[Q] Keep Facebook sync after 2.3.3 update? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm yet to receive the OTA update, and I haven't manually updated because I don't want to lose the Facebook sync. Any way I can keep it after the update?

I'm using CM7 ROM which is 2.3.3 and it's syncing fine
-Nexus S

i tired a CM7 nightly and i didnt like a couple of things.
The menus just glide off the screen rather than fall off if you know what i mean.
and the home screen changes its direction with the accelerometer.
Can these be set back to how the stock was?

There's options for all that.

next noobie question... will facebook sync only work on CM7? Alot of other roms are built on the nexus s gingerbread, and I heard that CM7 is build on android open source??
I tried deodexed rom and facebook sync did not seem to be working with that.

Can anyone point me where to make the menus like stock? I e fall over instead of go straight up

One more question, so the stock 2.3.3 won't give me the ability to sync and CM7 will?

how to enable facebook sync on Android 2.3.3 that?
is there a "fix" for that android setting?
other roms (CM7) can sync .. so there has to be something ...

is there no hinttip, trick, fix or hack for that??
flo

i think CM 7 works because its based on the open source android code rather than the nexus s rom like some of the other roms. Its only disabled on the nexus s on 2.3.3. They kept it in for the nexus one.

perfekt ... so there is a way ... *g* ... someone will find it then ... or facebook has to change ...
thx

It is a sense thing, but on any 2.2 Sense rom you can remove the HTCLockscreen and the original one will appear in its place. It works, but you can't use it for controlling Sense applications (music, calendar, sense alarm clock).

You have a couple options. If you have EStrongs file explorer and root and read/write turned on go to /system/app/ and delete htclockscreen.apk. or you can flash the attached file. this removes the HTC Sense lockscreen and just leaves the vanilla. If you use sense apps like alarm they wont work properly so you should download an alternative from the market like open alarm or AlarmKlock

Actually the alarm will work as long as you use the asop clock to set alarms...
Just wondering if there still isn't anyway to use the vanilla lock screen to answer calls yet?
oh i know i can just remove the apk, but oh god i hate the Vanilla lock screen... blah yuck.
ok first thing you'll say is the iphone style is nearly the same.
nope, it isnt is my answer.
You can also use widget locker on the market. it has an option for iPhone style screen unlocker.

[Q] SMS char limit after 2.3.5?

Has anyone else noticed that there is now a character limit in the stock SMS app? It used to split my messages after 160 characters, but now it just stops me from typing all together.
The settings menu doesn't have any options to change this anymore either. I'm kind of mad... seems like such basic functionality.
It never split my messages....there was no change between 2.3.4 and 2.3.5
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
That's annoying. It should send longer messages as an MMS which can be much larger.

Hmm. I'm using the stock deodexed 2.3.4 ROM and it splits my messages. Is there a custom messaging app that someone might have stuck in the 2.3.4 ROM?
Stock 2.3.5 AOSP does not limit on a gsm device, it properly splits.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
very frustrating.
either way, I flashed my backup of 2.3.4 and pulled the MMS.apk off of it and stuck it in on 2.3.5 so I can split my flipping texts. this seems like such a simple feature to leave out.
PM me if you want a copy of it

[Q] The Real Sense Lockscreen

ok guys i just got my 4g slide
i noticed that it doesnt have the same lockscreen as the sensation
is there a way to get this on my phone without root?
because i saw somewhere on phandroid.com that XDA has an installable app
for the EVO (not 3D) adnd i was wondering if anyone knows about an app for the slide
Well you're definitely not going to be able to do it without root since it's a system file. If you try to install an .apk over the existing system file it just won't work without root.
If you do find the .apk let me know cause I'd pay $10 for that right now, it's really all I feel like this phone is missing! I think, however, it's integrated into the framework of the phone - since you can customize through the personalization menu - and that simply installing an .apk won't work exactly as we would wish! We're probably going to have to wait for a custom ROM to come out which hopefully shouldn't be too long!

Have you tried computerkid23's rom? Brings back the standard android lockscreen bar and gets rid of this Sense 'ring'.

Use NoLock (or other app to disable the stock lockscreen) and get Agile Lock.

[APP] Facebook 1.9 update

just a new update for FACEBOOK 1.9
soooo smooth. go grab ur update!
Just got 2 new shortcuts, a bit of UI changes and the speed got improved a bit.
I'm not to big for the extra icons added but luckily I'm using another app for camera that isn't labeled camera like the one included with the update. Noticed the speed boost too

ICS contact photos sync?
Now when linking FB to contacts, I now get contacts photos syncing correctly on the Galaxy S2 running stock Samsung ICS 4.03. Before the 1.9 update it wouldn't display a picture (though it did work on Gingerbread). That was the only thing bugging me since upgrading to ICS. I've heard that on the stock Galaxy S2 roms Samsung had removed the ability to sync to FB, just like on the Galaxy Nexus. So i'm not sure whether its due to FB finally using the new API's or whether it just works on Samsung ICS firmware. Anyone know?
Liking the speed boost and the new notification settings.
And the $1million dollar question for today is, naturally:
How to get rid of those extra shortcuts, cam&msgr???
To hide the new icons, use a launcher that will let you hide them. LauncherPro has this feature, as does 360 Launcher. Not sure who else.
Now where's my $1 million? Haha.
Facebook 1.9 is okay... there are some UI tweaks around the app, nothing major though. Commenting on an image seemed a little more straightforward, and the comment box looked different.
If you want an ICS-themed Facebook app, look up Fast Facebook. It was just featured on Lifehacker yesterday, but I got it a week or two ago here on XDA. Should be able to find it in this very (sub)forum. I don't care for the UI but it is faster.
Heh, AWD Launcher here.... any other tweak??
TI backup cant see them.
Oh this really annoyed the hell out of me.if I wanted to install Facebook messenger I would have I I wanted to use a camera that links directly to facw book and crashes every time I open it I'd install a separate app.
Facebook needs to split the apps out and let us install the ones we want.
I'm hopefully not the only one but I've just uninstalled the app and bookmarked their mobile site in my browser and installed someone else app.
I'll have to use something else to sync photos
mez, you can use haxsync to sync photos if you are in ICS.
BTW does this version sync your facebook contacts (with their pictures) correctly in ICS?
Thanks. Haxsync has been mentioned before. I think it'll be one of the first few apps that I buy. I don't want to put my credit card on Google checkout just like I haven't on Xbox or iTunes or my wii yet I can still buy paid content of all of them
Android needs gift cards.
I'm using tweetdeck for fb and contact photos seems to sync with my contacts from Gmail anyway. They don't update but its a start.
I can live without the fb app for now.

ics aosp mms.apk

Hey guys, i've looked everywhere on here and rootzwiki for the ics aosp mms.apk.
Its the white version, not the inverted one. Im running leedroid 2.1.0 and I found another white version off of another website but after installing it, it won't send mms like the inverted one.
I had the regular white version before and it sent mms, but had to wipe my phone recently and lost the file.
if anyone has it and it sends mms, please upload it. thanks!
White aosp mms.apk from CM9 yesterdays build

It sends mms on cm9... idk about a sense rom.... u should be fine
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
haha well, i still cant send mms. idk why. Last time I just installed the white one and it worked fine without having to tweak the apn or anything.
when i try to send mms, it lets me set it up but when i hit send, it vanishes

What about when u hit back cap key after hitting send... does it show up then? Or is it like how the inverted mms is? It must be a compatibility issue with sense... idk

AOSP messaging app needs to be edited to send mms on Sense ROMs. I'm not sure what the trick is, but you can try one of these apps from Google Play..

so im a dummy haha, i installed the mms from cm9 and then i went to systems/apps and cleare the data and it works! I tried it with the black inverted version and it works too! I can send mms with both!
The only weird thing is that on the white version, the keyboard has a smiley button and I can install a modded ics keyboard that has a noseless smiley (smileys without the nose) but in the inverted version, the smiley button is an enter button and I cannot change it regardless of installing the noseless smiley button or not.
but its not a big deal, I can send pictures!

Where are you finding the inverted one?
Sent from my H1S using XDA Premium.
The inverted one is in thread called tweak machine in themes and apps section, it has all inverted AOSP apps.
Will try the ones linked to on market, the AOSP MMS app, inverted or not is my biggest headache by far on the One S. Send or recieve pics doesn't ever work on CM9, doesn't work on leedroid, modaco... gets stuck on "sending" for me, haven't seen that the message disappears since on a sense ROM I believe.
I got it, thank you!

Top one has ads, bottom one is claimed by the author probably not to work with MMS's, seems many ppl just don't use MMS (as opposed to SMS which works very well in AOSP app) Maybe that explains why so many ppl claim that AOSP MMS works for them. Are we the only guys here with a girlfriend with a medieval phone who needs MMS functionality?

Open your app manager and select the "all" tab, scroll to mms.apk and select it, then tap "clear data". Reopen your mms app and send photos. It's that easy.

gave this a whirl and adb pushed the Mms.apk from aokp milestone 6 to /system/app/Messaging+CRC_1.apk (i think thats what its called in sense for some reason haha) then went and wiped data and the emoji support is working in leedroid
Got MMS working on CM9 20120716, dunno if it was new upstream CM changes or that I changed APN settings to match what was in an old screenshot I finally found from stock HTC rom, but it works fine with AOSP app as well as the inverted 4.0.4-eng-travp264.20120602.222408 from tweak machine 1306. Attached screenshot with APN settings for Three (3)Sweden if anyone needs... Only one APN, not two as default in CM9.
