New Facebook Recycles Paper App By Patricbensen

Facebook Recycles Paper App

Did you ever use Facebook's Paper app? If so, then you might be saddened by the news that Facebook is officially pulling the plug on said app in a month. And if you hadn't, or haven't even heard of the Paper app, then you're probably the reason why it's going away.


The app—a lovely looking standalone news reader—was an ambitious move by the company to get people more hooked into published content. And by content, we mean that the app allowed users to prioritize news articles and feature stories, not just status updates from friends. Though the app had some novel UI elements, it failed to generate enough traction for Facebook to really put much of an investment into it beyond its initial release on the iPhone.

    Yes the tweak is mostly for android users, but PC users are not very comfortable and are seeking for ways in which the tweak can be extended to desktop users.

This Google Play Services error seems to affect only Custom ROMs on rooted Android smartphones. There is a very simple way to fix it. Here are the solution for with this “Unknown” Google Play Services error on Android phones and tablets running Cyanogenmod and other custom ROMS:
