remove the old one and reinstall from the market.
Will it send you notifications like the IPHONE APP? Thats the one feature I wish it had. Also why still not chat?
I don't chat often but its nice to have an all in one app. Fbchat is okay.

yep, fresh check fresh updater. rebooting after applying update now.

Yeah, it's not a whole lot better. But, it works faster, better and is cleaner and easier to use. Now it uses the touch.facebook.com site, too, which is a slight improvment over the mobile.facebook.com site.

new look of facebook apk
heres the apk
whoever cant get it to download it.

Definitely an improvement, but still missing push updates and clicking on a notification still takes me to Facebook touch on the web instead of keeping me in the app. Still fail.

Is it just me, or is this new Facebook (on EVO running stock Froyo OTA) causing pretty serious wake-lock issues? If I look at battery history in Spare Parts it shows that it has a partial wake-lock for almost the entire time that my phone has been booted, which is causing the phone to sleep very little...draining the battery very fast. I do have the automatic update disabled, but have the widget on a homescreen. Can anyone else corroborate this?

Installed just fine on CM6 for me. It fixes the CM6 native sync issue, so no more hacked Facebook.apk needed! Oh, and it still isn't anywhere near as nice as the iPhone version. All of the notifications open in the browser, and you don't have as many options in the main menu. Even the BlackBerry version is better.

It is nice, I'm happy, the old FB was trash. Still a long way to go to catch the iPhone but its a good start.

Everyone seems to report okay with it...but with drod2169 doing so much with 2.2.1 already I'm gonna stick with that. Also I am testing his new beta and ROM bootstraps automatically on every boot and more coolness to come so I will stick with rubiX focused for now

Is non-oem battery behavior any different???
With the FROYO update, the Droid X no longer recognized aftermarket batteries for whatever reason. Could someone who has flashed this update check and see if aftermarket batteries are recognized with it, or do we still get the '?' in the battery notification area?
Thanks

Not sure if I could live without LCD density at this point. I am gonna wait and watch developments.

so what all changes are in this? and what makes it worth jumping the ball?

If you want a changelog you will have to contact motorola. Otherwise it is supposedly just a faster build and random reboot issues fixed.

ok. well im guessing rubix would work as its same build set up? im tempted to put the leak in as it fixes some of the problems im having but not sure about not having an $BF full to revert back to, just incase i somehow f up on something. i can't afford to brick my only phone lol.

Will this work if I have Fission 2.1 installed? Or would it just delete my custom tom and bring me to a stock 2.2.1?

Okay I would say that this is probably the official OTA update that everyone is awaiting... The kernel is updated which is going to be the greatest advantage with this release...
Media Fix
Im pretty sure that the "sorry this player does not support..." has been fixed in this update... I use my DX as my primary mp3 player atleast 8 times a day and so that old bug would force me to restart 1 or 2 times daily... been running the new release for over 24 hours and I've yet to get the error (using it heavily and testing the music often aswell...)
Updated System Apps
The only thing ive noticed with these so far is a new Data usage widget built in to blur (now that we dont need unlimited data plans...)
Also the dialer now displays the most recent dialed or missed call just above the number keys...
Battery manager Fix
So the battery manager force close seems to have been fixed... I think this was an issue with the app and not the kernel... the reason i say this is because ive been checking to see that the battery stats non stop (maybe 100 times now) in different scenarios (fresh boot, fresh unplug, etc...) and i have only gotten one force close... I was running the 2.2 NexThemed Systems apk at this point... I imediately reinstalled the 2.2.1 setting apk and without needing to restart my phone the battery stats were fixed.
This issue then would not need u to flash the new release to fix for now... you can probably temporarily fix it on the old 2.2 kernel just by running the 2.2.1 app... (maybe people running the 2.2.1 fission can confirm this...
These are the big things i have noticed so far... I can not confirm the HDMI kernel fix though because i have not yet tested it and even when I was running the old kernel I seldom used the feature and When i did it never gave me any issues...
Hope this helps and I'd be very interested to hear about anything else people have noticed!

Does that update zip also do any kernal or radio updates?

I was very comfortable w/D1 but dX is a different ball game and I definitely cannot afford to Brick My new DX, All this "SBF" talk got me scurred...how do I verify what kind of bootloader i have (First verify that your bootloader is @ 30.04)? BTW I am new to DX and not new to android. Can someone also point me in the right direction to educate myself more w/SBF. I have to admit, I just don't know much (if anything) about it nor the purpose..

Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

Working great on my N1... thanks for posting

I noticed that some apps vanish from My Apps in the new Market. I had about 4 apps to update in the old Market, two manual because of changed permissions. I left it as-is and installed the new Market. In the new Market, only the two apps without changed permissions appeared as updates in My Apps. The other two apps had vanished completely from the My Apps list. If I search for them manually they will still show up and I can update them though.

You may want to try clearing the data of the market app

Install the new market using the apk from android central.
I like a nice little improvement to the notification: it says "updating" instead of "installing" now
Yet, it is not performing fast enough... I feel laggy when using it. And the new UI looks like WP7 (though I personally like this new design )
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

so it's not just me thinking that it's really laggy ... maybe it's not the final version?
or maybe we now need a Dual-Core Phone to use the new Market

It runs fine for me on the N1 most of the time. The only lag I've noticed is when it's fetching the icons for the apps on the Staff Picks screen or similar. When the icons have been downloaded it runs smoothly. I like the Honeycomb/ICS-like design.

Downloaded Market from http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07/12/download-the-new-android-market-v3-0-26-with-support-for-movies-and-books/ I am not sure when it will go live in my country so Downloaded from there..I love it but Kinda fell Lag.I think it is new so might take few days/weeks to fix it over it is SO COOL on SGS2 but I have a Problem I can't see Movies Option I think Movies option is not Available in my country yet

Yeah, movie section doesnt appear on my market using MIUI Rom.
Anybody else having issues with Facebook since switching markets? Logic says it can't effect of but since I updated the market, Facebook won't load. Happened immediately after installing the market.

don't be so quick to yell at google for blocking movies if you're rooted
it's pretty clear the movie studios wouldn't give them the licenses for the movies unless they blocked rooted devices
i mean, i'm not agreeing with the studios. cuz are they REALLY worried people are gonna ****ing steal ****ty low res videos off their cellphone? there's SO MANY other(better) ways to pirate these movies. but whatever

Google NAV fix, plus a ?

In this evo thread someone also noticed that turning sound off on nav fixes the fc's (also mentioned in an epic thread).

I don't use the stock robot. I use the British lady from SVOX.

Ok, but since all of my ROMs, and anderson's Simply AOSP v4 exclude tts and some language files, I'm wondering if its the problem. I don't even think NAV uses the missing files, but maybe they need to be in place.

It uses the stock tts so you may need to copy that back in. Push to system/app. Pull it out of the deodexed stock rom.

Thanks man, but I guess I'm really looking for some insight, just want to know if not having tts installed could cause the wide spread google NAV FC problem. Anyone?

Technically, yes since it is missing the necessary support file for the voice. I am surprised that it doesn't have an error message about "tts not installed" or something though. And is it wide spread? This is the first I am hearing about it..unlike the 6 threads on su binaries. I am guessing you are correct and it is ROM specific. Flash the full stock rom deodex and see if that fixes it for you.

Just making sure I understand what fc you're referring to specifically; are you talking about the 'invisible' fc that happens associated with gps where it basically stops working in Google Nav? Or is this a different one? The reason I ask is, if its the one I'm thinking of, it happens in every pre-official stock Gingerbread ROM release I've tried, but doesn't on EC05, and if this is the same thing you're referencing, I'd be pretty confident in saying that a *lack* of TTS doesn't cause it anyway. If its something different you're referencing then...my bad

Well that's what I'm sorta trying to narrow down, I always used TeleNAV on GB. But in Simply AOSP v4 I do see an FC about 1min into NAV, but once muted it dosnt happen. I wonder if someone has/could try the mute trick on GB to see if that fixes "the hidden FC".

I am on Hurricane and use SVOX British Lady and don't get any FC or vibration, EH17 ROM and modem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Interesting....I wasn't even aware of SVOX until this thread. I don't know when I'll have cause to go somewhere long enough to try it (I live about 3 miles from where I work), but I downloaded SVOX plus the 'Victoria' UK voice you mentioned and will try it (on EG22 here) next time I'm going anywhere of more significant length. If switching off of Pico fixes this issue I'll be thrilled, I haven't been able to consistently rely on Google Nav through Maps since EC05.

Yeah, I never used Google Nav because I hated Mrs. Roboto but with the British chick it is more tolerable.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

hmm
i used to turn off the volume and the ff would go away in the past i thought everyone would do that. but the g maps is buggy on the epic. sometimes the volume would cut out on its own and freeze. or freeze for some other reasons. sorry i have used so many different roms and i used to use the gps daily when i rode the bike alot. but i havent used it in awhile for the epic. i moved to the nexus

Edit::: Thanks Kenny, it looks like it was tts.

What rom makes netflix work?

I installed ECO3 from imnuts and it works great, but if i install the updated 2.2.2 ECO7 Netflix will not work, am i doing something wrong. Everything else works

I've noticed that as well. I think it has something to do with the api, but I'm not sure. It worked on EC07 for a while, and the app update broke it. If you can get one that is a couple of versions older, it will work fine. I just haven't bothered to find one, since watching streaming media on a phone is kind of silly for me, when I have my computer on hand at all times.

There are a few apps on my 2.2.2 that dont work. Such as banking app, home buying app Zillow. They force close. Are you saying your netflix force closes?

No. You get an android toast message that says "we are unable to start netdlix.Please restart" and error code 136006. I haven't bilothered to call netdlix, or logcat it, since I don't watch netdlix on this thing. Since its not just me with this issue, ill play with it this week. Colby, what Ron are you on? I'm on t1231's ec07 deodexed. Personally, since it used to work on this Rom, I think an app update it broke it.

I'm pretty sure an app update did break it. It worked fine for me on EC07 and then Netflix added support for Cyanogenmod in a recent update and that's when it stopped for working for me

I love ya man... and no, I don't want your bud light (flashback, anyone?)
EDIT: i don't love you anymore. The app worked fine, for about 3 seconds. After that, Netflix forced me to update before it would even let me sign in... and back to square one. Oh well. I didn't wanna watch anything on that tiny screen anyway. But, I'll call netflix tomorrow with the error code and see what they say. Maybe their dev team can fix it.

Ok, called netflix. That wasn't exercise in futility. She suggested I call samsung to get an update to 2.3.... Yeah.
Muddling through logcat, now. If I can decipher it, I'll see what I find. I'll also post it so that others can muddle through and see if they catch something. Anyone else having issues, I'd suggest posting one as well. Maybe we can find a common thread. It would make knowing where to hack the app a lot easier.

2 things I noticed.
1. on line 134 (if you are using notepad++) it says
I/WindowManager( 2466): Device ID doesn't match window display, ignored!
2. Both times I tried to start the app, with logcat going, it seemed to trigger the ticker and weatherbug to spool up and go through their paces (location update, set wallpaper, etc.) it also seemed to cycle the bat stats.... The battery stats may be a normal process, since it's starting a high usage app. I'm not sure.
