I have a Droid DNA and just got the newest Facebook update with new ui and I really don't like it for multiple reasons right now
Anyone have a link to the apk for the version right before the big ui change?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2q7z0x4zkqc2o0e/Facebook-7.0.0.26.28.apk
Here it is. I had to revert as well. There is no way to have recent posts show. This new version was in beta. I have no idea why they pushed it to be released. Delete the app first then install this one. Its the one b4 newest update

Thanks Yeah that's the biggest issue to me
i have had that and issues uploading pics from gallery and FB going black, the new app feels like an alpha, thanks for this.
Really? I went out of my to join the alpha so I could get the new ui and app. The old one is clunky IMO.

I did the same as you and joined the Google group. But the main thing missing from the app is the recent post option. Only way to access it is to add it to your favorites so its easy to access. Until they fix the recent post option in using the old one. I do like how quick the new UI is.

I'm the total opposite, besides the most recent news issue on the new one I think this new ui is way more clunky feeling and looking where the old one is basic one bar one side bar and that's it
Anyone know if there is a way to get rid of notifications of an update for the new version, i usually hit update all on my apps and since im avoiding this new facebook i cant do that anymore, just curious if there was a way to get rid of it from the list of updates
For most recent:
Scroll to right most tab, scroll down towards bottom until you see most recent. Click star. Add as favorite. Scroll back up. Reorder list. Click finish.
It isn't in the main tab, but you can scroll to the right and click most recent to get a most recent page listing.

At the risk of being a little off topic, has anyone tried the new google plus app? What are your thoughts? I'm still waiting for my invite, if you have an extra invite, i'd like to try it out.
I'm curious what other atrix user experiences are with the android app.

haven't played with it much. looks slick on the UI end. when more people get on there it will become more interesting. I like the local streams from people around you. hopefully it continues to roll out effectively otherwise it will end up like wave.
It's awesome

I heard it doesn't do the video chat/hangout stuff, but it does most of the others. Looks to be a very interesting take on the Social realm. While it appears they are going after the Twitter & Facebook real estate, they are going at it in a different way. I dig it. Now only if they would only get around to sending out more invites already, haha.
It's pretty cool. Obviously still needs work like Hangout but i only have a few friends using it thus far, once i get more, i'll play around with it more.

Yea, I figured that would be the crux right now. It's great to have a social spot, but what good is it if you don't know anyone yet? Soon enough, I suppose.
Looks like they had to shut down the existing users invite service (which they opened up yesterday) due to "insane demand."

Definitely not experiencing that issue. Notifications are quite instant, sometimes faster than the little red square that appears on Google sites.
You might want to check out your Google+ notification settings here: https://plus.google.com/settings/plus
and make sure it is set to push notifications at the top as well as making sure the appropriate check boxes are checked.
Mind seems to be pretty consistent.

Don't feel bad. They styled it to look just like the facebook notification settings page, which is where facebook sends you all sorts of emails/sms, so I was so used to going to that page and unchecking everything.
I didn't see a thread on this but last night I noticed I was able to download the Facebook app to my 10.1 and it works fine, albeit it looks simply like a very stretched version of the phone application. It does work, though, and fairly well at that.
yup. Works fine!
I installed it and it worked for a bit but now its useless
It's still garbage... I've sideloaded a few older versions plus the latest version from the market and its still just basic at best.
Still haven't fixed the FC everytime you try to go to your friends list.

Friendcaster works better now since they got rid of the Tab beta version but they've basically reverted to an over-sized phone UI instead of the immensely superior split-screen set-up the beta had.
I'm hoping the next update to the proper version will re-introduce the better Tab-oriented UI.

Agreed. I have the newest friendcaster app direct from the market (not the tab beta version) and it auto detected mine was a tab on install and installed the tab version. It looks like my version is 3.20.2
Uploaded to dropbox for you although you should be able to get from market.

Yep, 3.20.2 here also. Works well.

Huh, weird.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it and now I see the proper UI...
The only thing bugging me about the new Friendcaster is the ad at the bottom. Actually, there is never an ad there, it just says "Click here to disable ads for thirty days!" It takes me to a broken link. I would love to share Fridnscaster to get rid of this ad, but I guess we have to live with it for now.
(That link worked in the Tab beta version.)

I really like the simple News and Weather app (I believe it is a google app) that was on my EVO Shift and Nexus S. I was dissapointed the LTE didn't have it so I found a data app version of it and am uploading it here in case anyone else wants it. It's just a data app so no messing with /system or anything. Click and enjoy
Thanks, this was a favorite on my old evo. This one seems a little refreshed even, is it opening links in its own browser?
Yeah this is the first device I have used where the links open in its own browser. I don't really like that actually so I've switched to a different one posted. You cannot resize the page in that browser for some reason. The reason I liked this one was because you can install it like a normal data app and on some ics roms on my tablet the menu button won't appear if I use the system app for some reason. But my tablet doesn't open links in that weird browser thing or else I don't notice it since I use it zoomed all the way out.
Worked perfectly on GT-I8190N

The 24hr forecast graph is very useful. I've been searching for this app for my S3 mini since my Nexus S died.
Don't know how you found a "data app version of it" but this is perfect for non-rooted devices.
Thanks a lot! :good:
Awesome find... This version is much better than the version I was using prior. Thanks! :beer:

Has anyone else experienced a jerky google maps? I ask because my location dot on maps seems to only move every hundred feet while driving, opposed to being a fluid, continuous movement. I thought it was my note 2, but then I checked a friend's S4 and it did the same thing. May have been the latest maps update....not sure.

I ended up reverting back to an older version of Google Maps as well because I was experiencing similar bugs. I also missed having separate app icons for local, navigation, maps, etc... I went with Maps version 6.14.2, which I believe may have been the last version of that still had all the separate icons. It has been working well for me on my Note 2.
I also reverted my Gmail to an earlier version... I went with Gmail version 4.3.1, because I believe it was the last version available before Google updated Gmail to pre-sort all our email into the 5 different boxes... I just didn't like that.
When I was searching online for the previous versions, I came across a site named Android Drawer http://www.androiddrawer.com/
I thought you all might be interested in it because it has a huge repository of older apps of all kinds. Just search for the app you want and pick your favorite version.

Do you know a way to stop the older apps from showing up in the play store as needing to be updated? I have the hacked youtube that doesn't show up as needing an update, but my maps always does now. Not a big deal but it's nice to "update all" and not have maps update.

I'm not sure of a simple way to detach apps from the Play Store/Market. I thought Titanium Backup would easily let you do it, but it looks like it doesn't work anymore. I tested it out just a bit ago and it temporarily detached the app... but it linked back to the Market after a reboot.
User cthulu posted information in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50564811&highlight=detached#post50564811 , which talks about a fix. Credit should go to him if it helps you.

HTC Released their newest blinkfeed version, the one that can be found in sense 6, to the playstore.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.launcher
But it's quite sad that the HOX+ is incompatible? Any idea how to overcome that issue and download it and use it?
Yep, this is kinda weird. Notice that HTC's app is on the play store for some time now, but only has 3 ratings? It looks like it is disabled for everyone.
You can try to get the apk from play store. Here is one tutorial how to do it.
http://www.labnol.org/internet/download-apk-from-google-play/28303/
Nah, won't work. It is the true blinkfeed but the issue is that aits designed for the 4.4 API, hence us running 4.2.2 won't allow us to use it. That's why i was able to see it on 4.4 but i cant see it now.
Is there a way to modify the APP that we can use it in 4.2 too

I think HTC will be smart enouigh to downgrade it themselves. You see, from my point of view, I don't really want 4.4 that much as much as i want sense 6. I can get 4.4 from AOSP easily thanks to our devs, but I want Blinkfeed launcher most importantly.
HTC released that app about 1 week ago, which is still not available to all phones yet. I think they want to make every one feel how awesome their software is, so I think they will make blinkfeed available to all androids 4.0+.
BBM did something similar, they started with 4.2.2 and above, then one by one decreased. Now its available to 2.6 androids.
I think i will just wait.
I asked them in twitter this was there response
Sent from my HTC One X+ using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I guess Ghand0ur is kind of right. If HTC were to update the apps in our One X+, such as the launcher, the Gallery etc., 4.2.2 wouldn't suck that much.
They even have HTC zoey and HTC TV and other apps in the playstore but you can not find them with your phone.you must search it With the pc
Sent from my HTC One X+ using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I succeeded to get the latest launcher working on my HOX+ with CarbonRom on (4.4). It said on the market that my phone isn't supported so I had to download the apk alone from a third party app. I succeeded to have the basic functions of the launcher. App Drawer, widgets, home screens, home wallpaper, however
1- Blinkfeed was broken, it said "No content, swipe down to refresh" and swiping from the left side of the screen gave me a sidebar with "Highlights" in it and clicking the 3 dotted button wouldn't bring anything up.
2-Also when I clicked on the "Search" button in the app drawer the launcher would just stop working.
How did you get it to work whenever i will to Start the launcher there is a message that my phone is not supported

You have to have 4.4 , so download a kitkat rom(like carbon rom or cyanogenmod) . Then search for the apk online. I think we aren't allowed to mention third party apps that get you full apps for free. So you have to search for one.
I am on carbonrom 4.4 but it still did not work
Sent from my One X+ using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It won't work, as I said I downloaded the apk from somewhere else and only the basic functions worked. BlinkFeed did not.
Anyway once BlinkFeed will be available for us I will move straight away to 4.4 . Can't wait !!

Why not just change your device model in the build.prop to one of the ones that does support it. That should theoretically trick google into letting you download it.
