i just want to start off by saying that "Bloo" is one of the best app for facebook out there. the developer had decide to either let bloo die or make it open source.
please respect hes work and show support if you want "bloo" to survive.
visit hes website "fbandroid.wordpress.com" or on the market. and let him know how you feel.
By the way he has release a "Preview" of the new Bloo 1.5 With Facebook Chat. (REMEMBER IS NOT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE) everything seems to be working fine for me. but there should be some bugs.
****The only way to download this app is either by downloading "ASTRO" on the market. and download it straight from your SD Card****
**BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE NEW VERSION, PLEASE UN-INSTALL WHATEVER BLOO VERSION FROM YOUR PHONE FIRST**
thanx, been waiting forever for this!
Edit: Loving it already!
I like it but I hope there is a way to hide the notification icon for Chat in the 'official' release
support the dev though....
the developer of this app has realease a big statement on hes blog.
about either letting bloo die for good and leave it as it is ,
SO SHOW SUPPORT AND LET HIM KNOW THAT U ENJOY USING HES APP SO THE UPDATES CONTINUE. AND BLOO WONT DIE OR ELSE THERE WONT BE ANY GOOD APP FOR FACEBOOK. the official facebook app SUCKZZZZ, "bloo" is the best facebook app out there hands down for android, it gives the experience that IPHONE DOES.

Absolutely, I have posted on his blog before to tell him how good Bloo is. I really hope he does keep it going. Like you say, the official app is pretty poor.

I have to, every time he announces a new release. I also paid for Bloo about a yr ago and have used it ever since.
I wouldn't mind him goin open source and see what other devs can do with Bloo.
Tried downloading this app directly to my phone and the download type isn't supported

Common issue with apk's. Typically means that the server is presenting the web client with an incompatible MIME type and Android is really picky about those.
Install Astro file manager and enable "Enable browser download" in its preferences and it will likely work. What's happening is that Astro tells the system that it can handle virtually any MIME type so the system will let you download it.
Not as clean and fast as the official app, but a good effort nonetheless. I can't figure out how to "like" something, any ideas?
Not for me so far, but I'll never say competition isn't good!
i love the bubble style chat on blow wish i can use the exact same one for sms and no i don't mean like handcent i like exactly how cartoonish bloo is.
Ok so I am confused about the chat feature... is it just enabling it in our browsers or is there something I am missing?

When you start up Bloo, you'll see it in your notification bar just go to it and it should start up the FB chat .. tested it out and BEAUTIFUL!!
BTW, aalopez10, where did you find this? I've been looking for it and couldn't find it lol
Thanks loving the update and deff will support Bloo
Sick thanks! It was only doing the chat enable/disable thing in the notification bar before but its working now.
xidominicanoix,
one of the developers have release a public beta but its not the official yet so you wont find it anywhere in the market or anywhere at the moment.
one of the developer have said that he would make a facebook fan club called "SAVE BLOO" and it will have the PREVIEW APK that i provide for people to try it out.
hes not sure if he wants to continue working on this app due to the time it takes him as he only does it on the side besides hes real job. so he wants to make hes final decision either to leave bloo die or keep working on it.
support hes blog. and join the fan club on facebook so we can keep bloo alive and received more features for bloo and facebook chat and show to the "OFFICIAL FACEBOOK APP" that they suckkkk on updating there official app.
Anyone having issues with Bloo 1.5 and Froyo? It seems like my chat doesnt go through sometimes or i have to log into chat twice... just seeing how everyone else was doing with this app...
remember that anyone who downloaded froyo manually, based on google is was a "Froyo Built test" It was not the final froyo 2.2. so that means theres some bugs. and the apps is nothing to do with the development of froyo because is not the final realease. when google realease the final froyo 2.2 and apps are updated to work for 2.2 everything should work flawless.
****all APPS have to be updated to work for FROYO so BLOO has nothing to do with it at the moment till its updated. but for now hold on and wait because "froyo" is still new OS and developers have to update there apps to work for "froyo 2.2".*** but for now enjoy
Anyone seeing issues with the chat not saving your permissions? Other than that, excellent app, loving it. Thx for throwing out the beta. Looking forward to a final release.
Great app...loving it!
Does anyone know if its possible for us android users to respond "to all" when iphone users send us a group text? Or even see who's involved in the group text? I've searched and searched and don't think there is a way so I figured Id ask here in case someone knew of a way.

Whatsapp.. That should work. Dunno. Don't use official texting. Whatsapp should work though.
And tell them to get Android. Make fun of them. Show the beautiful widgets. Then tell them to show you a beautiful weather animation on their homescreen. In they pull down the Android rip off pull down tell them it's weak, full screen. It should be easy, you know. On your little dinky screen.

Trust me. I've done literally everything you just listed. I've been an Apple user since the first gen Iphone up until the Iphone 4. Whatapp does work but the Apple user has to download it as well. I'm trying to see if I can connect with their native group text. I guess that's impossible at this point since we cant cross platforms yet. Similar to BBM on blackberries. If there is anyone with any ideas, please share.
Currently we are using Voxer which is pretty neat. However, the iphone user still needs to download it.

Hm. I make my iphone user friend use a Google talk extention. I like it.. He's going android with his next update.. Apple fanboy! I used to be... Woops...

I'm looking for the same solution. Does anyone know of an app that allows android phones to see iphone group chats as group chats rather than breaking everything down into individual text messages that way we can do a reply all rather than having to send the same message to everyone that is in the group? Thanks.
There's plenty of apps that do this. 8sms is my favorite.

Thanks for your help. I've installed the app and it looks nice. I still need to test it out to make sure it works with group text messages with iphones. But I'll update this post once I'm able to confirm that it does or does not work. Thanks

Android 4.2 messaging app does it natively now. And there's also the new Hangouts which allows for group messaging.
Android 2.3.6- 4.0.4 I've used NinjaSMS and can can confirm it works with group messaging. Again, there's also the new Hangouts app.

I'm currently trying NinjaSMS. Hangouts didn't work for my phone. I couldn't send or receive MMS which appears to be a known problem with a few phones. In addition, the 8sms app which was suggest to me also didn't work. It broke up their iphone group text to an indiviual text from each person. Therefore I still had to reply individually to everyone in the group. I'll let you know if NinjaSMS works for me.

Bump please... Anyone know a method to make it work ?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Please lock this down... Its pointless...and mostly helpless... Nobody seems to use the yahoo video plugin.
And nobody is replying .
It has never worked on nexus s . on gb,ics , ever.
This thread seems like my notepad )).. So please close it or reply somewhat .
666 views and no answer... Def the most unfortunate thread i've started.
I wish i could delete or lock it because i see no one does.
it is not of any help.
I believe the Nexus devices are not compatible with the Yahoo Messenger Plugin. Unfortunately, it's a sad result of poor management of the apps available on Google Play Store.
The reality is, Google doesn't care about the quality of the apps and probably never will, therefore developers can do whatever they like with their apps (In this case Yahoo).
It's sad that you need to get rid of a good device, like Nexus 7, just because you want to be able to use Yahoo Messenger, which is what I ended up doing.
Oh and by the way, the Ipads/Iphones are the only mobile devices where Yahoo Messenger Plugin actually works and works well.
I've had various different Android devices over the last couple of years (Toshiba Thrive 7", Hyundai A7HD, Nexus 7, Motorola RAZR) and they all suffer from issues with Yahoo Messenger Plugin.
Bottom line, you need Yahoo Messenger, get rid of Android!
I would thank you many times for replying ..but I can only pres it once .

I just tried it. It's pretty neat, but I think the the horsepower of this phone is lost a bit on something as simple as Home. What are your thoughts so far?
My question is: Can anyone use the new messenger (Chat Heads) to do their SMS/MMS? I can't, I don't have the option, I didn't have the option on my Galaxy Note 2 either. I wonder if I have to enable something on the actual website.

Just open up messenger and hut menu there a box you can check off to enable sms
It's not there, not on mine. Do you have a US variant GS4? If so, do you get that option?
I nave this issue when try to use the function "find people near you" inside the WeChat app. App simple restart after pressing button. Messages though works well. Any other have this issue?

Same here. it seems that the wechat app is not very compatible with android 4.4 and/or nexus 5 yet. It also restarts the app when trying to change your profile photo. Hopefully these will be fixed soon.
It seemed that the problem is with WeChat developer in fixing FC and problems with the Apps - comments posted are full of reports with the latest update citing kitkat 4.4 compatibility, which apparently isn't so.
Thanks for the feedback!

I had the change profile photo problem on Nexus 4 Kit Kat. After selecting "choose photo", you have to click the top-left icon(with 3 parallel bars) next to "recent", then select Gallery (if it doesn't appear by default). If you select directly without going thru' Gallery then it FC.
same on ArchiDroid 2.3.1 Samsung Galaxy S3

Hi, just wanted to add ArchiDroid 2.3.1. on Samsung Galaxy S3 to the list as well. However I do love this ROM too much to downgrade just for WeChat. Sorry ladies lol
Wechat video chat
i am on 4.4.2 nexus 5 .. wechat video call also not working and keeps restarting..
Has anyone just tried the standard QQ app? I use QQ predominantly, while my wife, who is from Guangxi Province, uses both QQ and Wechat on her her LG L9.
