Remove black background when viewing Facebook photos

April 6th, 2011 1,109 Views No comments

The new black background popup feature in Facebook when viewing photos is kinda dump to me, so I guess it has to go. There are few methods to remove it with little steps in your browser.

Method 1:

  1. View your Facebook Photos
  2. Notice at the end of your browser URL, there is &theater
  3. Just delete &theater and hit Enter

Method 2:

  1. Using Firefox, install Add-ons Greasemonkey
  2. Open up this link and install the scripts for Greasemonkey
  3. Restart your Firefox

Enjoys your old Facebook style…

Facebook iPhone App on iPad (Unpixelated version)

May 5th, 2010 4,071 Views No comments

Have you tried Facebook iPhone app with 2x resolution on iPad? It does look ugly and pixelated on the iPad right? OK. I have got some cool tweak you could fix that problem. Here is you what need on your iPad (version OS 3.2):

  • Jailbreak your iPad with Spirit.
  • Cydia app: iFile
  • An installed Facebook iPhone app from Apps Store

Here is step by step:

- Step 1: Open and run Cydia on iPad.
- Step 2: Tap “Search” in Cydia and type in “iFile“, then install it.
- Step 3: Now, close Cydia app.
- Step 4: Open iFile app you just installed on your iPad screen.
- Step 5: Navigate to /var/mobile/Applications
- Step 6: Look for 5AD431ED-809C…3C5A6F20EA62 (Facebook directory)
- Step 7: Navigate to Facebook.app folder and scroll down.
- Step 8: Touch and open Info.plist file.
- Step 9: Find the first <dict> and add these lines below:

<key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
<array>
<integer>1</integer>
<integer>2</integer>
</array>

- Step 10: Done and Save it.
- Step 11: Restart your iPad…
- Step 12: Open Facebook on your iPad now. Wooolaa…… Enjoys.

UPDATE: There is a new method you can do this easily by installing FullForce in Cydia. Open Settings and you will see FullForce settings and enable “ON” for Facebook app. This Cydia app can also enable 2x resolution for any others as well. It’s pretty neat huh? You should install it if you are using a lot iPhone apps on your iPad.

Disclaimer: This little tweak is for personal testing purpose only and I am not responsible for any kind of loss data or damage your iPad. I hope you’d know what you doing, please do at your own risk.
