I just noticed that my phone won't let me chose the Google contact photo. When I pick a contact then chose edit and go to pick a photo all I get is gallery and camera.... no option for Google. When I check my gmail contacts the photo is there. If I have the contact as a Facebook friend that photo will show. But not all of my contacts are on facebook... any ideas? I'm running the stock deodexed 3.28 Rom with root access and it use to work

I just flashed Cyanogen and so far it seems awesome, but is there an easy way to import people's facebook pictures to use for my contacts like sense has?
Also, is there a way to get sprint's visual voicemail working on it?

Scroll the the bottom of the first post in this thread. There you'll find the Sprint voice mail apk.

Thank you for that! Any ideas on the facebook?
Also, are there any other kernels besides snap that work with cyanogen? I can't seem to find a stable setup.
for facebook pictures: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.nloko.android.syncmypix
free app that works well
facebook and twitter are syncing with contacts in cm6 now, not sure about the contact pictures. i haven't really tested it out.
contacts sync works in cm6...works fine on mine. works the best if you do first and last names in your contacts, it makes it earier for the facebook program to match the contacts

Do you have facebook contacts appearing in your contacts, and linking with regular contacts?
If for some reason a contact is using a different image than facebook, open that contact and scroll to the area of the contact with the facebook data, if you click on the picture from facebook it will prompt you to use that image
Anyway to link contacts. Every time I use a CM Rom, I end up with 600 contacts most of them doubles. One being a FB contact and the other being the actual contact stored in the Google Cloud. I love the roms, but this is very upsetting.
Yes you can link your Facebook contacts. First go into your Facebook app, hit menu and you should be able to sync Facebook.contacts.
From there, go to your contacts, select a contact, hit menu to edit contact, and you should see an option to 'join' - this will let you link your contact to their Facebook profile. Also, after linking the contact, you can choose to use their Facebook photo or leave it on their default photo if you have one.assigned.

you can only do this in a sense rom. with cm6 and facebook you can only choose to sync all fb contacts or sync only existing contacts
Thanks man. That worked like a charm!
Can anyone help me work out how to add photos to contacts? Thanks
you could use apps like syncmypix to grab photos from your facbook contacts.
or open the contacts app and edit the contact and press the camera icon in the upper left and choose from your gallery or take a new picture with the camera
Obviously if you have same ppl on facebook as in your phone you can link contacts with facebook friends. Go to ppl and tap on a person, in the right top corner you should have chain icon.....

Is there an app / way to assist me in syncing the callerID pictures on my phone to their facebook primary profile picture like what it does on WP7 ?
Already possible. Just connect an existing contact with the corresponding facebook contact. The pictures should start synchronizing now depending on your settings.

How do I exactly do that?
Well you have to go to Contacts->Add account->Facebook, choose your Facebook contacts and merge them with your Google contacts. Then all the stuff from Facebook should sync with your Google contacts, but it won't back up the Facebook contacts to your account, which sucks
OR, you can get this app called Google Contact Sync, log in to your accounts in the app (Windows app) and it'll sync all of your Facebook friends to your current Google contacts, which works out to be awesome!
When I tap on facebook, I get kicked back to the accounts and sync page... what seems to be the issue here?
no no no don't tap on the Facebook icon in the 'More accounts' section, there should be one in 'Integrated accounts', use that one.
Do you have SNS installed?

Im using Doc's v9 Barebones, so I think SNS is not installed.
Ok so I've installed the SNS application and added the integrated account logged into my face book account and not its like "Loading..." forever..
EDIT:
NVM found it, its gonna be a pain to join the contacts 1 by 1 and they get renamed according to their facebook names ~_~
hi there
i think i have a same problem like u before
but now, problem solved with SyncMyPix (free at the market), the best caller photo sync i ever try
it's very simply, just syncronize it, and u can link with ur contact one by one if don't have exact match name with ur facebook friends
sometimes, it automatically syncron, if u have a exact match on full name or last name
if the picture miss crop, u can crop it manually from the original picture
since the default samsung sync contact can't do that way
notes: u need to set your contact saved as in g-mail account first.
hope it helps
Dont wanna save them as gmail contacts, Can anyone tell me how I can sycn the facebook contacts to my phone and still follow the name on my phone contact lists, come of my contacts follow the name on the phone but a lot of them auto changes to their current FB name..
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
My facebook pictures were syncing just fine with gallery 4.2 but now they do not show up. If I do a system restore and open gallery 4.2, they show up for a split second then they are gone....with the gallery only showing pictures on my phone. Does anyone know all the settings thst I need to get them to show up again?
Would also like to add that my dropbox pictures no longer show up in the 4.2 gallery either.
