Samsung apps: Facebook for Samsung

Just released today, haven't tried it yet, but from the screenshots, the UI looks the same as the Facebook Android app.
Edit: .apk added for those who requested for it.

They call it Facebook S.. it works really well.. I can access my video and upload video... you can't do this with the normal Facebook app I can't

Oh it came back! After long time! I was wondering what happend to Facebook S!...

Ah.. I was unaware it went off.. I still prefer the web version however..

where can i find it?
not in the market and not in the samsung-apps-app
have the JPC-firmware running

It should be in the Samsung apps. If not...then it's nowhere I guess. Maybe that Froyo doesn't support it.

hmm..since the update to froyo... there are only 3 apps in the samsung-apps-app..
so maybe you're right..
but.. can anyone post the .apk of facebook S?
//edit
just saw it..
its my anniversary in this forum..
100 posts

cool, just installed.
ty for the hint.

They still haven't get the "Like" button on it... Would be perfect with that.

If it just came back into the samsung apps store.. I'm guessing it's a new version.
Can someone dump it for us peeps who are on unofficial froyo? Pretty please?
BTW i'm on JP3 and the old Facebook S doesn't work properly, so I hope this one does..

The gui is pretty. But no localized version and it's insanely slow compared to the official app when it loads the content.

any screenshots?
and +1 for the .apk

I am not sure if this is the correct one. USE AT OWN RISK.

Didn't attach for some reason. Try again.

yeah.. thx ..
will give it a try

Why is it that every android version of facebook has no facebook chat?
Surely it can't be that hard to implement

Did you dump that yourself? The CRC (and hence the apk itself) is identical to the old version which I already have.
If the answer is yes, samsung have not updated this app but just reintroduced to the samsung apps store.
If the answer is no, can someone else please confirm if the app is changed/updated at all (preferably dump it too )

Yes it is the old one. I cannot see a new one in Samsung apps yet.

Just downloaded it. It's extremely slow and lacks all the functionality. I'll stick to the browser.

New Dragon Go! Voice Recognition App

I just saw articles about this new software and it looks promising. Nuance has been doing voice recognition for a long time so perhaps they have finally brought Siri like functionality to Android.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-a-stellar-voice-recognition-app-for-android/
Only problem is that as of now, it can't be found in the market on our phones and the market says our phone is not compatible when I search from a computer. Does anyone know how to get the .apk? I'm sure the market will allow us to download it soon but I don't like waiting.
Also, has anyone tried this on another phone yet? Any feedback?

The apk can be found in the comments in your link

Thanks. Didn't realize it was already there.
Here is the link if anyone is interested in trying it out. I'll report back my experiences once I use it for a while...

Where is the money?
As a Dragon user on the PC I can tell you that Nuance isn't known for giving things away or doing anything for cheap. Since they aren't charging for this app, at least not yet, makes me wonder where the money is.

Vote for this bug: Google Play doesn't remember scroll position

EDIT: it's a confirmed bug..seriously, Google?! To vote to get this bug fixed, add a star to this bug in the Google Code bug list for Android: This is a crazy bug and I want to stop it.
Search for an app on Google Play

Does this happen to anyone else? Some Nexus 7 people have noticed it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825410), but it seems device specific.
It's like looking at page 4 of Google results and when you come back from a link, it threw you back to the first page.

I think it's been like that forever

Yes, its very annoying.

You're not alone, been like this for several updates now. It didn't always do this! Not sure if there's anything we can do about it. Someone could mod the apk but then you can't allow it to update anymore.

Buggers. Man, I was hoping it was just some funky setting. Well, I found the Android bug site and, what do you know, other people have noticed this, too. So, if this annoys you, add a "star" to this bug report on Android's Google Code listing:
This is a crazy bug and I want to stop it.
For shame, Google, for shame!

i get it too, and also on nexus s.

I haven't gotten the update yet, but should be here soon....

Facebook home

Now iv been looking for a leaked apk of this all over. if you havent heard about it yet then jump on to your fb account and check it out. its been a part of my news feed for days. more that i read it seems this will be more of a rom than an app. witch confuses me because the way fb had worded it, it had seemed like it was going to be an app also. im no crazy facebooker like my gf but im curious to see how this changes things like the lock screen, home screens and the overlay of fb msger. does anyone have more info on this or just maybe a leaked apk they saw fall off the back of the truck and and point me where i can find it on the side of the road lol.
more infor if anyone wanted to read http://www.topapksite.com/facebook-home-rom-leaked-ahead-of-releasethe-droid-guy/
If anyone is looking for it here you go. Its not my work in anyway all I'm doing is pointing the finger in the rite way. Enjoy. Works on my phone fine

I was first thinking it was just something for the htc first. But now I'm under the impression that it's going to be a replacement launcher like apex or nova.

I thought it was announced? It's a launcher, but it's more integrated than other launchers as it also replaces the lockscreen and has that overlay. Personally, as a college student who uses facebook for communication and stalking his friends, I'd use it lol.

I'll try it for a few minutes, but not something I would use fulltime.

I just download the leak that was on modaco. Right now not much is working all i have is a black screen and the icon buttons i like that can switch back to your normal launcher.I'm on Facebook alot so might use it once a working APK comes out for our phone.

i read that until the official release on April 12th only employee facebook logins will work with the leaked apk.
I might mess with it to see what theyve been up to at FB, but I cant imagine wanting to use this as a regular launcher. Especially if its anything like their native app.

My understanding is just that it is a launcher that is heavily integrated with FB.
I personally will not be using it, as I cancelled my FB account a year ago. The air just smells cleaner these days...

So Facebook home was released today and after reading the requirements our phone should run it just fine. But they would rather supply it to the popular phones. Is there a sure way of getting the official release on our phone through the market? I know there's a way to change the play store to think this is a different device. How do I do that? All I can find are enablers that don't work on most phones this one included
Edit: never mind. That still doesn't work. Edited the build.prop and still no luck. Even the Facebook that supposed to have the "home" settings doesn't have it for my device. And the leak files won't allow me to log in. I'm assuming that has something to do with the device as well..

I believe 4.3 and 4.4 get MiCode releases at the same time.
I'll just do 4.4 when it's available

Look in the 'Market App' and use the G-apps installer present, it is also on the MIUI forums

Not being able to turn off the nav bar is a deal breaker for me. Liked the rom, but no need for the nav bar on the S4.

This is just an early alpha, a test to see if the frameworks will run correctly.
The nav-keys are there in-case HW keys are not functional so feedback can still be given and they can be disabled by removing:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
in build.prop, this text entry turns the on-screen softkeys on and removing it will disable them
Edit: the next version-up will be far more 'complete' this was just built today on a CM10.1 base that was just built today :x

No more updates?

Google Account
Cannot find a way to add Google Account. Only offers Exchange, MI Cloud, Mail??????
I was able to setup Google in Browser with my GMail account, but......
And when I try to start playstore after installing the apk,, it starts then goes back to the icon. I think because it needs the Google account info first.
I do have all the other recommendations in FAQ working, including root, etc.
FIXED: http://en.miui.com/thread-3998-1-1.html
Go to this page. Create an account to allow download of the Google apps installer. Make sure you enable all of the settings including ok to adding Google framework. After doing all of this you will see a slew of Google downloads including the playstore app. My mistake was locating an apk file and installing standalone. That will not work. I uninstalled that APK and used the link I show. Then it works

I am an old time MIUI user back in my Nexus One days when I left IPhone for my first Android. Coolest MIUI stuff is the ultimate amount of themes out there. It does take a lot of extra effort in customizing the way you like a setup, but I find MIUI so refreshing compared to the typical stuff available. I actually find this really responsive including consistent 32Mps download speeds speedtest.net in my home here in Las Vegas. To bad more developers here aren't into working with MIUI. Even though it's still using 4.2.x, everything I need works, including Samsung WatchOn that was posted here on another ROM as a standalone recovery installation with a Kit Kat 4.4.x ROM.
Have you tried the full latest MIUI download for the I9505. Been trying to download that for the last three days. REALLY slow site
Miss the days when there were those English packs that pretty much weeded a lot of the Chinese stuff out, but I can live with that too :good:
Edit: Just saw your join date here same as me...Jan 2010 and you also had the Nexus One. Probably ran into some time or another back in those olden days if I did a search here......
PPS...not much traffic so I am taking a little libery in thread drift too

OK, a new update is coming tomorrow.
Now that I understand this phone a bit more I can do a more stable version with the next revision.
I'm going to also include the software camera that comes with Xiaomi phones as well, I'll need feedback on it so I'm going to put it in another flashable zip independent of the download link for MIUI.
Also 4.2.2 is cool and all that but I've been prepping a 4.4 base for MIUI v6 as well and working on a solution for OTA update as well.

I am totally sold on going back to MIUI. I forgot how much custom stuff was possible. So include me. More than happy to test stuff too before posting if you want help. Spent three days trying to download from the MIUI world site the slighter later, but bloated version which I assume would have been compatible. I9505. But failed at installing in recovery. I have one app that refuses to work correctly with 4.3 or 4.4 updates, but works perfectly under 4.2, but I can live with updates to newer. I basically have to delete cache files everytime before starting the app. Annoying, but do-able.
PS...what local folder are themes that are downloaded stored in. I couldn't get a .mtz file to install when I manually went on the MIUI world site. Using the THEME app on the phone works. Just have to get past the Chinese texts to figure out how to individually apply separate items such as lock screens etc.
EDIT: The prior MIUI theme installers allowed to pick and choose what aspects of a theme you wanted to install. Could not see how to do this currently, unless I'm missing something.
Keep up the good work...thanks!!!
