1. You can try Haxsync app from playstore (paid app)
2. try AOKP JB RC3 rom - it says fb contact sync in its features description
3. Follow this tutorial [niranjanthilak(dot)com/facebook-sync-for-android-ics-devices/] [replace (dot) with . ]- (gives multiple options)
Frankly...I've tried them all and some other things also..even disassembled contactsprovider.apk with the help of the above tutorial...
But NONE of them gives me the expected result as we get on sense...
The best way is to flash a new sense based rom...workes perfectly...
Suggestion - try Apex Sense V1 Rom by Apex-Predator - its faster than other sense roms and u also get a taste of ICS and sense 4
Try these apps bro ..works great :good:
Sync.me ,HaxSync or Friendcaster Pro also has contact sync with hd pictures too :good:
these apps only create a contact with fb profile link with the latest fb profile pic...I dont think these apps sync phone numbers from fb account..do they?

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.
Hey nerds,
I write this here in the developer section cause I'm not really shure if it fits in the general secction.
I tried different ROMs during the last weeks and instead of one I used the FACEBOOK contact pictures are not showing in whatsapp. If the contact uses a google account contact picture everything works well.
I tried different workarounds to fix it but nothing helped.
-Installing whatsapp from the market, new login, restore message backup or not
-restoring a titanium backup from a working rom including and exccluding data
-erasing app data, stop the app, deleting app cache, actualizing contact
-install whatsapp first then facebook and vice versa
...nothing works
If I use a ROM where the pictures where not showing from the beginning there I can find no fix.
I tried the following roms
LBC Mod 0.6 - everything works fine
Runnymede S 3.3a amd former versions - don't work
MIUI - don't work
CM 7.1 (final and latast nightlys) - don't work
SAGA 3D 3.0 an former versions - don't work
If I switch the contact pictures to google it works but I do not have pictures in all contacts there.
Only ROM it works is LBC which is still a very good ROM but a little otdated and I definetly like sense 3.5
Is there a known fix I didn't tried or found here on XDA oder google?
thanks
Nick
I've had this issue myself too...
From what i've learned over the course of the last couple of months, i see that the Whatsapp contact pictures work on all the Sense 3.0 ROMs i have tried....(The GoAPK leaked release by Proxuser, Hyperion by Lowveld) and DO NOT work on any of the Sense 3.5 ROMs (Runny ports by both Proxuser and Lowveld). I must be honest, i never tried CM7 or MIUI... I'm a regular sense guy.
I figure it is probably because of the way Facebook integration has been implemented in Sense 3.5....instead of the separate Facebook for HTC Sense account, and Facebook regular account, there is now a consolidated account in 3.5 which embraces the both. That has screwed things up for Whatsapp somehow...
The photo integration is working well with third party apps and Whatsapp shows contact pictures from, say, Friendcaster Pro, but not from native Facebook. I've solved the problem by assigning pics manually to contacts uncer the "Phone Contacts" account and they show up in Whatsapp just fine. I know its painful, but hey, whatever works, right?
However, other third party apps have easy access to facebook photos from my phonebook, so it's not like sense is at fault here...
I think this needs to be looked at by the developers of Whatsapp, rather than try to overhaul an entire version of Sense. I have been in touch with the developers of the app and put in a request for Sense 3.5 integration fix.
Now just waiting patiently for a bug-fix update from Whatsapp. I suggest more people mail them so this issue is taken seriously... Just a thought.
Cheers.
So I'm looking forward to a fix by the developers. Thanks for answering.

I have the same issue - try the app syncmypix which has been suggested on androidforums.
Ive tried it and it works - now have contact pics for contacts from facebook or joined with facebook and they feed through to whatsapp - so it is a valid workaround...
Right now I am back on LBC (best ROM for my use so far and very good battery life) - but synched my contact pict in google manually. I dont't have that much facebook contacts (I know them all in real life ) so this was not that much work. So evertime I play with sense 3.5 (which I really like) I will have my contact pics in whatsapp. Nevertheless, this seems to be problem on a lot of devices using facebook app and whatsapp (I searched a lot) - so this is not a problem with our devices using sense 3.5.
I'm on a different phone and rom but Sense 3.6 and is having the same problem!!
This is neither sense nor any rom related. The problem is caused by whatsapp itself. By any reason the app is not able to show contact pictures from the Facebook app itself.
In sense 3.0 Roms and below you could use Facebook for sense to sync the contacts - no problem for whatsapp. The newer sense versions are using the Facebook app for syncing. If you use a third party app like friendcaster the pics are shown correctly.
I recommend to sync the pics with your Google account manually, this is what I did. And then use the Google pics in contacts. I know this is a little work to do and there are apps in the store you can use therefore. But you only have to do it once.

Moved to proper forum.
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.
Goodmorning..

Well, for Sense ROMs, the Twitter for Sense is custom built for sync purposes... So if that is working you needn't bother with the Twitter app anyway. That takes care of problem no 1
As for syncing contacts on the non-Sense ROM (tickles me every-time I type that)... which one are you talking about?
P.S. : As far as contact syncing goes, you won't find anything better than Sense! Period.
At now i don't have a Sense with ROM..
And with the Twitter app i can't sync the contact with the phone becouse don't work..
I like to know if there is an app or a solution for solve this problem..
Thanks
