Yes but Fast is a small app that does everything. Low permissions and full of features.
[Android Apps and Games] mrbubba999:
And looks ugly :) in my opinion of course ;)
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Install the current version and click the FB tab. It is pure FB but with a menu bar.
[Android Apps and Games] Pepsy89:
Love it ,today i just unninstaled the facebook app becouse the battery drain was huge , i nave onw question , is there any way to change the icon ? Im on cm12s oneplus
[Android Apps and Games] :
Nope

Didn't know that I deleted my account. Does that mean I am a ghost? #spooky

BTW some people think it is funny to upload my app on aptoide. Maybe you guys should ask me before...
[Android Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Is this app still in development?

I read in this thread dev had stopped.

If not, my apologies.

Seems a lot of accusations are being posted in here.

Thank you for this amazing app but I have question can you add Copy statues ?!...

New App

Guys, the official Facebook Team has released a lite version of facebook app on play store, it has all the things we need and size is around 430kB.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Facebook Lite requests way more permissions than Facebook Browser ;) And Facebook Lite has been released quite some time ago, so no real news here.
[Android Apps and Games] kaiodduarte:
This app still in WIP?

Better than all FB official apps lol
[Android Apps and Games] krule031:
I think it isnt.

The developer had work to do in his private life so no more developing I think.

He will maybe be back, who knows. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] BeardedAttitude:
This is absolutely beautiful! The only thing I wish you could do is upload Pics.. I'm running Kitkat on my s4 and when I hit the upload photos it brings me to the upload page. So I press where I can select what I want to upload but nothing pops up for me to.. If that was fixed somehow then this would be my goto Facebook app.

replacing current Facebook app with this. Nice work, hope you keep this going! well done.

Thank you, finally a good replacement app ! :D

Thank you guys :D

First I made this app for my own purpose and to understand programming on Android better, but then I thought about sharing it. I'm glad you like it.

what is the different between Facebook Browser and Tinfoil for Facebook?
[Android Apps and Games] astonmartin214:
well find out for yourself use both & see what's different
[Android Apps and Games] astonmartin214:
looked at both app this & TInfoil only thing different one doesn't have the true facebook feel to it
[Android Apps and Games] Kutukcu:
facebook app and messenger app is consumes very high battery, so i didn't use both of them, I was using browser version.

It is real medicine of my problem. thanks bro.
[Android Apps and Games] selw0nk:
I love this! Thanks for creating this app.
[Android Apps and Games] digitalhigh:
Hey...this is pretty cool!

If I could offer my bluntly honest opinion, both for the Dev's benefit and for those finding this from the news post:

1. Menu animations and section transitions are a lot choppier than the default app - most likely due to it being a webkit based app?

2. It's missing messaging. As-is, I probably wouldn't use it over the default app...but make it do messaging like days of yore, and you got yerself a lifetime adopter.

3. The status bar seems like it should just stay at the top, but when you scroll, it goes down.

4. I'm expecting there to be a hamburger menu when I swipe right from the left of the screen, and maybe for it to switch sections when swiping left/right?

5. Navigation is a bit tough...I'm used to the back softkey taking me to the previous section. But, say if you open notifictions, the notification window takes up most of the screen, so there's nowhere to tap to drop back to the main screen, and back takes you to the previous page.

And that's about all I've got. I'm not trying to be mean - it is a very cool idea and incredibly lightweight app. But to be considered a full replacement for the FB app, at least in my book, I'd want something a bit more fluid.

But, considering it's been around for a few days...still...great job dev! I look forward to seeing what future updates could bring. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Marty_Since87:
Thanks for this.
[Android Apps and Games] eywan:
An exit menu would be great
[Android Apps and Games] aaron.thomas.webster:
Great App.... Love that the the minimal permissions... thanks for that
[Android Apps and Games] AshuGite:
my little request is this app can be made to reduce mobile data usage... i mean that a faster mode with low quality images or something... it's best fb experience i had..
[Android Apps and Games] gamer.11:
Ah you beat me to it! Even i made my own webview based FB app. But its just a Webview nothing else no scroll buttons or anything! Anyways good one mate!
[Android Apps and Games] 1ad_m12:
great idea! Posting pictures does not work though! Sorry
[Android Apps and Games] undaclazz:
I can not even open the app... force close on Galaxy S Advance stock ROM 4.1.2 with v1.4b
[Android Apps and Games] goofwear:
Just tried this for 10 seconds and I already love it. I'm on a custom ROM with xprivacy and titanium backup and freeze the official Facebook app. Keep up the great work. If and when possible the option to share to your Facebook app would be awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] ghosty7:
Sill cannot upload pictures. Which makes it hard to use...otherwise great idea please fix thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Sooryalal:
Thank You!!:good::D
[Android Apps and Games] mundus:
Thanks

Thanks dude !

Very helpfull for people like me who wanted to get rid of this app.

By the way, did you try Crosswalk ?

Some people say performances are a bit better for this kind of project.
[Android Apps and Games] najodleglejszy:
what is the difference between this app and Tinfoil? does it sandbox FB cookies as Tinfoil does?
[Android Apps and Games] j1gga84:
The "some pictures not loading" problem is also present in Tinfoil (everything else is working great, also messenger function) but not in official FB app...

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
main difference seems to be that lack of a menu like Tinfoil
[Android Apps and Games] tunichi01:

Could someone post screenshots of the app? Thanks in advance! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bluheart:
Nice work! I liked it.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] krule031:
The FC is present on Jelly Bean, on 1.4 app version, so until dev makes a fix, use 1.3 version of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] retiredtrebor:
This may well be a godsend app. I have long disliked the "official" Facebook app, every time it is updated the app gets worse. My biggest complaint is the inability to set a default "homepage". By that I mean that I would like for the app to initially open on a specific group of which I am a member. I don't want find friends as the default, most of the time they are people I have never heard of, and don't want to hear from. Yes, I am somewhat antisocial. But it is really more of a control thing, let me decide what I see, don't force stuff down my throat.

Thanks for the app, like it so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Yarner42:
Great idea! Is there a possibility of system notifications?

Hi!

Thanks for your work, this is a neat idea! :good:

Do you think you could make the app give notifications to the android notification tray? (facebook sends the number of notifications to the tab on destop - maybe you could hijack that to send to the notif. bar...)
[Android Apps and Games] N3tMast3r:
What about data consumption? Is it the same as the app?
[Android Apps and Games] dekker86:
Wuah in the play store is a second APP which is called facebook Browser.

I didnt read the spoiler information and installed the china version.

Now i have changed and its working.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello peeps.

I've got some news. First, thank you all! :D

I'm a bit busy because like you guys I have work to do. Main goal for the next time is to fix experience breaking things. After that I'm going to add some more features.

- set default page

- maybe gestures

- activate/deactivate actionbar

- better privacy

- swipe to get to messages

- share button in settings so you can get your friends rid of the original app

Keep in mind that some things can't be fixed. I can't change the look of Facebook itself because my app is displaying the mobile page. My app isn't perfect but a step forward when it comes to the original FB app - yuck!

Have a nice day!
[Android Apps and Games] krule031:
Bugs

So, you need to fix:

- force close on Jelly Bean

- pictures that dont load

- force close when playing video, thats problem in 1.3, idk if its fixed in 1.4 because i get FC

- photos cant be sent in inbox

Thats all of bugs I think.
[Android Apps and Games] TheKerevas:
The application does not open and crashes on startup. I have Android 4.1.1 :/
[Android Apps and Games] Log1c.:
nice app, I like it.

just two things I noticed:

App is unresponsive/ a bit laggy, meaning it takes a short time to react to clicks (is this because it "just" displays the mobile page(reloading?)?)

Can't add pictures from phone/camera in comments/messages.
[Android Apps and Games] hwhitewolf:
Hi, I would like to give an idea. It would be nice if we could change the feed to the latest.

Excellent app, though!

Already uninstalled the facebook app.
[Android Apps and Games] giajp:
It doesn't work with ART?
[Android Apps and Games] krule031:
Guys, as for force close on start, it is a Jelly Bean problem, on KitKat app works just fine, as for photo uploading, thats on the list for fixing as dev mentioned few posts before.
[Android Apps and Games] Nikooe01:
Since I have a low-end device I'm going to try this! Thank you :)

I'm using the 1.3 version :laugh:

Just as me bro, the official fb apps are so ram hungry, but this app does the same just better and faster:)
[Android Apps and Games] Sonichead:
Notification

Very good app ...

I would like having notifications.. Is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] j1gga84:
Really? Does it have 1:1 the same functionality? I don't think so ;)

[Android Apps and Games] krule031:
I dont think so, that could be difficult to make.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

Well its not the same thing, but it is ok for me, there are no notifications and stuff, but for browsing feed and checking messages its working perfectly.
[Android Apps and Games] nichigo13:
unfortunately , facebook has stopped .. not working on ma tablet
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
Sure it does whatever touch.facebook.com can pull off but it's nowhere near on par with the actual app in functionality or smoothness.. But I can understand why some people wouldnt want that massive junk on their phone these days, especially if its a bit of an old phone.
[Android Apps and Games] krule031:
I suppose you are on Jelly Bean? If yes, install the 1.3 version.

I mentioned the FC few posts before, read before posting.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

If I had like Nexus 5 or Galaxy S5, I wouldnt mind about ram that Fb app uses, but I have this Huawei with 512mb ram, so every mb is meaning alot to me xD
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
There always Greenify to control the 'running in background' thing :)
[Android Apps and Games] krule031:
I use it for a long time bro, but Huawei did something bad with kernel so there are only 393mb of ram for apps, because leftover goes to gpu. This phone is pretty fcked up, but for me its nice.
[Android Apps and Games] Sonichead:
I don't know the complexity to retrieve notification on this app, but if this feature will be implemented, from my point of view, this app could completely replace the official facebook app.

I mean, I don't need a precise notification like "XX comment your post" or "EE likes your photo", but a simple "FB has a notification for you" will be enough..
[Android Apps and Games] j1gga84:
Although I also use greenify with donation package FB app starts whenever it can.

If you open instagram for example, also FB opens in background. Of course, greenify will kill FB after some minutes but during this time it is consuming battery and here I can understand the users that search for an alternative. I also do not need notifications, I used Tinfoil but there not all pictures load. If this could be fixed Facebook Browser will also replace the original app because it is over 150MB big now and that shows me, that this app is badly programmed, just my 2 cents.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
I dont wanna spam this thread with greenify related things but for the record, you can use greenify to "cut" those wakeup patterns. Essentially making it so Facebook never gets started by any other apps
[Android Apps and Games] krule031:
Exactly, fcking Facebook autostarts all the time, and that size of the app, you just said everything I hated about the official app.

[Android Apps and Games] krazyace35:
I don't get why people are requesting a feature that is already there (most recent) all you have to do is tap on sort in top right hand corner and choose most recent also requesting features that the Facebook app has will add back permissions that everyone complains about makes no sense to have this app if you make it like the Facebook app this is a far better app for Facebook than any other app out there great job on this when all the bugs are worked out it will be awesome

[Android Apps and Games] fcaronte:

[Android Apps and Games] twoxa:
amazing!

this little app works faster than original!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] AdriVelazquez:
Don't know if this was mentioned, but you can still get notifications by using IFTTand linking it to your facebook RSS.

Or if you wanted to take the app to the next level, integrate that option for RSS reader sending a push notification.

Not sure if it already has it, as I'm using Tin Foil, but I'll def give this a try

Hi cityx, it'd be great to have the images rendered on bigger size than actual, they look very little as opposite to the app.

I would like work on the app now but looks like I have to wait till weekend :banghead:

Btw apparently someone started to make an app like this after he saw mine. Not going to harass him but it seems kinda like.... 'cheap'. I think people should make something on their own intentions/ideas. It may be something complicated but I thought about letting you guys know about it :rolleyes:

I think after I fixed some stuff I'll make a version with features as it got now and another one with some features more like push notifications, custom url.....

I would like to know if you guys would donate to me. Not for the app itself but the time I invest. Its not like I want money ;). Just want to know btw.

Keep browsing :thumbup:

I have downloaded several Facebook replacement apps for my wife so she was very sceptical when I told her about this one. She has been using it from release now.

My marriage depends on it!

[Android Apps and Games] cyclonmaster:
