UPDATED TO 3.7!!!

Only one issue, when you click the messages button on the main screen when looking at the news feed, the images for "read" status, the little check mark or arrow, do not show up in that view, however, if you click the message feed of that person, then they will show up. Its the only issue and its not fixable. Its just a simple compiler bug.

Also, i noticed there were 3155 downloads for version 3.3 :) However, only 78 thanks.. Lets make them match please ;) This stuff takes a lot of time to do!
[Android Apps and Games] skttrbrain:
This is fantastic, thank you elesbb. However, is there any way to disable the update prompt? I'm running the most recent version and I'm getting it on every start.

[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
Re: [APP][MOD] Facebook v2.2.1 without location privelages

Wait i do remember reading a thread about that on my Galaxy S3 forum for T-Mobile. Somebody thought it was a malware attack and i second their opinion because apps do not have the right to update outside the play store. Which is stated in your link. But apparently its legit. I personally wouldnt download it. If someone can get me a screenshot of the update message, i can prolly remove it. According to that link, it seems to be an update to test new features. So its almost like a beta release.

But either way, they technically shouldnt be doing that xD

Well i use my current app killer app that i wrote to kill it. So mine is not staying alive. But it might help since its not tracking your location anymore.

Re: [APP][MOD] Facebook v2.2.1 without location privelages

Is yours getting stuck in a permanent sync mode as well? I have all syncing turned off, and it just gets stuck Attempting to sync for HOURS
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
What is trying to sync? If you could get a log of your battery stats i could figure out which service is causing this. I could prolly cancel it all together if its say trying to sync contact names. Unless you want that. After i remove this versions locations, i may not kill it on my device and see if i have any issues with battery wakelocks. However, i may not since are use and settings are different.
[Android Apps and Games] Kobraki17:
Doh! Looks like I had another FB contact act going rogue in the background. Didn't fully read the Better Battery Stats readout, only saw the Katanna Facebook part and stopped reading :p Thanks anyway! And double thanks for the app removing the GPS! :good:

Re: [APP][MOD] Facebook v2.2.1 without location privelages

[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
Re: [APP][MOD] Facebook v2.2.1 without location privelages

OP UPDATED (MediaFire link only this time :P)

This was a bit tougher than the others. They keep changing how it gets your location. I swear they are aware of this version xD Have no idea why they care so much but they will never outsmart me! :)

About the version which includes the ability to still "check in" and tag your location on statuses and photos, i am having an issue with the map not being displayed. I think its just an install issue but i havent really had time to test it yet.

I am also going to do a "light" version of the app. One without so many freaking permissions. I think i counted like 22+ or something along that number. Freaking ridiculous. lol. However, it WILL break features. But i personally dont use these features so it doesnt bother me. For instance, contact sync. And others have no value to me. So i will be making a version with permissions like only needing internet, camera, and storage permissions. I still cannot wrap my head around the necessity for so many permissions. However, i do understand some people use every feature they implement but i dont understand why they still need those permissions and why they are used even though i do not use all those features. Oh well, this is why i love android. I can always make something better ;)

Facebook messenger doesn't track your location. Just disable location services from settings.

Well duh, when you clear an apps data, you do exactly that. it no longer has anything saved. So your log in information is gone. Thus yeilding the need to re-enter it each time. So stop clearing the app data and you wont have to log in every time.
[Android Apps and Games] Domoo:
I understand that but with the stock app, it'll automatically sign you in via your Facebook app even if you clear the data. I was just curious as to why this is. The location services don't really bother me, but I'd prefer not to have them without any other sacrifice. I was just bringing it to your attention. Sorry for the trouble.

1.Develop it yourself.

[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
It is a great idea. I may incorporate a root method to kill it as well as a standard method, root killing terminates everything and keeps it terminated. System.exit just exits the thread and dipsoses all resources but allows things to be restarted.
