Hello, how are you?
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM stock (yakuj) with Android 4.0.4 and Facebook app 1.9.0.
I added my facebook account and have the facebook app installed. I also checked for syncing contacts under Settings-> account & sync.
However, none of my facebook contacts show up at People app.
I tried deleting the account and re-adding it but I still have nothing.
I also tried to re-install facebook app, and still nothing.
Besides, I also tried to show only the facebook contacts changing the settings at People app->contacts to display->customize, but It didn't work either.
Furthermore, I tried to follow the steps on the link bellow, and It didn't work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928393
Please, Does someone have any clue of what can be happening?
I can't figure out why my facebook contacts don't shows at People app.
I appreciate any help you can give me,
Roger
because facebook sync is broken in stock android.

Native Facebook contact syncing has been left out of Android since Gingerbread 2.3.4!
Roman from AOKP made a "fix" to get Facebook contacts to sync but ...
"Unfortunately, the "fix" breaks Picasa upload functionality and exposes all of your contact data insecurely. Facebook and Twitter need to update their applications to use the correct API introduced in IceCream Sandwich." - Peter Alfonso
This is why some dev's like Pete and Team Douche (Cyanogenmod) have not incorporated this "fix".
If you want your Facebook Contacts synced I would suggest buying HaxSync from the Play Store! That's what I did ... Cheers
Here is your solution: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&hl=en
It's not free, but it's well worth it. Works flawlessly and is under constant development.

Hello,
thanks a lot for helping.
Is HaxSync app the only workaround for this issue?
BTW, Is this an issue with Android 4.0.4, or Is this an issue of facebook app?
I mean, In order to fix this issue, Is the facebook app the one needed to be fixed(updated to use ICS API)?or Will we have to wait for a fix in the next ICS OTA?
I appreciate any help you can give me

I wouldn't think Facebook will correct this issue if for nothing else other than spite. Your best option is i believe HaxSync its only 99 cents (less than you pay for a coffee) and it securely syncs your contacts, calender events including birthdays and downloads hi-res images of your contacts too. It adds more functionality than the old native sync.

Hello blowtorch,
thanks a lot for helping again.
Sorry, It wasn't clear for me, is the issue on facebook app?or is the issue on Android platform itself?
BTW, I found out the workaround bellow:http://android.modaco.com/topic/350037-enabling-facebook-sync-in-ice-cream-sandwich/
Have someone tried it?
thanks in advance

Again, this is a facebook issue. Your easiest solution is to pony up 99 cents as I originally recommended, it'll give you everything you want and then some, I assure you.
Yes the other solution works, but it comes with other issues and requires a bit more effort. You can decide what's more worthwhile to you - spend the time and effort for a broken solution or spend 99 cents to get everything you need easily.

Actually..the API is there since 4.0.3. Facebook just doesn't care enough to implement it.
Team BAMF doesn't implement it either. Security and stability > feature.

no problem i do what i can
yes basically its the facebook app because its not doing it right ... there was some sort of back story there about fb not wanting to work with google on the issue because fb wanted to take all of the google (gmail) contacts information or something like that.
I think the facebook sync solution you have found there is how Roman from AOKP came up with the "fix" or workaround. That information is more for developers than end users like yourself and obviously is not an easy solution. Again this is not secure syncing either which is why a few respected developers refuse to implement it.
imo HaxSync is the way to go ... fb contacts, hi res images with time line and calendar sync so it offers more than the "fix"

i think facebook doesn't implement it out of spite because of the google plus is now a competing social network (and a better one if only people would adopt it)

FB sync doesn't work yet =/
(There is an option to sync fb at settings->account & sync, but It doesn't do anything)
BTW, have someone tried Friendcaster?
Thanks
I used to use Friendcaster to sync before I got HaxSync but it used to sync really low rez pictures that looked horrible. Don't know if they have fixed this issue since then but you could just try it out. The app is free anyway.

ok guys, i installed haxsync and can see my own picture in the phone book from my facebook profile but how do i get others in there?

Hello,

what about "Friends Sync/fsync"?
Has someone tried it?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.watto.program.android.sync.facebook
BTW, I´ve just received FB app update (version 1.9.1), but It doesn't fix the sync issue =/
thanks
theres an easy solution...just copy contacts provider from the aokp that worked and that fixes fb sync since the hack is incorporated in it
Greetings member, hope your all well...
Just downloaded the stock firemware again on the phone. Running good, and good to see my internal sd and RAM not full yet. Spent a while trying to find accurate info'/links on apks/system app/bloats etc that can be safety removed.... No such luck yet.
If any one has link/info' on safe apks/system app/bloats to remove it would be nice to know, and delete them soon..
Found this page, it's not very detailed and I reckon I would need some of the apks listed http://www.droidviews.com/list-of-b...ng-galaxy-devices-that-can-be-safely-removed/
I downloaded nobloat free yesterday, says it can move the aps to ex ds them re install later. I tried, can not re install on the apks I deleted already
Any info' on safe bloat ware removal would be great. Thanks guys n ' gals

Just mean't the info' is about the weather demon apk, saw a few bits on google about the battery consumption on it, that's all. Was a 'lazy' cut n paste..
Hey DMJoh, I have deleted the windy weather apk amonst others apks, though can see the apk for deleting the stockwall live and the news wall live paper. Know where these 2 apk are 'hidden' by any chance? There not on any root uninstaller list.
Thanks for any info',

You can use any Root File Explorer apps, i personally prefer Xplore, but it depends on your mindset.. Okay, whatever, see you can find these apks in /Root/system/app. If it is there, just simply delete it. If you want a backup copy move it to some other location, say External SD.
But understand removing live wallpaper picker may sometime creates FC. But am not sure about that, see to it.

I think the apk is livewallpaper picker something like that, am not sure, search a bit in dat folder.. Also see /Root/system/priv-app. But you should be careful deleting files in that folder. Sorry i cant exactly remember the name of those apks, am not on stock now!
There is an apk called SecWallpaperChooser.apk, its the app which chooses wallpaper, not live walls, so dont delete it,
You need superuser access that you can enable in Configuration menu of Xplore.

Chatwing is good many features , customize every aspect, embed into any web page, social login options, moderator controls, ban users. I integrate Chatwing chat room service to provide interactive element for my website - I highly recommend this.

It's important to be sure that the choosen chat solution can be embedded as a chat box (shoutbox).
Anyway, try Chatwee. Here is an article which should put some light on the must-have features:
blog.chatwee.com/2015/05/chat-room-for-live-streaming-sites when organizing live events.
I hope this helps!
Hi guys! Well I found something good on my own. Tried over 20 of them on the way.
After I tested like 20 of them I realized that none is as good as Rumbletalk is.
Why I like Rumbletalk? I can upload youtube videos, charts, works nice on phones, it is not a resourse hog and it is a safe application unlike many others chat application out there. You can also manage the design just as much as you want.
It really is the best html chat room application as I heard many times on the internet.
Well thanks for sharing but I wasn't satisfied with them at all. On the other hand Rumbletalk works really well. If any of you need help with instaling it or any other question about it you are free to send me a PM.

Guys Blinkfeed's News republic app has gotten on my nerves since HTC brought it in.
Is there an alternative news feed app that I can integrate into Blinkfeed?
Is there a folder I can put Google News and weather into so that will work or even my BBC news app or The Telegraph..
Anything is better than News Republic, none of the settings ever work. I don't get any of the news I select, just trite, tabloid nonsense.
You cant swap it but you can disable the app.

Yep but then what's on blinkfeed.
Where's the folder that has Highlights in it, you tube and the like.
Honestly, don't swap stuff out as you'll probably crash the phone. Besides, you need root access to change anything internal with the system apps.
You can customise blinkfeed. That will be your best option. Omit all the news stuff and have only youtube or whatever you use.
