Facebook Home on the DNA - HTC Droid DNA

I know we have to uninstall Facebook and Messenger in order to install Facebook Home. Since Facebook is integrated with HTC, how do we accomplish this?

Once you're rooted and either s-off or installing a kernel that allows write to system, then you use an app like root explorer to delete those apps from system/app.

Try disabling the native FB ap before you download the hacked version then reset up facebook from there. Worked for me stock dNA

The version I installed from these forums included a ~17mb Katana (fb app) apk and a ~260kb fb home apk, I just installed the Katana apk (installed over old one) and then installed home apk. It said "facebook home isn't for your device yet", then went to the fb app, which said "finish setup" and then it asked me to choose HTC Sense or Facebook Home as a default launcher and I chose home, and it works perfect.
Although I highly recommend you go into apps settings and turn on forced GPU 2D rendering for Facebook, as it lags alot without it.

I got it running (actually liking it so far ) but my messages won't show the keyboard? I can't respond. The messages go all the way to the bottom.

The Messenger App just won't let me enter text in for text messages. That's the problem. I used to the guide on XDA to install the com.orca (messenger). Texts notify and display, chat heads shows up. Just no way for me to send texts thru it.

I've been using it and as much as I don't like it, I can't seem to get rid of it....

I don't like it much either, but It is quite addictive, wonder how much data it consumes over time.......

Facebook home will not let me can't drag tool bar on the top of Facebook Home so that it is not convenient to see the miss call.And it cannot change the wallpaper,strongly hoped they improved the experience quickly.

I'm not a Facebook fan but I do like it some what

No Facebook push notifications

Is anyone else seeing this problem? I don't get any notifications when someone posts on my wall or anything.
Sent from my EVO 3D using XDA App
i noticed that also but then i checked under sync and it was set to ONCE A DAY
Yeah but on my wife's epic its instant. Also sync is not push, so the sync time has nothing to do with the notifications. In fact the sync time is just for the news feed

Touch wiz and Sense aren't the same, so touchwiz might have push facebook notifications. Do you have the facebook market app installed?
u need the facebook for android app, the built in fb for sense just updates friend stream and contacts
Facebook app + notifications = fail. They don't work half the time.. Google it. Very very common problem..
It always works on my widest phone the epic and its just the app that does it. I have the app and have all my settings on Facebook.com and my EVO the same as hers. Still it does not work yet it always works on hers.

once i installed the facebook app from the market i started getting my notifications again
I installed the app from the market and I am not getting them. Weird time to uninstall and try again

Do you have Facebook for sense active too? I didn't activate it cause I hated the way it sync'd on my EVO 4G
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
yes facebook and facebook for htc sense are both on sync
What are your setting for what all is sync'ed cause mine still isn't instant
Also are your notifications instant?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Well like stated above you usually never get the push notifications on time anyways

Agreed. Friendcaster is much better. Notifcations pop up, can tag photos, etc...
King Ty so much for your help can I ask one more thing of you? What are you notification settings inside the Facebook app? Thx again

I was about to make a new thread until I saw this.
Anyone else really upset that there's no fix to this? The Facebook app is absolute garbage without push notifications. What gets me is that the app was SUPPOSED to support it a while ago, but it clearly doesn't work and Facebook doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. Funny, because the Google+ app handles push notifications perfectly
I've done a lot of research and it honestly seems as though MOST people don't know what exactly push notifications are. You read a lot of 'well I get them almost right away" or 'I get them almost instantly'. Haha with push you're supposed to get them immediately, no questions asked You shouldn't have to wait for your phone, or the app to sync with Facebook's servers. Facebook servers tell your phone immediately as soon as there's a change.
There has to be something we can do to fix this. Sorry I'm just really bothered by it LOL
I have the Evo 4g and i no longer get push notifications. I though it had something to do with my Facebook account but recently purchases a htc amaze and sg2 and both of those phone received instant notifications. I since returned both so now i am stuck with no or very late notifications.

[Q] Emoji's?

Is there a way to send Emoji's with the stock messaging app? Maybe I am just totally looking over something but I don't see it anywhere. I know I can see them when other people send them to me. Well they have a "Android-like" skin to them but they are still there. In stock Android I know you can use them for 4.0 and above.
My wife did some research, could not find a way to use those on Android.

Oh you can definitely use them on Android. If you run stock Android and it's 4.0 and above, it is built into the native messaging app. If you don't have stock or 4.0 and above, you can download a messaging app like Handcent and you can use them that way. They are definitely ways to use them. I just want to know if there is a way to use them in the native messaging app in Sense

Are these different than the built in smiley set that you can access by long pressing the 12# button on the lower left of the keyboard?

Oh I didn't even see those. I've been using swiftkey. They aren't exactly like regular emoji's but they are I guess. The real set of emoji's has a lot more of them too. I guess that's better than nothing though

No options in notification for latest Gmail app

Hi guys,
I've been meaning to post this for a while, but with the new Gmail app, I don't have the options in the notification bar like you are supposed to get (delete, reply, etc.). I am currently running Viper Rom, if that makes a difference. Is anyone else experiencing this as well?
Seems to only work when i have one new email. Two or more emails and I have to go to the main app to delete /archive etc.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
I noticed that as well. If two or more emails that option does not show.

That is really weird. When I first downloaded the new update, it wouldn't work even with 1 email. I reinstalled the Gmail app, and it now seems to work with only 1 email, which makes sense because it could get a bit crowded with multiple emails.
I have the same problem as well. I have removed the app and reinstalled several time but still don't see the options. Quite odd.

Multi Window

Hey guys. Just thought I'd see what everyone uses their multi app Windows for. I think it's a great idea but I can never think of 2 apps I'd use at the same time.
I turned mine off because i dont like the tab thats on the side of the phone. Texting and browsing is one good use for it. Easy to copy and paste links between the two. Although its pretty easy to swap between the two using the home key too.

I usually use mines for copying information into a notepad / memo.
YouTube and a browser bc YT stops when its in the background and with a mod'd YouTube apk, I can listen with the screen turned off
I haven't used it once, the phone switches windows so fast

Student GMail -> calendar. I get notified of school meetings and stuff all the time. Multiwindow makes it very easy to copy over the information into my Google calendar.
But that's really my only use for it. It is nice for this purpose, but I could live without.
Copying links/addresses or other information to a text is a good use, as is from any app to a note taking app.

On TW if you hold the back softkey button while multi-window is enabled it hides the bar until you want it again. Simply hold the back button once more for it to show. =)

Custom ROM that enables multiwindow for all apps or root with multiwindow manager.

I have to agree, aside from the cool factor of actually being able to do it, I have not found a practical use for it.
I use it when copy/pasting login credentials from LastPass.

Cool thanks guys
I have used it a couple of times to text while I watch a movie or video.
Before I had the phone, I thought I would use the multi-window a lot and was excited about it.
Tried using it a few times and it just wasn't clicking for me.
I think if I could incorporate my apps with it or if it were more intuitive, maybe I would use it. I don't know.
As of now I have it disabled.
I would like a better app switcher, though. Something like Zephyr for the jailbroken iphone.

[SOLVED] Launcher with badges = NOVA Prime

I am a fan of Touchwiz but am open to trying other launchers. The problem seems to be the badge system doesn't work fully on any of the ones I have looked at.
Do you know of a launcher which can show numeric bubbles for unread items on SMS, email, facebook etc?
Lots do SMS and Gmail but I need the email as well, I don't even use Gmail.
Suggest away
NovaLauncher + NovaPrime + TeslaUnread does gmail, htc email, samsung email and k-9 mail.

I appreciate why people do this, but it is not for me.
If I can extract another hour of battery life I would do it, but just to make it look prettier, not for now.
If I can remove all the TW framework I might have another go
