This project should avoid the name FacebookLite or Facebook Lite about faceslim

I agree. Maybe something like "Facebook Slim" would be better suited.

[G33KS44n]

I agree with you guys

[indywidualny]

Well. I will change the name in the future. I was first so the name is the same as the official Facebook product. It's a coincidence.

[jidanni]

"Facebook Slight"
or best to avoid "Facebook" altogether?
"Fazebook..."
"Phacebook... "
Better search Google first to see if those have been used already too...

[indywidualny]

I'm thinking of the name "Facer". Seems unique and nice :)

There is an app with the name "Facer Watch Faces" but it's a completely different project so it shouldn't be misleading.

[jidanni]

Also please add an article comparing the Facebook company's version and this project's version. Is there any reason for users to use one instead of the other, and which one.

@indywidualny "Facer" seems perfect! @jidanni I know the official "Facebook Lite" doesn't allow you to reply to comments, where as this one does. :)

[indywidualny]

@juzman Finally it's gonna be Facebook Slim. I just changed it and I will publish it next week :)

@indywidualny Sounds good 👍 Will checkout github for any other changes too. :)

[jidanni]

Any chance of putting it on Google Play for easy updates?

@jidanni Install F-Droid for easy updates.

[indywidualny]

@jidanni Unfortunately not - https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/2985871?hl=en

They removed it once and send me that link. Now I'm afraid I can be banned next time so I'm not doing anything stupid ;)

(Semi) auto updates can be done through F-Droid client - https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk
It's a really awesome way of updating apps from their database.

[jidanni]

OK I'll try F-Droid.

Actually even if you don't put it on Google Play, I am sure you will still run afoul of
https://www.facebookbrand.com/dos-donts .

Who can sleep easy at night worried that one day one will get a letter
from Facebook's lawyers?

Examining https://play.google.com/store/search?q=facebook
one sees that only their official apps start with "Facebook".

The others follow the format of "Slim for Facebook", etc.

[jidanni]

https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/2986098 , a good read, even though you don't intend to put it on Google Play.

[indywidualny]

So I will avoid Facebook in my name. It's good I didn't changed it yet. Well, now I'm aware :) I just didn't know it before, when the app was published for the first time.

[indywidualny]

BTW. Do you like FaceSlim / Face Slim? Facer is actually not a good name after some time of thinking.

@indywidualny What about "FBSlim" It technically doesn't have the word "Facebook" in it. Just have the description as "FaceBook Slim". ;)

[indywidualny]

Ok, did it. Facebook lawyers are no longer my concern. Face Slim, because it looked the best on my apps list. I have to e-mail F-Droid and tell them to change the name in their repository. Update should be @ F-Droid in the morning. It's actually the same build as before. I just updated some libraries and targeted Marshmallow.

https://github.com/indywidualny/FaceSlim/releases/tag/v1.8.0

@indywidualny Yep, checked changes on github. 👍

[indywidualny]

Ok, thank you for you attention and thanks for that trademark infringement warning @jidanni
If something is wrong feel free to create another issue. Cya ;)

[jidanni]

Please close this bug when the new name is fully up and running on Fdroid … and Github.

[jidanni]

Please close this bug when the new name is fully up and running on Fdroid.

[indywidualny]

Ok. Everything is changed now. I just checked it out :)

[jidanni]

F-droid app only has old name!!!

[indywidualny]

Sorry but you are not right:

Please refresh f-droid database ;)

[jidanni]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByOmuSSxHabMeWI5LTB5WUpoUVE/view?usp=docslist_api OK but why didn't it update automatically?

[jidanni]

Was it the 14?

[jidanni]

Can't move app to sdcard.

[jidanni]

www.quora.com/Why-cant-some-Android-apps-like-Facebook-or-WhatsApp-be-moved-to-the-SD-card-in-a-non-rooted-phone-Why-cant-developers-add-this-feature but real FB lite can be moved.

[jidanni]

No icon put into launcher. And…
!! Your "f" icon is just begging for their lawyers to swing into action!!

[jidanni]

98% same as real app… too coincidental!

[jidanni]

By launcher I mean no shortcut created.

[indywidualny]

Yes, you cannot move it to SD Card. It have to be installed into internal memory and it's small enough so it shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise notifications will not work so I blocked installing into SD Card.

About the icon - it's just the "f" letter in Helvetica or Roboto generated here: http://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-launcher.html#foreground.space.trim=1&foreground.space.pad=0&foreColor=607d8b%2C0&crop=0&backgroundShape=square&backColor=ffffff%2C100&effects=none
so it's 100% mine and whatever ^^
They changed their logo and colors recently (a little bit) so it's my, independent color.

But the issue is not really about it ;)

[jidanni]

Yes I am trying to reduce the confusion between the two projects. Your icon is 100 % the sane as theirs except for being more centered.

[indywidualny]

I will change it then. I will collect more issues and I will release a new version with a new icon and some fixes. I suppose it's gonna happen next month. I'm a little busy at the moment.

[jidanni]

OK.
