App to auto scroll / stream Twitter? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

While I'm working, I keep my device on a charging stand and let it display pictures etc. I'd like to instead stream my Twitter feed. Does anyone know of a app that will continually scroll the feed as new tweets arrive? I don't want to have to touch it to refresh it. I've tried the original twitter app and a 3rd party one called Talon so far and neither can do that.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

[Q] Suggestion for app that merges mutiple social networking sites?

I only need Twitter and Facebook ( G+ would be a bonus )
So far every application I use, regardless if it's seesmic, hootsuite or tweakdeck, does not work well.
Seesmic and Hootsuite does not have a unified wall for all tweets and status update like tweetdeck does.
Tweetdeck (and the modified "Tweakdeck") does not support full Facebook functionality. Sometimes I would be missing notification for certain tweets or post as well.
Seesmic does not allow one to view who has "liked" your post.
It is issues like this that annoys me since at times I cannot respond to friends or other people. Every app has to lack something. I cannot find an app does function like Facebook + Twitter. Somebody SIMPLY has to take out certain features.
I'm hoping for someone on XDA to prove me wrong. Any suggestions for a better social networking application?

Can't find Facebook albums

I hope I'm just being really dumb here, but I can't work out how to view friends' albums on Facebook on my prime (using the official app).
When I browse a profile on my phone using the same app, I get the - About - Friends - Photos - Likes thumbnails, but not on my Prime.
Anyone else noticed this?
facebook seems to update like every three days, honestly your better off making a shortcut in your web browser and using their mobile site, its touch oriented and works better than any app i have used. You can also get your notifications from facebook going to your email so you can get notifications when people message you or whatever in email instead of in the notification bar and it still takes you directly to the content.
Sure its an extra button press but thats what works well for me. YMMV.
Was kind of expecting a 'use the browser' response, which is fair enough I guess.
Just wondered why the feature was removed or if it's just hidden somewhere.
I prefer using apps to browsers.

News & Social App that auto-updates?

I sit my tablet on my desk at home and work, and I was thinking today how nice it would be to have an app that allows me to configure news feeds, video sources, connects to my facebook, etc that would update automatically. That way I could leave the screen on, and look over once in awhile and just monitor what is going on in the world, my life, etc.
Does anyone know of an app that could do this and is pretty configurable?
Thanks!

SEARCHING / REQUEST app to assign Twitter app on People's links

I sync Facebook contacts through Facebook for HTC Sense and when you're seeing a contact on People app on HTC EVO 3D you're able to click a link to see the Facebook profile of the person, it's a nice shortcut built-in in the People app. The best part of it is that I can bypass Facebook for HTC Sense crappy broken UI integration (because many updates of the contacts doesn't appear there) and HTC "refuses" to update it. So I tap it and there's an option to use the official Facebook app on this shortcut. ^^ Yes!
What I'm looking for is an app that can handle the Twitter link from the link on the people profiles so I can bypass the broken Twitter for HTC Sense (named Peep) (which API's so outdated that can't even display full RTs, replies and conversations), and assign it to open the person profile's in Twitter official app which opens everything right.
There's these apps called "Select Other Map for HTC" and "Skip HTC Locations" which purpose is to allow you to choose the map application of your choice when tapping people or events locations so I thought my wish might be possible for the Twitter app.
Could somebody help me?

[Q] Gmail app crops photos from ads etc..

Hi all,
I witnessed an issue regarding all android phones/versions between 2.1-4.2 without any solution, and I couldn't find any thread that talks about it in the proprietary+google search.
The issue: pic's get cropped, and I'm forced to click the "can't view properly? click here" link to the web page.
Here's a screeenshot:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-naiwBRz1aRlprYWNyUmNWMDA/edit?usp=sharing
The issue isn't for all mails, and there are some mail that can be viewed properly within the Gmail app itself.
I'm currently running the latest Gmail app as you can see with the top nav buttons.
Anyone else experiencing this issue ?
Go into : Menu -Settings - General settings - Auto -fit messages. Check it, and back out. The message should now be entirely seen in the screen. To Zoom in just tap the screen, or use the two finger spread method.
Tried that already...just forgot to mention.
any other ideas?
It's something a bit more complicated than a just a setting or wrong usage.
Other than that, the only other thing I can suggest is to unistall mail. Then reinstall.

Thanks again for your answer !
Well I've uninstalled the gmail several times when tried the leaked Gmail apps(the first one that supports swipe to archive+pinch to zoom, and obviously the last one who supports the new tabs interface).
I'll just mention it's not a specific problem but cross device and cross android+Gmail versions.
I tried every version of android/gmail combo(forwarding lots of mail to friends etc) but each time they all get the same problem.
The only thing I figured out who kinda gave me an alternative is use the stock mail client and not the gmail one, but in that case I'm loosing lots of the Gmail app functionality.
This is really something that just myself noticed? this is not one mail or a specific sender.
In the OP you mentioned that it does not happen on all your Gmail Email. Is it just from certain People / Companies ?
No, it's usually when I get promotion emails from my bank or some online shopping websites that uses big photos that are basically links.
Moreover, it's always from automated mails BUT I think that's only because I'm not receiving large photos in personal emails.
I would recheck settings. I know sometimes when I'm frustrated, I miss stuff.

Thanks again for your effort, I'm really certain that I haven't miss an option as every new app version that releases I'm scanning all of the features.
Here's a screen shot of my settings, I've highlighted the only possible option that can affect this, by my understanding:

BTW In case that I'm not clear enough with the issue I can forward(if you want to PM me with your mail) you one of those mails, I got lots of them. Of course if it's ok by you...
I'd love to hear any other ideas
