Is it possible to make it into an icon (right now i am using browser) and put it into the background.
Sorry for the stupid questions, I am new to this awesomeness
Bookmark it, and leave a shortcut to the bookmark on the desktop.

Kinda. You can make home screen icons of bookmarks. So first you have to bookmark it, then you can long press the bookmark to place it on the home screen.Achtius said:Thanks.

Depending on which version of Android you're on, the icon might include the little neogaf favicon in the corner
So Android has lost two key people in the last two days (the other guy left to join Facebook...maybe we will get a "real" effort from them on Android:

Facebook and Google need to get their shit together and release a new Facebook Android app from the ground up. The current incarnation is a piece of shit for numerous reasons.
I know there is some bad blood between the two especially Facebook announcing two years ago that Android was vaporware and they weren't going to support it since it was just going to die. Now Android as a mobile OS platform is ahead of iPhone OS :lol

..Any tips?I really liked VillainROM 5.5, it worked very well.Mecha_Infantry said:Umm, no it's not

If you're more experimental and want to enable JIT, you could try SuperVillain from the same guy that does VillainROM. It's donators only at the moment, but should be for all users as soon as he has ironed out the bugs. SuperVillain supports multiple exchange mail accounts which is a big plus IMO.
I've heard that BeHero+ is quite good as well.

Yeah Palm is like 2% and Google must be up to at least 7% by now.

This is definitely one reason I'm glad I got an HTC phone. Exchange support in the native Mail app out of the box. And now with Push in 2.1.gcubed said:

It's not like us iPhone users have much to look forward to either. The guy who made it so awesome left the project and we now are stuck with (what seems to be) some incompetent no-name facebook dev. App hasn't been updated forever, and the last time it was had some nice bugs.

Worst part about the facebook app is that there's no way to look at events (as far as I know) which is the only thing I even use facebook for.

It usually goes to mobile site but I can swear the last time I had a notif it went to the touch site.
If the touch site news feed wasn't such a disaster of only displaying 1 out of 25 updates and mixing in updates from 5 hours ago with an update from 4 minutes ago, and if the photos didn't suck so bad, I'd uninstall the Facebook app. But the Touch website isn't good enough to use on its own.
Argh.
Fucking facebook. Why do I even use it anymore. Bunch of shit. Yet I'm addicted to the bloody notifications and witty status updates and 'Leaving the page open just in case she wants to say hi'...
Fuck facebook.
Okay, wet your lips cause you're gonna have to suck some of my extremities after I tell you this

It's HTC holding it up, as I've a GSM Hero in the UK and it's still waiting for 2.1 too. The operators here have blamed HTC for the hold-up, as the update was supposed to land in February but is due next month now after continuous delays.
I've mine rooted and tried VillainROM 5.5 but I found the battery drained too fast on it for my liking, as it has to use the CDMA version of the ROM.
I'd been contacting HTC about the update and they told me it'd been delayed due to "unforeseen circumstances."
More than likely a business decision to get customers to buy the HTC Desire or the Legend rather than go for the Hero.

I deleted my Facebook account a couple of weeks ago. I lead up to it by a few days of posting my Google and Twitter names in case my "friends" need to contact me.
I'll miss out on some pics and goings on, sure, but I can't continue to support Facebook's horrible view of content rights and the Internet in general. I'm trying to be a little over-active on Twitter and Buzz, posting updates, pictures, etc. to try to attract more of my contacts to those services.

As in photo albums?
The app does it...even has pinch to zoom. I have to be misunderstanding you because when you launch facebook one of the big icons in your face is Photos.
