i just flashed over to AOSP 1.6 with gbits and I love it so far, Just didnt read or see anything for it to sync with my facebook. is this possible as of yet with this rom?? like it was with my 1.5 ROM
Yes, there is an app that'll do it for you. I'm pretty sure it's just called 'Facebook Sync'. It doesn't have great ratings but it does work.
you may want to go through and delete anyone you don't talk to on facebook, when i tried to use a market app to sync facebook (i dont remember which one) it pushed ALL my friends to my contacts. if you have a lot of friends then this may be a draw-back for you.
just f.y.i.
SyncMyPix is a free app that will do it. I believe it's the highest rated facebook sync app. I use it with AOSP1.6 as well and i'm really happy because i can't stand not having caller ID pics and I just loved the facebook sync that HTC does, both on my HTC Diamond before, and now the Hero.

One of my biggest issues with going to a nonsense Rom(cm6nightly) was the fact that it didn't sync well with Facebook contact profiles. (at least I didn't see or I'm doing something wrong)
But nonetheless, I found an awesome app called "syncmypix".
Check it out. It works great.
Heh? Mine synced everything just fine. It even paired facebook contacts with google contacts. What rom are you running?
Sync my pic didn't work for me, it actually caused my phone problems.
I am running Nightly 29 and I am also having a problem with facebook sync. It syncs, but then facebook craps out and I have to uninstall and reinstall to get the pics back. They don't last long though.
I need to search for a new solution...
Check out the hacked Facebook.apk topic. Searching is fun!

That hacked .apk doesn't sync facebook contact pics though does it? I thought it only synced contact info, which no you do not need syncmypix for. I am using the app with CM6 RC1 at the moment and it has worked great for me. Now of course we have Sense on 2.2 so this may no longer be needed unless you run AOSP like CM6.
The hacked facebook sync or rather allow you to use facebook pix just fine. Although you have to do a little work like manually pick the pics when edit the contact info.
For starters I'm on an HTC Thunderbolt running Android 2.2.
I prefer Facebook For Android over the HTC version, and I'm hoping I can get this sorted out.
I can get my contacts to sync, even if I have to do it manually. However, I'm not sure how to get it to sync correctly for me. For example, when I'm sending texts it shows their picture for each of their texts, but for my picture in the conversation it's just one of those default silhouettes, rather than using my facebook picture.
Any fix for this?
Maybe you could try option "Always sync with facebook" or you could also use
SyncMyPix (App on Market). This will do the job for ya!
not sure how you can possibly like the facebook app better than htc's offering...it doesnt work lol...ive had the same problem you have on like 7 different non-sense roms...and i keep coming back b/c of the integration ...havent tried syncmypix though..sounds interesting
all i know is the picture doesn't automatically sync, you have to attach your pic in the people view to attach your facebook picture
Thanks for the assistance everyone. I caved and I'm just using the HTC Facebook solely for syncing contacts, as it does it fantastically.
Now if only the Facebook for Android had working push notifications.....
yeah, you have to either use the HTC facebook to get your pic to show or make a contact of yourself. I had read it had to be named "ME" but I named mine my full name and I think I did a nickname of "ME". HTC does really have the best facebook sync abilities, one of the few things I miss about SenseUI..
well I tried syncmypix and it works like a charm...so give that a shot if you really are against using friendstream

Great app! solved all my FB pic woes!
I'm using SyncMyPix but it doesnt seem to be syncing correctly. Anyone facing similar issue? It used to work flawlessly, not sure what went wrong.
THe HTC desire being my first HTC phone I had never used the sense UI or any of its features previously, so had only had experience with the official facebook for android app from the Market.
Ive just set up facebook for htc sense with the friend stream etc and I'm rather impressed by it. Just wondered what your thoughts are on both these apps? here are mine.
Facebook for Android:
Pros
Has the chat function
Official app from facebook so gets updated (eventually) with new features, although still way behind the iphone app apparently.
Cons
Doesnt allow tagging of photos
Doesnt allow you to remove/delete a post/comment or that you have made or un-like something.
Facebook for HTC Sense
Pros
Allows tagging of photos
Allows multiple upload of photos to albums etc..
Integrates extreemely well with the rest of HTC sense UI, and the phone features such as the people app, gallery etc..
Cons
(most of these are things that I am not 100% sure on, so they are more like a question than a statement)
Not sure if the app gets updated when new features come out on facebook, or being as the app is shipped with the phone is it pretty much that what you get now is what it will always be, and no changes, or do HTC release updates for the sense features?
I dont think the check in feature is available with this?
I also dont think this app allowed you to delete a comment/post, althought I havent tried it yet, if it is possible, how is it done? Same with un-like...
What are you guys thoughts on both of these apps? Which do you prefer out of the 2?
I've been facing this same issue for past 24 hours. I needed batch upload for photos. I assumed, oficial fb app should be able to do that. Well, horse hockey. It's not even able to move photos from album to album or delete album. Before I discovered that Fb for sense is able to do that, I uploaded it via email. All in all, fb app from fb lackes many features, some even included in web version for phones (touch).
well you can always choose between the two, you dint have to just use one
persinally i think sense is amazing! (wish i had it on my sgs2)
the android fb is mediocore, so i use it mainly fir chat.
so i use the facebook mobile site mainly! it has the most info on news feed etc.
I personally still use the m.facebook.com website for facebook interaction on the phone. I found the facebook application a little too limited and clunky.
Although didn't know that it could enable FB chat, until I read the posts above...so thanks.
This way I don't get constant Facebook notifications, but get the ones that I have choosen to get through my FB settings as alerts through new emails. I use both Yahoo and Google mail applications.
I have still enabled Facebook for Sense, so that I still get the status updates, birthdays etc which then add value to my users from Google contacts...
take a look at FriendCaster
NS4G Running ICS kwiboo (sp?) Version 2, Franco kernel
I have about 300 contacts, and probably 150 are friends on Facebook. I don't ever want to sync Facebook contacts with my Google contacts, BUT, would like to selectively sync decent Res photos from Facebook to some Google contacts.
I've seen a couple of apps that might do this,but looking for recomendations. ..especially since ICS really pimps up the contact photos. And low Res photos look awful.
. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
fsync
Just started using fsync. It seems pretty good so far. Can sync photos etc...
are you running ICS?
Haven't tried it on ICS but on gingerbread this app works great:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix
Just tweak the settings to your liking.
Syncmypix is a gr8 application to do it.
It attaches HighRes pics to phone contacts ...
Well try that on it works on ICS
syncmypix is the best i could find for this use.
does the high res bit work, i ticked the box, but still look crap when you go to the people bit
Another vote for syncmypix. Works pretty well.
They all do nothing on ICS, they still look like sh** on ICS.
Only way to have hires picture is to take picture and use on contact, or transfer from PC to Nexus then one by one.
I dont see another less paintfull solution, maybe on official ICS will be better.
Ya, that's basically what I'm doing now.. have a dropbox folder called contactPhotos. Save there then attach. Worst method ever
. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
I've tried syncmypix and it didn't seem like there was any way to manually sync contacts whose names didn't match up perfectly. So my current solution is this:
I sync my Mac address book with facebook via AddressBookSync, and then I sync my address book with my google account (I've got lion so syncing is built in)
I think this might just be what you guys need

Is that link correct?
Lol. The suspense is killing me.

Can you fix that broken link?
Devs have figured out re enabling it. So why can't no one tell us how to enable it or make an update package for us

HaxSync is the best solution that I've tried! Sync the pictures and all the fb status! It has improved a lot with the last update few weeks ago!
Hows the picture quality..
and damn, I really don't care about anyone's status

It's hi-res photo Of course, then it sync to gmail at the standard 96*96... But that's a gmail-contacts "problem"!
Does it have controls to only sync fb contact photos that ate existing Google contacts?
Im just making sure cuz its a disaster when it syncs everything based on assumptions. Last time, my gf's info got synched with another girl's photo ..as well as 30 others .. last thing I need lol.

Yes, it can sync only contacts that it's sure that are in your "people". The one that it didn't sync, you can anyway force him to download selectively some contacts (is a new feauture of the latest version) and so then associate with you google account contacts!
Hi there!
After trying some roms with HTC Sense on my nexus one, I think I am going back to CM7, but I will miss a lot the Sense Facebook sync.
It not only syncs the hi-res pics and makes them available to all the apps, it also syncs the phones of your facebook contacts that you don't have in your phone contact list, and also makes them available to other apps, so you can find your facebook friends in whatsapp and viber even if you don't have their phone.
There are any other application that does this?
I only found apps for syncing the pics, but not for the phone numbers.
Thanks! (and sorry for my English)

There is HaxSync, it does it's job perfectly. But it's for ICS only...
CM7 has Facebook sync built back into it, just need to install the Facebook app ;-)
Delivered by Western Union in the rain after 70 Years
can also use syncpix and ditch the official Fbook for friendcaster
use the "thanks" if I helped you at all

Does it syncs the phone numbers too? With Sense it does, and you have your facebook contacts in whatsapp even if you don't have their phone numbers.

I just tried that, and the Facebook app shows the phone numbers in the dialer, but doesn't share it with other applications like whatsapp or viber
