It seems the incompatibility came only on the current version. You may install and use an older version or wait till it becomes available to your device.
In this thread there is a link to an older apk version that should work.

This answer is certainly not eligible for the bounty, but I'm afraid the answer is: it's not possible.
Even though I can't share resources that do tell us that it's not possible, I can share resources you'd expect to have the answer, but don't:
This Google-fu leads mostly to development threads
Again, with "-developer" added things don't improve much

On Contacts tab of stock contacts app, hit Options button. Then, choose more ~> Display Options.
On this screen, un-check Only contacts with phone numbers. Then, check all accounts whose contacts you want to delete (like Facebook, all Gmail groups). And, un-check all accounts whose contacts you don't want to delete (like Phone, SIM). Tap Save button after ...

That feature was removed in the 4.x versions of Android. I use UberSync for my contact syncing and it works great. Haven't had any problems with it and it also has a setting to import high res contact photos. I would recommend that. Set it up once and forget about it.

For those with Sense, you also can add the link manually (I find that Sense doesn't always add the notes tag to Google Contacts automatically). You can get the facebook "id" by going to graph.facebook.com/username instead of www.facebook.com/username (ie: after you click on a friend on the Facebook webpage, replace "www" with "graph"). Then just paste into ...

Download Facebook Contact Sync. I had this same problem and found this tool. Its not foolproof as the name in your contacts has to pretty much exactly match what they have in FB as their name. So people using weird names so they can't be found will not allow them to sync. Otherwise it works well.

I'm afraid that the native Facebook app is very limited in functionality. While it has improved (quite a bit) from its initial launch, there are still a lot of things you can't do in the app.
You may be able to do what you need from the mobile-optimized website (http://m.facebook.com) but most likely you're going to need to hop over to your desktop and use ...

Well, there's many possible causes for this. Some that spring to mind immediately are:
Someone set up the Facebook app on the phone sometime in the past and then forget they'd done so; after the system update, it either became obvious or the app was "helpfully" reactivated after being deactivated (the most likely, IMO).
Someone linked the Facebook & ...

These apps read your location for post location tagging, and there no apps that I no of that do not have the location permissions. There are some workarounds however:
Mobile Site
You could use http://m.facebook.com, which would only be able to gather IP based location, unless you allow it to access your location via the browser (this is easily denied, and ...

AFAIK PDroid is the best solution. (Except you need to be rooted) You could even set a custom GPS location per app.
Permission Explorer is a good alternative.

No, they are run completely separate and exclusive from each other, not something that'll completely replace the data within your existing contacts... Although they can be merged so that it displays one contact instead of two (again, it still won't physically combine the data). That way, you can have their profile pic as a contact icon and even their ...

A free app called Notification Shortcuts gives you the ability to set up a permanent notification that will open an app you specify when you select the notification.
You can set up multiple shortcuts and can even set up toggles for wifi, bluetooth, etc, if you want.
The downside to this is that when you receive a message, you'll have a second notification ...

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'marked as spam' since I can't see this option in either the Facebook app or the Facebook Messenger app. I'm assuming you mean you turned off notifications for her messages since you mention you want to get them back. I'll explain how to turn them back on.

The problem is that Facebook wants to be smart and recommend posts for you.
If you just want the most recent posts you can press the button top left of the app (some stripes on top of each other), this will open the menu for you. To the right of the 'News Feed' button, there is a gear wheel button, click on it and choose 'Most Recent'.
PS: could be that ...

That is somewhat prevalent glitch in the updated Facebook.
Have discovered earlier, the "somewhat" temperamental cure is this:
Try logging out and log back in again to clear the cached data.
And also try get in touch via Google Play Store and there should be a button/linky to email the developers directly about the issue.

imo has a direct download link on their Android webpage. There also seem to be quite a few other apps to try: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=facebook+chat&c=apps

It shouldn't matter whether you're looking at it in the Android browser or the Facebook application as either way on someone's timeline at the top there's a Photos link with the latest picture of them as the thumbnail for it. Clicking on this will take you their photos.
The person's albums will be displayed at the top of the photos page and the photos of ...

One solution would in fact be using a specialized photo app: Fotor for Android. Next to a bunch of features for taking and editing photos, the app description mentions:
Using Fotor you can easily share your amazing photos with friends and family! Share photos via email, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr, with just one touch.
Which is exactly what you asked ...

All these events I haven't responded to / don't want to attend are
driving me crazy!
If you only want to see events you have answered "Attending" or "Maybe attending" then you could try "Freedom", a service that I developed.

I had done a bit of a research on this.
There was a trick until a few months back, by linking the Facebook account to Yahoo account so that the contacts get merged. Later it was possible to export the contact details from Yahoo.
But now even this method doesn't seem to work, as exporting the contacts will only export Yahoo contacts and not the one merged ...

As far as i'm aware, you can't actually sync the birthdays to your contacts. It is however possible to sync your Facebook Events (including birthdays) to your Android calendar. All you need to do is add your Facebook Calendar to your Google Calendar. You can find out how to do this here
