Hi guys,
I am looking for an application that will allow me to do the following. As most of us know, Sense is saving the contact pictures from facebook to the contacts. Unfortunately, they are not saved in to windows mobile.
Is there any app that will take the pictures from Sense/Facebook and save them into the original windows contacts.
Thanks
BookSync does this. You can download it from http://www.booksync.co.uk/Releases.aspx
echolock, thanks for your sharing.
I am downing it now

yes that's possible.
Use the app "Facebook Sync" and it will do the rest
Thanks, but i need a program code not an app!
I want to read the already stored facebook photos (Hero do this) into my programmed app.
With the standard SDK from android i dont get the photos..
HTC overrides the normal contact photo with the facebook one, try to look at the contact database probably you find something
Thank you i will look into the contacts database.
But curious why the loadContactPhoto only gets the manually added..
In case that HTC overrides the normal contact photo with the facebook photo, loadContactPhoto should get also the facebook photo...

loadContactPhoto will grab what *android* has set as the contact's photo. However, the facebook integration is an HTC addition, so there is no android API to grab it. An illustration of this: A contact in my phone has a facebook pic associated with it. I look at that same contact in my GMail's GTalk list, and it shows the manually set pic. So the HTC People app chooses its own pic from either Facebook or the Google Contact pic.
This may change in Eclair, as android 2.0 will have facebook integration included. HTC may have gone with the android API over their own, I'm not sure.
Thanks, i know, but i have seen other apps that are display the facebook photo on the HTC Hero on there app. For example Handcent SMS...
So there must be a way to grab this HTC facebook photo...
Does nobody knows how to get the HTC Hero Facebook photos?
I personally don't know. Try contacting the dev for ChompSMS or Handcent. I know those two pull the facebook pics.
Thanks i already had send an email, but until now no response...
Hey guys, finally tried Cyanogen and WOW. Been up all day and night playing around with it but haven't found any way to sync Facebook contacts like the HTC Sense Facebook app. Damn, HTC really pulled that app off well.
I realize that I can try another custom ROM but this seems to be the bees knees. Any help for this Cyanogen newb would be greatly appreciated. Happy holidays!
Facebook for Android can sync all your friends to contacts or only sync existing contacts.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Hm.. I'll tinker around with it a bit more. It's not updating the contact pictures immediately. Dialer is a little lack luster compared to the Sense one but I'll be content if I can get the contact pictures to update without much fuss.
Thank you!

it really doesnt do a good job tho. you have to have your contacts saved as their exact name on fb - which can be annoying. Plus, sense gets hi res pics as opposed to blurry fb app pics.
i used to have an app by which you could manually sync your contacts to fb - but i dont have it any more and cant remember the name
anyone know the app?

There were a couple that I recall..... but I don't recall the names either lol. I used them on my Xperia X10.
It seems that Sense has put "Notes" in all the contacts and binds them to the respected Facebook profiles, even if you manually link it to another account. My wife has an English and a Vietnamese name for instance. And it's a nuisance when an old broken image of her from my SD card pops up. HTC Sense was fantastic for this.
Maybe someone will be willing to port it over. I have some ****ty coding skills and was looking into doing a few Android apps. Maybe I could figure something out but I doubt it.
*** EDIT ***
Nevermind... turns out the Sense Dialer is heavily tied into the Sense framework. Looks like I may need to look at another customer firmware. I never knew how attached to the Social phonebooks and other Social aspects of my Android phones.
So i have all of my contacts pictures synced through facebook and all of my contacts saved to my gmail. My question is how can i get the face book pictures to be saved on the g mail contact. Im trying to use youlu app from the market and only some of my pictures came over because the facebook pics are not saved on the gmail contact. Thanks for any help

Congratulations !!
i would recommend using "xda winmo facebook" http://code.google.com/p/xda-winmo-facebook/downloads/list
it has way more features than the microsoft app and is less buggy. you can use places, answer requests, pm, chat, see the full news feed...
the microsoft facebook app is the same thing as if you used touch.facebook.com from your mobile browser. you don't need an app for that. you just get the feed and you can upload photos. ok, that might be sufficient for your post here, but hardly supercedes the features most roms with the new camera build or htc messaging come with. after all, who do you trust more, to get it right? Microsoft or XDA-Dev?
Hi,
is possible to make HOMEBREW app which can access destinatation \My Documents\Zune\Content\0300\00\ and see the pictures which are in Picture HUB ?
This app should have also possiblity:
1. Edit images through programs like Photo Enhancer
2. Deleting multiple images
3. Manual Album creation
4. Share to Facebook, Twitter, Skydrive, Hotmail, Dropbox
5. Take pictures
6. Copy and Paste to Skydrive folders
Thanks for info.
You should add [REQUEST] or [IDEA] to the thread title
And I would actually LOVE an app that makes it able to organize pictures on-device. It's such an annoyance to first sync them to Zune and organizing them and then sync them back.
EDIT: I might do one myself, but if anyone knows anything about how Zune and the phone organizes pictures and videos I'd appreciate to get that info. Will look into it myself later today thou, but any help would be awesome
Regards

Well I don't know much about how Zune organizes the pictures but I know that Zune, Camera saves photo this destination
\My Documents\Zune\Content\0300\00\ and save it to some file for example 3d.jpg; 03.jpg; 39.jpg etc.
But Zune must store [ some dat file maybe in \My Documents\Zune\Content\0300\00\zunedb.dat] the real name of the picture that on computer looks like WP_000002.jpg.
It will be nice to have alternative to Picture Hub and if you will look on it it will be great.
I don't know if I help you a little bit ?
zunedb.dat work
I've been looking a bit on the zunedb.dat file in 101 Editor and the identifier or what ever it's called is ZMDB (Zune Media DataBase i think) and I could really use some help on this because this isn't really my area of expertise
Could attach a copy of the file I've been looking at if anyone is interested?
EDIT: Attached it in a zip anyway, and here is some of the information I've found so far.
The albums I've synced from my computer are these, with their respective start address in the file, or at least where the album name is in the file, and after each album name there are paths and such to the particular files, but also a lot of information that I don't know what it is.
Misc [47c00h]
tmp [47each]
Diablo 3 [48920h]

Maybe it could help some Microsoft developer on Microsoft forum ?
But I think that nobody research it yet.
Posted a thread over at the development forum at Microsoft, like here:
http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/t/105185.aspx
I really hope I could get some information regarding this.
Well it's 100% that this app wil not autorization from MS but for the homebrew app its not needed.
I hope that someone share the info which you need.
Just a question:
is it possible to create an own homebrew app which will take and save photo in
folder \My Documents\Pictures + it will have features like as I wrote
1. Edit images through programs like Photo Enhancer, 2. Deleting multiple images, 3. Manual Album creation,
4. Share to Facebook, Twitter, Skydrive, Hotmail, Dropbox, 5. Take pictures, 6. Copy and Paste to Skydrive folders ?
then we dont realy need any info from MS because you can upload it to Skydrive + you cann access the phone file system via WPDM or WMDC/ActiveSync launcher if zou have phone unlock etc.
What do you think ?
Thanks for info.

Marek
Well, it's possible. There are other apps doing everything of that, except the saving location, so I doubt there would be any problems.
The reason for my app and what it does is that it enables you to organize the photos, add/delete/rename albums shown in the Pictures Hub, and move photos between these albums.
AND if zunedb.dat is "worked out" it will also enable us to add music and videos to the Zune app, which means if you use any Music Downloader, you could add them to the regular player, instead of having to open that particular music app to play them.
I hope you see why I think this really is something worth investigating.
Regards
Izaac
Yes, you are right, it's worth for investigating.
So lets hope that we will have good luck.
Do you know which apps can do the things like iwrote in previous comment?
Thanks.
I think there's an application called Private Hub that does most of it, not sure thou.
It will also enable you to password protect certain images/albums (in app ONLY)
Regards
Izaac
