Does anyone have working Facebook notifications on either Froyo or GB ?
I seem to recall having it working on one of my recent ROMS (i've been flashing like mad recently)
But now I can't seem to get them working on either
SR4
CM7.0.2.1
Warm 2.2
OMFGB 1.2
I'm on CM7 right now, and under settings --> accounts and Sync --> my facebook account, I only see Sync Contacts, when I'm sure I sued to see Sync Live Feed, which is possible why I'm not getting Notifications ?
anyone else having issues ?
You're thinking of the Facebook for HTC Sense account. When you're running a sense ROM and login to facebook through HTC sense, then you get the option for 'Sync live feed'. The regular Facebook app doesn't have this option, so you need to be running a sense ROM. Out of the ones you mentioned i'd recommend SR4, but thats just me
But facebook in gingerbread should give me notifications from the app itself right?
I'm not getting any, even though I should

The notifications from the Facebook app both in gingerbread and froyo have always been hit and miss for me. Sometimes I will get my notifications, sometimes they will be delayed and sometimes they just won't show up at all. And it's not ROM or even phone specific, the inconsistency is across multiple ROMs and phones.

the native fb app sucks as far as notifications as far as my experience, i installed bloo (on the market) and that works much better for notifications, the fb app works better for profile viewing and messages.
The best way to get notified from Facebook about anything is through email. I use gmail and of course, since its push email I get all notifications instantly. No need to use the Facebook app at all for this (it's pretty much broken anyways).
I just installed OpenDesire on my HTCDesire. Its working great. Though I am missing HTC Contacts app.
is it possible to get HTC Contacts app on my OpenDesire now?

No, not without installing HTC Sense first. You're probably better off with a Sense ROM like LeeDroids.
Try LauncherPro - If you like it, unlock the Plus features ($2.99)
The plus features have widgets that look and act like the Sense widgets, including:
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Friends (Like FriendStream)
- Messaging
- People
- Bookmarks
It's great. And there are mods, so if you want to there's the possibility of making the widgets transparent, blue and so on.
I am not interested in all HTC Widgets. After reading different reviews I came to know that it eats battery and memory. However, I really liked the way HTC manages the Contacts. Mulitple social accounts linked at one place. I tried to find some decent app for that but didn't like any.

Use SuperVillian ROM.
So I like using the stock mail app but it seems that after a day it DELETES any email. Is there a easy way to fix this? Or do I need to switch to another mail app? If so could I please get a few suggestions? Also I'm currently not rooted.
Thanks

Mail -> menu -> more ->settings -> Send & Receive -> download options
Pick # of days or # of emails.
I had an issue with the Mail app where it would constantly get stuck syncing my Exchange email, when nothing changed. It would kill the battery when it got stuck doing that. I would try killing the sync, and it would just start again and again... So I paid $3.99 for Enhanced EMail from the Market. Works great!
Sense Email for Exchange works perfectly
I have also purchased the Enhanced Email for my DINC, but the only time I have to use it is when I'm using a GB rom. It works pretty well, but there are no scrolling widgets available for it. The stock GB email client is missing the 'search' function (I'm not sure how the Google folks neglected this key piece of business-class functionality in the GingerBread Release).
When I am using a FROYO rom on the DINC (Sky Raider 4.0 is the very best in my opinion), the Sense Exchange Mail client should be rock solid and has one of the very best widgets available on the market. The problems you are experiencing might be the rom you are using, because it works flawlessly on the SkyRaider 4.0 Rom with Sense 2.0.
I use my phone for Business and Personal, Using HTC sync i have Phone contacts and Gmail contacts, which i can separate.
However, I'd like to run an AOSP ROM like CM6.1 or some of the new Gingerbread ROM's being released.
I have two Gmails (one for work and one for Personal) so Syncing wont be an issue, However. can i get the same contact separation i get using Sense on ASOP with some sort of app?
Hi again guys,
I have heard that the 2.3 update stops the Facebook integration with Contacts. Can anyone tell me if this is true?
One of the best features of this phone is having the little Facebook photo next to all my contacts, birthday reminders, status updates showing etc.
Will I lose this if I update to 2.3?
Thanks!
Matt
I use custom ROM 2.3 and Facebook photo profile still integrated with my contacts.

Try check yours account with HTC Facebook and Facebook and log-in again and sync all..
I really can't see why it would be any different from the custom roms i've been using. It still works for me I still get all the info from fb linked with my contacts.
Yeah iv noticed it is still there although in the previous rom i was using they failed to show up after a few failed syncing attempts but that just meant i had to reflash and works perfectly
sounds promising then. Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes
