Hey I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted or thought about this. The one thing I like about Sense that I have found irreplaceable in non-sense roms is the facebook sync which downloads high-res contact photos as opposed to the low quality blurry ones the official facebook app downloads. Sense also downloads your own profile picture. Now, maybe this is a crazy request but does anyone thing it may be possible to install just the facebook sync from Sense on a rom like CyanogenMod6.1.1? I would think it may require a bit of modifying to get it to run on a non-native rom.
The alternative will be to find some PC/Mac app that downloads contact pictures and syncs with gmail.
I have no ideas about what you are proposing,.... but you could give this a shot, never used it myself so give us some feedback if you try it boss.

It worked like a charm.
I was reluctant to try a desktop app because I'd have to install windows again to my Mac but it was well worth it. It allows you to select matches manually if auto-detect doesn't get it right (it's gets about 90% of them). And best of all, you get much higher resolution photos. Go back to the application once a week to update photos with one click. I highly recommend this, they just need to port it to Mac!
Excellent. I'll be doing the same later today.
If you don't mind can you just edit your thread title (edit 1st post,... go advanced,... change title) and just add [SOLVED] to the start of it. Nice one.
Hi
The fact is that the only thing I like from the htc sense is the way it links my google contacts with the facebook contacts, almost automatically.
is there a way to have that on a rom without sense?
Thanks!
In short, no. There are some apps that try to do this however none of them work anywhere nearly as well. If the contact has the exact same name as they do on facebook it will happen in stock by itself, however it is not as good.
Damn, just as i thought.

Thanks anyway!
hi
i'm looking for a software that can MERGE the contacts from GOOGLE,FACEBOOK and the phone itself in a single contact (preferably a .vcf file), instead of LINKING them with others.
due to this, now my DHD has 750 contacts instead of 380 initially.
can anybody refer me any app for this??
Sorry, i have no answer for this, but a small question that I thought it would fit in here, so theres no need for a new thread.
Is it possible to link your own contactcard to an existing contact/synch your own contactcard with google contacts?
I already had myself in my OS X Adresbook and Google contacts, as a result i had myself in double on my phone, so I copied all data to the personal contact card and deleted the old one, but it seems like this one does not get synchronised??
Any ideas to do this without yourself twice in contact list?
Hey everyone, sorry if I'm starting a thread in the wrong place. I've had a look around the site and can't find any relevant threads yet.
So long story short, rooted my evo 4g, worked fine. I wanted a little more out of it so i threw on the newest gingerbread build from cyanogenmod 7.
Needless to say, AWESOME.
So far everything I have played with that came with the build works although....
I cannot figure out how to sync the phone with my google market account or re-sync my contacts with my phone.
I did a full Nand backup twice right before performing the upgrades but i don't think it saved my contacts. I didn't bother saving my contacts another way because i thought i could just re-sync them with the google account but can't find any of this on this build.
Any pointers in resyncing all my contacts would be great as I would really like to have my evo sync up like before. Thanks ahead of time.
a) how did you post in the dev forum with no former posts? i thought they changed the rules...
b) you're right, wrong forum
c) you obviously knew you were in the wrong forum, because your first line apologizes for it, so i'm confused why you did it anyway...
d) maybe you didn't put google apps (gapps, which can be found here ) on your phone. that's why you haven't synced. cyanogen mod doesn't come with google apps .

a) signed up before the rule went into place.
b) %100 correct
c) see b)
d) nice of you to at least help. More than I would have done.
Did you try Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> [Your Google Account] -> Sync Contacts (check)?
Also to sync your Market account would be under Settings -> Privacy, but it's suggested you leave it off because it causes high CPU usage/wakelocks, unless that's been fixed.
nice rom

Coming from the HTC world I am loving my SII. Soooo much smoother and more responsive, not to mention the hardware improvements. One of the small things I am missing is the mail client on the HTCs. I loved how you could multi-select any or all emails on the screen and choose delete, mark read, etc. Is there a mod, theme, or anything that will allow the mail clients on the SII to do this? Or tell me I am just missing an option or something and its already there.
Thanks,
The Gmail app should do it automatically.
You can replace the Samsung app with AOSP Email or K9 (build on AOSP email), which will both allow multi-select.
K9 is no good on exchange 2010. Will AOSP work with exchange 2010? I will look for the app, if you have a link post it up please.
Thanks,
Found the AOSP email.apk. Tried to push it to system/apps but I got an error when trying to install. I had the folder mounted r/w and permissions set correctly. Is there a tutorial on how to push an AOSP mail.apk ?

So you were asking Calk's thread about "installing" something. That shouldn't have been an option at all during the process. At what point were you seeing that option?
You don't need to do anything outside of what I have listed here:
Download or extract the desired app apk and place it somewhere on your SD where you can find it (I highly recommend Dropbox for this)
Open Root Explorer (or ROM Toolbox Root Browser or ES or Other) and navigate to /system/app
Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, R/W is on by default in ROM Toolbox)
If this is a system app, long press existing apk and either move (if you want to keep it) or delete (if you don't care)
If moving, navigate to the place you want to store the original apk using the Parent Folder line at the top
Paste to the desired location then go to the place with the new/replacement system apk
Longpress the replacement apk and choose copy or move
Navigate back to /system/app (should still be mounted) and paste the replacement apk
Longpress the replaced apk and select permissions
On the permissions pop-up leave all three in the first column (Read) checked, only the top item in the middle column (Write) checked and none in the third column, (Execute) and nothing else checked.
Hit OK and enjoy! Your permissions should now read (rw-r--r--)

can one of you please confirm if aosp email.apk is working with exchange? and please post the AOSP email.apk. If needed I can test with the multiple exchange accounts I have... on calks rom, I am having issues forwarding emails...

Here is the apk. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I don't have to use Exchange any more so I can't test it, but i know I have seen many posts on this over the past year or so. A Google search will probably net you the best way to get AOSP mail and Exchange working together.
Also for future reference it is much easier to just extract any apk you want from a ROM zip than to wait for someone to post it. If you are unsure how to do that, hit the HowTo's link in my signature. that knowledge will give you much more control over your experience going forward and can help you fix all sorts of issues.

Good find. My previous tutorial had the screen shots as well. Makes life much easier. Not sure if this apk is different from the one I posted, but I'd go with his just in case. I am pushing it now to test. If it works the same, I'll replace the one I posted with the one from that thread.
EDIT: Looks like this is the same as the one I posted. At least the version is the same. I didn't go through each item in the apk, but xml's are the same and all of the file sizes are the same, so not sure about the "wakelock fix" mentioned. Anyway, gald you are taken care of.

yeah, that wake lock is annoying... i got it working, i tested both, and they are the same... 1 problem... i cant get the notifications to be right... after installing. I had a notification showing, that i couldnt get rid of, i cleared data, and fixed permissions, rebooted several times, and couldnt get it to go away... I just wish I could get the samsung version without wake lock... Hmmm
anyways, restored nandroid, and i guess i will deal with wake lock, unless you know how to fix the notification i had in email and social hub. it wouldnt go away/.
and YES Exchange works on Both!!!
I have tried all the suggestions and all that happens are FC's. Sucks cause I really wanted the multi select back.

WTF am I doing wrong then? I keep getting FC's. Can you walk me through your steps exactly please?
I think I got it. I was trying to install it on a stock rooted rom. I loaded up a different rom and it installed fine. I will run with it for a little while and see how it does. I am also having the notification issue.
Thanks for all the help.
Well i cant live with the non-clearing notifications issue...LOL. Oh well, looks like we will just have t wait for Samsung to fix it i guess. Bummer.
Thanks for all the help anyhow.

The real bummer is that it was free app of the day on Amazon a couple of weeks back. But yes it is a good app.
As far as the notifications, I've seen the fix somewhere, but I can't find it. The first time I saw it was in a Google search. If I find the source, I'll post it here.

I had my calender set up to display events in text for the monthly view (instead of just showing color code). Lost it when i flashed new rom. I have searched like crazy and can't find how I did it. Don't remember but I think it might have been a download that modified it. Anybody able to help?
Try either one of these. The top one is an updated one, but i never had much luck with it.
