Nope lol. I've been google stalking it but can't find it anywhere.

I signed up.. Still waiting. I'm sure once they start sending out links for this it will be on here.

I also was able to sign up before it was closed. No word yet. Hope they're not c*ck blocking on us custom rom users.

I also missed the signups, but I hope I can get my hands on the beta version because the one they have in the market is killing me!

Any update

It's been released...

did u actually get a private beta version sent to you? 1.6 is available in the android market and its practically unchanged

Just the one that's on the Market, I guess 1.6 isn't the beta we are looking for.

Has anyone installed the update? Many comments in Market about problems since updating to this version...

Guess not! I have the update installed, no problems but there's nothing new.

Still loads of bugs,
Cant get into friends with a force close.
Messages broken, they don't sync properly.
Also to rub salt into the wound, the have FULL access to your text messages with no legitimate reason. Poor effort. Might have to find the 1.5.4 apk.

I'll keep my 1.5.1 Works good even with friends. Anything after was a nightmare.

Im using Cyanogen V7.1-RC1 and seems like LauncherPro doesnt sync my Facebook events to LauncherPro Calendar widget or normal Calendar like it used (Theres only option to sync contacts in settings) before.
Not sure if the problem occured with Nightly build 119 which I used before, but Im pretty sure it worked with that, and ofc. with Sense based roms.
Is the problem now with LauncherPro or with Cyanogen? Or maybe even with the Facebook app?

Argh!!! Its all changed!! Suddenly about 15 mins ago it seemed to completely reload and now looks "improved" For the record, I previously force closed and cleared cache / data so this is just weird.
Cons:
Friends still force closes though
Pros:
Filters on friend feed.. Yay, finally get rid of pages of stupid game updates.
Looks and feels smoother. (I'm on Wifi though)

If you are having problems I really suggest running a fix_permissions from RM or from terminal, it solves most of my problems for me. I updated a few days ago but it suddenly changed for me too. The new news feed is pretty nice and I love how I can like comments now. Pages seem to be so-so but better than nothing. Chat actually seems to be working!
I don't use launcherpro but if I'm not mistaken, it uses its own client completely separate from the official facebook app so the new update shouldn't be affecting anything.

Why is TweetCaster Pro not compatible with Dinc2?

Ran into this issue over the weekend. App worked fine on CM7, then I switched to MIUI yesterday and couldn't install it. I looked at the online version of the Android Market, and a dialog box said this app wasn't compatible with the Incredible 2. I'm currently waiting on a response from the developer. Has anyone else had this problem?

I use Tweetcaster Pro just fine. I'm running stock rooted 2.3.3 though

I went back to CM, and now it's visible in the "My Apps" section of the Android Market. Guess it's a MIUI issue. Odd.

I noticed my phone reports to the Market differently when I'm using MIUI. MIUI reports it as Verizon HTC Incredible 2 but if I'm running a different Sense ROM it gets reported as ADR6350. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it, I'm going to lean towards yes.

I used tweetcaster pro in either the first or second official release for the Inc2. 1.7.22 I think it was.

Try restoring it from titanium backup or something. I'm able to install it just fine from Amazon market, don't own it on Android market though.

I restored from titanium and was able to launch the program / log in, though I was getting FC's from other apps so I reverted to my old ROM and never tested.

SMS integration in ICS

Hi Im a haver sms user and I love gosms. Cause here its possible to get an pop up for the incoming sms and directly answer it.
How is the stock sms app integrated in ICS? Is it possible to get an popup and answer the sms as fast as in gosms? I would appreciate If somebody could explain me the sms feature of his nexus galaxy. Cause I couldnt find any information on the web. maybe Im the last guy who texts. Thx

i am afraid the stock SMS app has not changed much from gingerbread. generally just some UI updates.

MIUI's SMS app is wonderful. It has the popups you are talking about. From what I've seen, it is not too different from past Android builds.
Looks like GoSMS is your answer. I've also seen WM7 Notification Add-On, that provides the popups, available for download in the market. I tested it and it worked but I didn't like it.
I'm sure we'll have a MIUI build eventually also (whoo whoo!)

Hm quietly disappointing. I want to have everything in a consistent look. Are you talking about an sms app from miu or a completerom?
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk

Sms popup works flawlessly. Used it for years and is perfect. Uses the standard android layout so fits in with ICS easily. Try it out, I'm 100% sure you'll love it.
Everyone I've told it to can't live without it now
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk

I also used sms pop up. Skipped it as I switched to gosms. But the fact that gosms (more functional) is based on the android gui makes it once again interesting.
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk

Has anyone had any success with themes with gosms? The colors just go insane when i try any theme and i've tried manually adjusting every setting with little luck. The whole app just looks like crap.

[Q] Replacing Sense MMS.APK

Hi all,
My phone is rooted. Not a fan of the Sense 4.0 SMS/MMS app. I know I can download the default ICS 4.0.3 MMS.apk from the market.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms
When I go to install it, it says it will overwrite the existing application. Before I get reckless...
Couple questions:
- Why is there no existing mms.apk in /system/app ? I can't find it. Does HTC call it something different or...?
- How do I backup the current Sense version in case I screw this up and need to restore it?
- Is the Sense one tightly integrated into the rest of Sense? Will it break other apps, widgets...?

So far I got this working.
1. installed stock ICS SMS from market
2. backed up and removed /system/app/Message+CRC_1.apk
3. rebooted phone
Haven't tested MMS nor any sense features that might bomb (I hope not)
I'll update thread if there are any problems and I need to roll this back

Any Update
Hey. Just wondering if you had any update on how this worked? Everything still fine? I want to go to the ICS MMS app, cause the sense one isn't as nice.

I use it daily, the SMS app works perfectly. Love this change.
The HTC SMS widgets that display your messages on your desktop may not work (don't think mine do) but this is easily remedied by just finding other widgets in the market etc. Just don't put the default HTC ones on your desktop.

Won't uninstalling the app just automatically put stock sense app back in there?

No. The stock ICS app does not play nice with the stock Sense app, you can't have them both on the phone at the same time. Its not like when you install GOSMS or something.
I had to actually delete the sense app right off the phone completely for it to work properly. Otherwise I had strange problems such as messages being sent twice.
Since I physically deleted the sense app there is no going back without re-installing the sense APK.

Did you save the stock apk? No joke one of my hesitations is the messaging app. If I can switch to stock ICS for messaging I may be ordering mine yet tonight.

Honestly no why would i? I updated this post to be kind but I'm not building something here, this was for my own use and it works perfectly. I'd that's not what you're looking to hear, find another thread. I won't lose sleep at night.
As for backing up the original sense app, yes I did see step 2 above. I used adb for this just pull the file.
Again this works perfectly If anyone cares to try it. nothin to lose, if you don't like it just put the sense file back and reboot.

I installed both the calendar and the sms app today and they seem to work fine. Haven't tried mms. Haven't uninstalled anything yet, will see if I run into trouble. Thanks for posting readk, been searching for this but didn't find it until now
EDIT: Ran into problems immediately of course where pressing the Messaging app launched the HTC Messages app. Following your instructions for backup and removal seems to have done the trick though. Next step will be to do the same for the calendar

Wow, get out of the basement once in a while and realize how to communicate with humans. I simply really liked the idea of stock ICS messaging on the HOX and since I don't have mine yet I was just asking to see it because I imagine it would look really awesome. Why would you? I guess since you were sharing what you were doing I thought you wouldn't mind. Guess not.

Just wanted to note that trying to send or receive a MMS crashes the app.

No notifications from Facebook Messenger

Even the best of us get problems. Problems we can't solve with our own knowledge.
Basically, running newest Facebook Messenger on my Xperia Arc S. Even though messages come in perfectly, I do not get any notifications about the received message. A tiny 1 appears on the Messenger icon, but that's all (attached screenshot). Chat Heads does not appear, no notification in the status bar (SystemUI) nor any vibration or sound. I have checked all notification settings, everything is turned on and should be working.
The only vibration, that happens at all, is when the Messenger is already open and someone else (than current conversation) sends me a message.
Current phone setup is Gin2JellyBean ROM (Android 2.3.7), version 2.5.2, with GB Lupus v2 kernel and 64 baseband.
I have tried clearing app data, reinstalling Messenger app, reinstalling ROM and kernel, changing baseband, tried also DooMKernel v22. On the internet, I found recommendations to not use more than one Facebook Android app, though it did not fix it either.
Does anyone have any ideas, possible solutions? Or has anyone occurred similar thing?
Just to add, I will not move over to another ROM.

Well, GB is quite old, and the apps keep getting updated so there may be something in GB breaking the notification mechanism. Did you check with someone else on the same ROM if they had the same problem?
You may also want to try with an older version of Facebook messenger and see if it works.

I was expecting people with same ROM to post here, if they have such issue or not.
GB is the only firmware, that currently works out for me, thereby I do not wish to change ROMs. None of the ICS ROMs has satisfied me yet.
Will try out older version of the app.
EDIT: Older version (2.7.2) made no difference, old design, but still same issue with the notifications.

try flashing framework-res from another rom. If problem is still there, include systemUI. I had this one problem before about notifications because frameworkxml doesn't stack with custom systemUI.

Did you freeze google play services? Its the main cause of not getting notifications. Btw i had done that so i didnt get.
Edit: on ics roms also the same stuff. Not get notifications. Maybe the app has some issue.

Hmm, this may be a problem, as framework-res is tightly linked to many parts of the system and changing it may cause issues. I will try it out and see if I can fix it.

I doubt the issue lies there, though will try it out.
EDIT: I must have misread the first time. I never froze that app, as it is vital at my daily usage.

Time to update on this issue. I just installed an ICS ROM, Anzumi 1.3, and the issue is still around. Using stock kernel and stock baseband from .587 firmware (which is 77, if I am not mistaken) and newest Messenger.
Gonna do a last try with stock firmware some time soon...
EDIT: Attached picture of logcat when I receive a Facebook message. Starting with the first line of 12-15 20:37:22:801
EDIT again: Using older version (2.7.2-release) now works, will try it out for more time.

So its app issue or maybe we are missing some lib files for them to work. We have to check it on stock ics. If it works there then we can confirm the rom developers removed some libs for space or whatsoever reason
Edit: I'm using kitkat and i face same issue here

Since the app failed to work on GB and ICS both (and now as well KitKat), then I am feeling the issue lies within the application.

Hello
An update on this. I updated messenger app from playstore. I have playservices freezed and also no native facebook app installed. Now messenger works well. Even notification arrives properly and even those chat pop ups work.
So I can conclude this update solves that issue.
Cheers,
Vatsal

Sweet, thanks for the info
