Info/description:

Description:
The current facebook application developed by Microsoft for the .net Compact Framework is lacking in refinement. We have decided to take this into our own hands and provide a better facebook experience for Windows Mobile.

The application is currently in Beta and features frequent updating. The current functionality is growing each week and will soon be enough to satisfy all your basic Facebook needs. The end goal is to have a solution that allows for all Facebook features to be utilized on Windows Mobile.

Note:Check out the Main Development Thread on XDA-Developers for more information.Also follow development on Twitter!Road Map: click here to see a road map of development.

Features:
- Update your status! Go to your profile and click on your status to edit Upload pictures! (Coming soon, Album selection for image uploading).
- Browse your friend's profiles!
- View Notifications!
- Skinning! Click here for details about skinning the application.

Known Bugs:
Facebook authentication can be iffy on older devices. Please read the bottom of this post for more information.

Since the application is being developed on an HTC HD2, some graphics might not look right on other devices. once the app has been fully skinned for these devices, the graphics will look better Also, since this application is in Beta, there might be other bugs or crashes.

Please contact me with bug information and I will quickly address the problem.
Best way to contact the developer: Start a new issue on the Google Code Page, XDA Developers Forum Thread or Twitter.

If you like this project, please consider donate to the developer.

Update Description:
v4.4.1 Beta:
- Bug fixes.

v4.4 Beta:
- New Post items! Posts now support viewing links and all the information that is available via Facebook Graph.
- Fixed Photo albums! Now you can view all of the photos in the photo albums. Not just the first 25 pictures!
- Inbox! Unfortunately, Facebook does not allow 3rd party apps to compose messages. This was enabled for a short period of time, but was heavily abused and thus, removed. But you can veiw them!
- Post Deletion! This one was actually one of the biggest let-downs. With Post deletion, you can only delete posts that YoU made with XDAFacebook. Also, there is no way to know if you made the post with XDAFacebook (that I've descovered atleast) so the only way to know is try and if it fails, too bad!
* To delete a post, simply swipe from right to left over a post that you made. The post will slide over, revealing a delete button.
* Upon clicking, if the post is yours AND was done by XDAFacebook, it will successfully be deleted. If the post was not made by XDAFacebook, it will error out.
* If the post does not slide, make sure that you are swiping from Right to Left, and that the post was made by the logged int XDAFacebook user. Also note that you have a Y-axis tollerance of 1/8 your screen size, so make sure that you aren't moving your finger up or down too much.
- Requests are now MUCH faster!
- Events! Now you can view your invited events and your events that you have responded to. This is still in early stages and more will be added to it.
- Add and view Notes! The notes section has been created.
- Speed improvements! Several optimizations were required to handle the new items, so things should be more efficient. However, there is always room for improvement!
- Small Bug fixes:
* Fixed a small bug with Textbox Items not handling onFocus events.
* Also! Added a "Done" and "Cancel" buttons to the Textbox Items. Now you can click the softkey and have the dialog disapear oR cancel the changes.
* Various other fixes that I can't think of.

v4.1.1 Beta:
- Photo Albums! Pictures can now be viewed in XDAFacebook.
* Big pictures will open up in the default browser for the time being. once I make a good photo viewer, I'll replace that.
* Also, the settings menu has a whole section dedicated to photos. Feel free to play with the settings, but numerical values == 0 or <0 will cause the app to crash! There is no safty net for this!
* There is a number for concurrent image downloads. This number should be between 6-10. Any more can cause slow down, and less and the effect seems non-existant. I've gone as high as 25 and felt pretty good about it. But I haven't dared push it to the limit!
* New albums had a few bugs so I held back on this release. It will be coming soon!
- older Posts! Feel free to browse the older posts I've successfully gone about a days worth of posts back w/o any lag.
- Searchable Friends List! I added a search box at the top of the friends search list
- Memory Management! Special Thanks goes out to Corwin9S. He helped me look at the memory usage. I reduced the CPU cycles by ~30%. It still takes up about 3-6 mbs of RAM. This is caused by Form Allocations, DLL imports, etc. Most of the space is just allocated space that I can't get rid of. I will try to find more ways to make the RAM usage go down, but from what I've been told by some people at MSFT, this numer isn't uncommon or bad. CPU cycles are what count and that's what I'm trying to optimize.
- GUI fixes! I finished the drop-downs, so they look a little more professional. I also added the numerical counters. There are still more that can be done on them, so I will continue improving their apperance and performance.- Rollup of bug fixes.
- And finally SPEED!! This version should be the fastest yet. Rendering times are super quick and load times seem to be back to where they belong.
