What??? I am confused as to what you want. Do you have a sense rom. Is it custom or stock. If you want to sync Facebook contacts with regular contacts and you have a sense based custom rom you should have no problem unless you or the rom Creator deleted the Facebook for HTC apk. That is the one that syncs Facebook contacts to regular contacts.
Or you could search the market for an app that will sync the contacts together. I know there is one there but I forgot the name of the app. Just go over to the market and do a search.

the facebook sync doesnt actually "add" any real contacts but simply makes them look like they have been added. but will get deleted once you "un sync"

I think but am not sure but if your contacts are on the sim card then you can not add pictures to them. Copy them to the phone or use your google account instead.

There are 2 ways I know you can achieve this:
1) Use Samsung Social Hub, add your FB account and it will give you options to link each of your contacts to a their FB account, this will sync their photos and status updates into your contacts.
2) Use the official FB app, and check the Sync Contacts option. I havent tried it personally but should work similar to Social Hub

Which rom's allow faceboock calendar sync?

Hey,
I'm looking for a gingerbread rom that has facebook calendar sync. I remember being on one that allowed it. But I don't remember which one and don't wanna try flash through each one to find it.

Virtuous 2.0 has it
Just checked my Virtuous 2.0 Calendar, and under the Menu -> More -> Calendars I see the facebook calendar as one of the ones I have.

That's a Sense feature. AOSP ROMs seem to not have it. Kinda sad. Maybe when Facebook hopefully updates the app to solve the Contact Sync policy issue with Google, they will add calendar support ? Fat chance, I know. But it's nice to dream

+1. Your best bet is to flash a Sense based ROM. I haven't seen any app (yet) that allows for your facebook calendar to be synced. If you do find one though (an app) let us know! As much of a fan as I am to Sense, I'm hooked on ICS at the moment and just waiting patiently for an ICS ROM with Sense 4.0 =)

Can you recommend me a good Facebook and Twitter app?

Hello all,
As the title says really, tweetdeck was alrite but hadn't been updated in years and tweekdeck started to go odd and fail liking posts for example and currently Seesmic seems to force me to open pics in the browser rather than showing a preview. Can anyone name some of their favourites especially when being able to update both Facebook and Twitter at same time? Feel free to review it briefly saying why you like the app.
Best

I only know of 50/50 solutions unfortunately. Friendcaster allows you to update facebook statuses and share them to twitter. Flipboard can sync twitter and facebook feeds. I don't use twitter so I have no idea how well it works but viewing facebook pictures opens up inside flipboard rather than sending you to a website.

I've tried a variety of different facebook and twitter apps but i still prefered stock apps for both i recently tried tweetcaster (twitter client) but there just seems to be alot goin on in that app for my liking.

Friendcaster and Plume

Depends what you desire from your client. Personally, I like http://boidapp.com/. It's not as fully featured as some others but look beautiful.

Well ideally would like the app to do both fb and Twitter,be able to view peoples pictures direct in the app without it using the browser and lastly to be able to update both at once. So i would like smoking similar to tweet deck and tweak deck but not so...well buggy. The reason for this thread was because it got to the point where everytime i tried to like a post it would fail. Even after reconfig and even a wipe of the app data. I got fed up with it and removed both afore mentioned apps.

Have you tryed tweakdeck?

Tweakdeck and Tweetdeck are completely different apps.

Friend caster is a good app but it has a lot of stuff that are missing from the original Facebook app like search doesn't work well with it

Yeah tried friend caster but it didn't get on well with me :-(

Facebook - Friendcaster
Facebook & Twitter - TweetDeck & Flipboard
Try em' out & review it for yourself ^^

Friendcaster & Boid

Facebook native app is good enough. Just make sure u do a fresh install on every update.
For twitter I suggest TWEAKdeck, paulobrien version of tweetdeck. Lots of improvements compare to original tweetdeck
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I recommend twicca for twitter. It has a built in viewer for pictures and tweetlonger. It also has color themes.
As for facebook, I can't recommend anything because I don't have a FB account.

HTC 10 No longer scapes Facebook for contacts

Title says it all really, I had to install the social media.apk just to get facebook in blinkfeed
This seems like a huge step backwards I assume I'm missing something
Any info on this would be much appreciated

Probably part of the debloat. I use Sync.ME for the same features though.

I don't know if it did for the M8 or M9 either did it?

Do you know which apk controlled that? Just checked both devices and neither has Facebook contacts so it may be something I removed on the custom ROM.
I thought Facebook themselves killed that functionality a long time ago.

Hasn't worked on Samsung devices for a while. I'm wondering if it isn't a FB thing.
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

What the 10 doesn't have and I find a little odd is no Blinkfeed integration!
So it comes with Facebook and Messenger stubs but no Blinkfeed plugin.
It doesn't come with Twitter, but does come with a Twitter blinkfeed extension
It doesn't come with Google+, but does does come with a Google+ blinkfeed extension
;p

I'm not sure. All I know is that I could add my Facebook account and it'd match names and photos

I think at some point that was a Facebook feature that they killed off sadly.
Sync.me is a great tool for doing it tho!

My T-Mobile M8 did Facebook contact sync. I eventually reflashed to AT&T and lost that functionality. Later reflashed to the unlocked version and it was missing from that version by that time as well.

Just tried sync.me, wow it fixes what I've been missing for so long. How could I not have tried this app. I've tried so many others with no luck this works great thanks everyone

Yes but as far as I know sync.me only links facebook contact picture to contacts and no other information and it doesn't link the contact to their facebook page

Yes Facebook killed that feature. What worked for me on my M8, was to google facebook apk version 27(I may have the apk in dropbox). That version had the sync contact setting. Once you did this your contacts will be back and then you can update back to the latest fb apk.

This is the method for syncing fb contacts if you dont wish to install other apps. facebook removed the contact sync from the app a while ago and an old app is needed to sync them them updating the app is possible.

Nothing to do with HTC, it was Facebook who discontinued the feature unfortunately. Use Sync.ME.

Not compatible with device.

I tried installing the older Facebook app and keep getting an "app not installed" error. Could it be because of the Facebook app already loaded on the device...even though it's not the full app?
