant).
It had a window split in to fourths, one part was for notifications via facebook, one for myspace, one for twiiter, one for sms/emails.
is there anything like this? Could something like this be created?
That's not an app - that's Windows Phone 7.
Vibrant has similar, with the Feeds & Updates widget.

There is an app launcher like this. Its called "Windows Phone Android." I've seen it before and it spreaded thru twitter like wildfire,but it never caught interest for me. IMO i dont think its ready for primetime just yet as it does seem buggy and lacks some nice features.
theres an app for that.... haha
Hey yall!
I bought my Mom a TF201 for Christmas. She doesn't have a cell phone, but would like to take advantage of a texting app, so that she can text my sister and I, like apps that are available for iPod Touch or the iPad. Is there an Android app that will set her up with a phone number to send and receive texts from? I've tried TextPlus and TxtMe but both are designed to sync up with an android phone, which is of course practical, but not something she has. We live in Canada, so sadly, Google Voice is not an option, which breaks my heart, I love Google Services, and wish we had access to GVoice here.
If anyone can offer me some suggestions, that would be great!
Thanks a lot!
*cheers*

That was exactly the type of app I was looking for! She's all set up with a number for texting. Thanks a lot!
Here are some alternatives to SMS:
MySMS:

Kik:

Personally, I've only tested Kik and it works very well.

I use Viber on it, and if you have a rooted one you can use whatsapp.
Ok. So up until now I have been using TweetDeck (or rather TweakDeck -- it's improved counterpart) and I guess I can still use it for a bit but Twitter has announced that the Adobe Air, Android, and iOS versions will be discontinued and will be removed from their app stores by May. There isn't a chance that just keeping the apk around will suffice though because apparently the app relies on depreciated APIs as well. What I'm looking for is a Twitter/Facebook client that will support custom columns to be added. I had 3 on mine. One for a work feed with very little activity (they post very specific updates) and a couple of other people that I want to watch that would of gotten lost in the noise of my news feed otherwise. I'm not finding any clients other than TweetDeck/TweakDeck that provide this. Can anyone provide me with any suggestions?
Thanks.
Source (app being discontinued): http://tweetdeck.posterous.com/an-update-on-tweetdeck
P.S. - I'm willing to take a Twitter only client with the custom columns since I only used it on that end but it becomes a pain since I've already gotten into a trend of reposting some twitter items onto my facebook profile for visibility and having just one app makes it easier.
Plume is worth checking out
You could try Ubersocial for Twitter.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twidroid&hl=en
It has the ability to cross post to facebook as well.
This is a very good app, and is my go-to app for the twittersphere.
Trying Plume and Scope right now, and I believe I've tried Ubersocial in the past
Any app that lets you have one unified timeline that displays both Twitter AND Facebook posts at the same time? Plume wants them to be separate columns, and Scope wants to add additional 'social content' from places like Reddit, The Verge, and ThinkGeek into my timeline
All horrible
I've tried the following:
HootSuite
Plume
Scope
and they are all terrible. They contain much too much crap, they all want me to register with THEIR service (I need more accounts like I need a hole in the head), but worst of all, they don't allow me a single-column view of both Facebook and Twitter. Arguably the best feature of TweetDeck/TweakDeck. Also, they all have ads, and they're all annoying.
I honestly don't know what to do. I've been searching for a client ever since the original announcement, but I haven't been able to find anything. At this point I'm considering just writing my own. I'm not going to say "how hard can it be?", but as a software developer by trade, it's not just idle speculation. I think the hardest would be getting the Twitter and Facebook APIs in line. No ads, no registration, no bull****.
Edited to add: Mind you I don't *want* to have to do this, so any suggestions would be preferable.
Yeah, Plume seems like the best alternative, and it lacks significant features. I can't see every column status all at once, can't customize individual column notifications, and can't add users to their own column. May have to add requests to their support page. But I'm just using TweakDeck until it stops functioning. Apparently Facebook has already stopped working, so I haven't even seen Facebook updates for awhile. Lol. Hate when there's not that one perfect solution.

I still see facebook updates in TweakDeck. Occasionally, on the desktop version (0.38.2), the facebook updates won't come in, but a restart or two (of the application) usually solves that.
Bump. Anyone find any good clients that allow custom columns? The next best thing I've found so far is Scope Beta.

So Tweetdeck stopped working for everyone, right? Want to make sure, cause I don't want to let go. Lol. Thought it was supposed to end in May, so at least I got a couple more months out of it. Will have to try Seesmic. Didn't stack up when I tried it a couple years ago. Hootsuite looks good, but still can't find one that adds a single user's timeline *and* per-column updates.

I'm looking for the exact same thing. I don't think it exists. But a promising app I tried was Scope Beta. It's not exactly TweetDeck but it's the best I could find.

I'm looking for this exact same thing too! After TweetDeck stopped working, I immediately Googled and found TweakDeck, which is basically the exact same thing. Worked great, until the past week or so. Guessing it's dead again, but this time I didn't have any luck finding a good copy.
So yeah, I'll try that Scope Beta out, is it on PC too perhaps?

Unfortunately there's no desktop version. But I think TweetDeck for desktop is still up. I think only the Android version is dead. I don't think the desktop version of TweetDeck allows for custom Facebook columns though.

Ah yes my bad, Desktop version still works, very nice. I was just using a very outdated version.
Haven't tried Scope yet on Android, all I want is the lists tbh, I don't use facebook colums or so. I just want a much better overview of all the people I follow, and I'm currently doing that with lists.

If you want just Twitter lists then Plume is your best bet. It's what I've been using. It works like a dream and allows you to have columns for your lists. It's also got a nice clean modern UI.

Wondering if anyone discovered anything new since the last post? Looking for custom columns for Facebook specifically that allows for custom updates.

Anyone find anything helpful?
As title asks - is there any good Skype clients out there? The official one is preposterously bad and one of the few I can find that actually does Skype is IM+ but that one isn't too minimalistic either.
Is there any good ones that I don't know about?

Looks like you dont need video-calls support, right? I used IMO in the past.
Its a very good app, simple, clean and works with many services, even steam

Ye, I've been around IMO. I didn't really like the UI last time I used it but judging from screenshots it seems ok now. Sadly it also seems like Skype is no longer supported?
Boy, I missed the days when MSN/WLM got used. It was so much more flawless than Skype is an non of this "only possible to use official client" BS.. Sigh
Is there any good skype client now?
Been using this app for years but lately it seemed to have stopped and I see dev gave up on it..... what does everybody use ? or any way to get this working again ???

Sort of in the same boat but haven't really been too motivated to replace it, but just for context, the reason for the stoppage seems to be that Facebook retired V1 of its public API on April 30 2015.
In theory anyone could take up the task of updating the haxsync source but afaik it hasn't generated any interest from a willing and able party.
Damnnnn sucks, which somebody would get it working again
Damnnn Surprised no other dev has taken up on this....... Haxsync had a nice fanbase and it was a paid app also...... Anybody found any alternative ?

In May 2015, Facebook dumped it's old API which supported getting a complete list of all your friends from within an app. The new API does not support this. The only friends it can see now are friends who have the same app. Facebook basically broke every app that does what Haxsync does. This is why you don't see any new ones.
I'm not an android dev. I'm just repeating what I was told. I do wonder why my dialer app on my LG G3 is still able to sync all photos, though. I think that is done automatically through the Facebook app. Maybe it has more permissions allowed through Facebook than standard apps. I don't know.
