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

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 ?
Hey there,
I just unpacked my T-Mobile USA Vibrant (modified Galaxy S). I love the phone, but as always, there are things that I think are missing. So I played around a little bit with it and one thing kept bothering me.
The phone integrates all my Facebook contacts, which is great. But I think it would be a slick feature if you could actually send them a message directly from the contact list. As of now, I have to go into a browser or use the FB app to send messages and I think it would be a lot more convenient to just go into the contact and send a message from there (like a text basically).
Does anybody now if there is an app or some piece of software that can help me out here? If not, do you even think it is possible to do it? I am not a developer, but I can imagine there are some issues, cause as far as I know Samsung didn't open there UI code for developers yet (or showed any intention of doing it).
So I am excited what you guys think of that and hope there is a solution somewhere out there
Phill
edit: I just saw there is a specific Vibrant forum. If the admins would like to put this post in the right place I would appreciate it. However, I think the issue is omnipresent among all versions of the SGS.
This would be a fantastic mod for contacts I would think I don't know why someone hasn't done this previously. I think if we get the guy doing the standard froyo / eclair dialler / contacts mod to do this it will be extremely innovative.
Contacts -> Groups -> Facebook -> menu -> Send message -> Choose recipient
Wow, long path... Should work though.
hey yea that works. but it is kind of a long way dont you think? Thanks anyway, it got me one step closer What I think would be a tremendous improve is to add the fb msg feature directly to the first contact screen. You know, when you slide left on a contact for texting and right for calling. If there is no number available but a fb contact it should automatically go to the fb messaging.
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?
This is a little off-topic, and I'm sorry if it doesn't belong here, but I am looking for some people to test out a new website I've been working on, and thought I'd look to my fellow Inc2 owners.
When I first got CM7 working on my old Fascinate, I was a little bummed that there was no way to link my Facebook contacts. So I decided to make my own tool. As of right now, it only syncs pictures, no phone numbers or anything.
I've spent a good amount of time working out the bugs, but there is a chance I missed some, so if you encounter any problems please let me know. Don't worry though, it won't mess up your Google contacts at all.
Please note that it currently DOES NOT work in Internet Explorer, due to a bug on Google's end which will hopefully be fixed soon.
http://www.pfrybarger.com/googlefbsync/googlefbsync.html
Thanks!
Edit: Also I should note that this won't work on mobile browsers (can't scroll through certain lists), and you must have javascript enabled in your browser.
What are the benefits over using the Facebook App to sync contacts?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
Let's see, the main benefits are:
- Ability to crop and resize profile pictures
- Pictures are visible outside of just your phone, so in Gmail for instance
- No need to re-link after flashing a new rom (I always found this a pain)
- Pictures will show up everywhere on your phone. I believe if you use the Facebook app to sync, the pictures will not show up for certain apps, like messaging
- No new contacts will be added to your phone
My tool will only sync pictures, and not phone numbers or email addresses. I found it kind of annoying that the Facebook app would pull these in, but I guess that's a matter of personal preference.
As of right now, there is no automatic updating of profile pictures, but I hope to get this implemented soon.

Gave it a go. after running the program, I got an error pop up that submitted an error report. The program still worked though. It found a few of my contacts in Google that weren't matched up with my Facebook contacts.
So if I'm understanding this, now that I have my Facebook contacts linked with my Google contacts, when loading my contacts on my phone now, (after flashing a rom or doing a hard reset) my Google contacts will still have the pictures linked to them without having to go back and doing the Facebook thing all over again?

Yep, as long as you hit the upload button once you were done linking the contacts. Instead of saving the pictures on the phone, like the Facebook app does, this actually saves the pictures to your Google contacts. So when you do a reset, and sign back in to your Google account, your contact picture will be sent to your phone along with all their other information.
You do need to link all of your contacts on the website though. It doesn't recognize which ones you already have linked on your phone.
I saw the bug reports, I'll take a look and try to see what happened. Thanks for giving it a try!
Could you add the feature of ONLY syncing facebook pictures and no contact numbers? The one thing I hate about syncing facebook in my phone is the fact some people have old numbers still on FB so there are two numbers when you go to call or text someone as well as there are unwanted numbers of people.

Could you do me a favor? Sign into the site again, and click on 'Begin'. Once the main page loads, click on the 'Comments/Questions' link at the bottom of the page, check the 'send log' checkbox, type anything in the big box, and hit send?
This will help me diagnose what's going on, and why your contacts aren't showing up. Thanks!

Shoot, my server must be down. I'll take a look at it when I get some time today, sorry about that.
