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.

Loving my new HTC Inspire
In "Accounts & Sync", Facebook has 2 profiles set up: Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense.
What is the difference? Should I remove one or the other?
At first, I was linking all of my FB friends and FB for HTC Sense Friends to each other. But I can't imagine this is normal. Or is it?

If you are using Friendstream and like having a contact's facebook info, including pictures show up in your People application then keep the FB for HTC Sense and remove the other one. If you aren't using that stuff remove FB for HTC Sense and use the regular facebook. Neither one will give you notifications. FB notifications for Android have been broken since day one.
Have your fb notify you by the email you have linked to your phone and all is well.. Keep FB for HTC as this gives you higher quality images for contacts, where regular FB gives u crap quality images.

The higher images option was my selling point. Thanks! I disabled FB sync. I notice if I completely remove it, it signs me out of the facebook application.
My favorite feature is seeing people's statuses on the "People" application. If that and high quality pictures are from the FB for HTC Sense sync, that's all I need!
Thanks for your input!
also found useful info googling "facebook for htc sense"

Thanks for this, Perfect!
(Sorry to drag up an old thread)
The only benefit I can think of for the normal Facebook app is that you can go directly to one of your contacts FB pages if its linked to their contact.
For me, Facebook for Sense doesn't show me 3 of my contacts(so weird) so I just use the normal Facebook to link to those 3 contacts.
ok how do I get my FB friends pic to them when I text them as of now it just shows a grey person when I text them
If I remember right I removed FB for sense because it stuck a few hundred contacts on my phone that I didn't want. A lot of my FB friends are just people in which I share news with relating to politics, religion and social issues, not people I want to show up in my contacts list on my phone.
Is this a issue for others as well?
yeah that happend to me and all of my fb friends where in my contacts but it happen when I first set up the FB app you can pick sync all or sync with existing contacts.
but i want the fb profiles to my contacts when I text someone even though I may a different name in contacts vs the Fb profile they have.
The standalone Facebook application will do everything Facebook for HTC Sense does except the friend stream (but Facebook has it's own widgets).
Both will sync contacts and can use the Facebook picture as the contact picture.
To hide all those extra contacts you can choose to only sync contacts already in your phone or go to Contacts -> Display Preferences -> Hide anything you don't want.
To use the Facebook picture go to the contact. Make sure the 2 contacts are linked then click on the Facebook picture and choose set as icon.
Also the standalone app gives me notifications they just seem to be slow.
My phone won't let me have both facebook apps synced.
I am running coredroid. I don't know if the OP foresaw these problems or what. It will only let you select one or the other. However, the first time I opened the regular facebook app, it asked me to import my contacts, which I did. To my horror, facebook replicated of all my htc facebook contacts in the people app, so I had two contact cards for each person. Therefore I removed facebook contacts through the facebook app. There is a setting once you are inside the app to remove them. Even though I only have HTC Facebook contacts now, I have two different facebook icons. Some contacts have big, sort of vertical f's, and some have small, sort of diagonal f's. Not sure what these different icons signify.
After using Facebook on HTC sense, i got data from facebook under notes tab in this form:
<sn></sn>
<HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->
<Facebook>id:XXXXXXXXXX/friendof:XXXXXXXXXX</Facebook>
</HTCData>

Sine I'm not using sense rom anymore, is there any way to quickly remove this from all of my contacts?
Would also like to know Want to clean up my contacts after moving from HTC.
Hi folks,
As I knew that, from Sense 3.5 there would be no "Facebook for HTC Sense". However I do like it much because it syncs automatically my Facebook friend's informations such as email, birthday. Thus I do not need to add manually.
I did search but had no luck to have this app Can anyone help me on this issue?
Thanks in advance,
T.

If you log on the the Facebook app (get it from market if you don't have it) it will ask you if you want to authorise it for HTC Sense and then it works as Facebook for HTC Sense did on 3.0
Exactly. You will have the same functions of the Facebook for HTC Sense just using the normal facebook app.
When you add the account it will ask you to authorize HTC Sense on you're facebook account and voilà, you're done. Same results with only 1 account setted up instead of two. A big big improvement, more efficient, more elegant and more battery friendly (1 sync instead of two )
But I have a problem with the Facebook for HTC Sense in Sense 3.5. Facebook photos of my friends can be shown in all HTC apps (People, Message) but in Whatsapp, they're all empty. Previously in Sense 3.0 ROM, photos are shown correctly in Whatsapp. So there's an incompatibility between Sense 3.5 and Whatsapp?
One more issue i'm facing is that I don't get the status update of the person on my screen as was with the FB for HTC sense app.
ANyone else facing the same issue as me?

I have exactly the same issue with GOSMS - it appears to be using an old Facebook picture - does anyone know where Facebook for HTC Sense stored the pictures?
I'm pretty sure missing contact pictures can be fixed by booting into recovery and and selecting 'Fix Permissions'

Just tried that in recovery and makes no difference.
But I installed Line yesterday and found its contact list has photo shown correctly. So it maybe up to Whatsapp now to fix it.
i had similar problem.. I just booted recovery, wiped everything, reflashed rom, and voila.. I got all pictures set, with good quality..
Hope that helps

today I did a little bit more test. I removed facebook sync account completely. to my surprise, whatapps is able to show contact photo again. these photos are from my gmail contacts, not from facebook.
I then add facebook account again and whatapps contact photo disappears.
so now its quite conclusive that whatapps is having problem with Facebook for HTC Sense in Sense 3.5.
Maybe, in some way, its bugged because you have several photos on one contact ( FB, Gmail and others)..
Try deleting all photos but 1 for each contact..
Hope this helps..
Cheers

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried removing all other photos, leaving just Facebook photo. But no, it still doesn't show in Whatsapp.

It might actually be related to the photo itself. I have a friend who has a different photo in Gmail and Facebook. And these accounts are linked. If I change the default photo in People to Gmail photo, Whatsapp is able to show it. If I change it to Facebook photo, Whatsapp cannot.
So the problem is not the linkage but rather some attribute of the photo. And I'd say the resolution of the photo might be the culprit here since Facebook uses higher resolution while that of Gmail is very low. Perhaps Whatsapp is unable to handle that kind of resolution.
Of course, that's my theory only. Can others in this thread try to do something to see if I'm right or wrong?
I am facing the Same thing.
in Sense 3.0,Whatsapp pics of facebook work properly.
In Sense 3.5, same thing happens as yours.
So it's a sense 3.5 issue

The latest Whatsapp version seems to have fixed this problem. Now contact pictures are shown properly.
2.7.431?
im still having the same problem
Problem still persists for me, though I used a workaround which is SyncMyPix app from Market. Pics are fixed, but that's just a workaround.
I'm having the exact same problem.
Same here
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.
Hi there!
After trying some roms with HTC Sense on my nexus one, I think I am going back to CM7, but I will miss a lot the Sense Facebook sync.
It not only syncs the hi-res pics and makes them available to all the apps, it also syncs the phones of your facebook contacts that you don't have in your phone contact list, and also makes them available to other apps, so you can find your facebook friends in whatsapp and viber even if you don't have their phone.
There are any other application that does this?
I only found apps for syncing the pics, but not for the phone numbers.
Thanks! (and sorry for my English)

There is HaxSync, it does it's job perfectly. But it's for ICS only...
CM7 has Facebook sync built back into it, just need to install the Facebook app ;-)
Delivered by Western Union in the rain after 70 Years
can also use syncpix and ditch the official Fbook for friendcaster
use the "thanks" if I helped you at all

Does it syncs the phone numbers too? With Sense it does, and you have your facebook contacts in whatsapp even if you don't have their phone numbers.

I just tried that, and the Facebook app shows the phone numbers in the dialer, but doesn't share it with other applications like whatsapp or viber
