Most of the time when I press the native gallery app, its blank. I exit and press it again, still blank. Sometimes I have to reboot to get my folders to appear.
Sometimes I press the gallery app and my dropbox folder appears (or any other one of my folders), so i exit and press gallery app, after several tries my other 5 folders often show up. Other times its a different folder that shows up, maybe even a couple, but only about 33% of the time do i press my gallery app and have my folders show up on the first try
Do I have a defective device or is the stock Android 2.1 update 1 just not a stable operating system?
I havent read anything from Google regarding the gallery app other than that it uses lesser image quality than the older versions of the app. I like the 3d feel and the image movement in the gallery app, but id rather have the older version that let me look at my image/video folders. Since I have a stock Nexus, is there a way for me to remove the broken native gallery and install and older version? thanks
I've been having this happen fairly frequently with my stock N1 as well. Kind of annoying and i'm not sure what eventually makes the photos/music load. I usually exit, reload, or look through the camera app to find them.
are you using a task killer..?
could also be sdcard issues.
No task killer. And I recently had an sdcard go bonkers so I'm using a new one at the moment...
install an app called SDrescan and if it happens again just run that app...the files should show up afterwards.
I recently moved from a Sense rom to a Gingerbread rom, and it's been working great. The 3d gallery was a little slow at first, but it caught up to speed and worked fine. All of a sudden now, half the folders have broken thumbnail previews, and within folders only some pictures load. I have tried clearing cache, a fresh rom install, and checked my SD for errors but nothing works.
Any help please?
Hello, I read this forum daily but not participate very often.
Two days ago I uninstalled facebook because with the latest update its camera process would always stay open in the background, no matter what I did.
Since then my Galaxy R transformed, it is like I got a new phone, there is no UI lag, all aplications' effects work perfectly and fast, apps open instantly etc.
I was really surprised by the difference so I thought to share it with you.
That's Facebook for you , stays in the background so you can receive notifications from them .
You can also try force app close with Settings > Development > Stop app via long-press . Tick that and you can now close any app just by holding the Back button .

No I don't care if you're anti-Apple.
I had completely turned off notifications and synchronization for the facebook app. Most task managers showed it as closed, yet I could see from time to time that it used system resources through BetterBatteryStats.
The thing is that it didn't just use memory, it made any non OpenGL animation on my phone slow.
Opening the drawer of GoLauncher? Slow as hell. Opening the weather of beautiful widgets? Slow as hell. Browsing photos through QuickPic gallery? Slow as hell compared to the stock gallery.
In the stock camera app, whenever I pressed a setting, the transparent menu with the available options would take 3 or more seconds to appear.
Since I uninstalled the Facebook app all these lags are completely gone.
I haven't seen a difference in battery though. It is just like facebook was keeping a hardware resource for itself, not letting other apps use it.
PS. The setting about closing apps with long press isn't available on the stock ROM. I think only CM has it.
Hi All
Any Ideas why my X10 mini takes so long to open apps?
There are no saved sms's and the call log has been cleared.
I've tried two task killers, the do free up RAM for a bit but even then it's still slow.
I've checked and minimised the background tasks I can find.
By slow I mean 3 to 4 secs to open an app, Jorte is an example. The stock apps are affected too.
I'm running CM9.0 and V6 SuperCharger set to multi task
Thanks

If it really works and does the things it was designed for, I will never, never install this.
Would be the final surrender and is a perversion of Android.
This does not work for me. I uninstalled FB and FB messenger, installed the 3 APKs found on that site. Logged in to FB and FB Messenger but there is no "Enable Facebook Home" option in the FB app settings. If i choose to use the FB Home launcher, i get a black background with the little circle icon with my FB display picture in it.
the resolution on our phone is 1280x800 is it not? that website lists the max res that is compatible as 1280x768.
Edit: This is on a Samsung JB DXLSE rom, maybe you will get a different result on a non-touchwiz rom
Worked for me... and I uninstalled it just 3 minutes ago Just wanted to see whether it did work. I get my FB picture in the middle and when I drag it I get a camera on the left (Doesn't work?) apps at the to along with status updates and on the right I forgot... either way it is now uninstalled.
Oh, and I was on Asylum CM10.1

I guess you need facebook camera app. Black screen for me but now works fine! Anyway ive uninstalled it because i dont want friends or unknow people as my wallpaper... the idea was great but... it's not what i want
I really don't see the point of the Facebook app. It's like going back in time, as you lose the flexibility of the Android OS, without any widgets or customization of the home screen. Does anyone else see any use for the Facebook app?

Don't work for me
The facebook app provided just gives me 'error try logging in again later' message. I tried the facebook app from play store but there is no option to enable facebook home.
Stock LSZ (rooted)
Edit : just read somewhere that facebook has just blocked the dev version of facebook!
same here when "error try logging in again "
They need to fix the FB app, not create a new one. When you use Facebook Home, it feels like using iOS, really fluid... but when you use the Facebook app, looks like a primitive java app, even the Facebook for every phone JAR its better than the stock android app....
Sorry my bad english
Can't see this catching on for more than five minutes while people test it out, the reason I use Twitter over Facebook is so I can choose which pictures I want to have rammed down my throat, Facebook is ok, but it really depends on your friends and what causes, situations and inane conversations they choose to share, and to have that plastered all over my home screen instead of my 3d fish or some other funky live wallpaper, with widgets that feedback up to date information is beyond me.

Facebook Home really sucks bad! I'm never going to use it. All I see is memes and funny pictures on my lock screen. And most of all, FB Home is such a battery hog!
after installing facebook home, it is mandatory to reboot, but will not work
used for 5 minutes and then took off yesterday, is slower than normal application
