[Q] Facebook places

Hi guys, done a search so don't think this has been asked before. Has anyone managed to get facebook places working reliably on the hd2? From my initial hunting around I've been trying various html5 enabled browsers with intermittent success. Any advice appreciated.

I'm sure I've read they have to support HTML5, so anybody know which ones do. HTML5 is very new and AFAIK there is no browser for WM with full HTML5 support, there may be some betas with partial support, they would need the geolocation part of HTML5 to be implemented. I'm about to try Iris now
maybe this'll help some of you (PM by Xenton; thanks!):
I couldn't post this as I'm new here and it has links so here ya go:
Right been at this most of the day now, the most promising course of action would be to google gears which adds geolocation functions to browsers. It only works with very specific browsers though, one being Opera Mobile 9.51 (Presto build 2.1.0+) it's available via Opera's FTP site at ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/951b2 download "opera_v9.5beta2_gears.cab" and install launch the browser then goto gears.google.com and click install. It will prompt you to reboot your phone. Now relaunch the browser and navigate to touch.facebook.com try to use places, you should get a warning that your location information is being accessed via gears, click okay and you should be good to go.
I got as far as a suggested list of places for my location but nothing on the screen would respond.

It's been a while since I was trying to get this to working and I gave up, so this information may not be up to date but there were no apps that worked with places, the touch.facebook website did but needed a browser with HTML 5 support, I tried many browsers, finally a combination of browser and addon that should of worked but didn't. I think I'm correct in saying android and iPhone have browsers that work nicely wptg the Facebook touch site but WinMo has neither a browse nor an app that works wptg places. I did give up on this a while bin now, and would love for someone to tell me I'm wrong...
......EDIT: It works!!! I installed 4.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6392459&postcount=2 (this is the page the download app button on their facebook page links to) and it prompted me to update to the latest version and then, places was working, just like that amazing, I'm well pleased. Also had a play with the latest better, kept freezing and crashing but it looks very promising, an awesome app!
yeah i was using it for places but now when i go to places it locks up
It's still working for me, try uninstalling and they reinstalling, that might fix it, it is a beta still and is not rock solid stability wise yet.

[GUIDE] Install Kindle UK using Linux

If you want the kindle, here's how using linux, works with latest WebOS.
1. Download & install the Palm SDK for linux
2. Just download the app file here.
http://bayfiles.com/file/RB7/oE4hSN/com.palm.app.kindle_0.11.499820_all.ipk
Go to the folder you downloaded and type this command while connected with usb cable to your touchpad, or just install the app any other way you know how.
palm-install com.palm.app.kindle_0.11.499820_all.ipk
Thank you, works perfectly. I put the ipk in my dropbox and installed it with preware without bothering with usb. It also syncs with the Amazon.co.uk accounts without a complaint.
Kindle App still available
As per title,I have searched everywhere,googled it.It was once available but i cannot for the life of me find out to where to download it from.
Any ideas?
Thanks
It has been withdrawn in Europe ( I think) but the US beta version can be had. If I remember correctly I downloaded it from webosbuzz and loaded it using webOS quick install through my desktop. You can still use a UK Amazon account to buy books despite the way the app was obtained. I'm not at home just now so I can't confirm that's where I got it but if you can't find it there post again and I'll double check.
I can't find the .ipk on the site you mentioned. If it's allowed (surely it must if it's a free app) would someone be able to post the updated .ipk on here?
This is the link to where I found it. XDA doesn't seem to allow me to upload it directly
http://www.filesonic.com/file/1779584324/Kindle.ipk
If that won't take you straight there then the link was from Webosbuzz within the HP touchpad apps forum. That particular forum is private so you have to creat an account.
Good luck.
Ps the app seems to work ok. I have been able to get books from Amazon uk- no sideloading though.
Found the newest version: http://hotfile.com/dl/128523150/76e47a4/com.palm.app.kindle_0.11.499820_all.ipk.html
The page turning makes all the difference.
cheers, I'll try that later.

I found this version much buggier than the 0.10.494660 version - it tends to give a blank white screen much more regularly than the older version gives a blank grey screen!
thanks dude, precentral keeps taking down the ipk everytime someone posts it

That is quite some high horse your sitting on fella. It is easy for you to say that when you live in a land where the kindle app has not been withdrawn. Us euro users just want the same services that you have, after all we did pay more for our touchpads than you guys ever did.
It's not theft, it is digital liberation.

Multiupload Help

I would like to update Brian's NT apk, but the link takes me to multiupload, which I haven't got a clue how to use? I see his apk there, but there are so many download buttons. Do I have to register to get his apk? Sorry, that I am so new to this forum. I did forum search but did not get how to use that multiupload.
Thank to whomever who answers such a stupid newbie ?.

just click on one of the download links, they are all free. the only reason why you would need a premium subscription is to get faster speeds and better features. i doubt u need any of that since the app is like really small in size anyways.
i recommend using the mediafire link if available
Brian's NT Hidden Apk --MultiUpload
First, thank you for responding. I"ve tried most of the download links on that Multiupload. They take me to their sites; file not available. Mediafire is not there? I really like Brian's apk, but I downloaded it when he first invented it; and he has added to it since then. I like to get his latest version.
The majority of those sites are shutting down in response to Megaupload getting busted by the DOJ. The other sites are stopping their filesharing so that they too don't get seized by the government and the admins/owners arrested. There MAY be 1 or 2 still running..but its hit or miss now. here is an article on it from engadget...http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/23/in-the-wake-of-megaupload-crackdown-fear-forces-similar-sites-t/
but...Anonymous is starting their own site "megaupload" type site...i'll let you find that one out by yourselves But it will be based in Russia outside US jurisdiction.
Ok, thank you for answering. Any clue how I can get Mr. Brian's NT hidden setting apk?
Here ya go. Lemme know if it works

If anyone is interested adfree can also be downloaded directly from the developer's website - adfree.bigtincan.com/adfree.apk. Unfortunately as I'm a new poster I cannot post the above as a URL.
Can i with this app ignore browsers ? I want ad free without browsers, it's possible ? If yes, how to ?
thank you very much...

question. I installed this yesterday, everything is great, up until i tried playing anime videos from my dolphin browser and i cant play those videos anymore, tried to uninstall this app and even the browser and still cant play videos, the site will not play the video if there is an adblocker. What do you think can fix this?

If I understand your situation correctly, you:
Installed AdFree
Used AdFree to apply the custom hosts list
Had problems with playing videos from one (or more) web sites
Removed AdFree
Continue to have the same problems with playing videos
If this is roughly the sequence of events, then you should not need to un-install AdFree.
In fact, uninstalling AdFree probably left your hosts file in its modified state (with ad-related sites still blocked).
Instead, you can click on the Revert button in AdFree. This will return your hosts file to its original condition. This also ought to restore joy to whatever web sites are finding AdFree disagreeable.
This should allow you do run ad-free most of the time (click Download & Install Hosts), and disable ads just long enough to view the videos you wish (click Revert).
Hi all. I see this thread has been quite for quite some time. I am hoping someone can help. I have been a user of AdFree for a while. I noticed that one website I frequent is impacted in that I can no longer see the comments section of that particular website. I added the domain in question to the "white list" but that hasn't helped. Can anyone who understands this sort of thing help? I love the functionality it provides, but not being able to comment on my favorite site is an issue. Anyone? Thanks!!
@ShermCraig The workaround I use in these rare cases is to open AdFree, and tap the "Revert" button. Then I can do all the usual stuff on the offending web site (or app). After I'm done, I once again open AdFree and tap "Download & Install Hosts" to regain ad-protection.
Yes, it's ugly, but it is actually pretty quick, but I did promise only a workaround, not a solution.
Question: What do you mean when you say "added the domain in question to the 'white list'"? I don't see that AdFree supports any kind of whitelisting.

I've actually done this and yes it does work temporarily. Unfortunately (for me) I visit the site so frequently that it becomes too much. Trying something else.
In answer to your question: http://adfree.bigtincan.com/ - log in, and there is an exception list.

App and Mobile Site Question

Hi all,
A quick question, couldn't find anything online...
Is there a way to turn off the feature that suggests downloading an Adroid app for the website your visiting?
Normally when you browse to certain sites (e.g. LinkedIn) from your mobile browser, it redirects you to a new landing page suggesting you download their app, normally with the option to "continue to mobile site" on the same page.
This is probably the actual sites recognising you are on Android and adding the page themselves, but would really like a way of turning this off/blocking this ability. If I wanted the app, I would download the app myself!
Cheers

I didn't think it'd be doable easily
So, the website you visit, uses Java to show the extra landing page when it notices you're on android, nothing to do with browser or android itself?
