I hope its an older build. It's smooth, but doesn't feel like it will be ready in 4 days. I don't think it was ever made to support the Gnex, only a couple of "supported" devices.

I've been hunting/flashing different zip's for days now and can't seem to find a solution. I can't get dsp manager to have any effect to either headset or phone speaker on either of the above mentioned rom's. I have checked permissions and installed binaries etc... any help would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] jujuburi:
Lol, Facebook Home! AP shared the apk in their tweet, so no credits to me. Install the attached Facebook Home apk and download the Facebook app from Play Store. Then if your phone is not officially supported then you will need to edit the build.prop file, which is accessible by path system/build.pro- Reboot, via any good file manager like Root Explorer.

But then again, I strongly recommend you to NOT edit the build.prop file for such a hype like this, you will face several problems later.

*Update: The Facebook Home apk,

just as a FYI to tmobile s3 users. it works and will installs but once you start opening other apps, it starts to spaz out and the screen doesnt display correctly but it disappears when you un install it so if you wann take a look, go ahead.

It was working, yet when you open the facebook home now,it shows u that "find on build page" Seems, Facebook shut down the shell
[Android Apps and Games] knuckles1978:
I got that when I first installed it, and clicked on the writing. Screen goes grey while your content loads then it's working.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsubasa9:
you using leaked on 1st page ?
[Android Apps and Games] locolyric:
didn't saw the permissions.

But the facebook home pop up automatically before the 3.1 facebook update. and now there is only blank screen.
[Android Apps and Games] monkeypaws:
Well seeing as itnhasnt officially released yet well have to wait and be patient. Obviously the leak isn't going to work for everyone. I'm sure then launcher won't work on anything other the officially supoorted phones and will have to be ported ton other devices and screen resolutions.

[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
That really sucks. Obviously, the leaked apk worked for everyone, i barely saw a "my device isn't compatible" when the leaked one was still working, it's obviously a marketing strategy, kinda dumb, but i'm sure it could be bypassed by modifing build.prop, just like we did with the MystUL for the home apk to work... Facebook keep dissapointing me
[Android Apps and Games] monkeypaws:
But as I said eve n if you modify the build prop there will be issues with screen resolution so a dev will have to fix that

If you are using compatible device, install latest facebook app (3.1) & messenger app from play store.

then install leak home apk (37kb), press home button, and choose facebook home as default launcher.

[Android Apps and Games] geonixx:
I'm on the Motorola RAZR HD.

I can confirm editing my build.prop to make it appear as if I'm on the Note 2 appears to make things work.

Before - I could not SMS from facebook messenger and the "enable home" option was not there on the new facebook build.

After editing build.prop - and this may be key - uninstalling and redownloading the new facebook apps, I know have those options and a link (currently non-working) to download home when its available.

Hope this helps!
[Android Apps and Games] RahuL PateL:

[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Hang on, making a cwm backup before doing anything... I also never edited build.prop to look totally like another device :P, just copying some things from sg3 build prop
[Android Apps and Games] UchihaKite:
I believe the build file is in your root folder, in the folder system o.O I'd look but I am at work xD
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
YOu mean, setted perms in /data/app or you moved it to /system/app?
[Android Apps and Games] geonixx:
Correction, made it look like a Note 2. There are a lot of guides to edit build.prop files on XDA already - use the search.

Here are the following lines I changed to make my RAZR HD appear like a Note 2 to facebook:

(change these lines ONLY and make sure you backup and backup the backup - I'm not responsible if you brick your phone or catch it on fire, etc etc):

ro.product.model=GT-N7100

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.name=t03gxx

ro.product.device=t03g

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-samsung

Then do a little reboot, uninstall your existing facebook & messenger apps, then reinstall them from the market.

Once again for the RAZR HD only (I'm also rooted and have an unlocked bootloader - don't know if that makes a difference).

Home doesn't work yet - but the setting to enable it is there (still goes to empty link on the market - so no apk people) and SMS is now enabled and working in the Facebook Messenger app.
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
THanks, sorry i searched for sg3 and found nothing :P

I can confirm that works for every device, you will need to modify the build.prop with ES File Explorer.

In my case, because i have samsung was:

ro.product.model=GT-I9300

ro.product.name=m0xx

ro.product.device=m0

Next step was clear data from play store and reboot the device.

And facebook home appears from facebook config.

Tested on SGS2.

[Android Apps and Games] Dayfid:
Working on Nexus 7 in Canada. I just edited my Build.prop file to match the SIII and launched the Home app. Works nice.
[Android Apps and Games] anerik:
Ok, if anyone facing probs, here's a tut i made with all the info from the late posts:

1) First of all, install Facebook and Messenger.

2) Now, edit your build.prop (ROOT REQUIRED). Using any root file manager, go to /system and either copy build.prop to PC and edit using Notepad++, or edit it with a text editor from your file manager (ES File Manager is pretty nice).

Locate all these:

ro.product.model
ro.product.brand
ro.product.name
ro.product.device
ro.product.manufacturer
ro.com.google.clientidbase

And make it look like this:

ro.product.model=GT-N7100
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=t03gxx
ro.product.device=t03g
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-samsung

Now, reboot.

3) Uninstall Facebook and Messenger, then open Play Store in your Smartphone, and install then again. GO to facebook app, log in, go to settings, and top bottom you should see "Enable Facebook Home". Don't check it, it won't work.

4) Install the APK leaked here, and you are good to go. Everything should work 100%
[Android Apps and Games] Garner:
Got it fully working now all you need to do is change your build prop to one of the supported devices like the note 2 from a few pages back, then install the apk from the market
