Hey all,
What I'm looking for sounds simple to me, but seems to be a challenge.
I want to sync facebook, now you will say haxsync or friend caster, but they don't sync phone numbers. I'm looking for a way to make the stock Facebook app sync with the phone
Thanks
Only way is to use a rom that allows you to flash a facebook sync mod like this where it enables it on the rom or has it already built in.
Its taken out of the stock rom thats why everyone recommends HaxSync, I'm sure you already know this but adding a Facebook account on the stock rom doesn't do anything.

Thanks for the fast reply!
I've been using haxsync for awhile, but only just realized it doesn't sync numbers. Checking out the link you posted
Thanks!

Try Contapps in the market... it syncs with Facebook and if there are those that don't sync (different spelling, etc.) then you can manually link them to whatever contacts to facebook friends...
i was looking for this as well and i came across this thread for ICS FB sync. it worked for me! (but u should backup first, just in case)

That ROM is for ICS..will the mod work for stock JB?

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.
I understood that the new facebook 1.9.1 would sync contacts with ICS but I do not have this option in my GNex with stock 4.0.4.
Anyone else?

It doesn't sync at this time. It shows as an account you can sync, but falls to sync when you tell it to. Google blocks Facebook from sync at this time. Read the other thread about this same topic that was posted yesterday.

well my problem is that I don't even have the option to sync in the accounts manager 9see attached screenshot)
can you pls point me to the thread?
You should keep in mind that facebook copies all of your contact data onto their servers.
This really upset me when I found out about it, so I deleted the facebook app from my devices.

Hi there, Facebook syncing is a feature that I miss from a custom ICS rom I used to have. I read somewhere that there might be JB Roms that support this feature but I haven't been able to find one, so before I give up I want ask you directly.
Now before you answer make sure to read this, what I am truly looking for are the numbers and not anything else, so please don't redirect me to HaxSync or FriendCaster because I don't care about high-res pictures or calendar events. If there is a third party app that can sync numbers i'll happily take it. If there really is no way to workaround this issue then, oh well. Thanks for your time guys.
Maybe Haxsync will work

There is a workaround to just copy & replace ur contactproviders.apk
I have used it on a jb rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35867380
It enables u to sync contacts with pics. No calendar though
Make sure to backup orig file. Replace. Set permissions. Reboot. Clear fb, contacts cache. Reboot. U do have to manually join.
But for now m happy w/o getting any extra app can sync

Working on BlackBean, just hit sync on Facebook app... all my contacts and numbers are in People
I'm not too picky on my ROMs, I just really need my Facebook sync back.
I tried the replace contacts.apk method and failed miserably. I'd much rather just flash a ROM that has it already fixed.
Thanks Care,

You can use the haxsync app to sync contacts. It works really well for me!

Bought it
It said it sync'd. I went into my phone contacts, nothing. I went into accounts to make sure it was enabled and it was and it said it had sync'd.
Rebooted, still nothing.

Go to contact, menu, contacts to display, select haxsync open and check all contacts. If your on JB there's also a second part to the haxsync app called haxsync jb workaround app. Download that also

After installing the BMS kernel (I don't think the kernel itself should be the issue, but upon installation of it is when this started), my email will not auto synch. I have to go in and manually synch it.
I'm on the DevianXone ROM 2.0b5.
I just went ahead and install lthe Gmail client, and it does synch.
Any thoughts?
BTW...I have cleared Dalvik and Cache, still no workee.
What ROM are you using?
LiquidSmooth v2.5
Go into settings-> accounts-> Google and make sure gmail is turned ON to sync .
If ROM doesn't come with gmail preloaded you'll always get this if you just download from market.

Thanks. Yes, that's good to go.
It seems to be related to the email app. I say that because GMail does synch (I installed it after this posting), but Email app does not.
