Facebook Home. What are your thoughts? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I love the 90s. Good times.

Facebook has enough issues trying to get there mobile app working correctly. I can just imagine the issues they will have with this.

Unnecessary pretty much. Knowing Facebook, they'll add ads eventually and secret cookies collecting data from your pics and contacts.

I'm not downloading it. Don't see the point of it. I hope Samsung don't ever make it apart of the system. Do Facebook really need this much access to your life?
I love the 90s. Good times.

unless the only thing you use your phone for is facebook why would you want this? can it even make calls? looks gaudy from the video in the op.

Facebook is wack as hell and just another way for people/the governemnt/etc to stalk the shi* outta you. I deleted mine in the summer of last year. Too much crap for me, I stick with Twitter 99% of the time and once in a while I'll go on Instagram.

It's way too intrusive and I don't just mean in terms of your privacy it just made me think that my phone isn't an android anymore it's a facebook phone, kind of like the myspace phones that came out a while ago. If I feel like going on facebook I'll just stick to clicking my app, I don't want it in my face everytime I unlock my phone

I don't want this anywhere near my phone based on the discussion above and the fact that its highly unnecessary.

It's retarded is what it is. I mean do people really need to see status updates every time they check there phone?? Lol I guess I just don't care about what people are doing 24/7

NG...don't want it!

Facebook should just come up with their own os and stop trying to take over android
I love the 90s. Good times.

I somehow feel like xda-developers forum members aren't really the people that Facebook is targeting with this launcher.
It looks slick enough, although I don't have an FB anymore to really test it with. Will have to see what my girl and some of my friends say about it.

See you!

I don't see using it myself, but there are those people that still live in Facebook (Grandmas, lonely people who's best years were in high school, those people you see in clubs and resturants sitting together but all looking at their phones, or only got a smartphone to access Facebook mobile). For them, its not bad.
This is their dip in the water to see if there is interest in a Facebook backed OS. If enough people want to see all Facebook all the time, I think Facebook one day will make their own OS so they can do Android-like and IOS-like data mining.

No thanks

post up that pic, my co worker had a weird one today too..
Have you tried removing it? If it doesn't let you have you tried to go into Titanium Backup and deleting it from there?
http://partners.handango.com/handango/home.jsp?siteId=2768
That's the website that both the market icon and search take me to. There is no application that's related to these 2 programs that I could find.

You must have installed a crappy app that put those there. Backtrack a little, what were the last apps that you installed?
Thats a tough one. I just did an odin of stock then back to 2.7 calk with ICS theme. I installed about 30 apps not through titanium. I keep a running list and no apps have changed in at least 60 days. Hmm
Your phone has a bug... Factory reset and don't install the "Sexy Time You Have Won a Million Dollars From a Nigerian Price Angry Bards Random APK On The Internet" app this time.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Handango.com is one of the VERY first app markets out there, long before android came about. We're talking palm pc, even before pocketpc which was before even Windows mobile.
It's just YET another marketplace to spend on apps. Think amazon market, Samsung market, etc.
On the other hand, no idea what you installed that got you their market. I HAVE heard of a few apps installing this that came from pirate sites.

Lol +1 and 10 chars
I have a Vibrant and after letting the real Market run updates on a bunch of apps, I ended up with these same two icons.
Download Addons Detector and it will list all the advertising and other junk associated with every app on your phone.
I had that happen on my niece's tablet. It's caused by an app. Just drag and delete the market since its not an actual app but a shortcut to the websites page and then set a new homepage in your browser since the fake market overwrote yours.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Yep this is what I did. I deleted them and cleared my internet cache and so forth. I do find it strange however, because I don't visit any pirate sites at least that I'm aware of. Since delete nothing has come back. Thanks for the tips.

A lot of ads on XDA .

Anyone noticed at times when using the internet 9 on windows that if you try to back out of a page you can't . On XDA.... Not talking about other sites..
When you right click the back button 4 ads seem be already clicked even tho you didn't click any . Seems like some topics or forum's ads are preloaded into the links.

In all seriousness though, I don't use IE9, and never had an issue like yours on Firefox or Chrome
Got the same problem, only on XDA and it started about three weeks ago.

Why should I change my browser of choice for one offending website?
Get rid of the liftdna BS!
I like internet 9 no issues with it just don't like how pages will hang to you can't back out . Because you are kinda forced on clicking ads that you don't wanna click on due to it being embedded into links.
I know sites make money off ads nothin wrong with that . Just wish it wasn't snuck in like that lol. Anyways hope you guys have a good weekend
See alot of that liftdna... Wonder what that is for?
Happy I haven't ran into any talking ads in awhile tho

I think peerblock will block the ads in internet explorer. I use it to torrent more privately.

The ads are way too much. Like most said I dont really mind ads but I hate the ones that block and have a small ass X I cant hit that on my phone browser and I hit search everytime until I get pissed enough to use my PC instead. Is there a way to block them on the phone browser as well? I am trying to download a rom from the site on my phone itself and cant hit the damn x

rightttttttttt.. so you think if someone wants a WebOS phone they should go back to 5 year old hardware..
anyways if webos had a decent market I would switch to a webos rom.. The problem is they don't.. Otherwise the OS is great..
Instead of putting web os
Why don't you guys that want it start by writing the apps for android and just out it on top of modified aosp

it has desktop like multitasking, it is also a gorgeous OS. Since google sniped webOS's designer, google has stepped up their own UI. At this point i would say the advantage is simply the multitasking. Google has pretty much borrowed all the great ideas webOS had like swiping notifications and swiping apps to close. WebOS always had performance issues likely due to bad hardware and the robust multitasking. A phone with 2 gb of ram and a chip like ours should power it nicely though.

The 1 thing iOS has over android is this APP

Why call it a sheep phone? Does it make you feel good to insult people based on the phone they bought? I own an iphone, also an android S3 and a windows 7.5 phone. Am I a sheep, a lagdroid fan and a broken window?
When you get a gf, son, you will realise that they are only phones and that you can judge someone by more than what phone they use: p

[Q] Imperium Agent 2.0.0 is coming but need you to pick a launcher

So I'm still working on Imperium Agent v2.0 which will be a vast improvement over v1.1. Here's what I need from everybody. I need you to pick one of the two launchers below. DO NOT suggest or vote on any other launcher unless you know of one that is less than 30k. Any launcher larger than 30k will be ignored.
LightLaunch 29k

OR
Perfect Home 18k
If you are wondering why such minimal launchers are chosen, I can't tell you. It's a secret!
Oh boy. Not much choice, but I'd say Perfect Launcher
Edit. Make that Light Launch. Guess my mind combined them.

Would have been easier if the Play Store had proper app categories. Eventually went through a massive list of launchers that goes back as far as Cupcake 1.5 and reviewed every one of them just to find these.
I'm not complaining. I'm sure you have your reasons. Just spoiled from all the Launcher options we have anymore.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I guess light launch. I'm sure whatever you pick will rock. Currently no complaints about your latest build.

Could you guy use the poll so I don't have to read all the posts. Thanks!
EDIT:
OK. Who voted "Another 30k or smaller launcher" and didn't provide me any info on launcher the were voting for? I can't consider it if I don't know what it is.
Is there a way to see the poll using the xda app? I just opened this thread in a browser and voted that way but if you hadn't said anything I would not have known.
Also I'm nervous about what's in store based on what I read about these launchers. I know you're into lean and trim ROMs but this seems a little too bare-bones. No widgets? Hmm...
This is not to suggest my confidence in you is faltering in any way.

Not sure about the app and polls. Never tried it.
OK. Let me explain the Imperium Series. Initiative is a barebones, build it yourself ROM. It is designed to be a base for ROM builders and advanced users. Agent is optimized stock. It is targeted towards average users that enjoy the stock experience but want better performance and more freedom without having to unlock their phones.
v2 of Agent will give near unlocked ROM levels of freedom and retain every app that the phone came with without having to unlock the phone. Part of this may require that a "placeholder" launcher be used to make this happen. That is what this poll is for.
Woo Hoo! Can't wait for this one to hit the scene.
Thanks much for your efforts Lokifish Marz
You stock rooted (or wanting to root) guys are gonna be so mad that you did vote.
