Facebook integration

Iv spent the last few days reading up on several roms & searching through the replies to them hoping to find one that consistantly allows facebook integration. By facebook integration im talking about matching contacts on your phone to their profile pictures online etc.
Iv googled it aswell & apparently it does work on the standard ROMs, which makes me wonder why it isnt implemented on many of the latest custom ROMs?
Don't spose anyone could shed any light on this could they?
thanks guys

Surely someone has a custom ROM with Facebook integration working?

EnergyROM works (kinda). It will find people with facebook profiles and update their pictures. If you go to events though, it only shows some of my friends status updates. But if I go to the individual contact and hit "update", it will then update their status.....

Hmmm...its one of the energy ROMs im using atm (leo) and iv manually linked (i thought it did it automatically - or do you still have to do it manually?) it to a profile(gf's) and its brought up her birthday & last status but no display pic. This is after several attempts to update it.
Is there a trick to getting it to work?
thanks

If you have a pic already set for a contact, delete it. Delete the link to facebook. Then relink your contact to facebook and make sure the box "save photo" is checked. This should load the facebook pic.

I've tried this on a few roms and it still doesn't grab the photo. I wasn't actually aware that it was an issue with custom roms solely but come to think of it, it worked "ok" with the original rom and i'm lucky to have saved a few pictures from the little time I used it.
Im currently using athineOS and i've tried everything I could think of and it still won't work. The only luck I do have is if I open up the link contact option and leave the list open it starts downloading all the pictures when you hit refresh. Unfortunately it stops after about 40 or so friends and if you scroll further down the list you get nothing.
Hopefully someone will have some luck soon.

i'm having the problem where i can't even connect to facebook at all.
are any of y'all having this problem as well?

At least im not the only one then, it does seem 2 be an issue with the custom ROMs, both of the ENERGYroms cant do it aswell.
Hopefully with a few more voices the chefs might implement it in the future. All iv managed to get it to do so far is bring up my gfs birthday.

So far iv managed to get the contacts to appear in the contact/facebook panel. So it lists the contacts and the Facebook profiles appear there, however thats as far as it goes. The phone wont link them to the actually contacts lists in the phone panel, or your favourite panel!
Using the energy Leo ROM atm. Any advice on getting it to work would be greatly appreciated!

Facebook sync

I apologize if this has already been asked but how can you get your contact picture to sync w Facebook pictures? Is it available on custom roms?

Ok i have now rest the phone to stock and linked facebook for htc sense and i still cant get my contacts to sync with facebook pictures. A search didnt show much for the evo.

I can;t link anything since I'm stuck as a junior member (for now), but from what I've read this is a Facebook issue and not a Sense issue. Something about Facebooks protocols changed recently and seemingly behind-the-scenes. Until the application is updated it probably won't work.

really, that is quite disappointing.

Try this, be sure to read my post.

Try to delete HTC sense from your Facebook apps on the website?

USE THE F'ING SEARCH. Seriously, this problem has been going on for a week now and there are threads with this problem in the title and mentioned 1000 times. Stop being so lazy and looking for spoon feeding of answers.

[Q] Matched contact suggestion??

Just received my Desire HD and after 1st sync I noticed a message saying "Matched contacts suggestion" with a list of some of my contacts...can anyone advise what this does?

If you're talking about when you link contacts, then I believe it just links certain contacts together into the same contact. You have to check through them though, because sometimes they may be trying to link two different people into the same contact.

Yeah, for example it may suggest you to link a Facebook contact to a phone contact, and if it is the same guy, you will see his Facebook updates when he/she calls you etc.

Yes, linked contact...its strange though as I dont have duplicates, so not sure why it would try to link some contacts...under what criteria? Thanks anyway.

assumedly you've signed into facebook or twitter.
What it's doing is going through your social network friends list and saying "Aha! I have that name in the phonebook. They probably don't want them in there twice, so I'll ask if they want me to link them"
As I'm signed into facebook and twitter via the app and via sense, some of my contacts have 4 links! It's so much better than having 5 contacts in my phonebook for each person

yes, that would make sense..but I dont have facebook or twitter (probably only person on the planet)..I did find in my google contacts online, that as well as "My Contacts", there was a group made called "Other contacts", which had copy of all my contacts, so I deleted the group..everything was ok for a while then I got message again asking if i want to link some contacts..weird.

even worse: no info whatsoever is given with regards to what it means if you tap the name and it becomes green? Do you eed to tap all of them?

pull down the notification bar and open the linked contacts (if its still asking you) and it'll tell you who it thinks can be linked...you can choose to accept or discard the suggestion. simple
and don't worry you can always unlink contacts later should you wish to.

Get it again
Hello,
I received this question also and I was selecting all my links one by one.
I thought what if I do 'dismiss all', then maybe I can 'select all' after that..
But all my suggestions where gone..
How can I get all the suggestions again?.. I have many contacts..
Thanks in advance from The Netherlands.
Best regards,

Weird CM7 contacts/favorites question

1. In my "contacts" section, I am missing three people (my girl and two close friends). Discovered pretty quickly that they are in my "favorites" section in the stock CM7 dialer. The strangeness comes when I remove them from my favorites, they don't return to my general contacts listing. I don't want to make a new entry for these people and have hella doubles in my synced google contacts, am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug of some kind?
2. I can't seem to find a way to "link" contacts like I used to be able to in Sense, but perhaps that was just a nicety of Sense. If there's no way, I'll just have to do some painstaking contact maintenance and clean it up for good.
Thanks in advance for the help

1. Confirm your settings under Menu->Display Options. It may not be showing all of your contacts by default. Make sure to check the actual gmail/other accounts to see if groups are unchecked..
2. Edit a contact, then press Menu->Join.

AWESOME. I kept searching in "settings," completely overlooked display options as if it weren't even there! Thank you, all problems solved!

[Q] Cant get all contacts to show facbook pics and no visual voice mail

This may not be the place for this. I'm sorry. I just flashed cm7 and i cant get all of my contacts to display facebook pics. it shows a few of them, and the second thing is that i dont know how to find the visual voice mail apk.... please help.
Again I'm sorry if this is the wrong place.

You will have to install VVM yourself since it's a Sprint app and not part of AOSP.
Search in the general section for a thread on how to do this.
Facebook: First, make sure the names in your contacts match the names on your facebook account exactly. Also check out the free market app called syncmypix.
Hope this helps.

Click the link in my signature for the FB fix.
And yes, this is not the correct place for this. People will soon jump down your throat. Just try searching before starting new threads, or post in the CM7 threads.

Thanx guys im sorry again. i will do a little more lookin before posting. thanx again.
