i just want to start off by saying that "Bloo" is one of the best app for facebook out there. the developer had decide to either let bloo die or make it open source.

please respect hes work and show support if you want "bloo" to survive.

visit hes website "fbandroid.wordpress.com" or on the market. and let him know how you feel.

By the way he has release a "Preview" of the new Bloo 1.5 With Facebook Chat. (REMEMBER IS NOT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE) everything seems to be working fine for me. but there should be some bugs.

****The only way to download this app is either by downloading "ASTRO" on the market. and download it straight from your SD Card****

**BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE NEW VERSION, PLEASE UN-INSTALL WHATEVER BLOO VERSION FROM YOUR PHONE FIRST**
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] drummingfool:
This app looks freaking awesome so far. Haven't had a chance to try out facebook chat yet, but will soon...

Does Bloo allow me to accept friend requests? I always hated the fact that I couldnt do this on the stock FB app.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aalopez10:
no it doesnt allowed to received friend request. due to "FACEBOOK" policies to third party apps. the only way to activate for you to received friend request on your mobile phone is by the "official android facebook app".

Bloo is one of the best facebook app hands down.

SHOW SUPPORT TO THE DEVELOPER

"fbandroid.wordpress.com"

TO KEEP BLOO ALIVE OR ELSE THE DEV WILL NO LONGER WORK ON THIS APP.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] doojer:
Let it die! Along with Facebook! :p
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sporkman:
I would like the chat even better if I could receive my replys

Once you get past the initial setup and permissions, Bloo is by far the best Facebook app I have used.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sporkman:
i fully agree but i need the chat to work lol i still cant get my responses from chat
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] blulitespecial:
The chat seems to be working fine for me. Except sometimes if I leave the chat, get a response in the notification bar, and click it, the response isn't there. I have to back out of the chat to the "friends online" list and go back into the chat of that one person.

Kinda annoying, but otherwise the best facebook app Ive used yet.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jgrimm5:
This is not good!

Wow, who says this is better than Facebook for Android app??? This app is terrible, everything I try to do needs approval first. Then after I got it all setup its slow, you scroll down past the feeds and wait while it downloads more, scroll down, and wait.....very annoying. I gave it a try but I would rather use the Facebook for Android app, its much improved.

I like the effort though but I say let it Die! :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
From a developers stand point - these issues you have are Facebook API related. If Facebook would open up their API or have an "App Approval" process then it would be a lot better.

I have to say even the Facebook app blows big monkey test....well you get the point.

I guess FB didn't get the Memo that Android has now out sold iPhone and all last year was expected to do so. Maybe they should have balanced the development budget a little more in favor of Android....who ever made that business decision is probably fired now, maybe them and the guy from apple who lost the 4g can go into an Epic Fail business together.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Along these lines I just read on engadget that Erick Tseng - THE Android guy at Google - just quit over at the big G to go to work for FaceBOOK.

I see an amazing Android app in our future. I'm stooked on pure speculations here!

i'll try bloo out, I heard babbler was good but never could get it to work right :confused:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sporkman:
lol sorry you data connection sucks hows this bloo's fault and preach to facebook about there API
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] barnacles10:
Um, you can set how many posts to load in the feed. It just auto loads when you get to the bottom no matter what. Facebook app doesn't even do that. All those permissions are one time things. Oh, and you want to look at a notification you received with the official facebook app? Looks like your redirecting to the browser! Might as well just use the touch site.. Bloo does EVERYTHING IN APP! Including notifications for wall posts, and other responses which the facebook app does not do. This app is not as pretty as the facebook app I will say, but def trumps it in usability
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] iviyth0s:
Bloo seems to be only good for telling me when there is notifications, other than that it's the stock app or mobile page for the best results. (or just viewing the full page in the browser)

thanx, been waiting forever for this!

Edit: Loving it already!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
I like it but I hope there is a way to hide the notification icon for Chat in the 'official' release
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aalopez10:
support the dev though....

the developer of this app has realease a big statement on hes blog.

about either letting bloo die for good and leave it as it is ,

SO SHOW SUPPORT AND LET HIM KNOW THAT U ENJOY USING HES APP SO THE UPDATES CONTINUE. AND BLOO WONT DIE OR ELSE THERE WONT BE ANY GOOD APP FOR FACEBOOK. the official facebook app SUCKZZZZ, "bloo" is the best facebook app out there hands down for android, it gives the experience that IPHONE DOES.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
Absolutely, I have posted on his blog before to tell him how good Bloo is. I really hope he does keep it going. Like you say, the official app is pretty poor.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MvP77:
I have to, every time he announces a new release. I also paid for Bloo about a yr ago and have used it ever since.

I wouldn't mind him goin open source and see what other devs can do with Bloo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Brajin:
Tried downloading this app directly to my phone and the download type isn't supported
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jonasl:
Common issue with apk's. Typically means that the server is presenting the web client with an incompatible MIME type and Android is really picky about those.

Install Astro file manager and enable "Enable browser download" in its preferences and it will likely work. What's happening is that Astro tells the system that it can handle virtually any MIME type so the system will let you download it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darx:
Not as clean and fast as the official app, but a good effort nonetheless. I can't figure out how to "like" something, any ideas?

Not for me so far, but I'll never say competition isn't good!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mykenyc:
i love the bubble style chat on blow wish i can use the exact same one for sms and no i don't mean like handcent i like exactly how cartoonish bloo is.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JHaste:
Ok so I am confused about the chat feature... is it just enabling it in our browsers or is there something I am missing?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xidominicanoix:
You long press the item you want to 'like'

When you start up Bloo, you'll see it in your notification bar just go to it and it should start up the FB chat .. tested it out and BEAUTIFUL!! :D

BTW, aalopez10, where did you find this? I've been looking for it and couldn't find it lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DeathCab4LU:
Thanks loving the update and deff will support Bloo
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JHaste:
Sick thanks! It was only doing the chat enable/disable thing in the notification bar before but its working now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aalopez10:
xidominicanoix,

one of the developers have release a public beta but its not the official yet so you wont find it anywhere in the market or anywhere at the moment.

one of the developer have said that he would make a facebook fan club called "SAVE BLOO" and it will have the PREVIEW APK that i provide for people to try it out.

hes not sure if he wants to continue working on this app due to the time it takes him as he only does it on the side besides hes real job. so he wants to make hes final decision either to leave bloo die or keep working on it.

support hes blog. and join the fan club on facebook so we can keep bloo alive and received more features for bloo and facebook chat and show to the "OFFICIAL FACEBOOK APP" that they suckkkk on updating there official app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JHaste:
Anyone having issues with Bloo 1.5 and Froyo? It seems like my chat doesnt go through sometimes or i have to log into chat twice... just seeing how everyone else was doing with this app...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aalopez10:
remember that anyone who downloaded froyo manually, based on google is was a "Froyo Built test" It was not the final froyo 2.2. so that means theres some bugs. and the apps is nothing to do with the development of froyo because is not the final realease. when google realease the final froyo 2.2 and apps are updated to work for 2.2 everything should work flawless.

****all APPS have to be updated to work for FROYO so BLOO has nothing to do with it at the moment till its updated. but for now hold on and wait because "froyo" is still new OS and developers have to update there apps to work for "froyo 2.2".*** but for now enjoy
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] snotf:
Anyone seeing issues with the chat not saving your permissions? Other than that, excellent app, loving it. Thx for throwing out the beta. Looking forward to a final release.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DN41:
hey m8s,

is there a program which locks the device and powers off the lcd?

would be perfect to create a shortcut on homescreen...

thanks in advance,

DN41
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Veldmuus:
just press 1 time the off/on button? the most right? its turn off LCD and goes in lock at me, so is that shortcut not enough?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] anhphe076:
Here you're!!

Power Off & Lockscreen device lock !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DN41:
red and blue is just the color of the icon, right?

thanks :) testing it right now ;)

@ veldmuus: maybe it sounds silly, but i dont wanna use my hw-buttons that often ;)

DN41
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] anhphe076:
The Red's icons red color! ....! You add Power Off.lnk in Start Menu to Today tab Quick link!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DN41:

i installed cab and created shortcut to power.exe...there are two, but one is from htc's settings...

From HTC Support, after getting annoyed of the poor performance of the HD2

Hi Edward, thanks for your email. There is a ROM update for your device imminent. we are just waiting for it to be uploaded to the website. in the meantime, there was an update back in january which you might like to try unitl the new one is released: http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=856 best regards, Pete Whiteley HTC
[HD2 General] danielshaw007:
Im currently using the ROM you linked to and my phone seems to run fine!

Im just waiting for the new 1.72 rom to be released for non operator HD2!
[HD2 General] eddie_wakey:
its **** on mine, always runs slow, does my head in! hopefully have a desire on order ;)
[HD2 General] Yorkshire Yellow:
There's 2x HD2s in our house, both which have been updated to VF UK 1.72 ROM.

It may just be a coincidence, but soon after they both started acting weirdly, with one now not booting up being off for repair (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=638210&page=4).

The other only booting up on a charger but being stuck in a cycle of boot, HTC white screen, vibrate, power off, power on and repeat
[HD2 General] stefanclark:
I had the above cycling problem when plugged in when using a replacement battery i got off ebay... my standard battery or the other spare battery didn't have this problem..
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Could be a bad flash if a ROM runs badly. These things can happen.
[HD2 General] Yorkshire Yellow:
Thanks for the suggestions

madindehead - Thanks, but original battery, so perhaps unlikely?

stefanclark - Interesting. Not at all up to speed on ROM flashing. Can you explain how I can do that on the constantly rebooting handset, or point me in the direction of thread that gives me step by step instructions, please?
[HD2 General] LiFE1688:
Corrupted Data sent to a device during flashing of ROM can result in what you described. You might want to check your computer to see if there are problems with your computer.

Try running MEMTEST86+ for a couple of cycles on your computer just to be sure. For 1 device to break after updating the firmware would be bad luck. For more than 1 device breaking after updating, some thing is wrong some where.

Do you experience BSOD in Windows or Kernel Panic in Linux? If so, run MEMTEST86+ or your favorite RAM test programs for a couple of cycles to see if it is the culprit.
[HD2 General] Yorkshire Yellow:
Phew!

Well, it seems like it was a bent battery pin, as per yarod_g14's post on page 1 of this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=658944. Bizarre really! HD2 now sat happily on my desk, charging away.
[HD2 General] Jawb:
Sounds nice, hope it is true...
[HD2 General] Persuader X:
Too many days only to upload a ROM to their servers, don't you think?

Best regards
[HD2 General] Yorkshire Yellow:
It's true...

Yes, it is true. I’ve not had any major hang ups on my device since it came back, and have been using the little red reset button inside the battery cover if I need to reboot. Oh, and I have the ‘soft rest’ app on HD2 Tweaks as well. No repeat of the past problems, so it must have been a battery pin issue.
[Nexus One General] rolle3k:
Not sure if this has already been posted but here it is:

Froyo is making nice progress it seems, but I am not sure if you can put applications in there on your own. My guess, those icons are hardcoded in there.

As seen in this video @ 6:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y7XJI4NN7k
[Nexus One General] lorin.bute:
It would be awful if they were hard coded. I'm ok with the phone button but maybe i wanna put something else in stead of the browser.
[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
you should perhaps do a search before posting. this exact video is about 8 threads down, here
[Nexus One General] renboy2:
Interesting, a drop down icon below the google icon in the search widget... does that mean you can change your search engine?
[Nexus One General] Lass3:
Seems like they let you change orientation how you want in froyo :D Like cyangoen, or whoever did that mod did :D
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Nice find. Anything can be changed :)
[Nexus One General] jp_macaroni:
thats cool, I can roll with that.
[Nexus One General] jblazea50:
maybe it's just me, but i don't find that launcher very attractive; i like the helixlauncher's ability to add 4 shortcuts, which looks much better than this
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
I'm guessing it's so you can choose options like Image search, local search, books etc.

That makes more sense to me, but who knows.
[Nexus One General] cchhk:
I love this since helixlauncher2 FC alot!
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:

[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
I liked the previous one better...

The update isn't launched yet and it can be anything....

Fingers crossed...
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
wish they would add the ability to turn the notification bar from white to black. I also like helixlauncher2's ability to remove the notification bar entirely from the homescreen.
[Nexus One General] uberingram:
No it doesn't. I haven't had a single crash in over a month. Maybe you should unbreak your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] jaskiratsingh:
Kindly move this thread in correct forum, if this is not the correct forum.

The messages are stored in my phone memory and now they exceed over 2 MB in size. Currently i have 8MB of free memory left and want to have as much free memory as possible. I hard reset my phone and found there is one message that is on the Storage Card. I have no idea, how it got there but i would like to save all my messages on my Storage Card. I have tried MemMaid and changed the storage card cache to Memory Card but no luck.

I am attaching a screenshot. If anyone is aware, kindly update.
[General Questions and Answers] casklaverstijn:
That sms is not stored on your storage card. It is stored on your sim card.
[General Questions and Answers] pepesz:
It's not the storage card, it's SIM card. And since you have very limited space on the SIM you don't want to place messages there.

Correct me if I'm wrong but so far no one managed to successfully move the messages to storage card.
[General Questions and Answers] jaskiratsingh:
Aaaahhhhh... Thanks guys.. I completely forgot about the SIM Card. My bad :D

Hi

Looking for a rom that will operate the flash videos from internet

Thank you
[Touch HD General] bigdyl69:
Its not a ROM you're looking for. If you want to view them in a browser window then the new Opera 10 will do it as long as you have the flash for WM plugin installed and plugins enabled within flash. Otherwise a decent multimedia player such as CorePlayer will play the files directly from phone or memory card
[Touch HD General] Don-Maco:
sky fire 5

opera 10 final
[Touch HD General] Don-Maco:
energy roms are the best...

Add skyfire 5 and you are good 2 go
[Touch HD General] arassu:
and you need SKYFIRE browser. Choose stable ROM to prevent lagging in playing those files.
[Touch HD General] FrankDrebin:
I had once rom worked at a flash site but I do not remember what it was

http://www.skyfire.com/ it really works, and it is very good web site load very quickly

MOD EDIT - Moved to general discussion and re-named title
[Desire Accessories] temka:
Hi guys,

I have just bought the PO S520 case for my Desire. What can I say? First impression - a nice case with a sleek minimalistic design.

The leather quality is good, you can actually smell that it's real leather (not the faux leather as sold plenty at eBay). The leather is quite soft, you can bend the case very easily if you want to. There are also two.. erm.. "hardening plates" inside the case itself that hold its shape so that it does not feel too soft just like a piece of leather. The "plates" are quite soft as well, apparently made from thin plastic or hard paper. Those are nothing that you can actually see, as they are "sewed in" into the front and rear part of the case. I hope you understand what I mean.

The ex-Blackberry owners having those super-hard-leather-cases that feel like leather but are hard as a rock - no, the PO S520 is not like one of these.

The inner lining is made of some kind of a soft polyester fabric (the one you meet quite often on the inner part of skiing winter gloves, for example). The quality seems to be ok at a first glance.

The phone fits nicely in the case, no parts are sticking out.

The pouch felt a bit tight for the Desire at the first time, (specially the lower part) So i tried to see how stretchable it is. On my way from Tottenham Court Rd to South Kensington (20 mins roughly) I was trying to stretch it with a mock-up Desire (the one they use at stores for display purposes) inserting it slightly angled, holding the pouch a bit skewed etc. When I arrived to work the pouch already felt much more comfortable. So, the verdict is ==> Yes, it does stretch.

As for the pull-out strip. I was very worried about this one as it actually wraps around the whole lower part of your phone when it's inside the pouch. And, of course, when you pull your phone out, it experiences a lot of friction. I was afraid of the phone's soft-touch coating to disappear with time. Looking more carefully has shown that HTC has at least thought about this thing and has made the "inner" side of the strip (the one that faces your phone when inserted) a bit more silky and glossy that might *cough* help the soft-touchiness to live a bit longer.

One pleasant thing to notice was a small magnet inside the end of the pull-out strip. Thus the end does not flutter around but sits tight attached to the case at all times.

A bit less pleasant thing to notice were the inner stitches. On one of the pics showing the inside of the pouch you see two black stitches on the inner-backside. Those are not very flush and may leave "soft-scratches" on the backside of your Desire, so be careful or ask your mum for a solution, she definitely knows how to handle the stitches ;) I personally do not think that this is a real issue as the stitches are nothing "hard" or "sharp".

Right now I have used the pouch for some 90 minutes. Will keep playing with it for the rest of the day and will update the review if needed.

If you have anything to add - don't be shy ;)

Cheers.
