New Facebook app from WM 6.5

found this in another thread, for X1 users this works great and gives a slightly better experience than the panel

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?

Ocarina "Flute" on HD2 ?

I will buy this phone when an Ocarina App is avialable with multi tuch.
like the Iphone it should be simalar apps for the HD2,
Either someone start making some apps Now or create a program that can run all the iphone apps on HD2. That way everyone will be happy
Please... Can someone create an app like Ocarina.

Thank you so much in advance.

It's not so easy. Leo does not have real multi touch. WM does not support any API for that. Leo only has single touch with pinch zoom, and that's it.

Nothing like spending $800-900 for a phone just to play with a crappy flute app.
...are you sure you're in the right forum? Apple is that way ------>

Leo DOES have multi-touch.
It's nothing to do with the phone. As you state yourself "WM does not support any API for that." That is correct. Once that issue is resolved, there will be true multi-touch apps.

Like you, I'm waiting for this kind of applications for HD2, too. Can't wait to load someting similar (or exactly the same!) to iPhone's Bebot Robot Synth. Check out Jordan Rudess' videos at Youtube (keyboard player of Dream Theater).

It is different then G-sensor or compass .. because those are used in HTC applications and you can use HTC's DLL to work with that. No HTC application supports real multitouch at the moment. Until some does, I'm rather skeptical about such API.

If the hardware can do it, then the software can do it. It simply means that no-one has developed something yet.
Since the HD2 is the hardware, to state that the HD2 is not true multi-touch is incorrect. That's all I'm saying.

I don't see what this debate about not having a multitouch api and needing to use HTC DLLs is about. The ability to build multitouch applications for Leo came quite a while ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591698
Two-fingered drawing... means that the device can plot two points at once and not just the distance between them. And there's the demo source in the link.

That's not full multi-touch. It's dual-touch. FULL multi-touch can detect more than 2 presses at the same time. That's what we've been discussing.

No multitouch
Do you know wtf you are taliking about?
Do you even have a Leo?

There have always been crappy apps for WM, but I avoid them, as, I avoided iphone.
If iphone could multitask, you would be in real trouble running a dozen crappy apps. You would have to be constanly doing apple software conflict resolution.

Wish list for Modified ROMs

I know it's Been out for less than a day, and there's not much improvement to be made with performance buts it's been rooted and we all like a wish list lol,
so what mods do we all whant off the bat with the Nexus One ??
My list :-
MultiTouch browser (and gallery if possible)
Obex file transfer
busybox
Apps2SD
.flac Playback
Any others ??

Google is supposedly going to put out Apps2SD themselves... so if I were a dev, I wouldn't even bother. Plus there's loads of internal (faster) storage on this phone anyway. Hopefully Loccy will be able to add MT to the browser like he did for the G1 and MT3G.

Multi-touch keyboard?

They said they are going to do Apps2SD, but the question is: How long will it take them to complete that and release it to the waiting public?
Personally, I can care either way. I don't think there is a chance that I will come close to filling up 512MB of apps anytime soon, but still would be nice to have that option.

I thins later rather than sooner . . . simply as they stated there are huge copyright laws they have to comply with and putting an app onto a readable SD card is basically copying the program . . . maybe they should use a unique device id so that that app will only work on that phone ? (ovb whenever u downloaded it it would reset this so u still have your apps on a new phone)
But anyway its simple for a moder to add app2sd even if its just until google offers the same.
But like in privious posts u will have to have A LOT of apps to fill the 512mb of flash :-D

I wish for EspressoUI to be ported over..
Think this will be done with the dump of HTC Bravo..

I want a grid photo contact widget in the custom ROM, like what is in HTC's Sense UI. I looked all over for a widget like that one, but couldn't find any. Wonder if there is a way to get that particular widget out out of a Sense UI rom without getting the rest of Sense UI?

Multi-touch keyboard is a must. Please I'm begging for this to come to android.

I'm just hoping HTC IME is compatible with the Nexus. I hate the Google VK.

Yes the HTC IME is compatible, the only downside is that you don't get the voice icon on the keyboard

K I S S
Just a multitouch. Remeber, we are not using MT3G or G1. Those of you that used Rogers Magic and Telus Hero know what I am talking about. We don't need Apps2SD. It slows down even with the fastest uSD cards.

I would like to see Windows Mobile running on it.

Sense UI aka Hero

SenseUI FTW

Adobe Flash Lite 10.1

Any word on when this will come to the N1?
The Desire has it today and in my book is the largest plus for the Desire when comparing it to the N1. I could care less about Sense UI, actually.
Edit: Actually the Desire doesn't have it, so I am just foaming at the mouth, it seems. Still, it would be a nice update.

Not the solution I am looking for. As it is in alpha that's not a good day to day ROM, even according to the developer. It introduces bugs I am not willing to live with (blue tooth, camera, etc) and like I said, I really don't want the Sense UI. Maybe once the ROM is fully functional and past the alpha stage I'll give it a try if I can disable Sense and still get what I want.
I think the solution for the N1 involves a kernel update and is not something Adobe can just "release". The Nexus One was supposed to be getting updates faster than anyone else (since they are coming from the Android source itself - Google) but in this case, that's clearly not so.
So my original question remains - does anyone know anything about when the N1 will get an update including Adobe Flash Lite?

June/July..

I think here, the release is dependent more so on adobe, and not on google, seeing as they are the developers.

It doesn't appear that way, since HTC has released it on the Desire. It looks like Google is dragging it's feet on an N1 update. Are you suggesting that HTC has some exclusive agreement with Adobe? That would be a first.

Does the Desire even have Flash 10.1? I thought it had HTC's flash lite 4.0, and we were all still waiting for 10.1? Please correct me if I am wrong, but running the shipping version of Desire on my N1, and I am not experiencing flash 10.1... I am experiencing flash lite 4.0, though.

Correct.
The OP's "Adobe Flash Lite 10.1" makes no sense.
There is Flash Lite 4
And Flash 10.1
No combination of the two.

I am going on what was posted by Paulobrien regarding the rom - that it is alpha, and that there are issues with Bluetooth and camera implentation.

Known Issues
Bluetooth does not work reliably
FM Radio finds stations but does not produce any sound
Footprints camera view is rotated 90 degrees
SMS over 160 characters are not sending successfully - urgently investigating!

If the Desire doesn't have Flash 10.1, then what functionality am I gaining in exchange for reliable bluetooth and a properly functioning camera?
If these items have been corrected, then perhaps post #2 of the Desire rom threads need to be updated.

"Facebook focused update" announcement & 2 new XPERIA devices

http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/
2 articles posted this evening, some quite major announcements.
Well I'm suprised nobody's posted this yet...
-Facebook Lives Inside Xperia™
-Next Generation Xperia™ minis

Sorry, but this news is nothing interesting.
I dont care about facebook integration. They need to focus to fix the problems with the ARC instead of doing this.
And the release of some budget phones is also not interesting since this is the ARC place

seriously! FB integration! I dont give a rats arse..LOL
all that junk will only increase battery use and will be added into the list of bloatware to be removed!!

Well.. I'm quite interested.. I use FB a fair bit so I'll be impressed if this is a good integration..... and I'm sure that the update won't just be for this.. they'll also include the 2.3.3 update and numerous bug fixes too.

Well I was the first one to mention yesterday that there was a Software Upgrade coming out ... but didn't know what was the Upgrade updating.
New ARCs are expected Within a Week or so.
Waiting .....
Anyways .. Thanks a lot for the Info dear.

Gah! This sort of inane crap (who f*!&ing cares if it takes one less click to 'like' something on facebook?) is what makes it take longer to get updates out for the phone (see HTC sense). All of this deep integration means that every time there's a new version of android they have to reintegrate all of this garbage from scratch instead of just plonking the app on top.
There's already a facebook app. It works. We can use it if we want. Or use a browser. Leave it at that. Why does it have to have its tentacles into every part of the phone? IT'S JUST A WEBSITE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
Jesus christ sony, you were heading in the right direction, don't balls it up now.

Is that magic update ready to download?
Sent from my Xperia Arc

@daveybaby - I very much doubt that it will be deep integration.. it will be built into the SE launcher, like TS, and all the other widgets they've created.. that all now floats (mostly) above the OS layer so this FB integration won't affect that.

personallly i don't care of this kind of add. First they should keep android up to date and bugless than after, if they have time to lose adding theses features

I am sure that all bugs will be fixed...the FB talk is a cover up...news cant read 'SE to fix bugs in the next update'. it sounds better for the company when you are releasing a new version with something new, even though it may not be anything many of us care about...and like most of the stock stuff, users who dont like the new FB stuff will not have to compulsorily use it..

Native Google facebook integration has been removed from 2.3.3 and is not back in 2.3.4 either . I'm guessing it would need to be through Timescape and contact integration if they did improve it.
