Has anyone tried adding chat to Facebook app?

Why does android not have Facebook with chat. Android has been out for some time now but still nothing.
There latest update is by far the best and performance wise it actually works better than previous versions.
I don't know if its possible but has someone tried to insert chat. There is so much rom development so there must be people capable of modifying this app.

The Facebook app isn't open source.

Is there no way to modify it. Everything is possible these days

I use Pairing. Works flawlessly and also ties all other chat programs in.

go! chat on the market works well

There's a version of bloo that has chat enabled that's floating around. It doesn't have the fancy new photoscroller or inbox features, but it DOES have chat if that's what you want.

Was supposed to say Palringo. It's free in the market and works awesome.

The AIM app works really well too. Can check FB updates from within the app as well.

if you use ninjamorph you can alter the .xml files in .apk's. can't someone create a .xml file that adds chat support? Or can't someone take the facebook app piece for piece via astro and add chat support and add an icon in one of the blanks on the main homepage? that seems do-able.

[Developer] Any Interest??

***Developers Read***
I Have Four App Suggestions For Any Developers Willing To Take On Any Of The Projects!!
{Suggestion #1}.... Is A App That Can Be Run To Fix Parse Issues Sometimes Associated With Installation Of Apps, And If It Can Fix The Parse Issue, Specify Why!
{Suggestion #2}.... Is A App That Basically Asks Where On The SDCard (Or If Possible, Even Desktop) You Would Like The Current App To Be Installed, Similar To A Desktop Computer, Which Gives The Option To Choose Exact Folder/Desktop Location!!
{Suggestion #3}.... Might Be Reaching On This One, Lol!! But....
It's A Request For A App That That Makes Apps, It Would Basically Have "SIMPLE" Hooked On Phonix Options, For How Or What The User Would Like To Create!! Like I Said Probably Reaching Huh? Lol!!
& Finally Probably The One I'm Hoping For The Most....
{Suggestion #4}.... This Suggestion Is For More Options In The XDA App It Self, Such As.... The Ability To Bookmark Forum Page, Directly Return To The Last Page ( After Closing App), Upload Apps/Scripts Directly From Phone ( Instead of Home Computer), Edit Profile (Pictures), & Also Fried Request!!
Hopefully Someone Will Like At Least One Of These Ideas And Try To Bring It To Life...
Also.... I'd Like To Give A Quick Thanx To All The Developers!!

I'm not a developer, but in response to number 4. The XDA app is actually built off another app named Tapatalk Pro. The folks at Tapatalk Pro made this app special for us XDA users.
If you want a feature added, I would suggest contacting them. Best of luck on the rest!

Maybe reaching a bit if you want to create apps on your phone. Google has a tool called App Inventor that will help you create apps in a web browser on your computer:

What you are looking for is often called Rapid Application Development, or RAD. Searching for Android RAD doesn't help much, but it does show that there are other people looking for Android RAD.

Word app?

Is there an app similar to MS Word like on the WinMo phones? I used word mobile almost daily for work on my Fuze. Now I have to find something to take its place. It doesn't have to use the .doc extension, just have to be able to type up documents on the go.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found an app. It's just kind of a pain in the @ss.

Search for "office" on the market. There are a couple pay appear that look pretty nice.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

There are a couple in the works but not free...atleast I have not seen a free one. Here is an example: OfficeSuite Pro which can be found in the market. Not trying to spam anything but simply pointing in a direction to answer your question which is yes there are some android apps that work word files and such.

Instapaper

I recently started using instapaper and I love it. I think there is a great need for instapaper official android app! It has an iphone official app. There are a few unofficial instapaper apps but I don't think they are comprehensive.
I used to email links to myself...I Sony do that anymore due to instapaper.
Im interested in hearing how many of you use instapaper and if you would like an official app for it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

As much as I like Instapaper, I love readitlater more and it has an official app on most platforms. Works in very much the same way.

Yea. +1 on Readitlater... it and Beautiful Widgets and XDA are the only apps I've paid for.

Thanks guys for recommending Readitlater. Just downloaded it and this is actually what I wanted. Im still trying to figure out a couple of features. How do you download an article for offline use on your cell?
Its a great app and I love it. However, I think it should have the option of creating 'new folders' to organize your bookmarks/articles. Hope this would be included in the updates.
Overall great app.

Install the applet from readitlater.com on your browser's toolbar and just click on it to save the page to your queue.

I have done that ..but doesnt answer my questions which is:
How do you download an article for offline use on your cell?

Sorry. Lol. I completely misread your question the first time. Once you open your reading list, long press on the article you want, and select download.

Is anybody aware of an android instapaper client that uses volume key scrolling?

use 'read it later' ...much better than instapaper.

+1 to the instapaper/readitlater client request.
not one instapaper / readitlater client has the following 3 (essential) features
-volume key scrolling
-full screen
-full sync
There is definitely a gap for a quality client here, especially if somebody integrates functionality from ebook readers (#WHY-HASNT-THIS-BEEN-DONE), such as
-touch to scroll
-glide to change font (see moon reader)
-glide to change brightness (see moon reader)
-text format options
-fixed orientation
-remember location in each article
I have to say that i am very surprised no one has made a top quality client, and no reason that it couldn't sync to either readitlater or instapaper
Dev's - on your marks, set - GO!!!!
ps the best solution i have come up with is to export my instapaper reading list to epub and read in moon reader

any news on this?
is there any ereader-app that can automatically import my unread items/reading list, so i can read them properly on my ebook-reader (rooted nook touch)... can't find a satisfying solution

[Q] Edit whatsapp messages time or change time to system time!

Hello,
Me and my gf used to chat a lot using whatsapp (she has an iphone)..i finally persuaded her to change to android but she wants the threads as she has them on her phone..i have tried everything and since you cant restore within different platforms the only good way i thought is if we did a "replay" of what we have sent by looking from the chat history from email..bit extreme but no other way..
The only problem is that the app doesnt let us use the time we wish (from system) because maybe it uses time from the web! Or maybe we can alter the time afterwards ..Any ideas??
Thnx

Not sure if there is any easier way but Whatsapp Xtract could be the answer since it support WA message extraction, you can get it here.
If you know some programming skill you can just play with the sqlite database, another way would be write some script to mass change the time on the chat history/email.
Good luck!
By the way, you probably want to change your title to include [Q] so that people know you are asking a question.

Thnx i will look it up! i was also thinkng about whatsapp on Bluestacks but then again the mod in time is still an issue

I just have a look on the message history sent through email by Whatsapp, it's just a simple plain text file is it? so much easy to process by script.

Have you tried Whatsapp Xtract? Well if you are talking about changing the date on email then a simple php script would do by mass converting the date.
But what can i see from the message history sent to email is that they have 'year' info skipped, so not sure what happen to messages sent/rcvd before current year, does it have year info? well, only if you have one sent/rcvd before 2012.
If only about changing the date on email maybe i can help, just give me some picture on how it looks like now and how it supposed to be.

Yes I have looked into this program..it all started from me wanting to export whatsapp chat into android from iphone! Then when I saw I cant do that I thought I could send my chat from scratch and change the date..but then again the app doesnt let you operate if you use incorrect time.BUT one thing I never thought is one simple and better solution: Why dont I avoid this app and its limitations and import my chat conversation from email to SMS with sms to text!! :thumbup:I will combine my sms and my whatsapp into one thread and job done! GOOD THING ANDROID SMS IS SO VERSATILE! .txt .csv. xls you name it. So happy right now thanx for your feedback anyway

As it turns out viber lets you send/receive msgs using the wrong date and time so you can "replicate" past conversations from different im..respect
