Gingerbread Sync / Integration - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey guys,
I was thinking about getting Gingerbread. Can somebody tell me, how the contacts in gingerbread are?
Actually Im using a HD Sense ROM and there's that great Facebook integration (including birthdays in calendar). I cant find any videos or reviews of the contacts ;(
Thanks!

that's my point, I'm trying to avoid using facebook htc sense, I want to use the facebook app only, but it won't sync with contacts. often the apk can be hacked to make contact syncing work

SyncMyPix works pretty well for non sense roms.

The normal Facebook app will sync your contact pics. It works perfectly on CM6.1.

So the problem is with Facebook for HTC Sense? Have you tried a different ROM?

Sense can be bloated and I've actually come across the same thing.
The official Facebook once supported full contacts sync for a short time, it seemed to be slightly buggy then it just disappeared after the next update.
On another thought, I can't get ride of wakelock when I remove sense from sense-based roms. If anyone knows what causes this please PM me, I have yet to find any causes even when using debug tools. - Numbers just don't compute to what is causing the lock when I do dumps.
im using the stock deodexed rom and facebook syncs perfectly fine, if you having issues with it hanging i would try turing off the 3g and only have 4g on and see if that fixes your problem with the syncing if you have 3g and 4g they battle each other for signal causing hiccups and the network to freeze.
Click Menu - Settings - Wireless & Networks - And Uncheck Mobile Network.
Mobile network is basically the toggle switch for 3g
so if you have 4g enabled you will still have a mobile network but only when you have 4g reception

facebook for htc sense syncs, but not the facebook app. the option doesn't even show up if you're using a sense rom. if you use any rom besides a sense rom the facebook app will have the option to sync with contacts. I don't believe you have that option

Ive teetered back nd forth between HTC's facebook nd the actuall app on the market... personally ive stuck with htc's only bc it syncs everything not just pics... bdays events etc... the official app sucks b*** still no chat option nd sync doesnt sync all contact info just pics... plus it's always linking u to the actual website... the official app will sync your pics just fine on a non sense rom but thats it... yes some roms have the "hacked" verison of the official app which basically enables u to choose which contacts to sync, friends already in contacts or everyone" htc sense has already synced for u so why r u trying to make the official app sync over htc?
i think the OP wants to avoid syncing all 5000 contacts lol and i dont blame him i haver 3500 + and i hate how htc facebook sync's contacts

Blurry pictures

Anyone know how to fix the blurry pictures for the htc people widget its horrible looking even when it uses the Facebook pictures it looks messed up.

On my EVO 3D the Facebook contact pics are fixed when you link it to sense Facebook....not the regular fb

The problem is Google. Google uses a pathetic resolution for the contacts (96x96?) and therefore, when you have Gmail sync enabled, all the photos are replaced with lousy low-res versions, even if you uploaded a hi-res picture in the first place.
This has been discussed on several threads in Gmail support for a few years now, *WITHOUT* a solution. Google needs to get with the times and fix this once and for all.
Sync contacts with facebook for htc sense and stop syncing for google and facebook for android...though facebook for htc sense is also not that perfect...but a lot better then the others...

Facebook contacts auto download?

Hey guys and gals, on my old htc hd2 it the facebook app would match up my contacts with online frinds and update the contact images with their facebook photos. Anyone know how to do the same kinda thing with the xoom? It was a really nifty feature.

If you just want pictures use syncmypix from market... Friendcaster for tab does contacts I'm pretty sure

Facebook Sync

I'm sure this question has come up lots of times I just never looked into it cuz I thought it was just me. Facebook Sync has never worked on my Xoom, not with any of the roms I've used. I just flashed [ROM][ICS] Team Eos ICS 1.0.0... Does anyone have a solution for this problem???
Thank You!!!

You can sync Facebook contacts using FriendCaster in the market. But it won't sync any events. I too am looking for a fix for this. I hate trying to remember all the birthdays. When its sync'd it shows up on the calendar.

[Q] Contact Linking?

Coming from a HTC One X+ with Sense 5, contacts are linked to Facebook/Twitter etc which is really useful and a feature I really miss with pure Android.
So, in light of this I have two questions:
Can it be done with stock Android without a 3rd party app?
If not, is there a better solution than Contacts+? Whilst this app is ok, it's not as refined as I'd like.
Still love the phone though, by far the best I've had! If I can solve this contact linking issue then I'll be happy as Larry!
I use HaxSync for syncing Facebook contacts
For Facebook, I use the sync contacts option from Friendcaster. I don't actually use the app otherwise.
Thanks guys, do either of these apps change anything in the contacts? I.e. Can you see Facebook statuses and things when you go into a contact or does it just keep the profile photo synced?

Yes, it will sync statuses as well.
