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
So on my Nexus 5 the Google Messenger app doesn't show my conversation threads! Does anyone know a fix or an alternative SMS app that's similar to it? I really love the different material design colors it has for separate conversations
Can you post a screen shot to see what you are talking about?(and black out any sensitive information)
I'm using Textra
Remember everyone, the stock messenger is in the play store.

Dark version
Messengers consistency to display messages gets better when battery saver is switched on. For some reason the animations cause it to glitch and not display the conversation thread. I'm happy with it for now but I hope it gets fixed soon.
Are you on a ROM? Make sure you don't have privacy guard enabled on it.
upgraded from the S4 on Verizon, have a few questions
1. how do I draw on screenshots/pictures now? I couldn't find an option to in gallery edit or google photo edit.
2. how do I see a text notification (an envelope) on the status bar of the lock screen instead of Verizon Wireless and the first part of the text message?
3. how do I disable the 3 buttons from lighting up?
4. which is better, Music or Google Play Music?
5. can I change the Messages theme back to blue and yellow bubbles or better yet custom bubble colors? I do not like the orange and white cremesicle theme
are these things even possible?
1. Apparently you can't. I was lucky enough to have this feature on my Moto x (Motorola gallery app). Try using a different gallery app (quickpic or cm gallery maybe?)
2. Probably can't get rid of Verizon wireless. I haven't played with it enough to even notice what appears, but doesn't the notification appear on the lockscreen? Just curious, why do you need it in the notification bar?
3. You can't, unless you keep the power saving mode on at all times. This bothers me too. Pray for root.
4. I pay for Google play all access. This way I can stream music from my computer as well as use the streaming service (like Spotify). For this reason, Google play music is invaluable to me. I've actually never used the regular music player on any phone. I never got into storing music on my phone.
5. I tried making the messaging app more appealing, too, but I guess you can't. I use textra, and have for a long time. It's pretty simple yet customizable enough to make you happy
Verizon GS6
Number three is all I really want. They really need to add an option for this so we don't need to use power saving and we might not get root.

Hey guys,
I created a Facebook app called Touch which does currently have the most customization I ever saw in any alternative Facebook app. And I tried many others.
You can enable a full-screen mode, replace the Bottom Bar with tabs and also text tabs, remove the toolbar icons, set custom colors and many other things (like enable an AMOLED mode, tint the navigation bar etc). It also has a special internal browser called "Focused Browsing" and a feature I call "Stories" which helped me rearrange and clear out photos in my gallery while also supporting me in getting posts and pictures ready for Facebook. What I really recommend is also trying out the "Native Posting" feature. If you have the official Facebook app installed, you can post stuff in a native UI that is full of animations and looks and feels great. What I personally also use often is a feature called Tickers which enables me to use Facebook without ever leaving other apps, it works similarly to Chat Heads and is available for all time, notifications and messages. There is actually even more to talk about, I'd really suggest you to try it out
Here is a YouTube video:

Have you already tried it out?
I will currently check this ou. This seem great for who love personalization like my friends
Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone would want to do a favor for most of the users out there (including myself) that would like to be able to toggle the flashlight from the notification bar, so for example I use Snapchat so do a lot of other Android users but we don't get the option to use the Front Flash in these apps, we contact these apps wondering if they can implement it into their apps but they don't ever reply back to you and never implement that into their apps, so I was wondering if someone could make just a small app that would allow a user to toggle the front flash so we can use it in apps such as Snapchat, Instagram, Messenger, Skype and so forth because for me I have the Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro and I literally haven't found a single app that you can use to toggle the front flash in the apps that you'd like to use it in or even use it general, so if someone could make this and place it on the app store or leave an apk file so that we can have access to it that would be nice and everyone that would like this opportunity would love it too.
