Get it while it's hot! Looks like they're finally stepping it up.
Edit: Also improved Facebook API so hopefully Facebook-integrated apps won't be so bad now!
so far it seems to be a good upgrade
downloading now... lets see how these god d*** notifications work...

if we actually use a sense rom this app is the most useless thing we can have on our phone if there is no chat feature on it... i mean really... even the iphone facebook app have chat... how lazy are they to not implement it to android... i dont get it.

How does having a Sense ROM make this useless? Other than contact integration and image uploading, what the hell does Facebook for HTC Sense do?
The notifications don't work for comments. That sucks. There is a app called f-plus that will give you notifications and Go Chat will take care of the fb chat.
I am sick of having 3 apps on my phone for the job that one app should be able to do.
On top of all that my post through the "official app" are not posting on the news feed. If anyone can chime in on that it would be very helpful.
still no chat and still can't poke! Among other things..The bottom line is If I have to open my browser to do anything then its a FAIL! Why have an app if I just need to open my browser at some point..
I just can't believe how they keep dropping the ball on this!
i can view comments from notification in the app so i am confused to as what is not working besides chat
Yes but it does not notify me on the notification bar if some one post on my wall

I tried downloading from the app store. It downloads completely and while installing it fails. It gives me an error saying it was unable to perform the install. I tried to uninstall the present version but the uninstall option is grayed out.
And also sometimes , the appstore takes a while to download. Sometimes I have to restart my fone in order for the phone to start downloading the apps.
Any help is appreciated.
I get notifications on cm6.
Sent from my supersonic yea....
I just wish you could tag photos with the app, my gf's iPhone can ... they just need to make the app on par to what the iPhone has already been able to do...

im ok with no chat since i dont use it, love that i dont have to use browser to reply to notifications, now if i could only edit uploaded photos(rotate) i would be satisfied.
Hmmm I don't like the single-sign-on feature because now all apps will have access to my account by just using FB API? not so good...
Still needs small improvement but they're stepping it up.

It will be listed in the app's permissions. Don't go downloading apps that you don't want to access your Facebook account.

If you're rooted, use Titanium Backup to uninstall the system copy of Facebook, reboot, then download the Market version.
What bloatware from this Samsung 4g have you deleted without issues?
I have gone ahead and deleted:
Accounts & Sync
Add to Home
Audio Postcard
Amazon
Kindle
Car Home
gogo
Inception
Y Finance CLock
Slcker
Visual Voicemail
Backup (I think this is the contacts backup thing)?
What else will you remove?
Moved to general as not android development
I can't remember exactly anymore; however, besides the backup and sync apps you listed most of those I can confirm removing and being OK. I didn't remove things I did not know what they did, at least I thought--that's a whole different story with gtalk. Removing gtalk anymore doesn't seem to be so detrimental as it used to be back in the 1.6 days of android; it was, however, super hard to find the apk to reinstall which i found here. I reinstalled gtalk because I wanted to be able to easily chat with my daughter, that is the only reason I found I wanted to install it for.
Sitting on ~100megs internal storage atm with 74aps. I really think a custom rom and partion could get me more open space. Oh, and I only froze the wifi voice calling app. My home wifi isn't a strong enough signal to support it all the time--cheap router I suppose--but I never know when I may get a new router in the future that would support a good enough signal for it. Being that the app is frozen--meaning that it is semi-uninstalled--system still operates stably.

Titanium backup, it's in the app store. I do believe you need to be rooted though to uninstall those apps as well.

Ya you definitely need to be rooted. How is everyone getting rooted? I don't have ODIN, nor know how to use it, nor a windows OS.

Just hook your phone up with the drivers already installed and in usb debug mode from the menu... >menu > settings > applications > Development > usb debug mode. then just run the program and click "root" and it will take care of it for you
How do I add some of the bloatware apps back on to my device? Tried adb pouch from android commander and says I'm not rooted but I am after I checked with "root checker" any advice?
Adding the bloat back depends on how your removed it...TB can create a backup then remove it for you, you can us adb to remove it, but then you'll need to download the .apk files for the bloat you want to add it back in.
I believe the bloat is available for download in the development section.
Well, I searched around a bit, but the thread that it was one got closed...stuff got deleted...etc. Perhaps a bit more search, or someone can repost the bloat.zip.
ugh i messed up and deleted some live wall papers now it wont let me use live wall papers, how do i fix this? I tried unrooting phone so i could factory reset no luck.. i tried to use the backup files that i used for TB but it keeps giving me a error message, so if someone could help me please! i would appreciate it.. i didn't know i couldn't delete live wall papers, lesson learned
yo root the phone and flash it with K1c again if you are using that rom
I have rooted my phone and began to remove bloatware with titanium pro. I have removed some of the apps I have seen listed by other but I think I have a problem here. The sync icon just keep showing. I dont think I did anything else besides uninstalling and deleted the backup for some apps I never use and was sure they wouldnt cause problem. Please help. Thanks!

Is the DriveSmart system unsafe to remove?
I remove drivesmart every time I flash a ROM. Its a worthless constant running app I don't want.
So, no its not unsafe to remove.

DriveSmart is safe to remove. Just don't touch it in your Settings, or else you'll get a FC. It remains there even after removing it.
I would also delete backup.

Why, exactly? The only thing that happens when you remove it is that you can't access Drive Smart settings.

I think someone in another thread mentioned that it caused problems with another app or got force closes.
I removed DriveSmart and the only issue is that under Android settings, the tile for DriveSmart is still there and if you press it, you get a FC. That's the only problem I've noticed in the past 2 months.
Hi there,
i just rooted my htc sensation and put the cyanogenmod 9.1.
It is really great but i have some questions:
-the Barclays Banking app don't work cause they blocked the access to the root phones, i found on the forum some [how to] for the S3, but didn't work for the sensation, do you have any solution for that?
-the sync of the address book with Facebook and twitter is no working, Ok I know that Google prefer that we use Google+ and don't add this feature in his own system, but there should be a solution, some API to flash in the firmware, or things like that..(i don't want to use apps like, syncnow, friendcaster ecc)
Please answer as soon as possible to my questions, and really thank you so much in advance for your patience.
Ps Sorry for my bad English

Hi there I don't know the solution to your first problem but I do for your second :victory:
I often come across situations on ROMs when there is always those one or two apps I know I wont use so I use a application called Titanium Backup to 'freeze' them. You need the paid version to be able to freeze apps so here's a link to it via the Play Store CLICK ME
BUT if you're a cheapo like me go to a website called APK MANIA and then search for "Titanium Backup Pro 5.6.0 APK". I would give you a link to it but that is against XDA regulations.
sorry maybe i didn't explained really good. i don't want to freeze application, i want to know if there is a method for sync the facebook address with the telephone address...as the photo, the callendar, ecc... as it was on the htc sense..
Sorry, but as i told my english is not really good.
THIS could be your app to sync facebook with your contacts. I do not know if there is any mod/update or anything you could use instead of applications.

So basically when you go to accounts and sync in settings and you select Facbeook you don't have the options to sync your different things?

well, actually in account&sync everything is marked(whatsapp,facebook,google+ ecc) but the sync for the facebook photo doesn't work, now i'm using friendcaster, but i really would like a better implementation as the one of the htc sense, (maybe there is a method to flash only this thing) or at least an app that allow me to select manually the friends with the photos (as haxsync, syncnow ecc..) but this is the method that i am using riht now with friendcaster...

Actually you are violating the xda rules by giving instructions on how to find warez, even without a link.
There are plenty of free apps that can freeze other apps. Dont come here showing how someone can get one of the paid ones for free...link or no link.

Hello!
I am using Tipo on stock ROM firmware .22.
I have already deleted some apk using Titanium Backup.
My goal is to delete all unwanted apps. For example I deleted Twitter.
How far can we go?
Anyone deleted already Facebook?
