FaceForward worked first try for me after several failed attempts with full force

Can't find the faceforward part in Cydia, it isn't on the list.

chemicalsubstance - July 26, 2011 at 9:33am

me neither...

Try searching within cydia use the search feature it's there I promise.

I don't see even when I go to search

Used the other two methods and didn't work for me. Tried FaceForward and it worked like a charm the first time. THANKS!

Why has it taken them so long to compile a release for the iPad? it's the most successful tablet on the market!!

Still buggy. Not ready for prime-time!

Just tested this using the Force method. Worked like a charm. As other people have said intakes around 10 mins to log in but eventually the app asks you all the usual push notification questions and is fine there after......keep trying it does work!

I tried the iFile method and it worked first try! I think the FullForce method is the problem. somehow it's not modifying the info.plist within the app. I dunno, just my insite.

Installed fine with ifile but won't connect, tried 50 times zzzz I guess apple has blocked anything with user interface 2...

Victor - July 25, 2011 at 7:16pm

After I changed info.plist>UIdevicefamily to number 2, i signed on to Facebook(iPhone interface) removed it from multitask and rebooted twice. And when I open Facebook again it required me to sign on again since it's now changed to iPad interface, when I did, it worked first try.

chemicalsubstance - July 25, 2011 at 5:20pm

Worked for me the first time! Before using iFile I started the facebook app, logged in and killed it from the multitaskbar. Maybe that's the trick!

marcus - July 25, 2011 at 5:04pm

Junaid - July 25, 2011 at 4:25pm

Man you should try this before posting it to your website, it giving login fail error, there must be something blocked in it.....fail tutorial

iClarified - July 25, 2011 at 4:30pm

There is no problem with the tutorial. We have logged in many times. If there is any issue its on Facebook's end.

dfb1955 - July 25, 2011 at 4:23pm

facebook must have blocked in. login failed here as well..

Jacky choong - July 25, 2011 at 3:57pm

I managed to get it installed in my Ipad2 but keep shown " log in failed ".

Beezure - July 25, 2011 at 4:06pm

Same Here

Joseph - July 25, 2011 at 4:08pm

Same here. Login Failed.

Drew Jackson - July 25, 2011 at 4:23pm

Same here, tried it multiple times and tried changing my password on facebook, if anyone gets this to work comment and let us know! And how.

iClarified - July 25, 2011 at 4:28pm

This has happened to us as well. It might be overload as it did not happen earlier today. It took about 20 attempts before we got in just moments ago.

Rondadon - July 25, 2011 at 3:34pm

Why do all this work when you could just install FullForce by @rpetrich and it'll enable it for u??

Frank - July 25, 2011 at 3:45pm

Try FullForce. It doesn't work for me. Does it work for you?

Rondadon - July 25, 2011 at 3:51pm

Make sure you go to settings>fullforce and have facebook on

@Frank, you need to reboot. @Rondadon, good suggestion! Implemented :)
