Yes I know CM7 and a few other custom roms have it, i'm not looking to flash a new ROM.
Right now my setup is a rooted deoxed "stock" ROM, with a custom kernel.. i'm just looking for a sync fix that can be flashed through recovery or pushed through adb without flashing a whole new ROM
I know a lot of people will respond by saying use the app called ContApps, but I haven't gotten it to work properly for me. So if someone does reply saying ContApps, please tell me why it isn't working.
It could help if you specify two things:
1) What do you mean by "Facebook sync?" Are you just trying to sync contact photos? Do you need to have all available info from all of your Facebook friends show up as contacts on your phone?
2) In what way does Contapps not work for you? Does it fail to install? Crash when run? Does it just not accomplish whatever it is that you want to do when you "sync Facebook?"
I use SyncMyPix, which works great for synching pics. I've tried Contapps and can't see that it really does anything at all with respect to Facebook syncing to my contacts.

Hi all,
I've tried searching the forums and posted to seek help, but still have not gotten a reply.
I used various ROMS on my Touch Pro aka Raphael, and love using TF3D2/Rhodium/Manila, however everytime i sync my contacts it would cause it to crash.
The phone works fine if i disable TF3D2 and on the original ROM.
I have tried EVERY fix there is on the forums but nothing works. My phone wont crash if i DONT sync my contacts, thats about 270+ contacts.
HELP ANYONE PLEASE!!!
Same here... I guess it´s something related to the contacts format in the new tf3d2... something not comptaible with the old contacts... maybe pictures?
At first - save your Contacts and the other stuff with PimBackup.
Have you made a HardReset AFTER Flashing lke recommended?
Perhaps you should flash a stock ROM and then flash the ROM of your choice.
I am not aware of any issues like you describe when syncing your contacts from what i assume is outlook on your PC and i have ALOT of contacts.
Are you using XP or Vista?
Hello,
I bought my nexus s today, and i noticed that Facebook wouldn't sync to my phone! it starts by not asking whether or not to sync contacts when i install the Facebook app and continues by not responding to 'add account' in 'accounts & syncs' in settings.
I really like the option that i can see my fav's pictures.
any ideas what can i do to solve this?
but all and all amazing phone, specially after coming from here, after two years
2.3.3 intentionally disabled facebook syncing. the way to bypass this is to flash a custom ROM such as CM7
thanks. good to know, although i don't understand why they did that.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just like what tomm posted. This change was intentional on Google's part.
CM7 modified it to enable syncing in 2.3.3 again. You also gain a lot of extra benefits using CM7
whenever I go to messaging and start a new message, I start to type in a name , but for some reason, even though I have said contact in my contacts as a Google Contact, it won't show up.
I have to goto contacts, click on said person's name and then click message. Kind of annoying... How do I fix this. I am using the newest GInfuse ROM.
Have you tried other ROMS? never had that problem :S probably could fix trying a new modded rom, go check out dev section theres a rom galore atm lol you can find like 20 new rom/ports.
I recommend you MaxQ rom or GingerReal but every rom there its NICEEE you can try any you like
hey, i was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this on custom ROMs.
the fact that it doesnt give you "tips" on what facebook user go to this/that contact. tried 3 diferent roms and they never give me pairing contacts with facebook friends. have anyone of you guys noticed this?
and for some reason after i install ROMs the pictures on contacts dissapear and when i sync facebook with contacts, it wont add pictures no matter what i do. even when i pair them up myself
Try the app "photo unlocker" to the photo.
It's never given me tips regardless of the ROM I'm using. And when I sync my contacts, I have to join them myself, FB connect to phone number. Half the time contacts force closes when joining. It can be frustrating. I tried an app called hacksync but it made a huge mess of everything. I uninstalled it, and uninstalled the official FB app. I use friend cast now and everything is cool. My pics show up in contacts and Tango syncs nicely. If I have to manually sync something, I don't get the force close anymore.
ill try those alternatives. i have my contacts synced to gmail, so if it screws it up it wont be such a hazzle. and "nice" to see that im not the only one having this problem
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
i found a way to do it, but its manual and takes ages. you have to sync all, then manually add theyre facebook to the contact. if say you have them linked and there is no picture, unlink them and add again. if there was a number to someone you didnt allready have in contacts and you didnt get a photo, link that facebook contact to a phone contact, but before you actually do that (before the accept screen) click not to confirm and back and it will pull the picture. its a tedious process, but it works. now i dont know if the pictures persist if you change the rom, but time will tell.
So I have a question after I flash a ROM my contacts are taking along time to show up on my accounts or they don't show up at all? Not to much of a big deal more annoying then anything but any help would be appreciated!!
Are you flashing gapps too? If not, are the required google sync services included with the rom?
