Title says it all really, I had to install the social media.apk just to get facebook in blinkfeed
This seems like a huge step backwards I assume I'm missing something
Any info on this would be much appreciated
Probably part of the debloat. I use Sync.ME for the same features though.
I don't know if it did for the M8 or M9 either did it?

Do you know which apk controlled that? Just checked both devices and neither has Facebook contacts so it may be something I removed on the custom ROM.
I thought Facebook themselves killed that functionality a long time ago.
Hasn't worked on Samsung devices for a while. I'm wondering if it isn't a FB thing.

What the 10 doesn't have and I find a little odd is no Blinkfeed integration!
So it comes with Facebook and Messenger stubs but no Blinkfeed plugin.
It doesn't come with Twitter, but does come with a Twitter blinkfeed extension
It doesn't come with Google+, but does does come with a Google+ blinkfeed extension
;p

I'm not sure. All I know is that I could add my Facebook account and it'd match names and photos

I think at some point that was a Facebook feature that they killed off sadly.
Sync.me is a great tool for doing it tho!
My T-Mobile M8 did Facebook contact sync. I eventually reflashed to AT&T and lost that functionality. Later reflashed to the unlocked version and it was missing from that version by that time as well.
Just tried sync.me, wow it fixes what I've been missing for so long. How could I not have tried this app. I've tried so many others with no luck this works great thanks everyone

Yes but as far as I know sync.me only links facebook contact picture to contacts and no other information and it doesn't link the contact to their facebook page
Yes Facebook killed that feature. What worked for me on my M8, was to google facebook apk version 27(I may have the apk in dropbox). That version had the sync contact setting. Once you did this your contacts will be back and then you can update back to the latest fb apk.

This is the method for syncing fb contacts if you dont wish to install other apps. facebook removed the contact sync from the app a while ago and an old app is needed to sync them them updating the app is possible.

Nothing to do with HTC, it was Facebook who discontinued the feature unfortunately. Use Sync.ME.

I tried installing the older Facebook app and keep getting an "app not installed" error. Could it be because of the Facebook app already loaded on the device...even though it's not the full app?

I like how the Friendstream widget shows a full page of updates, yet the official Facebook widget doesn't - it's only showing one update and I need to either click the next button for more updates or just open the Facebook app. Is there a way to have the official Facebook widget display a full page of updates?
is there a reason you can't just use the friendstream widget?

I'm currently using the Friendstream widget along with the Facebook app. If the Facebook widget would display in a full page link Friendstream, I could use just that, rather than a widget and an app. Maybe fussy... but then I am!
I'm now using Facebook due to my friendstream crashing everytime I open it. I got half a page for fb and half touiteur so its alright

Do you have an error log for your crashes in FriendStream?
I have the same "problem" !
The best thing for me would be a FriendStream widget modified to choose what app to use when an item is tapped (twitter official app for tweets for exemple).
Does anyone know a widget like that ?
I think friendstream is nice just because it's scollable... but I like it...
As far as I can see, the friendstream does not have any implementation of INBOX or anything else like it, which is a major con. The Facebook app does, and even displays notifications for messages and pokes.

You're right, it's a major con.
Anyway, I can't find any widget like I want. Except "pure messenger widget" witch doesn't support HTC sense for scrolling...
If someone know such a widget, let us know !

Facebook is the only social networking site I use so I don't use friendstream much. With Friendstream, your an easy target for facebook rapes, found out the hard way!
Does Friendstream have the message, contacts, and calendar Sync like how the blackberry facebook app does?
So to get it correct, friendstream is JUST to look through updates...if you wanted to look at profiles, etc, you would have to use the facebook app?

Where is the INBOX on the facebook app? I thought it was a policy that FB would not allow any access to the INBOX from an app. security reasons? the only way is to surf to FB using the browser? Am I missing the Inbox part of the app?
I wish devs like cyo can make a facebook status updater that says its being updated from there app/rom for example "sent via facebook for cyanogenmod"
anybody have a problem updating status or make a comment on facebook via friendstream? coz i have n it happened only for facebook while for twitter it works brilliant.

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.

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.
Hello guys!
I am actually one of the few that enjoys Samsung's SNS thingy - I open up a contact and see their Facebook status and whatnot.
I also change ROMs often, and I end up reinstalling or restoring all the SNS components, which forces me to re-join contacts, manually delete duplicate birthdays and whatnot.
Is there a replacement you know of? I mean, an independent contacts app which syncs to Google and Facebook (and possibly Twitter, LinkedIn) and does the contact management externally? That way, whenever I install a new ROM, I will just restore this app and have my contacts as they should.
Any help would be appreciated!

I tried googling it but didn't find any. Can you post the market link?
I am trying to replace the stock contact app altogether - it may sync with Google, but I want it to be rom-independent. Like Dolphin to browsers and GoSMS to messages.

Tried them both. They both don't help as they just display the existing contacts - so I am still required to use Samsung's SNS to sync the Facebook data. My point is to stop using SNS but remain with the same functionality.
I'm giving up
Probably forfeit the need to use the SNS features.
Is anyone else having sync issues with Facebook? I downloaded the application and I was able to login successfully, but it still isn't showing up under accounts or in my contacts. I have checked the contacts settings to make sure it was set to display Facebook contacts, but the option was not there. I uninstalled Facebook and then reinstalled and added the account using the android accounts menu but after entering my information it still failed to show up. If anyone has figured out a solution, or has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. I will keep trying on my end and post here if I figure it out. Thanks!

Interesting. Looking at his twitter, it seems that there's even an alpha3.
It seems strange that he would update his post (last updated on 12-25) and not include the most up-to-date version of the ROM, since that's the point of the post. It makes me wonder if the what works, what doesn't work, what's new, etc. that he lists corresponds to alpha1 or alpha3.
But, I digress. Thanks for answering my question

Hi. I know in previous versions of Facebook you could sync contacts (numbers/photos ect)
Does anybody know how to do this on the n4, or a way to import all the contacts photos and numbers?
I have already gone into settings>accounts and set contacts to sync from there but no luck
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Ice Cream Sandwich and later versions of android don't allow Facebook contact syncing. My understanding is that this was because the way that Facebook had been allowed to do it in the past was a kludgy system that wasn't the same as the api available to other developers. Until Facebook decides to use the standard api, you have to use as third party app to make it work. I use one that's popular called Haxsync.

It is fantastic. You can sync your fb contacts - chose to sync those that match a contact you already have, or sync all.
It will also sync your fb calendar events and/or birthdays which I find really useful
+1 Haxsync. It syncs everything you might want and you can configure the sync in many ways.
It's not free though.
User that or Friendcaster for Facebook.

Does Haxsync still work in JB 4.2? If so do you need the app plus the work around?

You need the workaround. If you install just the app, it prompts you on first launch to install the workaround.
Haxsync works great.
