I went back to try using SlideScreen again but now I cannot view any facebook updates. It tries to display them (I assume a summary / single item) but then crashes. The full normal Facebook app is working fine.
Wouldn't mind going back to SlideScreen but this puts me off.

There's a bunch of stuff with this launcher that just doesn't work. Even if it works how it's supposed to, it's just not very intuitive. The concept is good, but the execution is horrible.

That's strange...it worked a year and a half ago. Maybe it needs an update?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

Of course it doesn't work...
First: It's a DEAD APP. Shut down by the developers. So no, there won't be any updates.
Second, stuff is not working because other apps (such as Facebook) and your OS (Slidescreen was built for 2.2 Froyo) don't work the same and don't have the correct access points for SS to talk to.
Third: Google also changed and closed off access to key parts of some apps (Gmail, calendar, etc), which complicates or closes off information. This is what ultimately shut down the project...the app couldn't get info from the stock apps to do its thing.
Was an amazing concept before it's time, and would make the Android phone a serious WIN for many people I know and work with (which it IS NOT now). Until Google and Android re-open access and permissions, or a development team can handle trying to rebuild it with other apps in mind (Maildroid, K-9, Kaiten for example), then I'm afraid it's a dream.

Way to necropost a six month old thread.

Yes, and I for one am glad the previous poster added the clarification details, regardless of how old the thread is, since I was looking for SlideScreen TODAY (having been a couple years since the last time I used it).
Not sure where people get the idea that just because a thread hasn't seen activity in a while means something useful/helpful can't be added to it.

And that is your opinion

[SOLVED] Remove facebook app "location" feature.

Hey guys.
I am trying to remove facebook's "tracking" feature from their app. The app is nice but holy crap 29 permissions? Sheesh. I tried disabling the fine and coarse locations but facebook tries to grab your location the second you start the app and by disabling those permissions you get a force close.
I am requesting people highly advanced in Smali code to help me do one of the following:
When you have location services turned off in settings, facebook does not track your location.
I would like to mod the smali code to always return that location settings are off.
or..
I would like to remove the line of code that asks for the devices location the second you start (This would be best for it still allows facebooks 'check in' and ability to add locations to photos)
I have emailed the developers of the facebook app and they completely ignored me..
Thanks all!!!!

[APP][MOD] [UPDATED: 10-25-2013] Facebook v3.7 without location privelages

Here is the latest facebook official app with location 'feature' removed.
I am not sure if you guys who use the app know this, but facebook constantly tracks your location. There is a receiver built into the app that every time you "refresh" the app (Interval settings are found in the settings menu of Facebook) it gets your location and everything you do on Facebook, post a status, send a message, upload a photo etc, your location is added and you cannot turn it off..
So i decompiled the apk and removed all locations ability. That means, no checking in, no nearby, nothing that needs to get your location. You WILL get a forced close. I am working on trying to keep that enabled while dissabling the 'tracking' featrue. Just download, copy apk to your phones storage and use a file browser to install the APK.
Hope you guys enjoy the privacy while also enjoying the Facebook app.

Good idea, but I've turned my location of and it never shows my location when posting any thing.. when I send a private message it gives me the option to turn location of.. is this the same location receiver you are disabling from the app?

This mod will possibly use a tiny bit less. But it uses so much for its Cache. So things are loaded a lot faster and what not.

Are you talking about turning your location off under settings of your phone? Well thats different. There is no way to turn it off in the FB app itself. You can turn off the location thing for your messages but its still secretly getting your location.

Sorry it took so long. XDA is giving me some security error when i try to attach anything :/

Thanks. App is working great!

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but a good app that stops location requests for any application is LBE Security Master. It will prompt you each time an application requests to use certain permissions. You can also check a box to never allow the application to access that setting, in this case it would be location.
Just search on XDA to find it, I'm on my phone and I don't think the app is on the market.

Whenever i tried using a third party app to block GPS to the Facebook app, it would cause the FB app to force close irregardless what you did.
I'll try the app and see what happens. Not sure how it goes about granting and denying access. In all honesty i was looking for something like this.

Just don't use LBE Privacy Guard on jelly bean, it caused my phone to freeze a few minutes after turning on and then rebooted and got stuck in that loop. The only way to resolve it was to use adb and remove the apps file.
The app I mentioned in my post above doesn't seem to have any issues besides that parts of it are in Chinese.

As far as I can tell it does. When I open Facebook, LBE pops up and asks me if I want to allow Facebook to track my location. It detects whether Facebook is using location tracking through WiFi or through GPS. I have not checked to see my posts to see if location is attached to them.

Interesting.. I wonder if it's blocking "locationmanager.getlastknownlocation" as well. This method doesn't access any hardware. It just reads what the last location known was. Meaning if any other app has access to your GPS and gets a lock, that location is remembered and then used by above method.
I feel much more comfortable completely removing the actual physical code no offence to your option though.
And for a thread update, I learned a new tool to help figure out what gets called where. so I might be able to add the ability to check in as well as use "nearby" in the app. And just disable the tracking!

Sort of. I know when notifications are enabled there is a service running. Also what's your refresh interval set at? If that's not disabled then that's what the service is.
If not it may just be in "empty applications" part of androids memory manager. Meaning it's dead but still there to increase launch time. I'm running cm10 and I use the "hold back to kill" option on Facebook so mine is 100 percent gone.

There is a modified play store app on xda somewhere that disables apps from even checking for updates so there is no automatic d/l's but for the life of me I can find it. I had it on my old d3 that just died but didn't have a backup of it. If u find it b4 I do PLEASE post a link or something

Titanium Backup will do it, but you need the Pro version. ROM Toolbox will also do it.

i have pro, and no it doesnt. its supposed to but it still has the option to update whenever i go into the play store.
you can detach it from the market but it doesnt actually do anything

when you download an app, make sure you do not click the automatic download, and it shouldn't automatically update. IT will ask if you want to, but not do it automatically.
you can also on your phone, slide screen to the "all" page, and right column there is a circle with a dash through (the universal "NO" sign). Click on that and it will remove it from your download history. This may help as well.
:cyclops:

Rom toolbox will also let you break links. I have used it to break apps from Amazon to use after I deleted their app. Maybe that app will work. Never tried it to not update an app.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

just to clarify, its not setup to automatically download. in the list or available updates, when you select "update all", this is where the problem is. i want to get it out of that list so i can just use that button. rom toolbox requires pro to break market links and i dont want to buy it just for that.

He is talking about the "remove from my apps" option on the play store, when your viewing your installed apps you can swipe the screen from right to left and you will see all the apps associated with your Google account. There is a little circle with a dash through it like goldsmitht mentioned, you can touch the circle and remove apps from your Google account. But it won't allow you to do it if the app is installed so you would have to save the apk then uninstall the app, remove it from your account from the play store like goldsmitht mentioned, then side load the apk and you will have the app installed and it won't show up in the play store.

Google Plays 'Add to Wishlist'

Am I going effing crazy or what? I can't add hardly anything to my wish list anymore. For over a week now.. It is getting quite irritating as I love that feature. I am always adding stuff to my wish list. Its an awesome bookmarking utility whether it was intended as one or not.
I can maybe add one or two things to the list a day, and when I do they are pretty much only paid apps.
That is exactly how Apples appstore works. You can only add paid applications to your wish list.
If they are planning to change that to only paid apps I'm not gonna be happy. That would be very counterproductive.
Sure you could just install it real quick if its paid, but I don't need apps I don't need right this minute wasting space and other resources. And also I will find a good app for my tablet while browsing on my mobile. So I will add to wish list then download on my tablet.
Every time I try to add something it simply says 'could not add "some app" to wish list'. Am I the only one having this problem because I don't see anyone else complaining about it anywhere. Nor even a section to contact Google plays support team about it.

So unfortunately looks like its happening on both. So am I alone here? Are others able to add free applications to their wish list still? Are you able to Lesalloum? If so must be an issue on my account. But this is the only issue I am having.

Me Too!
I am also having this issue. It is not a software issue, it is an account issue. I have two google accounts on my phone, and online. When I switch to the second account, on both the website and the Play Store in the phone, I can add to its wishlist just fine. But I am unable to add things to the wishlist with my primary account.
When I tap the bookmark icon on my phone, the little "Adding to wishlist..." message pops up, but is replaced by one that says "AppName could not be added to wishlist". When I go on the website and click the add to wishlist button, it says "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later." I hadn't added things to my wishlist for a while before today, but it's a pretty annoying issue.
It appears that I can install from the phone and remotely via the website as normal.

Problem solved (for me, anyways)
Well, after a lengthy back and forth and escalation to a higher support person and engineers, it turns out that they issue is the fact that the Google Play wishlist has an item limit!!!! There was no notification of this anywhere, and the error messages gave no indication that this was the case. I'm able to remove items and add new ones, but I'm pretty annoyed that this is even an issue, and that the error message don't say what the issue is, since Google Play knows exactly what the problem is.
I've attached screenshots of the error messages I received. After learning that there is an item limit, I tried removing an app. I was able to remove it, and re-add it. I then removed it, added another app, and was unable to re-add the first app.
Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
