sorry that is not possible as I am not the creator of the library. Maybe in the future we can do something like that but right now, i would like a work version for all to use.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] alt236:
Nah, no worries :)

As you said, get it working first and you can improve it later.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] docnas:
well it doesn't actually allow me to login as soon as I enter my details Ipress "login" n a few seconds laer it gives me tht error I attached th exceptions file n hope u can figure it out
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] verticall:
How do I install this? I have ActiveSync with XP and double clicking the exe, it crashes. I'm new and did my research and this is what my buddy told me that traded me the phone. Any help
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] docnas:
you don't install it u just extract the files then copy them over onto ur phone. then just run it from there
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] verticall:
Thanks. I extracted it to the SDcard, and ran it via File Explorer. Is there a way to go about installing it permanently?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
Open up File Explorer go to Storage Card\Programs make a folder click hold choose New Folder name it Facebook, now copy all the files for facebook app in there, now click hold on the .exe and choose copy, navigate to Windows\Start Menu and click hold Paste Shortcut, now you have a shortcut in the Start Menu.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] verticall:
Did this, and ran into an error.

"File or assembly name'FaceBookCSharp_+Mobile,Version=2.6.0.0 Culture=neutral Publickeytoken = nulle or one of its dependencies was not found"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
Sorry it's because File Explorer doesn't allow you to make a shortcut and copys the .exe just tryed with Resco and it works.

Have attached a shortcut extract the .zip take the link ouk of the folder and place in Windows\Start Menu, Delete the old .exe you placed in there.

computerjunkie:

Nice app look forward to future development.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] verticall:
This is very odd. Here is what I did:

I have the files under Storage Card/Programs/wFacebookBeta2

I copied the exe from the above folder into Start Menu -> Programs and when running it, I get the error I posted above.

Guy Above: It says "The file 'wFacebook' cannot be opened. Either its not signed w a trusted certificate or one of its components cant be found"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
You are recieving that error because the .dll file and the .exe file must reside in the same folder. Simplest way to do this is to unzip the attachment on your computer, drag to folder to your location of choice on your device and run.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
I think I have an idea why you are getting this error (it may be an error in the library itself). I have sent you a PM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] verticall:
Yes. They are in the same folder. They are in Storage Card/Programs/wFacebookBeta2.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
Just updated my post with the link for him as didn't realize File Explorer is so lame it can't make a shortcut, so because of that the .exe was copied, my mistake as don't use File Explorer.

Sorry for all the confusion....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Please redownload run the program directly from the the .exe file with the dll in the same location (no shortcut) and see if you still get the error. I and others here dont' seem to have this issue
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] verticall:
Running it directly thru file explorer is no issue, trying to run it via Start -> Programs -> wfacebook is the issue.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
Then just do that as i know the issue but since it works that way just delete the files asociated in the start menu that you pasted there.

Sorry again to creater as should have not tryed to help it's a simple process that has gone tits up...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] verticall:
But why does it happen? Is it a error on the OPs part or? im new to this so curious.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
Don't want to take anymore of his thread up if you had Resco Explorer and had of followed my previous direction with Resco Explorer it would have worked no issue with the op, so lets just leave it @ that before he hates me for helping out :D JK

Sorry once again computerjunkie.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] verticall:
Should I get Resco Explorer? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nuuuuts:
I haven't installed your app yet, but you maybe able to get some ideas from this website. Faceofmobile.com has a facebook app.

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/finally_a_windows_mobile_facebook_app.php

http://faceofmobile.com/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Giannis86:
for those of you that want a shortcut you can do the following

resco explorer: tap and hold on the exe and then send to startmenu as shortcut. This will pin it in the start menu. Furthermore you can more it in the programs folder if you prefer. Navigate to \windows\start menu and move the shortcut to \windows\start menu\programs

now the faster way

Total Commander: select the exe. Click on file and then on the arrows >>>> then click on create shortcut. Then type the directory where you want the shortcut to be placed so \windows\start menu\programs for the program folder or \windows\start menu to make it appear when you click on start
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Sorry didn't see your question before. The answer is a resounding YES! I hope to have this feature working in the next week.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GriFolle:
Sorry if posted before, but I had no time to read all the 3d...

what about the VGA version?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
computerjunkie

how many pixels tall is the navigation bar?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
VGA will be out shortly as soon as I get some graphics. We have some good artists working on them. I estimate a week or so.

(you didn't have time to read the first post?) lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Soul_Est:
You may want to add WQVGA to that list as well not to mention the square screens. Just a thought for the future versions. May the app be stabilized first. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GriFolle:
@computerjunkie:

Many thanks for your quick reply!

I'm sorry but I've not seen that you've changed the first post of the thread...

Anyhow, thanks a lot to you and to all other persons who are working on this project!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WizardN00b:
I'd like to see an fb app without .NET 3.5...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
computerjunkie.. here are some graphics :D

updated them.. so changed image and removed psd

will be sending you the files as requested ;)

looks like this:

(updated)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Giannis86:
just to give people an idea of the vga (&for QVGA) graphics till now..

This is a concept on photoshop..hopefully computerjunkie can implement it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GriFolle:
Great graphic! Really!!!

Just a question, maybe is not better if the top part (the taskbar) can be displayied?

Just to ask.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAoooooooooooooooooo

I'd like it!

Right now !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] leturc:
woawwww your work is very wonderful dude...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bishop75:
Indeed it is !!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MaximilianPs:
yep.. it's doinable

but please use picture @72dpi ^^

p.s.

actually i'm using opera @ http://iphone.facebook.com

just double tap on a whitespace when the first page is loaded to fit it on the screen ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
I will have a VGA version out by the end of this week with additonal improvements and (hopefully) features. Stay tuned!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
Yes yes yes !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tenny:
awesome can't wait to give it a try!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
c'mon! I can't wait for this app
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] norkoastal:
Woo-hoo!! Ready to test away once posted....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] UnknownDev:
Ok Finally i am done! with the login screen and profile!

Ok... I'll send you over the sliding "Tf3d navigation menu" it is in C++

Hope you like it!

Please tell me what should be edited and changed... cheers!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] magicman0:
THAT IS AMAZING!!! just if you could, have like a remember me box in the login screen because its a pain retyping, but other than that UnknownDev's format is the best i've seen so far.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Already requested AND already implemented brotha....By sunday I'll have a better looking wFacebook for you guys (QVGA and VGA) with some new features.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jug6ernaut:
can i say amazing? can i? well i am....thats amazing..cant wait for the vga version :D.

Question, will you ever release the source for this? I have very little programming knowlage..(3-4c++ classes) but i would love to see how you did this. If not i understand :).

Thanks for your amazing work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] UnknownDev:
i sent you the sourcode files computerjunkie... it is in your hands now! ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] docnas:
im hoping somehow the next version will work on my phone ( if u don't remember im the guy who couldn't even get it to log in n kept getting tht error message )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Giannis86:
here is an updated version of my concept graphics.. :D

still working on the rest
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
Oh my god!!!

SO, which graphics will you adopt i your wfacebook app?

Giannis86 or UnknownDev ? Two are so nice !

I think it's not necessary to have the name under the icons because everyone know the signification of these icons. (and for the other language it's better to not have the name under the icon).

One question: is there a language file (lang.ini) custumisable?

Sorry for my bad english.

Bye. Thinks for yours answers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Giannis86:
the name is under the icons because you change it with the arrows...here is what i mean (basic-->contact etc...)

unless you are talking about the text above the icons as indicated with the arrow
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
no sorry for my english but i would like to say "the name under the icon" like :

Home Profile Friend chat Inbox and Exit".

Sorry

What do you think?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Giannis86:
the reason why i added it was because i thought it blended in nicely with the rest and it makes it easier to identify in which tab you are. but you do have a point. i will try to make some drafts and see how it looks with and without
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
ok you are so brillant! lol

It's sure , you are the designer of this app? Do you think there is a lang.ini??

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Giannis86:
no its not sure..im just doing this for fun so it doesnt matter

i dont know, i guess the OP can answer that for you..

as far as i saw in the beta there wasnt one but as development continues he adds more features so...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] StyxOuZ:
I love navigation icon like TF3D from Giannis

General windows aspect is more "clean" from UknowDev imo.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
Everybody is awaiting this apps !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] diar:
facebook doesn't appear too pressed to make an app for windows mobile, but what is the likelihood that it would partner with XDA, or the developers here, to create an app? they could provide technical guidance (with the provision that they get to distribute and take some credit for the final app) and the XDA folks would do most the work (and, hopefully, be paid). all the developers here should form a Facebook Development Team and approach facebook officially.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
As far as I know, facebook currently does not support other languages. wFacebook, however CAN include a configuration file. This will only change the language of wFacebook controls (icons, buttons, etc.). I won't worry about this feature until this app is fully functioning though.

For now, I am mixing and matching graphics. All the designers have my gratitude for their efforts.

A few more days...I'll have a new version out for you guys by the end of the week (QVGA, VGA, (and maybe) WVGA).

Facebook has provided developers with an API. It's up to developers to create the application how they want. I started this for a few reasons: 1. I love facebook lol. 2. More practice for me as a developer. 3. I was inspired by all the development efforts on this forum and wanted to do my part.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
Thanks dude for this answer very very clear !

I can't wait !

WOOOO HOUUUUUUUU
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cavalloz:
cant wait, looks amazing
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajskhan:
Also waiting- looks like a promising FACEBOOK APP!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
k.. here are new graphics

seems you all like the more facebook-style icons.. so heres my go at them

all images are mine.. based off facebook desktop

was going for a clean-styled skin

@computerjunkie.. sending you the files now as requested ;)

the preview is just everything on one page to be smaller file.. the login wont have a bottom bar most likely

and if anyone wants black.. ill send this to him too

i didnt add the face in the titlebar cuz it creeps me out ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
We want this apps now dude !!!!!!!!!!

Lol

we cant wait more
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bartsimpson69:
Graphic help if you want

Hi dude, I'm not bad at all regarding graphics... So if I can help, I can make pretty good Web2.0 look like things. Just have a look at my website to see what I can do : http://www.blog-mobile.com

PM me and just tell me what you need ! Your app will be the nicest one :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Thanks for your offer. For now, I am set with graphics. If anything comes up though, I will keep you in mind.

Everyone else....please be patient. I really love your enthusiasm (I really appreciate it) but lets not clog up the thread please....You guys will have something to play with by first thing Monday morning. I will post something tomorrow night. Stay tuned.....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trinode:
Hi, simple request that will help people not get banned from facebook :)

When you exit can you (have the option) for it stay running in the background, and when run again it just shows the window again, without relogging in etc....

I ran snap2face a few times quickly and got banned by facebook for abusing the service (I requested all friends details and such several times too quickly for FB's liking)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
When ????

Congrats!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
D- ???

H- ???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Beta 3 posted. VGA version included. I'll update the changelist (only minor changes for this release) tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] norkoastal:
Good Looking out CJ.. Will report back any issues...

The initial log in button looks QVGA stretched...

On subsequent logins, the password is not masked

The default (home) page after login is all white except the bottom icon bar

Selecting home doesnt trigger any change.

Selecting profile wakes up the white screen with my last wall post three icons below, and a white box to input.

Input box in profile does not respond to phone keyboard, only hardware keyboard.

No submit button found on screen only F icon which updated wall..

After wall changes the old (pre app change) wall text remains on the screen. *edit* confirmed wall update worked.

Friends tab works.

Chat tab works, but once the on screen keyboard is minimized, you cant pull it back up..

Inbox tab doesnt trigger any screen changes

Exit tab doesnt trigger any changes.

Program locks after selecting exit/home/exit..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mssmison:
crashed for me on login. an index out of range exception
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JNGold:
Found much of the same as above plus (on VGA version):

1. App very slow to log-in.

2. VGA labels (Text) for action icons to small to even read.

3. Scrolling refresh to read Inbox messages is really slow.

4. Pushing Picture button does nothing

5. Profile pic not shown on home profile page.

6. Big 3 icons on home page need some kind of visual confirmation that the button is pushed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scotchua:
Just loaded this, works great and looks great too. Look forward to seeing the improvements. Great start on this though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MauiKeitai:
Hmmm mine takes about 30 seconds to log in. Its funny cause I never had to "clear" the app with the facbook site like other apps. Maybe that makes the login slow? Looks really good though. I can't wait till its fully finctional!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
Login is no quicker or slower than previous versions.

Where's the close button gone? Had to go to running programs to kill it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] _4saken_:
sorry, but this app has a long way to go... latest beta on vga looks horrible, loading times are way to long (over wifi) and half of the buttons dont do anything.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Thank you everyone for your quick reviews. Let me make a few things clear about the login times:

This cannot be controlled by me. The facebook csharp library that I am using to write this application takes a bit to log in. It has nothing to do with your connection of this application. I am working with the creators of this library to see if we can minimize this time.

Regarding the Home Screen:

QVGA: I did not get a chance to make a home screen so I just put an Exit Button on the home screen since the application is now full screen and you need a way to exit.

VGA: Home screen is blank because there is nothing on it. I am still working on notifications and other stuff which will be on the home screen.

Please note: All the Bottom Bar buttons work (you see visual confirmation that the button is pressed) but ONLY the Profile and Friends List button actually have functionality.

Responses:

I noticed this too on my unit tests. This is because when you first log in, I need the textbox to be unmasked so the textbox can display "Password" instead of "********". I will find a work around.

I don't know what you mean by my "Wall Post three icons below." Please elaborate.

I will perform some tests and post fixes ASAP.

I don't have a VGA device so I was unable to test for this. Could you be more specific as to what Bottom Bar Button you pressed and what labels you are talking about?

I don't know what you are talking about because the inbox button does nothing at this point. You will see a white screen because I have not implemented this. Are you talking about the wall?

Profile information is cached and is retrieved as available. This helps to minimize the time to load the profile. I will change this in the next version and see what happens.

I am working with the great graphic designers that have offered to help me on this. For this build, I did not have a "pressed" version for these icons.

PLEASE NOTE:

I do not have a VGA Device to check VGA layouts. Also, I realize you guys were expecting Beta 3 to be a big release but I did not have the time to make a lot of additions. Only the functionality to remember user details was added and graphics. There is no ADDITIONAL functionality added to this release. All bottom bar buttons work but ONLY the Profile and Friends List tabs have any functionality.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
This is a given. There is no need to reiterate this. I never said this will be the "be all end all" solution to facebook on Windows Mobile. This thread is only a 10 days old and this is my first windows mobile application. Please be patient. This thread is not my only job and I am working as fast as I can to contribute something to this community.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JNGold:
Thanks for the response. I will try to clarify for the points I posted:

On the VGA version there are icon buttons on the bottom of the screen. Each button has a text label beneath the picture of the function that it represents. The text of the label is barely legible (so small).

Yes I am referring to the wall. If you flick-scroll quickly the refresh rate is very slow. Try it and you will see what I mean.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Giannis86:
i wil work on the bottom bar icons..

the text size and the transparency problem.

anyway its working good for the moment but it needs improvement :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
thank you for clarifying. I am aware of this issue. I am working on controls that eliminate this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Thanks. I used your icons for the VGA version. There is no need for transparency. windows mobile in .net has a hard time with tranparency so for now, could you make them normal icons. No need for transparency or alpha blending. thanks again for all your help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Giannis86:
thats what i meant.the original icons were transparent. i will revise them to be part of the background so that they show up properly..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Sorry about this. I put an Exit button on the home screen (QVGA) but forgot to add the line of code that shows the home screen. I am updating the first post with the fix. to exit wFacebook in the QVGA version, go to the home screen and you will see an exit button. Thank for bringing this to my attention.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] focusedonsound:
Same problem here. If necessary I can post exceptions.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cavalloz:
same here, hope you can fix
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Yes please post, I had 2 other people getting this but I have never gotten this exception (and others here seem to be able to log in just fine).

Also, any non-specific information you can provide about your username and password may come in handy. I will check with the creators of the facebook library to see if they can help pinpoint the problem.
