I just came across this wonderful app that provides a native facebook client for android.
Tha app has been out for just 2 days and already is receiving great support from its developer with constant updates as new features are implemented and bugs are ironed out.
Although its a paid app the developer has been kind enough to provide an alternative method of purchasing the app to those that don't have access to google's paid market through slideme.org.
The app costs $1.49 and I can say its well worth every penny. I have been using it since morning with no problems what so ever.
The developer its quite active and promises new features with future releases. For more details refer to his blog: http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/
I believe we should support such developers that put a lot of effort in providing android with such great apps.
Can't make comments in Chinese It sends them in garbage code. Refunded.
EDIT: It reads them fine, just can't REPLY.
i cant see it in the market yet.....can anyone provide a down load link for bloo?
I love how the OP wrote as if he wasn't the author of the app... which he is. At least be honest and say you're plugging your own app!
It looks good, and I'm definitely going to pick it up soon, so there's no need to be sneaky.
I purchased it yesterday, and I think its great. But is it only me, or does it load The Feed slow, even on wireless?
can someone pls give me a link from when i can get this bloo?
its not there in the market,im in india...

their is a lite version , which states to be exactly the same as the paid , for now at least
does anyone know whatever happened with this home replacement? Tried to get in the beta never received an email
Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Not really sure, and I find it ironic that the TAT homepage says there's an update about TAT Home FAQ, but the link takes you to a dead page, and the TAT Home homepage is dead as well... Perhaps the FAQ update was telling people that's it's a failed project? Haha. Not sure, I was really hoping for an actual release though.
EDIT: Ok, nevermind, the page isn't down... it's just stuck in an infinite redirect loop and throws the browser an error. Ironic that a great set of developers and programmers managed to goof up and keep redirecting to the same page over and over...haha. Their Home Page says it's available for OEMs and Developers though *shrugs*
IRC I believe a few people here recieved it to Beta test.
However they were not allowed to disclose it, shame I signed up for the test aswell.
i remember hearing about tat home. i hope it hasn't become vaporware
dnf!
TAT Home has only been available to vendors. It's not going to show up anytime soon as download in the market. It is stated that way on their website and has been said before. If anyone is really wishing for it to come out soon, they may end up being disappointed unless there is a big surprise from the makers. The beta has been going on for a bit, but there is nothing to go on to actually acquiring it yet.
IMO I think TAT may be short-changing themselves by not offering this in the market....even if they brought out a "lite" version it would at least it would get a following which may in-turn be the deciding factor for some people choosing buy their products in the future. But now most of us were just sold(not in a literal sense though) a dream.
As Swype is only available as a closed beta or as release within an OEM build, it should not be posted, or linked on XDA.
I'm the beta community relations rep for Swype (Brian Resnik, if you're over on the Swype forums).
First of all, yes we're watching you HAHA. I'm obligated to wag my finger at you all for distributing our software without a license. A little patience will go a long way. Trust me, the more the brass hears about people illegally copying Swype and feeling entitled to a free version (yes, we know there's no copy on the market for you to buy, but you have to respect that OEM distribution is our chosen business model), the less they want to support a beta program at all. The better we play nice with eachother, the sooner more people get into the beta!

@mssmison
But you know... I will buy Swype first day it will be released - thanks to these leaks
Swype has updated their page with the new beta instructions. It appears at this point to be a limited public beta, as it will only be available for a couple of days, and requires you to enter your email address to get the download.
So threads with download links will still not be allowed.

You do realize that the whole point of this thread is to say not to post the APK, right?
When they take off the stupid download limit for the Beta for registered testers, I'll actually support not posting links.

Yeah, I understand. I just wanted to know whether I should not download it too many times, but backup&install it instead.
Gents,
I think Ive abused my swype membership --- ive installed it maybe at least 30 times on two phones since March. I've lost the "swype" function and it is basically a nice blue HTC_IME standin. No complaints, but wheres the swype at on Swype?
Droid X comes with it stock. Beautiful app. I might have known someone (a friend of course) who hooked his friends up with Swype on their HTC Eris's. He told me that he went and Googled it and found it pretty quick.

I understand that you have chosen a particular business model. I think however that it is unfair that it is not sold via the Android Market. What about phones like the Nexus One which now is an official developers phone? The Nexus One did not come with Swype and I would like to have the option to use it. (And yes, I did sign up at swypeinc's website waiting for the beta to reopen) Unless you give people the chance to purchase your product people will find ways around your chosen business model. I haven't myself downloaded the apk and I agree xdadevelopers should heed your warning.
I'm not really sure what the hang up is for the swype "brass." This program is being released on select phones already, right? Plus I've never heard complaints about it and would love to try it too. I'd gladly pay for something like this (after a trial) so I'm not really sure what the deal is.
Most of us love new software to play with and improve our phones with. However, a big turn-off for us can also be controlling companies like this. If they don't start providing us a valid route to buy or at least use this product, then they're going to lose in the end. The community is large enough we can throw together our own program to do this crap. Hell, shapewriter keyboard already does this and is free to boot and since I can't even use swype, it might as well not exist in the realm of gesture-based keyboards as far as I'm personally concerned.
I must concur with the rest of the community when I say that choosing not to retail a highly requested, fully functional app shows that the Swype folks are off their rockers. However, if they don't want us to obtain their app and lose customers as a result, that is their prerogative. I'm sure most of us will just find the APKs elsewhere online.
Can this be true?

I think its a fake...
Nobody uses cwm in p7.
On xda i cant find anything.
It's fake on obviously add new says xda tutorial and that's nothing in this section on it or the other areas for our p7.
As above no cwm on p7 twm is what is used it seems, also he doesn't state model number remember there all imcompatible the roms as all the l10 people are unhappy that's no Dev emui 3 ROM or that device.
The kernel has only been recently released publicly for our devices and you will see any custom rom on this forum is a early test version.
The screenshot is edited KOT49H is the 4.4.2 build number lollipop uses something else and is a white background I'm running it on my nexus 10 right now.
Also emui 3.0 on 4.4 isn't out till next week.
I do hope huawei release a v5 lolipop rom but when or if they will announce it I don't know.
Allot of companies like to sell new devices than update them to the new versions.
These scams have been going round for years for many things not just android Roms where they take something and sightly edit it and put links behind a survey host.
If you need anymore proof it's a scam it has URL stuff to rewrite the article as you can see here on my attempt at a funny test.
http://www.lollipop-rom.org/mp3-/this-site-is-a-scam-dont-use-this-guide-to-update-6124.html
Also since yesterday when I sent a message inquiring about things the person quietly changed the screenshots and stuff from a black to white background based on my inquiry to fool people even more.
Just found out the comments are in an iframe from a totally different site as well as other things by looking at the site code.
Here is the WHOIS details of the site with contact details of the owner if anyone is wondering.
Going a google I found other sites linked to the email related to android etc and a forex scam thing.
Also a registered street address in indonesia connected to the accounts.
I have compiled some info and submitted it to google the best I can as there's no official way to submit this stuff.
So for now this thread can die until Huawei announces a proper lollipop version.
Android 5 and down want to downgrade what can i do ?

I am trying to get it through apps Firmware Finder and DNS changer. See screenshots.
Steps how to do it:
1. Install Firmware Finder;
2. Install DNS Changer
3. Open Firmware Finder;
4. Find your firmware (matching model No and C###) and click on it;
5. Click "Get update through DNS (beta)";
6. In DNS Changer change DNS to 81.177.139.39
7. Go to System update and check for updates.
8. After all of this you will get the ability to download the latest update, but server connection fails when I click install (with set DNS address you get the message "Server temporarily unavailable) or authorization fails if disable DNS changer..

What's your location ? I wonder if I can force that update through VPN/IP change.
The question is, have you been able to install this update?
You can only install with FF if the update is approved by Huawei for your device (in which case you should be getting an OTA update anyway).
If it's not approved by Huawei for install, you can use FunkyHuawei.

So does anyone else here have a problem seeing this spam for expensive paid services on XDA?
Remember when this site used to be about sharing the love with fellow members, rather than making cash by simply redistributing firmware.
I don't imagine Huawei would like this guy selling their software, even if XDA is taking a cut of his profits.

just got my mate 10 pro, first time huawei user and did not expect to pay for a firmwareupgrade.
i get that he discovered a method to authenticate the firmware so the device recognize it and thats a nice accomplishment but why charge other users for that?? he just injects some code through his dns server.. in my opinion every thread should be deleted that covers funkyhuawei and the user should be permabanned..

If the infrastructure to install firmwares were as simple as you describe, it would be available for free. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as simple as you describe.
FH incurs costs to provide things that are charged for, including the authentication of installations, the unbricking, the rebranding, and so on. On top of that, maintenance, R&D, support, and so on is a full-time job. That's why users need to be charged. Things like rooting the Mate 10 which don't cost FH are provided for free, even though R&D was necessary to accomplish it. Same goes for the TWRP versions we've released. It's nowhere near as profitable or as evil as you presume it is. The service could not possibly run if the users were not charged.
Regardless, there's absolutely no reason you'd need to use the service to install updates. You can wait for them to be released by Huawei and get them for free. It's simply an alternative for people who want to do things they otherwise can't, and it's not FH's fault that Huawei created this problem in the first place.
Maybe it's time to get this post back on topic, no?
hello you can maybe offer a 1 credit to xda people for one free flash that will be christmas gift

Xda developers are getting their $$$ through donations and it’s understandable that most users will not like what you do
I am all up for donating my heard earned money to devs @XDA. I ain't no Warran Buffet (net worth 77.7 billion USD), but I donate about 25-50 EUR to each and every xda developer whose services/ROM I use and since I am switching between phones like every 5/6 months I donate quite a lot of money, but as soon as I saw your FunkyHuawei support thread/ https://funkyhuawei.club/ I was like naaaaaah I ain’t using it, especially because the way the credit system is built – before I bought ALP-L29 which I don’t need to rebrand to, I was thinking of buying ALP-L00 instead and rebrand it through https://funkyhuawei.club/ which would cost me 2 credits, but in that case I would have 3 credits left, since the minimum you can buy is 5 credits for 31 USD. That already looks like a rip-off.
I wonder whether if you would get more $$$ through donations than you do through your FunkyHuawei credit system..
Don’t get me wrong. It’s cool that such service exist (I’ve had one xiaomi phone for quite some time without the option to rebrand it/re-flash it and remove all Chinses stuff out of it, so I have been "there"), but you should either limit mentioning your paid service in every other topic and stick to one thread (FunkyHuawei support thread) or change your pricing policy enabling the option to buy a single 1 credit/single service (rebranding, for example), otherwise hate-posts will go on
Take care

So check out the longstanding Forum rules :
7. Do not spam, sell or trade on the forums.
If you wish to advertise a product, simply contact us. We can provide ads but you are not permitted to just post it in the forums. If you do, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software or commercial services, unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay-per-click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use XDA-Developers as a means to make money.
And most importantly, The one that embodies the mindset of this forum to me : the sharing of tools and knowledge and not charging other members for services ..
12. Sharing
XDA-Developers is based on the principle of sharing to transmit knowledge. This is the cornerstone of our site. Our members and developers freely share their experience, knowledge, and finished works with the rest of the community to promote growth within the developer community, and to encourage those still learning to become better. There are those, however, who take advantage of this model and try to make personal gains from the hard work of others.
I think it's just disappointing that you've seen XDA as a way to make more money by simply charging high rates for redistributing Huaweis proprietary firmware, rather than embrace the spirit of all the other Devs who put in a lot of hard work and time to share their creations freely with other passionate members here.
It's like the exact opposite ethos of ROM development and the intention of these forums.
Sorry you view this as off topic.
