Nice app.
First off, great app, been using it for a while on my Transformer and its by far superior to the stock Facebook app. Its gotten even better since the upgrade a few days back.
The only issues I've found so far are:
When I try to lauch the app by touching a notification it force closes. I can view the notifications by launching the app and navigating to the notifications tab, but touching the shortcut in the HC notification tray causes a FC.
Once when I launched the app it won't load any of my Facebook data. Forcing a refresh didn't help either. I removed my FB account and re-added it and this seemed to fix it. Haven't had the issue since, so it might have been a one off glitch.
I'm running Prime 1.4 with a Clemsyn kernel on an Asus TF101. Once again, great app, hope you keep developing it!

Nice, will give it a try and report back

That app is not on the market. :/

It is Honeycomb only.
Some issues:
- In reading an article, only 20 or so of the latest comments could be seen. If, say, there's a topic with more than fifty comments, just half of those are available.
- Pressing the notification does not take me to the corresponding article or update, only to the app in its most recent state.

Good App, but until there's a chat option, it's useless for me...Maybe you can add also the new videochat...
greets

tested the app and wrote about it on my blog here:http://myandroidlove.blogspot.com/2011/07/appoptimized-facebook-for-honeycomb.html

I really like the app, however, for it to be the best, this is an issue of needing to have farmville. I need to get my wife off my computer.
Make it so!

Every time I comment on or like a post, the news feed goes back to the top. I think it would be better if the news feeds stay put.
You could also put a favorites tab (like favorite friends).
Thank you for the app!
Also, I discovered that you can't share/upload a photo from the android gallery.

I'm pretty sure it's something that Farmville is blocking. Are you able to play Farmville on the Browser app on the device? I'm not doing anything to block access to games through Friend Me.

I have that working in the 1.3 beta. Should be available this week.

I really love the look of this app. I hope that it'll come in Gingerbread too, though, so I can use it with my Galaxy Tab.

Friend Me is pretty gorgeous - it's very well put-together and is snappy and nice to use.
However, I ran into a few issues:
-- Messaging - it still appears to use the browser-based messaging system. This is really clumsy to use.
-- Newsfeed sometimes does not refresh properly. I was using 1.2 beta 3 and every so often the feed would be empty and not refresh properly. If you went back to the account list, it would then refresh.
-- Repeat notifications. At one point earlier today, Friend Me kept notifying me that there was "new information available", but it wasn't readily obvious what it was notifying me about. I ended up uninstalling just to make the notifications stop.
-- Poke support. Silly, I know, but I've yet to see an app that supports this.
Overall a great app. I'm installing the newly-instated Market version and am really looking forward to seeing more improvements.
Keep up the great work!

Works great on my Xoom, thnx

Love the app, but one problem with it... farmville. I have a friend and I think he does nothing but play farmville all day. In the browser, I have it blocked so I don't see the spam, but in FriendMe, it's 99% of my news feed. Perfect app otherwise.

Is there anyyy way of porting this to the desire hd? Android 2.3?
Sent from my Desire HD

I've published Friend Me 1.3.1 to the Android Market which has an in-app purchase option to remove the ad. I've also moved the ad to the news detail fragment and made it a leaderboard style ad.
The in-app upgrade is only $0.99 for a limited time.

Bought it, even that mostly I use my gtablet under vegan rom (froyo), and only sometimes use the HC port, but your work deserve it.
Thanks!

SocialBlast provides you with an easy and enjoyable way to update your status on multiple social networks with one blast! We currently support Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Foursquare. As soon as Google+ has an API, we'll be adding it as well.
When you first open the app you'll create your SocialBlast account, which will give you the ability to sync your social accounts across devices with ease. Then you can add as many social accounts as you'd like, even multiple accounts from each network. When you add your social accounts to SocialBlast, those tokens are encrypted and stored securely on the SocialBlast server for easy access on any of your devices with SocialBlast support (iPhone and iPad clients coming soon).
The home screen presents three icons on the left. The first lets you choose which accounts the current blast will update. The second lets you take or choose a photo to include. The third gives you the ability to checkin with Facebook and/or Foursquare, and even checkin with your friends for Facebook accounts.
Once you've queued up these social update actions, you hit update and everything is sent to your social network accounts and they're updated effortlessly.
SocialBlast is a free, ad-supported, application for basic usage. We offer an in-app purchase for SocialBlast Pro which unlocks all of the features and removes the advertisements.

Thanks for checking it out. I debated doing that, heavily, but one of the main features I wanted to add was the sync ability. So if you install SocialBlast on your phone and tablet, you can sync your social accounts across the devices using your SocialBlast account.
I just published version 1.0.1 of SocialBlast to the Android Market. The changes are as follows:
1.0.1 - Released 9/6/11
- Clearing data on the server should not remove your SocialBlast account.
- Remove ScrollView usage on main screen (message box stays, everything else moves).
- Accept incoming photo for sharing.
- (BUG) Better error handling around photos.
- (BUG) Layout issue was causing Facebook friends list to not show up.
- (BUG) On certain devices, the account activity could cause an exception.
SocialBlast sounds really good, i am gonna check it for right away.
Thanks for taking a look!
The next 3 people who post here and have a SocialBlast account, I'll enable the Pro features for them for free.
Just downloaded to check it out, should add apps2sd support because almost 7mb is huge for an app like this. I usually use tweetcaster to post to my fb and twitter accounts. will give this a try and see if I likes, thanks

I'm planning on adding a widget, which is why I haven't enabled app2sd. It's a large package because it contains the background layouts for phones/tablets in one apk package. Thanks for giving it a download!
You could always add apps2sd and a widget, that way theres a choice. if you want to use the widget dont move the apk to the sd card. If you dont wanna use the widget you have the option to move it the sd. I wasnt sure aboiut the colors of the UI but after seeing it on my evo I think its really nicely done!

Very true, and I'll likely go that direction. I do worry that the general Android audience might be confused by that, if they've moved it to SD and try to use a widget, but perhaps it won't be an issue.
Thanks for the feedback!
True about the general android audiences, but also consider storage space on phones aren't plentiful on most phones, some users will see almost 7mb and say thats huge! uninstall cuz some are stupid like that lol. Just tested posting with it, extremely smooth! very nice
Oh also will you enable pro features for me? If not no bigs just wondering

Does not support qvga phones and tablets.
If you encountered some crash issue, please don't uninstall it right away, because I can see it , I'll try my best to resolve it.
Coolands for Twitter is a revolutionary twitter client. It has many unique features, gives you the best mobile twitter experience you never imagined before.
*The first unique feature is Real-Time.
You can’t find any refresh button in this app, because you absolutely don’t need to. Every time you open it, you’ll get the latest tweets and while you’re reading, you’ll get incoming tweets in Real-Time. So if your friend mentioned you, you can reply instantly.
*The second unique feature is Avatar Indicator.
Avatar Indicator is small avatars showed on the title bar to indicate that you’ve got new message/tweet/mention. Since it’s real-time, you’ll keep getting incoming tweets while you’re reading your older timeline, Avatar-Indicator will let you know who’s tweet you’ve just got, and decide whether to check it out right away.
*The third unique feature is Direct Link
I think it is obviously the most intuitive and convenient way to open a link. When you want to open a link, just click it in the time line . You can also click a username to open a profile window, click a hash tag to open a search result window. Different kind of links displayed in different colors, you can change it to whatever color you like.
The fourth unique feature is Smart Bookmark
Have you ever experienced this scenario? When you are reading your home timeline, the app notified you that you’ve got some new tweets, you click “go-to-top” button to read the newest tweets, and then you want to get back to the previous position to continue your reading. How can you do this? In other twitter clients you have to scroll down all the way to find where you were, a lot of time wasted. But in this app, “go-to-top” button will appear when you scrolling up, click it, you can got to top, read the newest tweets. After that when you scrolling down, Smart Bookmark button will appear at the corner. Click it, you can get back to exactly where you were.
*The fifth unique feature is User Level Notification
Notification for all your new tweets is meaningless, if you following more than a few users, you’ll get new tweets all the time. What if you only want to be notified when someone you most care about posted a new tweet? In this app, it’s easy. You can change your friend’s notification setting directly in his/her profile screen. You can also set different notification ringtone for your friends respectively. So when you heard a notification ringtone, you’ll know who he/she is without the need to open your phone. And you can manage all the enabled User-Level-Notification settings in one place.
*The sixth unique feature is Sleep Time.
It’s not very special but I think it’s important. You probably don’t want to be waked up by any kind of notification noise when you sleep. You can set your sleep time, so you don’t receive any kind of notifications when you sleep.
*The seventh unique feature is Last Position.
This app doesn’t save all your older tweets when you exit. Every time you launch it, the newest tweets show up on the screen. But you can retrieve your position at which you exited last time, and continue your reading, by select ‘Last position’ menu option.
Coolands for Twitter has most of the basic twitter client features, like post/delete tweets, retweet, reply, quote, send/delete direct message, subscribe/unsubscribe lists, follow/unfollow user, multiple account support (up to 3), append picture with your tweets, mention auto complete, recent search auto complete, etc.
Please give me feedbacks if you have tried it, and I PROMISE to reply all your emails.
*1.11 update
*Add static image notifier on the top of the screen, removed text notifier.
*1.12 update
*fixed silent ringtone issue.
*removed picture resize options, pictures will be resized to proper size automatically before upload.
*1.20 update
*Refined UI
*Add 'Last position' menu option. it is used to retrieve your position at which you exited last time, and continue your reading.

I ruled out Tablet,because I don't have tablet, so I can't make a tablet version.
I just received an crash report, from LG GT-540 caused by a NullPointerException, I guess that's because my Entry Activity was killed by System when user went to Browser to authorize the app.
I'm sorry for my user who use 256M RAM phone, I use Samsung Vibrant to test which has 512M RAM, I should get one.

Thanks, would you please tell me about your thought after trying it.
app has crazy potential. won't lie. but it has some few issues. most users won't pick up on the swipe to change screens. at least i think they won't. I could be wrong. There were also a few spelling mistakes in it, but overall was great. With a little polish this could overtake plume as my go to twitter app.

Of course. Swipe all the way to the left and "Favorites" is misspelled. The help screen has some minor stuff. If you want I can rewrite it all, but I'll have to do it after I wake up. When you compose, the hint is missing a space between what's happening, and the twitter user name. I also had a force close but i've been unable to replicate it so it might have just been a one time thing. But the more i play with it, the more I like it. Thank you!
You are so kind, I'll correct them in the next version.
And I definitely need you to rewrite the help stuff.
And have you notice the lanscape mode composing screen? You can type in lanscape mode and still see the number of characters, and buttons. I think its very convenient. And I didn't mention it on market description.

And it's not All-Time Real-Time, if you exit the app, and notification is enabled, it won't notify you in Real-Time.
I could do that, but that would drain your battery heavily.
will be trying this out in a while.
thanks!
I need more feedbacks please.

Nice, simple little app. Good stuff!
Here is a link for folk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.fred.feedex
Thanks for your work.
Thanks, I like this
I like the modern design and the dark theme.
A request ... In the widgets, it would be good if the user could choose the number of lines to display per item of news. To clarify, I'd like to see the main news item in bold at a user defined size along with maybe a line or two (as opted by me) of the news details. The headline alone does not allow me to understand if the item is worth opening. To get an idea of the look of the widget I intend, look at Scrollable news widget
Another thing is ... to keep in line with the latest Gmail, remove the refresh button and let the user pull down to refresh.
Cheers
Hi!
Sorry for the late answer, with the holidays I forgot it
Concerning the widget, I agree there is lot of improvements to do. This is not my priority because I would like to add some features to the application before (search, tablet support), but I'll do it and make FeedEx News Reader better and better, I just need time
Great app, thank you for this. I give you five stars in Play Store. Finally i can get rid of annoying feedly.
I have a question, though: how does exclusion filter work? Tried to apply it to some feed, seems not to work or i can't understand something. Let me explain. I read some russian news site called Mignews. The problem with them is that they don't post sport news in separate feed, and i totally uninterested in sport news. Every sport-related entry has a title starting with 'MIGsport:' and the actual title after it, so i thought i can filter these entries out by entering MIGsport: and checking «Apply to title», but these entries are still there. I am doing something wrong or don't understand the purpose of filtering?
Thanks for the stars I'm glad to see that some people really like FeedEx.
Concerning your issue, I think the filter is working but you have to know that it's effective only on futur news. The already downloaded news are kept, even if they match with the filter.
Can you confirm me that?
Well, I understand. Let me check it for couple of hours and I'll report back.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
Ok, if it's does not work, then there is chances that there is a bug inside FeedEx
I don't think it's a bug, let's wait and see. I set the app to auto-refresh every 30 minutes. What I'm going to do is to compare my timeline in FeedEx with desktop reader and my girlfriend's one. This way I'll know for sure. Will report my results later today.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
OK, tested and filtering works for newly downloaded entries! Thanks a lot!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
You're welcome.
I agree it's a little confusing, I should explain this somewhere into the app
Thank you for your application, it is very convenient! Tell me, are there plans to make a list of feeds foldable and add the ability to reduce the font in the "news"? On my Note2 they look very big.
Hi!
Sorry for the late answer
Concerning the possibility to fold the feeds, I was possible before but not today. I remove it to allow to clic on a group and to have more simplicity into the navigation drawer. For my use, the folding feature is still present into the feed edit screen to allow to move them easily into groups.
So I'm sorry but there is currently no plans for adding it again.
And concerning the font size can you post a screenshot or explain where exactly do you find the font too big?
Hi HoloAddict!
Nice program, thanks for your excellent work. By the looks of it, the only developing standalone RSS feed reader with offline mode on the market.
Some feature suggestions for this app:
- would be nice to be able to configure font and font size. I find current font the program uses is a bit inconvenient for my eyes. I would prefer the one used by gReader. But others may like the current font. Would be nice to have it configurable.
- would be nice to have per-channel settings for number of items and item expiration. Would also be nice to be able to prevent unread items from being automatically cleared (but still clear the read ones).
- would be nice to have channel groups collapsing and expanding in the channel list - this would save space in the channel list and optimise it's navigation.
- buttons "Show original text" and "See in browser" in the article reading mode - can you make them smaller or move to the header row? Or at least make this option configurable? For short articles they take half of the screen
- would be nice to have "back" button to return you from article list to channel list, and not quit the program (this might be personal. I just got used to this hierarchy: channel list --> article list --> article).
Apart from that - great app, thanks for your work!

Hi!
Thanks for the comments!
Concerning your questions:
- would be nice to be able to configure font and font size. I find current font the program uses is a bit inconvenient for my eyes. I would prefer the one used by gReader. But others may like the current font. Would be nice to have it configurable.

You're the second one who tell me this. I personnally prefer the one use by feedex (otherwise I would not have choose it ), I believe it's less tiring. Do other people think as darsh?
- would be nice to have per-channel settings for number of items and item expiration. Would also be nice to be able to prevent unread items from being automatically cleared (but still clear the read ones).

I do not want the first part (to keep it simple), but the second part is interesting, I think I'll implement it.

It was like this before, but I changed my mind to keep simplicity (code and UI) and allow some actions like clicking on a group. Moreover I used group collapsing especially for feed sorting, not for reading it everyday.
- buttons "Show original text" and "See in browser" in the article reading mode - can you make them smaller or move to the header row? Or at least make this option configurable? For short articles they take half of the screen

I do not understood this one... Why the size of these buttons is a problem ? They are always at the bottom of the text.
- would be nice to have "back" button to return you from article list to channel list, and not quit the program (this might be personal. I just got used to this hierarchy: channel list --> article list --> article).

You're not the only one to ask me this. I could do it but this is against the android principle of a navigation drawer. Look at the gmail app, the back button doesn't open the drawer. And if I do like you said, I can't quit the app with the back button... Moreover, the back button should do what it's aimed for: going back, not open a menu.
@HoloAddict: Actually, I wanted to ask for same: to place «Retrieve the full text» and «See in browser» buttons side by side. It looks better and more «polished» and takes less place.

Side by side? I agree it would be better but I'm affraid there won't be enought width on lot of phone to be able to do that...
Nice App
@HoloAddict thanks for this App. I´m using youre feed reader now for a week and it´s really nice. Only thing missing for me atm is to switch filter from exclusion to inclusion because there are some feeds where I would prefer to get only news for filtered terms. :good: :good: :good:

[APP][4.0+] Fenix for Twitter - Preview

Hey guys!
For the last few weeks I have been working on a new app, called Fenix, yet another Twitter client (yes, I know, bad timing...).
The app is not ready yet, but I wanted to share with you an initial preview and get some feedback.
The core features are already implemented, but a lot of work is still needed and a ton of other features will be added.
Here's a summary of what you get right now:
Clickable links in timeline (I've not found another app that does this yet, apart from the official client)
Inline preview of images and youtube videos
Two styles of inline media preview - small and big
The usual dark and light themes
Dedicated tablet layout
Quick access to lists and saved searches from the app left drawer
Optional internal web browser
Multiple accounts support
As I said, the app is not ready, but I'd like to hear your feedback and requests.
You can join this Google+ community to get the latest test version of the app.
Follow this thread or the @fenix_app twitter account for updates.
Enjoy!

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Trying this out. It looks pretty nice so far, and performance seems good.
An observation: In the dark theme, there's not quite enough contrast between the text and the background. Perhaps make the background a little darker, or the text a little whiter? It may already be completely white, hard to tell.
Great start. Hope to see some more options added soon.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Only thing I've noticed so far is the inability to zoom in the internal browser. This causes a few issues when viewing some pages. I've attached an example.
Still really fantastic work

this app is best!!!!
I want to translate this app to Korean.
Can I Do? ^^

Best Twitter client I've tried for a while, loving the look and feels.
Using this as my client for now, will give you more feedback later.
Great!
A button to go to the top of timeline(mine, others', etc...) should be there...
This is the picture what I said.
sounds good :good:
This is a really nice app, even for a preview release. I like the fact that the app is nice and clean. No problems or bugs with it either. Good job dev

The app looks Great, ?

I have been using it all day and have loved it, no one would know that it is a preview release. It's polished, smooth and a joy to glide through the fresh looking timeline. I currently use Falcon & Plume, but this has already become my favourite client. A few things missing to prevent me dumping the other clients, but I'm sure that they will be added as development goes on. Subscribed to thread and looking forward to updates and further development. Good Job!
App looks nice, but is it possible to make for gingerbread?
wow, I´m impressed really great looking app.
My wishes from what I see atm
1. black theme
2. twitlonger support
3. customizable colors for links/usernames
4. options to switch the press/long press behaviour on a tweet
5. once you long press a tweet to expand and see controls, there is no way to collapse it agaim, please add that
6. option for retweet to do it normal or with my reply added to it
7. possibilty to swipe to left and right to switch between items like timeline and mentions
the preview looks very promising, with my wishes above it could really get my default one and I would definitely be happy to review ot
Looks great, way better than other clients. High five man
Sent from my LG G2
Very nice app for twitter!
Need more customization, more fonctions, swipe colonne (timeline, mentions, messages etc) and translation!
I'm here if you want French translation

You can join the Google+ community here - I hope to have a first alpha version ready for tomorrow.

[Archived][App][5.0+] Frost for Facebook [Open Source]

This thread is no longer maintained. Please go to GitHub for future issues and discussions
GitHub - AllanWang/Frost-for-Facebook: An extensive and functional third party app for Facebook
An extensive and functional third party app for Facebook - GitHub - AllanWang/Frost-for-Facebook: An extensive and functional third party app for Facebook
github.com
------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Frost for Facebook!
Notice on Play Store removal
Main web page
Downloads through Github
Frost for Facebook is also available through F-Droid
Frost is a fully themable, fully functional alternative to the official Facebook app.
While being a web wrapper, Frost contains many unique and native features such as:
• True multi user interactions - More than just an option in a settings menu, Frost's account switcher is right in the drawer. You are one tap away from switching accounts, and everything refreshes on the switch so that you can view other accounts instantaneously. Furthermore, the notification service will fetch notifications from all accounts, and will let you know which account has the new notification.
• Better multitasking - Frost contains an overlaying web browser that can be drawn on top of your foreground task. Open links and notifications with a full screen view, then swipe away to get back to your previous task.
• Contextual awareness - Frost integrates additional features via long presses. Need to copy a block of text or share a link? Long press the text. Need to zoom into an image or download it? Long press the image!
• Material Design - Built for lollipop and up, Frost focuses strongly on a beautiful and functional UI, and embraces material transitions and dimensions.
• Complete theme engine - Frost contains very comprehensive themes that customize all components of the app. Frost is also the only app to support transparent themes.
• Fully opened - Nothing speaks for privacy more than being open sourced. Frost is proud to be one of those apps, and can be found on github (Link in the app's about section)
• Fixes the little things - Frost is community driven, and many tweaks are added to address minor inconveniences and give a full native experience, despite being a web app. To list a few:
   • Focusing on a text input will prevent refreshing, so you don't accidentally swipe and lose your progress.
   • Horizontal swipe can be enabled along side the viewpager swipe with a simple long press
   • Automatic bug reports are sent when a crash is detected, so even if you don't contact the devs, you are helping contribute by using the app.
Mandatory permissions used and why:
• Internet, Network State, Wifi State - Frost fetches the pages from Facebook's mobile website. It also needs the network state so as to limit internet usage when you are on a metered network.
• Receive Boot Completed - Frost notifications persist on reboot, and need this permission to be added each time.
• Vibrate - Needed to vibrate phone for notifications; this can be toggled in the settings
• Billing - For purchasing pro and unlocking all of Frost's features
Optional permissions used and why:
(these are only requested when they have to be, and are disabled until then)
• Read/write external storage - Needed to upload photos in a new status and save photos when prompted
• Fine/coarse location - Needed for the check in option if users wish to search for their location
• That's it! No privacy intrusion and no extra demands.
Permissions NOT used and why:
• Wakelock - Frost takes advantage of Android's Job Scheduler, and lets the framework decide when to run background services. Frost therefore doesn't need to constantly run in the background, nor does it force your phone to stay awake.
• Retrieve running apps - Frost has no need to access external apps or see what else is running
• Identity - Frost manages its accounts internally and uses it solely to give you access to your account. We don't depend on other personal information and we don't even save your email.
• Camera - While the camera permission can be added to allow you to directly take photos and upload them, we've decided that it would be best to allow you to do so externally and then share the photo with Frost
* Frost is a third party app and is in no way affiliated with Facebook Inc.*

Frost is primarily distributed through XDA Labs (and no longer through the play store). The app is completely free and open sourced. All that I ask is you rate the app if you like it and give me feedback if there are issues so I can improve it .
Alongside the release builds, there are automatic builds which are generated with each commit. Use this at your own discretion.
thanks!but I am realy anxiety by the time when a FB app come out with option to see only photos from friends in news feed!

Types of posts typically have different classes of attributes. You can use that to your advantage to filter out air you don't want to see. The downside is you are loading a lot of content that you don't actually need.
Is it possible (maybe with a small Substratum theme?) to change the App Opening/ Splash Screen to pure black?

Even though the app itself is fully themable, I wrote it with substratum in mind. Overlays can replace the splash color, which should change the splash screen color.
I can add options in the future to toggle this without other modifications, but they have to be hardcoded and the activity package will need to be switched.
is it better than swipe for facebook?

I've talked with the dev of swipe before. If you want my honest opinion, I can't say that Frost is objectively better (right now). My app was made about 4 months ago, and I'm a full time student. Swipe was made well over a year ago, and is now the dev's full time job. We do have different backgrounds, and my background allows me to perhaps better structure my app, but the time difference means that swipe has more features than mine at the current stage. Some features are on my todo list, but it'll take time.
With that said, our apps offer different features. I don't have PIP Videos or Chat heads, but I have a lot of the points mentioned above. Some of them are exclusive to Frost as well. I'd say Swipe did a very good job in being innovative in this field, and I'm sure Frost will become another contender among its competitors.

Are they open source? Do you have a link? I stumbled across an accidentally feature that did that a while ago, but now it isn't working. If it's something feasible I may consider implementing something.

I've seen your request on github. I still have to change some things before it's compatible, but hopefully it will make its way there eventually.

No worries dude. Yea those normal users do love to one star for reasons out of the devs control. Even though im yet to see facebook loading, it still looks beautiful. Love the transparent theme, fits perfectly with Quetzal Dark.
