Which rom's allow faceboock calendar sync? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I'm looking for a gingerbread rom that has facebook calendar sync. I remember being on one that allowed it. But I don't remember which one and don't wanna try flash through each one to find it.

Virtuous 2.0 has it
Just checked my Virtuous 2.0 Calendar, and under the Menu -> More -> Calendars I see the facebook calendar as one of the ones I have.

That's a Sense feature. AOSP ROMs seem to not have it. Kinda sad. Maybe when Facebook hopefully updates the app to solve the Contact Sync policy issue with Google, they will add calendar support ? Fat chance, I know. But it's nice to dream

+1. Your best bet is to flash a Sense based ROM. I haven't seen any app (yet) that allows for your facebook calendar to be synced. If you do find one though (an app) let us know! As much of a fan as I am to Sense, I'm hooked on ICS at the moment and just waiting patiently for an ICS ROM with Sense 4.0 =)

Facebook vs Friendstream

I like how the Friendstream widget shows a full page of updates, yet the official Facebook widget doesn't - it's only showing one update and I need to either click the next button for more updates or just open the Facebook app. Is there a way to have the official Facebook widget display a full page of updates?
is there a reason you can't just use the friendstream widget?

I'm currently using the Friendstream widget along with the Facebook app. If the Facebook widget would display in a full page link Friendstream, I could use just that, rather than a widget and an app. Maybe fussy... but then I am!
I'm now using Facebook due to my friendstream crashing everytime I open it. I got half a page for fb and half touiteur so its alright

Do you have an error log for your crashes in FriendStream?
I have the same "problem" !
The best thing for me would be a FriendStream widget modified to choose what app to use when an item is tapped (twitter official app for tweets for exemple).
Does anyone know a widget like that ?
I think friendstream is nice just because it's scollable... but I like it...
As far as I can see, the friendstream does not have any implementation of INBOX or anything else like it, which is a major con. The Facebook app does, and even displays notifications for messages and pokes.

You're right, it's a major con.
Anyway, I can't find any widget like I want. Except "pure messenger widget" witch doesn't support HTC sense for scrolling...
If someone know such a widget, let us know !

Facebook is the only social networking site I use so I don't use friendstream much. With Friendstream, your an easy target for facebook rapes, found out the hard way!
Does Friendstream have the message, contacts, and calendar Sync like how the blackberry facebook app does?
So to get it correct, friendstream is JUST to look through updates...if you wanted to look at profiles, etc, you would have to use the facebook app?

Where is the INBOX on the facebook app? I thought it was a policy that FB would not allow any access to the INBOX from an app. security reasons? the only way is to surf to FB using the browser? Am I missing the Inbox part of the app?
I wish devs like cyo can make a facebook status updater that says its being updated from there app/rom for example "sent via facebook for cyanogenmod"
anybody have a problem updating status or make a comment on facebook via friendstream? coz i have n it happened only for facebook while for twitter it works brilliant.

HTC Desire + Hotmail

hey guys,
Apparently, since all of us stock Telus Desire owners are on 2.1, there is a problem with HTC Mail connecting to Hotmail through exchange (m.hotmail.com). Not sure if Telus is planning on fixing this when 2.2 is out (if ever, tabernac).. But what have some of you guys done to get this to work in the interm?
Some people were able to switch to Android mail which apprently works.. How do you get that exactly? I'm new to Android and still finding my way around..
Other people have tried third party software like K-9 and what not, apparently they work too.
Any feedback would be great!
anyone? this is really stressing me out..
I have my gmail account pick up my hotmail emails and use the gmail app (which uses IMAP).
otherwise, is there a problem with using the mail app and pop3 rather than exchange?
I would tell you exactly how I set it up, but I lost the friggen thing a week ago. New one on its way *thanks insurance*
with pop3, u wont be able to see the other folders or synch your emails to your mobile (ie, if u delete an email on mobile, it wont in your inbox..)
Use gmail its pretty good but sometimes 3rd party apps are good too.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It doesnt really help when someone says they want to use hotmail then the solution you're proposing is to use gmail.. :\
I'm not telling use gmail, I said it was good but if you really wanna use Hotmail just get a 3rd party app.

Cant find improved email in the market.. is it because I'm still running 2.1 and that is a 2.2 app?
I thought 2.2 resolves the hotmail issue anyways without having to make any changes?

What??? I am confused as to what you want. Do you have a sense rom. Is it custom or stock. If you want to sync Facebook contacts with regular contacts and you have a sense based custom rom you should have no problem unless you or the rom Creator deleted the Facebook for HTC apk. That is the one that syncs Facebook contacts to regular contacts.
Or you could search the market for an app that will sync the contacts together. I know there is one there but I forgot the name of the app. Just go over to the market and do a search.

[Q] HTC Sense Droid Inc2 - FB contact Linking?

I would like to find out if there's an app for syncing my phone contacts with their fb accounts? I'm on Mod Version: cyanogenmod7-09292011-NIGHTLY-inc2. Thanks
I think you should be able to use the official facebook app. When you install that, the first time you run it it asks you if you want to import your facebook contacts.
Not sure though, I haven't installed it recently.
Thanks, but I think its because I'm still using nightly builds of cm7 without the 3.0 sense I'm not able to link contacts via fb.

Uhh...no. that shouldn't be it. I've used cyanogen. The contacts automatically link for me usually, just by me clicking "Sync with existing contacts."

Ditto, it does the same for me. There is an app on the market called SyncMyPix which does this if you can't get the FB sync to work right.

Sense uses Facebook for HTC Sense which does this.
On CM7 just sync within facebook app.
Easy as pie. If you are having issues then clear data within app and reinstall. You should be able to get it to work on first shot.

HTC 10 No longer scapes Facebook for contacts

Title says it all really, I had to install the social media.apk just to get facebook in blinkfeed
This seems like a huge step backwards I assume I'm missing something
Any info on this would be much appreciated
Probably part of the debloat. I use Sync.ME for the same features though.
I don't know if it did for the M8 or M9 either did it?

Do you know which apk controlled that? Just checked both devices and neither has Facebook contacts so it may be something I removed on the custom ROM.
I thought Facebook themselves killed that functionality a long time ago.
Hasn't worked on Samsung devices for a while. I'm wondering if it isn't a FB thing.
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
What the 10 doesn't have and I find a little odd is no Blinkfeed integration!
So it comes with Facebook and Messenger stubs but no Blinkfeed plugin.
It doesn't come with Twitter, but does come with a Twitter blinkfeed extension
It doesn't come with Google+, but does does come with a Google+ blinkfeed extension
;p

I think at some point that was a Facebook feature that they killed off sadly.
Sync.me is a great tool for doing it tho!
My T-Mobile M8 did Facebook contact sync. I eventually reflashed to AT&T and lost that functionality. Later reflashed to the unlocked version and it was missing from that version by that time as well.
Just tried sync.me, wow it fixes what I've been missing for so long. How could I not have tried this app. I've tried so many others with no luck this works great thanks everyone

Yes but as far as I know sync.me only links facebook contact picture to contacts and no other information and it doesn't link the contact to their facebook page
Yes Facebook killed that feature. What worked for me on my M8, was to google facebook apk version 27(I may have the apk in dropbox). That version had the sync contact setting. Once you did this your contacts will be back and then you can update back to the latest fb apk.

This is the method for syncing fb contacts if you dont wish to install other apps. facebook removed the contact sync from the app a while ago and an old app is needed to sync them them updating the app is possible.

Nothing to do with HTC, it was Facebook who discontinued the feature unfortunately. Use Sync.ME.

I tried installing the older Facebook app and keep getting an "app not installed" error. Could it be because of the Facebook app already loaded on the device...even though it's not the full app?
