Facebook App idea...

over the past 4 months there has been some awesome mod/hacks to the vibrant/android device, like android runing on the iphone, angry birds coming from the iphone, ninja fruit, the same, lag fix, gps fix, new Roms etc etc... I was wondering, Facebook App for the iphoneis is the best fb app now, how hard would it be to port this app into the android OS.
I guess this questions is more for all the Vibrant/android's developers.
i know there are two totally different OS, but i think we need a better facebook app for the android.
What do you guys think?

isn't the newest fb app pretty much the same as the iphone one? i mean it's by fb so i imagine they want consitency between platforms...

From what I have heard, the facebook app for android is **** compared to the iphone.

i use facebook touch and works great for me..

The FB app for android is missing some real common features. Like clicking on a notification takes you to the mobile site instead of the app, wtf? Can't tag photos and no Facebook chat.

you say that like it's a bad thing...

Missing the ability to chat. I am OK with the rest. No complains. I am loving it but missing that key element.

the layout pretty much looks the same as the iphone version with the exception of chat and that everything isn't incorporated in the app itself...
I also don't like the little photos at the bottom. They seem to just lag up the app.

The android fb app also doesn't have "favorite people" a feature in the apple version that lets you go straight to that particular persons fb page for ex. Your best friend or girlfriend.

no push notification, no tag photo, no chat, slow, and when you open a notification you been redirect to the browser.

so a question to the Developers here, can this be possible?

Post it.

I think the android face app sucks balls, I have it installed just to see the newests posts. Then use the FB's mobile website to look at pictures because theyload so much faster.

I've used both for iPhone and Android. The iPhones app is far superior. I use Launcher pros friends widget (awesome) for a quick look then I have to bounce around the FB app and the web to get anything done. This stinks. The iPhone app did it all. I am never going back to Apple, but they got a jump on the good apps and app writers. I have seen a steady improvement since app devs have started to realize that there are great Android Phones now to write too...

I agree, the FB app I had on my iPhone over a year ago completely destroys the current FB app for Android, its really disappointing, I hate not being able to tag people in pictures I upload from my phone and being redirected to the browser for most of the functions. Lame

You have 24 hours to get a refund if you don't want it anymore

For those who actually want to get on fb chat w/android, check out eBuddy. It's not perfect app, but it works well enough.
Doesn't change the fact that in order to do anything semi-complicated (even looking at friends of friends), it's basically impossible to do it with the fb client.

what did u do today with your g2 ?

I used my g2 to:
map
track
stream music
play playlists
navigate from google maps, WHILE STREAMING MUSIC, AT DIFFERENT VOLUME LEVELS
take pictures
720p videos
share all of the above, along with editing the gps track
and it never missed a beat
navigation over music is a very very nice touch. noise cancelling headphones, navigation, pandora, and a external cig charger on a dualsport is a goood goood thing !
(someone poke microsoft, I think balmers fallen asleep @ the wheel again)

Used it as an integral part of locating and destroying Osama Bin Laden, and saving the world for another day....(for security reasons I can't be too specific)....
Just another day with my G2...

phone calls
txt msg
read the news
and flashed the new pershoot kernel

That kind of commentary is best left for arfcom or some other jingoistic corner of the internet.
My G2 woke me up today. I checked my email and have sent several dozen texts, fielded one 20 minute phone call, and put some nice new live wallpapers on for when I'm trying to force the last few bits of juice out in a hurry for battery calibration. Yesterday I used it for nav.

I snuck behind a robber in my house and killed him with my sturdy G2.

Made it even more awesome because I added the new "Mixer Theme" to it.

Everything! Because my g2 can. And I love it so much

Google Music Beta an Epic

I've got my music beta invite today, but it appears that the Google music app on the Epic force closes now that I have accepted the invite and uploaded a few songs.
Anyone else have this going on?
I'm on the EE03 leak if it matters.

Yeah pretty sure it's been confirmed that it doesn't work on ee03

I don't know about the service or how either part runs on the Epic, but the app, from the Market, runs nicely on an Indulge. So if it runs on the Indulge... it'll run, the app at least, on an Epic.

Still waiting on my invite. @k0nane - Like the new signature.

I got a beta invite randomly but cant use it on my nook =(

I got an invite 8 days ago & just barely started uploading my music yesterday night. I've got the app for my Epic running SRF 1.1.1 & it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it might have something to do with the phone's modem? I'm not sure, but I'm only seeing the music on my SD. I checked my settings in the app & it is connected to my account, but it won't display the uploaded music at all. Damn it!

Just leave the app on your phone. Keep trying every couple of hours. It took my phone a while to sync up to my Music account. But once it does, it's pretty quick to update with newly added songs.

Yup. Once it's synced with your account, it'll work fairly well. Im on EE03 and I use google music all the time. especially at the gym with bluetooth headphones. The UI sucks though. And It could use a decent widget...

Google Music works great for me!
Only thing is, I have about 1800 songs and since this is only a beta, I assume it won't last very long.
Kinda sucks in my case, since deleting the songs for space and streaming them for a short period of time wouldn't benefit me because I'd have to add them back later anyway when the beta is done. =\

No Ogg support.
No use from me.

Has anyone thought of switching the stock music players with the google music player? i feel it would make the more aosp roms seem more authentic.

I got my invite and it's pretty neat. It's taking forever to upload my songs though, only because I have so much.
A word of warning, it does not work on rooted phones. You'll know it's not working for you when you can't access the "Settings" menu.
I went to stock and the music streaming works surprisingly well.

but why!!!!! i want!

Yea I got a invite but haven't had a chance to use it because of that.

Mine too. Got my invite the other day. Takes FOREVER to upload songs - and you can only upload from your PC, not the phone. It duplicated the tunes I already had copied over, so that's not too cool. Works pretty well other than that.

EDIT: nvm, works fine for me on midNIGHT rom v5.3! Had to uninstall and reinstall and then I was able to view "settings."

Got an invite last week. Aside from the agonizingly long amount of time it takes to upload my music library, it works awesomely. Also, I am rooted (running SRF 1.1.1).

works great for me; i'm rooted on the Swiss Cheese. I wish the app didn't have such a big footprint.

Works fine on mine rooted as well. I love it. It did take like two days to upload like 2500 songs, but then I got like 200 free random songs for joining which was awesome. I'm on the Anonymous ROM v6 on EE03 and it works great. Why would a google "beta" not work on a rooted device. Then everyone at the developer conference would be out of luck I guess. Haha

rooted and working fine. this is the best thing ever, mostly just because i can access my library from any pc! i <3 google!

I received my invite today (applied using a proxy). I've installed the PC software but can't get gge app to download. The link in the music player takes me to the market but the install button doesn't do anything. Does anyone know where I can get the apk?

No, but what's it about?

I have some as well if anyone wants/needs em.
Google Music is just a way of storing all of your music collection in the cloud, and your able to stream it from your mobile, or any other pc

I have Google music but dont like it too much. If anyone needs an invite just pm me your email.
But if you would like an alternative I would STRONGLY recommend using AudioGalaxy. Its free to use and you get unlimited streaming. I only have about 25 gigs of music but I can access all of it from audio galaxy for free on my phone or any computer. I have had it for about 5 months now and LOVE it. I never get any lag even on 1x.
The only thing that SOME people might not like (I dont mind) is your home computer has to be on and connected to the internet all the time.

As another alternative, Amazon also has a free music cloud storage service and the first 5 GB are free. They even have an android app to access it.
