Official Facebook app won't post a status/pic, rarely posts my comments.
Fast Pro has too many bugs
Flipster is half ass, doesn't show everything, SLOW
Friendcaster Pro wants to show me everyones games more than statuses and such.
Everyone uses something different, what's a quality Facebook app youd recommend??

Official Facebook app is fine on a modern device. It is quite big (~20MB) and uses a big chunk of RAM (~45-50MB) so on older devices, it can be quite painful to run. Simply go to facebook.com in your mobile browser, you get the same interface.
Flipster is the best of the alternatives, but the problem with the alternatives is that 1) if you post from it (and this is anything but the website or the official app), Facebook doesn't share your status with all your friends. It's posted to your Timeline, but almost nobody will see it. And 2) it won't show you all your friends' statuses and photos. Their game activity will always show up, though, as well as anything sponsored.
Most likely the fastest is TweetDeck, or maybe TweakDeck (the former, only... tweaked). The interface looks like straight up ass, but it's fast, even on crappy phones. Tested and verified on Samsung Acclaim (800MHz ARMv6, 160MB RAM, ~20MB app install space, Froyo).
Tried "Scope"? It's an all-in-one social app.

I am very with Friendcaster Pro. Works well on my RAZR, syncs well with my phone book. So far no problems at all.
FBM! I love it but its simply a mobile version of Facebook. still its easier to navigate, and it has Compatibility Mode options which it'll load "Opera Mini" Facebook interface (good for slow connection)

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.

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.

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.

Twicca is barebones, and customizable. Runs really smooth. Allows you to only install the add-ons you actually use.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I use http://goo.gl/d4gHQ
i've tried a few, but to me, tweetcaster is by far the best and easiest to use. Tons of features.
Tweetdark is pretty nice. Simple nice UI and works well.
I use the official app. It's cleaner than everything else. Plume is pretty good also, but I had an issue where the text box wasn't visible when my keyboard and predictive words popped up. The official app appropriately shifts everything up, so nothing disappears.
I use Plume but I like inline previews pics and Twitlonger
tweetdeck is better for me, it just keep it simple and has twitlonger and more
Can't figure out for the life of me how to view replies to a tweet in Twicca, does it not have this function? You can see what I mean by going to Twitter.com on a desktop PC and clicking any tweet, a nested area opens up showing replies.
Tweetcaster is my favorite because I can customize it.

Runs fine on the One S! Not sure it will make me switch from Google Currents though, Currents works pretty well since the last update.
Sent from my HTC One S
Yes, it does run fine on the S but like you prefere Google currents,since new update it runs really smooth on the S
I don't use Currents, but FlipBoard is much better than the official Facebook app, hands down. It actually loads photos, every time. The same can't be said about the FB app.
Although, I cant figure out how to customize my news sources, or types of news (Tech, Stocks, Regional etc.). Any help?

Nor the xda app to be fair.
Customization is done on the last page by touching the 'More' panel and then 'Edit'.
Hope it'll be available for tablet soon!

Don't use Facebook that often, but I found Klyph to be pretty decent
I use Friendcaster Pro is very fast and light
FriendCaster is a great alternative in my own opinion...
VKONTAKTE is way better than Facebook in every way..
vk.com
I prefer browser version over any app. It doesn't use any internal memory, RAM or cache.
Fast for facebook and atrium are both pretty good.
Klyph is best

Use Greenify to hibernate your Facebook app when you are using it.
I use Friendcaster Pro. Mainly because it's linked to Tweetcaster. I like sharing tweets between the two. The only thing I don't like is some friends posts don't come through. I have to go to browser to see everything. Even though stupid notifications like Candy Crush can't be blocked.
Friendcaster Pro
vk.com
Well, originally i'm russian so i assume it's obvious that i would use vk.com much more that fb. First of all cuz fb gives NSA full access to each person's personal info.
