Few days back, Facebook had announced a new product called Facebook Home, for Android phones which will serve as the home screen for your phone. Basically, it functions like a launcher and sits on the home screen and is tightly connected to Facebook. Facebook Home provides you with Facebook experience featuring full-screen photos, status updates, and notifications. Facebook Home was expected to releasing on April 12th in US and in other countries later, but now a pre-release build of Facebook Home has been leaked and available for download.

According to information from Modaco, there are three builds which have been leaked and they include the Facebook app (‘katana’), SMS Messenger app (orca) and the Home / Launcher ‘shell’ app (Home).

According to Paul O’Brien, the app works on any Android device with a maximum resolution of 1280×768 and the ability to completely uninstall your existing Facebook app.

The leaked APKs are re-signed and can’t just be installed over the top of an existing installation, so you will need to completely remove existing Facebook app installed on your Android. The build itself is pulled from a pre-release HTC First ROM and seems to be rather buggy and incomplete and the Chat heads feature does not work.

Since this is a pre-release software, there could also be a chance of security risk.

You can head over to Paul’s website to get the APK files.
