I see there's an Android version of Instagram in the works, which looks promising.
For now, you could try CameraFX (oldie but a goodie). Vignette (paid) is also a slick alternative
Yeah those two are good but if you have ever used instagram the choices are few which makes it simplistic which is what I'm looking for

Fair enough. Have you tried Camera Effects by Swiss Codemonkeys? That may be more suitable for you
from what ive been reading, instagram is supposed to be out for Android "very soon" .... isnt it?
hopefully within the next week or two
so far Vignette and PhotoZoom Fx are pretty good
i haven't tried Instagram before but i think those android application not bad for you
In my eyes Eyeem has as allmost all features as Instagram has and is a lot of fun. It comes with some simple but very nice effects and the built in community like Instagram has.

You could try CameraFX, Lightbox and Flickr.

Real life?
The people are just as annoying but the graphics are better!
I just use Google+. Wait, that wasn't what you meant, was it. (evil laugh)

Just seen this on Engadget.com . Looks like a fellow XDA member (all the credit goes to Valcho) extracted the .apk from a demo SG3 using AirDroid.
Article :

I downloaded it today after reading the engadget article. It works very well on our phones.

It is like Google Currents, or Pulse Reader. Basically an Rss reader
But very attractive. Kind of like a magazine.
I like to use Pulse myself; I prefer function over form

Have you ever used pulse before? Basically you can connect to various newsfeeds and all you have to do is flip the screen up or down to navigate through them. Works well with Facebook and Twitter. You can also connect other accounts such as Instagram and Tumblr.

Nope.
I use News 360 for news stuff. I set it as a widget. One for Top Stories and one for Sports. Fills up a whole page. I like it.
I may check out the Pulse or Flipboard thingy.
UPDATE 10/24 -
members posting here on XDA have turned me to an even better Facebook app..
Friendcaster
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.senab.blueNotifyFree
All the features of stock Facebook app and then some.. theming and easier navigation, better notifications.. definitely worth checking out!
OLD:
Stumbled upon this searching the forums. I tried it out and so far so good.
"Fast for Facebook" is an app started by an XDA member and it has a couple different themes. It has most of the features the official Facebook app has but the major benefit is battery saving with background processes not running constantly.

I downloaded this app many months ago but at that time many features were missing. It seems like there's been a lot of progress so I'll give it another shot. I didn't know someone from XDA made it.

Yeah I ended uninstalling after a day of use. It has made a lot of progress but still not worth replacing the original FB app.

There has been a ton of progress to the app. I thoroughly hated it months ago but now it stands as a decent competitor to the official app. The only real thing I don't like is no push notifications, but I check FB often enough for that not to matter.

try flipster..i ve been using it for a while and its quite good. no frills approach to fb
I recently tried Fast and Flipster, and quickly started getting a bunch of spam email from random Yahoo email addresses, spoofed with the names of my Facebook friends.
Maybe just a coincidence, but seemed pretty fishy to me.

Nice! I just uninstall the Official FB app for Flipster. Works great reminds me of Plume for Twitter.
I've been using Friendcaster for about a month and its been solid, I like built in theme chooser.

I've been running it for about 6 months, I guess from Gingerbread to Jellybean, and it's worked fine. I like how it shows the posts more than my computer browser.

What is the best Facebook alternative in Google Play? The original one SUCKS because it takes forever to load.

an alternative facebook app, or an alternative social network?
Google plus is your best bet, great communication with people who have the same interests. Take time to look at the many guides for how to get the most out of your experience.
Sorry for the confusing title. I meant an alternative for the Facebook app

Friendcaster is the only thing worth a damn. the others suck and never sync right or post spam on your behalf.

I've found just going to the mobile site using the web browser works best for me. No apps to download and youcan do everything you need to. only thing you don't get is notifications which to me isn't a big deal.

Are you able to somehow view events in fast for facebook? I bought fast pro last night, and noticed I can't seem to see events. Lately my work friends have been scheduling their Happy hours through it, and I'd like to be able to see it on my phone without using the mobile site.

Hey everyone I just wanted to share an app I shared with the htc one crowd called showbox. It has been only available to jail broken iPhones for a long time but they have finally brought it to android. The app itself is like Netflix without a subscription and it gets updated daily with the newest movies and TV shows. Download the apk from show-box.me and check it out definitely the best app out
Oh wow. This app is good. I'm used to these kinds of apps just bringing you to websites with a bunch of malware,but this works great. Good quality too!

There was no link, just had to go to the website listed near the end of the OP. It is a nice app, some good movies are listed on there, if you download it can take time (even on WiFi) but they have been very good quality.
Thanks for sharing...is there any similar app to watch tv channels?

Herein lies the problem folks, these apps are violating copyright laws in most instances...therefore, this thread is closed as XDA does not condone piracy.
