Uhm, thanks for the reply, but I'm still unable to find these favorites (heart) icon. Is it when you swipe left or right, or where is it supposed to be? I'm really sorry for this, but please be more specific, or post a screenshot of it. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
I may have missed this somewhere, but I no longer have the option to select Fast as a sharing option when selecting photos from the gallery or my QuickPic app. Is this on purpose or a bug? I can still upload from Fast itself but I'd like to be able to do it from other apps also. I have the latest version installed, but noticed this on the previous build also.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thx!!

Friends Frieds-lists are not support yet! I don't understand the issue about pictures/album. You can't see any album or the album are there and the pictures don't load?

Well, you have added someone to the favorites, right? On the right menu, under LIsts there must be a new one called favorites. Screenshot:

Hi, well nothing has changed on the share feature. Have you tried to reboot the phone?
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Sorry man. I rebooted earlier when I had to swap out my battery. I just tried again and not only has Fast reappeared on the share menu but several other items too. I guess she just needed to restart!

Thanks again. I love this app. Just wish sending and accepting friend requests were possible. Damn 3rd party API limitations!
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
No problem! I am glad to hear that you solved! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Triads123:
all pictures and albums from my friends i can see. but pictures and albums from people that are not friend with me i don´t see. pic 1

I also have noticed that when I search names they does not show. in the favebook app works without problems (pic 2 and 3)

ant not all images will be displayed in the news to me. if I change the performance on high performance it is displayed. (pic 4 and 5)

sorry for my bad english. hope you can understand it ;)

but the app is better than the original facebook app in any point :)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thx for the screenshots. Some people blocks third party apps so you can't see anything, including albums. There is nothing to do, except to contact the person and told that third party apps are not so devil :D

Anyway, about the pictures issue, I think that to avoid a crash the image display system avoids to show the pic. What's your phone and os version?
[Android Apps and Games] Triads123:
Got the lg p880 and cm11 at the moment.

Thanks for he quick answer ;)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I have to investigate on this issue, maybe the photo is really big and the phone can't render it.

Can you send me the size of a photo that you can't open?

PS: Performance works because I bypass original pic and resize it before the rendering. In this way also the bandwidth usage is lower!
[Android Apps and Games] Triads123:
80kb But that's relatively little and can't be possible (downloaded it with original Facebook app) ? When I download it in high performance it is 44kb (downloaded with your app)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I don't know why, but I think that Fast is under a "rating attack". In few minutes the rating dropped from 4 stars to 3.9 and 1star ratings are increasing every minute. Of course are all 1 star without any comment.

I don't know what to think and I hope that Google will provide me full support to stop this and remove all these fake ratings. Why on earth someone would do this?!?!? :mad:

edit: I've managed to track the ratings of 8 hours ago thank to google cache. At least 200 1stars fake ratings have hit the app.
[Android Apps and Games] gigermunit:

[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:

The layout now is much more better, you will see in the next update.

It's strange that u don't have the fast scroll.. what rom have you got?

Thx giger!!

By the way, I am building a security lock against "human spies" :D

What do you think?

You have to enter 4 digits to access fb every time you open it. That's it. :D

I like it and it seems very simple and light. I noticed one issue so far (not really an issue maybe?). When I click on pictures that are upload by friends, they are rather small.. and not loaded full sized.. zooming in just makes them look blurry... I'm running the high quality one.. not performance ;)
[Android Apps and Games] UnSkilleD:

app isnt compatible with my device...

I have seen this app on my friends phone and when i tried to install it, i was saddened with the fact that its apparently incompatible with my device. i have a rooted vivid with the ICS update and my screens dpi is set to 190. i set the dpi back to 240 and cleared the play store's data and it still shows as not compatible.. any way to get around this issue?

thanks,

Dagnus
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Well, that's strange, fast facebook manifest is like that:

...
<supports-screens
android:smallScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:largeScreens="true"
android:xlargeScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true" />

..

So the market has to be compatible with all display. Maybe it's a temp issue... I don't know, I will investigate for sure.

Thx.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I know about this issue. To have maximum quality possible for photos I have to check the api response. Maybe I will solve for 1.4 update, 1.5 for sure. Thx for the feedback ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dagnus:
i do know from experience that play store has its own checks when showing apps that are compatible for a device.. is it possible that the manifest is never even hit? i managed to get the app installed on my phone, but i had to clear cache on my device and data on the store and then it showed as compatible. very strange issue.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Yep, It's something related to the Play Store.. hope that they fix something :|

Hey, I've seen several bugs in the latest version.

1. I can't seem to watch a video from a post in landscape view, just portrait. (even if I rotate the phone several times it stays in portrait)

2. In the "wall" view, if there is no picture or video in a post, there is just a big blank space instead (in my case white as I use the white theme).

3. The favorites, just show posts from the pages I added, not the whole page (or did I do something wrong?), if I than click on one of the posts and click "go to story", it opens a new blank page with question marks on it and no other info. Can you make it so that the whole bookmarked page is displayed as a shortcut, on which you click and than it brings you to the page, instead of mixed posts from all the bookmarked pages (as it seems to be now).

Thanks for your work and glad that Google solved your issue.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Hi! First of all thank you for the feedback, let's see what can I do here :D

1. Seems odd, I didn't change the code of video view. I will check.

2. Usually it doesn't show the image when there is no link... I have to investigate!

3. Yep favorites are a collector of the feeds from different sources! I have to run a test for "Go to story" ;)

I will think to add favorites pages and friends quick buttons, but the list has a different aim. :good:

Hi.

The notifications for groups are not open the news or group. Is this a Facebook limitation?

Request:

Is it possible that this information if you scroll down automatically disappear?
[Android Apps and Games] bandit95ta:
Hey just tried this app and love it! A couple of questions I was curious about. When typing someone's name to tag them in a post it doesn't seem to tag them. Is that just a feature that's missing from this app? And also when posting a picture it won't let me add a comment. It just posts the pic. Is that also normal? Other than that the app is rock solid.
[Android Apps and Games] siddarthsmallya:

[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Good idea! I will fix group notifications too, I can't click on them too :/ Thank you!

Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback and sorry for the tardy reply. Anyway, tagging is limited by Facebook and for now it's not possible via Fast.

If you want to write a text associated with a photo you can go in the update status view and add one photo. Multi upload doesn't have this feature.

Thx again!

[Android Apps and Games] SlashSpeed:
This is god send! I can't thank you enough for this app. I was sick and tired of the official facebook app. Update twice a day, bugs everywhere, slow even on a quad-core device, but this app just blew my mind. Already uninstalled the official one. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you guys! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] pemell:
Just installed the pro app. Keep up the good work.

To give some feedback I still think the app can be polished a little. The sharp edges could be a little little rounded for exemple :)

And I needed to work out the colors in settings for the about text of my groups to be visible. The text was dark, even If I choose the light text in settings.

Anyway :thumbsup: for a better alternative then stock facebook.
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Better than all the rest and getter better all the time.

Wish Facebook would allow us to have more group features.

I wish it too! :D Thank you!

In love with this app. Two requests or three. For one be able to click on a notification and it take you to that specific notification. Two be able to link stuff directly into a group. And three I can't seem to find the option to delete a post I made in a group that using the official app I would be able to delete. Besides that it is amazing

[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Notifications are tricky, but I am improving the "algorithm" (including group notifications). Direct share to a group is possible, I have to test it a bit!

About third request, it's not possible to delete content that is not created by Fast. This is a limitation made by Facebook to protect your account from third party apps. You never know, there are alot of "devil" apps out there!

Thank you for the feedback!

Fast Messenger!

Hi guys!

During these days I have worked on the Fast Widgets app and I have decided to include a messenger app with the set of widgets.

The messenger it's a bit different from Fast, it stays in background and sends notifications when someone writes to you. It can also be used to reply to group messages! It includes a widget that shows your friends’ status (online/offline) list directly in the home screen.

One tap on an online friend and it will open the messenger with the selected friend. You can always open Fast Messenger from the launcher!

Messenger features:

- Online people

- Inbox

- Group messages

- Notifications

- Online People Widget

Hey tao :)

Found a little bug. When you long press on a message that is still in composition field on messages view and tap on select all the text and the surrounding field are the same colour. Nothing big just a little cosmetic issue.

Great pleasure as always to use your app. Could even make a few of my friends buy your app :)

You can still use groups but FaceBook limits what they allow.

Otherwise, this is better.

[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Hi! Can you send me a screenshot? :D Thank you so much!

Hello! I use the official youtube app apis, so Fast directly use the yt engine to render the video. I think that I can add a control that opens other yt apps if yt is not installed. ;)

I always say that it's impossible to replicate official features, but if you don't mind to use Fast for almost everything and maybe the web browser for the few things that fast can't do, your phone will thank you so much. Ah, just one thing, Facebook official app asks too many permissions :D

Notifications are under a big stress :D I have to find the time and improve the service. Sorry for the issue. Try to reboot the phone and reinstall the app in the meanwhile.

Well, if you have created a list on Facebook web site and the lists are already loaded on Fast, there is no way to refresh them. The only way is to clean the app and login again. I know it's bad design choice, I will add a refresh :)

Yep, if you have the pro version (also a cracked apk xD) you will not see any ads.

It's active! No ads for pro users! :D
[Android Apps and Games] cm2003:
I really like your App. However I don't really like it's design. Also some functionalities are missing (can't recall one right now though :D).

For me Klyph is my reference in Facebook clients. I love it's design and also pretty much all functionalities of Facebook are included. Unfortunately he stops his development and might make it open source. So maybe you can catch up with him at least for the design? :P

I'm Fast Pro User almost since the first our and I highly appreciate your work and also see a lot of change since the first versions. Just the design :*(

Gesendet von meinem HTC One mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Well, I know that Fast has a simple design, but it is easy to use and customize. Klyph is really similar to Google+ and I don't want to completely create a "mirror" of google+. I will improve the design but It will not be something like klyph :D

Fast is light because there are simple layouts, with no animations and low levels of hierarchy. The hard thing is to find a good compensation between the design and the performance. For example, a big difference that I have noticed is that with a good typography the overall visual quality of the app improved a lot. So, I think that the design of the app will slowly improve using these kind of "tricks". Huge and immediate changes are not possible, because people learn really slowly and they get used to the flow and design.

We are talking about 1 million active users, so you can understand how much is difficult to make everyone happy. All the third party apps are a lot below of 500k users (klyph for example is 10k, friendcaster 300k).

Btw, I will never stop the development and I will always try to improve the app :) If you have some ideas please write them down and we will discuss them!

Thank you for the feedback.

I purchased the app and doesn't found bad, special the choosable timeline...

Ok, it need still additional a bit coding to have the choosen layout in the complete app incl. the messenger.

Only the layout with the ruler confused me a bit because I awaiting the ruler between messages. But it's no problem to choose another layout ;)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thx ;)

Noce to hear! But what do you mean by the "ruler"? Thx!
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
hey tao, sent you the screenshot via pm. i think you will get what i was trying to describe ;)

for the thing with the ui, i personally like it as i think the key to everything is simplicity :) but i do also like the possibility of customization. so i suggested the custom colour picker to you and it was implemented.

now i have another suggestion but i do not know whether it´s worth a consideration.

have you heard about a new sms app called evolve sms?

here are a few links.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klinker.android.evolve_sms

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2608958

they built in an engine that allows you to use different themes that are downloadable via playstore as a little apk file.

but the most remarkable thing is that they provide the regular user a zip file and instructions how to create your own theme.

it would be great if fast would offer a similar solution/approach. you could maintain little file size while satisfying many wishes regarding the ui. also you could try to build up a google plus community around it that would spread the word about fast for facebook even more. :)

here is their github link

https://github.com/klinker41

there is the pdf instruction and the above mentioned zip file.
[Android Apps and Games] cm2003:
Sorry, maybe my critics in terms of design have sounded worst than it was meant to be.

When I was talking about design I wasn't just talking about the look. It looks slim and good. Also the 3 choices are good - even if I have to say that here really Klyph is my preference. I just like this picture description on top of the picture etc. I think it's also practical, as all information are given while it doesn't take too much space and is still clearly readable. This is what I would wish of Fast for Facebook, as either the pictures are small or everything takes a lot of space. :)

When I was talking about the design I also thought about small problems. For example: when the pictures are loading the timeline might be jumping. What really annoys me is when watching a video, coming back to the timeline scrolling a bit and bam I'm totally lost because Fast for Facebook just jumped over like 5-10 posts.

Also swiping left or right on profiles tend to be fairly difficult for me :)

So there are smaller glitches which I count also to the design, even though the design basically looks neat.

Ps: sorry I'm writing on my smartphone and my English isn't as good as I wish it would be :)

That's what annoys me about the official fb app.

The timeline jumps around.
[Android Apps and Games] tom0:
I mean the horizontal line, under the name and the profile picture, in the last 2 timeline layouts.

If you choose special colours you doesn't see the message box and you think that these line is between the messages.

On the right screen, with the messages, you see the difference (which I mean) if you look on both.

Timeline the line under the name and message window the line between the messages.

Maybe you can thought about to apply the timeline and settings layout on the messages, too...

And maybe you can add some more space on the header between the content list of the message window. In English it is possible clear but I thought on the first view what a "messagenotice" is because it look like the first two points are one word ;)

Thanks
