Hacker Modifies Facebook Home To Work On All Android Devices

Posted by Soulskill on from the take-that-social-norms dept.

An anonymous reader writes "That was quick. Mere hours after Facebook Home arrived on Google Play, the launcher has been modified to remove the device-specific limitation. This means you can use the latest Facebook service on any Android device. The brilliant hackers at XDA Developers have done it again. This particular hack was performed by XDA Senior Member theos0o; who provides details and download links."

      You mean if someone blows their own brains out in my country, they are not breaking any laws?

      If I blow my own brains out, you're welcome to stick my corpse in jail. The other inmates, however, might object.

      Whereas if you were to blow your brains out, you would have to aim very carefully. ;-P
