Making almost a guest log in kinda thing. Read plse - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So alot of people ask to use my Samsung captivate cause that see it as a coop phone. I don't mind letting other people play around with it but I just hvlave things on it that are private to me.
So my idea is to:
Use a different launcher
A different browser
Set up a custom app drawer
Not include messaging or contacts or anything
Well that's all I have. I guess if this helps anyone or if anyone has any ideas that would be great.

[APP] FBM - The best Faceboook client I've used

I wanted to share an app I found. It's free on the market (there's also a donate version). It's an incredibly smooth Facebook client. It has a nice UI and notifications (with a wide range of refresh intervals). Best of all, it seems really light on battery. In my opinion, it's worlds ahead of anything else available. Let me know what you think.

Hmmm... I don't allow "anything" permissions to do anything on or with my Facebook. If you choose "Allow None" it puts you in a loop consistently asking you for the same permissions. Just not going to happen with me. I'll stick with the standard one.
Why does this app look so close to the official app? I mean REALLY close.

It's modeled after the mobile website. The official app only recently made this change.

Haha after googling the package name this is the first thing that popped up. This is actually my app so thanks!
The app FBM is just a wrapper for "touch.facebook.com" that has been tweaked and had a few additional features added. I've actually just published an update which will hopefully fix the notifications bug (which have been a bit intermittent for some users). I still have a fair bit of work to do with the photo uploading and sharing but unfortunantly due to work I don't get to devote nearly as much time as I would like to towards it.
@Cozmo1 - the permissions thing is a little annoying and one day I'll get round to tidying it up. I added that loop in when I added the "Upload Photo" feature so that I didn't have to deal with different permission sets between users. Some of the permissions are not even used such as the access data 24/7 one but when I first wrote it I thought I might use it.
Anyway, thanks for the mini-review Simba501 If anyone has any issues just PM me.
I suppose I'll give it a go. Thanks for sharing
Hi
I can not push the button for upload a picture.
Is this a bug?
Yes this is a nice Facebook app

I get your drift, and I can see how something like that could be really popular. I know some folks are really addicted to these social games where they take turns and play with someone. Taking that idea into a romantic direction would work, I'd think. Something on the order of "Draw Something" or "Words With Friends" that was password protected and was on the order of "Truth or Dare" or something like that might find a huge market...particularly if you could attach audio or pictures. SMS just isn't a perfect substitute because it doesn't bring in the "game" aspect or provide the same kind of "rules" or "choices".

thank you for thinking outside the box to see the kind of app i'm looking for. we do the "texting" thing. i'm looking for something different. something that could promote new ideas and things to do. something that takes some of the control away.
App for Couples
There is a new app for couples out that could provide you with something of what you are looking for.
Search iLoveNote on Google Play for Android Devices. The App is awaiting release in the App store for IOS devices.
I was also looking for a similar app. I found an app so I want to make happy to my girlfriend with my performance.:

Looking for someone to mid stock email app

I am looking for someone that can mod the stock email app in order to use the new card UI that Google is now using. Similar to what tapatalk is using now, as well as many others.
What I am looking for is for each email line to be a card, then when opening the email the header would be a card and the body would be a card.
Anyone think they can do this? For an idea take a look at evomail in the market. It has started to move in this direction but is terrible at handling email, and doesn't do exchange.
PM me if you would like to work together on this. I can easily pass ideas or test the apk, but know nothing about programming so wouldn't be helpful with that part. If this can be done by just theming let me know, as I can do a little of that and would love to help there too.
I personally think this is how the email app should look in the future...and seeing as how Google is beta testing a new email app, maybe it will be. But until then I would like to get started.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Group Messaging

Does anyone know if it possible to enable Group Messaging on the default messaging app? I tried searching the forums and looking through all the settings, but can't seem to find anything. What I mean is having everything in One thread.
Just type several numbers/names and you're good to go. I don't know if the participants will end up in one "thread", or if they'll end up in their own though. I'm afraid you'll have to try it out yourself Please report back with the result, so we all know how it works.

"group messaging" as in one thread doesn't exist. They each come in on their own thread. Looking around a lot last night I did, however, find an app that I am using as a full alternative to the native messaging app. Unlike WhatsApp and all those others, this isn't a chat service or anything along those lines. It was built to switch from the default messenger. Has full group messaging and a bunch of features. Not to mention free. Would highly recommend. Or just put cyanogenmod!

Brilliant recommendation!
Thanks!
Everything about it is perfect (except for the ugly icon), and as u say, addresses all the shortcomings of native SMS.

My only complaint is the icon as well. After using it for longer I still absolutely love it.
