Only thing I dont like bout rooting..

The ONLY thing I dont like about rooting is
I dont get the Stock HTC Facebook app that you can sync your contacts with their facebook pictures.
All the other Fbook apps on the market suck. Can anyone port it, make an app similar to that one, or anything?

I know you like 2.3... but if you are willing to use Froyo migueltherocker's GratiousSlide has the same facebook syncing with contacts.. and I was happy with it till my A.D.D lead me to the next 5 ROMs

Lol actually I opened the market and found an app that I can sync my contacts to pictures on fbook, just sort of like the stock contacts app.
The app is a replacement for your contacts but w/e. Ill just use that to sync all my contacts, and assign as main contact app the one with cyanogen
TA-DA!

I wouldn't mind checking that out, what is the program called?

It seems like it's been so long since I had stock. What am I missing here? The official Facebook app syncs its contacts with my own on the phone and imports pictures. The only thing I don't see is the link/unlink that sense has.

The stock Sense overlay, if I remember, by default synced all contacts photos linked to a FB account with their FB profile pic, and even gave you the option of which photo to sync with (FB/Google/manually set).
With vanilla, the FB app will sync contacts, but I am noticing that your Google account image will be the default image, and I do not see a way to make it switch to the FB picture.

You guys should download
"Contapp"
its really good, does the same thing as the original froyo app... its a contact replacement.. just dont set it as default and your done
Wohoo!
Now, is there anyway to make the caller ID pictures bigger?

Add Facebook Account

Trying to add a Facebook account to sync my info with my contacts. Why I go to add the account, the screen just blinks and takes me back to the accounts screen. It wont let me add it. I did it once when the Facebook app asked me if I wanted to, but cannot figure out how to get that option again on the facebook app.
I just rooted my phone and did not apply a custom rom or anything.

You can't add a Facebook account through accounts and sync.. it isn't built in unless you install a rom that has it enabled.

Google has removed facebook sync so the only way to get it back is through a custom rom now.

Actually you don't have to change the ROM. Instead you can just use this app to sync your facebook contacts. Found it a couple of days ago and have been using it without any problems. Works like a charms for me. The only downside: You don't get the facebook icon but instead the icon of the app.

But that's not syncing through the app, which is what the OP is trying to do

He is trying to do that yes. But as he is not going to succeed I was showing him an alternative to installing another ROM. I think that is legitimate.

I agree, I've been using HaxSync for a while now and love it. It does have a few little quirks with name matching, but it's easy enough to remedy by linking the contact to the correct account in Facebook, plus the dev seems to work pretty quickly on updates and bug fixes.

Here's a question which I think is on point with the thread.
I have a custom ROM on my GNEX which has Facebook Sync enabled (Winner00 ROM). But it doesn't seem to sync everyone, and certainly not with high resolution images. I also installed the Facebook sync app that so many have suggested, but that also doesn't sync everyone, nor does it sync high res images.
In total, only about 20 or so of my phone contacts are synced with their FB pictures.
Anyone know how to better tweak this? Or, what I'm doing wrong??
Thanks!

I've not used a ROM that has Facebook syncing enabled, but I'm guessing it's the same situation as with HaxSync. My guess is that the name of the contact in your phone is different somehow than their name on Facebook so this is how you join them so the pics sync:
1. Open the People app and find the contact you want to join
2. Opent the contact then tap Menu>Edit
3. Then tap Menu>Join
4. Match the person to their Facebook name and select it
5. Tap done
The contact will now be joined to their facebook picture and the picture will sync.
As I said, I'm not positive that this is the same with Facebook syncing as all I have used is HaxSync but I'm guessing it's the same.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Contacts app with FB integration

Does anyone know contacts app, with email label, DOB label, social integration, etc? I hate stock ICS contacts "People" app.. Should've post this in Android subforum Also, is there an gallery app that allows you to tag people from contacts on photos?

HaxSync will integrate the Facebook data into your contacts. Including image. Check it out in the market.

there is no need to any thirs party app too sync FB friends with contacts. official FB app can sync them too. but it cant sync events.

It doesn't use your phone's contacts, it uses your facebook contacts, and yes it does, as one of it's core features.

I am not sure if you have tried Contapps and Smartr. They both have integration with various social media sites.

CM9 Facebook Contact Pictures

Hey guys, has anyone been able to get the facebook contact pictures to sync in CM9. I notice facebook doesn't have the option to sync them and the other program I use on my other phones (Haxsync) is not compatible at the moment. Does anyone have some other way around this or an app that they use to get the pictures to sync.
Thanks!

Just look in play store for an app called Facebook contact sync. Should be the first one.

I use syncmypics. Haven't used any others so I'm open to ones that sync higher Res pics.

[Q] Can Cyanogenmod 10 sync twitter/facebook contacts

Hi,
Does Cyanogenmod 10 sync twitter/facebook contacts?
In my One X contact sync is enabled for Facebook, google, whatsapp and linkedin, but no for twitter. In Settings > account > twitter sync is enabled.
EDIT: I was wrong about Facebook contact sync. Even though its listed under the accounts to display contacts from, its empty, no contacts are shown. But in case of twitter its not even listed under the accounts to display contacts from.

AFAIK you need a 3rd party app (in HTC Sense they use Facebook for HTC Sense and Twitter for HTC Sense to sync)
You should try FriendCaster Pro or HaxSync from Play Store (which is not free)

I was wondering how it was working on sense ROM's. So HTC apps are the magic ingredients there. I hope Twitter ad Facebook fixes this in near future.

Hi,
I have purchased HaxSync back in ICS for bigger facebook covers photos on my ARHD. I wanna try CM10 Nightlies, but I'm not sure whether it will sync my contacts' facebook photos.
Can anyone clarify this?
Or is there another contacts app that can provide same thing (with or without HaxSync)?
Thanks,

It will sync the FB contacts and photos both.
