New Facebook for Android app permissions? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did anyone else notice the new permissions needed by the latest Facebook for Android app (4/22/2012ish update)?
It seems according to the permissions list (see attached screenshot), it will have the ability to access my camera at ANY time! If this is true, that sounds like an incredibly bad idea to allow this! Am I just reading this wrong? Does it really have the ability to use my camera at any time or do I have to be in the app and initiate use of the camera first?

Not sure, but I agree on the bad idea. They should remove that feature.

I think that permission is for the new camera shortcut it places in your app drawer now.

Moved, please post in proper section

Thanks for the replies so far.
Anyone else have any thoughts or Knowles on this topic? I want to update the app, but not if it can use my camera at anytime without my knowledge.
Thanks!

Great

Installation: Install like a normal apk
enjoy! :highfive:
I tried this a week ago. Although its really nice, it doesn't have the options to edit. Unless it was updated recently.
Edit...nvm.. I'm an idiot that doesn't read...lol
Gonna retry it.
My dude, the editor is in the OP. You have to install both apks for the full features
I'll try it out!
Thanks for the share. The gallery is really nice!

? No problems loading over 2,000 pictures on any of my devices. Problem might be on your side bro?
It was quick for me too, no waiting for pics to load up, but it always arranges photos by date as default. Not bad though, and like I said, pretty quick too!
Thanks makoz!
It's probably because I have 14000 pictures in my phone. I'll try taking some off and try again.
Yup, that was the problem. I took my sd card out and it works just fine.
Thanks for the headsup!
Thanks love this!!! Better than stock!

Urgent! Need help, I'm a newbie !!!

Hello everyone. This is my first post here, unfortunately for urgent help.
Lately I've been using two modules from Xposed Int. - Gravity Box and XBlast. They're great, indeed. But some things happen and I don't know how to fix.
The first one:

What's that number? What is it for? I really want to turn it off, but I don't know how :crying::crying::crying:
The second:

That way of fine. We don't know what you did so we can't tell you what to change. Try what you did before step by step. If you have the same issue, revert you last change.

Also bear in mind that GB, is for AOSP roms and doesn't necessarily play nice with other roms.

It puts wallpapers on your Lockscreen depending on your interests like "night sky", "travel" or your own gallery etc. It then downloads and updates new wallpapers every 3 or 6 or 12 etc hours depending on what you set it to.

[APP] Wear screenshot | Take screenshots of your watch! V1.2

Hello everyone, recently I bought my first smartwatch, lg g watch, and the first that I wanted to make is share a screenshot with the watchfaces, android wear OS and how it works, but, although the oficial app of android wear has the capability to do screenshots, I was not able to share it through whatsapp, twiter... So I begin to develop my own app for my watch, and here is.
The app is so easy to use.
STEPS
1 - Go to android wear app, and click on take a screenshot.
2 - Then click on notification and select wear screenshot, the app.
3 - The app will appear and the image will be stored on the phone, then you can see the image, share it where you want and delete it.

If you have any idea of how to improve the app please leave me a comment.
Thanks!
EDIT: The app is now totally free, you can download it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alicantedevelopers.wearscreenshot
Now the app is totally free, the link is on the OP.
Thanks

It's great! Thanks a lot!
Doesn't work on my phone (Samsung S3, CyanogenMod CM 12.1, Android 5.1.1). When I take the wear screenshot and click the notification, your app doesn't appear in the list. About 20 other apps appear, but not yours. Any suggestions?
