Anyway to sync conyacts with fb
I did not know this before buying
You can try third party contact apps like GoContacts. IIRC, those apps sync contacts to facebook, as long as the contact name is the same they use in Facebook
stock roms can only sync with Facebook with motoblur. CM7 works fine once Facebook application is installed.
so the only solution is to use other contact apps

Hello all,
i'm running root with leedroid 1.7.
now i've used facebook on i believe defrost and i had some great sync options like, sync current contacts, which I'd like as to be honest a lot of my friends on fb are through a sport I play and we don't speak outside of the sport, so I don't need everyone listed in my phonebook.
the default facebook app in sense and the one on the market both have either sync or don't sync.
Is there a special fb apk I can use, or is this a strange sense limitation. I have twitter running too and I have the options I mentioned, but not for facebook.
TIA
Luke.
Currently when i select a contact in the "People" App, it says they are synced with:
Phone
Phone
Facebook
Facebook For HTC Sense
Firstly, is there anyway to delete the other "Phone" link without having to manually unlinking them?
Secondly, do i need my contacts sync all my contacts with both Facebook & Facebook for HTC Sense to get their facebook display pictures to show up and for facebook widgets to work?
& finally, is there anyway to get all my contacts to sync with google without having to re-add them all to my phone.

You can try contact analyzer which can be found in market. To find duplicate contacts.
For LAST question, you can export all your contact from your people and import them to GOogle, or you can setting up active sync.

I would suggest keeping the facebook for HTC sense sync , I tried not having that and contact pics were all blurry...makes alot of difference when you're getting a call etc.

Nope , you can keep htc sense synced and let normal facebook stay disabled thats what I do now keeps the amount of linked contacts to a minimum.

So I have only just got around to rooting my GN and curious how easy it is to get Facebook sync working again. After looking around I see lots of custom roms that I can install to make it work but I wanted to keep everything stock. I also see some people modifying the APK but wouldn't that stop working as soon as Facebook update their app? Is there an easy way to get this working? Thanks.
You could try a sync app for fb.

I already use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix but would rather not have another app running just to do what Facebook should already do.
Unfortunately, from what I understand, Google disabled facebook sync as part of their default experience because of a spat over API's between Google and Facebook.
So no sync without root..

I have root. Do you mean without installing a ROM?
Sorry. Yes, I think you need a custom ROM. My facebooksync started working that way.
but if you want to keep that stock feel, I can recommend Bugless Beast ROM..
Use Haxsync for that...

I tried that one before i rooted and thought it worked well, but was just ugly. When you view a contact you don't want to see a big red Haxsync logo. It should be under the official Facebook app. I know why this is not possible but presumed after rooting there would be a method.

There is some ROMS have added the facebook sync back into the ROM. AOKP has the FaceBook Sync buil into the ROM, so once you install FB it gives you the option to sync contacts.
However, I like HaxSync, yes it is not the "FB" logo, but it syncs higher quality pictures, status updates, and it merges FaceBook and Google contacts, better than the built in sync. Makes it work like Google+ with the updates and like HTC sense with merging contacts.
HaxSync

It's not just Facebook. Twitter and LinkedIn contacts don't sync either (hell, LinkedIn quit working overall). Google needs to officially spit out that 4.0.3 update and the developers of those apps need to code for the new social API that is required to plug into the People app. Read more here: Android 4.0.3 Platform: Social stream API in Contacts Provider.

I thought this issue was happening way before 4.0.3?
My twitter sync works fine i think?
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.

I think he is looking for something like old GB contacts or people hub from WP.
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.

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.
