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 :/

Hi All,
Old Winmo User here, glad to be back on XDA-Dev after a stint with a Moto Milestone.
I picked up a Desire yesterday. I love most of the HTC tweaks. I like the black theme and glossy skins more than stock android.
However, I can't seem to sync a Facebook account, only 'Facebook for HTC Sense'.
One of my favourite things on the Milestone was being able to click on someone's photo in any app and have the option to contact them via facebook, twitter , gmail, gtalk etc. This has gone on the Desire. I also liked being able to jump to a contact card straight from the Facebook and Twitter app, but this option has gone now too. The integration, which is the shining point of Android is missing on the Desire.
I think the problem is possibly because the default contacts.apk is missing, and the godawful HTC one is there instead, so Facebook and Twitter don't know what to sync with. Is this right?
I have found the contacts.apk from this thread however I can't install it. Is this because I don't have root access?
If I root my Desire, and install this APK, will my Facebook and Twitter integration return?
Cheers in advance
You should be able to send it with htc sync to your phone. (once connected a third option will appear in the programme)
Just make sure that in settings->applications that unknown sources is checked.

This thread indicates otherwise.
Is there something that HTC Sync does that just running an .apk does not? I've installed several other .apk files without problem.
You should only be able to sync with 'Facebook for HTC Sense' from the sync menu. If you open the facebook app then it will also sync with 'Facebook'. I think so anyway.
This is how I understood it too.
I 'had' a stock Desire yesterday morning and Facebook HTC Sense etc was working swimmingly there, got all updates and contact pics on the 2.1 release (out of box night before), since i rooted and dropped on a different ROM i lost all of that but my memory recalls;
Stock 2.1>Root>setup and the pictures were there fine
then Cooked ROM>setup = Fail
My suggestion is try for a root on stock and if it works all ok your golden! i think my issue is the ROMs i use dont support Facebook Sync,,, yet
so i deleted friendstream and what not so i can't use the fb that's integrated into sense to update my contacts with fb.. is there any way to do this with the facebook for android app from the market? I remember on my moto droid I could, but it doesn't seem like I have that option int he people app on my DInc.. anyone?
bump.... anything? anyone?

you can try socialite, I think it is in the market, if not you can find it in the interwebs, that and htc sense are the only ways I know of to syn FB contacts.
I think that it has to do with the android version of FB available from the market using the INC. I agree that on my motoDroid I had no problems syncing contacts, and I can guarantee there was no sense running on that
There's some sort of bug... Facebook shows up in Accounts & sync when you click Add Account, but when you select it there's an error or two in logcat and you're kicked back a screen.
If you look at the app's permissions, it IS allowed to read/write contact data, as well as sync settings. It just doesn't work at the moment.
Has anyone managed to figure this out? I'm a bit OCD about my contact pictures :-(
im OCD too, which is why thats one area id never want removed, i understand its to cleanup the phone and all but maybe its better to keep things plugged in so that everything can work and then move on removing things systematically from there. I admit im no programmer at all so i dont know where to ever begin but mi just giving a basic train of thought that id follow.
Afaik, you need Friendstream and Facebook for sense to have contacts sync.
I had to install both again, with the obex for each, to get this working on a custom rom.
There are a couple of ways to sync fb contacts to google contacts, but I haven't tried any of them. Use google to find them. After that you can keep the pictures synced with an app called "syncmypix"

You shouldn't need Friendstream to sync contacts (see Moto Droid). The native Twitter app integrated just fine despite Peep being installed. The Facebook app is poorly written so it doesn't sync on the Droid Incredible. This might be because Friendstream is 'supposed' to do it, so native syncing is disabled? Editing build.prop and a few other files is necessary to create a friendly environment... but it'd be easier if Facebook just fixed their apk.
Syncmypix looks like a nice stop-gap for now though

if you just need contact pics from facebook..not updates or profiles linked...use facebook sync. its an app in the market, not affliliated with Facebook, so it works perfectly. used on my stock incredible and now on my 2.2 rom rooted incredible.

oddly enough, i actually am a programmer, haha.. but I agreet hat sometimes it's better to keep things installed if they're working.. problem was, friendstream wasn't working.. I removed it and fb because I was getting the bg fc's from the friendstream sync issue and got sick of having to re-setup my fb every time..
Ok, I can't take this anymore and I didn't know what keywords to use for a search...here's my issue. When I sync my contacts, their number changes to +15551234567 instead of 5551234567...how do I fix this or can I?

The way I do it is have the phone sync with Outlook and in Outlook I have the format set to (555) 123-456. The don't use the facebook ap, just use the facebook mobile page.
I have a question about Facebook For HTC Sense also
My phone is synced with my facebook account but ever since I updated to 2.2 from ATT, if I try to update my status or upload a picture using Facebook for HTC Sense, it doesn't work. Is there a fix or should I just download the facebook app from the market again?
What ROM are you using?

Well you should be able to update it from within friend stream...have you removed the account and added it again?

Ever since I got the 2.2 update, it hasn't been working. Oh and sorry for asking this in the Droid Incredible section. I have the Aria on ATT.
Currently when i select a contact in the "People" App, it says they are synced with:
Phone
Phone
Facebook
Facebook For HTC Sense
Firstly, is there anyway to delete the other "Phone" link without having to manually unlinking them?
Secondly, do i need my contacts sync all my contacts with both Facebook & Facebook for HTC Sense to get their facebook display pictures to show up and for facebook widgets to work?
& finally, is there anyway to get all my contacts to sync with google without having to re-add them all to my phone.

You can try contact analyzer which can be found in market. To find duplicate contacts.
For LAST question, you can export all your contact from your people and import them to GOogle, or you can setting up active sync.

I would suggest keeping the facebook for HTC sense sync , I tried not having that and contact pics were all blurry...makes alot of difference when you're getting a call etc.

Nope , you can keep htc sense synced and let normal facebook stay disabled thats what I do now keeps the amount of linked contacts to a minimum.

Hi, after i got my new HTC One X (The old one had Display problem)
I can't find Facebook for HTC in Accounts & Synchronisation?!
Only the normal Facebook.
Setting the preferences back and Delete all accounts doesn't work.
How to get it back?
So completely stock and a hard reset done.
Firmware is 1.28??
to be honest no idea at the moment
In the friendsstream app....., is it there??
no worries about that.
since ICS, htc integrate (linked) their facebook for htc with original facebook app (katana).
just sign in and it will showing up on friendstream widget or app.
Pictures of some of my FB contacts don't show on People. Anything wrong I'm doing?

yes, but then when uploading a photo through gallery "share" with Facebook for HTC Sense the upload fails at 100% (every time).
on a probably unrelated note, installation of LinkedIn for HTC Sense from HTC Hub fails too

Most probably the contact is not completely sync the picture yet. It happens to mine too, after awhile the picture will appeared, no worry
Actually every since Sense 3.5, the Facebook For HTCSense is no where to be seen in the Account. Everything is done via official FB, but you still hv the function of uploading a picture via FB for HTCSense, and it works for me everything. Benefit of this is it allows you to tag ppl in picture but the official FB lack of this function
Kudos to HTC Sense

Same for me! I had to re-link some of my contacts manually...
It took at least 30mins.

In response to enyaj, may not help the OP.
Wow I have been having the same problem for some time now (FB for HTC Sense not linking up profile pics with contacts), and my wifes phone would always error on photo uploads) figured out that I changed the FB password awhile back to prevent a possible hacking video issue. If you change your password on FB and use FB for HTC Sense, you must go into: Menu> Settings> Acctounts & Sync. Then delete your FB for HTC Sense account. Then just add account (bottom of screen) FB for HTC Sense and login with the correct email and password. Bam all my contacts pictures sync'd with their FB profile pics, status updates and such are working also. Hope this helps.
I got the same issue .. and after googleing .. I found out that I have to unistall Facebook update ..delete my FB account from Account$Syncing in the settings .. and make a restart,, then add My FB again in Account&Syncing ..
