So I seem to be having a problem with certain videos when I scroll through Facebook links...
This happened recently. I don't know if the news outlets are using a different sort of system or Facebook have changed something.
Can someone provide me with an explanation?
Update the android web view and try again

This is not a Facebook video. It's from a 3rd party website. You can try to view this page in chrome. Maybe it will be fixed

O! I remember. The stock Android System WebView app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview .
Yeah, maybe your videos will work after updating it and please unable it if it is disabled by default.

Ok. Now I understand. Well it's possible but not like you want, because the FACEBOOK app is developed by Facebook creators so only they can add those things to app. The solution would be to wait for upcoming updates of Facebook and they should add that feature to app. If you want to speed it you can contact facebook developers and ask to add this feature. More users will ask sooner the feature would be available.
And another way you should be able to use it go to browser and then to facebook where you really will able to use it
And press THANKS appreciate my help

Hi there!
As many of you already noticed, the new Lollipop's Photos app doesn't work without Google+.
For many of you will be not a big deal, but for me and may be others too, it's really not god.
In my case I don't need or use Google+ and for worse, it takes a lot of CPU power.
The question is if there is a way or workaround to make the Photo app work without Google+?
Greetings!

Ooop. I see now. Looks to me like the only way is to have it installed just sign out of both apps within settings. Sorry, if I had paid more attention I would have seen that you wanted the app completely gone.

Try Piktures on Google Play, nice piece of sw
The old Gallery app made my Picasa albums available on my phone. The only way to get this functionality back was to switch to Google+ and the Photos app. So I made the switch. I just didn't set up anything in Google+ and turned off all notifications.

It seems to be a nice software, bur if you want to edit a photo, it takes you directly to the Photos app.

You still need to have Google+ installed, isn't that right?
Install Quick Pic its a good gallery app,to edit and go crazy install Pixlr Express.
I never used stock Gallery since we cannot hide/exclude folders.

Oh sorry, didn't think about editing - because I always use Aviary for it (and I suggest it to you too, especially now that are giving every single add-on iAP for free!).
It takes you directly to Photos because you have only that app to edit pictures (I suppose), in my situation (I froze G+ and Photos) when I try to edit a picture it opens automatically Aviary.
Hope this can help, prego!

You need G+ and Photos to see photos and edit them, I replaced both with Piktures and Aviary And trust me, every other editing app has more feature than the stock one (Aviary, Pixlr express, PS, etc)!

What browser is everyone using after the Lollipop upgrade? I was on Dolphin, but it's very laggy and no longer supports flash. Switched to Naked browser which is much smoother, but still no flash. Trying Puffin now, good flash, but a little laggy. Main reason for flash is almost no Facebook video will play without flash. Frustrating to have to turn on my PC to watch video.
Any other browser's any good?

If you get webpages that won't load after using adaway, that you feel shouldn't be blocked, you can add it to your whitelist.

CM Browser. I had some issues with it on KK but it seems they fixed it now. It's fast, has a nice UI, a fullscreen mode, a home button and an exit button. That's pretty much everything I want/need.
I actively use adaway. It seems to block ads in apps and in Firefox and cm browser but not chrome.
Now I use lighting browser but I prefer aosp browser but it doesn't work on lollipop.
Try javelin. It blocks ads natively and has material aspects

There's a "get flash" guide thread in these n5 forums. Forget if its general or q&a.
I'm using Firefox. Is it just me or its actually slow compared to Chrome. It won't open links that readily load on Chrome.
I was a Firefox guy for the longest time, synced between my laptop, tablet and phone. But I've had it, I always put up with the lack of speed but it's just so frustrating. I can't believe reviews of Firefox when they call it fast.
I switched everything over to Chrome. The address bar isn't nearly as good as predicting what website you want compared to Firefox but it's much, much faster and I welcome that.

There's only one flash apk. Flash is unsupported on android. There will never be a new version again. We must always try to modify the ICS version.
Who knows if it will work on lollipop. I dont even think dolphin works on lollipop. Anyway, there is one apk and one guide only. If you know about it already. Then you know as much as everyone else

if you use data compression, adaway will not work. data compression makes chrome go through a different web server, thus, adaway does not block ads. opt out of compression in chrome and ads will be blocked.

Hey there! Dude, if you wanted to download videos from facebook without using third party app, try using the site "fbdown". Try search it in google. I haven't tried it personally though, but it was recommended to me by my friend.
It was purposely for the desktop though but I think you could still do the process with a smartphone by using the "desktop site" of facebook in chrome. Just type it in the chrome browser (or any browser of your choice) in your smartphone and log in. Then find the video. There's a part in the site "fbdown" that gives you the procedures on how to download using the said site.
Ps. I don't know if this will work on smartphones because I haven't tested it for myself yet.
Ps. I am still a newbie at XDA so I can't show you the link here. Sorry for the inconvenience dude.
I hope it works for you.
Wish you luck dude.
Hope I helped ^_^

I have already mentioned that the method should be of kind in which you don't have to use any other third party app or browser.
The method you have described is contrary to my query. I can tell you more convenient ways to download from FB other than you have described like UC Browser etc. which is having own built-in down-loader and whenever you play any video from UC browser from facebook or other websites even youtube, it display Download Icon. So thanks for your help, but it does not solve my problem.

But, I think facebook removed the "download" function from the app... From which I occasionally see in my device... I think they removed it when they updated the app... I'm still not sure if they removed the function from the desktop site... But still, its worth a try.... If they did, I think you should stick to the third party apps or just don't download it..
Btw, sorry if you didn't get the kind of help that you wanted from me. ^_^

Hello! Sorry to bother you again, but I have a question about ads/publicity in the device.
A month or two ago I had oxigen 11, everything was working just fine, no ads, no problem at all.
But I made the mistake of update to 12. I didn't like it and then I downgrade to oxigen 11 again, only this time the phone has ads everywhere, on YouTube, redit, even the music player or the appstore.
Is there a way to remove ads? Using another rom or system? I know I can't remove ads from some apps, but is there a ad blocker on the phone or something like that?
For YouTube I was using vanced but they abandoned the project
I hope you can give me some advice about this!
Sorry if this post doesn't belong here, or if it's wrong to ask about this, but I don't know where to ask haha

About vanced, yeah I downloaded an apk but it had ads too, I think it has something to do with my rom (even if its official) because before my first update to os12 I had os11 without any ads, or very few. Now when I use reddit, or 9gag app I get flooded by ads.
Do you know where can I find a Vanced apk that works? I would really appreciate that!
Thanks again!
