Which of these applications manages your contacts, their pictures and status updates? I removed the HTC Sense variation and now I have lost my Facebook content BUT when I click to add the generic Facebook logo it doesn't do anything but flash green ... any ideas?
As far as I'm aware, I think the HTC Sense version manages your contacts. When I (painstakingly!) added all my contacts in, I had the option of linking it to their Facebook content via 'Facebook for HTC Sense.
so no actual need for the generic option? will give it a try again.
I removed it as contacts were not being updated and I had all my FB contacts rather than just the linked ones ...

Hi,
I recently started using the HTC contacts widget and already hit trouble.
I did a search for anything related to "contacts" and "widget" but I found no threads describing this problem.
- I have all my contacts stored as Google contacts (with photos). Some of my contacts have their facebook account linked to them.
- Photos I selected for ALL my contacts are Google photos.
- I created a new group (called Speed Dial) and included all the people I wanted to show in the contacts widget.
And now for the problem... I added about 10 people to the widget, some of them have a facebook account linked some of them don't. When I first added them all the appropriate Google photos were shown (although they were blurry but I could live with that).
However, anytime I sync my contacts or restart the phone ALL the photos are reset to Facebook photos. Not only for the contacts included in contacts widget but for ALL contacts that have a facebook account linked to them.
Is this a bug, a feature or just me being stupid and missing some fundamentals?
Does anyone have a tip or an advice?
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: If this is just another buggy HTC widget then I have one more question
Is there a nice, good looking contacts widget for Desire? What do you guys use?
I've experienced the same and would prefer the photo I choose to appear instead of the facebook one. A friend of mine has his cat as his facebook contact photo and this keeps coming up on my phone. If anyone has some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Just got my incredible, I don't remember if the contacts were synched at first, but right now it doesnt link to facebook (I'm logged into facebook and the widget works though)
So my contacts dont have the usual facebook display pictures on their contact cards, running 2.2 (came stock on my phone), unrevoked3 applied
I deleted some htc apps like stocks and friendstream, might I have deleted a service I needed by mistake? And if so, is anyone kind enough to host the apk for it? thanks
PS I checked the accounts to sync under settings, and facebook isn't among the list/options, only my gmail and a few other accounts are listed
Friendstream is definitely needed to have any contacts linked with corresponding Facebook info.
There is a thread somewhere that states you can delete the friendstream widget .apk, but can't delete the friendstream.apk itself or that will destroy syncing.
Hi all,
Until now I was running a sense rom where I had all my contacts linked to their facebook profile so they all show their facebook pictures.
All my contacts are sync with google and so for all of them, if I look at them in gmail, there's a note like this :
<HTCData><Facebook>id:63xxx4/friendof:21xxx95</Facebook></HTCData>
Last week, I switched to a non-sense rom. When I synced my contacts from gmail to the stock android contact list, some of them displayed the facebook picture, and some of them did not, despite having the link showed above.
Also, when in gmail, if I look at my contacts, only some of them display the picture from htc sense, of course, these are the one which display a picture when I sync them with android. How come don't they all get the picture from sense?
Do you know why it works with only a few of them?
Is there a way I can have all my contacts display their facebook picture?
Thanks for your help, much appreciated
to sync contacts with fb on aosp rom, i think the contact has to have the exact same name in your contacts as there display name on fb
I'll try that mate and see if it works, thanks for the answer!
As said, the names have to be exact. If not, you can just edit the contact and 'join' them to the FB app...it's quite easy tbh
open contact -> press menu -> edit contact -> press menu -> join
I got my DHD 3 weeks ago and since then I have flashed more than 20 Roms.
In the end I decided to settle for CM7. However, this MOD lacks HTC Sense. Out of all the features Sense offers the only one I miss is Facebook for HTC sense. The reason for that is the very nice quality of pictures it links to your contacts. The Facebook for Android app didn't do it for me.
So my question is: Is there any replacement for FB for HTC sense which can be installed on CM7?
it's not the facebook for sense that sync with the phonebook, it's the htc sense itself ..
you dont need to login facebook for sense to sync (if you have htc sense based rom), if you have facebook for android , then htc sense will do the sync.
unfortunately, htc sense cant be integrate together with AOSP rom. but you still can merge contact. Once you merge your google account + facebook contact , you can have the facebook picture there.
here is the way to merge ..
open contact -> choose your phonebook friend -> menu -> edit contact -> menu -> join -> choose the facebook profile -> done

Thanks for the reply, but I think you might be wrong about one thing.
In sense ROMs when you go to the Accounts and Sync settings you have the choice between two facebook accounts: 1) Facebook (which is the Facebook for Android App) and 2) FB for HTC sense.
These two are not the same, but you can sign in with the same account for both of them. And when you try to link your contacts in the way you mentioned above, you get to choose between both accounts.
I have tested both apps, and there is a huge difference in the resolution of the pictures each app assigns to your contacts. The pictures Facebook for Android assigns to your contacts is very pixelated and look very stretched; while the other app downloads a nice quality of pics.
In other words, I know that you can use the Facebook for Android on AOSP ROMs, but this is not what I'm inquiring about. I would like to know if there is another app that can be used as a replacement for Facebook for HTC sense.
I've come across an App called SyncMyPix, have anyone tested it? Do you recommend it?
http://www.contapps.com does what you want. When I'm on CM7, I use contapps.
as the title says i really like miui but i hates the contacts app and caqlendars because i can't link facebook contacts with google and whatsapp so i foundlots of duplicates (really annoying!) and i want to sync facebook calendar with phone calendar like on htc sense...
can i use that apks or they won't works? if yes, where can i found them?
