open the facebook app, hit your menu key, settings, and at the bottom it says Sync Contacts, click that and change it to don't sync.
Is there any way to backup your contact links? For instance, I linked a bunch of my phonebook contacts to my facebook contacts, but if I perform a full wipe those links do not get synced and I have to manually relink all of the contacts again (which takes quite some time!).
I noticed that the Facebook for Sense contact information gets synced, but after a wipe the regular Facebook link information does not.
I am running CM7 RC0.4 on HTC Thunderbolt.
Thank you!!

Have you checked your databases located in your /data/system, /data/data/,,,,,,,,
areas of your rom?
Give me a little while so I grab one of my nand backup and go through it. I believe it is in either one of the databases (sqlite3) or its in an xml file like other things.

sorry for taking so long to get back to you but long hours at work.
I still havent found a way to keep the links and incorporate them into gmail contacts. I have a feeling that it is something to do with facebook preventing this.
But it has sparked an intrest and I am going to look at something and see what happens.
Here is something I came across. I tried it for syncing FB to existing contacts in gmail
www dot facebook dot com/apps/application.php?id=133934337558

is there any other idea of backing up the link between contact list & facebook?
Ok, going to bring this up again. New version of cm7 for the tbolt and I would like to do a full wipe and not have to relink all of my facebook contacts with my phone contacts...any ideas?

I want to bump this question again.
I am using haxsync on my s4, and I want to backup links. In haxsync settings, there is a menu item that adds HTCdata links info to save link status to google contacts. Would this suffice? If I wipe and restore again, using haxsync, would they be shown even though they are <htcdata> on my Samsung? or is there a proper solution ?
Note: The device is rooted, so I can easily export a system file/folder and restore.
Thanks in advance,
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.

No worries, Glad I could help mate, Thanks for the Thanks
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 I installed AOSP dialer and contacts but I can not find how to sync them with facebook. I really liked the Sense dialer linking between Google contacts facebook and more. I want my contacts to have picture and birthday reminder and etc. but how to sync them to facebook. If there is no option is there an application to do this?
You can't as stock Google doesn't sync with Facebook as Facebook doesn't use the Google Contact API
Haxsync from market...

Thanks. But I don't think this is exactly what I am looking for or I can't find how to do what I need. So the program synchronizes only contacts with the same name or which were synchronized when I was with HTC dialer. I can't anywhere to manually atach a Facebook account to google account. I am searching for this type of program.
I have to up because I didn't got answer to my question hope that is not counted as spam.

Look in the HyperNonSense ROM thread for the "extras" and find the "facebook_sync.zip" which is flashable from recovery. This will replace your contacts.apk and contactsprovider.apk with modified versions that work with the original facebook sync.
Flash it, clear cache/dalvik cache, reboot.
Go into the FACEBOOK APP and then go to settings/accounts and add it from there. If you try to go through the system settings -> accounts/sync -> and add it there, it won't work (at least not for me). After I flashed it, I tried going straight from the accounts/sync and it appeared to act just like before.. you select facebook and then nothing happens. However, when I loaded up the facebook app, it asked right away if I wanted to sync my contacts just like on gingerbread.
Do a nandroid backup for sure...
I'm on the OpenSensation April 9 build if you were curious what I flashed it over.
Hope that helps.
Thanks a lot! That's what I am looking for but I can't manage it to work. I installed trough 4ext recovery and wiped cache+dalvik. I am using ARHD 6.6.1 + http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470497 this mod for AOSP. In the facebook app in settings the only options about contacts,accounts is about whether to sync or not to sync so I chose to sync with existing contacts. Nothing really happened and in settings->account/sync there isn't anything new to add. So for now nothing new has happened could you guide me more what should I do to mange to get it work.

I'm sure you mean Facebook for HTC Sense.
That actually is a system application that syncs all Facebook data with your HTC phone.
It's alright if you don't have it. It is still present on your phone, you just can't access it directly.
(For example, if you go to people and check your Facebook contacts, it will have the person's latest updates, photos, etc. That is how Facebook for HTC Sense works.)
i don't have it even in accounts i can't add account for facebook for HTC sens
or widget
Details about your current ROM, please?
Android version 4.0.3
HTC sense 3.6
software number 3.32.415.15
Is it possible for you to go to People and check your Facebook contacts, it will have the person's latest updates, photos, etc.
As for the widget, you have to use Friend Stream
yes i can check the update for contact
but i was checking for the facebook for htc sense and it's missing

It doesn't matter, because Facebook for HTC Sense is only responsible for integrating Facebook contacts into your phone and providing you access to their photos and updates through the People application. So, don't worry, you have it on your phone, it just doesn't show up in Accounts & Sync anymore.

All of the Facebook versions I've used have had the options to sync my friends into my contacts and I've used many, I switch roms very often and so download Facebook regularly.
