Facebook integration

Iv spent the last few days reading up on several roms & searching through the replies to them hoping to find one that consistantly allows facebook integration. By facebook integration im talking about matching contacts on your phone to their profile pictures online etc.
Iv googled it aswell & apparently it does work on the standard ROMs, which makes me wonder why it isnt implemented on many of the latest custom ROMs?
Don't spose anyone could shed any light on this could they?
thanks guys

Surely someone has a custom ROM with Facebook integration working?

EnergyROM works (kinda). It will find people with facebook profiles and update their pictures. If you go to events though, it only shows some of my friends status updates. But if I go to the individual contact and hit "update", it will then update their status.....

Hmmm...its one of the energy ROMs im using atm (leo) and iv manually linked (i thought it did it automatically - or do you still have to do it manually?) it to a profile(gf's) and its brought up her birthday & last status but no display pic. This is after several attempts to update it.
Is there a trick to getting it to work?
thanks

If you have a pic already set for a contact, delete it. Delete the link to facebook. Then relink your contact to facebook and make sure the box "save photo" is checked. This should load the facebook pic.

I've tried this on a few roms and it still doesn't grab the photo. I wasn't actually aware that it was an issue with custom roms solely but come to think of it, it worked "ok" with the original rom and i'm lucky to have saved a few pictures from the little time I used it.
Im currently using athineOS and i've tried everything I could think of and it still won't work. The only luck I do have is if I open up the link contact option and leave the list open it starts downloading all the pictures when you hit refresh. Unfortunately it stops after about 40 or so friends and if you scroll further down the list you get nothing.
Hopefully someone will have some luck soon.

i'm having the problem where i can't even connect to facebook at all.
are any of y'all having this problem as well?

At least im not the only one then, it does seem 2 be an issue with the custom ROMs, both of the ENERGYroms cant do it aswell.
Hopefully with a few more voices the chefs might implement it in the future. All iv managed to get it to do so far is bring up my gfs birthday.

So far iv managed to get the contacts to appear in the contact/facebook panel. So it lists the contacts and the Facebook profiles appear there, however thats as far as it goes. The phone wont link them to the actually contacts lists in the phone panel, or your favourite panel!
Using the energy Leo ROM atm. Any advice on getting it to work would be greatly appreciated!

[Q] Facebook photo upload not working

Uploading photos to facebook does not work for me.
The behavior is the same both when selecting photo upload from the facebook app, or when chosing to share to facebook from the gallery.
The upload progress in statusbar looks good and finishes, but then an error message is displayed in the statusbar that the transfer failed.
When initiating the upload from facebook a "popup" mesage that the photo could not be added is also displayed.
I tried wipe facebook cache and data and reinstall the app but that didn't solve anything.
I'm on AOKP build25 & franco kernel 18.6.
Anyone else with the same problem?

I have the same problem, haven't found a way to fix it though... I'm running pure stock.

Ok, so at least I'm not alone....
Good to know that the problem exist also on stock. I wasn't sure if I ever tested it before I flashed a custom rom.

Did you try clearing the app's cache? Logging back in and trying to upload a pic again?

Yes, I wiped cache and data and even reinstalled the app.

Facebook's app is the worst written in Android history. It isn't your fault- they just can't write an update without breaking something. It's a known issue.

Possible solution
It's maybe a little late to offer a solution, but today I finally found out what could be the problem:
I normally share my pictures with "All friends, except ... " (please excuse wrong translation; don't know how it's called in English) and all my picture uploads failed without exception. Today I wanted to share a picture with "All" my friends and... it work perfectly! I tried some more and it seems my problems are gone.
So my possible solution:
-> You have to share with "all", not with some groups or with excluded people. The Facebook App and mobile site is too stupid to work with its own lists.
When creating a new post, just tap the little gear in the lower right corner and select share with "all". It's no solution for pics you don't want to show everyone of course, but it's the only workaround that allows you to upload at all.

After trying a couple things, such as clearing the app data/cache, reinstalling the app from the market, etc. I suspect that this is related more to the APN settings on the phone. I tested this by switching the APN on my AT&T Galaxy Nexus from the Tweakker APN settings (failed to upload pics/videos) to the original CINGULAR 410 (works like a charm, although it takes forever to upload). For reference, the Tweakker settings had the APN as "phone".
Hope this helps.

So, did you read my post above? I'm almost sure it makes all the difference. Tested this with a couple of friends and it works for everyone.

it is enough to only have one list of selfmade friend list. U do not have to share to "all" but u can make list of friends that can see your pictures, call it for example "see mypic friends" and only have that in the . But if u share it to: "see mypic friends" and "mom and dad" at the same it fails

Duplicate file app?

Hey what's up guys. I've searched the Market and messed around with different apps and file explorers with no luck. I want to clean up my duplicate files on this phone.
I've tried the Pro version of SDMaid. Something with that app and the ICS ROMS I've been on aren't playing well together. SDMaid is not recognizing the Pro version. I've tried a couple other duplicate file apps and the pain in the a#s part of it is is these apps will only let me delete one duplicate file at a time. I have something around 1500 duplicate files.
So basically I'm looking for an app or procedure so that I can delete duplicate files.
1500 is a little ridiculous.
TIA guys.

Plug it into PC so u can use a mouse lol sorry

If you send me a mail, i'm sure i can fix your sd maid issue, if not i can grant you a refund.
The problem is there is no smart automatic procedure for selecting which duplicate file to keep.
You can try by modified date, path length or random, but it will never be a 100% correct.
Imagine the case of a two mp3 files, both duplicates (maybe with a different name, but same content).
One in a directory called "Single X - Artist Y" and one in a directory called "Best of Artist Y".
How can a computer know, which one to keep, or if none should be deleted, although they are duplicates.
Yeah well, we could use one of the methods and just be okay, as one copy will always be left.
But this will almost certainly lead to lots of users going "OMG can't find my files", when the remaining copy is not where they exspect it to be.

Pm sent. Not concerned about a refund. From the great info you provided it really doesn't sound like the issue is app related.
Thanks for the useful info and look forward to hearing back from ya.

[Q] Instant upload and gallery

Hi guys.
So I've been using Instant upload for a long time now and I like the option to have extra copies of my images stored in the cloud in case something happens to my phone or something like that. Everything works great except one thing.
From time to time I get new folders in gallery, albums of pictures that are already in the main "Instant Upload" album are showing up alone. Sorted in the Y/M/D format (usually). That wasn't a big deal, I downloaded Perfect Tool for Picasa and dealt with it by deleting extra albums, and only leaving album "Instant Upload" undeleted. And for a few days everything is good again. And a few weeks back problems started, by problems I mean something that Google changed. New captured pictures are uploaded but put into the separate folders and again, sorted by date. That just looks ugly in the Gallery.
So my question is next.
Is it possible to keep the option for Instant Upload but make it not visible in the Gallery ? I'd really like that.
If there's the need to use a different Pictures Viewer, let it be.
Please, someone answer.
Thank you for reading.

I think you have to uncheck the synchronization with Instant Upload and Google Photos in accounts' settings, then clear gallery's cache if needed.

But won't that disable uploading photos to the cloud ?

Still need help with this, if anyone knows anything about how this works, please help out.

I'm having the exact same experience. Apparently it's a known issue and Google is already working on a resolution.

P.S. This is not a Gnex specific issue... it's happening on all phones.

Facer issues

Just wondering if anyone is experiencing the same issue I'm having where some faces on facerepo will not transfer into the app. The latest face is the recent skull one.

I don't know if I'm correct in this, and I'm not sure I know everything there is to know about it, but I assume it's the .zips that aren't working for you? Look what's in it. If there are a few files like a preview.png, some .json files, maybe some font files, then extract that to a folder, and put that folder in /sdcard/Facer on your phone. So you folder structure will be /sdcard/Facer/[whateverfoldername]/[bunchoffiles]. Now look in Facer and see if it sees it. Hopefully, it does.
Again, I'm kinda new to this but apparently Facer used to do this .zip method for faces, then they went to .face files which allowed the import method you use in the app.

Pretty sure it's just a bug in Facer. I have had it fail to properly update many times.

Thanks guys always seems to happen to faces i really like lol

It generally always works in the end, sometimes I have to transfer the face multiple times. And sometimes the watch app crashes. I've had a black screen before but eventually always get the face to display.
