New Facebook app from WM 6.5 - XPERIA X1 General

found this in another thread, for X1 users this works great and gives a slightly better experience than the panel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489379

It's really great. Did you check on X1?

Yes, been running it for a few days on my X1 with no problems.
Prefer this one over the panel too, allows me to do other tasks and leave it running in the background

Ya, this is really awesome! I can't believe i can do so much without using Opera!

wm6.5 is out??

It's not bad but it doesn't refresh like it should so you find there are posts, status updates, photos and all sorts of stuff missing from the news feeds.

Here too. And it's not updateing my status. But, overall, it,s ok.

I believe the updates are staggered so your connection isn't flooded with continuous updates, although when i refreshed it seemed fairly fast. WM 6.5 Beta is out, they pulled the link on XDA after M$ complained that their CAB had sneaked onto the net. FYI, i did a search and haven't found it anywhere... but i'm waiting for 7 anyways... not a Honeycomb Kid, myself.

Just a note to say this app has been updated, and is now officially out. It has fixed a few things, such as being unable to refresh your own wall, but frustratingly a few bugs still exist (for me anyway). Get it here: http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=74767568466&h=HojHN&u=0JC5r&ref=mf

There are a tons of WM 6.5 ROM's out there, 6.5 is far more than a CAB, even though it isn't much more than 6.1. The honeycomb is long gone too. Titanium is really the best part, kinda makes panels, TF3D, anything else obsolete.

err, that's a link through btw. goes somewhere else, not officially facebook. think i'll skip it as i'm generally distrustful.

Lol ok fair enough, I was just posting the link from the official Windows Mobile Facebook page. Here is the actual page minus the Facebook frame: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx Trust is good

nice one, thanks.
it's also over in the hacking forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489379

fyi,
good news: you can comment on statuses now.
bad news: you can't see other people's comments on statuses (nor even if there are any) without clicking on the status, going to their profile and then changing to the wall tab.
am i the only one that primarily uses facebook for commenting on statuses and reading other people's comments? pain in the arse!

i have lost kinetic scrolling from the beta to the offical rom.
has anyone got kinetic scrolling?

Wow...I can't wait
Quite interesting Homescreen for a Windows Mobile phone. Wonder if it runs on Adobe Flash Lite? May try it out.
I saw this a few days ago and nearly wet myself.
I hope it's highly customizable as it looks like it has a lot of potential.

This is "just" a frontend/launcher, so everything will work as usual.
I wonder if there will be something like "S2U" or something else... i LOVE this feature.

Waiting till the end of the clock.
nothing showed.
Can't download.
Nadavi
well, clock reached zero, but only the text "pointui.com" appeared. When visited the site, nothing happened, so, i'm guessing the clock has to reach zero in whichever time zone 'they' are....
Will just have to keep waiting until that happens, i.e. keep checking the website
Haha you didn't really believe this would work?
I hope it's skinable, it looks unpleasant
clock is not zero for me.8 hours is remaining
It's there to download!
http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx
just downloaded and installed.
works a treat, just dont forget to turn off touchflo b4 you install
Would like a black skin, but these guys have done an awesome job. Interface is realy smooth and simple to use.
Good to see the Aussie blokes making it a New Years day present for us.
The rest of the world will catch up soon.
Happy New Year all.

New Version Of Opera Mobile Today 2008-10-20

I just wandered over to the site to look for the heck of it and check it out!
Last updated: 20.10.2008
http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/
Awesome trying it now, Been running the 2325 build that was from the diamond I think which was pretty sweet as it got rid of that stupid out of memory error. Been running great on my titan thus far. Will try this one see if anything has been improved or changed.
Thanks for the update!
P.S. Mozilla should be coming out very shortly as well!!! Also very excited to see how well that one runs!!
update: Well after using the beta 2 update. I still get the nice out of memory error after browsing the Neverwinter Nights 2 forums with a second tab open as well as other news sites. Never encountered this error with the 2392 build. Oh well. Back to that build until they fix this stupid error.
Can anyone else give their opinion on the new Opera Mobile? I haven't tried it yet. I was curious if it was better than Opera Mini and/or Skyfire.
It still seems too bulky for this device...it's better than IE, but Opera Mini beats in by a long shot. Still no flash either.
I think Opera Mini is by far the best browser ever. Obviously has its limitations... But when it comes to speed, its unbeatable. I can happily surf 4chan and jj.am, as well as any other website.

Sure let me see what I can whip up! I'll edit this post and put in a link when I am done.
Here is the orignal link to the post. It was posted by one of our fellow ever helpful XDA users phouki. Credit goes to him for different cab builds and information!
Clicky click!
Oh okay. I have never used one of the many builds from the diamond. How stable is it?
Which build do you use for the Mogul? That might be just a little helpful to include

Well I use it everyday to surf and read new sites / forums including this one and excluding the load times it takes for opera servers to convert and realign the formats it's quite solid. I also am a mogul user and this is the build I use incase anyone was curious if I was even a fellow mogul user.

Facebook, no 'Like' in News/Update pages, and cant see comments!!

Where is the 'Like' button and why on earth can you only see the original status posted by a friend and not any comments made about that status???
I Commented on a friends status only to find out (logged on from my PC) that 4 other people had already commented and so my comment made no sense! lol

Yeah I must say coming from the iPhone the facebook app on win mob is terrible! Ok I know its pretty sad saying that but tbh before having my iPhone I didn't use facebook much but because the facebook app on the iPhone was such a pleasure to use I really got in to it... I'm having to use facebook on opera now.
Dump the FB app, it's utterly useless.
Use http://touch.facebook.com instead. Better, faster, and works awesome in Opera.
Thats what I have been using shame there isnt a facebook app that works though..

Been using the touch.facebook.com for a few days now and you guys are right so much better then the app for WM... but just wondering if anyone else is having an issue with it being slow to update news feeds? Seems to be way behind at times!
ive had that problemw ith the touch site, but the main diffeerence for me between the iPhone app, is the lack of facebook chat, thats a nice feature!
Thanks for the heads-up regarding touch.facebook - didn't know about that! The winmo facebook ap is not very fully featured at all, which is a shame, because it wouldn't be a difficult application to write. That said, browsing being as good as it is on the HD2, i usually just visit the full facebook site. With pinch zooming i find it a breeze to navigate. Touch is probably a more sensible option though i guess. Just replaced my facebook ap quicklink with the facebook touch bookmark

Yeah, at the bottom is a link to "Mobile Site" which is m.facebook.com I think - that has the news feed issue fixed, but isn't as finger-friendly (it's not bad tho).
Neither of them allow you to view or tag photos very well IMO, a decent FB WinMo app would be very welcome.

misc. things about hd2

hey everyone, nice to meet you all, been lurkin' these forums since i got my t-mobile dash on its release day.
but anyways i've got a few questions and comments
what is the most popular and most highly supported custom rom? would it be Kumars? - what roms are the fastest?
-i have bsb tweaks and c00kie on my phone. my phone will 'wake' on a new text and if i try to unlock it before i get the notification (but after it waking) it'll freeze up. its pretty exasperating
-is it my fault? i'm almost always constantly on my phone and it seems that every phone i ever own tends to lag or lock up from time to time, i wonder if im.. 'doing too much' with it.. but i wouldn't expect such a powerful phone as this..

I think energyrom might be the most popular. I would suggest searching youtube for HD2 ROM review, or something like that. You'll see a couple reviews showing each and you'll be able to decide for yourself.

No, it's not your fault, it happens to the best of us. BTW, the lighter ROMs like energy seem to do less of that than the stock. I think it's kind of like buying a PC with a bunch of bloatware, a lean OS always runs faster and more stable.
On the same vain, I have a Droid, a 3gs and the HD2, and I must say the HD2 lags and freezes the most, followed by the Droid and the the Iphone is the most stable, even after jail-breaking and modifying it extensively. I attribute this to the tight integration of the OS and hardware, unlike Android and WiMo which have different OS and Hardware manufacturers, and thus leads to bloat and incompatibilities.

Wait, what? I just noticed this, lol. I hope you meant T-Mobile HD2, otherwise you're in the wrong forum and I waisted my time replying.
NRG's roms are really good too. Come pre-loaded with a lot of apps. Great on the eyes (eye candy ) and very fast. Are you running the stock rom right now (that you are experiencing the lockups with) ?

Anyone know how to make opera load mobile versions of sites like youtube? Every time I check the setting to load mobile sites, it loads a funky version of the site. It will not actually load the mobile site as I can see it's not in the URL. I can type in the URL "www.m.youtube.com" but it never does it by default. Is there a setting to set in the opera config to fix this? My main reason for fixing is I would love to have youtube links sent to me in email open the youtube app but it requres the mobile version of youtube to load in opera.

Google map on legend, missing pinch to zoom?

Hi, anyone getting pinch to zoom to work in google map 4.1.1 on their legend?
pinch zooming is not supported as far as I know
Sent from my HTC Legend using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
right..it's not supported...by now...
it works well on milestone for sure. I used to use a milestone.
my legend cant pinch to zoom in original google map too
But I have install maps4.1.0.4126-brut6.apk, it can be pinch to zoom
being objective
we all love our new gadgets, but we should be objective and considering the idea that this phone is crap... (by now...)
- no pinch to zoom in gmaps
- ring volume problems
- missing apps in the market
- low battery life (in italy with tim, at least)
- facebook apk not working properly (with many contacts)
- mail client with a few problems (attached files "disappear" if sent with apple mail app)
I hope htc fixes all these buggy annoing problems...
HTC Desire has newer firmware, so thatswhy it supports pinch to zoom, etc.
Hoping HTC releases the the 2.1 update 1 firmware soon.
I encountered the pinch to zoom problem (very minor think, i can live with is), and the app market problem, but we know the cause for both.
Another thing I'd like to have on my legend is the rotation of the map with the compass in google maps, do you think is possible?

i question whether they will update it with an updated 2.1 or if they will just wait for 2.2 and update straight to froyo cause apparently its not far off
No info
I sent a mail to HTC about the possibility of the update, but they can't say anything about future updates...
You can try searching the forum for the google map brut r6 it enables pinch zoom. I installed out and out works without any issues.

any update?
Hi all,
Am on the verge of pulling the trigger on a Legend purchase...
Several reviews have hinted there is no pinch to zoom on Google Maps as have the posts in this thread ; fair enough - though is this feature arriving soon?
Or is it something that is simply not going to happen?
Any other users had much luck with ' brut r6 ' ? Does it differ in any way from the original Google Maps?
Any insight appreciated
actually i dont know how many people have noticed that the legend is missing alot of things from other 2.1 phones ie live wallpapers, pinch zooming in map, google earth
makes me wounder if they have done something to the legend to make it less appealing cause there really is no reason why the legend cant to live wallpapers cause the hero does it.
who knows hopefully we will get some stuff back when 2.2 is released
Pinch zooming in Google Maps is pretty desirable [no pun intended], anyone have that working or know whether the Legend will get it ?
Surely there is nothing hardware wise stopping it...
WHY people don't read other replies ?! And why don't you (all) read the forum?!?!?
There's ABSOLUTELY no probs at all having Multitouch (or pinch-to-zoom) in google maps! Go to the link below, download the apk, and get pinch-to-zoom , Google nav and so on!

And... yes...IT ALWAYS WORKS
Thanks, didn't really dive into the 'HTC Dream: G1 > G1 Android Development' subforum as I wouldn't have thought it's applicable to the Legend, if it were, it would've though it'd appear in the Legend subforum...?
Maybe that's just me though, I'm new to Android and therefore may have missed an obvious link between the two.
Thanks for the reply anyway, and for the link. And no, its not difficult to download an app and install it. Though I was asking ahead of a prospective purchase...

Welcome, mate... It's only because I've heard (read) a lot of ppl saying: "Uh...No pinch-to-zoom on GoogleMaps? No google navigator? No APP2SD? No root? No multi-touch?! Then it doesn't worth buying this phone...it sucks!" or similar things... but ALL is possible on Android, thanks to its open-source philosophy, or its huge possibilities for developers, and the GREAT support offered by communities like XDA-dev

They never do :-(
Once I mailed them about when they would release a Sense-enabled firmware for the Magic, and the reply was something like yours.
Later the same day the update was released... so it seems to be the standard canned response, they apparently just don't care to answer that kind of questions.
