Like title says, facebook as an update from market would not install. I removed existing fb and install clean, no dice. A copy of the olderversion also would not install. SOmething about not signed came up. Any ideas?
Love the Overclocked "nonsense" CM7
I wiped dalvik fixed permissions now all is good.... except. Now it just force closes as soon as i try to open it

The latest facebook version doesn't work for me either. I have learned to back-up my facebook app before updating it.
I tried the backup and wouldn't install. I'm running the newest one finally. After a bunch of cache wipes and fix permissions I got it working. Even the backup did not want to cooperate.

Yep the latest FB update has issues. It installed fine for me on my G2 with CM7 nightly 41, but it force closes when tapping Profile, Friends, or Messages from the main screen. I didn't back up the previous version so I'm stuck with it until they release an update. Unless someone is so kind as to post an apk of the previous version.
It runs fine on my GF's Fascinate (running 2.1) though.
I've always found that the quality of the Android FB app mirrors the relationship between FB and Google.

Yea same here, wouldn't install for me.
I gave up on the official Facebook app and went with Flow for Facebook. Way better than the official app.

It's not a ROM issue, it's an app issue. Every major update FB does breaks all sorts of **** (so much for internal testing); I always read user comments first before updating their app and wait until they clear up the issues.

If you've got 1.5.2 backed up by Titanium Backup then go back to that and it works fine until Facebook fix it.

Having the same issues running CM 6.1. Every time I have updated, I always end up removing updates and going back to Version 1.4.1. It has been the least buggy version for me...
Lol, damn, i wish I would have read the reviews!
Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks
Does facebook release a beta before sending out updates?

the Market actually has an option to remove the most recent update, so you can just run that

Can anyone please upload the 1.5.2 version? My TB already backed up the 1.5.3 and I only see "uninstall" on the market, no 'uninstall updates' option.
Swtiched to Seesmic
I also couldn't go back, and got tired (very quickly) so I am now trying Seesmic for facebook config only. It seems to work okay if you get tried of waiting.

Google "facebook 1.5.2 .apk" and find yourself a download link for the old version... Helped for me.

The latest update fixed the FC bugs.

I'm getting a "package file was not signed correctly" when I try to update to 1.5.4 from 1.5.2. Any ideas?
*edit* : fixed it, had to uninstall, reboot and reinstall. Weird.
update fixed the fc's for me, too.
Rooted Incredible running CMW 3.0.0.8 and CM7 rom and I am having a problem with the facebook app.
This is after a factory reset & clearing of the caches and installed this app from the market...didn't restore it.
Opening up facebook works fine & navigation is good. I've tested everything else, but when i try to go to messages, the app crashes. I get the message "Sorry! The application Facebook (process com.facebook.katana) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." & gives me the option to Force Close or Report.
Any advice would be helpful.
Might be just an issue with the app as mine has started doing something similar after I got the latest version.

I used Titanium to roll back to 1.5.1, latest 1.5.3.
I'm using CM7 Final. It appears to be an issue with the new update.
Same issue and I believe the new FB update is causing it, I dont recall the error before.
The question I have now is where can I download 1.5.1 and use that until FB fixes the issue? Thanks for all the info. Makes me feel better its not something I borked. Man do I love cm7

Thanks! Appreciate the help. Hope this works
Synisterwolf...you're a frustration saver! Worked like a charm.
Well the feedback in the market tells me that everybody is having FC problems with it since the new update, not just us dinc/CM7 users.

The best part? Facebook hasn't even addressed the issue publicly. The SECOND best part is Facebook hired Erick Tseng, a lead Android exec, to work on their mobile front. Fist full of phail.

Thanks wolf ...it works like charm
Using Skyraider 3.5. The Facebook v1.5.3 works perfectly.
I was having issues with the latest update of the Facebook app. The worst part was that it seemed to bring down a bunch of other services with it, like Google Maps, Skyfire, Beautiful Widgets, and sometimes even LuancherPro.
I uninstalled the app and now FB through a Skyfire bookmark. No issues.

New market update confirmed and coming soon according to Google. I think it looks pretty awesome. People are already yelling about the WP7 comparisons, but I think its pretty slick.
I think it looks quite smart. Bring it on
yup its very pretty, so us rooted users wont be able to rent movies?

Mine was choppy and didn't display images till i rebooted. then it worked just fine.
also if you're rooted you can try to wipe market data in titanium backup and reboot. or wipe cache and reboot and try that.
Works pretty dam good on non-rooted stock.
Video is nice and smooth. Couldn't really tell I was streaming on mobile data. (Which was probably 4g)

dang! Im running the pyro rom but cant get this to install. it just says "Application not installed" anyone has any ideas how to fix this?
Anyone having issues updating apps? I've had 2 apps now show up in the 'update' heading, but when u click thru to the app the top dialogue boxes are 'open' and 'uninstall', as if that page doesn't recognize that there's an update.
Once 2 apps were available for updating, the "update 2" button comes up and it allows me to hit it. 1 of the 2 updated. the other still won't. Tried wiping Market data and rebooting, no luck. bleh.
UPDATE: Well after doing several reboots and etc. etc., I just simply went back to the file (From this thread) and re-installed the market again. Now the 'update' button shows up! Not sure what I did but it works now.

I have tried renaming the marketupdate.apk in system/app but it still updates itself. I have tried freezing said apk with titanium backup and yet it still updates itself. I have a version of the market that I like but installing it everyday is getting old. How can I successfully keep it from updating on its own?? I'm on CM7.1 btw. Thanks.
Did you freeze the market or market updater?

I froze the Market Updater using Titanium Backup.
A quick search found me this

Yep, multiple times. I have installed the old version a few times now. I must have jacked with the wrong file or something cuz now the new version FCs when I try to download somthing and the old version closes as soon as I click the Market icon. LOL. I need to reinstall my ROM anyway. Fresh start.
It definitely decreased the visibility for my app. In that way I don't like it, but as a user, I got used to it.
