i am running his rom (many names so far...) and its the best one of the 4 2.3 roms for the epic so far, but i have one MAJOR problem with it, there is no integrated contact accounts, facebook (in which i depend on fully for a lot of my phone numbers) is in the contact list thanks to the app, but none of them show up in the google search of the phone, usually this is a simple fix set up the integrated facebook contact account, but this rom has non!!! if anyone can tell me a way to fix this or a way to get acces into the rom's thread (i allways get that im too new even though i meet all the requirements to not be new....) it would be greatly apreciated
could try downloading TW4 to get the Facebook SNS
Like zigg said, check system\app to see if sns.apk or snsaccount.apk are there. Push copies of them in if they're not.

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!
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?

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..
What is it? Originally this was a direct extract of the Email.apk from Nexus One 2.3.4; but the most recent update uses a bug-fixed version extracted from CM7. Primarily because the text prediction bar works in this Email app; while it seems to be missing from all the SGS Gingerbread Email.apks.
Update November 3: I have been using CM7 and don't see myself switching back... CM rocks!!
Update June 6: New version extracted from CM7 nightly that appears to really fix the problem where Exchange email accounts stop syncing, requiring a reboot of the phone. I've been using this build 4 days without sync problem. Relevant threads HERE and HERE
As far as I know this will only work on a Gingerbread ROM. Install via CWM. The installer will attempt to ERASE your emails and email account settings from your phone. This keeps the system from getting all goofed up due to database incompatibilities between Email.apks (Thanks nitr8 and styxx!)
I tested this under Juwe's ROM v4.2 and under Darkys 10.1 against my office Exchange server. It seems to work great.
I am not a developer by any means. What I've posted here is something hacked together out of nothing more than dumb luck. (Really, all I did was extract the APK from the CM7 nightly and modify the menu xml files to link to APK internal PNG images rather than linking to the phone framework PNGs. No actual program code changes were made by me.) If it bricks your phone and your hair falls out... sorry, but don't come crying to me. You have been warned! If this app doesn't work for you, please post anyway so I can laugh at you... Errr... I mean, so I can try to help you.
May 8th update: Some of the menu icons were not showing up properly. Spent some time with APK Manager and figured out how to add in the missing icons.
looks fun
ive tried this and it looks good and works well. The major issue for me as with all the older email apps is there is no "Move to folder" option..... which absolutely drives me nuts. I had it until I tried using the TAB email app, then tried going back but keep getting this same apk and am missing this option. Its a real pain!
Funny, I didn't even notice the "Move to Folder" option was absent!
For me the text prediction was a huge issue, and it was really my only motivator for trying it out. I'm very happy with how quick and responsive this app is. With the stock app I would get lag at different times, especially noticeable when deleting multiple messages. This Nexus version seems to delete them instantly. I also really like having the check-mark boxes present on the message list.
I haven't tried the TAB email app, are you saying the move-to-folder option is missing from the TAB version as well? Have you tried the SGSII Email app from this thread?
good plan
the option was there in the tab email app and also in the newer one of the galaxy but I cant find the apk for that! that'll teach me to back them up! I'll have a look at that thread anyway and see where it leads. Thanks for your work and your assistance.
post a couple of screenshots please: ) otherwise thanks!
Thanks works great

THANK YOU. Samsung email client is sub-optimal. I feel like I can breath again. No more staring at the screen waiting to read an email.
Thanks for sharing !
Anyway, Landscape mode (as with Samsumg one) doesn't work with this Email.apk ... So I'll stay with my K9-mail app.

I use K9 for my personal email account, and the Nexus app for my work email account... and I don't see a difference in the way they handle landscape mode... so just curious, what am I missing?

It doesn't look significantly different. There are check boxes along the left edge of the message list view so you can quickly select multiple messages for deletion, otherwise it looks pretty much the same. The big difference is in how much more responsive it is over the Samsung client, and the fact that the keyboard text prediction bar works when using this email client.

There was a misunderstanding : Samsung app has a different landscape mode.
quick noob question. do i have to wipe anything before flashing this? I'm guessing no but want to be sure.
You need to flash the ZIP via from ClockworkManager, and it will attempt to wipe your email accounts to prevent force close issues due to email database differences between the Email.apk versions.
Does the number of unread emails appear in the icon?

Thanks for posting this! I was killing myself trying to figure out why autocorrection and word prediction wasn't working on my gb rom. I installed it on my captivate running a gb rom (Serendipity VII). It works very nicely for me.
New version _actually_ seems to fix Exchange sync problem.
Thanks for the update. I had trouble getting it to connect over a good 3g signal, but it did so when I enabled wireless for the first sync. I hadn't noticed the synching problem but might not have used it long enough to see the problem. All seems to be working. This app is much nicer than the stock samsung email client in virtually every way. It is much more polished and easier to use. It would be nice if it didn't clear settings when updating over itself, but that is not a big deal.
It's a bit confusing in this thread, but I take it that this apk also lacks Move To Folder? That's a seriously useful feature and it might drive me back to stock on my Incredible just to get it back. Then, of course, I lost the ability to create private appointments in the calendar! Whee. Have you found a version yet that has this feature?
Hi all
I have a HTC Desire HD and have just rooted it. I've got the MIUI AU version and I love the interface. Only problem is, it doesn't seem to like my contacts very much. For example, even though I have someone saved in my contacts, when they text me, the text just shows their number and I have to save them again. Why would it not recognise the saved contact in the first place? I have limited understanding of all this root stuff and the main reason I had my phone rooted was because my previous interface wasn't that great and the phone was laggy and buggy. I also has millions of apps on the phone that I couldnt uninstall. (android 4.0.3)
Basically, can anyone give me any advice to sort my contacts out and have my phone running as awesomely as possible with this new rom?
P.s. any hints on good roms with the same UI would be great.
Thanks!
could be its a bit slow to link your contacts... tryed to sync every thing
could also be the rom you use..
i normally have a backup of my contacts on my sd card i import every time i try a new rom and i dont have the problem..
i like Bliss based Rom ... waiting for icecream when its out of beta face
i recommend you storing your contacts in your google account. if you save a contact a window will pop up which asks you were to store the contact. choose you're google account. if you're changing roms this is really helpful. you only have set up your google account and the phone will automatically sync them.
try this rom.

or if you like some ice cream flavour choose this one. but be aware of the fact is still in beta state. so some bugs will show

Greetings all!
Just purchased the tab pro 10.1. It's incredible. My only gripe, which is not a huge issue but enough to drive me crazy that I haven't yet discovered an easy "fix" for it, is that the stock email app--which I really like given that it mirrors the email app on my SG5--is at version 4.1. On my SG5, the email version is 4.4.2.0400. I'm puzzled as to why the tab pro, after all updates are done, hasn't updated to this newest version. Primarily, I want to be able to a) use the stock email app; b) swipe away emails rather than check a box to delete them.
My device is not rooted nor do I plan on rooting. I've done some digging around online but haven't found an easy way to remedy this. I assume I could just install the SG5 stock email app? But I haven't found the apk online, without the need to edit a bunch of other stuff that is beyond my expertise.
Would there be an easy fix for this? Perhaps just an apk of the SG5 email app I can install over top of this (no flashing, etc)?
Many thanks in advance!
