Hi people,
i just bought my Nexus S (I9023, S_LCD version), It is running on 2.3.4 now and I noticed there's no facebook contact sync option. I learned that google removed it (damn sh*t!)
is there any app that can do facebook contact sync? (I used SyncMyPix but I need the real contact sync not just pictures)
If there are no apps to do it, is rooting an option? I hope someone here can provide a step by step easy to follow rooting and installing ROMs coz I dont want to mess my new phone. plus im not a pro when it comes to Android modification (was able to root my x10 mini pro and installed xrecovery and JIT but thats about it. and i did them the easy way, not the hardcore manual way), so i still consider myself an amateur when it comes to this.
anyway, i hope someone here can help me. that's the only thing missing in my Nexus S, the facebook sync. and again, im using the I9023 S-LCD version, with 2.3.4 installed. Just thought I should mention that in case there are different ROM versions for specific Nexus S model.
Thanks guys!!
You can use Contapps
This post should be in the questions and answers section.
There are custom roms (modified versions of the OS) that support facebook sync. One of which is cyanogenmod. You will need to root your phone and there are many guides in the general section that tell you step by step how to do it. Most everyone here was in the same boat as you one time or another and i think we can agree that reading and searching gave the answers.

Nice! I'm gonna try it. Thanks buddy!
Sync my pics do the job.
If I'm not mistaken the Samsung Infuse has a birds-eye view beach live wallpaper with waves, correct? Does anyone know if it's been extracted for use on other devices? All I can find is the Galaxy S II beach live wallpaper, but that one is different...
I want this too can someone hook up the apk
here ya go. there is another one for the vibranr that i dont have but it is kinda low res. not sure which one you were looking for.
edit: this might only work in /system/app. you might need root permissions to install it.
Thanks
I was looking for the one that is actually on the Infuse 4G
will try this out
ah its a shame i moved it to system/app on my Atrix
rebooted, it shows in the live wallpapers but when chosen it force closes
there must be something needed to be done to it, too bad im not a dev

Can anyone get it to work without root and on any device? I assume this can be done since the Galaxy S II LWPs were extracted to work that way...
My HTC One S writes from right to left ONLY when I'm using the notes app.

In what part of the world/region did you buy your phone from? What software/firmware version you have? Also is the CPU S3 or S4?

I bought the phone from Saudi Arabia. I have the S3 version.
I am not 100% sure about this, but if I recall correctly it used to write from left to right when i bought it. <-- Not too sure about this.
Android 4.0.3
So i took a screenshot
the justification does not solve the problem still
any clues?
the title is fine, it writes from left to right
Tried to set your location (currency, dates, units setting) to UK or US or something?

I downloaded a program called morelocale2 and it allowed me to change my country to stuff outside the preinstalled countries so I set it to Canada since that's where I live but it is still the same
I have the exact same problem with my htc sensation (bought in Lebanon), when I updated to ice cream sandwich and got the note app.
I contacted htc support and I received this reply: "Kindly note that this issue has been escalated for a higher level for investigation and we would contact you the moment we receive an update."
I hope that someone knows how to fix it and thanks for the help.
"I can see how the text starting on the other side of the screen would be quite the problem. I would be glad to address this with you. In regards to this, many settings of the phone are set to what region they were manufactured for. I took one of our test One S phones and there isn't a setting in the app to change the text orientation. As a workaround for this, I'd suggest trying a third party app from Google Play store. I'd like for you to give this a shot, and if you have any further problems then let me know. In the meanwhile, I hope you have a great day!"
This is the answer I got from HTC when I told them about the problem, does any one know such app?

I know you are not rooted
If it is only the notes app can you somehow uninstall/delete it and re install it or another note app from market
I rooted my phone same day I bought it, so am not familiar on how to do that stuff on non-rooted phones
There is no way to uninstall it using the normal uninstallation methods and I have not found a way to download it again. I would gladly download a diff notes app however I cannot find a semidecent one that I like

Evernote.

Agreed Evermore is great. Perfect sync from pc to phone.
Hahaha! Sorry, but that's got to be so annoying it's hilarious.
Try Evernote. HTC Notes actually syncs with Evernote anyways, which is why it asks for you to login when you turn it on for the first time. Great app, has all the features of stock Notes + a lot more.
Here's the market link...

Hi all, this is my first post in here so plz bear with me if i sound like such a newb.. so i got my HTC one S last week, after being totally bored with 4yrs of iOS.. i gotta say everythin is great.. except for the crappy Calendar, no iOS-style shake to Undo, and this little issue with Notes: it also insists on typing English characters from right to Left! Needless to say this is frustrating for sum1 who uses Notes multiple times a day.. and such a disappointment for an -almost- flawless device & OS.. No i do not think downloading a third-party application, or rooting the device is worth the hassle because i am not trying to locate a star in space, i just wanna type sum text for god's sake! come on there has to be a solution to this.. Furthermore, the iPhone 5 is coming out soon.. just sayin.. FYI i also got my device from Saudi, running ICS 4.0.3 + HTC Sense 4.0.. Cheers

Run a WWE RUU. Why did you talk about the iPhone 5? It has no relevance. The problem is where you bought the device from, which is Saudi Arabia. Arabic writes from right to left, which is why you should buy it from another country if you're from a different country.
A new rom

To tell the truth, i didn't face this problem on my EVO 3D before. . . But it started when I installed the stock rom made for middle East and updated to ICS. . . I don't know but I believe if you flashed a none Middle East rom you'll get it fixed. . .
hello i had an galaxy s and i liked the feature with contact (slide right to call and slide left to send message )it was really usefull
and i was thinking if there is a possibility that we can have a mod or a widget or anything that can make sense have some feature of touchwizz ?

Okay... so you want touchwiz (not touchwizz) on your HTC phone? You do realize that there is a reason why only Samsung phones get that. And why only HTC phones get sense...
This was literally two posts up from yours too lol.

first of all thank you for your response and it's not my post I'm still new here .
but the feature that i liked it's the one with contacts.
and for my htc one S i rooted it and unlocked it .
i will try to look for this "TeamFire|Touchwiz" if it will have what i wanted.
and thanks for the link.
Hi to all!
I'm new to the forum, and I'm glad I have discovered this community! What I like most is Android's flexibility!
By the way, I have a question for you:
I'm fond of the old S Planner App I had on my Galaxy S4 (the one with the leather/paper colors), and I'd like to have it on my new Galaxy S7. Obviously, it isn't available for download on any store, so I tried to extract the .apk file from my old phone with the Apk Extractor found on the Play Store.
Everything went apparently well, the apk was successfully created, and I imported it on the S7 via Dropbox. Sadly, when I tried to install it, I got the "App Installation Failed" message, and I couldn't get it working.
Do you guys have any advice about this? Is there a way I can get the good ol' S Planner on my S7?
Thanks!!!
(P.s. sorry for not providing a screenshot of the app; the forum prevents me to post links to outside websites, and images too. To get an idea of the app I'm talking about, search on Google for "samsung s planner", images: it's the one with leather/paper color set).
I do remember this app. Those apps rely on Samsung's TouchWiz framework and I believe that has changed considerably since the s4. That being said, I believe the successor to that is the S Note app. Check it out here [http://www.samsungapps.com/appquer...ng.android.snote&cntyTxt=311&equipID=SM-G935V
Hope that helps somewhat. I know it's not 100%, but between that and "Memo" it should hopefully cover your bases.

Did you resolve this issue? I'm in the same boat. I'm really frustrated I can't colour whole days in etc.
