Think I have to agree with the guys saying adding transitions will make the program slow down. It's not uncommon for this to happen with people using TouchFlo on the Touch Diamond. I think you can expect that same sort of slowdown to apply to many other high-end mobile devices. The functioning of the User Interface must be basic before tackling any enhancements such as adding transitions. I'd rather have a basic application that has many functions than something that is too fancy and does not do a lot.

I have to say that the interface is looking fine for now.

This is great work that cornelha has been doing so far, so keep it up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cornelha:
Most of the lists in the app uses the brilliant klistcontrol with a few modifications. You can fingerscroll through your friendslist.

Touchflo 2D type effects, not gonna happen very soon. Transitions and animations really take a toll on hardware. I will do very simple notification animations for chat and friends updates once I have it all working smoothly. I want a nice stable program before we make it pretty.

To make the application "appear" zippy (once logged in ofcourse) all pages are loaded and the data refreshed if required when you access the page. Navigation at this point is not as intuitive as I want it. Some tabs might be replaced with other eg. the Inbox tab for sending sms's using facebook's new mobile sms api.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jakub_w:
why doesnt the link on the 1st page (3rd post) work anymore? jsut takes me to log in to facebook???

does that mean i already allowed it to access?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jhw549:
It did the same thing to me, from what I can tell once you put in your password you've given the app permission.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 93Akkord:
***waits patiently for the vga version to be released***

***grins***
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
makes sense to me.. i agree completely

i have no idea how the scrolling is thru contacts yet, as none show up for me to test it

thats really my only concern, i could care less about transitions really

lookin good so far tho!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kosmos5457:
Same here but would WVGA Fix Program be a temporary fix so the program will run at the resolution it currently supports? Ok, it would (if it works) leave a black space at the bottom of the screen but we could get by with that for now surely?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WizardN00b:
Unable to connect?!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jhw549:
You need to go to the link in post 3 prior to using the program
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aftashok:
if u need any more beta testers, im definitely interested...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] poorlyduck:
this is absolutly great, Ive been waiting for a decent FB app in while, kidnamedAlbert did a great job graphic wise as well, ill keep checking this thread.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanackin:
this looks really promising!!!!

I will be watching too on this tread :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fungy1129:
wow ..... this looks awesome !!!!!!! can't wait !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wanwarlock:
looks amazing. will test it for sure. keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] viscocesco:
If you need a beta tester I'm here!

Good work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Just like the rest of xda, I'm up for testing :D!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gb_r32:
Isn't there a FB app for the Xperia coming from FB?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
This is for the ones without an xperia.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] -PiLoT-:
whats the chances itll work on the omnia
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hakeemm:
wow! Looking forward for this application :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] r8zer:
FANTASTIC

I would be more than willing to be a tester of this, GREAT WORK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scotchua:
This is very exciting news for us all :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Major A:
Nice news ! Glad to see this good direction for this kind of app !

Would it be easier for everybody, non THC users in general, to see a S2V compatibility instead of HTC Album for freeware quality viewing of downloaded images ?

Good luck for dev and already thanks !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moidiqbal:
can do some of coding

hey can you include me in the development.??

im good in .Net
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jakub_w:
im so glad development has already started!

good luck cornelha and kidnamedalbert, and whoever else decides to help develop this.

as ive already said in the other thread, willing to beta test
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stickman:
Please, don't forget us, winmo smartphone users... we also lack a good facebook app ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tipu2185:
I agree on that smartphones are pretty neglected.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nqnguyen2:
i'm an avid facebook user. i'd like to be a tester.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] methosmacleod:
This is great. Very much looking forward to this! and I like the idea of using HTC album for uploading, i think its a clean interface. Could there be an option to pull profile pics into htc album and then use as a contact? o
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jhw549:
I know you won't see this til the morning, none the less:

All of the tabs still don't function (aside from the one with my info in it), and the app crashed as I was flipping through it:

With that said, thank you for all of your hard work today, cornelha, and I hope you sleep well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rjgraves:
Same thing here. And I also echo your appreciation to cornelha. This is shaping up to be an excellent application, and I am happy to test and retest and retest again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TorbenKB:
I'm really looking forward to this applikation. I've been watching the thread and will test.

:)

Keep up the spirit and good work :):)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shadowline:
I dont know if its just me, but I can't seem to download the newest one. Skyfire says invalid header, opera mobile downloads it as a 32kb file, and IE downloads it but it is an invalid archive. I can download all other files from xda just fine though. can anyone else confim that its just me thats being difficult?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brsev:
I can log in, and the tabs switch really quickly, but the only information I can view is my own profile picture and status message (which I can't seem to change). Friends tab shows a drop-down for All or Online, and home tab displays little tabs at the bottom, but otherwise nothing shows up. But once its working, the graphics and design seem really great ... I can't wait!

Edit: Oh, well this seems to be a known issue. Thanks for all the hard work though, it's looking good.

Edit2: actually I can change my status message, but only kind of, it's kinda glitchy and unpredictable.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] varunb007:
I have the same issue :( Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 93Akkord:
whats the program you are using?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
So far so good, status update works, seem to have lost the close button some times, not consistent so i guess it may be my Trinity.

It seems to stretch my profile picture, which isn't square, whereas online its just cropped top and bottom.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nqnguyen2:
hmmm, no information loads at all. when i attempted to switch to the friends tab it crashed. here's the log at that time.

I can't login for now, whatever I try I still have the "Unable to connect" message. And yes, I tried the link on post #3 : at first time, it told me that this application was unknown and the same page was coming back again and again when I clicked on the "Allow" button. Now when I click on this link (on post #3), I only get a page which requests my password, I type it, validate, and then I'm on the classic FB homepage.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nqnguyen2:
hmmm, what i did was actually pull up that link on post #3 on my ppc and let it sit there with the username and password text boxes and then minimized it (don't put any information in). i opened up the xdappcfb.exe and input the correct username and password. it takes a while to load but when it logs in you'll get the GUI.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kosmos5457:
Did it not ask you to allow the Desktop Application Xda FBPPC?

If not, then login to facebook as you would normally and then open the link in post 3. Copy and paste that link into your other window (the one you used to log into facebook normally) and press enter. Should ask you to allow application. It will say the API is invalid or been disabled. Still click to allow anyway and it should allow you to login.

It might also help to logout of your facebook session on the pc when trying this application. I've seen some conflict where I've logged into the application on my phone and it says facebook chat on the pc is showing me as offline or it will say that the session on the pc has timed out.

Seems to be a few problems that people are having at the moment with the application anyway so not to worry if everyone is having much the same problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shadowline:
I still believe that the file is either corrupt or the files headers are messed up and is causing my browser to not download correctly. It works on the first file in all 3 browsers, i can download and open it, but the second file does not work for me in either case. Can anyone re-zip and repost it for me as i wont be near a pc till tomorrow, only my tilt.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] derekwilkinson:
It is saying the enabler page (from the 3rd post) that "Invalid API Key

The application you are trying to use does not exist or has been disabled."
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Alex2128:
Wait so does VGA work officially, and not stretched out?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kosmos5457:
That's right, it does say that, you are still able to click allow to allow the desktop application though. You can see that it has been added to your applications list if you view applications and select show all applications from drop-down list. The facebook application for your mobile should allow you to log in once you have the allowed Xda FBPPC access to your facebook.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kosmos5457:
It works on my VGA screen but not properly. It is stretched out unfortunately and wondering if using WVGA Fix program would make it look any better. At least then the program should work in its normal resolution.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kosmos5457:
Having tried beta 6, I've not noticed anything different in this release sorry, the error messages seem to be appearing in the log quite rapidly though.

I can still view my status and see my profile picture, see the different tabs, nothing happens in them though, they just appear blank.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bidou:
It did ask me the very first time I clicked on this link, but when I click on the Allow button, the next page told me "Invalid API Key. The application you are trying to use does not exist or has been disabled.", just like derekwilkinson quoted.

Then, when I tried to come back on this page, I was just asked to enter my FB password. Even if I tried to login to regular FB first, then to copy/paste the link, the same "login" page came again, just asking me to enter my FB password.

However, I will try to log out from FB on my desktop computer when I come back home.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
I am right with you there. I also dont see the option to close the app as mentioned on the third post but this might just be because i have a fuze and the screen is stretched out or whatever. I sill can not also see my friends as metioned in the third post. Although i am not complaining cant wait for the app to work flawlessly in the future :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kosmos5457:
As people using the application on a VGA screen, you probably will not see the close button, however, I tapped the stylus right along the top bar where it says facebook and tapping just to the right of the word, it closed the program, so it is there, just we don't see it.

It's like with the tabs, well for me anyway, I can see the tabs and icons are stretched out but due to the program being designed for a lower resolution screen, you can see that the buttons to make each menu appear actually a lot smaller than the image for the icons would appear if that makes sense.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
yeah man same exact problem and findings. But i did notice that u can tap anywhere on the top bar not just next to the facebook symbol and it closes. So anywhere along the top works to close it.

kosmos does the friends tab on ur work? like i know the screen is stretched but can u see any friends in the imaginary tab that we have to click? like i can get on the friends tab but its totally blank. like every other tab except the profile tab where i can see my profile picture.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mbarvian:
thanks for this app man, it looks VERY VERY promising and I know a lot of people have been waiting for something like this :)

I made Beta 0006 into a .cab file, it's attached

keep up the great work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] darkstar286:
the facebook link does not seem to work. It seems that your API key has been disabled or something.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
yes that is normal just click allow . dont worry about the api thing
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kosmos5457:
I can click on all the tabs but apart from the one with my profile picture, they are all blank at the moment. This project looks promising though. I think some good progress has been made so far.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] y_bother:
hey finally beta's are out :D

but unfortinatly the beta 0006 gives me unable to connect :-S
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kevlaws:
Wont let me past this message on facebook

Invalid API Key

The application you are trying to use does not exist or has been disabled.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
You need to click on the link on the third post and give permission to the facebook application.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
just click allow and then u can close it i had the same problem but then when i checked my authorized applications it was there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rjgraves:
When I used your .cab to install the program, everything (so far) works perfectly. It did not work previously. Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Iceman692:
I had a strange friend request to someone i know i did not request after installing this program...possible bug?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajbopp:
Nuts. Still getting the "Failed to load required components error." :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] derekwilkinson:
I'm still getting an "Unable to Connect" error :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itwasntme187:
I have this weird thing on my Kaiser since i installed the app....

When i use the hardware keyboard (landscape) to logon to facebook the cursor shows i am putting in characters but the actual characters cannot be seen until i flip back to portrait... now i know the app isnt developed yet for landscape so im not expecting it to work here...

But the weird part is now if i go to start-> settings-> system-> about and try to change the device name in landscape (using hardware keyboard) it again blanks out the characters so i cannot see what i am typing until i flip back to portrait!

It seems one of the files added with the facebook app have changed some of my system settings.

Anyone else getting this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] StyL3-Ivan:
i tried to click on the link but it direct me to login to facebook without any check box.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
hmm then its already active check by going to settings>application settings> then look for authorized apps and then look for xdappcfb. Just put the mouse over the settings tab dont actually click on settings and ull see the application settings.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Travis997:
Suggestions

hey cornelha I really wanna say thanks for taking this up. and now I was wondering if there are plans to change the appearance of the buttons above the very pretty bottom bar. I think the bottom and top bars really go to waste if the other buttons look like those of Skybook/Snap2Face or any other WM app. and if you or the guy making graphics doesn't want to then I would be more than happy to make the buttons for you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] derekwilkinson:
Is anyone else having an "IndexOutOfRangeException" error?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
hey i would suggest if its not too much trouble for you to go ahead and make the buttons that you are talking about and then send them to Cornelha and if he can use them then he can incorporate them. Just my two cents. I dont know what buttons you are talking about other than the top and bottom buttons.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jhw549:
I do, and I think it's a great idea, I can't speak for Cornelha, but I would personally like to see this happen. I would say make them, assuming it's not too much work to risk going to waste. After making the application functional (a higher priority as we've discussed earlier in the day) see if he would like to implement it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
Any possibilty of showing the bottom bar? I have the Touch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
what buttons are u guys talking about other than the home, chat, inbox. notifications, pokes?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bidou:
I think he's talking about the News, Notifications and Pokes tabs above the bottom bar on the Home screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jakub_w:
yep x2 on this problem
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Travis997:
yea bidou ^ is exactly right. ok I will start making buttons lol but im new to graphics for programs so what format do they need to be?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
yeah i think those are supposed to be prettified lol later on according to the first picture on the first post of this thread that is why i was confused but yeah those need to be made more pretty too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WizardN00b:
Ok, so I have a few problems. (Sorry)

Got it working, and all it would do is show my profile picture. Nothing else would load, and the way it showed my profile picture was distorted.

Second, I don't like that it uses CF3.5. Just a preference.

Third, I would hardly call a lot of the buttons and tabs "finger friendly".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
what device are u using? A wizard? yes most of the tabs are blank and the buttons are not completely functional yet. Those things are still going to be fixed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Travis997:
oh yea I just now looked again and saw the first plan they had come up with and that had good looking buttons. so what do yall think, make em or not?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
if its not too much work go ahead and make them and make a couple samples like antboy did let me find you his post. first post on page 20
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] helpme:
thanks, will try and feedback.

UPDATE 1: unable to connect :<

UPDATE 2: after adding the applicatoin on my fb profile, I am able to use my login. but then the app doesn't look good on the vga screen of my diamond
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Travis997:
id already seen his posts and that gave me the idea but thanks anyways. ok so I guess ill come up with a preview but i won't be in much of a hurry because I have finals this week and they aren't necessary. oh yea and just to check, the final version is going to be a installed program right?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jhw549:
The Subtabs, the tabs for the sections in home (news, notifications, pokes). He's suggesting they be made into stylized tabs to go along with the nice buttons already in place.

Very nice 100th post btw :-P

EDIT: Wow looks like it's been alot longer than I thought since I refreshed... oops...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Travis997:
its cool dude now more people are just gonna see what im wanting to do
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] drawde:
plz push out vga asap :) opens the doors for a lot more beta testers
