Use the official Facebook app, it works better than friend stream. You can do the same with the official Twitter app.

I don't get how to do it with the facebook application. I messed around with it for a bit, but no avail. Any help?

Go to settings and make sure you have sync contacts enabled. The names /emails have to be similar, but you can always go the contact app, edit a contact and then use the join option in the menu to manually connect contacts.
Edit: this works better than Sense because now all apps that use contact syncing will now have that popup menu when you click on a contacts photo.

Sorry man, but Friend Stream is for HTC Sense frameworks, and won't work in CM6. But, if you purchase Launcher Pro Plus, then that launcher has a widget similar to friend stream (puts facebook + twitter stuff in one widget for ya).
Good luck

Also as an fyi- you can go to any OTA rom, download and rip out any apk's you may want to try. All you need is winrar and you can extract the friendstream.apk file from system/app/ yourself

Use Launcherpro (http://www.launcherpro.com/. It has a widget that is the same as Friendstream.

[Q] the only gripe... very slow Email app with Exchange

The only gripe i have with the Galaxy Tab is the abominably slow Email app with Exchange integration. On any app start or when return from reading an Email it takes a full 30 or more seconds to load the Email list (i sync 1 week) and more often than not the screen / app becomes unresponsive and force closes.
I discovered that unlike Touchdown the in-built Email app simply downloads all Emails (1 week horizon) in all sub-folders (i have many, organization freak...). With Touchdown i can pre-select the folders i want on the Phone/Tab, which obviously makes the number of items much smaller.
By now i don't want to change from Email to Touchdown, because I like the integration of Emails & calendar entries, etc. native, but I have to work with the tab on work Email,... can't wait for every mail for 30 sec to load
Does anybody experience this too, and are there any remedies?
thanks

That isn't the case with me. I have 27 subfolders (really), not counting Inbox, Sent, Junk and Deleted folders. I need to manually refresh all but the main Inbox.
Response time moving from folder to folder is also a non-issue, and I sync back a full month (which is thousands and thousands of emails). I don't notice any extra delay when leaving Email and doing something else on the tab either.
I'm using Push, not timed polling, and no "peak schedule" so that may make a difference.
Sounds like you might have some database corruption going on. Try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All/Email and then "Clear data". This will nuke the mail on your device without changing your account settings. Sync up again and see if you still have the problem.
If you do, go into Accounts and Sync, click on your Exchange account, and click Remove Account, then reboot the Tab. Once you've done that, set your account back up, resync, and see what the situation is.

I did see the issue reported (with no solution) on other forums though
Thanks
Edit: cleared data, same issue. I am hesitant to re-setup, because others have reported that that didn't help them either. I am on JM6, interesting that you don't hv the issue

Same here,
have 50 subfolders
use Countdown actually.

Same with me. Very slow!!
It was the same on the original firmware/rom, on JK5 and JM6. Also performed full factory reset but it makes no difference.
Using the eval of roadsync at the moment and it works pretty well but it does not integrate very well with the calendar and contacts apps. I will probably configure roadsync for email and the built in app for calendar and contacts to get a working solution. Annoying and very disappointing!!

Search for the port for Galaxy S of the email app from galaxy tab, it solved the slowdowns and it removed the security pass.

This worked for me no lag when opening up my corp inbox. Tab now 100% perfect.
Had to change the galaxy email app shortcut as it was set to open the previous account by default. Even though they were called the same it always opened a blank mail box . I then had to change to all accounts. Now resolved

Be careful, it's a very OLD email.apk, from a pre-release leak of the Tab ROM.
It's missing a few features, and it has a lot more connection issues. I tried it just to bypass needing a PIN, it was not reliable.

ok, this thread needs to be updated a bit, because just simply referring to the link is bad advise.
it broke my camera (driver crash), probably because the email.apk posted in the other thread linked does not have an *.odex file
i reverted back to the original email.apk and email.odex and my camera is working again.
scary
haha
now i am still stuck with a very slow email app

You have to use only the email.apk and keep the original Email.odex, then the camera works fine...
The only problem i found is that the version of the port is from an old version... anyone have a more recent version?

There seems to be a new firmware from samsung out... Wonder whether there is a new email client too...
Last time I tried to pull it from the fw, but didn't succeed.

Any solutions on this?
I think the problem is related with security from exchange. Because when I use the stock app I have to assign a pin to access the system, and the mail app works very slow, but when I use a modded version without the security it works normally...

Am also looking for solution still newer fw's like JME have not solved it yet

The implementation of Exchange on Android is screwed... I use an Exchange 2010 server and not all my folders show on my android device. And even the ones which show dont update ona regular basis (My Sent folder updates once in a while... Right now it hasn't updated for 2 weeks)
On top of it it doesn't update all the features/items. For instance impossible to have birthdays for contacts. Or impossible to modify an event from the exchange calendar (It's only possible to delete it)
Not much to say. It's disappointing on a phone. It's ridiculous on a tablet (you expect at ;east the email client and the calendar to be perfect on a tablet)

Same happens to me since the beginning, anyone has found a solution???
I think it's unacceptable
Thanks

Co`on Google

OK Google enough. Why do you need permission to read my contacts AND write to my contacts when I just want look at a map???

Yeah noticed that too, lol but wait till March when they will tie all your Google accounts together when doing a search.

What? They can do that anyway since you're on ANDROID. Google's OS. The core apps are made by them! They could change all your contacts right from when you made an internet connection.

because it is tied to google places. and allows you to send your location to contacts and receive other contacts locations... i would say its pretty justified
edit this might have something to do with it as well
http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/25/google-adding-public-alerts-to-maps/

Interestingly enough there was a leak on the nexus where a os update (ics) came out to quick got picked up by a user and then he's whole phone was remotely wiped and locked by google.

It makes perfect sense.. It needs to read contacts so you can navigate to your friends if need be (with the Navigation part of the app), and to edit the contacts so you can save locations to your contacts.

Yes it does. Just download the files to your phone, rename the current files in System/app to Email.apk.bak and Exchange2.apk.bak. Copy these new files to System/app and rename them to Email.apk and Exchange2.apk, then set permissions to 644 or rw-r-r. Then reboot. Solid Explorer works great for doing all of this directly on the phone.
For some reason now when I go to add account, there are 3 options for Corporate, but they all do the same thing. Other than that it works like a champ with security disabled. I tried the Xposed modules but couldn't get any of them to work, this worked first try.

Weird. I tried that exactly and couldn't get it to work. The email app didn't show up. I'll give it another shot.
Edit. Tried it again and it still didn't work. Not sure why.

I'll give it a try!

Anyone else with VZW that was able to get this working? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Edit: I'm an idiot and had the permissions wrong. Too much turkey apparently.

FYI Exposed Module "Exchange Bypass for Xposed [1.6]" works on MotoX 4.4.2

Try Enhanced Email instead of stock mail app.. it has saved my life: company mail/ calendar sync with native(!!) agenda -w/o the pain of company policy restrictions..

Mail wise also works with built in exchange security bypass. But it's in beta. Who knows how much they'll charge for it when beta ends and if the exchange bypass will remain.

Personally: I stick with Enhanced Email, because it provides beside company policy bypass also integration of exchange calendar with my native calendar app on my Android.. As my secretary puts all my appointments in my exchange agenda, for me a very convenient way to see all my private and work appointments on one place..

I tried the Exchange Security Bypass for Nexus devices & AOSP by shantzg001... doesn't work. I think.
It still says device admin still require a PIN. I can, of course, go to device admin and disable Email there, but that beats the purpose, no?
Bottomline: how exactly do I run this module? lol

[APP][MOD] Messenger Old Chat Heads for Android 11+

With Android 11 came the bubble functionality, which displaced the chat head mechanism in Messenger. Unfortunately bubbles are very buggy - for example on OnePlus phones they are responsible for freezing the whole phone.
That's why I've created a MOD for Messenger which brings back the old chat heads.
Install guide
Uninstall all Facebook apps (Facebook, Messenger, Facebook Lite, Messenger Lite, Facebook Business Suite etc).
Install the apps from this post (the ones you are using)
Enjoy!
(If you use Facebook apps that are not attached to this post, let me know, I'll resign apks and add them)
--------------------------------------------
DEPRACATED 08.08.2022​Messenger brought back old chat heads to their official application, this mod is no needed anymore
You can uninstall modded apks and install official ones from Google Play.
If you encounter any problems with official apps (e.g. crashing when trying to open an app). You probably needs to clear dalvik cache.
UPDATE 06.01.2022
DOWNLOAD: AndroidFileHost
New versions:
- Messenger 342.1.0.14.119
- Facebook 349.0.0.0.122 alpha

UPDATE 20.10.2021
New versions:
- Messenger 335.0.0.17.75
- Facebook 341.0.0.2.73
Download here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-for-android-11.4300779/page-5#post-85806197
Please give me feedback, if everything is all right I will replace files in this post.
UPDATE 7.09.2021
New versions:
- Messenger 329.0.0.10.118
- Facebook 336.0.0.0.85 alpha (I had troubles with decompiling standard/beta versions)

So the version of FB in my phone is showing as a system app. I can't uninstall. Attaching pics. Can u tell me how to uninstall plz? It shows"installed" but I can't uninstall, if I go thru the play Store, it gives the "uninstall updates to this system app" only option. I have it disabled because I don't trust it *note NO PERMISSIONS REQUIRED. Yeah well that's too fishy. Plus I'm locked out of FB right now cause i have 2 factor on & when I get the code & enter it I get an error msg invalid code. I left FB services enabled so I can continue using IG. I really miss using Messenger, if u have any suggestions I'd much appreciate.
