Has anyone tried adding chat to Facebook app?

Why does android not have Facebook with chat. Android has been out for some time now but still nothing.
There latest update is by far the best and performance wise it actually works better than previous versions.
I don't know if its possible but has someone tried to insert chat. There is so much rom development so there must be people capable of modifying this app.

The Facebook app isn't open source.

Is there no way to modify it. Everything is possible these days

I use Pairing. Works flawlessly and also ties all other chat programs in.

go! chat on the market works well

There's a version of bloo that has chat enabled that's floating around. It doesn't have the fancy new photoscroller or inbox features, but it DOES have chat if that's what you want.

Was supposed to say Palringo. It's free in the market and works awesome.

The AIM app works really well too. Can check FB updates from within the app as well.

if you use ninjamorph you can alter the .xml files in .apk's. can't someone create a .xml file that adds chat support? Or can't someone take the facebook app piece for piece via astro and add chat support and add an icon in one of the blanks on the main homepage? that seems do-able.

Trillian Beta Released for Android...

Trillia have released thier multi-protocol IM client for Android. Runs in 1.6 too...Not available in the market, can be downloaded from here
The app will work with AIM, Facebook Chat, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, WLM, and MySpaceIM, and because it natively supports Android 1.6, it will work with the original Android handset G1. People with phones running more recent versions will receive better resolution graphics, according to the company. Current Trillian users will be able to automatically load their accounts on the phone using Trillian's Astra syncing service.
Some of the app's more esoteric features include "buzzing" your friends as a way to demand attention from them and sharing photos via IM. The app also offers a smooth transition to landscape mode, and in hands-on tests worked just as well with a slide-out keyboard as it did with the soft keyboard.

[Developer] Any Interest??

***Developers Read***
I Have Four App Suggestions For Any Developers Willing To Take On Any Of The Projects!!
{Suggestion #1}.... Is A App That Can Be Run To Fix Parse Issues Sometimes Associated With Installation Of Apps, And If It Can Fix The Parse Issue, Specify Why!
{Suggestion #2}.... Is A App That Basically Asks Where On The SDCard (Or If Possible, Even Desktop) You Would Like The Current App To Be Installed, Similar To A Desktop Computer, Which Gives The Option To Choose Exact Folder/Desktop Location!!
{Suggestion #3}.... Might Be Reaching On This One, Lol!! But....
It's A Request For A App That That Makes Apps, It Would Basically Have "SIMPLE" Hooked On Phonix Options, For How Or What The User Would Like To Create!! Like I Said Probably Reaching Huh? Lol!!
& Finally Probably The One I'm Hoping For The Most....
{Suggestion #4}.... This Suggestion Is For More Options In The XDA App It Self, Such As.... The Ability To Bookmark Forum Page, Directly Return To The Last Page ( After Closing App), Upload Apps/Scripts Directly From Phone ( Instead of Home Computer), Edit Profile (Pictures), & Also Fried Request!!
Hopefully Someone Will Like At Least One Of These Ideas And Try To Bring It To Life...
Also.... I'd Like To Give A Quick Thanx To All The Developers!!

I'm not a developer, but in response to number 4. The XDA app is actually built off another app named Tapatalk Pro. The folks at Tapatalk Pro made this app special for us XDA users.
If you want a feature added, I would suggest contacting them. Best of luck on the rest!

Maybe reaching a bit if you want to create apps on your phone. Google has a tool called App Inventor that will help you create apps in a web browser on your computer:
http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/
What you are looking for is often called Rapid Application Development, or RAD. Searching for Android RAD doesn't help much, but it does show that there are other people looking for Android RAD.

[APP]Facebook Messenger

The facebook messenger that is anticipated by social junkies is finally here!
However it is not released officially on SE devices so I've decided to post the apk here.
To install just put the apk into your sd card and use a file explorer to find and run it. It worked on my X10.

Thanx ill try it....

can we have the update pls?

i love this app but how do you update it

thanks for the app

I guess we will be able to update the app once the app is available for our respective country
Or if someone post the new updated apk lol

Every friend of mine is on FB so I don't need any other messenger, so it is useful for me.. Why to use third party when the original developers are providing you a messenger...
Also few of my friends asked me how a mobile icon is appearing in place of a green online status indicator..
This is because I use the FB mobile messenger, it is not officially available yet for my country and so most people don't know about it lol

[APP][4.0+]Backbone File Manager - Looking for Alpha testers

Hey everyone, I'm one of the developers of a new app called Backbone File Manager. It's open source and based on CM File Manager written by Jorge Ruesga.
My partner and I have been working a on a rewrite of this project for the past 10 months or so, and I think it’s finally ready for alpha testing. *We’re running things through the Play Store’s alpha/beta manager, so I’ve prepared the G+ community linked below for access management. *Interested testers can request an invite to the community and I’ll wave you in as quickly as possible.
What we're looking for
I’m particularly interested in device specific bugs/feedback and in discussions with folks about their workflows. *As you all know, many of the file manager apps out there aren’t very #HOLOYOLO and fail to provide a polished, standards-compliant experience. *Add that to the fact that managing files is inherently unintuitive and cumbersome, and you have a recipe for a bad experience. *I’m hoping to address this endemic deficiency with a more intuitive experience that simplifies common workflows.
Future Plans
We don’t yet have the features to stand toe-to-toe with apps like ES File Explorer or FX File Explorer yet, but Backbone is still pretty full featured (Root, Text Editor, Thumbnails, Usual goodies) and we’re continually working to implement more features like cloud access. *Rest assured, my partner and I are in this for the long haul - so you'll continue to see updates and improvements.
Once we work out enough of the bugs, we’ll move this into beta/production and implement a (tentative) price of $2.99, so get it now while it’s hot (and free)! *My plan is to continue running the alpha channel in parallel to the beta/production releases.
How to Join
I’m sure that many of you are familiar with the process already, but in order to download the app you have to:
1) Be a part of the community
2) Click on the link that says “Alpha test opt-in”
3) Click “Become a tester”
4) Click “Download Backbone File Manager Alpha from the Play Store” at the bottom of the page

When you say stuck, do you mean that it took a while to open? Did it eventually open? If it was just a delay, how long was it?

Just had a quick test and it looks good and feels smooth. I like it, will test more functions ttomorrow.

here some logs from crashing,it seems that when i change to another storage and then back to previous the app is hanging up and does nothing anymore until i kill it or the message pops up the the app is not responding and must be stop,even if i change colors,after this i go out from the settings and open a folder the app stop working too until i kill it and restart.

Good file manager. Would like to have zip-viewer.

I can seem to get root access, to get to system flies, it's not asked once. Any ideas? It says it's in safe mode.
EDIT: I just had to click safe mode silly me haha, I now have root.
U
Xperia z stock 4.2.2 jb rooted
Bootloader locked
Edit: backbone just froze and forced closed On me after I just opened the app and did nothing.
Also when I try to copy a file from sd card to external usb it starts transferring but won't let you cancel it and I had to force close it. Is there any chance of implementing a bar or mb counter so we know how long is left On a transfer,
