The Motorola Milestone Android 2.1 update has apparently been released in Europe and it includes some new Motorola custom apps: a replacement camera app; a new Motorola-specific Facebook app, and a custom CarHome app.
I haven't found anywhere much info about or screen shots of these yet as it looks like the update was just pushed yesterday.
Has anyone seen these apps floating around out there in an APK form for us to install on our Nexuses?
I've got a Milestone that has been at 2.1 for a couple of weeks now (love leaks).
I'll pull the APK's from the rom and post them, if you are interested. It would not shock me if they have run problems out of the box.
I'd like these as well if you don't mind.
I'd be interested in the email app with the new exchange security features.
I looked on android git and it doesn't seem like anything new has been committed to the email app in the last 7 weeks though.
Bump, anyone?
Just plugged in my 'stone - what apks do you want?
EDIT: I'm pulling /system/app and posting the zip to Filedropper as we speak. I'll post the link in a few seconds.
I've tried a few of them. The Facebook app doesn't seem like a massive improvement. The Moto Car Home app is less fancy but probably easier to use hile driving than the N1 - it is a rectangle with 6 big buttons. Milestone has the N1 and the Droid absolutely killed with the photo editor app. The camera and video app is OK - the effects mode is very nice, though I don't use that, but can't touch the Desire cam for speed and function. The corporate email and calendar apps apparantly still work pretty well with exchange (they already did with 2.0 and 2.0.1). The audio equalizer is very nice - I wish that the N1 had that (it hasn't changed from 2.0.1, that I can tell).
Here is the link to all of the apps. All are de-odexed.

Thanks for posting this. Camera app FC on me . I really like the way milestone camera works and hoping that I can use it on my N1. Moto phone portal works pretty well with N1.
How did you get MotoCamera to work on your N1?

Which one is the new FB app? If it's the Facebook.apk then it's the same one that comes on our nexus'......
Has anyone tried to install the photo editor app he mentioned? If it'll install through a file manager on a stock N1, then I'm wondering how it compares to Adobe's app.
Would like to know about that too^^^
The moto phone portal app is really cool too! works perfectly
Do u have too be rooted to install the phone portal and what does it do?
it lets you back up contacts, photos, sms.
And it lets you send/recieve sms from your phone using wifi, it's all done through a web page, really neat!
and idk if you have to be rooted or not :/
You are all welcome.

The photo editor is pretty close to Photoshop Mobile for Android, except it is linked to the Gallery, so opening a photo anywhere that uses the Gallery offers the edit options in the menu.
Therein lies the rub: at least on the Milestone, you have to use the 'stone's gallery to use the 'stone's editor. I have both the Milestone gallery and the Nexus gallery on my Milestone for exactly this reason.
When I get a chance, I'll try the Gallery and Photo Editor on my N1 to see if it works.
What about the Email app? Has anyone tried it yet?
Does it have any improvements compared to the stock app?
must my phone rooted for this apps??

Why dont you just try it?
If it doesnt work then you'll probably need it rooted

I think this is a problem on their servers (Facebook) as I have the same issue on 5.0.7.1 and from what I have found it randomly fixes itself after a few days somehow in most cases. First time it happened to me as well.
The message that I get is something like "An error had occurred while fetching data [null]"
Do you get a similar message?
ye same problem for me as of last night ~10pm GMT
I also have this problem on CM 5.0.6
Probably facecbook issue.
I get that as well but i'm on CM507 and it was working!
Yup!
Same error code!
Thanks
I was about to reload some stuff
Doesn't seem to be wanting to fetch data. It's a facebook issue. I really do hope a new optimised app for froyo will be out soon, and bring more goodies to the table. This app is starting to feel old (not to mention the bugs)

Yeah, defiantly seems to be a server issue on their side, nothing much you can really do other then try touch.facebook.com and use that as a bookmark and place it on your home screen or something.
Same here and I'm on 5.0.6 and I also think it's a facebook issue.
Side note: This maybe old but anyone seen the option to 'download facebook for Nexus One' at the bottom of the mobile site? it just takes me to a blank page.
Yeah same issue as of a few hours ago on the stock leaked FroYo. Glad it's not just me, lol. The weird thing is the widget is updating!
good thing we have flash to access the real website
I think its a mobile facebook issue.. My gf's Cliq and a buddy's BB Curve have been having issues since last night as well as my N1
Yeah it must be a facebook issue. I am having the same error on my froyo nexus one, and my 2.1 htc hero. Very wierd that the widget still updates. Come one facebook, release a REAL facebook app for android.
Possibly because of the new privacy changes.
Whew - someone else having the same problems!
I installed Froyo last night and Facebook worked fine for the first few hours, but starting late last night it's been having the "Fetching" problems.
Go figure?
*sigh* I bet this has something to do with it:

I am also having this error. Very annoying!

Interesting.
Seriously hope this improves FB for Android.
Its doo doo balls right now.
Doing the same thing for my girlfriend and a friend with Droids so it's Facebook.
I surmise there's an update coming soon for the official app that uses the new Facebook Android APIs including the new facebook graph API.
Let's hope they include chat soon too...
Same problem. Installed FB Touch as replacement meanwhile.
I also have problems with my email app. It force closes easily. Annoying.
The original facebook for android app took you to the touch site, but this one keeps taking me to the full site, and it doesn't work for my phone. Any help would be appreciated?

Mine is still set at android, I tried restoring to default awhile back thinking maybe I accidently changed something but that didn't work either
Im sure there will be another update out soon to fix these issues. They have been quick to fix lately. No more contact sync options either, on my phone at least. Almost feels like a broken app on my phone right now.

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.

So as many of you have already heard, Instagram dropped for we Android users about a week ago. Google Play won't let me find the app, so I downloaded the latest apk and installed it using a file manager. The app does everything fine except let me upload photos. It'll allow me to take/choose a photo from my gallery, crop it, but crashes at the filter screen. Has anyone looked into this at all, or am I just gonna have to avoid this app until I choose to upgrade my phone?
Oh, and I'm running CM7 if it matters at all.
100 Views and no responses? Looks like we're all screwed huh? XD
Might be. Didn't know about this program until today.
avoid app until you upgrade your phone i ran into similiar problems with my hero
I managed to get working by downloading and installing the apk itself
