Hello Note 2 users!
I bring great news.
Facebook is planning to offer a update that allows the user interface to become "clutter-free" on your Android device. Aka Newsfeed.
It's not officially open to the entire public yet, and you will have to sign up to join the waiting list.
Word has it that there are android users already being switched slowly into the new UI. I imagine that this new feature would look great on our phablet.
https://www.facebook.com/about/newsfeed
You will need to view the page on your desktop or in desktop mode. Scroll to the bottom to join!
Go get em!

I didn't install this, and it's been fantastic. It's everything I've always wanted in a Facebook app. Absolutely no hit in battery performance, too. Great work!!!
I've found that whenever FB does a large change, they lower privacy settings.
When they announce something new I look at it with a great deal of skepticism because I don't want to inadvertently start spamming my friends and family. I also don't want non-friends and family suddenly knowing my shopping habits, where and when I'm not at home, etc.

Just update the facebook app to its current release. I just compared my Facebook app to the website the op provided and It's the same feed style that the OneX is showing.
Mine doesn't do that after the update?

Has anyone else downloaded the new Facebook update? I did and now I have additional icons (camera and messanger) that I can't get rid of. Also it keeps running in the background even after I stop it from running. Any ideas how to stop it from running in background and how to remove extra application icons? Thanks
Just uninstall the newest update. Idk how else to get rid of it but it doesn't bother me at all.

I don't like the new update because install unnecessary thing that I don't need nor use.
My suggestion is that you use the mobile browser version or use Fast Facebook (Beta)
The only bad thing about that is that it doesn't syn your contact pictures by default but you can use another app for that

It's not too bad but if this is going to be a trend for new apps, they should just make them separately and/or offer the option before installation if the user wants the said additional features or not.

It did that even with me on the previous update its running in background because u probably set notifications on so its steady running or u may have the widget up that runs too this update is better then it was thats all i know
Hey everyone. My first post and I'm excited to have changed from CM7 to CM10! Thanks to the devs btw for making this possible. Anywho, I've searched for this already on here an Google to no avail. I've installed the Facebook app on my IC2 and for some reason, it looks like entirely different than the original. Doesn't look the same. I've provided a snapshot of it so hope it helps. And it's not just the layout that's changed but even my cover photo isn't visible. Anyone know what's going on?

Im having that issue too, I just went back to friendcaster
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
mine did that when i came to PA, after a restart or two it gave me the option to update my facebook app and it went back to normal
Yeah unfortunately hasn't given me the option to update... yet. Hopefully it does in the near future...

I thought this was the normal look for mobile? I haven't seen any other versions.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I think it has to do with what the Facebook servers are giving you on cm10. I think its because jelly bean devices are all higher resolution than ours. It does it on the mobile website too, but if you change the user agent to iPhone on your browser it will look normal.
Phantom, parts of it look the same. But with the current version of Facebook for Android, I guess you could say that my layout for my wall looks entirely different. If you check it out on the Play store, mines doesn't look like that. Only the top portion seems to be okay. I don't even have a cover photo! But it's more of an annoyance than anything.

This has happened to me as well on CM9. I think the Facebook app thinks you are on a higher resolution device.

Yeah, I'm actually glad people know what I mean. I'm starting to agree with that. Probably explains why when I go to the Facebook site on the browser it sends me to the Facebook full site instead of the mobile. Hope they fix it soon!

So just thought I'd like to give a last update for this before I leave it floating in cyberspace... I upgraded to Global 4.1.2 JB and my Facebook layout came back. So basically everything is back to normal... I think. Maybe it was just a CM9 thing but cheers!

I killed my Facebook app and it went to the same layout as the reason this thread was made. And won't go back to normal. Fml

Sooooo.. one LAST update, I promise. Switched back to CM9 Psycho because CM10 right now was just too buggy for my phone. Everything with Psycho has been awesome, including camera. Anyways, that also brought me back to the original Facebook that I had when I started this post and it basically reverted but I rather have a stable phone than a distorted Facebook look. But I guess the problem just comes with CM9 altogether. Anyways, cheers! :silly:
i just use friendcaster its better all around anyways. may not be pretty but its hella functional. im sticking with that till we get a native fb app like we were promised.
I'm trying to use friend caster but the ads are killing me. I tried using lucky patcher to remove them but had no luck

The UI this guy has set up is just freaking amazing. I hate to be that guy, but im going to copy the sh*t out of it haha! Its just so different and I doubt I will run into anyone with something similar. He also does give a really great review of the device

Man, that's a great review. Nice find!

I love his work and did the exact same to my original note and even my s3. I eventually switched back to stock and the only reason was because most all third party apps I use don't have a landscape mode. So I'm constantly switching from portrait to landscape instead of staying in landscape which bugged me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I actually messaged him asking about portrait mode issues and he said it worked just fine in both and was going to put up a Q&A

http://www.youtube.com/user/coldfustion - Yup I'm no fan of TW (or most any stock grid icon UI really) & always replace the launcher etc immediately (I like the vast customizability of Go Launcher-effects settings & the app is free-what is their revenue model-some kind of future freemium revenue model?) & am a big fan of 3D elements & nice widgets as long as the system doesn't lag..
Many people apparently like or are at least OK with that super simple grid icon UI but it seems way too basic+dull to me. When I help people with their devices they often don't make any changes to stock UI except wallpaper-lockscreen photo so I doubt you will be running into many with something similar
Yeah I've been watching his stuff for a while. Just awesome work he does.

full tutorital on how to do it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c39PXAr9_F8
So I stumbled across an awesome deal today but it only lasts today. This will get you next launcher 3D full version. Only catch is that if you want it on a few devices you have to do this for each device as it wont download as full. So use titanium etc if you want to keep before changing ROMs.
So to get it download the light version. Hit the menu (3dots on far right) go to preferences, select "about full version" then hit activate don't worry if its greyed out just hit it. Next just enter username - nextlauncher3d and code - appoftheday
All credit to slickdeals where I found the offer enjoy

Yep I grabbed this as soon as the appoftheday notification appeared by 3pm UK time it was off and had been replaced by a different app.

The above links work and you can also find it by going to the Play Store in a web browser and then clicking on the gear icon on the right side and then you will see the Android Device Manager there too.
This seems useless after I change my Google password (which would the first thing to do since thief has my phone as a authenticator).
