Can I add a Facebook tab?
 

I would like to add a Facebook tab to my stock Verizon WinMo6.5/Sense 2.5 phone.

Could sombody please point me in the right direction?

Searching "add, Manila, Facebook" and "tab" pretty much gets me every ROM out there, combined with questions about REMOVING Facebook alltogether.

I'd much appreciate some guidance. I can do without Twitter... but would really like a Facebook tab, instead.

Here you go!

The Ziggy .cab didn't work for me... but I appreciate the effort, prompt reply and lack of the usual "search for it" responce.

Oddly, searching for "Manila Footprints tab" (I was just curious what Footprints is/are?) I came across this thread:

...and following the steps outlined, I have a Facebook tab up and running.

Thanks again.

Just in case, here is another CAB to try that worked for me.

ok, i just realized that all of the posts here are verizon users and i have sprint....can somebody help me regain my sense???

Re: Can I add a Facebook tab?
 

hate to say it man, but sounds like a hard reset is in your near future. if you already uninstalled it, then not much else you can do. maybe try installing a different cab.

Re: Can I add a Facebook tab?
 

this one is specifically for sprint stock rom

did it work?

Re: Can I add a Facebook tab?
 

ok...now that i'm back in business...is there a with to view responses to the comments made on statuses using this version of fb?

Re: Can I add a Facebook tab?
 

I'm afraid I already know the answer, but any Twitter/Facebook tabs available for us stock 6.5/2.1 guys [USC phone]?

Re: Can I add a Facebook tab?
 

someone please correct me if im worng, but i dont think theres FB or Twitter tabs for 2.1.

Re: Can I add a Facebook tab?

Re: Can I add a Facebook tab?
 

+1!!!

Sounds like you fixzed it. If you run into this again with another tweek or cab, try this:

Plug your phone into your PC using the data cable and see it ActiveSync detects and syncs with the phone.

Then under the install/remove programs section, see if it'll give you a list of installed programs and .cabs. If the .cab is there, un-check it and see if ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center will remove the installed .cab.

Reset and see what happens.

This has worked for me on two occasions where I was convinced I bricked my phone.

Also, for future reference, use a backup utility. I've gotten in the habit of using SPB Backup once a week. In the event of a hard reset, I can be up and running in about ten minutes with my last-known stable configuration, with all previous programs, tweaks and .cabs installed and running fine.

Coulda', shouda', woulda', right?

Maybe someone cooked one for us.

Re: Can I add a Facebook tab?
 

Didn't work.

I installed the melwater version .cab and then uninstalled it.

Now I don't have sense at all.

Just says Tap here to start sense.....then trys over and over againd but never actually starts it.

have done 3 soft resets.

Guessing hard reset is now my next step.

Wish I had done spb backup prior to installing this.

Might try reinstalling it and then soft-reseting to see if sense will then load up as it did before.

EDIT: Reinstalling the APP brings Sense back to life. Guess now got to figure out which edited manila file is causing the issue.

Re: Can I add a Facebook tab?
 

Here's what you need to do....

1. What version of manila
2. Upload your "\windows\26948339_manila"

And I'll fix one for ya...

Re: Can I add a Facebook tab?
 

Manila Version: 2.5.20132227.0

I have 3 versions of that _manila file.

The Current one is named that way since I could not bluetooth transfer this file to my desktop till I renamed it.

That is teh currently running version that allows Sense to work again.

Dunno what those three were, but I think I fixed the lot...

thanks will give it a try.

Re: Can I add a Facebook tab?
 

if thats how you search, make sure you select "titles only" in the dropdown to avoid rom threads..

and when searching google, use your terms but add ppcgeeks or xda on there as well..

didnt work. tried all three and renamed them to just the #_manila.

Tried this method:
turned sense off (unchecked from today items)
replaced my current manila file with the one labeled current.
restarted phone.
still fails launching sense.

so have the facebook ap installed again so sense will run.

Guess will do a hard reset sometime soon to get rid of it.

Thanks for trying.
