Facebook has updated Messenger and main Facebook app this morning to prepare the arrival of Home (that is available only on selected devices, which are One X, One X+, First, Note 2 and SIII (eventually One and SIV). It looks like links are not up yet, but the app is live as you can see from this screenshot
-Personal Review:
I've been looking forward to it for nearly a whole month, following leaked previews on Modaco, getting excited for that.
Now that I finally got it, I'm kind of "yah, cool. Now let's go back to Nova"
That's not because I don't like it, the idea is nice. Probably it's just me.
I like the thing that with a simple swipe you can access your SMS/Facebook Messages, or main facebook app and the app drawer, but I'm missing many parts of my One X...
Widgets... that's android's pride. I need my widgets, like weather and news feed, and now I have to swipe up, open app drawer, scroll down to weather app to see if tomorrow is raining or not.
Long refreshing time... When I go back to facebook home after a while it needs 10-15 seconds to refresh news feed, and it's very annoying because it lags a lot in that moment, and can't do anything...
Btw, I love the new updates. Messenger app is nearly perfect now, I don't need to leave an app or a game to answer a text, and I love it :good:
Please let me know your opinions, I would like to see if you agree and will use Home as default Launcher or not, and why

FB Home APK
Found the apk link from AndroidPolice. Someone posted it but didn't work on his Nexus 4
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wkn8izmbbk8pmn5/com.facebook.home-1.apk
Going to try it on GNex

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40223609&postcount=267
EDIT: you need to update your build.prop to get it to work.
ro.product.model=SCH-I535
ro.product.name=d2vzw
ro.product.device=d2vzw
That's what I used, it makes your device look like the VZW GS3.

thanks, I'll try it and update the post

Me 3.... Bet it's custom ROM related.

Even if u install the app, it says its not available in your country. Anyone any luck?

Status bar... why is it hidden, facebook? I can't find any option to show it (maybe you guys can), and I hate the fact that you need to double swipe down to see your notifications.
Widgets... that's android's pride. I need my widgets, like weather and news feed, and now I have to swipe up, open app drawer, scroll down to weather app to see if tomorrow is raining or not

You can also just create a shortcut to the activity under "settings", just FYI. This is good for people who can't do that, though.

Does not work for me. after installation the app says "not compatible with your system". I am using standard orca rom... android 4.2.2

I like the icon in the OP

This is what I read about App Ops:
"Some apps don't show all their required permissions until we use them. For instance with Bump app the authorizations for "vibrate mode" and "Send notification" only appear when we open the app and try to send something."
I don't have 4.3 atm so could u please confirm? It seems very strange to have a security app wich works like that...

Good one ! Thanks .try to change icon or pit in settings if you can

yes, and you can try "App Ops Launcher" on play store to launch the "App ops" on android 4.3, it is just only 7kb.

it is coming with the next update? i mean official yet?

A new way for end users to break apps...a developers nightmare come true. While I like the idea of this it is too easy for users to switch off permissions, forget they did it, app appears broken and the developer must waste time supporting a non-issue.
This is aimed at the functionality Google has added to 4.3 not the OP's shortcut app.

The situation wouldn't be the current one if some developpers don't use useless permissions. Have a look at Facebook's permissions...
The user has to know what he does before criticizing an app that seems to not work properly.

If used properly this is an awesome addition, the problem is what I stated above will indeed happen.
Example being a wallpaper app (we will call it wall-e) shouldn't be able to read contacts if it can't set contact images, in this example disabling this ability is warrented. But perhaps you didn't know this particular wallpaper app can set contact images, you disable this permisssion. Weeks later your changing John Doe's image to find wall-e in the list with gallery, you think cool I can use wall-e to change John's image so you select wall-e and bam...force close. You think the app is broken, send bug report, the developer reads the crashlog and tries for hours to find out why on this particular device setting a contact image causes a crash.
This is a general example, it gets worse as most users have no idea what permissions are really necessary for Android applications basic functionality.
Then it gets much worse, this is one user...imagine all the millions of users using hundreds of thousands of apps once 4.3 is mainstream like 4.2.

Please try this "App ops launcher", it is only 7kb, scan this and install on your device to have a try.

cheers :good: will it also work on jb4.1.2?

SwipePad - edge launcher!

Just a quick shout-out for this app. I was looking for something to replace the usefulness of the Note Edge application shortcuts, and came across SwipePad. It's pretty darn good for swiping in from an edge on the S6 Edge and launching apps from anywhere. I guess this would work on any phone, but feels so natural swiping over the curve to get this. Loving it!

PS I'm not affiliated to the app, in case you're thinking that..

Thanks bud

It's the very bottom option under "look and feel" when you select the notification. If you turn off the notification completely, swipe pad will fall out of memory and you'll have to manually start it sometimes. I just choose hide. Never leaves memory and i don't have the ugly icon

Thanks, nice!

i love this one. i put all my frequent contacts in it. marvelous

Hello
I use this app since Years and bought some addons. I couldn't imagine to live without. Now, this app disappeared from the store. Is it end of life? My app is running fine. I just wonder what is the reason for.

Hello XtraWater,
I have used this app since my SGS2. Sadly, I wiped my phone and as you said, Swipepad cannot be found in the play store anymore. I downloaded an APK from a third party site, which works (I'm rooted). But I am unsure how to get the addons to work after installing them from the third party site :-/
I purchased the morespaces add-on previously and that is not in Google Play anymore as well.

Hello
Swipepad started to behave weird. It needed an update... So I gave up. I guess I still have the backup from the more space add-on. I made the backup with titanium backup.
However, in the meanwhile I switched to xposed edge. The app is nice. Plenty of features. The responsiveness although is not perfect. There is sometimes a delay of a second or two. I don't know if there is a way to prioritize the app. I am on Resurrection remix.

Thanks, I'll try out edge since I have Xposed as well. I was looking for Swipepad alternatives today actually, but the results are all dated since this app is so old.
In the meantime, I'm attempting to make the Swipepad add-ons system apps based on a suggestion from this thread. My TI backup was wiped along with the rest of my phone. I may have a copy on my desktop when I get home. If not, can you send me a TI copy of yours?

Sure, let me know when you need the backup.
That edge app is actually very easy to use. Nevertheless, it took a while till I figured it out. At the beginning it's a bit counterintuitive.

Edge Notifications

Hello XDA Members,
I have recently purchased the galaxy s6 edge and wow what a gorgeous phone,
I was just wondering if there is an app or a setting that turns on the Edge notification feed when new notifications come in?
I would of thought that this would of been built into the phone as it sounds really practical
Thank you in advanced

Isn't that just an app drawer for the edge of the screen? I think he wants his feed to load up when he gets a notification like for a text etc.

I have been looking for this feature too, but nothing has come up yet. @trailblazer101 is making a lot of feeds, maybe he can do this for us?
I've been hoping we can have it turn on and off for a set amount of time. Was also hoping to change the activation method from a swipe left to right to a simple double/triple tap.

Did you flash the right version for you version/build? That's rather important, since there's enough differences between them to cause that. Also I have learned Alliance Framework + Cocktail AutoOn don't mesh too well just yet. If you definitely flashed the right version, for your carrier/version/ROM/build then post on that Thread what you are running (ex: 925V OE2, the more information the better), which version you tried, and I'll take a look. However most packages were confirmed working for their respected counterparts.

I tried it with my girlfriend, at home on our wifi network and it still paused due to a slow connection. Pretty sure 75 down/ 25 up should be good enough for this with nothing else hooked up to the network.

Makes sense. But you dont have to download facetime from the app store. Its like 1 person out of 10 has this installed and theres no use of it when u have it and u try to video call ur friend or mom who has no idea what google duo is.
Now if they include that in Nougat, then its a different story.

you don't need an account it just use your phone number to register, simple and supper easy, you can call overseas, it just use data and better too with slow connection.

To me this is a negative, not a positive. It's the reason I don't use whatsapp. I flip sims whenever I travel so I want something that's got an account login, not registered to your number. I use hangouts as my main application. The only thing it doesn't have that I really wish it had was Push to Talk like whatsapp does.

Im really digging this Duo app. My girl and i have been using it quite frequently without issue. That was the only thing i liked about Apple phones and now we have our own version. While i understand not having everyone on board with it but for a small circle of people it's great.
