Perform actions in 1st post of this thread. Works like a charm! (Thanks btong1978! ;.) )

Only thing now, though, I can't figure out why web links that I click on in email messages don't open using Opera Mobile...still opens using Iexplorer Can anyone help??? Thanks!
PS - I love that btong1978's fixes allows EVERYTHING in the "Internet" TouchFlo tab to open using Opera...sweeeet ;.)
Oh - Also read through this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550647&highlight=opera+mobile+default+web+browser], Contentryder. Seems to have some Cabs that may fix your issue (I say "may" b/c I've not tried it myself, but it all makes sense and seems to have put all of btong1978's fixes into a Cab file that takes care of everything for you w/o you having to get your hands dirty w/ reg edits ;.)
Happy tweaking!

If your rooted just reflash the ROM if you deleted it

What do you mean get it back? Where did it go?

I think I have the same problem as the OP.
I run BuglessBeast V0.3 (great ROM btw!), and then also ran his Sprint Bloatware Removal tool, and I think it may have removed Facebook for HTC Sense, because now I can't sync my contacts up to Facebook. I can't seem to do it with the regular Facebook app (I can't add an account under Accounts & Sync).
I'm assuming the Sense version of Facebook must have been removed. I personally enjoyed the syncing of my contact list. Is there any way to load it back in? Can I somehow download the file somewhere and put it back in so that I'm able to sync again? I really wish the standard Facebook for Android app let you sync your contacts :/

Only thing I dont like bout rooting..

The ONLY thing I dont like about rooting is
I dont get the Stock HTC Facebook app that you can sync your contacts with their facebook pictures.
All the other Fbook apps on the market suck. Can anyone port it, make an app similar to that one, or anything?

I know you like 2.3... but if you are willing to use Froyo migueltherocker's GratiousSlide has the same facebook syncing with contacts.. and I was happy with it till my A.D.D lead me to the next 5 ROMs

Lol actually I opened the market and found an app that I can sync my contacts to pictures on fbook, just sort of like the stock contacts app.
The app is a replacement for your contacts but w/e. Ill just use that to sync all my contacts, and assign as main contact app the one with cyanogen
TA-DA!

I wouldn't mind checking that out, what is the program called?

It seems like it's been so long since I had stock. What am I missing here? The official Facebook app syncs its contacts with my own on the phone and imports pictures. The only thing I don't see is the link/unlink that sense has.

The stock Sense overlay, if I remember, by default synced all contacts photos linked to a FB account with their FB profile pic, and even gave you the option of which photo to sync with (FB/Google/manually set).
With vanilla, the FB app will sync contacts, but I am noticing that your Google account image will be the default image, and I do not see a way to make it switch to the FB picture.

You guys should download
"Contapp"
its really good, does the same thing as the original froyo app... its a contact replacement.. just dont set it as default and your done
Wohoo!
Now, is there anyway to make the caller ID pictures bigger?

CM7 background &or Facebook

So, I just started using CM7 and I can't figure out why my background won't change.
I head into the gallery, find the picture I want, set it as my background. When all is said and done, I head back to my homescreen and I get grass (which was not what I had selected). I don't know what's up with that.
I use Zeam launcher, and coming from Skyraider Athena I don't have that problem.
Also, facebook related question:
I know that through Sense I could connect my FB account to my contacts and get contact pictures there. Is there a way to do this without Sense?
these are my only qualms with a vanilla build.

I had the same issue with mine after I ran a titanium backup to restore my apps, it had a pic as my ground image, when I went to change it to something else, the pic was still on the homescreen. there were some other issues I didnt want to deal with, such as not all of my apps transferred over and google auto send them to the phone, so i went back to skyraider 3.5

I dont know why your background img wont change but i can help you out with the facebook.
if you download facebook for android and go to options you will see a sync contacts with facebook. just tell it to sync all. if the pictures still dont show up. you can download an app called "syncmypix" from the market and this will do it for you. (as long as facebook is linked to the right contact.)

Facebook for android syncs for you

Somehow this got fixed! I reinstalled the rom a few times (after a failed installation due to bootlooping) and now it works!
I've gotten my facebook contacts synced (via fb and syncmypix, because a bunch of my fb friends aren't using their real names (those jerks!)).

sync facebook birthdays calendar

I know this is simple, I've done it before, but now I've swapped from LeeDroid to CM7 ROM the calendar is different and I can't find how to sync my facebook birthdays to the calendar.
Anyone care to give me a reminder? Please.

Sync using google calender
1. In Facebook , go to upcoming birthday tab , and click on export birthdays -> provides you with a link
2. Go to google calender and add by URL
paste the URL u got and import
Ta da this is part of ur google calender now
if this is too boring , dere are free apps in market to sync facebbok events just do a search on em

There's a way of doing it on the phone without the need for 3rd party app, I've done it a couple of times before but I can't remember how now.

I do it on the same already described. I do not know any rather way aosp roms, with sense roms one can do it with facebook for htc sense (maybe you mean this way), but you cannot user this with aosp roms.

mate earlier when u set up a facebook account u wud get an option to sync , now only works with sense roms
for aosp roms this does not apply any more , good luck trying lol

The facebook sync also works with aosp roms, but only the contact one.
And I also use the described way for syncing birthdays and events, and it word very good on my aosp rom.

Mate I noticed in ur signature that you have transparent xda app
Any way I could get my hands on it

Yeah, your right. I think it was when I had Leedroid installed that I could do that. Makes sense (no pun intended) now that I can't because it was obviously the HTC Calendar app that could do this but this app isn't on the AOSP ROMs.
