Hi
I'm looking for a widget that shows just one specific Facebook page. Not updates from all friends or feeds, just one page I administer.
Does this exist?
Thank you,
-Ambious
It is possible you can get a widget with my app WebLiveWallpaper (which also is a widget despite the name) configured:
xda thread is here - download is in the first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931740
It can display any page the browser can show on your phone as a widget (or live wallpaper). But setup is not so easy and password protected websites will not work most of the time and the app still has some problems on some phones.
Better than nothing, I'll give it a shot.
Thanks
edit: Didn't work, couldn't get it to show a page and update it, just pictures.
Not even the website examples like Times?

On reading this some may think it sounds stupid(as the original post says ) but believe me, this thing worked for me.
First up, you’ll have to head to the Blackberry developers’site. You’ll need to download two packages:
- Blackberry Device Simulator 7.0 (177MB)
- Blackberry Email and MDS Services Simulator Package (44.2MB)
The former contains the device emulator which includes the Facebook app, and the latter allows said emulator to connect to the internets. As a testament to how archaic parts of Research In Motion's site are, you’ll have to download an ‘Akamai NetSession Inferface Console’ plugin to get hold of the Email and MDS package, but that can be readily uninstalled when you’re done with it.
After you’ve installed the two packages, launch the emulator. It’ll be under Start/All Programs/Research In Motion/Blackberry Simulators 7.0.0/7.0.0.362 (9350)/9350. Launching this brings up a seemingly-useless blank command prompt window, followed by the emulator itself, which may need scaling depending on your PC’s screen size. It’ll take a wee while to load up, then boot you into the standard non-touchscreen Blackberry interface. Now you’re in business.
- 1. Firstly, grab your Android phone. Make sure you have the latest version of Facebook installed from the market.
- 2. Head to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications. Tap on Facebook, then clear cache and data. Set your Android phone aside.
- 3. Now jump back on the PC and get into the Blackberry emulator as outlined above. Use your mouse to click on the little Blackberry flag button twice, which will bring up the ‘app drawer’. Use the mouse to move the square D-pad to the Facebook icon, and click the D-pad to launch.
- 4. Sign in to Facebook on the Blackberry emulator with your regular details. Thankfully, the PC keyboard works, you don’t have to painstakingly click each key on the on-screen Blackberry keyboard!
- 5. Wait for your feed to load in the Blackberry Facebook app. Once it’s updated with your information, simply log out again.
- 6. Head to desktop Facebook on your PC. Make sure you’re logged in, then hit the little drop-arrow next to the Home button, and click on Account Settings. While you’re here, take note of the icon next to Notifications down the left-hand side – you’ll be seeing a lot more of this icon very soon.
- 7. Click on ‘Apps’ down the left-hand side, and make sure ‘Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones’ is authorised. If it’s not, try logging back in on the Blackberry emulator again.
[P.S :: The 'Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones' didn't appear in my list so if the same happens to you don't panic, just got to the notifcations tabs on the left hand side and look for 'All notifications' and click on other applications and authorise the 'Blackberry Smartphones app', it worked for me.]
- 8. Pick your Android phone up once more, and launch the Facebook app. Sign in (Since you cleared data & cache earlier). Once you see your news feed, hit the News Feed logo up top to take you to the app’s main menu. Then press the Menu button, go to Settings, and make sure there is a tick next to Notifications, and the Messages/Friend Requests/Event Invites/Vibrate/LED/Notification Ringtone options are enabled or disabled to your tastes. Personally, I like to put that Facebook Pop notification sound to good use – note that it’s set to silent by default.
- 9. You can also set the refresh interval to Never, since these are push notifications, and your feed doesn’t have to auto-refresh.
- 10. Bang, you’re done. Get used to seeing that new notification icon, because wall posts, comments, and replies are going to be pushed your way within a few minutes of being added.

i already have blackberry with me so not a problem but will try this also as i love to try new things.
update : its working awesome thankx buddy. thanked u also.
Confirmed. It works
But I was like waiting for the BB Emulator to show the notifications and it didn't show up. Seems like there was a problem for FB to push notification to BB emulator.
So I continued logging in the FB Android app and it started showing the notification in less than 2 seconds with Edge Data.
This is great.
Now if push notification can work for liking and tagging, it would be great !
This appears to have worked for me. It should be noted that neither Facebook for Android or Facebook for Blackberry show up on my apps list. I assume this is a change Facebook made to not show the native apps.
I have frozen Friendcaster with Titanium backup so I'll be interested to see if the notifications will continue correctly when I defrost Friendster. I'm not sure if Friendcaster will attempt to compete for notifications or not.
I did not delete Friendster from the list off apps with permissions, so I'm hopeful that it won't interfere.
No Blackberry app appeared under "apps" on Facebook after logging in on the Blackberry Simulator.
What am I doing wrong?
Nothing, these instructions are probably slightly outdated. For me, neither Facebook for Android or Facebook for Blackberry shows up. I distinctly remember Facebook for Android showing up in the past, so this must be a recent change.
If you've logged in with the BB emulator and gone through the various menus and turned on anything about notifications it should work (did for me at least)
Unfortunately, don't expect to get "like" or event notifications. Those apparently aren't included in the push system yet. I still have email notifications as well as fRiendcaster for that reason.

I don't get the facebook app on the blackberry simulator. How do you get that app on there?
Download links broken.
Really don't want to install an app just to download something else!
Basically I'm trying figure out if it's illegal to display a website that I don't own in a webview in app, without getting it shut down? Say for instance, you were trying to be social and allow users to see your twitter or facebook page within the app. Will google snatch it down
Hello Everyone, this is my first post here
So ive been using the modded version of FB in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-facebookmod-material-design-layout-t2982613
and i have to say its really impressive, I enjoy using it, I also enjoy the Messenger Mod V2 (integrating Messenger within the app)
but I have an idea (or a request/suggestion lol), since this messenger mod is redirecting to messages tab in FB mobile website, is it possible for the mod to redirect to https://www.messenger.com/ and modify the resolution so it fits mobile screens. I know this is a PC website only (you will not get the log in prompt if you visit on mobile), but I was thinking if we can trick the website to think its PC, modify the resolution and integrate it within FB app, because Messenger website has more features than the mobile messenger page. I know its a long shot but like I said, its just a suggestion
