I don't have a problem with the way the facebook looks but I would like to update the app though? Does anyone know if I can just update this like any other apps?

If you're trying to update FB for Android, you'd have to uninstall it first from your phone with Titanium Backup or something similar. You'd lose how it looks though with the update.
EDIT: That is if you're trying to update FB and it is giving you the cannot install message, you'd need to uninstall the original first.
Thanks. I was able to remove uninstall it with Titanium Backup but when I tried installing the facebook app from market it said that it was incompatible. Do I need to install it a different way? Sorry I'm a noob this is like my second custom ROM that I have tried.

After uninstalling, try a reboot of your phone, and then re-installing from the Market.
Thanks a lot. Worked liked a charm.
There are some facebook, gmail, etc. mods in the Themes section and created by Fernando Sor (if not mistaken he did a lot of work, excellent work with bored on IncRom 1.6). Several different screens including transparent. Gingerbread & Froyo versions
I also like IncRom 1.6. Using it with chads kernel (12/23 for sense). Works like a charm

so Facebook updated their Android app. When i try to update, installation was unsuccessful.
Having had to deal with this before....i backup'd w/ TB, uninstalled, restarted, and trying to update again. Same issue (installation was unsuccessful). Now, TB won't let me restore my backup for some reason
Has anyone else experienced this yet or know how to fix it??
Worst case, could someone upload the 1.4 .apk for me?
Thanks guys.

Some ROMs will not allow the update...for instance I'm running Ultimate Droid and launcher pro fails for done reason.

I had to uninstall w/ TB and Reboot. Clear cache/data from market (restart) in order to install.
Then had to fix permissions with rom manager in order to run the app.
Seems like quite a hassle...wonder if anyone else is going through troubles

Market told me there was an update available, I went in and did the manual update and it d/l and installed with no problem. See device info below. We finally get to catch up with the iPhone zombies with "Places"....cant say that I missed it too much.
I'm running Uncommon Sense and I can't update to FB 1.4.0 either. It just says installation unsuccessful. If anyone finds a solution please post.

after it fails in the market, go to astro sdcard/download and instal from there. Thats what i do with all the fail installs. Always works.
Ugh I'm on uncommon sense to, no fix yet guys?
If your facebook apk is in the system/app directory, you may need to manually delete the apk (use Root Explorer), reboot, then try installing Facebook from the market.
(This worked for me with Uncommon Sense)

I loaded CM 7.0.2.1 Supersonic & A LOT of apps are missing like USAA, Groupon, Amazon, Etc. How do I fix this? What would cause this? I'm new to flashing so I'm stumped at this point.
I have tried the "Fix" file, i have tried downloading apps through diff. markets, i have tried a diff market.apk, and i have tried clearing my cache and wiping my phone. please help.
Sorry, don't know the answer, but this is the proper place to post questions for future reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=652
or in the thread of the ROM you are having an issue with.
Don't know the answer either, just wanted to say cheers to jstalford for not being a jerk. Hopefully others can learn that when redirecting people to the appropriate forums you can do so without being rude.

I thanked you instead of clicking reply... LOL
anyway, i dont remember if CM 7 has fastboot... if so, disable it. should be under app/development settings.
I play with aosp/GB sometimes, and I've noticed some of the apps I use aren't in market, and wont even install thru TB. I just chalked it up to GB incompatibility.
But I'm no expert.

You'll run into that from time to time, some devs havent updated the app for gd compatiblity yet.
That is a feature that google made. It detects what android version you have and what phone. it then filters out incompatible or blocked(e.g. A thunderbolt only app in market) apps. Its their own way to promise you that any app in the market(which arent filtered out) will run on your device.
CM7.0.2.1, all apps listed by OP appearing in market. User error. Most likely didn't format /system or something.
Screenshots attached as examples. Flashed ROM, Gapps, a custom Font, and Tiamat Kernel. Booted up, used T-Mobile theme chooser to change to one of the other included themes. That's it for the modifications.

I'm on Fresh 4 (GB) and I'm getting the same results you are, but I'm not getting (for example) MLB At Bat.
Can you search for MLB At Bat and see if it shows up?

Same here. CM 7.0.2.1.3.1415926535897932384626433832795 (or something like that)

Since you can't sort apps with the stock sense launcher, I'm wondering for a list of which apps are absolute safe to uninstall (Stocks, More info, Twitter, Setup etc.).
This is cause I'm of sick of having to scroll through a long list of useless things to find what I want.
I tried uninstalling these apps but ran into FC issues.
I tried searching the forum for something similar and found nothing, does noone else find this anoying?
Thanks all!

the truth is that i do not manage to understand for what you look...
If that i know that we can´t classify the app of the launcher by files thing that is soo troublesome ...
Then.. Do you want a list of the apk that come for default in an official ruu?
Which of these apps can I safely remove because I don't want them and are only cluttering my app drawer.
The issue is that some of them are apperently needed and cause "Force Close" issue when removed.
Thanks

there are things.. like peep.apk that you can´t uninstall from the aplications admin. of android because are original apk´s of official ruu,, but you can try to uninstall using "rom-cleaner"
another think you can´t uninstall only one think of google maps.apk.. or uninstall completly or you are going to have problems later if you uninstall one by one...
there´s no problem if you uninstall youtube.apk, LOL

I've got root, so I can uninstall everything directly from phone.
I'm looking for something more like a list of things possible to uninstall without issues (for example uninstalling all this causes the market to not work properly and i've heard that uninstalling twitter causes a FC issue).
Yes, I know that I can uninstall Youtube , I just tried to clarify what I want

Have you installed them like new, or have you restored them? That could be a problem with going from Gingerbread to ICS. Also there is a GPS patch in the development thread. Why don't you give that a go? You might need to reinstall them from scratch again. If that doesn't work with Swype, then they probably haven't updated it to handle 4.0.3. I have the same ROM too. Everything is great, but the gallery and camera fc's and charging is slow as hell and the battery drains quickly.
tried that
i tried to download from the website but it needs you to uninstall swype first. and i can't uninstall cause it's preinstalled. Because im new to this i don't know how or if you can uninstall a preinstalled app.

You would have to use titanium backup or root explorer to erase a system app

Ohhh that's why. Okay... Go into the Play Store and download Titanium Backup. I think you can do this with the free version. Open it and at the top you should see Overview, Backup/Restore, and Schedules. Hit Backup/Restore and scroll down until you see "swype........" Tap it and hit uninstall. After that, try install your new swype.
AWESOME
AWESOME. Thanks guys you were really healpful. I used the titanium backup (free) and was able to uninstall. Finally able to swipe again
So do you guys have any tips on getting my location to lock when using maps. it's not that it's is slow it just doesnt lock me in at all.

I personally prefer Root Uninstaller with my rooted phones to get rid of system apps and bloatware!
Hello all,
I remember something about google automatically backing up all my apps when I first set up my phone and/or market access. I have also heard of apps being automatically reinstalled after members on this board have flashed new roms and wiped all data. I have never had this happen to me but it would be super convenient.
Is there anything I can do to activate that feature?
Thanks.

Yep install a aosp ROM .... cm9 aokp codename miui etc
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
if you are not running a cyn mod or AKOP, I suggest you use Titanium Backup to rip the apks into an archive where you can reinstall them if anything happens.
Thanks both but I installed cm9 and that didn't happen. Any ideas?
I've been a little confused on the exact procedure myself, and have felt super lucky when it just...works. lol
I do know this: if your on a gingerbread rom or even ics, once you let the market update to Google play after a wipe/flash, log in to your Gmail, press menu>my apps> slide over one pane and you will see every app you've ever downloaded under that Gmail. I found apps from like 2009 lmfao
