[Q] Facebook sync for HTC Sense - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
In my older ROMs I had an option on sync accounts called Facebook for HTC (plus the original Facebook sync), which was very useful cause then I could delete the annoying always-online-facebook-app which I didn't use and only use the sync option of the Facebook-for-HTC, and I could sync contacts and contact pictures with it.
And now on my new ROM (Virtuous Affinity 1.48) I don't have it on the list (I believe because its Sense 3.5),
So to get contact synced with facebook pictures, I must Install the official annoying app which leaves me online to chat 24/7..
Is there any sollution for this?
Thanks,
Yarden.

Get the htcfacebook.apk from one of your older roms and install it

I tried this, but usually it doesn't work. Has something to do with the different framework between Sense 2.1-3 and Sense 3.5 With Sense 3.5, Facebook for HTC Sense was removed, but Twitter remains. You'll have to either:
a) Download the official Facebook apk from the Market
b) Download an app such as 'FContactSync" or "EasySync" to sync your pictures (Both worked well for me)
c) Not sync Facebook

I'm running rcmix3d with sense 3.5, and it has that apk. So you should be able to download Rcmix3d then just extract the apk from it

Can u send me a link from where u downloaded please?
Or if its not too much to ask may I ask you to upload the app for me please? if you kept the rom file..
thank you,
and also thank you mr HTC_Phone, I prefer to keep that option to last.
The FB for htc is much more convenient then any other app, especially the official app.
and not syncing is not an option

Here's the apk http://db.tt/Kke1EYol

thank you thank you!
although it says some error :\
when I open the installation it says "its system app, blah blah, continue? yes.... and then "App not installed" :\
Is there a special way to install it?
I remember one time I used root manager, by a guide or something.. is it necessarily here too?

Yes, you'll have to copy it to /system/app with root manager or another file manager with root access

well I putted it in the system app as you said.. rebooted.. but still no option for that in accounts sync..
also I cannot find it on titanium backup app list..

got the same rom, same problem
but I so have contact pics

Anyone konws how to export original HTC Apps or any resource?

After root Desire, maybe I can install a clean ROM. Some HTC Apps are good for me, so I want to learn how to export original HTC Apps in APK format, or can you tell me is there any useful resoure to download to apk Apps.
Thanks a lot.
You can't do that, they have dependencies which are buried deep in the rom.

no stand alone htc apk apps? I have googled and downloaded the htc IME as a apk file, maybe dialpad or contacts etc. can be downloaded from somewhere.

The IME works cause it's a keyboard. I beleive HTC Music works on SOME roms but not all. I think that's it as far as HTC Apps on Stock roms go.

[Q] SMS from Sense 3.0

hi everybody, can i install the Sense3.0 sms style on my android 2.3 rom ??
I don't exactly know what the 3.0 SMS app depends on, so I can not give a general answer, but RCMix 6.0 comes with the new SMS app.

i know but i just want the application :
I'm looking for that messaging app too :-(
I'm pretty sure it's not as easy as installing something from a market, and you probably won't just be able to push the apk through adb.
Just wait for a flashable zip from your ROM or use capy's ROM.
Exaxtly , i already try to install many things but nothing..

[Q] E-mail APK

I have the boost mobile s2, which I'm told is exactly like the samsung epic touch 4g. I am rooted and am on a custom rom (pacinblack). I am trying to install a mail apk file someone linked me to that also has a widget inside this app. The file is email.apk. I also have es file explorer. I downloaded the file and I long pressed the file (in es explorer) to install it. It said it installed correctly. I then reboot my phone and go into my app drawer and widgets and there is no mail app. Am I doing something wrong??When I go into settings-apps and when I look in the download section, there is no mail app, but when I go into the all section I see something that says exchange services. Is this the e-mail apk I am looking for. When I press on this, it gives me two options, to forcestop or diaable?? This is called exchange services and has a picture beside it of mail, so I figured this was it. Does anyone know why this is not showing up in my app or widget drawer?? Does this apk file have to be in a particular folder on my sd card or in systems? Someone told me in the other forum that to put it in systems-apps. I tried moving it to there but it wont move there and when I try, it changes the name of the file but leaves it right where it is?? I have root access enabled on my es explorer so that is not the problem. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. I am seeking help in this forum because the other forum is not that active and there doesn't appear to be any active developers there. Thank again.

Is the email.apk compatible with Pacinblack? What I mean, for example, the email client in JV is secemail.apk. You may have an incompatible email.apk. I tinker with my system apk's all the time. Just copy your email.apk that you currently have in system, anywhere. Then long press the one in system file, delete it, then cut and paste your friends in there. If it doesn't take, just put your original one in there, but if it's compatible with Pacinblack, which I believe is jb, it should take. Good luck.

Touchwiz secmail.apk won't play nice with aosp. The solution is to download a ROM or gapps package that includes the apk you want, and copy/paste it to /system/app

Thanks for the responses. Like you said, I'm surprised pib rom doesn't have a native app. Do you have any idea what that exchange services is under settings-apps-all. There's a little mail icon next to this. If that's not for email, does anyone know where I can get the right apk mail file for the pac in black rom. Maybe I have the wrong apk for this rom. I was looking on the epic 4g rom developer thread but couldn't find the file and I couldn't post on that thread to ask.

When I installed the pac in black rom, I also installed the gapps file with it. How do I know what jb gapps to pull the apk from? Isn't there certain gapps for a particular rom? Also, when I have the file, how do I pull the apk file from it, I've never done this before. By the way, thanks for the help in trying to assist me in getting this mail app working.

I am looking for a native email app that has a widget so I don't have to open a app to see my emails. I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago, previously I had the HTC evo v with a custom rom the had the email app I am looking for now. Can you direct me to which jb gapps are compatible with this rom and which gapps is likely to have the email app I seek, thanks.

HTC Twitter app for Blinkfeed

Since I updated to 4.2.2 Twitter doesn't show up as a source for Blinkfeed. Is there an apk file I can use to enable this. I read somewhere that the htc Twitter app is different from the actual Twitter app. But I haven't been able to find file to install htc's Twitter app.

what rom the 4.2.2 rom im using blinkfeed displays twitter perfectly.. remember to enable it in the settings of blinkfeed.
I am currently using Revolution Rom 10, which uses 4.2.2 and my twitter is working properly. Id check to see if this is a ROM customization where they took twitter out for some reason, or maybe its just not selected in your list of sources for blinkfeed.
Maybe....
When I flash Android Revolution, this rom show me the pre-install apps that I can install. If I don't select facebook or twitter, When the phone start, this apps don't appear to select in blinkfeed options although I install from Google Play, this don't appear. Sorry for bad english.
I'm on Android Revolution 10.2. I did not select to install twitter when i was flashing the new rom. Is there a way i can install it now?
Sources I have for blinkfeed now are Flickr, Instagram and Linkedin.

No chance of getting it back. There are plug-ins missing. You need to flash the rom again. I've had the same issue with trickdroid

[APP] HTC Scribble for Sense 6

I downloaded and installed but won't open, "unfortunately scribble has stopped" ? ? I've gone back to stock to wait for sense 6 update, then goin back to ARHD, could that be problem ?
Edit. Read op again and says copy to system/app. Tried that with ES file explorer but it won't copy. Says "copy has failed", or words to that effect.

Per the OP, this is the Sense 6 version. You need the Sense 5.5 version. I don't have it but it's included in some 5.5 roms.
The sync are working for you? i had scribble on m8 ported rom, with Google drive sync. Now installed it on m7 sense 6 rom but no notes after the sync.

A lot of people seem to be having Google file sync issues with Sense 6, like with Play Music. Not surprising it's not working with Scribble either.
