How To: Install Facebook For iPad App. Few weeks ago, I talked about the leaked and backdoor to get the Facebook for iPad application. It was blocked by Facebook in less then a day and I couldn’t login to the Facebook for iPad app anymore. However, I have found a solution on how to access it and have been using it for a few days already.

Some have ask me where to download the Facebook For iPad app but then you don’t really need to download it as you already have it if you have the latest version of Facebook for iPhone on your iPad. You just need to do some tweak to change your Facebook to the iPad version.

One thing you must have is a JAILBROKEN iPad. Follow the instruction below to get your Facebook for iPad app. (Thanks to TNW).

1. Check for updates to make sure you have the latest version of Facebook from the App Store. Also, backup your iPad in iTunes.
2. Visit jailbreakme.com from your iPad. Jailbreaking your iPad is legal, but voids your warranty if you bring your iPad into an Apple Store. It’s easy to undo if need be. Just pug your iPad into your computer and restore it from your previous backup. (If you are running iOS 4.3.3, this will NOT work.)
3. Once the jailbreak process is complete, tap on Cydia, that was just installed on your iPad.
4. Tap the Search tab in Cydia and search for iFile. Download it using the button in the upper right hand corner.
5. Once iFile installs, open it up, and navigate to the “var” folder of your iPad. Then go to “mobile,” then “applications,” then “directory.”
6. Click the settings gear icon in the bottom navigation bar and turn “Application Names” to “On.”
7. Open the Facebook folder within the “directory” folder you’re inside of. Once you’re inside the Facebook folder, open Facebook.app.
8. Look for the info.plist file, then open it. Pick “Property List Viewver” to view the hexadecimal settings for the Facebook app.
9. Look for the UIDeviceFamily field and select it.
10. Delete the 1 you see, and put a 2 in instead. Tap “Done” to complete the process.
11. Hold down your power button to reboot your iPad.
12. Then go to Cydia again and seach for Faceforward.
13. Download and install it.
14. Launch your new Facebook app and you are now in.

It’s a little bit buggy, Page is not working as it crashes but overall it looks good. But if were to compare to MyPad, MyPad seems better than this. Tell me what do you think after trying it.

In conjunction with the Google+, Google is starting to change all it’s apps and service interface to a standard minimalist interface new look. The Google Calendar has changed lately and now you can change your Gmail account to the same sleek interface too.

However, this design is still in BETA mode and Google is still collecting user’s feedback to improve to a better interface to serve everyone.

Here’s How:

1. Click on Settings tab on top right corner of the page.

2. Then click on Themes tab.

3. Look for the new Preview theme, just next to Android and you are good to go.

1. First click on Setting.

2. Click on Filters tab.

3. Click on Create a new filter.

4. Type in is:unread at the Has the words: area and click the Next Step button. You’ll get a message warning you that this type of filter won’t be applied to new mail, but that’s OK. Click OK to continue.

5. Check the boxes next to Mark as read and Also apply filter to … conversations below.

6. Click Create Filter button.

You are done now and you must delete the filter once you finish since you won’t need it anymore. Good to go. =)

I think 10 out of 10 among my friends never heard of the social blogging site, Tumblr, after launching my Tumblr site, AWAY FROM COMPUTER, introduced to them, they still can’t really remember the long URL of mine, so I bought a .com domain for it. Another reason is to make me look cool-er. Haha.

It’s Godaddy advertisement everywhere, most likely to see it in video podcast but I still decided to stick with my first domain registrar, Namecheap because of its fast and cheap service. My domains registrar are very spread out, some on Namecheap, some on Godaddy and there’s a few too on Mydomain. New domain on Namecheap is US$8.81 using the coupon for September 2009 (DREAMTIME).

It’s really fast, it took me less then 10 minutes to set everything up and running. Forgot to mention that another good about Namecheap is that it takes Paypal, but I believe a lot of domain registrar now takes Paypal as a form of payment.

Setting up the domain to work with Tumblr

Setting up is kinda easy afterall but I did google for how-to and here’s my how to. Just key in the Tumblr host address as above with record type set to A (Address). Click save.

Then you can test your domain with the Tumblr custom domain test page. As easy as one, two, three.

You can visit my Tumblr site @ www.awayfromcomputer.It’s a site where I share from my mobile device but not the PC.
