Facebook 1.6 + WIFI using Aerize WIFIX

Most of the black berry owners are facing this dilemma of "I really like the BB with all of it's software, but I hate to be obliged to pay for using my phone monthly". Most of us hate to be obliged to do something that we really don't wanna do, such as paying for a blackberry plan to use the facebook app for instance.

This small guide/checklist/whatever will guide you through the neccessary steps to install and run facebook app version 1.6.0.22 on your BB on WIFI.

First, we'll need to check that we satisfied the following points:   
  • make sure that you have the version 1.6.0.22
  • make sure that the WIFI is disabled
  • note: if you have Aerize wifix , make sure that it's disabled
  • make sure that you have a well-configured APN
  • make sure that your facebook account is using http not https
  • make sure that you are logged out from facebook from all sites with except of your mobile
Ok, great, now install facebook 1.6.0.22, and log in for the first time, make sure that you have enough airtime/credit in your plan cuz it uses the APN to log in not the WIFI.

Leave the account logged in, open Aerize and press on new
Now, press on "add host" and add the following hosts:
  • api.facebook.com (when the Facebook home page)
  • profile.ak.fbcdn.net (used when the friend's profile)
  • Photo-a.ak.fbcdn.net (used when viewing photos)
  • photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net
  • photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net
  • photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net
  • photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net
  • photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net
  • photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net
  • photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net
  • photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net
  • sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net (to put this host gives me no error in the photos and the excellent load)
  • static.ak.fbcdn.net
  • external.ak.fbcdn.net
  • creative.ak.fbcdn.net
  • apps.facebook.com
  • static.ak.connect.facebook.com
  • platform.ak.fbcdn.net
Great, now try to use the facebook through WIFI.

That's it for today, in case you don't have Facebook 1.6, you can get it OTA from http://arthurtooy.com/download/bb/apps/fb16/022os5/fb16022os5.jad 

There is also another guide, in Vietnamese that explains how to install 1.7, but I could apply the method mentioned, you are very welcome to try and feed me back, here is the LINK translated with Google translate.
