Appbrain is better for me because I can see paid apps...

Alas, still cannot buy paid apps. It checks your carrier and if your country doesn't support paid apps, you don't get to do so online.

Is it correct that I cannot take a "backup" of my apps and reinstall from web after a flashing??? Too bad

I just tried to log on, but I get a certification failure, and if I comtinue the address is on a red background.

Works great. Click on it on your computer and it downloads and installs on your phone. My old eyes love this.

When i flash my phone, so all installed apps are deleted.. but this website shows me that the apps which i have installed before the flash are currently installed, too?
How can it be reactualized so that the online market shows me the apps correct..

Although you wiped your phone, you probably had your settings set up to back up your application information and to restore after an install. You can check that by going into Settings, and then Privacy. My ROM (aosp-CMod-20110201) has this feature, so whenever I wipe, format and flash a new update, all my apps are restored.

Very nice, this is how market should be.
Both free and paid apps work for me (Voda-NL) and get pushed straight to the phone, very convenient.

Hmm exciting?
as someone else already mentioned and shares my opinion:
appbrain rules. showing pay and free apps and relations.
So far I stick to appbrain.

Still think it should be possible to save your applist as of now so you can reinstall after a factory reset...

[Q] Is there a way to get Facebook Sync to work?

I really rely on Facebook contacts sync as it has pretty much all the numbers i need. I know there are apps like Friendcaster and Haxsync but those do not sync the numbers with the profiles. My GNex is running stock 4.1 right now and it is rooted I believe, since i rooted it myself last night (i think i did it right). Is there something that will allow me to Facebook Sync my contacts and still keep the standard OS without noticing anything changed. Or i guess in other words, how can i quickly enable it so that it can sync and then delete whatever i put to enable it to do that so that I am back at square one just this time with all my contacts I would backup and put on my computer. Using a standard GSM Gnex on the latest Jellybean update, I hope I was descriptive as possible. Also I am a noob so please don't go too crazy on me, I've never actually done any of this stuff but i just want my contacts so i can use the stock until im comfortable doing more of this

HaxSync from the play store. Even import birthdates to calendar.

Download Friendcaster from the app store, just run it side by side with the official FB app. I did that for my fiance, even though friendcaster is more robust.
She loves it now though because she can finally get realtime push notifications from facebook

I don't think you guys are understanding what I am saying lol, I understand these apps give you the contacts. This is what I want yes, but what they lack is adding the contacts WITH the phone NUMBERS. I want the the phone numbers. I am trying to get the phone numbers of with the contacts lol am i clear yet :crying:

Exactly. I want numbers too. I have like 5 people synced to my Google account. The rest are on Facebook. Friend caster only syncs them to my "people" app. If I go to the phone app the numbers aren't there. When I open the menu and select "choose contacts to display" I select friend caster and it says 0 contacts. Looking for contacts phone numbers not just names and HD photos...

Custom ROMs usually have Facebook sync working fine, you could also search how to modify a stock google image to allow facebook sync, if I'm not mistaken you'll need root and busybox, you will need to edit a text file and run a script that will update a database in your phone... Unfortunately I don't have this information handy, so, you'll need to search for it if you want to modify stock rom (remember, you need root), or, you can always use custom roms that do not have this limitation.

I've flashed about 2 ROMs now that claimed to allow the facebook sync and they haven't worked lol can anyone direct me to one that actually does work and they know first hand? I'm going to look into that busybox editting text file business now in the meantime.

Lol Hino, what ROMs have that actually working? JB ROMs at least. I've tried just about all of them and I didn't have numbers from Facebook on any one of them.

Do you think you could link me to the ROMs that actually have the Facebook sync working properly, or link me to a thread that walks me through how to use busybox to bypass this stuff. I've honestly tried everything and searched since you posted this and nothing I can find works.

I don't think there is any that works the way you want, sorry. Is a fb issue. If that is a must have for you, maybe you will have to try another phone.... a shame

Can you please tell me which ROMs i can install to have this done ? Can i install that ROM and then export my contacts into my computer and revert to stock and import them again? or will that not work either? even so what is the custom rom i can use, i've used tons that claim it but none perform it

I thought that too. If you go to "Contacts" your fb friends show up, no numbers or other info though. Nothing in "Phone"

You tried to export them? There must be a way once you do get the contacts synced to save them into the phone and not just under the synced profile that way you can export them. I tried to export them off my other phone running gingerbread and put them onto my Gnex but it was a no-go the file i extracted had 0 bytes for some reason it just didn't want to export the contacts at all.. Was hoping it was still possible but I suppose its not

This is from Facebook site. Only option I found for you, would be to export them and add them to Gmail.

I guess there is no way to bypass this at all. I checked that out and the extension is deleted and with more research apparently this used to work until facebook updated their coding so it doesn't work anymore.

The app is certainly there on a fresh install, you must have accidentally uninstalled as I did. When you look at the app description it reads the compatibility is for ARM processors only. This was a change that occurred after an update to Windows and native apps on the 9th. I am having the same problem. If you create a new offline user profile, the Music app installs by default but I can't figure out a way to copy that app and bring it over to the primary user account. Sure is frustrating

ARM processors...? Where did you read that? And no, I honestly didn't even touch the computer when it was installing so no way in hell did I uninstall it accidentally...so I will try to create a default profile and see if I can do something... thanks for your reply...

When you install the app it warns you that tablets are not supported. Hope that won't cause functionality issues. Probably just a ppi thing.

Shame you can only have one account per device. They should open this up so you can sync your account across multiple devices.

1- clear ALL data from WhatsApp on your tablet (including the apk itself at the end)
2- install DataSync on both your phone and your tablet (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quintstoffers.DataSync.beta)
3- re-install WhatsApp on your tablet and DON'T open it just yet
4- using DataSync, transfer your phone's WhatsApp data to your tablet (using whatever method you prefer) [tutorials on how to do that can be found on Google, look them up if you need to]
5- open WhatsApp on your tablet and notice how it doesn't ask you to re-activate your account on the device (for all the app knows, it's the same device)
I've done it like this on all my devices and i forgot about re-activating the account on each device, every single time I've used WhatsApp on either of them ^_^
PS- the conversations don't get synced on all devices unless all of them are turned on at the time of the conversations, but at least you don't have to keep activating and re-activating the freaking thing every single time you use it

Well, i haven't had to repeat the process yet and I've updated the app twice now, so I'm guessing as long as the data is there and it's an update, it doesn't affect anything, but we all know how developers can do things one way now and then change their minds... so for now, you're safe.

Why should it show up in play store? Maybe the screen dpi or something needs to get updates in the app to show up. If you installed it from the source I send, you should be able to use it. No need to update

I can't be bothered to keep manually checking if a new version comes out etc so was hoping perhaps installing apk would force it to show in the play store. Plus I still can't get rid of the HTC people app.
DPI seemed fine to me so not sure why it's not there.
