Hi guys. I need to use two different Facebook accounts at the same time, one for work and one for my private stuff. Is there any way to install the official Facebook app twice? Firendcaster is not an option for me, I don't like the interface of it.

Sir, please use the Q&A sections for your questions.
But since I am here,
first I don't have or do FB....but if must keep your secrets separate from work, why don't you use the browser "go mobile" for one and the app for your other one. Or if your work requires you to have a FB, why not just keep you private stuff....private.
I remember reading it was a violation of Facebook's Terms of Use to have multiple accounts, but never the less I don't FB.

Hello, I've spent the last hour linking my Google Contacts with Facebook. So i think, i don't wanna do this again next time I flash new rom or change phone. So is it possible to make some kind of backup that will remember what contacts where linked.
If not, is there an app that can rename all my Google Contacts according to the names of the linked Facebook account.
Are you using a HTC phone with a Sense ROM? If you are, then the People app in Sense adds a tag to each contact once you link it. Using this it automatically restores Facebook link when you factory reset/flash a new ROM. To confirm that it added those tags for you, open a contact and look under the 'Notes' section. Also log into your Gmail account on a computer, open a few random linked contacts and see if this tag is there under 'Notes'. If it's there, it's backed up with Google contacts and when you restore the contacts to the phone, it'll automatically link them after signing into Facebook.

i wish i could help man, i want to do the same thing too
Unfortunately, I don't think it is really possible as these are two separate sets of contacts. The best way to alleviate some of the hassle is to transfer some of the data over, as in, transfer the facebook info into your Google contacts.
Facebook info is not editable as it is stored on their sore and merely linked to it. Ubuntu One os working on their contact management which would slow for this as it syncs facebook, Google and any other services to you ubuntu account then would sync to your mobile.

I've added all the email address of my friends to my Google contacts. I manually did this one day on my computer, copy pasting email addresses from Facebook to Google contacts. Since then I've never had this problem. Facebook automatically identifies my contacts through their email ID and links them. It's a time consuming process, but you'll only need to do it once and for every new contact that you add.

Well i'm hardly a developer, but if it possible to access to contacts joined contacts from the android API, and if we build an application that would read information from facebook(with permission, like all FB apps) then i guess it would be possible to store lets say profile id from fb to google contacts notes, and then with the same app, you would be able to join them again in case of new phone/new rom.
Would you say thats possible? Would anyone try to build that?
I think i will try to make something like that after I finish the college year.
HTC has a feature like that, as was mentioned. So it's possible. It would be worth it to try! Basically the htc app automatically searches and paris contacts, based on names, emails, numbers, etc. them you are given a notification, and prompted with the suggestions and you can choose to link. This only happens on startup, so am app that could be called on at any time would be nice!

When on contacts screen, press menu> import/export> export to sdcard
Restore them whenever you flash a new ROM, don't tell if it wasn't what you were looking for

I know it has been a long time since this questioned has been asked, but I wanted to let people annoyed by this problem that I have made a free application that can backup and restore those joins. It can help those with mild OCD like myself.
It is called Total Backup and can be found in Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.softwareshack.totalbackup. If you happen to use it don't hesitate to write to me any bugs or features you may like. Feedback is very important to me.
Hello anyone, is there a way to install the same app twice on my phone and keeping 2 sets of app data?
In my case I need to to operate 2 different Facebook accounts and I'd like to use the official Facebook app for both. Logging in and out multiple times an hour is not an option, and I don't like the other Facebook clients from the play store as well...
Thanks in advance!

Simple answer - no, it's not possible.
Long answer, yes it could be done, but whatever you try would require some form of interaction - you would either have to create multiple user accounts on your phone (semi-possible under JB) or use Titanium Backup to freeze one copy and un-freeze the other (should be doable, but I've never tried it).
I would also point out the advice BigJoe gave you under your other thread;-
first I don't have or do FB....but if must keep your secrets separate from work, why don't you use the browser "go mobile" for one and the app for your other one. Or if your work requires you to have a FB, why not just keep you private stuff....private.

The only real solution is to accept that you will simply have to either use the mobile browser version for one account or, if you require notifications, use another app for one of the accounts.
Will try the freezing, and thanks.

hi, my friend, i did it before, it was successful
one app, but you can build two different accounts, hope this is helpful for you
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.
What all would people recommend for email.
I have been using the stock app on my phone but it's a bit restricted I think.
I've tried K9 but it's so fecking convoluted and overly complicated.
All I want is an app that will allow me to access multiple accounts easily, and quite simple delete an email which will then be deleted from my mail provider server.
I've tried to set this up on K9 and it just won't work. Having turned on my laptop I've just found I have hundreds of mails still on my account which I thought I'd deleted! Having come from Apple I'm now a fully fledged android convert but the one thing that Apple does better is mail management!

I've been using Blue Mail. It has a nice simple interface and provides some options without being overloaded like some apps.

Make sure you have your email app set up as IMAP (& IMAP authorised on your email account) that way your email will sync. It sounds like it's currently set up as POP which just downloads copies of your email. POP doesn't mark as read or delete from your account. IMAP does.

Ok, so I delete one account from k9 and set it back up bit this time add imap and it's now working more like I want it too. However, the app is still showing costs that don't exist when I look at the account on my laptop. I deleted some folders from my account.?

Hi,
I've buyed my Wife the U11 life after she have destroyed accidently her A9. She is well with the phone, but the GMail App makes some Problems. If she answer me (Outlook Exchange Accounts) all Answers from her will copy the whole Thread into the Mail -is she Answer several times I have to search into displayed Thread for her Answers as the newest Answers will be displayed with following History frm beginning, then the Answer before is displayed with whole History, and so on.
We never have this Problem with the HTC Mail App in the Past (using HTC Phones since 2003), but with Android One the HTC Apps are gone of course. How is is possible to use a useful Mail App like HTC Mail? Just to install it via sideload is not working. The GMail Exchange App is crap, there are no really usefu Options provided, it is more like an iPhone -WE will decide what you want and need. :-/
What we can use the HTC Mail App instead, and how?
Best regards
Maybe try this? It's HTC Mail available on the playstore...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.android.mail
No, unfortunately not. So I'd tried to install via Sideload (downloaded .apk installed) but it fail if I try to start it. I think it depends on other HTC Software that have to be installed in the Background. May someone know what have to be installed?

you can try yahoo mail app from the play store what i use for everything outlook to google and even more
I would guess that there is no working htc mail app for the android one version, as it is n.a. in this thread too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438.
You could try the outlook for android app. As far as I've understood your problem, it should do what you asked for. It's free without adds, but you may want to change the signature of your mails in settings.
