I went to add a Facebook account, and it just takes me to the Facebook app login. Nothing shows up in accounts and sync.

I use syncmypics personally.
That's what I had to resort to. I thought everyone was mentioning that Android 2.1+ had native Facebook sync.
Not to my knowledge.
Um, yes acutally.
EVO's have a Facebook app that is SUPPOSED to sync contacts. But as of late the FB servers have not been syncing anything and it isn't just the rooted devices.
A friend of mine is running a 2.2 rom (NON cm6) off of another android board and he installed this Facebook: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734739 and he said it works.... It's worth a try if you haven't already.

+1. I'm using CM6 & after trying to get the stock Facebook app working ( just to check it ) & having it fail, i removed it, installed this one & Sync is working fine.
I unistalled facebook and reinstalled from the link and it did not Work.

flashed oxygen rom last night and although its fast there is a distinct lack of features compared to 2.2 sense stock
no google maps or navigation, no youtube and a load of other things
what gives?
They're removed as you can download them yourself from the Market so don't need to be included in the ROM. Simple really
It is meant to be clean, all the stuff you mention you can download from the market. If you can't download it form the market it's probably a sense feature.
And opening a new thread for this makes no sense
can google navigation be downloaded off the market?
with the voice instructions when using gps
It's part of Google Maps, as you can see here:

hmmm i might reflash oxygen this weekend then
only played with it for an hour last night
does anyone know how to do the app cube on oxygen
seen it on youtube when the app drawer was open the user could spin a 3d cube with the apps on each face
how do you do that on oxygen?
Pretty sure it's a different launcher, Oxygen uses Zeam. If you've got a video I'll check it out
ADW Launcher has a 3D cube interface and LauncherPro can enable a 3d effect app drawer as well.

cheers
are both those options free? or a paid app on market?
ADW comes in free and paid for versions, with more functions in the paid one
Flashed oxygen too. Syched contacts from gmail, facebook and skype, but they are not linked and I can't find how to link them???

Same problem I have with the rom. its super fast but my contacts are used a lot ( it is a phone right) and not having my contacts sync properly is kind of a deal breaker for me.... That and the whole video thing with the gingerbread series of builds...
When editing a contact, press menu and you will have the option to JOIN contacts

I know about that feature but what I'm talking about is the contacts not syncing properly at all with either twitter or, mostly, facebook contacts.

I found that, but it's pain to join hundreds contacts knowing that I had done it before and it should link most of them automatically.
Does all 2.3 roms have this problem?
Contact sync (I assume Facebook pic sync, birthday calendars, events, etc) are part of the stock sense.
You can replace all of them using apps from the market (free and paid ones...depending on what you want)
E.g:
For facebook pic sync you can use SyncMyPic
For birthdays Ebobirthday
Just google how to include the birthday calendar in your google calendar (pretty cool feature of google calendar that I didnt know was there until I played with this)
As a launcher...I use launcherPro (IMHO, the best one on the market after trying pretty much everything out there). Using the paid version to get a pretty cool (better than the sense one) People widget. It also have a "FriendStream" like widget if that is what you want.
Pretty sure Oxygen will be changing the default laucher as Zeam seems to be not longer maintained (which is a shame...it was pretty good)
PS: sorry, I cant post URL until XDA allows me to
The "Cubed" launcher can be found in the app store if you search "Steven Lin"
As an FYI that is the GingerBread [2.3] launcher. its pretty cool

It'll do them automatically if you have the same name saved on your phone as it appears on Facebook. If not, you'll have to manually join them. No way of getting around it
update FACEBOOK 1.9.. sooooo damn smooth!! update people
I got fed up waiting on the Facebook app to be good and finally bought friendcaster pro. The interface, speed, and options are leaps and bounds better. And push notifications with pop ups that actually work better than the official app IMHO. Another one to keep an eye on is fast Facebook which is still in beta but very promising.

App got quite the overhaul it seems, despite the sparse changelog.
First thing I tried though was contact sync and it still tried to sync all my contacts instead of existing ones, so I guess that's still broken.
I am so pissed that Facebook is shoving crap down my throat.
I don't want a Messenger and Camera app installed with Facebook.
Tempted to uninstall it now

Seriously...
It's bad enough that I have two camera apps (Fx Camera and Instagram) now you give me another one? Stop with these redundancies and make your app more cohesive and streamlined FB.
I'm still sticking with the mobile site.
Facebook is like a virus. They called their new shortcuts 'Camera' (like Google) and 'Messenger' (like Google). What's next? Calendar and People?

They can't be disabled either. Unreal.
The most confusing thing has to be the messenger. Do they want us to use the dedicated messenger app or the one in the FB app because now there is a shortcut for both in the app drawer
Facebook need to get slapped. All there apps sucks on android. Going to get my hands on apk of facebook . Then rip that **** right out of it... Hey mark. Hope Ur reading this..

It is seriously smooth and improved. Not a fan of the "camera" app, but I already had their Messenger app installed so this just replaces it.

Yeah they want you to use the new one I'm assuming. Although it just opens the FB app and moves to that tab. If you close it then open the FB app from its main icon, you just get taken to the messenger tab. Might as well just use the app only and hit the tab manually. At least its not super slow anymore so it'll be easy.
Honestly they can instantly remedy this by giving us settings options to show/hide the Camera and Messenger app shortcuts.
Can anyone explain how I can just install a facebook apk that doesn't include the shortcut icons?
If not, im removing facebook from the phone and using the web version instead.
far out I wish facebook wasn't used by so many people because I hate it.

I deleted mine and couldn't be happier, I'm a decently social person, but I just find it a waste of time, but that is just me.
As for the a unified app, that doesn't have those shortcuts, I think I might be able to edit the apk, I'll give it a try.
Its so stupid to have two messenger icons... plus a extra camera button... is this why FB bought instagram? Just to have their own camera shortcut?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
since instagram released, i have been using fb less and less.
So Facebook loads up quicker now? I've noticed after using facebook for couple of days, it'll load slower. Tried it on two gnex, same result.

Let me know how you go
I just uninstalled the app, and will use the mobile site from now on.
Is facebook also having the age-old wake-lock issue? Back when I installed it (Literally 2 months ago) I always had wake-lock issues under BetterBatteryStates called something "katana" even with manual syncing. Probably the reason why I hate the app so much.
Still doesn't load my news feed. Stupid app. Back to friendcaster!

The interface was different for a second (messenger icon on top-right, able to post a status update without navigating to a screen outside of the News Feed), but then when I went to post a status update it FC'd and reverted to the old layout.
What?

Same for me as well. Weird.
I know the Facebook apk that has best notifications is the 1.6.4. But does anyone have a previous version that has working notifications but faster loading fb? I'm always on edge so I got curious. 1.6.4 works great but on edge is also a pain.
I use the browser version in opera mini (Fastest fb can ever get) but I don't get notified about my notifications so I need the app :/

The updated version uses HQ images. Which logically take WAY longer to download. The notifications are awesome but the whole app consumes A LOT of ram. 15MB+. More than my launcher.
If I have an older version with working notifications and just lighter over all, it'd be really awesome.

My recommendation is to use Opera. Its way faster. Honestly the fb app just pisses me off. I get a notif and when i click on it..it takes ages to load.

If you want a fast lightweight app which is easy on mobile data then get Tinfoil for Facebook. It's an optimised private version of the mobile Facebook site (No cookies in the browser). Although it doesnt support notifications, the dev has publicly stated that he is working hard on it. The more people we get to use this app, the more incentive it is for the dev to build the app to support notifications
Recently Facebook Home has just came out and I've been searching for it for our Galaxy W, unfortunately, it's not available for our phone. It's because they block our device, allowing only S3 or some popular phones to get the update only. Some people were also facing country restrictions issues, our even version incompatible.
So I've found a post by Modaco, and these are the ways you can get it working on our phone, or maybe other device:
Uninstall all you facebook apps, and download these 3 files, install it and you're done!
Main app:
http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=com.facebook.katana.modaco.apk
Facebook Home Launcher:
http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=com.facebook.orca.modaco.apk
Facebook Messenger with chat heads;
http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=com.facebook.home.modaco.apk
All files above are patched, so you can't update it from play store, unless the official app is available for our device

I've attached the screencaps on my Galaxy W
Notice: The app could be laggy, this is because Facebook has not make it stable yet and it's one of the reason they don't allow us to install it on Playstore

I think it's not missing, is just that our screen is too small to fit those text in, so that's another reasonfacebook home came out on big screens only

I think you should reinstall it, it's a little buggy because it's still the first version
I heard Facebook home will take place on play store for every devices.
