official facebook app?

Hey are they ever going to release an official facebook app for our phones from the website like they do with the iphone and blackberrys?

Interestingly, rumors started flying around the internet yesterday/today about Facebook possibly releasing an official app. I don't make it a habit to post new threads based on rumors, but you can read some info about this here:
http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/2...k-and-google-work-together-on-an-android-app/
http://news.google.com/news/more?pz=1&cf=all&ncl=dZCKUtSuPS9aQTMWoeUeRsnoXR0LM
If the rumors are true, we'll find out shortly.

yea, not supposed to be as "full featured" But i guess rumors are saying as soon as this week

I cant wait.

Well, lets examine the evidence here and see what we can devise:
-Facebook just opened up their mobile shop for TMO users after years of screwing us over.
-TMO has been talking rumors of an official facebook app to be launched alongside the sherpa release when the MT3g comes out.
-The MT3g comes out next week.
So I'd say odds are pretty good.

Don't want to rain on your party, just spoke to a T-Mobile rep to activate the vv. Asked about the facebook app, mid August was the reply.

it will be out when the mt3g is available

Mid august or a few more days really does not make a big difference. G1 users have been waiting for a good facebook app since we got our phones 9 months ago. its just hope that when it gets here, it'll deliver on what most of us are looking for.

Could be useful for devs?

Have you tried Babbler? The pay version is better, but this one works just fine.
Everything you need but inbox (which, apparently the official one won't support anyways).

OP - http://androidcommunity.com/forums/229513-post48.html

well, now we know its coming for sure. all we gotta do is wait.

screens look slick although i had to zoom in.
widget looks cool too.
been using x.facebook.com and holding out for an official facebook app

I am really looking forward to trying this app. I dont even care if its a paid app. I was mega excited when I first tried Babbler and the same with Bloo. This app looks like it will work as expected with likes, replies and what not, I just hope they throw a few 'nice touches' into the app, and include things like photo uploads and tagging.
I must agree the widget does look kinda cool. I just hope it doesnt drain the battery like twidget.
Until then...

Has anyone else seen a problem with bringing up facebook comments through the email alerts if theyre sent to your phone? I click on the links in the email alerts in gmail and it takes me to the person's mobile profile for some reason. It used to take me to the desktop version page so i can see the comments, but its been forwarding to the mobile site

Well it looks like slowly android is coming around. If we get a good facebook app, and turn by turn nav, I might just keep this phone for a while, Yaaa.

I heard somewhere that Garmin was making an Android app, but don't quote me on that
edit: also there is already turn-by-turn nav for the G1. google "telenav". engadget says it is pretty snappy. been around since february.

Garmin making a sat nav would be brilliant! Cannot find telenav on the UK market can someone confirm its there?

Cool! I would love to have that ability since the screen is big enough for multiple apps

This looks very very promising! I love the multi app layout. I hope this comes to the light of day soon!

Like how they call the OS on the Xoom Gingerbread lol. But yeah this looks promising.
http://www.onskreen.com/index.php is the official site for this. At the bottom there is a sign up option to get notified when updates for the product is released such as beta release.

i can see this as being an integral part of the next upcoming android tablets once tgw newness of honeycomb has worn off. The only problem that I can forsee is the need for better processors beyond a dual ccore 1ghz. The heat and battery drain would have to be addressed as well. But all in all, something to look forqard to

I'd kill to be able to just display 2-3 different apps like the above video even if they were just suspended. In fact that might be another option they could implement to save battery life. It would just make switching between certain tasks easier. I'm still trying to find just what my tablet's niche is in my world...this might actually make it replace my laptop for some work related tasks.
any new info on beta or release date?

Here is what I got back from Onskreen ... I asked them about release date and possible beta testing.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for reaching out to us and for your patience. It is indeed Q3, and we are working as fast as we can with the OEM's interested in including Cornerstone with their devices. It's consuming all of our engineering resources to work with them. That is a good thing and a bad thing. The bad because we can't yet support a user beta.
Regarding Honeycomb, we would not legally be allowed to release a Honeycomb beta with Cornerstone. Since the honeycomb source code is closed and owned by Google, for us to include Cornerstone with it and release it to users would be a violation. Any public beta we do would have to be on Gingerbread.
We're paying attention and know you've been reaching out since the start. We definitely have you on the list, and are doing the best we can.
Thanks!
Onskreen Team

Makes sense now the gingerbread references, clearly this requires modifications to the OS and isn't just a launcher, hence them being unable to go directly to users and being unable to release a honeycomb version.

Well, I should qualify my statement: You can't just go flashing any ROM on any phone of course You need the hardware drivers and radio for your phone model. But that is separate from Android or Android version.

Ok. Hands down fasstest rom I've tried. Loved it. ......

Android 4.4 KitKat official

Android 4.4 KitKat has been officially announced and as usual, the latest version of the Android OS debuts alongside the a new Nexus, the Nexus 5. So, what's new? Well, the 4.4 KitKat aims to reach the next 1 billion users and it will scale automatically to fit on the devices with as little as 512 MB of RAM.
The design of the OS has been polished and it looks better than ever. Android 4.4 brings a new phone app, which now helps you search across your contacts, nearby places or even through any other Google app accounts, right from your dialler app.
Google's new Hangout app comes out of the box on Android 4.4. It puts all your SMS and MMS under one roof along with other conversations and video calls so that you don't miss messages regard;ess of how they are sent.
The lock screen now has a camera shortcut and there is an option to rearrange the home screens to match your requirements. All devices without hardware keys now get extra room as the navigation interface disappears as soon as an app is launched.
As one can expect, the newest Android version brings a whole lot of new features for Google's search platform. You can now activate search with keywords and the speech recognition engine is about 25 percent more accurate than before, according to Google.
You can use the hotwords to launch voice search with the Google Now, send a text, get directions or even play a song. The upcoming version of the Google Now will bring new card types that keep you updated with contextual topics of interest to you.
Android 4.4's new framework allows you to AirPrint (a feature similar to wireless printing), which is however limited to HP printers only for now. The OS now supports third-party cloud storage in the Gallery app
Google aims to make Android accessible to everyone, even people with low-end hardware. In the past, due to the memory constraints, some lower-end smartphones couldn't get a taste of the newer Android versions, but with KitKat that's about to change. Android 4.4 KitKat removes unnecessary background services and reduces the memory consumption to a large extent, which now allows the OS to run smoothly even on devices with 512MB RAM. Ironically, the Galaxy Nexus with 1GB RAM will not get KitKat.
Google has also managed to enhance the battery performance through its sensor batching, which reduces the data requests. Lastly, Android 4.4 comes with under the hood tweaks and changes to enhance the overall performance of the OS.
Android 4.4 KitKat will be powering the newly launched Google Nexus 5 out of the box, while the roll out for the other Nexus devices will begin in the coming days.

Here's the thread in Android Q and A:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3166457

There is some public information out there specific to the Nexus 6 that is partially good news, but ambiguous. Forbes magazine interviewed Joshua Drake, the security researcher who reported the vulnerability to Google:
At the time of publication, the [Google] spokesperson had not responded to a question on the availability of a patch for Google’s own Nexus phones. Drake said the Nexus 6 running the latest firmware was patched against some of the issues, but not all, though he couldn’t be more specific.

But in an update, Forbes added this:
FORBES understands Google has not sent out patches for Nexus owners. Indeed, it seems thus far that not a single manufacturer has shipped a fix for users.
Google confirmed the Nexus updates would not be rolling out until next week. “As part of a regularly scheduled security update, we plan to push further safeguards to Nexus devices starting next week. And, we’ll be releasing it in open source when the details are made public by the researcher at Black Hat,” a spokesperson said.

So the question is? Who's right here?

Thats a good question, but Zimperium found the exploit so I would lean toward believing their app.

Google implemented the patches they were given after probably looking deeper. It is what it is for now.

Great! Then based on that logic, LMY48I hasn't fixed the problem at all.

No one knows except the the hackers that don't exist so far. No one has used the hack. No one knows if there is a fix till the exploit is actually used.

Some people on reddit running patched CM ran the test and it shows no vulnerability. They speculate that google may have missed a patch.

I think the press coverage of stagefright has been biased in favor of an alarmist point of view. I not saying that there's no problem but that, so far, no exploit has been found that can actually run a piece of malicious code -- as opposed to just causing random havoc.
The vulnerability has been big news for about ten days so why is that? The answer is that there's some backup protection in Android's Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). That makes it very hard to create an exploit that reliably does something like install malware.
Here's a link from The Verge.
One good thing to come out of all this is that from now on Samsung and Google (for the Nexus line) will release monthly security updates.

I have different results. I'm on stock lmy48i, but with Leankernel 2.11: I passed all the tests with the Zimperium app and got a "Not Vulnerable" at the end.

It looks like the testing app had inaccurqte detection and therefore was updated. Update the app and try again.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/co...ght_vulnerability_details_stagefright/cttbs4d

Looks like the Zimperium app has been fixed. The new version now reports LMY48I as not vulnerable. Hopefully the problem is solved.

I think maybe version 2.0 of the app, which fixes the false-positive problem for case CVE-2015-3826, just skips this test altogether, unless the app's screen is just wrong.
Notice that this case, one of 7 cases comprising Zimperium's reported vulnerability, is missing.
(This screenshot is from my own unpatched phone running build LYZ28E, so the overall warning of Vulnerable is surely correct. )
