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 ?

Yeah, you just untick click "Get Photo" when linking the contact in TF3D
Thanks. I was not even daring to try
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 ?
Firstly i'm new to these forums and the exciting concept of flashing ROMs, so hello! I feel like a giddy child.
I've noticed that WinMo 6.5 (and Android) give you the option to link your contacts to Facebook accounts, unfortunately i discovered that for alot of people i know, when associating Facebook accounts through your address book, profile pictures don't all load up in the look-up. This means they can't always be used as Caller images for your contacts.
Currently i'm accessing this featuring by going into edit contact details and clicking the 'Link, Associate with Facebook account' button at the bottom.
Anybody had the same problem or have a work around? Its a very useful feature and something which i was looking forward to using. Maybe there's a method to link facebook accounts en masse?

Facebook integration depends on which manila you're using. 2.5 vs 2.1 act differently when it comes to facebook. 2.5 lets you sync all the contacts at once but doesn't set the picture as the default profile pic so you have to go back and set it (also, it only sets it in manila not wm). 2.1 doesn't have mass sync but automatically sets the picture as your default profile pic.
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

SocialSync 0.1
Imports (one-way synchonization) your Facebook contacts to your Pocket Outlook.
Supports the following sync mappings:
* Facebook super-sized profile pic --> Outlook Picture
* Facebook Full Name --> Outlook's FileAs, FirstName, MiddleName, LastName
* Facebook Profile URL --> Outlook GovernmentID
* Facebook Relationship Status --> Outlook Spouse
* Facebook Birthday --> Outlook Birthday
* Adds "facebook" to Outlook Categories
* Facebook Status --> Outlook JobTitle
* Facebook Personal Website --> Outlook Website URL (only first one since Outlook only supports 1 URL)
* Facebook Email (image representation) --> Outlook Email
Supported on:
WM2003, WM5, WM6, WM6.5, WM6.5.3
QVGA (240x320) Portrait (want more formats? donate!)
.NET Compact Framework 3.5
To-do:
* Scheduled imports
* Allow skipping importing Facebook Status (saves a http hit)
* Phone numbers! lol. nightmare formatting, some are 004412344.. some are +4412344.. some are 012344.. some are 4412344
DISCLAIMER: This is an unofficial app (lowercase 'a' for app because it's NOT a 'Facebook Application'). It is unofficial because I have not signed a ToS with Facebook. This application is for EDUCATIONAL-USES only. It is recommended you do not use this. Using this MAY breech your User agreement with Facebook, which means your personal account may be suspended, deleted, blocked, or banned. You have been warned.
the welcome screen contains a menu. the menu can launch the email input screen, which is where you manually type the email contained in an image. it can also force a manual sync, once the wizard was completed at least once before.
enter your facebook email and password here. click next to save login details to device.
socialsync will now fetch your friends list, so this takes about 8 http requests per 100 friends.
now you can link facebook friends (on the left) with pocket outlook contacts (on the right).
this is where you can import facebook friends that does not have a corresponding outlook contact already.
your sync profile has been saved and is ready to do an initial sync.
this is the actual sync process. it takes 4 http requests per contact to get their information.

Source code: use Reflector on the .exe - it's not obfuscated or anything
so the diff between this and the sense ability is you can import all facebook contacts that have phone numbers not just ones that are in your phone already?

oops, didn't know that Sense can do this, which version?
but yeah, mine does more then.. it can bring down new facebook friends and create new contacts on phone, but also their email address, date of birth, address, contact pic --> outlook pic, IM addresses, etc
I would love this, but the reason we haven't had this so far is that it violates Facebooks TOS and gets people banned for doing this. Will this not be a problem?

I would love this too and it would be a shame if it did violate the TOS - I can't see how it can? - my Facebook friends update their individual privacy policies to allow me to view the information they wish. As far as I can see that's all the app is fetching?
Please do continue this project if you can, even if Sense does already have this functionality - I don't have sense (the ui!)! Doesn't SPB Mobile Shell do this too?
The way I see it, is this is just a custom User-Agent. If Facebook want to go round "banning" people for using a non-normal browser, then it's not a site I'd like to use.
I imagine people will be syncing once a day or once a week.. I've been syncing like every 5 minutes for a week with no problem using my own account. I'll let you all know if I ever get "banned".
I'll add a disclaimer to first post, but brandall got it on the head; this is all information shared and authorised for by your friends.. this app just saves you having to click each profile by hand and eye to manually update your phone. It's also a bit like any HTTP cache/proxy or FasterFox.
Plus, in theory, how could they ever tell? I haven't done a byte-by-byte comparison, but I do things like Referrer tracking, cookies, random delays.. for all they know it's a scriptlet running in firefox.. and even if they deployed javascript obfuscation, this sync could just run an IE session in a hidden window and use DOM to access the data..
I like this app a lot and look forward to its release.
I also look forward to it. Been looking for something like this for a long time. Any chance it will be wvga as well?
Facebook doesn't allow any application that can access personal details other than Names and Birthdays. Phone numbers, addresses, etc are all off limits. If you account is running any app that access that stuff you can be banned. It's happened many times in the past. Just look up "Facebook sync to Outlook" or a derivitave of that.
If this app has a way around that, then sweet.
Great!
Finally a Facebook Sync! Thank you so much
hello
this is to encourage you more and more to do this genius idea... a really very useful and practical ideal

First version posted to first post!
It's not .cab yet, no idea how to make .cabs..
just unzip to \program files\SocialSync\ or somewhere and run
Thanks! It feels a bit rough on the edges, but does work well!
Is it possible to choose what data to sync? For some friends, I prefer not to have their profile pictures sync'ed.

not yet, can't think how to present per-user selective importing on a 3-inch user interface
what is the most annoying rough-edge? i would like to polish that.
donations welcomed (for my personal efforts on this forum; not specifically this app)
very nice!! although i spent 1 hour linking my facebook account to outlook it is still a nice idea...
few suggestions:
1- option for exporting link information in case i need to redo all that after a room upgrade
2- also like previous comments, the name boxes are small so if i have 3 guys named Mohammad i do not know which one is which...
3- easier search in outlook contacts by allowing to type names instead of searching in a big contacts list
thank you for your effort, you are really achieving something here, although it is only for educactional purposes only
wow, why did it take an hour? i did put randomised delays inbetween requests, but they are quite low (0.1-1.5 secs).
1. to backup partnership database, just back up your outlook/pimstore.. the partnership exists because the GovernmentID field is filled in with a facebook profile url. this is the key to breaking sync relationships with a contact.
the file on device friends.dat is just a cache of friends, it can be lost with no problem.
2. i struggled to find a decent gui toolkit to use for this app. microsoft made an iphone GUI clone but it's too complex to digest (no design-time support, no docs, no support).. but in March we should all see Compact Silverlight Beta, maybe that can help. basically I use a ListBox which doesnt support left/right scrolling. maybe i'll try a ListView if that exists in CF..
3. i could maybe do that. what part of my auto-guess feature doesn't help you properly? on my phone it's a snap to find someone - it jumps to the closest named contact whenever i select a new fb friend on the left..
Hey guys,
Justa few quick questions ...
Is there an application or something that will log all the apps I have downloaded via my account and list them for me, so when I do a backup I knwo what I had before?
Is there an app to list the above AND download the latest versions without me having to manually do anything (Shashimi for Android).
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
I sue S2U2, I like the Android lock screen BUT I like being able to view my texts/emails without unlocking the device, what options do I have?
Lastly, is there an app to automatically backup your text on a weekly basis and email it to your gmail as an archive? I want it to also ignore the previous week's text.
Am I asking too much L.o.L.?

I don't have an Android phone yet ...and won't do until 7/8/9-April... but playing with my wife's Hero this is what I know...
You seem to have to create a level of Google account in orpder to purchase from Android Market and logging into your Google Account and going to Android Market will bring up a list of your previously downloaded apps.
I haven't found a stand alone app for this but purchasing your apps through AppBrain.com and using their AppBrain app seems to do what your asking. AppBrain doesn't seem to list all apps though - definitely missing UK specific apps such as Beebplayer.
I've had WinMo phones for the past 8 years and never heard of a facility to do this - if there is one I'd be chuffed to hear about it myself.
Dunno - someone else will have to answer this one I'm afraid
I believe that most backup apps will do a scheduled backup - Sprite Backup definitely does but to the SD Card only (no automailer), but WRT ignoring previously backed up messages I've not heard of this feature in any backup app.
I hope this helps to some extent.

AppBrain allows you to create lists on their site, so when you change phones or wipe it, you can tell it to reinstall the whole list. I did that when I moved from G1 to Desire -- worked like a charm.
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
You should ask that in TyTN forum

P.S. sorry, I was lazy and did not include links -- google is your friend

THANKS ALL!
Will have a look at this FabianNL as if I can export to individual files then I will be happy. To be honest it isn't a big deal .
Been playing with my Desire for a while, I can see the appeal of Android it's quick, big buttons, keyboard isn't back considering I'm coming from Tytn (as well as a Touch HD but that was BAD).
My next step is ... what programs should I "replace"? I'm refering to applications like mail, text/messages, etc the build in ones.
I am though over the moon with the device the text input ROCKS! I do have a list of applications I need suggestions on though ... I'm used to the following on Windows Phone so I need an Android variation ...
G-Alarm - A Comprehensive alarm application
G-Profile - easily change my profiles from night, work, home, etc, this would be great as a widget
Task Facade - A general task manager that will show all my running applications and let me close/switch
Wake On Text/Email/etc - As it says ... and stay awake until message has been read!
Lock Without using Power button - easy ...
That's about it for now
I use Klaxon for my alarms.
SMS Popup will turn on the screen when you get text messages (not sure if there is similar for emails) and can give reminders untill it's read.
As far as profiles, then would HTC's Scenes not do the trick? Failing this Locale can automagically turn on and off services and silent/loud the ringer based on various criteria like time and location.
You can easily switch to recent apps by pressing and holding the home key
And there are loads of Task Managers on the market for killing running apps
What does sense have for managing profiles?
Hi,
I would like replace my TyTn II to HTC Desire but Im not shure if I will be happy with Desire(Android)...
Main things which wory me are:
1.)Synchronization with PC with USB cable. I DON'T want and will not sync with google account. All I need is same automatic sync line with activesync. I need sync Contacts, Calendar, Emails(Configure which folders), Task's, Notes. Sync will be done with MS Outlook 2007/2010.
2.)Is possible set more than one email account? I need 3x pop3/smtp email accounts.
3.)Is possible disable threaded SMS/MMS? I realy hate this function.
4.)Is there any app which allow connet to windows remote desktop(RDP and not any 3rd party VNC or other)?
5.)Is there some app/pack which can work with word, excel, power point files?
6.)Does included browser support certificates? I know that opera mobile on WinMo do not support it, so I can't manage cPanel server, make payments(bank)...
I think that this is enought for start
Thanks for any help and answers.
Best regards, _Dejan_
