• “Guide me Home”-Function for people who easily loose orientation like myself (see ‘Direction View’)
  To reach the location you have to travel into the direction displayed on the device (when the device in pointing to the top you are traveling into the correct direction – when it points to the bottom you are departing from the location)
• Zoom IN & Zoom OUT for Path, Elevation and Speed views

* UPDATE ÜberTwitter Beta v2.1 is now available. Post updated below. *

ÜberTwitter announced it’s new version Beta 2.1 will be available tomorrow, May 15.

Here is a list of features and bug fixes that will be included in the update:

• Added ‘Send to UberTwitter’ item to BB OS versions below 4.6 when viewing picts/videos, allowing you to send pictures already on your device
• Support for yfrog.com images in preview/view (note there is a bug we are working on where BIS-B users can’t see yfrog images, works for Direct TCP)
• Support for mobypicture.com images in preview/view
• Merging @replies (replies and mentions) into your timeline is now optional (default off), changeable through options wizard. Note that turning this on can make you more easily hit the rate limit. In a future release we’ll allow a completely separate update schedule for @replies
• Moved @replies and Direct Messages To You menu items up towards the top for convenience
• Fixed bug when trying to follow people from any of the search timelines
• Fixed bug where device updates were set to on when you followed someone, regardless if you didn’t select that option
• Added shortcut ‘d’ to direct message someone
• Added Direct Message to menu in Friends/Followers
• Small avatars should work fine now, when you change it automatically changes your timeline, flushes cache, etc.
• Added option to NOT use BB sound/vib notifications – some models are almost impossible to figure out how to change. Note that the default setting is OFF, so if you want notifications you need to go into the options wizard and check this option.
• Avatars weren’t being scaled correctly, causing issues on some devices
• ReTweets were setting the ‘reply-to-id’, which would cause it to be treated like a reply, which did not allow some users to view the tweet
• Changed fonts on status update screen to be consistent
• When pict/vid is added to tweet, subtract correct number of characters to account for URL, making the character count more accurate
• Fixed bug where uncaught exception could occur if you clicked an ‘@user’ in another bb app and ÜberTwitter wasn’t already running
• Fixed bug where some failures to retrieve avatars could result in ’spinning arrows’ and a huge battery drain.
• Turned on an auto-refresh whenever your timeline screen is exposed, this was requested by many users!

  • Install Applications and Themes via Desktop Manager

Some of these themes have only OTA links and some only have ZIP downloads. Hope this makes up for the lack of 8800 series themes in the Mini Directory for now! More to come…
