[Q] facebook update 1.6.0!! New 'Pages' feature...

There was a facebook for android update this evening. It said 'added pages', however I dont see that feature anywhere in the new update. Is any of you seeing the pages in your new facebook update?

Video uploading is now supported too. Where is that?

that sucks. I always wonder why iOS fb app is superior to Android fb app.

This is the worst android app, nothing more than a web app.

video upload can be found by tapping the camera at the top of your newsfeed.

Yeah exactly.... many users( even me as a page owner) were thinking if their efforts could be way easy on it... but it didn't helped... this application dissapointed me in many things while using it for friends even.. this application has many limitations which need to be solved out with a new user interface may be... But I was looking if page managing could be easy on it. But no! it has just enabled viewing of page yet... I can't make any post as a page there... and the link sharing is even not enabled.. which for me is a very important feature... this application sucks..!!!!

You can view a "Page", but have to find it your newsfeed first. Google it for more info.

Why invest millions of dollars improving a product that most people will use no matter how crappy it is? Besides, the less time people spend using the mobile app, the more time they can spend on the full web version, where the advertisements are.

and is it me or does the widget use up more battery now?

This feature was available in previous versions too. If you saw a post from a page you could view it. However there wasn' t a dedicated page feature to view pages whenever u want.

[Q] Widget to tweet

I'm looking for a widget to allow me to post to twitter. All of the twitter apps that I've tried have widgets that show timelines. I just basically want a box to type in and post. Any suggestions?

Plume..

Android Pro Widget is the best social network widget on the market. It's better then Plume. You can use apw for twitter, facebook and more. It also have different themes that you will like. Try it out.

Bah you name stealer! Jk
Haha cant help but derail since ive never seen you around. But im about to try the app you suggested. Even though 12 posts in 3.5+ years isnt impressive. Maybe you speak from experience.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I tried out all of the suggestions and decided to stick with Plume. Even though it doesn't show you the tweet entry box until you click on the widget's icon, it works out to be the same number of clicks (or I guess I should say "taps") as when you want to type in the text area of widgets that do show you the entry box. So, I like Plume's the best and, of the ones that I tried, I liked Android Pro Widget the least.

Lol. That been my nickname sense I was lil. I thought I was the only Kwes. I like your work so I'm not mad we have the same name.

[APP] Google Now Alternative - Maluuba

I'm currently running the latest JB MiUi which I thought would have a working Google Now app, negative. Today I came across this baby, Maluuba which is an alternative to just that!
Direct Link - Maluuba v.1.0.3 (thanks frenzyboi)
I've tried it out for myself and love it!
It's even better than Google Now in my opinion.
Have fun, hit thanks

Very pitty it is just in U.S. (( Would you provide the apk to try it outside this continent?

Hey, glad you found our app! You're right, that would sketch me out too, we definitely don't share your google contacts with anyone ! Here's a post that explain what we actually do with all the permissions, but i'll look at getting our privacy policy updated asap to reflect that!

Just started playing with this today. Very nice work. And thank you. Not sure it's a replacement for for my g-now, but it is certainly a nice addition to it. Thanks again.

Very nice.....
I like this app byw Google now...
Wish it talked to me like Google now not conversation although that would be cool just like the weather and definitions etc
Love the music player integration very nice.... The theme feels win7 to me..... Eh...
Overall I like pinned it to my swipe up gesture

I am unable to download from the Play Store. However, I can install and use the direct link-ed apk :/ Weird.

It's more like a google voice search/siri like than google now?

Works for me
I'm currently at GB so haven't probe Google Now, but this works really good.

its updated today current version is 1.0.3 includes widget now, can you somehow post direct link for the new version as you did before, thanks!

Maluuba v1.0.3
https://www.dropbox.com/s/alsf0fait706khv/Maluuba v1.0.3.apk
What's in this version:
Thanks to your great feedback we have now included a Widget! The widget is available in 3 different formats to best suit your preferences.
More updates:
- Physical Search button now includes Maluuba
- Various Bug fixes to improve performance and stability
- Improved search queries (Bing will only be used when you explicitly mention it in your request)
To be released soon:
- Multiple Calendar support
- Adding a Settings page to allow you to set preferences (metric system,etc)
Thanks if I helped

This is impressive. I installed it on several phones. I cannot wait for more updates. on my nexus this is getting as much use as google now is. Still some bugs, but I love what s been going on so far.

Big thanks for this app.Works great and looks great also.Just one thing, any chance to have a choice between Farenheit and Celcius degrees in the next version?
Unless I can`t see it in the current 1.0.3 version.
edit:// Nevermind, found it.Just tap on the actuall temperature.

Try it, but seems useless outside USA, and my bad english does not help.

[APP][2.3+] dreamZMP3 - the first and only indie mediaplayer for android

Hey Guys,
i'd like to introduce the first and only indie mediaplayer for android - dreamZMP3!
dreamZMP3 was first released in February 2012 and has been improved since permanently. The current version (1.2.7) is almost bugfree but still gets improved updates weekly.
The basic idea of dreamzMP3 is that user can co-decide on the further development process and can contribute their ideas.
For this purpose there will soon be the forum back online (i got some problems with my subdomainhoster, deleting my last forum, so there will be a "real" domain hosted) where users can discuss and suggest features.
At this time there is just the Facebook-Page online where this can be done.
Further more there will also be the Dev-Blog back online on Tumblr this time, where i'll document the development process.
If you'd like to support me in developing apps for android (i've plenty of game ideas ) i would be delighted if you have a look on dreamZMP3 (the Beta Version is FREE).

do you have a link for us? im still searchkng the perfect player

Found this through the Facebook page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00771I11A
As much as I wanted to try the app out, UI is incredibly important to me and this app definitely needs an overhaul in the UI department (assuming the screenshots from that amazon link is the app in current form).

Here are all relevant links:
Google Play
Amazon.com
AndroidPIT
Facebook
Google+
Dev-Blog on Tumblr

The UI has been improved permanently (yes earlyer versions looked more bad ).
Currently i do the graphics using Photoshop but sooner or later i want to implement a real 3D OGL Interface.

Was lagging and force closed several times on SGSIII running JB. Plus it needs to read folders.

Hmm, sounds strange... If you can tell me where it force closes i'll have a look at the code. Normally it should not lag on a SGSIII because the SGSIII CPU should handle dreamZMP3 with no problems (the weakest test device i use is a Xperia X8 with 600 Mhz). I'm still working on a Folder Browser and probably implement a "alpha folder browser" (a simple file browser) in one of the next updates (would be complicated implementing a Folder Browser in the existing MediaBrowser).

Well I thought it would be a cool idea for a root store type thing, like a market for root apps only. And I thought maybe I could give it a go at at least making a template app and maybe I could get other people to join in or something idk.

You mean like Cydia for iOS right? I can't tell if you mean a type of Cydia Store, or a just an app store. I also had an idea for this a couple weeks back.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

I don't know what that is but like what I had in mind was a app that has categories etc for apps, and it would be like for root stuff, like root apps or apps from people on here and other forums, to kinda localize everything into a easy to navigate spot so you don't have to search a huge forum for a download to someone's app or have to search play store to find the right root apps, because to me finding root apps on play store can be a pain.
But lime I said its really just a idea and it would be a little difficult to get going and make actually happen.
Also a app where its like daily/weekly updates about peoples stuff, but drippler kinda does that.

I might make this app this weekend. The UI would probably be terrible though. If I made this, it would have a ROMs section, tweaks section (mods to system and stuff), an apps section (root apps only), and an App Developers section (apps that started on XDA or another Android Forum, or just apps that I think are cool but are not on the play store. Once I know that the app works and can successfully download and install apps, I will work on the UI to look like the Play Store, except with the Holo Blue accent instead of the green one. It would be my first app, too. I'm also learning Android Development by Team Treehouse, and they show how you can make an app access the internet and pull things from it (which is saving the apk, and then installing).

u would need permission from xda and it's better that they make it.
xda devs don't only make root apps also having roms would be expensive and unnecessary because they'll have to handle a boatload of downloads and space to store all the roms when file-sharing sites work just fine what would be better is u subscribe to a Rom and get updates and links etc from there...
Anyways
Where did u start learning?

I started learning 2 months ago, and where I started learning was at my school. I can stay in my schools library after school for 2 and a half hours and that's when I learn android development. I have Eclipse and the Android Emulator working fine on the computers over there (with permission of course). I found team treehouse when watching a tech video on YouTube, it was an ad and I clicked on it.
