Once again, this is a webview app of touch.facebook.com, mate
[Android Apps and Games] :
Inverted colors ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
Am I talking out of my ass, maybe :D? I just dont see how you can change anything on a website? I mean, it's possible in a browser like Firefox where you can use userstyles and basically do anything you want with a website but can you do this in webview with Chromium?

If so - PLEASE hide that massive annoying "people you may know" or "recommended pages" :(

Not everything has to do with the website itself. Inverted colors for example. I'll see what I can do but first I have to fix some major bugs.

Cixty, you should select few guys with different android versions, like one for 4.0.3, one for 4.1.1-2 etc.

And before uploading to this topic send them to try, and if it works for everyone then upload to forum. Kinda long procedure but it would be better for finding bugs etc. This is just my opinion, do whatever you think its best :)

Photo uploading does not work on my 4.4.4.

Love the blue bar, though I think the contrast on the menu dots needs to be either increased or made white, as the menu icon tends to disappear at a glance.

Also, It might be worth looking into using a slightly different icon for the app, as I confuse both apps :)

[Android Apps and Games] Mariner_1712:
Interestingly, I can get Facebook Mobile to upload photos using my browser (Firefox Mobile Beta,) so theoretically this app should work without new code.

Ah, looking at permissions, Facebook Browser is only allowed to READ contents of USB storage, whereas Firefox and the actual FB app have permission to read AND modify contents of USB storage.

I suspect that's the ticket.
[Android Apps and Games] krule031:
That is what I've been thinking all the time, that permission for reading storage, when the upload button is pressed, a window should pop up with few ways to upload a photo like camera, gallery etc.

And it works for cixty on 4.4.4 maybe because that AppOps on KitKat, idk about that too much but I heard that something with permissions has changed from Jelly Bean to Kitkat, so, I guess this haves to do something with permissions.

So I looked at permissions, here:

App haves all the permissions needed, is there any other permission needed for uploading photos?

I tested on my xperia ion. But i see the FB app is faster than this browser. Btw, thank you so much ! :D

So guys. I made an webview app just like this using NativeWrap, that it displays m.facebook.com, and I got photo upload is working in it. One more thing, I bet we cant upload pictures because of one missing permission. Look at these screenshots:

First photo is the app I made, it haves a one permission extra, and it says modifying storage(its on croatian), and second ss is the Facebook Browser, which haves just 2 permissions. So I guess thats why photos wont upload.
[Android Apps and Games] jonatutu:

Since when is using the original app that uses tons of permissions a better solution than using an app that simply displays the mobile page. I understand your problem but before complaining about something you should inform yourself. According your logic using Firefox, IE, Chrome or Opera is the same risk.

[MENTION=5285187]cixty[/MENTION] first let me tell you how much I admire your work. I always wanted to get rid of that stupid fb, it's always running, eating resources.

The app is incredibly smart, the ideal solution for the most who use fb just to scroll the news feed, maybe for the others who post all day photos and stuff the official app is better.

I only have a small problem. The app in my phone HTC One shows the photos much bigger than on the phone pf my gf (HTC Sensation). Is it possible to make it look the same? When I open the photos and than get back to newsfeed I get to the beginning. Is it possible to return to the last location?

Since I've been using this for so long, yet haven't seen such suggestion, I'm gonna put in exactly what I've done for notifications. I didn't want to keep the Facebook app, so replaced it with this but wanted to keep my notifications.

So what you can do in this use case is visit https://www.facebook.com/notifications and copy your RSS link. You can then either use it with an RSS app supporting notifications on new content, or like me: Create an IFTTT recipe. I just created a simple IFTTT recipe that reads the feed, and on new content it sends me a Pushbullet notification. Simple as that!

Thought I'd share in case anyone else wanted something similiar.
[Android Apps and Games] selw0nk:
That's too much work. Lol

Uninstalled this app to see if this is the culprit that overrides "do not sync contacts" option in official Facebook app. Every time after I use it for a few minutes, the option gets overridden and my contacts start syncing. I like this app, but if it keeps doing that I have to ditch it.

App is good but sometimes freezes specially when returning from chrome(beta) or other app. due to low RAM usage, after scrolling for a while when fast scrolled to the top the screen remains blank for a few seconds ( as if content is being loaded ).

This behaves and has same issues ( slow loading and occasional stuttering ) as if browsing on a chrome browser on android.

That were the only issues that led me to switch to official app !!

You can consider increasing RAM usage a bit more to provide smoothness.

Will use it as a standalone app for a few days to see development !!

[Android Apps and Games] redultra82:
So far so good,much easier than the app itself. As someone else said no picture upload possible,can this be added?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Update

- Ram

Android handles ram usage itself and it works good as it is. The app uses WebView, which is nothing more like a stripped-down browser. Therefore it uses as much ram like other browser ( Lightning Browser for example).

- Progressbar

I thought about implemeting it but I think it isn't necessary. The app should remain lightweight, without unecessary lines of code.

- Uploading of pictures

I added a permission, which I think, should fix it.

For people that can't access the menu, I enabled the actionbar.

Remember position didn't worked good, so I fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] darkshoujo:
Thanks

it works great! simple and clean but i still cant upload pictures i hope you can implemented soon, thanks for your work
