UPDATE: If your using any of the new roms and are having a problem with the my profile page then use the file ive attached on the second page that should sort out the last part of the puzzle,..
DONT USE THESE FILES WITH ANY OF THE NEW ROMS FLOATiNG ABOUT
most new roms have most of the facebook problems sorted now, this was initially for people with the early versions of the new rhodium port,----
If you're creating your own rom you may still find some of these files useful so ill leave them here and when i finally sorted the my profile page ill upload all changes.
-----------------
Fb-RhodiumInt V01.zip
ok this is experimental and i take no responsibility for you having to hard reset your phone,
the facebook option has always been in the rhodium manila it was just left disabled so with a few edits to the manilla.xml file, it will then display the updates page in the all people tab.
there is a few missing manila files (that help with login etc) from quite alot of the rhodium roms/oems so now its just a case of finding them all,
i havent gone through all the differnt roms but im sure files needed will differ from person to person so hopefully if everyone intrested in this helps out we can find them all. i started from the rhodium oem package and added the files in the uploaded , so far i can see updates page, log in to facebook started to try and get updates but i dont think this is 100% and also the link to fb profile for your contacts isnt working.
So Basically
Working--
visible updates page in all contacts
Logs In to FB
NOT Working--
Link own Profile - not 100%
link friend profile
Don't know if you've got this working allready, but just in case
With Dutty's HD V2.2 Xtreme I think I got it all working (I think) with som reg edits! Manila even suggested to me wich friends I had in my phonebook that I also had on facebook, and linked them. I could upload birthdays and contact photos. Even status updates are displayed in my contact list.. To the people that manila didn't match between facebook and my phonebook, I could link to whatever facebook profile I liked.
well, could you please post the edits you made in the registry?
Have you had any problems with the facebook integration?
Thanks
im not sure if this works with davide's v3 im still looking into all roms, thanks for getting involved, if you can post the changes im sure it will help us get this fully done
I'm not 100% sure if this is everything I did, but I think so (I was just playing around).
In HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila I changed:
- Facebook.disable to 0
- Manila://people.page.hidden to 0
- Manila://people\browserlayer\peopleupdate.page.hidden to 0
- Manila://Peopledetail\peopleView.page.hidden to 0
I'm not sure how the facebook integration is supposed to work, so I don't know if something isn't working..
But all the things I wrote in my previous post works.
Remember I'm using Dutty's HD V2.2 XTREME
Oh, and btw, I get the link to my own profile also..
If i edit The facebookSDK in HKLM\Software\HTC to that I have a new message in my inbox, I can see this in the people update page, but that I didn't get to work if I actually had a message in my inbox.
Thanks to your tips, I managed to get the Updates page back into Dutty's Extreme 2.3, but when I try to login, the text box is 1 character shorter than my email address. All I can enter is <email>@gmail.co
Gutted! So close!
[UPDATE] Tried signing in with a shorter email address, but Manilla simply crashes and restarts
[UPDATE2] Having checked the FacebookSDK in HKLM\Software\HTC, it seems it did actually sign me in (status, birthday etc are all there), but it still crashes when I try to go to the Updates page

Same problem here.
It crashes.
I'm using V2.2, it works for me..
I'm actually on Dutty's Xtreme v2.3 and i can confirm that Facebook integration works 100% with his ROM...the only thing is that it links to the mobile version of facebook with TF3D in Opera...
Anyway, congrat's on your find and hope you get things sorted out with the integration to work 100%...
guys - only the MSVC version of Duttys 2.3 has the facebook fixes
I think the ones saying that the facebook page crashes are indeed using Dutty's 2.3. I say this because I am one of them. Logging into the facebook via TF3D crashes it, but the login data is maintained, so I can link the various contacts. The only page which consistently crashes TF3D is the main facebook one (IE the one not tied to any contact).
Considering this issue happens even after a reflash and a hard reset I am thinking it has something to do with the facebook profile itself, as the Touch HD regional settings clearly don't affect it (I tried it with my local settings, UK settings and US settings).

EDIT
nvm, just read his changelog
The integration works on the mvsc verion of duttys 2.3 but still has the problem of the long email address.
I have tried using a shorter email address and it works perfectly
Any update on this

duttys 2.3 doesnt 100% work for me either, most of it works apart from the my profile link with reboots tf3d, its the same place i am now with all the work ive been doin on my own rom, the only rom i have seen the my profile page work in is davide V2 topaz rom, ill have another look at duttys rom again because you people have made me doubt myself. i kinda given up hope on 100% working but im sure ill get it done, so far tho my volume down key is no more. lol

Same here, I can link contacts to FB friends, but my on updates causes Manilla to crash.
I'm starting to get really upset. :'(
I have to say this is very good news! Since I'm on old Dutty 1.9 ROM I won't test this just yet, but it definitively looks like a step in the right direction.
Facebook integration was the only big feature missing from these new ROM's. I hope other programmers will join so we can finally get this working 100%.
if anyone is out there with the my profile issue still i used this file from the latest rhodium dump and all is now working 100%

I was using SPB Mobile Shell 3 on my last phone, and loved the ability to grab contact photos for my friends from Facebook. Is there any way of doing this with the TP2? If not, is there any way of using that part of SPB Mobile Shell functionality without losing TouchFlo?
TF3D gives you the ability of creating a favourite contacts list and allows you to connect to facebook for photos, it also gives mini updates and birthday information which is pretty handy.
I tried this one unsuccessfully. It listed my Facebook friends, etc. but when I tried to grab the photo, it just had the default picture with a Facebook icon on it
Works great here! Dutch version.

Yes, it does only use the Default photo. Try a program called BookSync, think this gives you more options but the developer is really good, so will adapt the program to suit needs most of the time.
i find the facebook integration on tflo3d excellent, would be nice to be able to set a different update option (its every 2 hours and i cant see a way of changing that) but the way it pulls photo and a little bit of info is great and works really well.
which facebook app are people using?
I'm using standard TF3D interface, working well
I'm using v1.0.0.7 of the "official" facebook app (i.e. the downloadable app from facebook.com). It's supposed to integrate with the WM phonebook but I can't find any menu options for that (e.g. to download photos, personal details, etc). Has anyone else managed to work out WM contact integration with this app??
the built in application didn't work for pictures, but I got tip for a SkyBook as per here http://www.magnifoca.com/download_skybook.html and it worked .. so now I got finally all the pictures updated
My problem with BookSync is that it requires .net 3.5.
Why??? It can't possibly need that.
Well it's strange, on most of my contacts the integrated app works fine. But for some contacs which 100% have a pictre, it just doesn't fetch it. The contact is linked, but the photo just not shown. Anyone has the same problem? or even better a solution?

Usually happens when you're too quick at linking the contact then leaving that contact and going to the next screen. Go back into the contact andclick on updates. Then click the menu on the right and click on the "Get Photo" again and stay in that page, it should bring it down.
Anyway to avoid having TF3D erase my original picture from teh profile with the facebook one ?

Ok Guys , here is an important question
I have about 177 friends that are on my TP2 phone book and also on my facebook.
It's a pain in the back to link each persons profiles to the phone book of the TP2.
Imagine you hard reset TP2 , you must do all this linking one by one again and again.....
Is there a way to Copy to facebook links to each dedicated peson. I would like to copy this file and overright the new file after a hard reset or phone change.
For example I also have a Touch HD with Rhodium Rom on it, when I moved all my contacts fom HD to touch Pro 2 , the facebook links did not transfer so I had to re-link this 177 persons one by one.
There are some facebook files, I copied some of them, overwrote the existing files but it didn't work.
I'm 100 % sure when there is a new ROM for the TP2 all of you will be looking for the same answer, let's find a solution for this now before it's too late )))

+1 to this suggestion.
However, if you sync it with your PC, shouldn't you be able to re-sync everything, including FB links? No?
Alternatively, there is a program I found called PIMBackup (google it! XD) that might do the trick of saving your contacts and their FB links in the event of a hard reset, but I honestly don't know, since I haven't hard reset my device as of yet.
I've been there , I ve done that
Outlook Synch or PIM BACKUP or Sprite Backup - NOTHING HELPS !!!!
All Facebook links to your contacts are disappeared............ when you hard reset your phone, image upgrading to other HTC Touch phone, same story, everything is gone.... You must re link all your facebook contacts to your TP2 contacts.
It's same with Diamond 2 and guys who use HD with Rhodium/Diamond Roms.
We need a solution for this !!!!!!!
Any body got an idea for this problem ???
We'll loose all facebook links to our contacts after a hard reset !!! How to backup and restore them ?
Hi All
I have installed the new Facebook application from the Microsoft Website and when I run the app, it allows me to place my username and password, but then crashes and make my phone slow. (To resolve the issue I have to switch off and switch the phone back on)
I did have the Facebook-Ather version and this work fine, but the new full version (Facebook_v1.0.0.7p) doesn't
Has anyone else had this issue and is there any known fix’s?
Thanks
I didnt have this problem, but after i installed mine, i didnt really like it.
So i uninstalled it, and im now using the Fim programme now, which allows
you to use the instant messenger and look at your web page at the same time. Its so much better. Hope this helps.
Id say try this app.

Just yesterday I found that you can not add new friends using the facebook application by searching their name or email address.
the 1.007 microsoft facebook suck biiiiiig time.
Mostly with me it just says "fetching" for every tab and never gets the job done. And it doesn't update the stuff.
So I use opera on my HD for that stuff, fast - but many things are missing on the mobile version, like foto upload.
When you go to All contacts on your phone and check there the updates - once you have given your userid and pwd - it seems to find the known contacts quite well.
abe
i have one answer: use Iris browser. not only i am enjoying the full functionality of facebook but i can even play mafia wars ...
i don't understand the obsession with Opera. yes, our HTC devices come with Opera built in but after 5 minutes with Iris...i forget Opera.
with Iris you can enjoy facebook even in iphone style. just try on Iris:http://iphone.facebook.com
Thanks, I have traid this and it seem to work well.
Iv spent the last few days reading up on several roms & searching through the replies to them hoping to find one that consistantly allows facebook integration. By facebook integration im talking about matching contacts on your phone to their profile pictures online etc.
Iv googled it aswell & apparently it does work on the standard ROMs, which makes me wonder why it isnt implemented on many of the latest custom ROMs?
Don't spose anyone could shed any light on this could they?
thanks guys
Surely someone has a custom ROM with Facebook integration working?
EnergyROM works (kinda). It will find people with facebook profiles and update their pictures. If you go to events though, it only shows some of my friends status updates. But if I go to the individual contact and hit "update", it will then update their status.....
Hmmm...its one of the energy ROMs im using atm (leo) and iv manually linked (i thought it did it automatically - or do you still have to do it manually?) it to a profile(gf's) and its brought up her birthday & last status but no display pic. This is after several attempts to update it.
Is there a trick to getting it to work?
thanks
If you have a pic already set for a contact, delete it. Delete the link to facebook. Then relink your contact to facebook and make sure the box "save photo" is checked. This should load the facebook pic.

I've tried this on a few roms and it still doesn't grab the photo. I wasn't actually aware that it was an issue with custom roms solely but come to think of it, it worked "ok" with the original rom and i'm lucky to have saved a few pictures from the little time I used it.
Im currently using athineOS and i've tried everything I could think of and it still won't work. The only luck I do have is if I open up the link contact option and leave the list open it starts downloading all the pictures when you hit refresh. Unfortunately it stops after about 40 or so friends and if you scroll further down the list you get nothing.
Hopefully someone will have some luck soon.
i'm having the problem where i can't even connect to facebook at all.
are any of y'all having this problem as well?
At least im not the only one then, it does seem 2 be an issue with the custom ROMs, both of the ENERGYroms cant do it aswell.
Hopefully with a few more voices the chefs might implement it in the future. All iv managed to get it to do so far is bring up my gfs birthday.
So far iv managed to get the contacts to appear in the contact/facebook panel. So it lists the contacts and the Facebook profiles appear there, however thats as far as it goes. The phone wont link them to the actually contacts lists in the phone panel, or your favourite panel!
Using the energy Leo ROM atm. Any advice on getting it to work would be greatly appreciated!
each contact in manilla's contact manager you have to manual link each account "associate with facebook" and it downloads there picture etc
we need a program that can just link all these for you with out going in each one is there anything around ??
Funny... did a quite similar request 23 mins before ^^
how does manilla associate contacts with facebook? where is it stored?
think it depend on which phone/rom you have as i have diamond 2 and dont have that prob.
i use energy 2.5 rom and it does that on my touch pro *fuze* which am happy about because about half my contacts are on my face book, lol
How can I get back to my original contact photo after integrating it with Facebook? I don't want Facebook's avatars.
It's stored in the contact notes. I'm not sure what version of manila you're using but in 2.5, go into the contact, then edit details, click on the picture and you can choose where it grabs it from.
I'm curious about this as well. a friend of my recently changed their phone number and they updated it on facebook, I found it that way... Curious if there was a way to bring more then just what it's gathering now. Sense 2.5 seems to bring in the photo, birthday, status, and album info. If it was just looking at fields in facebook it would just need to know to look at additional fields...

I found that after linking 1 contact I went through the buttons on the bottom. The contact button with the clock had the choice to link all with Facebook.
i go to 2nd contact tab. then click all people. then go to 4th tab. wait for a while. at the top part there.. it shud be showing 15 contact matched. and u can link all them at there.
but then, due to different last name / first name assign on ur phone n their facebook account, probably hardly got more than 20 facebook contact able to linked. i got myself 29 contacts only linked with my winmo by default match.
the rest i did it manually link n sync.
it remember ur link for latest manila 2.5 1921 version though. it saved the link and then u no nid to link another time even u flash / hardreset ur phone.
but for my xperia, rom isnt stable yet. sometimes it download contact display photo n sometimes it dun. but touch pro TAEL rom works great. it auto pull all the display photo for me.
once again, on 4th tab of 'HTC contact' application. u can see all facebook update.
in my HTC HD2 i have to update each contact photo and is very long to do....is there a way to update all contacts using a process like "bulk import" ?
thanks

thanks in advance
What is it? Originally this was a direct extract of the Email.apk from Nexus One 2.3.4; but the most recent update uses a bug-fixed version extracted from CM7. Primarily because the text prediction bar works in this Email app; while it seems to be missing from all the SGS Gingerbread Email.apks.
Update November 3: I have been using CM7 and don't see myself switching back... CM rocks!!
Update June 6: New version extracted from CM7 nightly that appears to really fix the problem where Exchange email accounts stop syncing, requiring a reboot of the phone. I've been using this build 4 days without sync problem. Relevant threads HERE and HERE
As far as I know this will only work on a Gingerbread ROM. Install via CWM. The installer will attempt to ERASE your emails and email account settings from your phone. This keeps the system from getting all goofed up due to database incompatibilities between Email.apks (Thanks nitr8 and styxx!)
I tested this under Juwe's ROM v4.2 and under Darkys 10.1 against my office Exchange server. It seems to work great.
I am not a developer by any means. What I've posted here is something hacked together out of nothing more than dumb luck. (Really, all I did was extract the APK from the CM7 nightly and modify the menu xml files to link to APK internal PNG images rather than linking to the phone framework PNGs. No actual program code changes were made by me.) If it bricks your phone and your hair falls out... sorry, but don't come crying to me. You have been warned! If this app doesn't work for you, please post anyway so I can laugh at you... Errr... I mean, so I can try to help you.
May 8th update: Some of the menu icons were not showing up properly. Spent some time with APK Manager and figured out how to add in the missing icons.
looks fun
ive tried this and it looks good and works well. The major issue for me as with all the older email apps is there is no "Move to folder" option..... which absolutely drives me nuts. I had it until I tried using the TAB email app, then tried going back but keep getting this same apk and am missing this option. Its a real pain!
Funny, I didn't even notice the "Move to Folder" option was absent!
For me the text prediction was a huge issue, and it was really my only motivator for trying it out. I'm very happy with how quick and responsive this app is. With the stock app I would get lag at different times, especially noticeable when deleting multiple messages. This Nexus version seems to delete them instantly. I also really like having the check-mark boxes present on the message list.
I haven't tried the TAB email app, are you saying the move-to-folder option is missing from the TAB version as well? Have you tried the SGSII Email app from this thread?
good plan
the option was there in the tab email app and also in the newer one of the galaxy but I cant find the apk for that! that'll teach me to back them up! I'll have a look at that thread anyway and see where it leads. Thanks for your work and your assistance.
post a couple of screenshots please: ) otherwise thanks!

THANK YOU. Samsung email client is sub-optimal. I feel like I can breath again. No more staring at the screen waiting to read an email.
Thanks for sharing !
Anyway, Landscape mode (as with Samsumg one) doesn't work with this Email.apk ... So I'll stay with my K9-mail app.

It doesn't look significantly different. There are check boxes along the left edge of the message list view so you can quickly select multiple messages for deletion, otherwise it looks pretty much the same. The big difference is in how much more responsive it is over the Samsung client, and the fact that the keyboard text prediction bar works when using this email client.

There was a misunderstanding : Samsung app has a different landscape mode.
quick noob question. do i have to wipe anything before flashing this? I'm guessing no but want to be sure.
You need to flash the ZIP via from ClockworkManager, and it will attempt to wipe your email accounts to prevent force close issues due to email database differences between the Email.apk versions.

Thanks for posting this! I was killing myself trying to figure out why autocorrection and word prediction wasn't working on my gb rom. I installed it on my captivate running a gb rom (Serendipity VII). It works very nicely for me.
New version _actually_ seems to fix Exchange sync problem.
Thanks for the update. I had trouble getting it to connect over a good 3g signal, but it did so when I enabled wireless for the first sync. I hadn't noticed the synching problem but might not have used it long enough to see the problem. All seems to be working. This app is much nicer than the stock samsung email client in virtually every way. It is much more polished and easier to use. It would be nice if it didn't clear settings when updating over itself, but that is not a big deal.
It's a bit confusing in this thread, but I take it that this apk also lacks Move To Folder? That's a seriously useful feature and it might drive me back to stock on my Incredible just to get it back. Then, of course, I lost the ability to create private appointments in the calendar! Whee. Have you found a version yet that has this feature?
