Hi taomorpheus,

First, the Recommend fast still errors.

Second, I cannot open the thread in Group section. I mean, I can open the feeds in group, but when I want to open one of the thread, its just blank and do nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] kodrnusa:
i have i9000 840x480 :)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Well, guys I wish you a merry Christmas!

I will be off-duty for two days... need some relax! In the meanwhile you can always write here or send me a pm.

I am really proud of our group! Have a nice holiday!!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] ahmadsamhann:
happy holiday man. come back with more unique updates :D:highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
I'm really proud of our dev lol XD

Have a happy Christmas and a nice rest :)

Merry Christmas, get some rest and enjoy the holiday

Not useable on my tablet as the profile pictures and any photos in my news feed are constantly flickering (might not be as bad on a phone as you can't see as much on screen)
[Android Apps and Games] .xxx.:
Here are my issues/suggestions, i hope it helps you in further development :

1. There should be a pull to refresh option in every post i goto (like in the official and most of the other third party fb apps)

2. The autorefresh problem still exists.

Whenever i open fast, the previous cached news feeds still exists for some time. And when the autorefresh is done, the cached news feeds stays unchanged along with the current news feeds. Meaning - the old news feed isnt updated with the number of likes and comments.

3. Because of autorefresh (i think), when i click on a post, it loads some other post instead. I have to wait a long time for the app to be updated with news feeds properly.

4. I can add photos properly to particular albums but not on my status. Even links are not updated via status.

5. Messages tab. Not all previous messages are shown. Even when i scrol up, it doesn't. Am i doing something wrong :-/ ?

6. Profile tab needs some more features like about/pics/albums

7. Pull to refresh needs some more optimizing for smoothness.

8. The status updates that i post or someone else post needs to show who and how many liked the post.

9. umm.. i know this one is a repeat but there should be more features for users owning fan pages.

10. At times, the timings shown in the notification isnt correct cuz my friend comment abouf 1/2 an hour back and fast showed it like "3 hours back".

Are these problems existing only for me? Or other using are facing it too.?

Oops.. there were a lot i thought you can improve and concentrate on. I hope that i didnt hurt your feelings :P this was suggestions/problems i faced.

Btw i have uninstalled all the other third party fb apps and the official app because i just love fast for facebook. It can further be improved... Good luck bro :)
[Android Apps and Games] ms_green:
Some more feedback from me:

Your app used to be lightening fast but lately it is very laggy. I can barely scroll and right now it is unusable for me. Maybe its my phone (600mhz, single core...) but it used to work so well ... Ive even switched to the official fb app for a moment but after seeing its logcat i really dont want to use it anymore ...
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Eheheh Thank you guys! How was the holidays?

I've noticed this on bigger screens. Please wait few days for the next release!

Wowo!!!

First of all, never think to be annoying! Feel free to write every issue or idea, the strength of Fast is that is built on the community needs, not mine!

1. I will extend the pull to refresh to other views, but first I've to improve it (7 too)

2. The news feed is cached in order to save bandwidth. When the algorithm "feels" that there is a huge time difference between 2 news it refreshes the contents. I don't know if it worthwile to refresh 200-300 news feeds every time... right? :)

3. How much time? I have to wait 2-3 secs on wifi, 6-7 on 3G

4.5.6.9 These are in the roadmap

8. I don't understand this.. you can check who has put like!

10. Where do you come from? Maybe there is something wrong with your time zone

Have you updated to 1.97? I don't feel this lag, and I use also an old 2.1 device (single core, bad cpu, no gpu)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Hello guys!!!

During holidays I have created a new layout for the news feed. I want to test it before the release.

I need some help for the testing, the project is becoming too big for me and I can't follow everybody... someone interested? :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Zahih:
As usual taomorpheus,

I do... Just gimme the apk :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] .xxx.:
Thanks will always help you with the feedbacks and issues..

1. Thanks. Will wait for that update.

2. Cached. I guess you are right. But the problem is because of the cache feeds, there are errors in number of likes and comments.

Ex : i post aa status. And i get 2likes and 4 comments within an hour. fast cached it. Even after 1 day, if i refesh the news feeds, it shows 2 likes and 4 comments instead of lets say 10 likes and 8 comments.

3. On 3g, with a speed of 3mbps, it takes around 10 seconds..

4,5,6,9 - thanks for it.

8. When i click a post (say my friend's post) via news feeds, it doesnt show who all have like the post.. or am i wrong? Where to find who all have liked. The only things i see is - like, share and comment.

10. I am from India. You could have check that from my xda profile btw :P hehe..

Suggestion -

1. If i have updated my status, on fb web, i am able to delted each and every comment on my status ( comment from me or my friends).. on fast, i can only delete my comments :P

Btw i am ready to volunteer for your new beta update ;)
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
You can count me in, bro ^^ will report back as soon as you send me and I test it out.
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Count me in :D

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

If you look next to the word "comments", you'll see a thumbs-up symbol, tap that and it shows you who has liked the post :)
[Android Apps and Games] taz1458:
I'm in for a beta.
[Android Apps and Games] dreamland2000:
Fire it across and I will give it a run :)
[Android Apps and Games] .xxx.:
Oops.. sorry.. didnt realise that :) thanks for the help man...
[Android Apps and Games] N3RO815:
You should find a better solution. For example, a private beta forum.
[Android Apps and Games] ahmadsamhann:
I volunteer to be a tester.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Posting here is fine. That's what this forum and community is all about. We try the beta application so that OP can fix the bugs and glitches that we, as beta testers found.
[Android Apps and Games] flyers00:
If you need a tester, please let me know
[Android Apps and Games] N3RO815:
That's true. But he always asks here for beta testers. I meant he did not have to be always asking, but has its testers.

Because to have to ask every time, I find stupid.

In addition, he can then offer his other apps.

Please do not get me wrong, that was no hostility to the forum;)
[Android Apps and Games] jpcdeux:
Does the news feed constantly bounce back to the top for anyone else?
[Android Apps and Games] evie12604:
Happy to test if you still need any help
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Yeah! Here is the best place. We know each other, we know that this thread is active.. why change? :D

You can only delete comments that are made using Fast. Facebook API doesn't give all the permissions to third party apps :( I can't do anything!

I will investigate on point 2.

Thank you for the feedback :)

Thank you for the beta participation!! I will publish the apk very soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Oh yeah! The apk is ready.

The changes to test are:

1) Custom layout choice for news feeds ( you can select 3 type of layouts )

views involved:

main feed, user, page, group, search

preferences view (added tab for layout)

tutorial first time opens layout set

2) Removed a (rare) crash on exit and other bugs

3) Improved main news feed scrolling

4) Changed profile-page-group layout ( this is a first step to the big change)

APK: http://goo.gl/iE3Lh

This is test apk, keep in mind! The download will expire in 24hours :p

Please provide your android device and display size when you find issues or crashes! Thank you guys!!
[Android Apps and Games] jpcdeux:
Note on cm10, Fast has stopped soon as I opened.

Cleared cache, its good. When typing it doesn't capitalize first letter of a new sentence.
[Android Apps and Games] flyers00:
I'm running Fast with CM10.1 and it is opening fine. Only issue is notification don't always work. Other that the app is fine. Hope you get it running
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Just tested the new apk and loving the first compact layout given ;) Shall stick to it for now.

1) Sometimes when I click an individual post's likes and comments, it's taking too long to load. Even when on fiber and have strong Wifi connection.

2) Seeing who likes a post doesn't load everyone. Is it possible to implement pagination? Scrolling down loads more likers.

3) Images should have loading progress bar. Is it possible to implement?

Other than that, everything is working in perfect order ^^
[Android Apps and Games] flyers00:
I agree with you on points 2 and 3. Progress bar would be great to have. Other than spotty notifications with fast notification, everything seems to be working fine. Good job
[Android Apps and Games] jpcdeux:
Am I alone in this?
[Android Apps and Games] Zahih:
Hi taomorpheus,

Thanks for the 'beta' update,

Here is my comments:

1. I love the new custom layout choice for the news feed. I prefer option no 2 for myself. But take a look option no.3 there is little bug of the layout.

http://db.tt/jLrMa58e

2. I cannot open the link with this 1.98 beta version, it says "no Apps can perform this action."

3. I still can not send the messages to the chat group, it still send to each person instead of the chat group.

4. I love the new profile-page-group layout. It's great...

5. Still cannot view the friend profile.

I'm on JB 4.2.1 btw...
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Thanks for the apk, would have picked it up sooner but I you posted it while I was asleep lol

Anyway, on first look, there are a few bugs I've noted, much the same as what other people have noticed as well.

1. In the layout chooser, the text language, is that meant to translate into our native languages? or stay like this:

2. The news feed is jumping around everywhere, it's constantly flickering and bouncing back to the top, the problem here is worse than what we've reported before (Both on Nexus 7 and Huawei Ideos X3)

3. On the upside, the Recommend Fast button is working fine on this apk, still not working in 1.97 pro

4. The notifications and messages lists in the sidebar are taking a long time to load first time (on WiFi)

5. When logging into a second users, their news feed takes a long time to load - well, I say that, it paused for a couple of seconds, but it wasn't instant like the first user. Also it would be great if each user could have their own settings for the UI.

6. It didn't happen on my user, but the second user's display picture had a white border to the top and bottom, even in the tiny thumbnail:

Also if you look you'll see a layout glitch down there with a post tag, just noticed that as I took the screen shot lol.

7. I had one instance of a force close on my Nexus 7 when I tapped on a picture that someone had posted. It never happened again.

8. Opening up Chat took a very long time to load on WiFi, it was a good 10 seconds or so. Only happened the first time on my nexus 7.

9. The security tab in the settings is non-functional on both of my devices... It highlights, but stays on the performance tab.

10. There is a graphical glitch in the layout chooser on the Huawei's small screen... I see someone else posted a screenshot of the same glitch.

Also... What do you mean by profile-page-groups? I see no change in the bottom buttons in the sidebar if that's what you're referring to? Otherwise I'm at a loss...

I'll keep on testing and come up with more things
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
And here's the screen shot that should have accompanied point 9.
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
11. One instance of a force close when going to someone's profile and tapping on the pictures button, and then the force close caused a second force close just before restarting.

Tried to replicate it but it didn't happen again.
[Android Apps and Games] kodrnusa:
Tried the new beta. It's ok, but i like the original news feed the best :) ( first choice of the three)

1, I would just like, to be able to like, link (youtube) or comment buttons on news feed directly, so I didn't have to enter every news feed which I would like to like or comment or see url link (to much steps).

2. Little bit flickering when I refresh still there, sonetimes when I refresh it takes me back to the top but I have already scroled way down.

3. Pictures still to big (would like to fit the screen when I open them and posibility to pinch to zoom).

4.Background picture still doesn't work for me, allways grey background.

5. Possibility to choose the picture upload size, like friendcaster has (sometimes where there is poor network, this would be great option ;) )

6. If I want to update status, I can't add picture (when I click on add picture the keyboard pops out :(

7. When I go to send massage to a friend, there should be also a possibility to add pictures and url links (urls should preload like on regular facebook, that would be great ;) )

8. When I go on youtube from post, when I hit back button, the Fast app force closes.

9. When I go on my or my friends profile, everything is all over another ( the text is over like and comment icons and over my or my friends names (when I'm on there profile) and so, you can hardly read anithing..

I enjoy your app very much, all other Fb apps are gone from my phone ;) Thanks man,

Just bought the app to support the dev.

Its 50% off due to holiday sale :) :)

Brilliant work !!
[Android Apps and Games] ms_green:
Hey :) I recently told you about my problems with your app. (Lag...) I tried un/reinstalling your app and also tried the new beta. Still, norhing changed ... :(

Dont get me wrong, i' m not complaining at all, i 'm just trying to help. :)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
1) Yep, this sometimes happens.. I've to figure out why!

2) Yeah, it's possible, I will work on it in future releases

3) in the zoomed view?

Thank you for the feedback :)

Good to hear! Thx!

I think that I've understand why this happens on some devices, please wait next apk!

1. ok!

2. all links? O_o

3. chat groups are not permitted by Facebook, sorry!

4. thx!

5. what do you mean by that?

1. I don't know... I've put the "lorem ipsum" text just for preview.. Maybe I will add the tutorial text the is translated in other languages, but I don't think it's so important. Right?

2. I am working on it, but in my case it's just on the first seconds, after I don't have any jumps (some flickering, but no jumps)

3. LOL I didn't change anything..

4. Does it happen every time when you the app or just the first time when you installed it?

5. This is a cool idea! Not a priority, but I take notes :P

6. The border is a frame around the pic. For the glitch, I have to remove the new line and put it all on one (is it what you have noticed right?)

8. This depends on facebook server load :(

9. damn thx :D

about profile-page-groups: I've added the box about the user with cover, profile image, profile text. That's it!

Mmm when this happens, try to save the logcat! Thx

1. This can be possible, I have to think about it :D

2. Already replied! (working on it)

3. This happens on 4.0+ devices.. I have to figure it out

4. Can you try to put as background a really small image? Just for test purpose

5. This is useful, adding it in my notes ;)

6. For now you can only add the url of the pic

7. Don't know if facebook apis permit that! I will check

8. Does it happen from main news feed or other views?

9. Can you post a screenshot?

What's your device and screen size?

Wow! Thank you man! :)

I am working on this, please wait the next apk! In the meanwhile, what's your device? Are you using Fast with wifi or 3G? (Sorry If I have already asked you, but It's hard to follow everybody!) Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Not really important, I was only wondering in case it was a problem with translation that had gone unnoticed or if it was meant to stay as "Lorem ipsum" etc...

Yeah the jumps stop after it's fully loaded, then it just jitters afterwards

Heh, and now it is throwing back the same error as before on both the stable and the new apk XD

Ah well, good while it lasted lol

Just the first time after being installed

Okay man, not a big deal anyway lol

Pretty much

Found it, love it XD

The force closes only happen on my Nexus 7, which is unrooted and I can't produce logs for... Plus the fact that they only seem to happen once and aren't able to be replicated would make it hard to log in the first place lol

Im willing too help (: I speak spanish and I do graphic Design & some web.

Looks very nice, going to give this app a try!
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
1) 2) Thanks!

3) If possible, both zoomed view and individual post? ^^ Just some tiny progress bar or indicator so users will know images are being loaded at moment. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ms_green:
Awesome! My device is Htc Legend with some Gingerbread custom rom. I'm using fast for facebook with wifi as well as 3g but the problem stays the same.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
You can take the logcat using an unrooted device! My n7 is unrooted too :D

Thank you for the feedback! I've fixed the glitch and improved the other things!

Thank you!! If you want you can start to try the new apk! :)

3) done!

Ok, thx!
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Hey Guys! New update!!

This apk is based on the issues-ideas that we have discussed:

1) Improved loadings of main news feed and friends list

2) Reduced a lot the flickering on main news feed

3) New layout of news feed boxes for both themes

4) New layout for the action bar (polished, more near to ics-jb style)

Download: http://goo.gl/CtpCE

(This version will be uploaded on google play after some tests!)
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
How? Last I heard the Nexus 7 didn't support logging?

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

I'm unsure about the translucency... Looks great on the simple grey theme but the picture based themes, I'm not sure about.

I'm getting no jumping or jittering on either of the accounts on there, except there was a very limited notification history on my wife's account, only the last 2 notifications are visible in the list even after refreshing.

All the rest of the bugs appear to be sorted, I'll try it out on my Huawei in a sec.
[Android Apps and Games] SystemErrorOne:
Downloading right now (;
[Android Apps and Games] jpcdeux:
Best fast yet! Can't wait for Pro version to hit the Market!
[Android Apps and Games] Zahih:
Hi taomorpheus,

Thanks for the update,

I noticed that loading news feed is more faster than before :thumbup: ,

but can you bring back the full transparency news feed like the previous version, instead of gray transparency like the new one.
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Thanks for the update, but is progress bar on images not implemented ? :(
[Android Apps and Games] ms_green:
Thanks for the update! Good news is: its better than before. Bad news is that its still barely usable for me because i keep getting the message about your app is not responding. (Wait / force close ).

Anyways, i really like the image view and push notifications.(never noticed them before )
[Android Apps and Games] clshack:
i like it :D

In my i9000 is fast :)
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
While on the topic of customisation, why not add in an opacity slider setting? Then users could choose their own transparency on the news feed...
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Well, I use ADB to get logcat when I debug the app, anyway, alogcat works well!

About transparency, I have done a test with opacity 60% and I have lost the integrity of the graphic asset. I need to retry.

(did you solve the notification issue?)

Yeah!

About transparency, read the upper reply

For now xD It's in my notes, don't worry

Have you tried to clean the app? Or maybe reboot the phone? I think that it's something related to your device performance.

Thx btw!

Yeah, this is a good idea, but for now I can't add too many options, added in roadmap!

Thx!
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
The notification issue is still present, not sure what's causing it... It's only on my wife's user, mine is fine
[Android Apps and Games] amit_sen:
@taomorpheus,

First of all, let me say that iam njoying using the app. Its getting better and better with more features getting added :) :)

One point, can we see each pics when someone upload a photoalbum ? Iam unable to do so :(
[Android Apps and Games] winnstorm:
nice work!! i'll give a it a try:fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] .xxx.:
For me, status loads pretty fast but it take more time to load the images than in the previous versions :-/
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thx!! I don't have the permission to get all the pics that an user has uploaded.. The only way it's to open his/her album!

Thank you!

Image load management is not changed lol o.o
