You should use:
push

nice list!
messages can't be sent outside of the actual facebook website they use to allow it, but it got abused hardcore.
place addition support via graph is in the work, meaning currently no one outside of the facebook website can add places. hopefully support comes soon!
the rest if the list is doable.
what about:
-multi photo upload
-multi account support
-assignable home tiles
these are the things I'm going to work on for the winmo version next.
once I've got chat working I'll start on android

thank you for the compliment! I love learning, so doing these projects is a great way for me to develope my programming skills

hi
multi-account support would be awesome!
what do you mean with assignable home tiles?
How do you think about widgets? Here some ideas:
1x1 Widget Count of Notifications on click -> Notifications
1x1 Widget Count Chatpartners online on click -> Chat
1x1 Widget Contact xy is online?
4x1 Widget Add new Status from Widget
4x2 Widget Scroll across Newest Post, Add new Status
3x1 Widget Add Places (if aviable for non-fb dev's)
if you like more: PM

add change profile pic n change user info

Id be interested, could you also make a scrollable widget like in launcher pro.
That would be sweet

In the current app you cannot respond to a "poke".
Maybe you can add that as well?

unfortunately you can't poke outside of the website either you can only view who has poked you. don't ask me why

if you made it so you can view more then the first 30 or so parts of a threaded message (the current version of official app doesnt) i would pay for it.

the first 30 or so replies? wow, I've never seen a thread on facebook that big. I don't even know how I would test it do you have an example of a public thread with that many replies?

calander widget

I need the small calendar widget to show the events of today instead of tomorrow. Right now all it does is show the events of tommorow which is pretty annoying. I dont have space on my homescreen to use the bigger sized one. Is there a way around this? or should I install a calander app from playstore?
thanks guys

[REF] Definitive 'apps that work with multi-screen' list

So it seems that only certain apps work with multi-screen and it is not just samsung apps.
Here I plan (with your help) to create a difinitive list of all apps that will work.
I have already noticed that some apps allow themselves to be splitscreened even when they do not appear in that list e.g. official twitter app.
Some apps you will find when you press the edit button, you can then drag them to the main list, or remove ones you do not use.
Samsung Apps
- ChatON
- Email
- Gallery
- Internet
- Messaging
- S-Note
- Video Player
Google Apps
- Chrome
- Gmail
- Maps
- Talk
- Youtube
Third Party Apps
- Facebook
- Official Twitter app
- Polaris (Viewer)
Note: you will need to be using Samsung stock keyboard to benefit from typing when on multi-screen mode, otherwise your keyboard will cover the entire bottom screen.
I just installed the official Twitter app and it is now in the multiscreen menu tab

weird its not showing up for me, did you login to the app? maybe its because I have not logged in?
What about S-planner and Calculator app? I would think these would be two of the most useful to use multi-screen, or at least floating over the screen like the galaxy tabs.

a '*' denotes that the app works in split screen but cannot be selected from the list, it must be activated first then another added as the second screen, therefore two apps with the '*' will not be able to be paired together.

Thanks for the info. Bewildering why they would leave out calculator and S-planner from split screen. Two apps that would seem to benefit most from it.
Maybe Samsung will add more apps at future firmware updates.

Would love to use Skype with Multi-window. A video call while being able to use the phone.Actually, imagine Skype with video pop up. That would be fairly handy.
Looking forward to the future of the Note 2.
Ohh, This splitscreen rocks

Press and hold the back button for 2-3 seconds. If nothing happens then your firmware doesn't support multiview.

[L5-II E450] Small but anoyng issue with new FB Layout

Hello friends, as you know facebook is rolling a new Layout for they'r official APP.
I hear it is server side, so as long you have Android 4.x, you can roll back older instalation, uninstall and download the older FB APP APK, you can do all that and the new Layout still will be present.
The Layout is fine exept for one small but big issue.
At the buttons on top (Feed, Notifications, Friends Request) it dont display the Messages button.
I dont use FB chat, it is aways off and now exept for the push notifications i cant see if i have new messages on the APP, i need to check then via the options menu.
That is very anoyng for my use and a very deal breaker.
I tryed 3rd party APPs but none seens nice too.
Is there a way (as it seen to be server side) to roll back for the older layout, or add the stupid messages button??
Thanks for all, here what i mean:
It is not an issue for this device... We are not developers, so maybe you could ask for an explanation in the comments of the Facebook app in Google play..

[IDEA] Extending DOT VIEW Notifications For Other Apps

We all know that HTC launched the Dot View Case along with the HTC One M8 which impressed a quiet a lot of us. But one of the drawbacks it had was the lack of support for apps other than the system apps.
Also recently Shen posted a tweet showing some progress in the right direction which definitely brought light to our hopes.
So I came across this idea which will help speed this up and could be ready in a few weeks.
My idea is to make use of an app called Dynamic Notifications which is available in the Play Store. For those who don't know, it like the Active Notification found on the Moto X.
So what we can do is replace the icons in the app with the ones similar to the Dot View icons. I have already ripped apart the Dot View App to get my hands on the font used which I have attached below. So using this font we can simple create icons like the one I have attached.
I know it would be inappropriate to modify someone else's work but we could take the permission of the developer and if possible the developer of the app could himself take this project up.
I already tried this but I am kind of novice in app modding and keep getting installation errors.
The icon which I make has white font with transparent background so you might not see the thumbnail but click on it to view it.

did you sign the app? that could explain the installation errors
Hi, Of interest if you install NOLed notifications app from market - which should show flashing squares on screen in stead of LED - designed for phones with no LED, but cool with this case as you should see different colours for each app - only odd side effect - it flashes time and weather when you have notifications - not its own squares - would be good if someone could code something without this side affect.

I used APK Manager to decompile and then recompile the .apk file. Do you know of a better way to do the same ?

Hey,
I've been trying to do the same thing. I also got stuck at resigning the app.
I'm trying to replace HTC voice assist with Google now.
The logcats implied that I needes to be signed with HTCs certificates. Does that make sense?
Any suggestions?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Finally I was able to over come the signing problem and could get the app to install. The default size of the images used in the app was 216 X 216 which according to me was very small and the icon displayed is as shown in attachment 1.
After which i increased the size to 400 X 400 but sadly the image is now being chopped off from the sides.
This according to me is because of the image size set in the app which I don't know how to edit.
If it would be very kind if someone could help / guide me with this one.
I have also attached the .apk file if anyone is interested in looking into it

It seems that you can only replace the resources with this but now edit the actual code. Is that true or did I miss something?

Yes, its the same app.
Initially I thought the process will be as easy as replacing the images but now when I see, I need to edit the code to resize the images for which I will have to use the traditional methods like APK Manager.
But editing the code is beyond the scope of my knowledge and so will be looking forward to others.
I'm comfortable editing the code, I'm just lost as to how I repackage and replace the old apk.
Maybe if you find anything on that you can post it here and we can get to work on it together...

Awesome work my friend !
Also thank you for creating the 3 Finger Screen Lock Mod :laugh:
But wouldn't it be possible to achieve this without the need to root ? For example by modifying the Dot View App ?
