Facebook

So I was thinking that the contacts picture feature is really under used in most phones. I was wondering if there was a possibility of having an app that would sync contact photos with their profile pictures on facebook. You could sync by name or phone # if your friends have put their cell #s on their profile.
Also as a side note to that it would be nice to have a better facebook application something similar to the Iphone's app where you are able to use facebook chat aswell as see notification popups and such.

/me looks to see if he's on candid camera.
1) Open Market.
2) Search for "facebook"
3) Install app named "Facebook Contact Sync" (Syncs facebook photos to contacts)
4) Install app named "fbook" (general facebook app, no chat)
5) Install app Named "Meebo" (Supports facebook chat)

why cant there just be an all in one facebook app with chat. Why do i have to use 2 programs to do the job of one app that was already developed for the iphone and which im sure can be developed for the g1.

Sorry sir I'll get right on that.

Well from what i have read on this forum as well as off site, Developing a app for facebook with the abilities of the one for the iphone is virtually impossible at this time.
See, google and myspace are together and microsoft and facebook are together. and with apple, that app has access to the API's within facebook to easily sync and access facebooks information. Google doesnt have that ability since them and microsoft are "enemies". Full functionality with a facebook app for the G1 or android in general is probably not going to happen for a little while unless someone finds a way to access all the information on facebook.
i kinda of have an idea but i am not exactly sure if it would work

Are you the creator of the facebook app?
Bhogan123 I dont really think that that is entirely true though. There are many other programs that have integrated features with facebook. I dont think they are exclusively contracted with any company.

Fbook.
Does anyone of you have the last version of Fbook? Or any older one that is not current. I hate the new one, it won't let me upload photos!
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried emailing the dev and informing him of this issue?

I was being stupid. My album was full, it wasn't the application.

I just use iphone.facebook.com as a bookmark... the app just links you to the page anyways and I find it more stable than the app at times.

fBook application not in Market?
A friend just got the G1 this week. He is looking for the fBook application but cannot find it on the market. If he searches for "fBook" it does not come up. When he looks at the applications by popularity list, it is not there. I sent him the cyrtek barcode link and the market cannot find it: "There are no matches in Android Market for the searchname:com.nextmobileweb.fbook"
I can see it just fine on the market, I can search for it and find it, and the Cyrtek Barcode URL works as well. I do have the apk and I am waiting for him to get home to install it by "hand".
My question is, what could be the reason he does not see it? I do not yet know his firmware version and he is not the "rooting" kind. I assume (shame on me) that if he got the phone this week it should be at least on the RC 33 version, yes?
wergeld

Search typing facebook, i downloaded today...

Depending on when his supplier got the phone, it may still be on RC30. You should ensure that he's on RC33 at least, if for no other reason than he'll be ready for the OTA update push that's now occuring.
Because the market also works on SDK, if he is on the Android 1.0 SDK, he will not see any 1.1 or 1.5 applications, just as users on the 1.5 SDK will not see any 1.1 or older applications on the market either.

FBook?
EDIT: Apparently its still in the market...
Can someone confirm?
Im runnin ADP 1.5, and Im not really believing that it runs off SDK thing because I just re-rooted my new phone coming from another phone with 1.5 on it. I was able to download it on that phone fine.

I just did a fresh install of jf 1.5 adp, and can no longer find fbook in the market. I had this exact same rom installed previously, and was able to locate it with no difficulties. Seems strange...

I can't find it either and I'm on the new 1.5 official update.

Cyrket.com doesnt even have it listed under the "Social" section for any of the SDK numbers.
Maybe they're fixing it??
This is strange....

I can confirm its been pulled from the market. I just reflashed this morning and could not find the app. So I check my store demos just in case it was blocked. None of my G1s can find it in the market. I miss this app, if someone could upload the apk please, that would be awesome.

[Q] .kml files into google earth?

importing .kml into google earth? sory if this has been covered but i searched for quite a while and couldnt find out how to do it. i used wardriver to map out network locations and i exported the data to .kml. now shouldnt i be able to load that .kml into google earth? i uploaded the .kml to wigle.net but it didnt give me a http addy to search for with GE. i even tried typing a .kml addy from a different site into GE search but it said not found.
this thread from april talks about .kml or GE not being available for android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661064. however i got GE from the market so i guess things have changed.
where can i find a clear-cut way of loading .kml files into GE?

I can't imagine nobody has any advise on this topic. Must have been covered already. Ill look elsewhere.

Man, I just can't figure it out. All the places just say to upload the kml to a host and search in GE for the url. I have uploaded the kml to wigle but it doesnt give me a url to my file. I simply want to place a layer of my wardriving networks on top of google earth. Is there anyone that can assist?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

The android GE does not import .kml files. Only the pc version.

well hell.. thats marvelous to know. how about google maps? can i use kml in google maps on my phone? if not is there some other sort of map app that i can use? id like to apply my wardriving kmls to a map so i can review and use them.
thing is, i cant find the url to my hosted kml's on wigle. i have a in post the forums there asking about it but it hasnt been answered yet.

import your .kml to maps.google.com if the account is the same as your phone it will show up automatically in android Google maps layers, just enable that layer

Thanks for the reply. I hate to be such a noob but unfortunately I am just that. A noob. Do I need to import from my pc? When I go to maps.google.com on my phone it asks to open with browser or with maps. When I choose browser it loads then closes. When I choose to load it in maps it doesn't close but I can't find the option to import anything. Any way you could explain it step-by-step to me like you would to a 4 year old? Heh.

Hey it is now possible to open KML file with GE .
Ther's an APP on the market to do this :
"I've developed an app for Android that lets you load a KML or KMZ file into Google Earth. If you are on the Google Android Market, then just search for "KMLZ to Earth". Google might have overlooked it, but aside from the first load of the file failing (Google Earth won't read the URI if it's not running), then my app works perfectly to display KML or KMZ files in Google Earth.
WrightRocket"
Enjoy...

kml files are for the DESKTOP google earth program.

Maybe you're right but with this app you can use it on your PDA...
Tested and approved!

ya missed the post about your addon app.

[Q] Picasa not syncing in Gallery app.

Hi, my mom just got an HTC first, which is running stock android 4.1.2. Everything is working great, except that instant upload is not syncing back to her stock photo gallery. She has Google+ installed and instant upload turned on, and that is all working perfectly. She has a nexus 7 running Android 4.2.2 and the photos she takes on her phone are syncing to her tablet perfectly, but they are not syncing back to her phone. Everything in her Google account is set to sync. I have Force stopped/Cleared Data and cache in the gallery app, but nothing I do gets is to work. I even had her add my dads google account to her phone (set only to sync Google photos), hoping that would force something to work, but his photos are not syncing to her phone either. Please help. I just finally got her to get an android phone because of all the awesome features it has, (Instant upload/Gallery sync being one of them), and it stinks that one of the best features is not working.I know she can access the photos through Google+, but its so much more convenient to have them in your gallery. Thank you for your help...

Does anyone else have this issue? Got my wife the same phone, and the issue is the same. Even if you don't have a solution, please reply with a, "yes I have the issue", or "no, it works for me.” I'd appreciate it.

Same thing here. I just bought the HTC First primarily for the stock android, and now the gallery app doesn't work with Google Photos...
It's weird that it is definitely connected to Picasa, as it can upload pictures to albums.

New stock app fixes this issue
The updated 4.3 Gallery/Camera stock app which was just leaked fixes this issue. It will now properly sync with Google Photos and display all your albums. The camera app is also spiffier as a nice bonus! :good:

Lollipop Gallery app

Hi Nexus 6 users. Can any of you tell me which gallery app you guys have on your nexus. Also, do you guys have "My files" app as shown in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8TXgCzxEnw

I use the stock Gallery app for most of the things I need, I rarely use Google+ Photos because it always shows the most recent upon opening rather than having individual folders set up for Camera, Screenshots, downloads, cloud backups, etc which I prefer using.
Hearing that the Nexus 6 is going to use G+ Photos by default as the Gallery I have been eyeing "Quickpic" since it emulates the stock Gallery plus a few more features. Plus they have a beta version out now that they are implementing Material Design which is a plus since I was originally going to just consider backing up and restoring the stock Gallery apk from my Nexus 4 over to my Nexus 6.
Keep an eye on QuickPic I say, wait for their stable Material Design update which will be soon and install it, otherwise just backup your Gallery APK and install it over onto the Nexus 6.
QuickPic (play link): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&hl=en

Gallery app
The Gallery app can make an easy to moderate using Files set up. Gallery app function can add and install in limited time period for desktop or mobile applications.
Mod edit: Added direct link
Google Play-link

+1 for QuickPic :good:
Great app, looks and feels almost identical to the stock Kit Kat gallery app.

Gallery KK is better in my opinion

all i see is a lot of crying.. the gallery app works on the n6, all you have to do is install it. if you really are bummed about it, you shouldve searched google. btw, here is the gallery apk http://goo.gl/cfB8ak its included in aosp, just not stock.

On stock, is anyone else finding that the "Settings" menu item doesn't work on either this gallery app or the stock "Photos" app:
- On the gallery app I just get a black screen
- On the Photos app it just closes the menu

Old and dead thread, but since this guy above brought it back to life, I might as well add a bit;
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...droid/gallery3d/settings/GallerySettings.java
Probably the reason the settings activity is blank, is because it is actually an empty file.
*** https://android.googlesource.com/pl...y2/+/deb5910808d7363ca73b44804d89e5b430c03fcb
The code for the settings menu was removed during transition from gallery3d to gallery2 back in 2011.
If you look at the settings.xml file, you can see that the only options you were actually provided with were bogus anyway.

Not knowing where that came from, I certainly wouldn't install it on my phone.
So I forked the source myself, fixed it to build as a standalone with NDK, and posted the source to my github:
https://github.com/lbdroid/android_packages_apps_Gallery2
I did add a binary to the build/ directory of the project, but I still recommend compiling it yourself.
Edit: I just pushed a patch and new build that have the Settings activity stripped out of it. No more annoying people with empty activities.

So far I have found QuickPic is the best!

Alternatively you can try this apk as well - http://www.mediafire.com/file/jgx38z0gdfa7qox/Moto_Gallery.apk

[Q] Gallery (photos) not migrating to Nexus 6?

So I used the NFC tap feature to migrate the data, apps, etc from my N5 to the N6. I noticed that in Lollipop Google has done away with the gallery app in favor of the Photos app (It was a move we all know was coming). The thing is, I have never and don't like the idea of having Photos automatically backup my photos to the cloud so I have always had that feature disabled. Now, I am trying to get all my photos from the Gallery to my N6 but am not able to beam it or otherwise sync it with my google account.
Anyone else having this issue? Am i going to have to use like Airdroid or manually drag my albums from my N5 to my mac and then on to the N6?
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you don't want to turn on the g+ sync you are going to need to save them to your computer and then transfer back. The tap and go just transfers over settings not files.

I really dislike the Google Photos app. Google needs to realize that some people would have just like an updated Gallery app with move function. I hated it when they did the same thing with Google Music.
I use Quickpic and everything works fine.

I agree - I really like the gallery app because I feel that the Photos app sucks at organizing photos into albums and such unlike gallery. But, that could also just be due to my lack time dedicated to the photos app.
I will check out Quickpic, thanks for the suggestion!
