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.

Should be 2.1.1

Why was it pulled?

Music Junk

Apparently it was removed from the market. Does anybody have the apk? It was a free app, and one of my favorites. I had to do a wipe and didn't backup my apps assuming I could just re-download it from the market.

its available in this market

Hey just a heads up to anybody who cares, I recently installed market enabler and several Mp3 file sharing apps popped up, also a nice updated version of Music Junk. Outstanding!

Where do I find the android market apk that will load on the Gtab

Sorry I am new to this. I am trying to load android market to my g tablet. I have gotten the instructions from another thread but it says to make sure I have the market working with my Google ID. Since I do not have an android phone and have never been to the android site I am not sure if my Google ID will work. I have tried downloading the android market apk from xda but if just flashes on the screen when I press it. Can someone steer me straight.

Which apk did you get? You're going to need two, GoogleFrameworkServices.apk and Vending.apk. Also, I don't think you can just click on them, but need to move/copy them to /system/app.
Jim

Thanks jimcpl
As you can guess I am still lost. I did not know I needed two apk's. That explains why the instructions for adding the market app says to turn Googleframeworkservices's off. I don't have it.
I have Googled Googleframeworkservices.apk and got a couple of listings for forms that discussed it but none of them had a download of it.
The Android Market apk I got was from this page in the xda forms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869964
Can you or anyone direct me to the apk I need.

The #2 post in the "Stock G-tablet MOD" thread in General has info on that.

[Q] Has anyone gotten the Sports Illustrated app (tablet edition) ?

I am trying to install it via the Market online and the G-tablet is not listed as being compatible with it.

Dled it last night love it runs like a charm on vegan rom

I don't see the tablet edition available...All i get is the phone version in market...

I have searched google for an apk file and no one has one. The tablet version isnt in the android market even after being fixed and the online android market doesnt support vegan so i conclude we cant get it yet

I just grabbed it from the market, and it worked fine. I did get a message that it was for the galaxy tab.
I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.
Carl

My market will only see the phone edition of the app.
Can anyone pull the tablet edition apk and post it for download?

Same here.
APK would be greatly appreciated. Really looking forward to seeing some tablet optimized apps on the gTab

I just found it in the market. I am using vegan-tab. In settings, applications...clear cache AND data for Market, then force stop. Then clear data and force stop Google Services Framework. Reboot, accept terms of services in market, and you should find it. I just did this and it worked. The key is to also clear Market data. Hope this helps!

I found it but it says my device is not compatible. I did however able if I want to download the phone version.

Does it display in landscape? Is it free or just one free issue?

It displays in portrait only, but I think the layout is great. The app is free but the subscription is not. I get the issues in the app for free because I have a print subscription, but I believe you can also pay for a digital only subscription (don't know how much that costs).

Same issues here - can't find it in the market and can't find an apk on the web. If anyone could post the apk it would be much appreciated. I have a print subscription that gets recycled every week - the landfills are crying!

Don't really feel like uploading it anywhere, but feel free to pm me your email if anyone wants it. Backed it up with astro.

+1 for not linking the apk. Last thing anyone needs (XDA included) is the ire of sports illustrated. If you take your time you can find it on teh intertubes.

-5 for Mantara for not nowing anyone can have the apk since you have to have a subscription to gain access to the content anyway!

DesktopSMS

Does anyone have the apk for this new app by koush? I saw it on twitter but I don't have a smartphone to pull the apk and put on my Xoom.
It is an SMS program where your text message are sent to your gmail or talk and when you respond they come from your phone #. Pretty sweet.

It does not need to be installed on the XOOM. You just install it on your phone. See the other thread or the market description/instructions!
