FACEBOOK app on contacts after ROM UPDATE

Anybody managed to restore the Facebook links to your contacts after a Hard Reset or a ROM UPDATE ?
Because I have like 177 contacts that also has Facebook links to their contacts.
I don't want to link each 177 contact one by one after the ROM UPDATE .
Anybody found a smart solution for this ?
???????

i found there is a file called facebookinfo.vol ..
is that the file records everything?
wait me a moment...
U can use splbackup to test it..

yes there s a quick way.
1. Make sure that you've configured your facebook account at settings->my ocntact card
2. go to all all people, then choose the 3rd icon "updates and Events"
3. Use this page to all TP2 to auto search facebook contacts to match with existing contacts (this assumes taht you've synced your phone and updated your contaacts already. thsi should be done before step 1)

Yes and I have to do that 177 times, I'm just looking for a easier method.
Also there is another reality, not all of my contacts are stored in the same name as their Facebook accounts :
For example..... "Richard Mobile" as seen on my phone, but on his Facebook it shows Richard XXXX , so I must manually link the contact to facebook link.
The very best idea is to copy some files before Rom Update and then Replace these files with the new ones after the Rom Update.
I need to know which files are these ???

Mine did it one pass with minimal intervention. It knew which ones weren't synced and made it made a best-guess and presented me with a list of them all in one go.
I suspect the Facebook integration is done via a hidden field in the Contact. If you can determine that you can reset it to force it.

just backup your facebookinfo.vol and pim.vol. Tried it and works.

This sounds interesting, can you confirm all contacts linked perfectly and updating correctly as it should do ?

facebook
I Don't even have anything to show a link with facebook in my people tab. On other HTC phones I have seen an "updates and events" tab, should this be present on the TP2?
I would like to retrieve the details from my Facebook frields list etc, but I can't see anyway of doing this in the people tab

[Q] Note 8 issue with play store

hi i have recently got a galaxy note 8.0 and was wondering if anybody had any issues with it.
My particular problem is that when i try to search apps on google play store i cannot seem to find what i am looking for. for example some of the apps i have tried searching are whatsapp, viber, angry birds space and a few others and couldnt find any of thee. wen i press the search button, type whatsapp, the actual app does not come up but i get things like whatsapp wal paper, smileys, sounds etc.
anyone have any idea why this is and how to resolve it ?

Disabling system apps and bloatware list anyone?

Im looking for a list of standard system apps I can disable along with any bloatware (other than the obvious Sprint apps) that I can disable. A list of recommendations or the like wound be great if anyone can point me in the right direction please.
Thanks for your time...

I would love this also - for MM 6.0.1

I extracted the 6.0.1 update & deleted all the apps that i didnt wanted basically all sprint & some google & Samsung apps. Went from 1.78gb to 1.2gb... everything works like it supposed to...just dont know if it will have the same effect by doing it with titanium. .honestly i dont wanna find out lol...

Unzip the rom.. Go through system /apps & system/priv-apps you can pretty much tell what is what. Remove the folders you don't want (deodexed roms}
Then re zip the rom and voila!
Place the removed folders in corresponding folders on your pc so you know what you took out.
Of course you can use titanium backup to freeze apps (recommended ) and if all is well uninstall them and in the future you'll know what is safe to remove.

Great info ,thanxs

Doing the process now, once I've flashed the modified ROM and it works I'll post details. FYI, this is my first time but it seems straightforward enough.

I just took the sourced link and edited his script file to match ours it worked flawless
note: it does get rid of SFinder and QConnect bar
So edit that out if you don't want That removed.
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B37pWIqfNmDxemZrSE9LNWZwRms&export=download
Edit to your liking and make a zip with it if anyone wants i can make one for you. just send me back the edited code
Found this here: so credit to this guyfor the script he has zips but its for the international phone.

Cool. Looking forward to your zip.
Thank You very much for taking your time to share your work.

awesome can't wait!
let us know how the phones battery is.

ive seen the phone battery perform worse than Lollipop, but to early to say, as ive just reflashed and wiped everything, plus had pulled the battery a few times, so it needs calibration, overall seems more responsive, the new animations are really nice, GoodLock is the cherry on the cake, makes i tfeel like a brand new phone.
My list is a cocktail of the note 4 lollipop list above and some s7 and s7e , s6 bloatware list , since the core remains the same , figured it should work and it seems like it has .

This is the list that i have used, all seems well so far , just trying to have the email app configured, it isnt picking up settings, rest all seems fine, pls note when rebuilding the zip, leave compression to support old devices, if you use tooo high a compression , the phone would not be able to unpack, i had this issue the first time around.

My good sir, you are the real MVP. Many thanks for your hard work! Just unzipped tx's PC1 stock deodexed rom and deleting the bloatware to try it out. So after deleting, I just compress and flash with TWRP?

Question Messages By Google Not working on EU rom

Does anyone know how to make messages by google work on EU roms? I'm on latest stable on poco f4 and I can't seem to make it work. I granted it as default aoo but it is not working. Can't even compose a message at all. I wanted to use this because it has spam blocking features and here in the Philippines we are bombarded by spam SMS everyday.

EU? I think the F4 was only sold in IX (global) variant. Google messages is working fine on mine.

I'm using the xiaomi.eu custom rom and they are using their base is china rom that uses MI dialer and messages.

1. Set mi messages as default sms app
2. Force stop and clear data google messages
3. Enable permission manually in settings before opening google messages(important)
4. Launch the google messages and set as default sms app

Thanks. It worked. I don't know why we need to follow this rigorous step to make it work.
