[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
I will take a look

It's unlikely I can improve image rendering within the webview

Replied on Github. You can keep the conversation there since I am far more responsive on Github than here
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Congratulations for your new career! I am in love with build 2465 and I can live with it without further update. Thanks man!:laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] Furax31:
The application is excellent!

I just have a question: Is it possible to launch a live? I do not find how to do it on Frost. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
Hi,

Question: Every so often, the feed refreshes all on its own and I'm back at the top again, usually right when I'm about to tap on something to check it out. Annoying, as it constantly happening.

Is that Facebook doing that? Or is that some sort of timer programmed into Frost that auto-refreshes it, because if it's Frost, I would love to have an option to disable that!

Thanks

I have been facing slow loading speed than a browser would load normally since I've started using this app. But tried my best to not let it bother me till now. Thought of reporting anyway.

I'm using bromite webview & don't think it's the reason of slow loading.
[Android Apps and Games] Furax31:
Help ?
[Android Apps and Games] Trina9:
I haven't seen any third-party app that can do Facebook Live.
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
If facebook mobile doesn't have it, then we won't be able to support it
[Android Apps and Games] ALYSKY:
Some new update?
[Android Apps and Games] Tuhin Sh:
Thanks a lot for open sourcing this app.
[Android Apps and Games] mR.fR34ky:
HI Guys,

I've had an older version isntalled. Uninstalled it and tried to install the newest version from github which fails. Every version fails to install now. Even the one from F-droid with an uknown error. I've treid rebooting several times.

Do you guys have any ida please?

Thank you very much!

Hi there.

Although I disabled the analytics, I can still see packets sent to "sessions.bugsnag.com".

Is that normal or something is wrong ?
[Android Apps and Games] QuickInfo:
Would love the ability to share images to other apps directly without saving. In Chrome, you can long click to share the image and it doesn't seem like this is possible on Frost
[Android Apps and Games] ShadowLea:
Works great!

Is there any chance of getting Group Admin controls? Right now we don't have options to delete or ban users when deleting their posts, nor does the window with the rules pop up to send to users when their post/comment is deleted. (Moderating several groups with between 9.000 and 20.000 members, that's pretty much all I do on FB all day :P)
[Android Apps and Games] Robbie25:
can yall make gifs work thats the only bad part
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
A question. After I have downloaded a picture in Frost, it allows us to share it with other apps. I selected telegram and accidentally pressed "always" instead of "just once". Now I don't have the option to share with other apps. Is there a way to revert that step? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ram4ufriends:
Go to Settings in your phone, Apps, Telegram, Open by deafult and select clear
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Thanks for the help! It works as a charm.

Facebook is constantly blocking interactions from me when using frost ?
[Android Apps and Games] Cryte-k:
Hi, can you add the option of being anonymous when watching the stories?
[Android Apps and Games] lfom:
My account was blocked today due to suspicious activity. I had to create a new password and check my recent activity. I have been using Frost on at least two Android devices, as well as normal browser on my computer via Firefox.
[Android Apps and Games] whatsisnametake2:
yeah same problem here. account temporarily blocked.
[Android Apps and Games] FloatingPoint:
There are those little tabs which can be swiped horizontally. This collides with swiping right to the messages tab.
[Android Apps and Games] D4ND310:
Yes, I noticed this, too. You can't currently scroll those horizontal areas with the main UI swipe enabled.

*Edit: In fact, as the description tip of the tab-swipe option does actually say, the swipe functionality will be disabled upon long-press of an item to save from unwanted navigation away from the page. So, you can have both functions working simultaneously after all. ?
[Android Apps and Games] Bosstazem:
I'm on S8+ and seems like the themes except for default and glass has a bit strange color layout.
[Android Apps and Games] FloatingPoint:
Actually, if you long-press an item, either it is the same as short-pressing it or a context menu pops up. So you still can't really swipe those mini tabs this way.
[Android Apps and Games] D4ND310:
I can.
[Android Apps and Games] FloatingPoint:
Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Another notice: when in settings, if the phone gets rotated, you are thrown back to the main settings page. Not a big deal, just a bit weird.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
But long press will fail on some areas. In some area long press shows copy text or copy link option.
[Android Apps and Games] D4ND310:
For me, on these mentioned side-scrolling lists on the feed, there is no long-press popup options, it's working as intended, in those specific areas.

I'd only noticed that a regular soft-swipe left/right didn't work there, the tooltip, however, cleared things up. Works well for me on v1.5.9.

I can imagine, though, that long-press on links or text bodies would invoke a popup dialogue but, generally, the FB Mobile site doesn't itself include swipe-to-dismiss or similar features on links so, just don't long press on these, if you'd like to swipe tabs, seems the intended behaviour
[Android Apps and Games] medes22:
Is there a way to tag someone in a comment as you could do in normal Facebook?

Or it is not possible

Normally in normal Facebook I could ve tag someone in a comment using [MENTION=340767]name[/MENTION] or just typing his name
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Check if you can do this on your browser. If it works there, it should work in the app as well. I've noticed that for some people the feature doesn't work on their browser, and in that case there isn't much I can do.

To make everything themable, I wrote my own settings implementation. I could definitely add an option to go back to the page. It just slipped my mind when I first did it.

Can you elaborate this? The default has no color changes whatsoever in the webview. That part is from facebook.

For the rest of you who mentioned the scrolling, that is correct. If that's too annoying, you can disable the scroll between tab pages & the overlay altogether through settings. That way, nothing will conflict with the small carousels and you can use it just like you would on a webview.
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Did you add a new account by any chance? Maybe try logging in again or clearing the cache. I'm not sure why that would occur.

You can long press an image from the newsfeed to get the option to download it
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
If any of you would like to, please test out this build!

https://github.com/AllanWang/Frost-for-Facebook-APK-Builder/releases/tag/v813

It is the initial test for a built in video player.

For now, you can double tap to minimize it, then tap it to maximize again. You can also swipe the minimized video to close it.

In the future, there will be a toolbar with a lot more options to minimize, download, share, etc.

I'd like to make sure that it works on all devices first (especially lollipop). I've only tested on nougat.
[Android Apps and Games] xk0niR:
I just bought pro version and tried to create my own theme.

It seems the background color in the main feed is not changable for comments? It stays white (while choosing AMOLED theme it changes).

Also inside posts there is something white.

(See screenshots it's hard to explain)
[Android Apps and Games] xk0niR:
(Screenshots)
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Hm. Not too sure what is going on because it seems to be working for me. Can you send a screenshot of your theme configuration in settings?
[Android Apps and Games] nreuge:
Working fine !

I'm new to this app. Sems great :)

A more frequent sync option would be welcome, 15mn is too long....

(I can live without push, but 5mn sync would be great)
[Android Apps and Games] xk0niR:
Here my current settings and something different:

Unread notifications are (nearly) unreadable due to white while already read notifications use correct (black) color.
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
I've mentioned this before, but 15 min is the smallest window for which the newer Android systems support doze. Anything less would require a background service that is constantly running independently and managing its own wakelocks. I've made the decision to optimize battery, even if that means no longer allowing for 1 min windows etc. At that point, Frost would be running almost 24/7, which isn't what I want.

So just to confirm, themes like AMOLED do not have white backgrounds? One thing to note is that the accent color should differ from the text color. It's used for backgrounds and foregrounds, and things like the like button once you press it. I will make a note of that in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] chacho_2me:
Superb app sir. But i remembered i read something about long click for full view of image. But for me.nothing hapoens. What is the way to see full view/full screen pics. (If available)
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Long press images through the newsfeed, not after you open them already. If that doesn't work, let me know
[Android Apps and Games] Soooperstar:
Yea I know. I've done it 4 times in the last week. I'm tired of changing passwords, I'll pass
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
For those who are being suspended, do other third party wrappers still work? You can also follow the conversation at https://github.com/AllanWang/Frost-for-Facebook/issues/1504
[Android Apps and Games] Soooperstar:
Yes they do so far
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Which ones? Any of them open source?
[Android Apps and Games] Soooperstar:
As of right now I've been using Maki without issue
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Test build v2509

For those getting logged out, try enabling web only mode in settings > behaviour
[Android Apps and Games] Trina9:
Same thing happened to me. Had to change my password.
[Android Apps and Games] whatsisnametake2:
logout temp suspension happened again today forcing another password change. going to have to stop using frost until this is resolved which is a shame cos it's terrific.
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
The only time it has happened to me is when I tripped the FB filters. In a post I said something like "given that the petition has been shot down in flames....." and FB suspended the post and kicked me off. I got the impression during re-signing on that they thought my account had been hacked.
[Android Apps and Games] Trina9:
Ditto, happened again yesterday to me.
[Android Apps and Games] oVeRdOsE.:
I dont have any issue with loggin nor amoled theme, but since this morning pages loading are uber slowww. Clear data/ reboot/ 2 different wifi / 4G

. Looks like something's running at fb to check if the app is legit.
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Speed problems are likely temporary, and are out of my control.

Is anyone affected with the login issue using it outside of Europe? It seems like all the reports are from there, which may be why it still hasn't happened to me.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
FB forced me to reset my password two days ago. I'm in Australia.

Edit 190812: have now installed test 2509 and will see how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Have not been asked to reset password since enabling this option.:good:
[Android Apps and Games] vinboy3:
I'm in Malaysia have happened to me twice.
[Android Apps and Games] Pilot1000:
I am in the USA, happened to me a couple of days ago (once so far), I never posted on Facebook (in Frost) so it wasn't triggered by posting.
[Android Apps and Games] oVeRdOsE.:
Canada and happened this morning
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
And was it failing for you before? Give it a few days. People are still reporting that that build doesn't work either
[Android Apps and Games] Pilot1000:
Downloaded test build and enabled web only. Will report in a few days.
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Yes, I was asked to change my password 3 times last week.
[Android Apps and Games] Naudiz:
Today I was locked out of my account for the first time. Also in Europe (Germany).

I will try out the test build as soon as I find the time.

But maybe it's also a good idea to get rid of Facebook for good. I'm getting sick of this site for various reasons.
[Android Apps and Games] Aramarth:
With last test build, running from 3 days, everything seems to be ok

Best
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
For those using the latest build, you may try to disable web only mode once again and see you get blocked or not. The two main tests are user agents (permanently modified for build 2512), and web only mode (parsing, services, etc).

If we find that user agents is the problem, then we won't look into web only mode any deeper. If it's web only that's the problem, we may reenable multi user agents and look at which service specifically is at fault.
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
On 2515 and just disabled web only. Will see how it goes :good:

Edit: and just found that the cold restart frost under experimental does nothing...
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Does cold restart not restart the app? I'll take a look when I have time
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Thanks. Meanwhile it only return to the news feed, pretty much acting like pressing the back button.
[Android Apps and Games] Aramarth:
Last test build is a little more fluid imo :)
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
v2.3.2

Not sure if it's a fix yet but it's better than nothing
[Android Apps and Games] oVeRdOsE.:
+1. Got locked with the 2.3.1 test build web. I'm not using FB since then :highfive:, a nice relief.

But, unfortunately, most of my friends announce party/reunion on fb, so if I dont want to miss these, I'll try the 2.3.2 :p
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Same issue on 2.3.2
[Android Apps and Games] Arseon:
My fb got blocked saying suspicious activity after I started using frost. I changed my password, logged into frost again, and the next day, I was again blocked due to the same reason. Post that, I changed my password and started browsing in chrome only. One week done, no issues. Has anyone else experienced this with frost?
[Android Apps and Games] oVeRdOsE.:
Yeah, like all 3 last pages. Op doesn't know the issue. For the moment use chrome or any browser. I use opera desktop view.
[Android Apps and Games] KenjiHannya:
Same here. But if u try again, work.
[Android Apps and Games] lfom:
OP/dev knows the issue and he is investigating/trying to fix the problem, it can be seen clearly in the last few pages of this thread as well.
[Android Apps and Games] oVeRdOsE.:
He knows the issue but not the cause, sorry if it wanst clear. Word sequece is important... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] fitittome:
I've been using 2.3.2 heavily for three or four days now and the problem is fixed.

https://github.com/AllanWang/Frost-for-Facebook/releases
[Android Apps and Games] oVeRdOsE.:
lucky you, after 2 days I got this suspicious activities message again, on 2.3.2 ...
[Android Apps and Games] Naudiz:
Three or four days is hardly enough to state the problem is fixed. I had more than one week between two account-locks on 2.3.1. Today I installed 2.3.2 and immediately enabled Web only mode. Let's wait and see...

Completely unrelated annecdote: Today Facebook also gave me a 3-days ban for a politically incorrect, but pretty much harmless joke which I posted in 2011. I guess it's really about time to finally say goodbye to this ****hole site for good, lol :D
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Just wanna report that since build 2509 (7th Aug) I haven't been asked to reset the password by Facebook. I think the Dev had nailed it. Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] N1vBruno:
Same.

Does someone know if this is happening with all third-party apps or just Frost?
[Android Apps and Games] oVeRdOsE.:
have you an alternative?

You might want to try ''metal'' but last update was on june 2018, the app is outdated, and amoled theme doesn't work.

frost got a better experience overall.

I use metal for the last 3-4 years, will report if I get locked out again.
[Android Apps and Games] N1vBruno:
I have used Metal before. I'm not looking for an alternative, but thanks for testing and reporting if this will happen with another app.

I asked because I want to know if this is an app-related issue or if it is Facebook harassing devs of third-party apps

Facebook is an almost dead platform for me, I think I'm gonna stay without an app for it in my phone until a proper fix is released.
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
[MENTION=5230774]asdfasdfvful[/MENTION] any particular changes you have made from 2530 to 2531? After installing 2531 for a day fb prompted me to change password. Havent happened to me since 7 Aug. Cheers.

P.s. both without "Web only" enabled
[Android Apps and Games] oVeRdOsE.:
5 days on ''metal''. so far so good.
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Nothing significant: https://github.com/AllanWang/Frost-for-Facebook/compare/8872d81..1a0ec6f

Cause was probably something else. Perhaps you don't usually post and then you did so recently?
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
​

True, it must be something else, as I just got forced to change password again today with build 2530.

But I have been quite active on Facebook throughout the year. Not sure what was provoked it again... Meanwhile I will enable Web only.
[Android Apps and Games] stayros32001:
a friend that uses the ver 2.1.2 doesnt have the promblem with password change so far.

i installed the same version today to see if it will work!
[Android Apps and Games] MDV106:
Facebook just blocked my account today. Im using the latest fdroid version 2.3.2
[Android Apps and Games] MDV106:
The worst part us they want an ID document photo before they allow me to get my account back. This sucks
[Android Apps and Games] oVeRdOsE.:
there's really something unique on frost app that makes us kickout. metal is a very similar app in term of functionality, and on my 2nd week report, I'm didn't get locked out yet.

op I believe in you, you can make it, I really like your app more :D
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
For those who are still getting kicked out, follow this github issue for test builds. The newest one disables a few more features. If you are using web only mode from before you don't need to update, but this gives you the option to disable more specific features so you can get notifications back. More info in the linked post
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Thanks for your update! Now trying build 2552. Have been using build 2531 with web only without problem for last few weeks.

Edit: and I just got prompted by facebook to change password again after 14hours usage of build 2552...

Just downloaded 2.3.2 and on web only straight away.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
Hi,

I use the "Share" feature from a news app and it takes me to the Frost Facebook screen where you can write in a comment at the top and it has other options on that screen, but I don't see any way to Tag someone there.

Can anyone please tell me, when you Share, let's say, a news article to Facebook using Frost, how exactly do you "Tag" someone?

Thank You,

Dave

Hi,

Please ignore my previous post.

WARNING! I'M SOCIAL MEDIA STUPID!

TALK TO ME LIKE I'M 6 YEARS OLD! :)

I'm trying to figure out how to "Tag" people in a post (when sharing something to FB) in Frost v2.3.2 (GitHub version). When I share an article, it loads the FB screen where you can add your comment, etc. and I do see the thing to "Tag Friends".

However, when I tap on "Tag Friends", an empty line "box" opens up and in it (until you start typing) it says; "Who are you with?"

Huh? Who I'm with??? What??? :)

And above the "box", it also says;

"You can also tag friends."

Huh? I thought that's what I was already telling it to do.

Can anybody please explain this to me (like I'm 6)?

I would like to someday be able to do more than just "Share, Type Comment, Post". Will somebody please cure my astounding and embarassing Facebook posting ignorance? :)

Thanks! :)

Dave

If I don't type anything into the text box I get a list of my friends.

If I type a name into the text box I get a list of possible people with that name.

Tap on one of the shown people to select them.

Hello,

Sorry for stupid question but are messenger notifications works without any problems? Are they instant or delayed? Is it really battery friendly? I am currently using de-bullshified version of Messenger but I it's full of garbage "features" anyway.

Thank You in advance
[Android Apps and Games] theevildevil:
Question: Can't find it in description but can this also prevent showing that I watched a story? Couple of Instagram mods could do that but I understand that this is a wrapper and not app in itself.
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Part of the problem is with recent updates, where I had to switch everything over to a desktop agent. Facebook disables some features there, including tagging suggestions when you type names. In previous builds, it worked, but there are also phishing warnings now.

They are not instant, and happen at most once every 15 minutes. Notifications are done through polling rather than push.

It cannot, and I don't plan on producing any features like that because they are never stable.
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Test release v2559

If you are coming from before 2.3.2, please log out first, and log back in after installing the update. This one essentially enforces web only mode, but reenables other features that should not be causing phishing problems
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Along with that, I'm also pushing release v2.4.0
[Android Apps and Games] theevildevil:
Totally understand. Thank you for reviewing and providing feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
But of course wishing death on America is fine. :)

There's no app yet, but if you're a Conservative, which I figured from your post that you might be, you can sign up at…..

https://www.codias.com/

It's a Conservative Facebook-like (for lack of a better explanation) Social Media site. And don't worry about not knowing anybody on it. Folks seem to look at member profile and make "Friend" requests whether they know you or not, so just make sure to fill in your profile. I probably have around a hundred "friends" on it from doing nothing, not even posting yet. :)

And unless you constantly post vulgarity, I doubt you'll be censored. :)

I wish the Frost Dev would write an app for that platform! Not many Conservative FB users even know it exists and yet it's still growing wicked fast anyway!
