http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
For any of you who want the Google Now feature from jellybean. The update came out yesterday finally got voice working. So its pretty much a fully functional Google Now port
Edit: its more of a work around for voice. But it works well

Thread Closed
It's nice to know that improvements were made on the Google Now app.
However, in the interest of keeping the thread a little cleaner, I will close this thread. And the reason, is that any issues resulting from the Google Now app, should be put in the apps OP, or the Q&A forum.
Not to mention I think all people know about the app, and it thus constitutes duplicate threads.

? About Twitter / Peep

Not a massive question but would like some help.
In the pursuit of finding the best twitter app, I have literally tried them all. Long time Touiter / Plume user. Loving tweetdeck but the ui is pretty ugly. For the hell of it I tried the official twitter app and it isn't bad. Not for me though. Then I got to thinking I've never tried Peep before so I readded it to my phone and really like it.
So my question is : I hate twitter apps that everytime you open it up, it takes you to newest tweets. Big reason I stuck with Plume / TweetDeck so long. Peep pops to top everytime.
Is there anyway to stop it from doing that? Just updates tweets but stays on last viewed like Plume / Tweetdeck? If I can figure that out I'll be able to get rid of multiple twitter apps on my phone. Peep seems to do it all and looks really good too.
Any suggestions or fixes?

Nothing? Damn. Figured one of the awesome wizards on here knew how to do something.

To answer your question no there isn't a way/option for peep to remember your last position on your timeline. Awesome feature yes, but unfortunately peep as most of the HTC sense apps and UI elements is closed source. Which makes messing with it a tadbit difficult for devs. So there's your answer, sorry its not the one you were looking for.

What didn't you like about the official app, features that you like missing? I use it and love it better than anything else out there. I use that and twitvid app, perfect combination IMO.
The official app doesn't always go to the newest tweets.

[Q] Backup of Android Contact Links

So, I just asked this question in the CM7 thread, but figured it didn't hurt to ask to all Tbolt Developers...
Is there any way to backup your contact links? For instance, I linked a bunch of my phonebook contacts to my facebook contacts, but if I perform a full wipe those links do not get synced and I have to manually relink all of the contacts again (which takes quite some time!).
I noticed that the Facebook for Sense contact information gets synced, but after a wipe the regular Facebook link information does not.
I am running CM7 RC0.6 and really want to flash the newest ROM with MR2 support, but want to do a full wipe first and would love to not have to re-link all of my contacts to facebook again.
Thank you!!
Cool rom bro... what features does it have? Screenshots?
I used to have to go through all that as well on my old Eris. I never discovered a way to back them up so I just changed my contacts name to match their Facebook names and no more problems.

Do you think if I backed up and restored Contact Storage with titanium backup the links would be preserved?

I have the same issue, though with time (and deleting lots of contacts/renaming some) it appears to pick up most of them and relinks about 20-50 at a time over the course of the few hrs it takes to sync completely.
edit: Also, yes this thread should be moved to the Q&A section.

[Q] Gmail App

Man how awkward do I feel about having to post this.
I've searched through various areas of the forums and googled too but I can't get the answer that makes sense to me.
I'm running Joker Droid 4.2 and my Gmail app has gone.
When I look for it via market on the phone it doesn't show in results, just lots of third party add ons etc.
When I enter market on my PC and send it to my device it never arrives.
I'm sorry for the nubish nature of my question but any help would be gtreatfuly received.
Look for GApps. Good luck.
Flash the Gapps package through recovery , you should get many google apps when you reboot , BUT you should wait a while for apps to apper , and to forget to backup before flashing

[Q] Miui messaging app?

Hey guys. I'm just wondering if I could get a hold of this .apk. and I was wondering would it work if its a replacement for my system app (messaging).
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I believe it relies on the miui framework so you can't just take it out
Supra-charged 3D
It would be great if some dev made a sms app that looks exactly like Miui's, it's really nice looking
If i recall correctly, someone already is.. check around in the forums.

This is the thread you are looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461693
i cannot find the download link in the post, or in the market. And i apologize for not being specific, i would like the Miui messaging because of the popup feature when you get a text message. I realize that go sms can do that, but i hate the UI of go sms and other sms apps alike.
so it's impossible to have this app?
Moved as not software release.... [Q]
As already noted it's the MIUI framework it relys on.
The link posted is [WIP] Work in progress he's a dev with many projects and not enough time "as most are" it's the best we'll get on release to MIUI messaging.

Facebook?

I'm having several issues with FB, the biggest being after I look at "X" pictures (My man Club?) no pictures will open. I have to reboot the phone and it works for a minute, then same thing? It seems to me, each time a i open a photo/movie and I backout, it stays in memory until FB is usless?
Lastly, and not that I really give a crap, some of my ex-wife post I get, others I dont. The Only reason I mention, she will post pictures of Granddaughter. Friends of mine get them and call and tell me how cute she is. I dont get them. The she will post something else, I get it, so she did not defriend me? makes no sense!
I have version 1.9.6
Anyclue?
Anyone? 100 views and no replys, any thoughs would be appricated.
Don't know about the pictures and videos, but I know you can block specific people or groups from any post you make, so your ex could be choosing to block you on certain posts.

Not to be smart, trust me, she has no clue how. Matter fact, no one in that family nor mine (except me) could do that. Oh well............
More worried about my phone freezing after I open "X" amount of photos. I cleaned up text messages, e-mails, mobile photos today (Photos are on FB anyway). Maybe Photon will run better?
Use friendcaster. Much better than official fb app anyway.
Well, mystery #1 solved (I think), she (they) are not smart enough to defriend me and she swore off FB. But since my daughter loves it and so do her religious friends, they created secret goup just for them. Click on THAT group and post, only they see it. I guess now and then, she slips and just post on her main wall. If I go to her profile, I see ALL the post! That makes sense.
With the freezing, clueless. Since Feb 18th, 2012, I have not installed or updated one single app!

Friendcaster is nice; there's also Fast and Scope (Scope is invite only; install the app and then use invite code "theverge" to create an account) but none of the third-party Facebook apps can see your entire feed. There will always be some things that will not show up in third-party clients.
A more elegant solution I have found is to use Facebook on your mobile browser. It takes some tweaking to get the desktop site to display, but it can be done. Make sure you're accessing www.facebook.com and not just facebook.com; also setting the user agent to desktop can help as well.
Also, you can get the customizable Maxthon (google it, it lets you customize the name, icon, homepage, and other settings). Name it Facebook, give it a Facebook icon and splash screen, and set the homepage to Facebook, bam, you got a Facebook browser. The browser itself is very capable, and has the user agent feature if you want to use it for the desktop version.
It just helps to have options. The Facebook app has always been sub-par.
I use SEESMIC. It works surprisingly well. Works with twitter too, but I use tweetcaster for that.

When my phone starts messing up, it's the first app I delete. Works everytime! and the funny thing, I don't have the other apps you mention here and my auto-update is off for everything. FB just crashes the phone for no reason out of the blue. Always has!
Are you on stock? I'm running MIUI and mine crashes mostly when rotating the screen but sometimes for no reason at all.

I'm stock, but it seems not to matter as I was unlocked and running CM7. Sadly, the only people I know NOT having issues are the 4 iPhone users I know. If I were adding apps and/or doing auto updates, I would maybe understand. I'm not.
Facebook I'd a billion dollar company, producing crap apps. The problem I have with there app is that every update will make or break the functionality. On a side note, the reason handloom works so well on, iOS, is because they have a whooping 10+/- devices to support, versus the hundreds of android devices on various os software. Ie: eclair, froyo, gingerbread, ics, honeycomb, etc. So I can't hate the facebook android devs completely just hate the issues that come with updates!

I don't use any facebrick app I only check facebrick from the stock browser. I don't have any issues whatsoever.
Granted the function of uploading pictures to facebrick is done through the gallery on the rocko rom I am using.
