That would be awesome if someone brought it to regular SMS texts, could this be brought to CyanogenMod 10.1 ?
Facebook Messenger has this and its awesome to use.

That would be sweet. And if it gets enough support it may well be integrated into CM or have a separate app like PIE did

Based on their Google+ page this won't be as simple to put into other ROMs as Pie. They said that there is a lot of new code and changes made that will make it very difficult to put into other ROMs. I guess we'll see though.
I guess I just don't see the point. It's always awesome to have new features implemented, buy why? What does this solve that the notification bar does not already do? Maybe I'm just not getting it.

Facebook Messenger chatheads are the main inspiration behind this. They say that the way the notification shade works now interrupts the flow of using your phone too much. This is supposed to remedy that by making it more accessible.

So if you've never used the feature, why talk bad about it?
But..its good to use as you can stay in a app and still easily send messages and see what they say and a picture can also be shown of said contact which is what's in the "bubble"
Quite frankly it blows my mind none of these other big names in instant messaging apps haven't even bothered to take this and adapt to their own.
I give props to the dev team behind Facebook for thinking it up.
I used it on iOS but to my surprise after using it on Android its severely limited on iOS that you can only use the chat heads or bubbles while only be in the actual Facebook Messenger app. On Android as long as your signed in you can get these little contact bubbles anywhere, and you can move the bubble anywhere on the corners of the screen or drag and drop to the trashcan to close it.
Here's Facebook Messenger chat heads being demoed

In no way did I "talk bad" about it. I stated very clearly, several times, that I do not understand the novelty of it. I did not, previously, understand what it offers over the notification drop-down. Now I do understand.
Thanks for explaining.
Here's a video preview of Halo
It's looking good so far, I can't wait to try it out!
Looks promising, though if it would hide more than 15% of the halo bubble, say, adjustable up to 90% hidden or transparent when not in use, that would make it a must have for every custom ROM.

I don't understand why other ROM Devs won't put this in their ROM ..this is basically rewriting the way Android does notifications and for the better IMO
So if the other ROM devs won't jump on this I'll be jumping ship to PA ROM also.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I'd really like to see some competition between PA and, idk CM or AOKP to get notifications done right.
PA I think is on track, but it would be interesting to see something like the bb10 hub (or an inspired new concept... Not just a Facebook feature ripoff) in CM or AOKP. Just to see what school of thought may win.

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?

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.

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 just curious--what do you use the sync toggle for? I've never wanted to turn that off, but maybe there's an advantage that I'm overlooking. Is it just for when you need to conserve battery charge or data transmission?

It probably does run in the background on boot, unles you AutoStart it off.
On the stock-based ROMs, there's a background service called "SNS" (IIRC) that has the Facebook logo as its icon. This app probably uses that service. SNS can be safely frozen.

I hate how they keep cramming FB and Twitter down our throats. If I wanted to let my friend know that I just took a dump, I'd call him on the phone like normal people.
I am glad to see an even greater number and diversity of apps coming to android, and specifically the Note2. That said, Facebook Home will never have an opportunity to afflict my Note2.
Would be promising if it weren't made by Facebook. The app alone is lucky to still be installed.

Facebook's soon-to-be-released Home thingy seems to have gotten a lot of buzz in the mainstream media. While I find Facebook Home "interesting" to say the least and would definitely be interested in test driving it, I'm more than happy with the current app.
That being said I noticed that only 7 devices will be supported by Facebook Home. According to Android Central
Right now the official list of phones that'll support Facebook Home at launch is as follows: HTC One, HTC One X, HTC One X+, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note II, and of course the HTC First.
I'm feeling a tad left out and wondering why the E4GT didn't seem to make the cut...
Is anyone interested in Facebook Home or are you cautious like me and feel like this might give up too much of one's privacy to Mark Zuckerberg?

theres a reason Facebook home is only on the latest phones: performance.
Facebook would always be running, and it seems pretty resource intensive, so you need the resources to run that AND whatever you want to do.
older phones simply aren't capable of doing both, or will do both with horrible lag.
Personally, i feel that people are becoming way to comfortable in giving up their privacy and it will come back and bite people in the a** at some point, but to each their own i suppose
I heard that its great for displaying ads and risking your privacy:thumbup:

Using the launcher isn't going to give them anymore info on you than using the regular app.

Getting it to work
Since Facebook Home launched today, if any one is curious and wants to give it a try, you can grab the APK and mod the build.prop to emulate an SGS3 and it works. Just did it on mine, and everything is working fine for me.
FWIW
Here's the APK - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40223609&postcount=267
Here's the build.prop parameters I changed:
ro.product.model=SCH-I535
ro.product.name=d2vzw
ro.product.device=d2vzw
I installed build.prop editor (free version) and when I change the values mentioned above, it doesn't seem to take the change.
The app has SU permissions.
Verified with ES Note editor after rebooting that the values in fact did change.
Still getting the error of device incompatibility.
Edit: Got it working. Had to change "ro.build.product=SCH-I535"
Edit 2: So now that I got FBH to work, I no longer get notifications for my FB Messenger. There's no little "1" icon next to the Chat Head. Bummer...
Facebook home with the device check patched out http://www.modaco.com/topic/361924-facebook-home-download/

I I decided to do a little messing around on my phone today. The lack of Swype features on the stock keyboard irritated me. Lol So I was messing with build prop.
First you must be rooted, second get a Build Prop editor, or something like ROM Toolbox, third be sure to make a back up in case you mess something up.
Open your build prop and look for these lines: ime_trace_apply and ime_trace_menu. Tap one to open it up and you'll see Property Value:false and Default Value:false. Click the selection box under Default Value and change it to true. Save and go back into the build prop.
Do the same thing for the next line. So now both of your items (ime_trace_apply and ime_trace_menu) will read True. Be sure to save Build Prop and reboot. Once you do that, try to use the keyboard.
You should see a quick pop up explaining what Trace Input is. If you don't, then check in your setting and make sure you have it checked. That's all there is to it. I'm so much happier with the stock keyboard now.
*Try not to screw up any settings please!*
FYI - I am not responsible for you messing with your Build Prop, screwing up your device, bricking it or Grumpy Cat coming to your front door, to call you a failure.
***Edit - in the example provided, ROM Toolbox Lite was used. ***

I also like the dedicated number row... Only complaint is that the space bar is too narrow (I also have that complaint for the swype keyboard).
I've been using Kii - space bar is wider, and it also allows you to backspace after autocorrect to revert to the original word (if you don't want it uncorrected). But I'd switch to stock full time if only the space bar were wider.

I had this problem too. I ended up using the GravityBar module in Xposed, which happens to have the feature to slide your finger across the statusbar itself to change brightness (under Statusbar tweaks, at the bottom). Works perfectly, no crashes. Not sure if everyone will find this to be an acceptable alternative, though.
Weird cause Swipe was enabled by default on the Verizon model. I actually had to go in and turn it off in the settings.
So funny how the G2 does all these great things yet every version this, this, and that disabled. It would be cool to find a rom that has everything enabled to let US pick and choose what features we want to use.
It's like the AT&T version doesn't have launcher themes. I'm not sure if they even have Keyboard, SMS, or launcher themes. Those are pretty buried too.

I am in agreement with you. Give it all to us and let us choose what we want. lol
Does Verizon have group messaging enabled? I'm really irked thats not in the stock messaging app either. I was hoping one of the models had it, I was gonna try to swap messaging apks.

I decided to do a little messing around on my phone today. The lack of Swype features on the stock keyboard irritated me. Lol So I was messing with build prop.
First you must be rooted, second get a Build Prop editor, or something like ROM Toolbox, third be sure to make a back up in case you mess something up.....

I was waiting a bit to see if anyone else reported an issue, because I don't want to come off as a noob . Anyways, I'm using the same Build.prop editor that you are using in your screenshots, but my changes to ime_trace_apply and ime_trace_menu are not saving. I'm rooted, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Any ideas why I can't save? I'm wondering if some other mods are causing conflict....namely: Auto Hide Softkeys, LMT, and G2 Xposed. Thanks in advance!

Yes it does. I've group messaged several times.
Except I use Hangouts now for primary messaging... although I found the stock SMS app more feature rich (and has the popup sms). Hangouts just has the AOSP feel to it, plus it keeps my actual hangout chats in one place = 1 less icon on the desktop.
The LG Stock Roms are pretty feature thick, its just hit and miss what each variant has enabled. AT&T disables the Launcher Themes?! Some disable Group Messaging?! Some have a QuickApp Stock Browser that is windowable (Verizon doesn't have this)?!!!! Some have FM Radios?!
Just gimme everything please!

You may need to change your system to RW (read/write) as it may be on RO (read only) right now.

Awesome, I'd love to be able get group messaging on stock. I totally agree with you. Weird that each handset has different features enabled or disabled. I guess that's why we have XDA.
