Hey guys, finally tried Cyanogen and WOW. Been up all day and night playing around with it but haven't found any way to sync Facebook contacts like the HTC Sense Facebook app. Damn, HTC really pulled that app off well.
I realize that I can try another custom ROM but this seems to be the bees knees. Any help for this Cyanogen newb would be greatly appreciated. Happy holidays!
Facebook for Android can sync all your friends to contacts or only sync existing contacts.

Hm.. I'll tinker around with it a bit more. It's not updating the contact pictures immediately. Dialer is a little lack luster compared to the Sense one but I'll be content if I can get the contact pictures to update without much fuss.
Thank you!

it really doesnt do a good job tho. you have to have your contacts saved as their exact name on fb - which can be annoying. Plus, sense gets hi res pics as opposed to blurry fb app pics.
i used to have an app by which you could manually sync your contacts to fb - but i dont have it any more and cant remember the name
anyone know the app?

There were a couple that I recall..... but I don't recall the names either lol. I used them on my Xperia X10.
It seems that Sense has put "Notes" in all the contacts and binds them to the respected Facebook profiles, even if you manually link it to another account. My wife has an English and a Vietnamese name for instance. And it's a nuisance when an old broken image of her from my SD card pops up. HTC Sense was fantastic for this.
Maybe someone will be willing to port it over. I have some ****ty coding skills and was looking into doing a few Android apps. Maybe I could figure something out but I doubt it.
*** EDIT ***
Nevermind... turns out the Sense Dialer is heavily tied into the Sense framework. Looks like I may need to look at another customer firmware. I never knew how attached to the Social phonebooks and other Social aspects of my Android phones.

It's important to be sure that the choosen chat solution can be embedded as a chat box (shoutbox).
Anyway, try Chatwee. Here is an article which should put some light on the must-have features:
blog.chatwee.com/2015/05/chat-room-for-live-streaming-sites when organizing live events.
I hope this helps!
Hi guys! Well I found something good on my own. Tried over 20 of them on the way.
After I tested like 20 of them I realized that none is as good as Rumbletalk is.
Why I like Rumbletalk? I can upload youtube videos, charts, works nice on phones, it is not a resourse hog and it is a safe application unlike many others chat application out there. You can also manage the design just as much as you want.
It really is the best html chat room application as I heard many times on the internet.
Well thanks for sharing but I wasn't satisfied with them at all. On the other hand Rumbletalk works really well. If any of you need help with instaling it or any other question about it you are free to send me a PM.
