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

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 ?
Anybody managed to restore the Facebook links to your contacts after a Hard Reset or a ROM UPDATE ?
Because I have like 177 contacts that also has Facebook links to their contacts.
I don't want to link each 177 contact one by one after the ROM UPDATE .
Anybody found a smart solution for this ?
???????
i found there is a file called facebookinfo.vol ..
is that the file records everything?
wait me a moment...
U can use splbackup to test it..

yes there s a quick way.
1. Make sure that you've configured your facebook account at settings->my ocntact card
2. go to all all people, then choose the 3rd icon "updates and Events"
3. Use this page to all TP2 to auto search facebook contacts to match with existing contacts (this assumes taht you've synced your phone and updated your contaacts already. thsi should be done before step 1)
HTH
Poch
my links are working after rom upgrade...

Yes and I have to do that 177 times, I'm just looking for a easier method.
Also there is another reality, not all of my contacts are stored in the same name as their Facebook accounts :
For example..... "Richard Mobile" as seen on my phone, but on his Facebook it shows Richard XXXX , so I must manually link the contact to facebook link.
The very best idea is to copy some files before Rom Update and then Replace these files with the new ones after the Rom Update.
I need to know which files are these ???

Mine did it one pass with minimal intervention. It knew which ones weren't synced and made it made a best-guess and presented me with a list of them all in one go.
I suspect the Facebook integration is done via a hidden field in the Contact. If you can determine that you can reset it to force it.
just backup your facebookinfo.vol and pim.vol. Tried it and works.

This sounds interesting, can you confirm all contacts linked perfectly and updating correctly as it should do ?
facebook
I Don't even have anything to show a link with facebook in my people tab. On other HTC phones I have seen an "updates and events" tab, should this be present on the TP2?
I would like to retrieve the details from my Facebook frields list etc, but I can't see anyway of doing this in the people tab

Same with me, i want to select a person and then browse for their picture from my facebook friends - SPB mobile shell 3 lets me do this, but i dont want to install that just to do it.......i might have to though
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!
My friends blackberry is able to pull all his contacts pictures on his phone from updated facebook pics.
It's a really nice feature, anyhting out there like that for WinMo users
D2/TP2 already support this
Umm, yes, it's built into your phone...
Also, you can do this if you have Outlook on any other phone using an app for your computer called Fonebook.
It's built into the stock AT&T ROM, but appears to be missing from some cooked ROMs. (The integration definately does not seem to be there with EnergyROM as of the Oct 11 build.)
It's a little labor but all you need to do is first make sure you have the facebook app installed from either microsoft direct or from the windows marketplace.
Once you have that, you'll need to edit each of your contacts and if you scroll to the bottom of each contact in teh edit view, you'll see that there's a link for connecting to the facebook profile.
Clicking that link will launch the facebook application and then allow you to select the appropriate facebook profile to link to.
That's it.
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.
