Thanks for the hard work.

Thanks!

sense slider for multiple screens - I've thought about this. Would this be good instead of the homescreen? Or do it in conjunction with? I just don't know what the best option would be

CHT style comment peeking...possible? select post->drag button expands>drag down to view comments>tap again to comment or like - Yeah, that's tough! But that would be way cool!

Probably difficult to implement these things... sorry if these ideas are out there...

Nothing is too difficult! :) Thank you for the suggestions. What do people think will be the best implementation of the homescreen?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ZetaiZetsubou:
home

i have a pretty crazy (probably impossible to implement :P) for the homescreen...

ill pm you...

the sliders would work in conjucyion with the homescreen to get more are to put stuff, similar to Apple sb I guess, another possibility might be to ditch the icons and just have a sense spider for all pages... like HTC sense Facebook on top of HTC sense :P

Push Notifications

Do you think that push notifications would be possible? So that as soon as a message or post is available, you are alerted on your device.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
sweet :) ill look for your pm :)

thank-you! i can't wait either :) its a fun project, but it takes up a lot of time. i hope to make more applications with this UI core so it will be worth the initial effort :)

hmmmm, ive read that there is a push type notification system with Facebook. if not, i plan on having a pulling system to get notifications. bit that will be a more advanced feature for later.

thank-you for all your comments!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mrvearn:
Working with my device - Omnia i900. good job mate! login not taking 100yrs - within 1 minutes ++..voila! home screen...can check profile etc etc... hopefully full version can see notification as well.

Sorry for my English. :o
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
No problem :) Your english is great!

Yes, notifications are a MUST. I'm toying with a pull-down/up menu like Android, or a small link at the bottom that can be minimized easily... we'll just need to see!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xkill3rprox:
Sweet, high hopes for this development (: It's so smooth.

Just wondering, i've seen pink squares and blue squares, is that alright in this beta or it's my problem?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
yes, pink and gren and blue squares are just placeholders for actual images. 9 times out of 10, you can click on them and they'll do something :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xkill3rprox:
I guess it doens't work for the Omnia II? I've tested it yesterday, it works for the first time, right after that, it crashes always.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
can you post the error and how it occurs?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] vidavi:
It happens to me also, thats the error,

i have to mention i have about 65MB free ram, when it occurs

I'm sorry, but i'm using mobile to surf the net most of the time and i have problems copying and pasting the code. It could be due to the fact i'm running on a lite ROM, as it running a lite ROM has made some games unworkable for me. It would be better if there is a Omnia II user who could answer this question as i would not like to affect you in developing if this is a minor problem. I'll try to flash a official ROM and tell you about it. Cheers(:

I've typed out the error code for you guys (:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sinoo:
Is it necessary to authorize the app again and again, if it was updated?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Neville.Holland:
Messages.EN.wm.cab

Hi Guys,

I've installed to the Storage Card, and get error relating to the Messages.EN.wm.cab not being available and need to install it.

I get past the logging screen to the accept screen. shortly after pressing the accept key it crashes out, stating an error with the above (sorry should have screen dumped)

I pre-authorised before trying to log in.

Any pointers?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mr. Equalizer:
I´ve got the Sameproblem with Beta 2.5 and 2.6 on a Touch Pro2.

Is there a fix available?

Greetz
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xecutionkrk:
keep it up
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xkill3rprox:
Since I'm not the only one with the above error, i supposed the beta doesn't support our devices yet. So we'll have to wait for the next beta. I'm sure it will be fixed soon (:

@Neville.Holland

I have that error before, then i searched the web for it. Installed it and got the error as I have typed it out. Maybe you should try installing it. Might work for you?

But it didn't worked for mine.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Neville.Holland:
Do you still have the link? I've tried searching for the netcf xxx message cab without any luck. willing to give it a go
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mr. Equalizer:
The "netcf xxx message cab" is unneccessary.

Its only needed to show the correct error message, it won´t help to get the app running.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] the sandman89:
I installed version 2.6 cuz i assume thats the latest version, and when i launch it i sign in and approve the authorization through facebook. And then i get an error message saying that i dont have NETCF35 installed when i do. any help would be appreciated. thanks

btw, i have an Omnia 2 i920 for Verizon
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hmmmm... How far into the app do you get? It seems to error out after you press the "Login" button correct? I have someone looking into a possible fix for this issue, but just in case he doesn't come up with anything I will try and find a work-around for it.

The netcf xxx message cab allows users to view the full stacktrace (the full error message). To install it, download the Windows Mobile SDK. The cab is in there.

Here is an article explaining how to do everything

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/martijnh/ar...essages-on-the-net-compact-framework-3-5.aspx

Yes, this is correct. It will only give the correct message and not fix the problem.

hmmmmm.... Your phone should have WinMo 6.5 pro so you do have .netCF 3.5. Check to make sure that the message doesn't say ‘NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab’ instead. If it does, you have the same problem, which I am looking for a fix as we speak :) The only problem is, is that the Emulators and my phone don't get the error, so I just have to "Guess" what's wrong and try and fix it.

if ANYONE that is receiving this error has Visual Studio 2008 w/ the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK and 6.0 SDKs installed (and about 20 mins of free time) and would like to help me find the bug, PLEASE PM me and we can talk!

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xkill3rprox:
@joe_coolish you're absolutely correct. But i was able to run it successfully with it, that's why i was able to ask about the pink squares. But after i close the application, i'm unable to run it again. I might be flashing my phone into another ROM, might be trying it again.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nick-ao:
on HD2 I have error when I make a login

the error want the netcf xxx message cab
[Windows Mobile Software Development] swax:
Hi. I've been trying beta 2.6. So far so good;) onde again, congratulations. Just some questions. When will it have "refresh"? will it be automatic? notifications.. will it be able to update status.. etc? and most important.. when will it be able for us to try?

Once again thank you for this great development and for your effort doing all this:)

Same error for me on my HTC hd2
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Update!

Ok, I got good news and bad news

For everyone that is getting the same error as post #309, I have found what the error is! Yay!

Now for the bad new. It seems that the hack I was using to authenticate the app with Facebook has been found out... and subsequently fixed. I was handling all of the http I/O for the authentication piece, and now they are hiding behind layers of javascript so that (unless you build a js interperater) you have to use a webbrowser.

What this means is, to run the FB app, you will need to authenticate from a browser. I'm working on a solution, but what might end up happening is that XDAFB will launch your default webbrowser and you will do all of the authentication via Opera/Skyfire/IE (does anyone even use iE?) and then you will have to close the browser and re enter XDAFB.... Lame, I know. But the WebBrowserControl that comes with .net3.5CF isn't compatible with all this fancy "HTML" stuff. With it's colors and pictures and all. So, I don't think I will be able to the full authentication piece in-app....

BUT!!! There is more good news! In the current dev build, I have refresh working! Plus the caching has been improved, increased speed, better finger handling, some more UI is done, and other things! (like AppToDate support. Playing with it, we'll see what happens with it)

Hopefully 2.6/7 will be out today or tomorrow with these updates. It all depends on authenication.

THE FOLLOWING WORK AROUND MAY NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE!

WORK AROUND TO ERROR FROM POST #309

This error happens in the Application Activation portion of the authentication process. If the app is already activated on facebook, this step is skipped. There is a link on the second post that looks like this: Go here to authorize directly

Click on this (or that) link and authenticate the app on your PC!

Let me know if this workaround work!

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Ok, new update. I have fixed the problem, and let me tell you...it's not pretty. Really, it's not. In fact, it makes me sad just thinking about it :(

Once i get all of the AppToDate stuff loaded, I'll publish beta 2.7.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Arto:
good work! Im very happy to see the results!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mr. Equalizer:
tried the "fix" for the error from post #309, but it allways wants to authorize if i login in with your app, so i cant pass the login screen..

whats happen here? i´ve authorized with the link you showed in second post.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nick-ao:
me too!

I have authorized with the link on the post and after I tried the login but I have error
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yes, the "fix" only works in a few cases. Actually, very few cases. The real fix is in the dev build which should be released today.

Just to note, this was a change on how FB does authorization! It was their change that broke us, but the fix should be more future proof. I guess facebook does this a lot so it looks like this will be a big battle.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Beta 2.7 is GO!!

Let me know if it fixes the log in issues!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] gwalkercz:
Tested Beta 2.7 on Omnia, works good but when i'd like to login and autorize app on fb, ie appears and an error occured "bad page" (a have opera as deafault browser but ie appears) i really like to use your app but adding a comment and posting a status missing :-) sry for bad english, and good luck
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
hmmm, bad page error? i wonder if it is an ie error or what?

as for ie, yes, the authorization will always open in ie. that is because ie is on every phone and has an environmemt variable that i can hook onto. ill look into using the default browser.

as for posting, its on the list. probably the next thing ill focus on

thank you for the feed back!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] swax:
been trying beta 2.7.. once again so far so good.. i dont have the "authorization" issue.. everything works fine with me:)

beta2.7 is faster, is refreshing everytime.. well.. development is excellent cant wait for more releases.. if i could help in something just let me know!!!

fantastic work.. if i could update my status.. post comments.. i think i just would use your program.. is sooo much faster and smoother..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] vidavi:
No authorisation issue here also, everything smooth and fast so far in my Omnia2 JD3 original rom. Keep it up, waiting for next release with more goodies...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] namwollem:
All good here!

Not that I wish to clog up the pages of this forum with agreements to previous posts!!

But XDA Facebook Beta 2.7 works fine on my HD2, very fast, smooth and looking better with each update! The scrolling is smooth, and I had no issues whatsoever, and it works fine for me!

Keep up the great work!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nixeus:
Hello my friend,

It's a very good idea to create a facebook aps, because the microsoft apps is not good !

I have tested rapidly your apps, i just found the graphical UI is not very nice for the moment, maybe you need to get a designers in order to work with you.

Thanks a lot my friends,

Regards,

Nixeus
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you for the comments!

@Nixeus

lol, you are spot on :) I am no graphic designer nor am I a good UI designer (but that is not to say I'm not a good artist. I actually started life off as a tradition artist, then movied to 3D animation, and only then did I realize that artists dont make any money, so I switched to Software Eng.) I am pretty good with data and fairly good with coding. My skills are set with planning, managing, and executing program creation. As much as I would love to get into graphics, I have no time to do so.

We have a few graphics designers on the team. The principle designer is Sopis, but unfortunately his computer has been out of commission for the past while, so we haven't gotten any new graphic as of late.

If anyone wants to contribute some graphics, please do the following:

Take the zip file attached and unzip all the images. There is an instructions.txt included that describes a little bit of what some of the elements are.

modify the images and post them back up. I will do the best that I can to conform the UI to the best images that are created. I should be able to conform to anything, so feel free to be as creative as possible!

Thank you for any help!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nick-ao:
ok, with 2.7 I don't have error. good job
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Sweet! That's what I wanted to hear :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mallenat:
Solved with beta 2.7 ;). Great work!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jeremy007:
Hey, once again, I would like to tell u that the facebook apps is really well organise~ ! Better than the web and microsoft facebook which fare poorly relatively , HMM but can i ask u why the photos in ur fb cant be seen and frens profile pictures cant be seen too , pls help ! =) thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
thanks for the comments!

yes, photos arent implemented yet. they will be for beta 3.

the next piece implementing is the post and update status. then photos
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sinoo:
@joe_coolish

Just in case you missed it. Is it necessary to authorize the app again once you updated it? :)

Keep up your good job.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] davidgiga:
Available at XDA Market

Enjoy :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Sweet!!! Its beta 2.7 right?

and sinoo, authorization occurs automatically. so if the app prompts you to authorize then yes. else no.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mentalityx:
Thanks for the app. Glad I saw this topic title. ANything has to be better than the MS app for Fbook.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JukEboXAuDiO:
Hi guys. It has been a while since I posted. I installed the program and directly allowed the program on facebook. Unfortunately when I click on login the program still crashes. What can I do?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
hmmmm, can you get me the error message that pops up? either a screen shot or post the message

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] virganda:
wm STANDARD...

Please make this facebook app for windows mobile standard too mate...... :) Im use Moto Q9h.... thanx....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xkill3rprox:
Hey Joe, just to let you know, this beta 2.7 got rid of the error i had in beta 2.6.

Working well in Omnia II.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
it should work with WiMo Std. load it up and let me know if it works!

sweet! glad i could get things fixed!

side note. Posting comments and status updates are working in my last dev build. still some testing involved but another release should be soon!

stay tuned!

Crash when signing into facebook

I too am having an issue when I try to log in. I have Beta 2.7 installed and have authorized it on Facebook. The application crashes shortly after I try to log in.

Phone:

Verizon Touch Pro 2

SSK ROM WM 6.5 Build 28002

The error is as follows:

XDAFacebook.exe

NotSupportedException

[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hmmmm.... Is there any chance I could send you (or anyone with this error) a diagnostic version? The error (according to microsoft) is because "The request scheme specified in requestUri has not been registered". Well, I need to know what the requestUri is.

Basically the diagnostic version will save the Uri to an xml file. Then I'll have you copy the Uri's and PM them to me.

The ONLY Uris that should not be sent to anyone are the Uris in the form: https://graph.facebook.com/<SOME ID OR WORDS>?auth_key?123456|abcdefg|1a2b3c4d. Other than that, you can still filter the get vars, but nothing should tie back to your account

These uris contain information specific to you account. auth_keys are SENSITIVE. Don't send info with your auth_key!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mr. Equalizer:
If you want you can send it to me.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] egret85:
I can test this too if you would like.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
ok, I'll code it up and PM you guys the link later today.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
WOW!!! :)

Nice! Very nice to see a new real Facebook app for our soon obsolete Windows Mobile 6.5.xxxxxxxx.

I have an idea for it, please talk to A_C and let us have an integration with his S2U2 so we can see notifications and other stuff directly on the S2U2 screen like jailbroken iPhones have. That would take our win mobiles into the next decade :)

I realy hope you guys make this new facebook app to the end. We had a very nice iMDB app that was stoped when it was getting very good. I was very sad when i read it was closed for development.

Good luck and please hurry up! :) he he he
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thanks! and yes. I have the same IMDB app. There was a very good update just barely that improved a lot of things, but development has ended.

I know that I will have my HD2 for atleast a year. I am planning on having a 1.0 releast before the holidays (hopefully well before the holidays). I will continue to develop the app as long as I have this phone. Mainly because I use facebook and the current one sucks. But also because I know a lot of people really want this and will use this on a daily basis.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
And what do you think of speaking to A_C about what i asked for? :)

Do you use S2U2 on your device?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
I don't use S2U2, but features like integrating with 3rd party apps is definitely going to happen
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
I have spoken to A_C before about this and using the info from fim, but the guy who makes this has not answered my PM to him. So, the thing A_C needs it to know where to fetch the info then maybe it can be a reality to have facebook on S2U2's lockscreen. :)

Sorry if i have missed, but when this is done what will it do more exactly?

I see alot of potential, that's why i wonder. Will it do the same and more as Fim does, e.g notifications and stuff? I meen, will it alert us when things happens on the facebook page?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Well, FIM is just the instant messaging portion of facebook. This is a full client with all the features of the current client, plus whatever people want. I want this to be the product that people use to do all facebooking from their WinMo phone.

That is what it will do when it is done :)
