What's your opinion on which tool for multiple google calendars? Goosync? OggSync? Others? Pros/cons?
I want to be able to categorize and sync my multiple google calendars in a way that make sense, keeps things separated, syncs live and has push calendar capabilities, and easy to use on my phone.
Thanks.
Anyone have any input?
For a free solution and a good alternative to Oggsync, take a look at the ActiveGcSync project at milow.net. it's a little slow to sync but the job is done and the author is working on a new version to speed up the sync.

yes, it uses one category for each calendar.
Is it possible? If so, how? :S
And how about Facebook syncing with the phone app, I mean it can be done in the HTC Sense phone app but not the stock ICS one.. Is it also possible to flash a HTC Sense phone app?
Thanks

Hi, No you can't use any sense program as far as I know without sense running even if you have sense installed. As for facebook, when you install it and run for the first time it will ask you what you want to sync, I personally choose everything but it also will allow only existing contacts. If you need to access that again to change it can be found under settings and accounts. I also you friendcaster and that will sync your fb contacts with your phone as well. Hope this helps.

Seems to pull in the contacts alright, but it doesn't properly merge them with existing contacts.
I used HaxSync to sync my Facebook contacts

I prefer the HTC Contacts app so I installed HtcContacts.apk, ContactsProvider.apk and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from ARHD 5. Once all your contacts sync up, you can merge them and the changes do transfer over to the stock ICS contacts app if you still prefer to use that.
Edit: I also installed Facebook for Sense from the ARHD ROM, though I'm not sure it was required to get sync working.
Hey guys, I need a GB 2.3.5 Rom where is the option "facebook for htc sense" under "accounts & sync". Can somebody help me please?
Ps i hope you can understand me

This is not the correct forum - try in the "Q & A" forum instead, where this question should have obviously gone in the first place
Reported to Mods for moving.
Oh sorry
While you're waitig for the thread to be moved by the mods, have a look at Endymion. I don't use it as I don't like Sense, so I stick with Reaper ROM, by Endy gets all the recommendations from the guys on here who do like to use a Sense-based ROM.

All you have to do is sign in to Facebook through accounts and sync. Then HTC Sense will request permission

Hi guys I've tried doing a search and couldn't find anything so apologies in advance for my incompetence.
I'm new to the Android community and recently got my S3. I'm feeling very frustrated with the contacts syncing because the phone is syncing all of my contacts from gmail including the "other contacts" folder. However doing a basic search in google says that once you setup your android phone the contacts that sync are those in the "my contacts" folder. Is there any solution to this? There doesn't seem to be any place where I can restrict which contact folder from gmail it should be syncing with.
Thanks.
you would need to go to setting accounts and turn off contact sync.

Hey thanks for the reply, but clicking on the google account and disabling sync contacts? If so this didn't work I still have 244 contacts that are not assigned, and they happen to be the ones that are from the my other contacs folder, also if i disable the contact sync would that also disable the contacts that I'm interested in backing up with google?
Thanks.

Yeah I think I'm not saying things right let me try this,
so gmail saves contacts automatically everytime you send an reply, fwd,etc.. and those contacts are saved in the Other contacts group, this group shouldn't sync itself to the android contacts from My Contacts group in gmail (at least from what I've read) however for some reason it keeps syncing and I end up with 244 unassigned contacts which basically are people whom I'm really not interested in having as a contact in the phone?
Thanks again.

Hmmm i think the only way to fix this is to turn off contact syncing unless there is a option in the gmail app?

try going to groups in your contacts app and deleting un-necessary ones (try doing this with a group which has only 1-2 unimportant contact names - so that if it gets deleted from gmail contacts as well - you don't lose many, also always backup )
I got the fix for ya. Go to contacts hit the menu / contacts to display / customize list / then click on Ur gmail . U should c it then choose the groups u want to be synced ....
Hope that works for ya

Ok. First try scrolling down when you are looking for contacts to display. Second it sounds like you are lazy and don't want to manage your contacts very well. If they are not contacts you need why are you keeping them? I simply take a few min once in a while and clean house... Deleting contacts that were randomly saved.
Hope that helps.

I do understand you, I have many old and JIC contacts in my gmail that I don't want to delete, over 2700, but I only want 100 or 200 tops sync to my phone. If I play with the display settings when I enter the conects, only the contacts I want are displayed, but when I search for an specific contact, it searches over all the 2700 contacts and makes my Galaxy S3 verry slow, my old galaxy s2 as well,
If my memory does not fail, when I had the galaxy Ace with gingerbread, the contacts navigation and search was much faster because only the contacts in "My Contacts" where Sync into my phone, i am allmost positive of that. thanx for any responses.

did not notice that there was a second page, i am new in the forum.
it is not lazy in my case, i have purged over 2000 contacts when i merged the information from my Facebook Contacts, Linked In, Yahoo, MSN, manualy merging some becuse the automerge process did not work for some cases (inverted names with diferent emails (old and new) or phone numbers, etc), but if i delete one and i review and old email, i won't know who was that from, oe maybe where i knew them from (have them in groups or notes) to organize a reunion :good:. anyway deleting information goes agains Gmal Policy (Never have to delete an email or contact again) LOL any help is welcome
I have trie both Revelation and ViperS, but none of them works with Exchange (not possible to add account).
Is there any other roms on Jelly Bean for HTC Sensation XE that can handle Exchange accounts (and Facebook syncronisation)?

Do you need it to be Sense-based? If not, have a look at droidevs HTC Sensation ROMs & Development.
It's a bit of a jungle because of the many virations and many(!) updates, but all of them are supposed to support exchange, and those that don't (in their current version) are already identified in the forum threads.

You CAN use exchange with JB Roms.
This is how you do it:
Iceberger said:
With a help of an older JB rom (an ICS rom wont work), in this case ViperS v3.0.0 and Titanium Backup I came with this workaround.
1. Install ViperS v3.0.0 (JB) and add your Exchange and Hotmail accounts. in v3.0.0 it works!
2. In Titanium backup choose Accounts and Mail 5.5.2311133269.528614.493299 (E-MAIL ACCOUNT SETTINGS) to backup
3. Install ViperS v3.1.1, Restore Accounts and Mail 5.5.2311133269.528614.493299 (E-MAIL ACCOUNT SETTINGS)
4. Reboot
5. In accounts & sync enable synchronization for Exchange and Hotmail (and POP accounts, if you have them)

You restored facebook app along with data? Dont do that never if u did. Just add account and let it sync it self, never restore any Sense apps, or apps like Facebook or Twitter which have Sense integration.
I didnt restore facebook. I just installed it. It seems like its a sense issue. It works with CM10.1
Any ideas?

This is a workaround, not a fix.
You should be able to change password, but I am not aure.
For multiple accounts, just add 3 or more accounts in 3.0.0, and delete them after restore in 3.1.1. Then if you'll ever need to get them back, restore again using titanium, and you are good to go.
This is only until the devs fix the issue.
And if this is inconvenient, just use another mail client for the time being.

ViperS will most likely fix it in the next issue. You can use some other mail client for exchange if you want for the time being.
