Hi guys,just wondering whether anyone can help to create a better Facebook app?The official Facebook app is great but just some issues with it.I can't seem to view photos that doesn't come with a album and sometimes,the Birthday of some people aren't shown.Lastly,maybe a function to be able to view your mutual friends with a certain someone would be great! This Facebook 'part' I unfortunately feel that the iPhone Facebook app is actually better...So please,any app developer for a better Facebook app???

Bloo 1.5, not available on market, but you can probably find it at any of the popular file charing websites (mods: its a free app, so im not promoting warez)...or if youd like i can upload the .apk for you to download and try out
It has chat, notifications for EVERYTHING (including wall/status posts, photo comments, etc.), birthday alerts...pretty much everything

Great!Can you upload the .apk please?

Enjoy....let me know what you think....and dont forget to slam the "thanks" button, glad to help

I just tried this but I can't get facebook to give me the six digit code I need. I gives me an error to try again later. I guess I'll have to do that and see what happens.

a lot of people have this issue. i pulled this from the developers blog (http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/), give it a shot, and report back
Update: Kate from the comments provided some instructions to get the 6 digit code! Thank you Kate!
1. In your browser, enter in http://m.facebook.com (this will bring up the mobile site)log-in to your facebook account.
2. In the “Search” box at the BOTTOM of the page type in “Bloo for Android” and click on “Search”.
3. Click on the application “Bloo for Android” (NOT the group).
4. Then click on the button that says “Allow”. This will link your Facebook account with Bloo.
5. Now, from your phone go to your Bloo application and click on “Get Code” and it should take you to the code page!
6. Enjoy!
*Note* I used the m.facebook.com site directly from my PC, I didn’t try it on my phone… so if it doesn’t work on your phone, try it on your home computer.
I hope this helps out a lot of people!

That wireless flawlessly. You saved me alot of time later on trying to figure that out. There is one option I see missing. The search option. I don't want to scroll through all my friends just to get to one of their pages.
Edit, I figured it out how to do it.

well you can either use the side scroller, or long press your phones menu button to bring up your keyboard, and it searches as you type
or if your phone has a search button, just press that
One more thing: keep in mind this app isnt flawless, it may suck your battery a little bit....and also ive noticed that if you get multiple notifications in a shrot period of time, it might skip over some......other than those two things, its certainly good enough that ive been using it since its release

Does it let you edit and post comments?

Guys I need help.I can't seem to view photos of myself or other people.It says there's no album.And events are not shown too...

You cant easily click a photo on the facebook apps stream and have it point you to the photo, usually it dumps you to the profile instead...
Sort of on topic sort of off topic...
I don't think people should have to make better alternatives to the Facebook app.
I think facebook should get their bloody act together and give us a suitable app that:
Has all the features of the utterly fantastic Iphone one.
DOES NOT RAPE BATTERY.
If everyone rates it 1 star we will get an update. simple as that...
Personally I have uninstalled Facebook, wiped it from the system folder, I use SyncMyPix for contact photos and I use Tweetdeck to pull in my facebook updates. for anything else I need on facebook I use the touch site...because what the app carried on sending you to anyway...
Ive noticed ive gained 3hours per charge since uninstalling all traces of facebook. It is just poorly coded, poorly presented, crippled bloatware.

The new F-plus on the market is pretty good. Offers push notifications and news feed now. Doesnt have chat. Go facebook chat is pretty good though.

I definintely like f+ better, I think I'll keep it and use it.

[Q] of a program that will play all "Random Ringtones/Notifications?

so i have lots of cool rigntones and sounds for sms and notifications,but wouldnt it be cool if there was an app that would automatically play a random sound for callls and txts? that way it would always be preety fun to hear something different every time! was wondering if anybody ever came across such a program ? oh yeah for android platform

anybody??? thought this 1 might have come up once b4

Probably too dependent on the phone branding, etc.

I had one on my old phone, and it was either called "toneshuffler" or "ringshuffler". Try searching for those two. It was free, and it worked well enough at the time, but I have not used it in a while.

Its called shuffletone and is on the market

I have developed an app called Multiple RIngtone Sette . You may try this for Random Ringtones

Guiz - my first app

hello!
i just published my first android app.
its a quiz, you get two words, for example "Madonna" and "Bill Gates" and you have to guess what gets more search results on google.
for now its free, but in the future i will be charging for it.
so this is the chance to get it for free
market.android.com/details?id=com.Guiz
EDIT:
added screenshot

Cool concept!! Any screenshots?

Tried it. Cool idea, but after about 20 words noticed that all words were nothing I would ever google..

Link made clickable, for the lazy.
Nice game idea.

Love the idea! I'll check it out !

For what reason does your app need to know my location, sms, personal data and calls?

nice app.
Could you please :
- add a manual text input feature to compare between 2 sets of words ?
- do some serious privacy permission clean up. The only thing needed is web access. (fortunately there are a couple of watchdog programs available such as permission denied or LBE out there which do a brilliant job, but still...)

Congrats on making the front page. Found this cuz of that. Great game idea, too!!

I found the best force orientation app ever!

I'm here to recommend one to u guys, found it in the market after a few hours.
Since i cant post links, search for 'Display orientator' by RUBBERBIGPEPPER

Well, I've looked the app up on the internet and really I can't find anything really special about it. Could you maybe explain why you think it's so wounderfull?

Here. I think it's actually worth trying! Thanks OP

I was just searching for such an app and stumbled upon this thread.
It seems like a great app. There are some apps that I use daily which do no allow vertical orientation. With this app, I was able to force it....
Thanks!

fantastic and very useful little app, flick golf looks miles better wide screen ;-) . thanks....

Perfect! Just what I've been looking for.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to bump a 2 months old thread but here goes. It's still relevant now anyway.
It's not the problem whether this app is special or not, it's actually the only app on the market that allows you to force your screen's orientation. Well, there is actually another one but it's not free and the reviews said it's not working properly.
I've had issues with one game where I accidentally kept pressing the softkeys. Used this app to turn the screen 180 degrees and I don't have that problem anymore. Also surfing the internet (I tend to switch between portrait or horizontal when browsing) or watching youtube while lying on bed is no longer a problem.

Bump please... Anyone know a method to make it work ?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

Please lock this down... Its pointless...and mostly helpless... Nobody seems to use the yahoo video plugin.
And nobody is replying .
It has never worked on nexus s . on gb,ics , ever.
This thread seems like my notepad )).. So please close it or reply somewhat .

666 views and no answer... Def the most unfortunate thread i've started.
I wish i could delete or lock it because i see no one does.
it is not of any help.

I believe the Nexus devices are not compatible with the Yahoo Messenger Plugin. Unfortunately, it's a sad result of poor management of the apps available on Google Play Store.
The reality is, Google doesn't care about the quality of the apps and probably never will, therefore developers can do whatever they like with their apps (In this case Yahoo).
It's sad that you need to get rid of a good device, like Nexus 7, just because you want to be able to use Yahoo Messenger, which is what I ended up doing.
Oh and by the way, the Ipads/Iphones are the only mobile devices where Yahoo Messenger Plugin actually works and works well.
I've had various different Android devices over the last couple of years (Toshiba Thrive 7", Hyundai A7HD, Nexus 7, Motorola RAZR) and they all suffer from issues with Yahoo Messenger Plugin.
Bottom line, you need Yahoo Messenger, get rid of Android!

I would thank you many times for replying ..but I can only pres it once .
