Just a heads up the new Facebook app works great on the fire, I backed it up with es file explorer and emailed it to my fire. So far it runs perfect, no force closes yet!

Sweet, thanks. Do you know why I would keep getting errors when trying to backup certain applications?
Great - works a treat!
Thanks
Works GREAT on my Kindle Fire.
Thanks for uploading this.
The new version of Facebook has been working great. I don't have the issues with the force closing anymore.
Work's great and looks much better than the old version.
came here just to find this and here it is.
thanks
Works just great. However it's kinda annoying to have two facebook applications(although the original one is just a link).
How do I remove the original FB app? (I'm rooted)
Installing the new one didn't replace the old one.

Using the application Root Explorer navigate to /system/app/ folder. Then tap the Mount R/W button on the top. Long press on the Facebook.apk and then choose delete.
There should only be one Facebook file in here and that is the one that came with the device. If there is more that one delete the one which file size is smaller.

Thanks. Since I already have Root explorer installed I tried your method & it worked like a charm.
I deleted from system/app but still its shown on the menu
Then I hide the old FB icon and FB1.8 is working fine
Thanks for app!
you have to reboot after deleting it Also, i just renamed it to Facebook.apk.bak, just in case.
Darn...
When ever I dowload the APK it just tells me that it cannot open the file... Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Got it to work, I just used opera mini instead of amazon's browser. Those treacherous bastards... lol
For some reason with amazon's silk browser, it'll download but when you try and open it, it won't let you.
Use a different browser if you are having the same problem as me.

That's good that you got it to work. Another good alternative browser to try would be Dolphin. Opera Mini messes with the web pages too much for my liking. Good if you don't have much bandwidth though.

I tried dolphin, not sure I liked it. For some reason I was unable to zoom in to pages. So I deleted it and switched to opera mini. I did like the look of dolphin a heck of a lot more.

Seems to work pretty good. I like the ease. It does appear to be on all the time though but I've not seen a significant battery drop to warrant removing it. Really wish they would have opened the beta up for more people, I hated just downloading it but not being able to participate in bug posting.
Actually you can participate, Maybe not bugs, but fatal errors that cause the app to crash you can send email logs of when the app crashed directly to them. After the app has a force close it will ask you if you want to send the log when the app crashed to them by e-mail.

You have to rename the file to change it to .apk file. (at the moment it's named BejiveIM.apk.zip)
If you have file extensions hidden then unhide them and remove the .zip and save.
I was getting a "Timedout" and then "no client key" yesterday but the app started to work again late last night. I'm not too sure I like the size of the icon like others have said, but I do like its the most stable out of the clients I've tried without draining my battery.... much.

Hi, Thanks for posting this. I used to use it on my Berry all the time . . . I installed it from your link & imo it's the best IM client out there so far & still Beta lol! The feature that lets you email the conversation or post to twitter is sic ;-)
I'll definitely be buying this app soon as it's out officially.
yeah this app isnt bad at all, it seems close to trillian it will come down to 5 things...
-features
-batterylife
-speed/lag between IMs
-reliable connection
-price (seems like trillian will be free)
Im looking for the e reader app that was on the demo vid Samsung put out about a month back. Im not talking about the mag, newspaper, book one. there was also an app that only said "ebook" or something like that under the icon. It had a bookshelf and good looking animations when a book was opened (page turn etc. . .). I d/l Kobo but that does not look like the one Samsung was demoing, and kobo does not have any type of lage turn anamations. I have the US T Mobile version and it seems like it was removed for some reason. does anyone know what im talking about and does amyone have the apk for this?

Well, looking at it, it's certainly not Amazon Kindle or Aldiko. Possibly Kobo?

I d/l Laputa and it looks and acts almost the exact way the demo was showing..save for a few things..but that may be just Samsung customizing the app for its own use. Anyone here with the EU version that has this installed?
I'll have to look at the Nook reader and see how that one works..
The Laputa reader work very well and has very smooth page turning effects..so far I'm liking this one.
Here you go:
Maybe in exchange I could get my hands on the media hub from the US version. That, or maybe the demo versions of NOVA or Asphalt5 (not the market version) that came pre-installed on your device.

how do you install this? i unzipped it and its a ebook folder.
I think I know what your problem is: if I remember correctly, the .apk format is itself just a renamed .zip, so your unzipping tool is probably working a bit overzealously, and extracting both. Make sure you only unzip one level, and you'll be fine.
I found that the instructions in the last post here work.

Tried to install it on every possible way, them I installed the nook reader (eu user have to use market enabler and fake themself as american to download it) from the market.
Page turn animation and double page in landscape, and that is what I wanted from the samsung app. And it's even implemented better!

You might not be able to delete them but you might be able to edit them.. At least that is what I did on my vibrant.
Download bookmarks manager, its free in the market. You don't need root. Delete the ones you don't want, then uninstall.

Alternately download skyfire browser and go to bookmarks, delete them in skyfire and then uninstall. Stupid that they are locked in the first place.
Just tried above suggestions and still cant delete preloaded bookmarks...anything else i can try?
another possibility
once you have a browser that sets bookmarks. google has no way of knowing that you didnt put them there and backs them up. also the bookmarks are hard coded into the browser apk. so unless you edit the source or apk i dont think you can get rid of them because each time you restart the browser it reads it from the file and places the book marks there. Is easy for the modified roms to remove these so dont worry.

+1 that'll work.
You can also try downloading with a different browse. If you want to use only stock browser then download Astro File Manager from the Market. Open the app and then open its settings and there's an option in there to enable downloading of all files. That'll fix the problem. What it is is the stock browser needs to be told there is an app to handle the file type its downloading. Otherwise it'll get confused and rename the file extension or just flat out refuse to download it.
Thanks a lot

alternatively folks, you can download to your pc and upload to dbox or something. I skipped the "getjar download helper" crap. you get a straight apk from the pc download

One of my HUGE problems with this phone. Stock browser on my DNA was awesome. Chrome sucks.
Hello...no HOME button!?!? Also, I may be different..but my phone is my phone...I don't need all my bookmarks pushing to every computer I ever log into Chrome on..I hate that.
Also...it's thoroughly annoying in order to alphabetize my bookmarks I have to do it from Chrome on a desktop or laptop...
HTC stock browser MUCH better in my opinion.
Once this thing is rooted and S-OFF I imagine we can install the browser.apk from the M7

I would think and can almost say i'm sure that the intl. version of the M8 has the stock browser. It's the damn US carrier versions that don't, makes sense right kind of like leaving out the htc flashlight app too and all intl versions have this! Maybe when we get the software update with power save modes it will come or we're SOL until root and custom roms come out. Read earlier that it IS on these devices but carrier hides them and without permissions we cannot UNhide them.

It comes with chrome, which awesomely syncs all your bookmarks.
But you can download Opera, Dolphin etc. Plenty of choice.
Out of all those choices, why would you want the HTC one? Its the first thing I replace when getting a new phone.
I really like the stock htc browser also. Anyone know if it will be possible to load it without having root?

I honestly found the stock browser to be far superior than any other browser available.
I'm sure we can just use the system dump from att/tmobile/sprint (if they have one) to pull the apk

The fact that I can only alphabetize my bookmarks by logging into a desktop or laptop..epic browser fail

Opera Firefox and whatever else suck worse than Chrome.
I'm dealing with it..but the Htc browser is far superior
I too like the stock browser and was pissed when I realized it wasn't there. Chrome sucks. Been trying different browsers and someone recommended Boat browser. That's what I've been using and it seems pretty good so far.
I guess we'll have to wait until jcase publishes his root method so we have access to the system folder.

After the reboot and root kicks in about a minute later, does the Internet app then show up and work? This is my concern with this root method, it is a form of "rooting" but with the reboot feature what root options/apps/tweaks will actually stick and work?

Its also not going to work because of conflicting provider error. just grab one from a vzw rom, sign it then adb install it . it will show you the error
I initially gave up and just decided to settle with using Chrome.. until it randomly wouldn't open mobile versions of pages, crashed, and wouldn't let me log in to pretty much anything. I then gave up and started using Firefox.. I do still like the stock browser better, but seeing as how I don't have it, Firefox is doing the job pretty well for the time being.
Still hoping someone can make this apk work.I know this is a dumb question but what prevents this apk from being able to be installed like any of the play store browsers.Is there a way to modify it to be installable.
