Okay, so i was browsing the google play store on my computer, when i stumbled upon the facebook home app. i wanted to see some screenshots of the app, so i clicked on it. to my surprise, under the install button, it said that one of my devices is compatible with the app.

that can’t be? I thought facebook home was only for the Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy Note II, HTC first, HTC One X and HTC One X+. Weird. Whenever i get ungrounded, i plan on installing my jelly bean ROMs to my mesmerize and testing to see which one facebook home works on. i have registered my phone multiple times on my google account under different roms, as you can see. there’s also Gateway NV-52, which is my laptop, that i booted android 4.2.2 on. I’ve only used about 3 jelly bean ROMs, and one 2.3.7 based ROM. i’ll get back to you after the testing. Facebook Home’s specifications also state that you must have android 4.0 and up, so i suspect the 2.3.7 ROM won’t work, so i’ll save it for last.

I tried it out a ways back when home was released. Didnt give it a long tryout but kinda was overwelming at first lol With your fb messages, chat, and your texts comming in all through facebook. I love my messaging and set up currently to leave it at this time. Which I know your able to turn off/pn and change different settings but was lagging down my phone at the time. Just didnt wanna deal with it I suppose but maybe try it out down the line again, sure much had already changed since when i tried it out. The patched/unlocked versions are suppose to work with all devices, Just requires Android ICS 4.0 or higher of course and your good to go. I used theos0o'd since I use a few of his other modded apps and know his stuff is good. Links below for anyone wanting to check it out or for future reference. :silly:

It's only a matter of time before I can no longer resist the urge to purchase an Android tablet, even in their current underwhelming state. The G Tablet is currently at the top of my list for available Android tablets.
One thing that's been bugging me, though, is whether or not there's a solution for multiple users. I see the tablet as just laying around the house so that either my wife or I can just pick it up to check email, facebook, etc. This isn't a problem for our phones, as we each have our own Droids. Having two tablets laying around seems a tad excessive at the moment.
Does anyone know if there are any ROMs/apps/hacks that would let you easily switch from one user's homescreen and accounts to another?
This isn't exactly G Tablet specific, but I didn't know of a better place to post this.
Thanks,
-Stephen
There is a setting for multiple accounts, complete with logins. I haven't tried it yet myself - itsss my PRECIOUSSSS!

liquidcaffeine, thanks for the info. So, the pre-loaded GUI supports multiple logins? That's good news. However, I've heard not so good things about the GUI, but it looked pretty good running Cyanogen on Youtube. I don't suppose the multiple logins would carry over to that.
I have another question for you and precious. If you load another launcher (lets say LauncherPro) over the default home, can it still make use of the multiple logins? Also, does this fix the slowness of the default home or does it need a new ROM for that?
Thanks a lot!

I'm running roebeets TnT Lite mod with ADW.Launcher and I still see the option for what is called "family profiles" with it.
EDIT*** The Settings -> Family FCs whenever I try to add a new member.

That's great news! Do you have any idea yet if the family profiles will switch out accounts for apps that weren't preloaded on the stock tablet (i.e. Gmail, Maps, etc.)?
Be careful, you coming very close to costing me $400 ;-)
Has anyone found out how to actually switch accounts? I'm managed to add accounts by removing the contacts.apk from the update.zip file and reflashing the firmware.
I'm running TNT Lite 4.4.0 using the free version of launcher pro since I could not find ADW launcher.
I'm in the same boat as cerdmier. I could fix TNT 4.40 to allow me to add accounts, but couldn't figure out how to switch. Didn't try the stock ROM long enough to see if it worked there.
Rooted / Gapps - stock 1.2.4349
I have been running alternate ROMs but just updated to stock 4349 to try that for a bit. I rooted it, installed Gapps and the market fix. The family accounts does not FC under this setup.
I have Launcher Pro set as the default for the home button but have an icon for the Tap N Tap home on the screen. This lets me switch between the two. The family accounts doesn't appear to be anything like the multiple logons in Windows. The multiple accounts appear in the Tap N Tap interface only. I now see three to-do lists (Family, name1, name2) and two email accounts that I set up (name1, name2). TapNTap seems adequate for reading GMail and it supports Labels but I don't see any support for archiving or changing labels on messages.
I primarily read gmail via the browser since that supports the new tablet interface, and sometimes use the gmail app. I don't see myself using the Tap N Tap email interface very often as I change labels and archive many messages.
I have two Android devices, both on basically stock roms, and both are having problems getting into Yahoo messenger (the official Yahoo app). I'm able to log in and out on my PC's, but both Android devices get as far as the contact list, and it keeps saying "Loading Online Contacts..." and hangs there... EVERYbody shows up as offline, and when you homescreen out and back again, it often leaves you at the login window.
I've reinstalled and rebooted and whatever... still the same. Two devices.. can't be just me, right?
I am having the exact same problem. Started by saying session timed out around 5 am today
here too.. hope they're just working for a new version.
+1 on the new version, the current one sux bawlz... inly shows account name and not real name like the desktop version... video calls only use the main camera (my damn Galaxy Tab has a front facing but still very useless camera!), and no file sharing.
With all the new Tablets running Android, you think they might see the light...
*knock* Is this thread on-going? I installed 1.0 and 1.1 without any problem but once i installed 1.3+video plugin it shows only offline contacts... Have you experienced this also?
Same for me
front camera dont work in my droid 3! :-(
it seems there's no fix. i really wanted to use video plugin on yahoo messenger and if it works there's a thread here that says "front camera now works... something like that"
FYI!

This works ONLY on ICS. But, just because we have ICS, doesn't mean that it will automatically magically work, it is just that ICS is a prerequisite to make it work.. I don't have a DX2 anymore, so you guys need to test this out and see if it works!
Install it as a system app: Push it to /system/app and change permissions to rx-r--r--. Then, choose "Samsung powered by Vlingo" for Voice input in settings.
Anyway, I am trying to use it on my Droid Incredible 2 on a fairly stable ICS ROM and it is still waaaay too buggy, crashing almost at every search query. So we still need some devs fixing this up!
Thanks, hopefully someone can get this working 100% for us. Did a voice search for Facebook and sure enough it worked. Then I used it to send myself a text message and I'm not in my contacts so I spoke each digit individually and it picked it up and sent my text. Got it and everything lol. Only issue I noticed so far is that when you try to change the wake up phrase from Hi, Galaxy it instantly force closes. But I'll keep playing with it. Thanks again
Edit: Also works for making phone calls. Every once and a while she'll tell me "An unexpected server error has occurred, please try again."

Hi all,
I am pretty sure that in ICS when a calendar event had a registered location, you could click on the location triggering the maps app to show you where it is on the map. I've noticed that in Jelly Bean this link was disappeared. The location is shown under the title of the event but you can't click to view it on the map. Is this happening to your phones too?

I'm on Nexus 7 by Asus, it came with Stock Android 4.1 Jellybean and has been upgraded a couple times now to OTA 4.1.1
As far as ICS goes, I can't comment, I own a Galaxy Note which is heavily modded by Touchwiz.
But Nexus 7, loving it so far. Love the voice assistant, cause it works.
I had the same concern as above, the calendar and map seems to be missing the integration between, Maps and latitude. I would love to be able to specify "Work" or "Home" or things off "My Places" when making Calendar entries( i.e. Meeting at 1:00 pm at work with <Contact>. This would really help especially with Google Now, where it can see where your next appointment is at so it can route you the right way. It would be even better if you can dictate this and it will integrate with Gmail to send out invites if you are the organizer. Has anybody figured out the keywords to have Jelly Bean Voice Search to make calendar entries? I can only get it to make Alarms.
I just noticed this also since upgrading my Galaxy Nexus to Jelly Bean. Not happy about that.
Clearly a bug here.
I reset my device and set up my accounts and the links were there and working. After a reboot it dissapears. Hope this gets fixed quickly, it's annoying.

I'm having the same issue. Updated my Galaxy Nexus to 4.1.1 (rooted, getting updates from directly from Google).
I thought I must have been going mad. I've reset / wiped the phone a couple of times now, slowly reinstalling one app at a time, and then suddenly BOOM - the location links are gone.
Good to see now that I am not the only one.
Update:
The Android bug register has some discussion on this. Google android issues 34759 and you'll find the link (I'm a noob on XDA and it won't let me post links)
Ya I know, this may seem like a stupid question, but believe me I have valid reasons for asking it. So I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi (GT-P7510) that had been sitting around not being used for quite some time. I decided to recently take it out and root it to run the snapprefs xposed module alongside snapchat. Well, first things first, the tablet was running Android 3.0 Honeycomb which is way out of date. I upgraded to the last update available for this tablet which was Android 4.0.4 ICS. through standard system update. I then rooted using CWM recovery and flashing over superuser. All worked well and the tablet was rooted. I installed the latest version of snapchat from the play store and attempted to login with ABSOLUTELY 100% VALID credentials. It went through the processes "logging in, verifying device, etc." and then crashed to the home screen. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, signing up for new accounts, switching google accounts on the device, creating new google accounts, making sure google accounts were syncing correctly, making sure time and date was correct, downgrading snapchat to older versions, EVERYTHING. Absolutely nothing worked. The funny thing is that when initially opening snapchat, it would have the main screen where you see your camera open and have snap/stories notifications, etc. Then it would finish loading and go to the login/signup screen (since no account was logged in). That was when the problems would occur. I'm even able to sign up for new snapchat accounts which would go through just fine (I would receive the email notification from team snapchat), but when it was time to go to the main snapchat screen it would crash the same way as when logging in. At this point I was convinced that snapchat simply had issues running on 4.0.4 or something. I decided to flash a custom ROM to solve this. The first ROM I flashed was Nameless 4.4.4 .. Again, EXACT same issues. I was like wtf?? I then flashed Omni 4.4.4 and yep, same exact issue. I then tried CM 10.1 (4.2.2) and again, same issues. I went back to completely stock ICS 4.0.4 using Odin and ya, same issues as the first time. I really don't understand at this point. I thought it could be snapchat account issues so I tried logging in and logging out with all accounts that I attempted on the tablet using my Galaxy S6 Active which worked completely fine, so it's definitely something with the device. I'm someone that can typically figure out things for myself through researching, but at this point I'm really stuck, and I had to join this forum for assistance. If anyone would be able to help, I would GREATLY appreciate it. Does anyone have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi (GT-P7510) that they are currently running snapchat on? This is the original 10.1, and not the 2 or 3, and so on. Would anyone know what could possibly be going on? I wouldn't think that it would take much to run an app like snapchat, and I would think that the Tab 10.1's hardware would certainly be more than capable of doing so. The latest version of snapchat requires 4.0 and up, so I wouldn't think the android versions that I used would be an issue. Even the stock ICS 4.0.4 should be able to run it just fine. CM 10.1 was 4.2.2 and the other 2 ROMs that I tried were Omni 4.4.4 and Nameless 4.4.4.
I look forward to any help that can be provided. Thanks ahead of time everyone.
Got any solutions?
