Facebook looking awfully weird - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Hey everyone. My first post and I'm excited to have changed from CM7 to CM10! Thanks to the devs btw for making this possible. Anywho, I've searched for this already on here an Google to no avail. I've installed the Facebook app on my IC2 and for some reason, it looks like entirely different than the original. Doesn't look the same. I've provided a snapshot of it so hope it helps. And it's not just the layout that's changed but even my cover photo isn't visible. Anyone know what's going on?

mine did that when i came to PA, after a restart or two it gave me the option to update my facebook app and it went back to normal

Yeah unfortunately hasn't given me the option to update... yet. Hopefully it does in the near future...

I thought this was the normal look for mobile? I haven't seen any other versions.

I think it has to do with what the Facebook servers are giving you on cm10. I think its because jelly bean devices are all higher resolution than ours. It does it on the mobile website too, but if you change the user agent to iPhone on your browser it will look normal.

Phantom, parts of it look the same. But with the current version of Facebook for Android, I guess you could say that my layout for my wall looks entirely different. If you check it out on the Play store, mines doesn't look like that. Only the top portion seems to be okay. I don't even have a cover photo! But it's more of an annoyance than anything.

Same here and Pandora changed too.

This has happened to me as well on CM9. I think the Facebook app thinks you are on a higher resolution device.

Yeah, I'm actually glad people know what I mean. I'm starting to agree with that. Probably explains why when I go to the Facebook site on the browser it sends me to the Facebook full site instead of the mobile. Hope they fix it soon!

Lol, Facebook is known to be slow on updates. For the time being, I just check Facebook on my computer... I don't need it for mobile.

Yeah like I said it's more of an annoying look. Functions for the basics so I'm not too concerned...

So just thought I'd like to give a last update for this before I leave it floating in cyberspace... I upgraded to Global 4.1.2 JB and my Facebook layout came back. So basically everything is back to normal... I think. Maybe it was just a CM9 thing but cheers!

I killed my Facebook app and it went to the same layout as the reason this thread was made. And won't go back to normal. Fml

Use friend caster, along with this issue I was having more issues on top of that with the Facebook app. It just really....really sucks.

Sooooo.. one LAST update, I promise. Switched back to CM9 Psycho because CM10 right now was just too buggy for my phone. Everything with Psycho has been awesome, including camera. Anyways, that also brought me back to the original Facebook that I had when I started this post and it basically reverted but I rather have a stable phone than a distorted Facebook look. But I guess the problem just comes with CM9 altogether. Anyways, cheers! :silly:

i just use friendcaster its better all around anyways. may not be pretty but its hella functional. im sticking with that till we get a native fb app like we were promised.

I'm trying to use friend caster but the ads are killing me. I tried using lucky patcher to remove them but had no luck

I read through nearly all of the comments and of those mentioning they had a G2 all but 2 or 3 said they were having this problem. I'm gonna wait for them to fix it for the G2.

The new youtube app isn't the only one that was updated. Most of the gapps also have new versions on the market. For example, the shopper app or the street view app had new versions on the market that I wasn't aware of until I searched pub:"Google Inc." You guys should probably download those as well.

Yeah probably, but the apps weren't linked to the market so I had no idea that some of the other apps were updated too. For example, maps always updates itself so I assumed the rest of the gapps would do the same.
Try avoiding the use of the "back" button while you're in the YouTube app. It hasn't crashed for me since I stopped. I'm sure an update will come pretty soon. This is an entirely new version of the app, it may take awhile to get all the bugs worked out. Looks promising, though. I like the UI.

New market update

http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/12/google-updating-android-market-app-on-phones-adding-movies-and/
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?
Here's the new update.. ....courtesy of loxdev.
Installed it on CM7without problems...

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.

New google music out

New google music .apk out if you'd like to try it early. And I know you do
Uninstall old GM prior to install.
Also, if you have trouble syncing with your online music try clearing app data, or just uninstall and reinstall and that seems to clear up that issue.
Looks sick. Thanks man.

Thanks for the heads up. I've got the new version installed, it's mostly a nice graphic update. One thing I did notice is that the "make available offline" option is no longer included, which kind of sucks.
Also, I was hoping that there would be some work done on the Music widget, which is frankly pretty lame. Unfortunately the widget looks exactly the same.

"make available offline" is still there- you might have to clear data or uninstall/reinstall
Perfect. Thank you.
Thanks for posting this. I used the beta sparingly but they have Linux support now I hope we get to keep this for free

I recently bought a 32 GB micro SD chip. Makes this a little unneeded. Checked it out any way. Didn't really notice a difference other than the UI looking a little different.

Version? Source?
What version is this? And where did you get it? I'm currently running 3.0.1.399. Is this different than the 4.0.1 ICS build that was leaked recently? I a curious why the file is named "Music2" (as opposed to 3/4). I'm extremely weary of installing something like this on my device.

Is anybody else having a problem with album art? I'm using 500x500 or better images but the now playing screen looks like a 50x50 thumbnail stretched. Love the new setup though, landscape mode looks SO much better.

New market not showing all images.

This problem had been bugging me for a while and im just interested if anyone else is having the same problem.
When checking out apps on the new market i can only view images 1,3,5 and since on. If there is only 2 preview images i can only view preview one.
This never happened on the old market place. Its only since the new market appeared.
Is there anyone else having this problem.

That's why IMO its better to roll back to the previous version.
Settings->market->uninstall updates
The "freeze" the market updater with Titanium Backup, and you can stay on the old market for as long as you want...

Hi,
I did that, its working but for some apps, for some the old way like not showing the images in the even # screens.
I have the same problem
So its not just me than.
I would roll back but I've got used to the new market now.
I'm sure they know that people are having thus problem and will fix it soon.
Or maybe not.

It's nice that you brought this up, I thought the rom is having problem or something. Will use ccrows suggestion. Thanks

I had the sand problem , the market was not collecting cache . But this will automatically get solved in a day or so.

Facebook Update?

I've never seen a Facebook Update like this before and it says I need to unblock unknown sources so I'm pretty sure it's not legit. But how would this happen? I downloaded Facebook right off of Google Play

bypass play store. um. nah. not going to do that for an already slimy company. and auto update doesn't sound too good. I know it can't install without permission but still. nah. bubye fb.
good thing i dont use the app anymore. i use flipboard for my feed and imo.im app for messaging. no need for the app here
All in app updates need unknown sources checked since they don't come from the plsystore
I like to break stuff!
I'm just making a wild guess but maybe Facebook 2.3 is a Jelly Bean thing?
That would explain why the Play Store isn't being updated.
