Face Slim - light Facebook for Android phones

by GarciaPL on Saturday, 18 June 2016

If you are trying to speed up your Android phone, you should consider uninstalling Facebook! You can read more about that phenomenon for instance here : https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/42kyph/uninstalling_facebook_speeds_up_your_android/. To be honest my phone is much faster after removing Facebook.

After uninstalling Facebook, you might looking for replacement. There is a application called Face Slim [1]. Maybe it is not perfect, but if you only view posts on Facebook and put comment occasionally, it might be totally fine.

Recently I installed this application on Samsung Galaxy S3. After running it, I found that I am not able to login due to bad rendering of login screen [2]. Only what you need to do, is clearing UA (User Agent) settings in application.

I would like to present you some showcase of using PHP SDK to integrate with Facebook which was developed by Naitik Shah one of the Facebook employee. Appropriate reference to this very powerful SDK you can find in reference below.

So, I have created some small showcase which aims to show how to retrieve Facebook profile (not person, but some organisation or business) and print entries which was published on it's wall. Every entry is described by Name, Image (if was uploaded), Creation time, Title and Description as on screenshot below.

FB Profile list of entries

As you can see you can also set post range for FB Profile which posts are listed. Default FB Profile is set as 'Google'.

 The project has been removed from github.

There is a also one additionally page which allows user to add and remove FB profiles. Once you are going to add new FB profile you should provide FB Profile name which should strictly defined it and FB Url name. You can get more information how to obtain this Url name through hovering the mouse over the words "(Show hint)". All FB profiles are stored in SQLite database. More information about it's structure you can find in fb_db.sql file.
