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.

Is there any way to share the 360 photosphere images outside of Google+ or GMaps? Easy enough to share the panorama of world view... but then these are flat images so nothing special.
/R
How do you even share then into GMaps?

Yes, a few days ago the first Photo Sphere Community starts! You could have a look at h t t p : / / photo.merq.org.
There is also an App for Android in the Google Play Store (search after "photo.merq.org")!
You could view, share and embed the images (with an 3D-viewer).
Try http://sphereshare.net
so im trying to use either of these and it only comes up as a black screen whenever i try to view it. anyone have any idea on the cause of this?
Now you can have it in anywebsite. see this widget. https://developers.google.com/photo-sphere/web/
Sample Example https://google-developers.appspot.com/photo-sphere/web/examples/simple_example

This is basically a facebook app. Quite identical to the spam facebook game apps usually post. If someone has disabled platform apps on their facebook they might not be able to see whatever you post at all.

Rss is your key. Add a rss feeds to your website and make an rss reader for your app.

I know about RSS way...any other way?
I mean does all news app or other apps use RSS feed. Like if you take the example of this Tapatalk app of Xda developers. There are many other similar too.
Thanks

You could get the source code of the website. Every time there is something new, you could post a notification (maybe you could put a hint into it). That would mean that you needed to check it every day/hour.
Tutorial for the source code: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6503574/how-to-get-html-source-code-from-url-in-android
Is there any specific reason not to use RSS? It would be more more quicker than getting source code and reading it. If you have troubles writing xml parser, there are lots of plugins available and you could use one of them.
No specific reason for not using it bro. Just searching for an alternative.
Thanks

I found that iphones have a few apps where they can stitch video & photo in 1 collage or they can stitch more than 1 video in a collage. I saw a few of there collages on instagram and now im wondering what app do we have that can do the same thing. So far I have come up with nothing. Does anyone out there know of such app?
Here is an example http://instagram.com/p/hORN88mwM4/
