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.

That does not mean it's CM7 in relation to this FB issue.

looking under the review section for the app in the market, you'll see a lot of folks are complaining about the new update having lots of problems.

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.

The 1.53 is a headache :X I am running CM7 and whenever I want to view a profile through contact it crashes, I open it, it crashes, I sync calenders, it crashes.
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.

I have the EXACT same setup as you and I get the same force close all the time. adroid process.acore has failed or something like that. I have no idea what the issue is though.

you guys aren't the only ones getting this there are some people that are getting it on azreal as well i think it may have to do with a bad nandblock pray that i'm wrong as idk of any way to fix a bad block, but its the only explanation that i can think of why its happening to multiple people on different ROMS.
update: there are reports of Sprint lovers ROM doing this as well
Same problem here. I've used both roms with the same problem on both.
Anyone have some idea why?

Same here, starting yesterday or today. And I'm running Fresh 3.4 with King BFS 12.
A full wipe along with a reinstall seem to have fixed the problem for me. Before I had experienced it at boot, but now its no longer appearing so... I would say this may work.

This worked for me I was getting the same error all day and I found it has something to do with contact syncing.
Note I only recommend doing this if all your contacts are synced using gmail or you will lose your contacts.
Solution:
1. turn off Google contact syncing
2. Make a backup of contacts in gmail - ex. export data in csv or vcf
3. then click "manage applications" & "contacts storage" then tap on "clear cache" and "clear data" ATTENTION ! ALL CONTACTS DATA ON PHONE WILL BE LOST!!
4. turn on sync again.
I hope this helps.
I can confirm that clearing contacts cache will fix this problem. I had the same issue using LeeDroid and MIUI Roms, cleared contacts cache and all fixed. I sync contacts via Google so it automatically restored my contacts.

Me too, it started on virus ROM, I wiped and flashed calkulin, still getting the same Fc's. It hasn't done it today, I do get a Fc of com.HTC.bp or something like that lately too, I cant figure out what's causing it or where its located in the ROM. I was thinking something may have happened to my hardware but I guess im not the only one now.
Has anyone been experiencing any FC's on the XDA app when attempting to access the settings section?
I haven't. I'm using the new paid version tho so I'm not sure.
You can always try clearing data or a fresh install.

I think it was 99 cents... not a huge difference, but it's ad-free, different layout options and it supports the site...so well worth it IMO.

I'm sorry man.. that sucks. Wish I could help.
Actually, the free XDA-Developers app is no longer on the market. I went and saw there was an update for it and I went to update it and it said the item couldn't be found. :|
Mine when open the app after still on the background sometime so didn't connect to the servers, press back button and FC, every time that happens.
I had some FC'S on mine as well and for some reason I had to do a cache/dalvik cache clean via recovery and that worked for me...not sure if that would do it for everyone or if you would even need to go that far but it fixed mine...

yea same thing here makes it impossible to search for things when on the go
They removed the free one from the market and for some reason that's when I started to get FC and when I removed it and tried to reinstall it that's when I realized that it was not in the market anymore I got the paid version cause it was only $.99 but it was kinda odd that it started to happen when they removed the free version.
Yeah, ran into this today. Been using the blue flashable xda for a long time. Today, it somehow auto updated. I hate the brown, but do wanna support xda. I saw comments in market saying the new version diesnt seem to remember 'last read'. And that that color picks in settings doesn't work.
Any chance of a blue themed version coming. ?

Ok. So I went to manage apps, uninstall updates. Uninstalled update on xda. Got my blue xda back, but icon was still diarrhea brown (fugly), was frustrated. But, just rebooted and all is back to blue. Sure hope someone will work on this.
Thanks in advance to jchisurf, riptide, stoney, aamikam, etc

pretty lame that the XDA free app is no longer available........I wenth ahead and forked over the .99 cents to purchase it...........but it would never install, so just before the 15 minutes elapsed, I did the "refund"...........pretty lame indeed............come on XDA, bring the free app back.
I saw there was an update and tried to update and the item wasn't found, but then I did a long hold on the app in "my apps" and there was an update option. That worked to update mine. No FCs so far!
I did have to re-select my subscribed threads. But the app now tells you if people are online!

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.

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...

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.

So I'm using the Mimicry 1.5.0 ICS ROM, and when I downloaded Facebook, it looks all zoomed in. Its hard to explain so I guess you'll have to see for yourself. I've tried multiple times uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I've erased and re installed the ROM and it always comes out this way. Hopefully someone can find a fix for me. And i've tried using FriendCaster, but I would much rather prefer the Facebook app instead, so please don't suggest apps. Thanks in advance!

I am suffering from the same issue. This weird zoom-in thing happens also on my current rom "cm10 testbuild-120". It was same on Mimicry 1.5 as mentioned above. Pics through the news feed doesn't look properly and overflow my screen. On my friend's nexus and desire c with stock sense, there seems to be no problem with app layout or another issue.
