Guys i am hoping the wonderful devs/mods/members of xda can help me.
i have created a group on facebook to try and get the site to listen to our pleas.
The android OS is now number 2 in market share behind Symbian and yet we have possibly the most appalling app ever.
you cant use the new Places feature, you cant chat, you cant even tag photos! (something you have been able to do since facebook started)
this to me just doesnt seem right. we deserve a decent app. i know that a lot of the devs on here could make a better app but why should they? the Fruit based phone that shall not be named has had a good app from the beggining and has the new Places added to it straight away.
so i am asking that anyone from the site who loves facebook and android and wants to see them paired correctly please come and join us at:
http://bit.ly/andface
Update: as of the 3rd of november the facebook app has been updated to include the places and groups. great. but it has still not focused on the basics.
Update: as of the 14th december they have added chat!! WHOO HOO!!! and push notification for chat. this is fantastic. a real step in the right direction. however i would like to see the choice of push for other things like comments and tags. Oh and still NO PHOTO TAGGING!!!
Photo tagging has been a part of facebook almost from the beggining. It is the feature that everyone uses and its exclusion from the android app is the most appalling oversight. if you take a picture of your friends when you are out and then upload it to facebook you want to be able to tag them in it. whats the point otherwise?

i too have joined this page. thanks for your help.
stericson (the man involved in the latitude stress test and many apps as RT this on twitter for me as well.
joined and voted as well on both areas.
Personally I stopped using any of the facebook apps since they seem so poor in function. Been using Bloo 1.5 since its release. Hopefully facebook and the great team of devs here can come up with something more positive in functionality.
Joined also ...good luck ...I hope it does get better
Shameless BUMP!
IMHO ... this entire app should be rethought ...
It appeared they were going for the same interface the "official twitter" app uses ... but it's a #fail implementation.
I vote for complete redesign ... that's just me though.
Joined, I would like it if I click on a notification it opens in the app not the damn web page.

I think this is the biggest complaint. It should be a self contained app. The next big problem is chat our lack there of, and picture tagging our lack there of.

Im running the OMFGB Rom that I downloaded through
Rom manager, but I don't know what the real name of the
Rom is and can't find a thread on it in the forums.
Can anyone point me to the roms original thread so I can
Keep up with it. I really like the rom..
OMFGB is the name of the ROM.
It was removed from this site because of issues with the developer doing naughty things (I don't know very many details on it).
In other words, I don't think you'll find much support on it- but worth a try I suppose.
you can find more info for it on the developers new site, google R2doesInc if you want to find it.
Everything those devs do is on this site:

I love OMFGB, but I've recently switched to CM7. You jut can't beat the battery life on it.

I'm neural in the whole episode. Just pointing out that when you post like this you actually make the whole dramatic incident more intriguing to those that are unaware (like me)
a simple cliffs would be much more helpful
He released his rom with wares in it... and was banned shortly after.
Devs you think are perfectly fine will do something that displeases the general public here and will disappear shortly after. From then on all you'll hear are cryptic comments about said dev, which as you said, only piques curiosity.
Not too much unlike a mob movie.
I think the whole things kinda silly. I used to like one developer named IncredibleDoes but one day he vanished and all I've read is how "taboo" and unforgivable his actions were. I actually have no idea what happened to him.
This is a place where users become attached to devs. We like their creations, heck some even donate. Still people will disregard this completely in saying "oh no not this again" when someone is genuinely curious.
Also, I think Smokeey was being sarcastic, ridiculing the very thing I am criticizing here.

He also took myns Rom from the evo, from a beta port by incubus I was told and themed it over to call it his own
At first he gave credit but then he slowly deleted it in his posts, oh and this is where the warez was from too
He did then what he's doing now, finding fixes from other peoples roms and puts them in his Rom
Flame me all u want, I don't trust him or jdk, or even incdoes after what he did
Sent from my Incredible using XDA Premium App
I'm not flaming anybody. In fact that sounds like a terrible thing to do and he probably deserves the animosity displayed here. I'm just saying this community cultivates an environment where people will invest emotionally in a developer. So people shouldn't lash out when someone's curious as to why a once respected person has suddenly disappeared. It would help to have a sticky or something regarding developer "departures".

good analogy.
except for BlackDroid, he's the dev that just won't disappear. Not too much unlike the Loch Ness Monster
xda should ****list his site as spam. Stupid little teenagers using numbers as letters thinking its cool.

It means he put others work into his and said it was his and he also put paid market items into his rom.
I just find it so funny that the people that defend him the most all ended up as moderators on his site. I'm honestly tired of the advertising.

Well he sounds like a douche haha
I can see why they removed it now.
Samsung not only sent me a new phone, they sent me the Galaxy S 4G.... I no longer have a working Vibrant. I will leave my guides up and try to check them periodically.
If I am able to assist ANYONE, OR if my guides need to be updated, please let me know.
This is my 4th Android device, and I have to say the Vibrant had the best of everything. I am very grateful to you all and hope to help down the road!
ALSO, YOU ALL LIKELY KNOW THAT XDA USER OKA1 SENT ME HIS HD2 AS A LOANER... ITS AMAZING, AND NOW FOR SELL. PLEASE SHARE THIS LISTING VIA SOCIAL OUTLETS. CASEY DESERVES IT... A TRUE ASSET TO THIS COMMUNITY!!!

And all of that was a result of THIS community. I meant it, I consider myself lucky to have been a part of it. The pasture is not always greener... I can already tell I am going to miss the OG Vibrant - the 4G lost 15GB of internal memory.... that is absurd. I do not use a FFC, but the download speeds are about double... so I wont complain too much.
Thank you all for the kind words. I meant it, let me know if I can help.
Also, the Vibrant 4G guides suck - think I have some work to do
Your loss to the vibrant community is as big as a dev leaving. Thanks for all your help to me. You and your guides helped me so much. I don't think there is anyone here that tried to help and be as positive about it as you. Congratulations on the new phone. God bless bro!!
sad to see ya go s15274n, i remember it was your noob guide that got my vibrant rooted to begin with, and the rest was history, i know you'll help guide that section to its potential like you helped this one.
Although I have not personally interacted with you, have seen lot of helpful articles and guides from you. Makes me sad some of the most vocal guys and active devs are leaving lately. I guess it was just a matter of time. Vibrant being my first smart phone and still so much in love with, the feeling is kinda weird. I keep myself up-to-date with all the latest in the world of mobile phones and nothing has made me think of upgrading from Vibrant so far (except the GS II international). Wish you the best with Vibrant 4G. Stop by once a while if you have important android news to share, okay?
Thanks a lot for your help. Greetings
A sad day indeed. Thanks for all that you did for us

SO EXCITING. Support for almost all CM7 devices should mean our shifty is getting it!
TBH I think everyone already knows that the Cyanogenmod team is doing what they always do. So nothing new about this. Most people are just too lazy to follow the members on twitter or keep up with their tweets. It's nothing to get excited about yet. Who knows how long it is going to take them to get us a flashable update anyways. Could be this month, could be 4 months down the road, we just don't know. The point is don't get your hopes up and expect anything soon.

You know there are those of us who feel that we have worked very hard to build a great country for those of you who would slap us in the face with that logo you fly in your avatar. So carefeul who you point the lazy finger at ! Because it's my choice not to do what you do does not make me lazy! You are like some in your generation you paint with a broad brush. Have a great day ! :thumbdown:
Without them(developers) this place would not be called *Insert You Device Forum Name Here* but something else, e.g Mobile Phone & Tablet User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

You guys have lost me. I am not a girl but I do have 2 daughters. And besides what does this reference of "why is your name not green" have to do with me making a thread about a eBay seller selling refurbsihed xperia plays? I don't get the connection and don't know if you guys are just trying to be immature on my expense, meaning are you two attempting to make a joke of me? If so then I do not appreciate it, I merely saw the deal and thought I would share so those who may be interested could look into it. If I am wrong and this is not an attempt to make fun of me then clarify the reference in regards to my name not being in green.

Hmmm, I think the first poster was asking why you haven't been awarded a "Recognized Contributor", title (their usernames appears green in a PC browser... Like TLRtheory). Because you're always telling the community about good deals and new news.
Not sure about the second poster, maybe trying to be funny?
lol second one is just trolling, look at his avatar xD

I looked up TLRtheory on the xda site from my laptop and I do see his name is in green. So perhaps thatbis what they meant. I have not been contacted and offered to have myself listed as a recognized member. I always thought that was for devs who make roms and whatnot. I have next to zero programming. But I do strive to share anything I feel is noteworthy or for those why may be interested in it. I don't do this in hopes of any reward. I do it simply because I feel as I have no way to make a rom or whatever that its my only means of giving back to this community. Because truthfully this community is awesome. I have learned a ton here and have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for all the mods, devs, and basically everyone being a good sport and working together to help one another. I'm just a regular Joe doing what I feel I can do to give back by any means. And sharing any games, apps, news, and deals is what I do. So anyways sorry for that long chatterbox but just want people to understand why I share things like this.

Sorry I wasnt upset by it just didnt understand the reference, and sometimes it can be difficult to understand when someone is making a joke when your reading it an not hearing or seeing their expression. I have had times when people have been mocking me on here, not lately, when I thought they were kidding only to find otherwise. So if I over gunned it a little I apologise but I just didnt understand what the reference was to. Now I do. So if I bothered anyone for my previous posts then I apologise.
Now..... dont know if the ebay seller is still selling these refurbed XP but has anyone purchased one from the link above?
