I was using fbm

I can attest to it being better. Used to hate the clunky piece of junk but now it runs like butter.

what do they mean when they say its "native" i always thought that was just another word for preinstalled app for some reason,

It's written for android. The last app was a wrapper for an html5 website and wasn't actually an app coded for android.

So since its new will it be better on the battery instead of it being a battery killer? Cuz if not ill just rather use the browser for fb instead of an app that's going to kill my battery.

So true. It was html5. And it was an epic failure. Now it's native, and very stable.

Interestingly enough, I did not notice it updated and/or was any different... So either it is not that much of an improvement or maybe I just don't use enough of it's features to see it.

I been using this app a lot, it is way better than it was, but there is a lot they still can improve upon.

New XDA app

Is slowwwwww......anyone else having problems?

I haven't noticed any. I do notice the website is extremely slow to load on my computer especially during peak times. Maybe it is the servers being overloaded more than the app. Maybe it is both.

I purchased the app the other day and it is a little slow now. Its something I can live with, I'm sure they will fix it soon.
for sure, but it seems like it comes in wave. A lot of the time, it's just the way it is before. But every once in a while, like right now, I feel like I'm trying to load it up on 1xrtt coverage lol. And yet I'm on wifi lol

Not that I know of, I don't think its possible. You'll have to delete some stuff to make room. Things like the wallpaper APK's if you don't use. The touchwiz social things, stock widgets etc. There is plenty you can remove that you probably never use.

i kind of have to agree. its pretty much the same as voice commands already except there is a voice that talks back. however, the talking voice only works on occassions for me on top of it FC and/or lagging. and i've tried every install method possible, it just doesnt seem to like my phone. plus i've noticed it drains the heck out of my battery.

It was wise marketing/defensive move by Samsung. Now a sales person can say if you only want an iPhone because of SIRI you can check out the galaxy s3 as it has more extensive voice commands over other Android phones.

It installed fine on the latest AKOP build. I played around with it, I'm kinda Meh about it, its buggy as hell.

Why can't I see pictures in xda premium app!?!

For a while now, ever since I left stock rom, i cant see any pictures people upload on here:/ lol like the screen shots devs post and stuff like that. Once in a while they load up but it's vary rare. Anybody else having this problem!? I'm desperate, i want to see pictures!!! Lol

It's sort of a hold over option from GB, from what I understand. It was there to help performance for older apps, written before GPU acceleration was supported or something along those lines.

[Q] WebOS on the Galaxy S2?

Is it do-able? I know that things like the GNex, and an evo have gotten some of the open source versions of it, so why not us? How hard could it be?

Well, it all comes down to the willingness of a developer if he/she wants to port it or not. If you question the availability of porting webos, then you try porting it then.
Another option would be good, but at this point, why? With ics stable and jb stable around the corner, it really doesnt make sense for a dev to port it. Webos lacks alot compared to android.

The developers always love challenges. They might port it if it is interesting enough. I think the matter is whether we have the good enough developers, who use S2.

I think our developers are good enough to do it its just we don't have a lot of them compared to other phones. The more there are the better the odds are of something like that happening.. We are still better off than other phone models!

I been looking online for a webos launcher or a good theme thats not for cm9. But no luck, also there is a webos theme for gb miui not miuiv4 for some reasons gb miui themes are not compatible with miui v4. sure wish there could be a easy way of converting gb themes work on ics miui rom. Seems like Gb was more popular on themes than ics
I've been doing some looking... it honestly doesn't look so difficult.

MA4 stock is a fast ROM

Post deleted because I have upset the theme crowd but I stand by my premiss.....
This is a GREAT stock entry and worth the time/trouble to flash!

There should not be noticeable performance differences. There are numerous articles, so you google it to find more details. The biggest gain is a start / boot up time. Odex is faster than Deodex.

Your comment doesn't make any sense when you look at the thread title. The observation here is how fast this new build is. My point was that I didn't notice any difference. I know in theory that odex should be faster. In my personal benchmarks it wasnt.
