[Q] What app are you using for Facebook? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
The facebook app doesn't really works nice in the N10, photos are huge in the friends feed.
I have added a shortcut to the web version of facebook and it works much better. However sending messages is painful and of course doesn't have real android notifications.
So what are you using to access Facebook in the Nexus 10? Have you guys tried friendcaster?
Thanks.

I've been using friendcaster and it's been ok. It uses the screen real estate pretty well just some odd bugs and a few features missing. It works well enough though and there's some customization which is nice. Download the free version to try out, the ads are on the bottom but since the screen is so big you don't even notice it. If you don't like it..... Un install!
Edit: ignore the title I put the verification in the wrong box hahah

Thanks, Friendcaster is doing a good job so far.

Hi,
I just use the browser whereever possible. Keyt concern is the VERY relaxed attitide many app devs, especially facebook etc, have towards your personal info (address book
etc).
Exception is google, in for a penny in for a pound with them lol.
Cheers

You could have the facebook app installed for the notifications, but use the browser to actively use facebook. Much better experience, just some minor weird glitches when viewing photos. It's what I do.

I'm using Friendcaster and think it's pretty good - better than the official Facebook app, anyhow...

You will have missing posts using third party apps due to security settings individual users can configure lately I have been using a browser for fb more and more often. Tired of the ginormous photos in landscape mode with the app. If you hold device in portrait it's better at least.

Plume is great for twitter, and the widget is awesome
some of my must have apps ...

dolphin browser HD
Skyfire browser (if you watch any non-flash videos)--hulu still doesnt work though
dropbox
logmein (not cheap so only get it if you're gonna use it alot)
plex
google music
seekdroid (just in case you leave it somewhere) -- I'm pretty sure it doesn't work on the stock rom, but definitely works with in paris.
hide it pro (if there's ever any prying eyes)
wolfram alpha (if your doing any math related work its epic)
tablet keyboard
there's other area specific apps that would be useful but you probably wouldn't use em

blade buddy (extended version of spare parts+) -- same developer.
voltage control (its a more advanced version of setcpu basically)
nitrality
battery calibration (if you have battery troubles ever)
root explorer (one of the best)
sentinel 3 (if you like tower defense games its the best)

The tablet and phone versions have now been consolidated into one "TweetCaster" app (same goes with FriendCaster). Unless you're a power twitter user who needs several separate lists I recommend TweetCaster over the other twitter clients. To me it is by far the most aesthetically pleasing.
I'll also recommend FriendCaster for Facebook. I used FriendMe for a while but I've found I prefer the former.
I won't repeat what others have said here, but I prefer File Manager HD for file explorer duties.
Other apps I use regularly are Reddita for Reddit browsing, DGT-GTD for my ToDo list (toodledo sync. It's just a stretched out phone version, but it still looks great on the tab), and IMDb looks excellent on Honeycomb.

AOSP-like browser

Hi i want to ask you if you know good browser with flash support. I want it to be as much as similiar to aosp browser. And yes i know i can root and install it, but on nexus device i dont want to ( i know hoe to root, i have galaxy ace and i'm running cm10 jellybean). I found naked browser, but the design is very poor. Thanks in advance
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Never tried AOSP, but if you can't "duplicate" it with ssLauncher, there's probably nothing close.
edit: LOL, sorry got "Launcher" and "Browser" confused... Boat works for me.
Eh i'm looking for an app not a launcher. Btw. I don't think that this launcher will magically convert chrome into AOSP browser
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You might try the "naked browser" from the playstore.It works well on my N7 and does not need root.Very smooth and has a full screen mode that crome lacks.I have used asop since I am rooted but prefer the naked browser best.It is set up to load flash on demand and t sppeds up loading pages that have a bunch of flash content you don't want to see anyway.:laugh:

Do you mind sharing exactly what aspect(s) of Naked Browser's design that you found to be poor?
Yes i tried it. It's very smooth and fast, and i really like the fullscreen mode, but the icon could be better (it's not a deal breaker) and the icons in the bottom panel (settings,refresh- the upper row) could be a bit bigger. When i open new tab i would like to see my bookmarks with thumbnails. And also when i open the new tab i have to slide down a bit to see domain, weather,film review, because it's covered by open tabs. Anyway it's a good browser, better than google chrome

Thank you for responding. It's OK if Naked Browser is not for you. It's just another choice that I want people to know about.
Let me express my position. I made Naked Browser in response to the privacy violations of most browsers out there. All along I focused on speed, stability, and features rather than user interface. I made the icon in 3 minutes from memory. Some people like it. If they don't it is easily changed in some launchers. In others, if you search for "change icon" in the Google Play Store then apps can change the icon. A few people have been telling me to reduce the height of the bottom menu but you are the first to say that it is too small. The start page does not have thumbnails because it is designed to show as much information as possible in a small space as quickly as possible. The "slide down" on new tab is something that may take getting used to. In the end, I believe that the behavior of the Naked Browser menus is more efficient than any other browser that I've tried. Naked Browser has been out for less than 2 months so things may change.
Anyway, I'm posting this information for anyone that cares. You can find Naked Browser here in the Google Play Store.
Naked Browser is not for profit. Please do not try it if you don't want to.

Sense 5

Hello all... I was trying to find if such topic has been presented before.
What is your expectations for Sense 5 as software and inhancements? For me, I wish they consider the following from my experience in HOX+:
- Gmail in mail application: I like to use Gmail in HTC mail app (imap) instead of Gmail official app. However, there is no star option for a message. Hope HTC is fixing this in Sense 5.
- Although I like HTC notes and HTC tasks apps, I wish they will allow to disable it if I want to use different apps. In HOX+ they prevented disabling them as they are connected to calendar and other messaging system. Also, the evernote merging in HTC note app isn't complete and it misses tags.
- I hope they can now provide an option to choose what info I can sync from Facebook (pics, contacts, ...)
- Movie Editor doesn't have a link in gallery app.
- Flickr merging (I like it of course) isn't complete and miss a lot of features. They either make it complete or allow us to disable it if I want to use different client.
- I like the way of Linkedin are being sync into contacts but it doesn't allow to open Linkedin contact link in the official app as it does in Facebook
- Stocks market by HTC & Yahoo doesn't support all market. So, another app is needed. I hope it's been fixed in Sense 5 or being able to be disabled too.
SenseTV, boomsound, Zoe that's about it. I don't care about anything else on sense 5.
i just dont like the icons of sense5,

I agree they removed the 3Dness of the whole UI which for me is quite weird considering that they are boasting enhanced hardware. Yet they downgrade software. Although a large number of users tend to like it
Honestly as long as the messaging app looks crisp, I'm a happy camper! haha.

Im loving what they did with the UI, it's a million time better but I still don't like the icons. I've never been a big fan of android Icons in general, I'm used to all my icons having the same shape like on iOS. I'm sure ill get used to it, since some icons look nice but there are quite a few that I think are just really bad. Definitely gonna be themeing to get rid of them.

It's all to do with reducing the lag on Sense, making everything flat will mean that everything will be a lot smoother and take less time to load so reduces lag. This is something that I really want as even on Jelly Bean Sense 4+ still lags and stutters at times which on the devices we have it shouldn't happen.
Push mail in the default mail app would be nice too.
It looks way better than the old one. Simple is better :victory:
I like the new icons... Been looking for a sense 5 cm10 for theme the last week.
I wonder if you can view twitter contacts in the 'people' app?
What I like from Sense is the ability to customize the themes (Scenes and Skins options under Personalize settings). But now they removed those options
Wonder if they'll add it back in or is there any apps that have similar functions? Especially since Sense 4+, the Skins also affects the Weather Clock look and feel.
And also, they remove tons of HTC cool widgets.

[Q]

Hey guys
I really dig the Smart Scroll feature. I know it's kind of gimmicky but it's nice to not have to get my fingerprints on the screen for every little thing I do. Do you guys know which apps support this feature?
The only app I've noticed it working with is the default browser, and the default E-Mail.
It would be nice if we could get Smart Scroll support with Chrome and GMail, but I don't find anything wrong with the S4's e-mail/browser though. Are you guys using the Samsung browser and Email system so you can use the smart scroll, or are you just ignoring that feature entirely because of battery life?
Do you guys think there will be more apps coming with this feature being used?
I don't personally use the feature because I feel it's much easier to just scroll by fingers, but some people will sure find it usefull. As for the supporting apps, I guess the limited support is due to the fact that the feature is still new and was just introduced with this phone. By time developers can start implementing it in their apps, but I don't see that happening soon. It will take some time.

Ok thanks. That's pretty much what I thought but I'm pretty new to Android so I wanted to see. I'm still curious if any other apps besides E-mail/Internet use them. I'm surprised Flipboard doesn't. It would be cool if Flipboard was laid out like Windows phone with long news/feed blocks that you could scroll through... Man windows 8 phone w/ eye scroll would be pretty awesome come to think of it.
If your looking to set defaults for applications this may work.

[Request][App]A better Facebook app

Hello everyone. I think we all need a better Facebook app. The original app has an awful user interface and consumes to much ram and battery. Unfortunately unofficial alternatives are not very effective since they can't complete even simple task like editing profile search/accept friends, or writing to someone's timeline.
Anyway Android doesn't have a proper Facebook app now and i want to know if you would like to develop one with all the features of official Facebook app with a Google Plus like ui. At least having most of the features like news, real time notifications, friends, uploading photos, editing profile, chat, Contact sync and things like that. Hope you are interested.
Have you tried KLYPH...?
Is the Facebook app still considered to be a battery killer?
The interface seems not to dissimilar to the actual site.
That said Friendcaster is not a bad alternative in the main.
greenify the app... although I haven't noticed any significant battery drain with it running in the background anymore...
