faceslim's Introduction

Face Slim

Releases | [pl] wydania: https://github.com/indywidualny/FaceSlim/releases

Face Slim is an unofficial Facebook application for Android devices that resembles the Facebook Mobile Web Application before Facebook started removing features. FaceSlim is free of spyware, unlike what is built into the official Facebook and Facebook Messenger applications.

faceslim's Issues

gingerbread support.

hi,
is it possible for u to support gingerbread devices? i'd like to try it on my gb device too. it's fantastic! thanks.

Can't upload/take images

On Samsung Galaxy S3 mini with stock 4.4.2 not rooted, button for taking/uploading pictures not working at all.

New permissions

Hello. I was going to update facebook lite and I have noticed that new permissions are required. What are they needed for? why does it need the identity of the phone? One of the coolest things of this app was that it needs a lot of less permissions than the original facebook app

[Feature Request] Clean External Links, i.e. Circumvent Facebook's Redirected

Hello everyone, as you probably know every external link that is shared on Facebook gets redirected via Facebook if you click it. (If you don't know what I mean, just hover over an external link on Facebook's desktop version and look where it's heading to.) Thereby, Facebook is aware of every link you click.
It would be great, if the app would feature an option to "clean" these external links, i.e. don't use Facebook's redirect service, but go directly to the actual links instead.

Thanks for considering my suggestion!

Unable to open links

Every time I try to open a link, Facebook lite closes immediately without any errors.

Tagging

Whenever I try to share a post, and try and tag someone in it. I type @[name] yet nothing comes up to tag them.

Ability to maximize videos

It's possible to play videos posted in the social network but it's not possible to maximize them using the button from the lower-right corner. It is possible via Chrome entering m.facebook.com though.

black theme not working #32

bug ...need help

Make it clear on homescreen that notifications should be setup to be usable

Just like describing the refresh and menu usage on the welcome screen, also describe that we need to setup notifications. (If I hadn't accidentally come across it in settings, I would have uninstalled FaceSlim, thinking it doesn't provide notifications)

Also providing a list of features in F-droid description would make it clear to the users.

Redundant loading spinner pictures on page bottoms

Many FB Slim pages have started showing non-animated and redundant loading spinnet icons on the bottom of the page. See: http://i.imgur.com/uLQOVof.jpg

feature request: choose the slide-menu bar side

Hi, love the app but can't use it ergonomically since the side-slide menu is unreachable for my thumb when using the phone single-handedly. I'd suggest adding an option to app setting to choose which side(s) does the menu slide from.

It would also make sense for the menu button (hw or virtual) to open the menu as well. Currently, nothing happens when menu button is pressed.

cheers!

-cM.

Update versionCode

While you have updated (and tagged) a couple of version (names), your versionCode is still at 1. The versionCode is an integer that is used to check for updates.

forward button

Could a forward button be added to the menus? For just in case one hits the back button too many times.
Just have it recall the previous URL.

Zoom out return position problem in CHAT. #26

enable proxy settings and ToR usage

Using orbot agent on my device it would be great to be able to use it as sock proxy.
Maybe it would be possible to use Facebook's onion site : https://www.facebookcorewwwi.onion/

black theme not working

with latest version on android 4.1.2. do you need more information?

Notification URL opens in browser

When I click "get your notifications feed", my browser opens the following URL https://goo.gl/t3vJ33

The browser then redirects me to the Facebook login page.

It would be better if the URl was a direct link to https://www.facebook.com/notifications and opened in the FaceSlim app. I don't want to log into FB in my browser.

Multiple account support?

Hi. Great app! Thanks for developing this.
Any chance that in future it would support multiple accounts?
That would be awesome!
Thanks.

use different logo

1.8.1 still uses FB Corp proprietary logo/icon. Please use a red FS to not confuse with official FB branding.

Contacts provider ?

It would be great if FB Lite could provide contacts to Android (especially for photos and birthdays), now that https://github.com/loadrunner/Facebook-Contact-Sync doesn't work anymore (v1 api closed).

Maybe say on "Terminate" that it won't log you out, or just call it exit (app)

Maybe say on "Terminate" that it won't log you out. Else it is too scary to press.

Usually app have an "exit", not a "terminate". So one gets worried.

I suppose if it were called exit then we would have a 80% confidence that it wouldn't log us out instead of the current 70% of "terminate".

Maybe call it "exit app". But probably "exit" is best.

Activate/Deactivate Menu by Hardware Menu button.

Most phones/Android devices have a hardware "menu button". User's of such devices are accustomed to finding menu. It would be nice to follow the same pattern

Add privacy features

Like the capability to block sending the "Seen" notifications in messages.

[Feature Request] Context menu for pictures

Would be great if the context menu would also be there when long-clicking on a single picture.
So the ability to share && / || save would be great to see!

Now it only works for albums, because thats a link.

Zoom out return position problem in CHAT.

Hello,

app is great but I've found 1 annoying "bug". In CHAT if You move back to older messages and get message with few photos, zoom in to one of them and press close button then You go back to... end of conversation. So You have to go back all way again to see another photo, and over and over again that way...

Would be great if app remembers its position in chat.

Greetings,
Mike

Features request : option to start the application on the inbox link and option to share a link with the app

Hi,
It would be nice to be able to start the app directly on inbox in order to avoid the Facebook wall ranking algorithm that make us all loose time by being distracted. I am sure not to be the only one to use Facebook for messages only :).
Also another nice feature would be to be able to share a link or text from another app via the Android share menu.
Thank you in advance!

Where to find app settings?

Not able to find app settings menu to try new notification support

CSS seems broken

This project should avoid the name FacebookLite or Facebook Lite

Wouldn't it be wise to read
https://www.facebookbrand.com/dos-donts
when considering to continue to use essentially the same name as
the https://www.facebook.com/lite/ product?

Legal battles with deep pockets corporations might not be advisable,
unless one is hoping for a financial settlement on "who came first" ...

Besides the legal issue, there is also the never ending confusion caused to new users, despite any disclaimer notices.

Question: Does this app put facebook in a privacy sandbox like Tinfoil does?

Does this app put facebook in a privacy sandbox like Tinfoil does?

Phone Identity and Status permissions

As per Issue #14 , phone identity and status permissions are requested. This appears to be due to the saxrssreader having a minSdkVersion of < 4:

$ tail -2 app/manifest-merger-release-report.txt
android:uses-permission#android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE
IMPLIED from AndroidManifest.xml:2:1 reason: nl.matshofman.saxrssreader has a targetSdkVersion < 4

A quick test changing minSdkVersion to 15 (that of the Facebook Lite app) removed this inherited requirement.

Allow moving to SD card

Are you sure notifications won't work if this app is on the SD card? They work fine for real Facebook Lite.
This app my be small but its cache grows with no trim mechanism.

Ability to share things

I would to see ability for FaceSlim to be on the list of apps when I want to share something (text, for start, but sharing images also would be neat thing to have, if possible).

allow open item in new tab

Perhaps allow more than one 'tab' to exist at one time.

Headerbar color does not match Facebook navbar color

The two blue colors are different.

problem with traslucent navbar

It's impossible to clik link on bottom of a page

Upload photos

Can't select a photo to upload or opening camera

Blacklists and whitelists for Facebook notification Android alerts.

User story: I am in certain groups which cause a lot of facebook notifications. While I need the notification in facebook, I don't want to be alerted every now and then, unless it is about my post. That is when it comes to those groups. I don't want any posts about games. I don't want any alerts for "status update"s of a certain friend. (I still want the notifications, but not the alerts)

Such blacklists/ whitelists should help to maintain our sanity.

Tech perspective: I checked the RSS feed, and the "title" string seems to be the easiest.

Example Blacklist :

[
{ Where: "anywhere", What: "in Indian Birds.", hard: false },
{ Where: "end", What: "CandyCrush.", hard: true },
{ Where: "beginning", What: "Mr Science" , hard: false},
{ Where: "beginning", What: "Mr JoblessIrritatingFellaThatYouCanReplyAtLiesure", hard: true},
{ Where: "anywhere", What: "SomeAwesomeSingerOfGenreYouDontCare came to CityYouDontCare" , hard: false}
]

Whitelist:

[
{ Where: "anywhere", What: "commented on your"},
{ Where: "anywhere", What: "liked your"},
{ Where: "anywhere", What: "ACloseFriend'sName"}
]

In blacklist, "Hard" would mean "Don't even look into the Whitelist, just block!

Facebook NavBar (with hover) misaligned

After clicking on a link and returning to the news feed, as well as other things, one odd thing I notice is that there are things horizontally misaligned, mainly the navbar.

I am using 4.1.2 (so AOSP-based WebView) and I have the drawer on the right and the floating nav bar on.

add dummy font size preference

People will be looking for a font size preference. Make one and inside it just say that there is no way to control font size (which I guess is the case.)

no way to return to all notifications

Tap globe.
Tap see all notifications.
Tap a notification and read it.
Now tap back button.
We are now back on the first page of notifications and not where we were.

New message notification ( chat )
