Hello,
I bought my nexus s today, and i noticed that Facebook wouldn't sync to my phone! it starts by not asking whether or not to sync contacts when i install the Facebook app and continues by not responding to 'ass account' in 'accounts & syncs' in settings.
I really like the option that i can see my fav's pictures.
can i solve this? any suggestions?
but all and all amazing phone, specially after coming from here, after two years
Google removed this option on Nexus S...
thanks, i guess it's like Google want that i will root this phone..
Please don't cross post in multiple forums.
If you just want contact pics, try "syncmypix"

or use CM7.. unsure why people wouldn't want to use it. CM7 enables Facebook syncing again.
Don't even say you don't want to use it because its "unstable" its stable if you know how to properly set it up.

blasphemy much? especially when its a "Developer Phone" and its pretty much encouraging you to hack it. but everybody has their taste
and no. i dont believe anybody wants to run their phone stock/unrooted.. especially when we're on XDA, this forum is primarily here to hack your phone and to maximize the most out of your ~$530-$580 purchase ($199 with contract). If people wanted to leave it the way it is, they would be on other forums but they found XDA, with the majority of the users here are here to mod their phones. I would find it reasonable that they have a interest in doing this.
People primarily leave their phone stock on the forum because they're afraid that they're going to void the warranty / whatever. I'm just pointing out that it is a very hard phone to brick and they should use custom ROMs because they really do improve the Android experience.

I just really find it funny when people's answers is always "root it", "use cm7", "adb this", etc..etc.. (Personally I do run CM7 Nightlies, but get tired of these 'replies'). Not everyone wants to root their phone, not everyone wants to run a custom ROM. Some people just want to run their phones stock, even if it is a "developer phone" (which is an argument in itself). It's as bad as people saying "you have a 'developer phone'" course their's always bugs in it when someone points out a simple bug.

Just like what I editted my post previously in regards about XDA & users. XDA is primarily a forum for getting the most of your phone. So yeah, I will continue assuming that they want to get the most out of their phone. This forum isn't for unrooted/unmodded areas. Thats what Android Central is for (no disrespect to Android Central, I think its a great website but they are more friendly towards stock roms).
And no it has nothing to do with "developer phone," anything that Google makes is considered a beta. Especially when you get a product from them in its early stages. Early adopters encounters bugs, its apart of Google.
We all pay a price for being early adopters, it could be a success or fail. No one knows.
Android isn't iOS where everybody will run on Stock. Android is a versatile mobile OS, we have many options. If we don't like something that Google or a manufacturer did.. we're able to change it. So if we dont like Google's decision on Facebook Sync we can take it into our own hands. The OP wanted sync with FaceBook, I simply gave him a solution to fix it by flashing a custom ROM such as CM7. Am I coercing him to root / flash? No. the decision is up to him. But if he did try it out, I'm certain that he will enjoy it.
Edit: After reading this thread once again:
The OP said:

So your reference about him not rooting is false. Rooting is a gateway towards flashing custom ROMs. And stop trying to be a moderator by telling him to stop posting in multiple forums.
cool so some can sync with som roms and som not an stock roms cant sysnc too
but the real interessting thing is:
how to get any rom to sync with facebook????
some roms have "fixed" that so ho to get this "fix"???

if the ROMs are based off CM7 then it can sync. Unsure if Master changed it for Axura or not. But I believe at this point, it'd be CM7 and MIUI with FB Sync (uncertain about MIUI but it is based off CM7)
Edit: GBCollab is Cm7 too
hmm ... but interessting thing is:
why is it working with CM7? what did they make that it is working?
i think they didnt call the big abracadabra and then it was working ...
so why is it working in CM7 and is it possible to get this "what ever it is" in to a other rom??

Because Android is AOSP? And CM7 is compiled from AOSP with tweaks and additions. All they have to do is find the line that disables the sync and remove it or modify it.
I could imagine that if u use GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk or GooglePartnerSetup.apk from stock 2.3.2 Rom it may work again, since 2.3.3 is the first rom that has fb sync disabled. But i didnt try it out and im on cm7 anyhow, i just think it may be worth a try.

it works in cyanogen because he turned it back on. it is open source software, so you can do whatever you want to it. google removed this feature, but cyanogen added it back. pretty simple, and that is why it is always worth using a custom ROM over stock ROM. no reason to never root.
good thing .. finaly i try to get somthing more ...
is there anyone who can tell us what we have to change that we all can turn it on again?
or with other words ... is there a tool to turn it back on?
thx - flo

no. just flash CM7. if you want it THAT badly, go get the source of CM7 and go look at it.. and compile your own AOSP with that line of code to re-enable but its way too much work. just flash CM7
I though fb sync still worked on CM7 as he uses the android open source version of 2.3 and allot of the other roms out there use the nexus s release of 2.3 as their base?
Facebook sync wasn't disabled on the N1 just the NS
Hey guys
So I just got my Nexus S not too while ago from mobilicity.
I heard the benefits of rooting it.
I have been reading around and is pretty confused.. there seems to be quit a bit of different versions floatinga round
I am on WCDMA network and want to root it into the new custom rom
Can someone point me to the right direction?
what is the best newbie friendly guide and rom right now?
man I never had trouble figuring out stuff like this but... dam I am really confused about rooting.
You mentioned WCDMA, so I'm assuming that you have a Sprint Nexus S 4G. If that is the case, head on over to the "Nexus S 4G Android Development" forum.
That is the part I am confused about
I have the Nexus s 9020T apparently

so right now im using apps like Go Laucher Ex, Widget locker etc
I will still be able to use these right?
Also what about the one called cyanogen and another one that starts with M something
I ALWAYS hear about these two when people talk about custom ROMs
Pretty much every ROM you will see is based off CM7, which stands for CyanogenMod. It's a team that tweaks the custom ROMs enabling a lot more features in the phone that Google left out for the public.
The 'M', is probably MIUI? MIUI brings a graphical overhaul to the entire Android UI. Some people say that it makes it look a lot like the iPhone, which it kind of does. Can be fun to try if you get sick of the stock Android look and feel.
It's up to you to find the one you feel best with, almost all the last generation ROMs for Gingerbread are fast, stable and bring good battery life.
And yes, you'll still be able to use all those apps, and more.

MIUI is based on CyanogdenMod with some of their own features. The theming is pretty extensive and you can custimize nearly every aspect of it.
They are also releasing their Ice Cream Sandwhich ROM on friday which is awesome
all i can suggest is read, read and do more reading of each ROMs postings. Each ROM has their issues.... wether it be GPS, Wifi, No 4G connection or maybe just certain apps not working on it... so
Choose your ROM carefully depending on your needs.
Ask the specific question to the forum of whatever ROM your using since the developers or users can answer them faster or easier.
I would use the one I suggested first or maybe use on that your buddy is using so you can have someone to ask or call without waiting for someone on these forums.
Good luck
cheers
thanks for all the help guys
going to do it tonight after I get back
looking forward to it
Yea MIUI was the other one lol

You'll have to either wipe data and reflash the rom or just uninstall wallet.

just cannot ask in deve section yet since i dont have 10 posts
I will do my best to keep this short and also hope it hasn't already been answered for the sanity of the fantastic developers on this site. I know you guys hate repetition.
I've recently gone through a breakup with my now-ex, and we are not on speaking terms because of his inability to maintain sanity in some situations. My problem here is that he enjoyed continuously staying updated with the most recent updates and mods for my Charge. I have no clue how to do any of this modding, and since we are not on speaking terms, I don't know what to do about my laggy, hasn't-been-modded-in-months phone.
Before I ended communication, he spoke of a possible ICS update for my Charge. He told me it was solely open-ended developer stuff, no official update or anything, but that it was surprisingly stable. Even with him not in contact with me at this time, I would still like to see if I could do this 'update' myself. Is it possible for a complete noob like myself to do it? Or should I just leave it alone and find someone entirely more experienced to help me through it? If it's going to brick my phone with the slightest mistake, I'd rather not even try. But, like I said, you guys are the experts.
I would enjoy any kind of assistance, if possible, to install this pseudo-ICS; unless I can wait another however long the official update is for Verizon, un-root back to stock, and have the official ICS.
I guess my basic questions are:
When will the official ICS become available for my Charge through Verizon? I know it's available stock with the Galaxy Nexus (which I want quite badly) already.
Could a complete noob like myself do this with the help of you guys giving me links and step-by-step instructions (if you would be so kind)?
How easy is it to mess up without clear instructions?
I really appreciate any kind of input. MANY thanks for reading!

No ics. No word on official update for ics. If I were you I would go back completely stock. Links are in dev section

Girls?! On the internet?!
If you're not comfortable with any of this stuff then just go back to stock. There isn't any ICS, and there probably won't be, at least for a long time. best you can do is flash a theme or something.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
My vote? Just learn how to mod the phone! It's really not that hard. Here's a post to get you familiar: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4847-guide-new-users-guide-everything-how-to-root-rom-kernels-radios-cwm/
Don't flash the Froyo or Gingerbread links at the bottom tho, they'd a bit dated. Just check that post out to get familiar with the terms and process. While you're there, download and install ODIN (there's a link in that post).
***Before we move on...do you have Titanium Backup in your app drawer? If not, spend the $7. It's so worth it because you can save the vast majority of your data. It's worth the $7 (you may have it already because the exbf may have bought it/installed it). Get it and Google how to use it--make a full backup of system apps, users apps, and data before doing anything else.**
So, once you've read that post on RootzWiki, have downloaded ODIN, and made a backup with Titanium Backup, come back here and flash THIS file (follow the link in the 2nd paragraph for detailed instructions): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380430
OK. At this point you will be unrooted and have the latest Verizon updates on your phone. You can... choose to quit... or choose to mod more. Keep in mind, if you've figured out how to flash to stock, you know how to flash mods and can continue to mod.
If I were you, I'd check out TweakStock at this point. Flash the version WITHOUT the customized kernel. Probably your best bet. Themes should be coming out for TweakStock soon, so maybe you'll find something you like.
And yeah, regarding Ice Cream Sandwich... Not happening, at least for awhile. Don't worry about it--only the Galaxy Nexus has it right now anyway.
Thank you! This was very helpful. I'm glad you pointed it out; yes, I do have Titanium. He had the paid version, signed in my phone with his Google account, and DL'd it onto my apps.
But here is another problem I have thought of-- I don't know what kind of ROM or Kernal I have...at all. No clue. Like I said, he was the expert. He always tried to show me how to do stuff, but it always went in one ear and out the other. I'm a girl who needs to be shown something from the beginning, by trial and error, and he would simply show me something 'cool' if he came across it and show me how to install it. Haha. Not saying that was ever a bad thing, I'm extremely interested in learning, but we never really had the time, and I don't want to be alone if I screw up.
go to settings> about phone and look at your firmware version. If it's 2.3.x you're on gingerbread. (you should be, if not your bf was a noob)
If you go to Settings and you see TSM Parts you're on Infinity.
If you see poop brown as a main color theme you're stock rooted.
If you go to your lock screen and it says TweakStock in the upper right hand corner you're on TweakStock.
GummyCharged and Humble are hard to distinguish. But chances are if you're not on any of the above, you're running Humble.
For kernel: if you run a program called Voodoo Control and it says status: ext4 active near the bottom, you're running imoseyon's repacked kernel. Anything else, you're either on stock or imnuts' repack.

Megan... I love you...and I am sorry... I'm not sure if you were hoping i'd find your thread.
But heres the info needed incase.
It's the most recent rootzwiki gummycharged, it's outdated, but it's at least bloatfree. Stock leaked kernel from way back, but it was for sure 2.3. I don't play with ancient software.
When I said upadte, Verizon had finally gotten an Official 2.3, over the leaked, which I urged you to update to for stability, even with bloat, since most roms will now be based off the OTA. When I spoke of ICS, I meant on my phone, and I guess it's hard to exactly explain what open source is, roms, and ota's. But given a Dev and the right sources from Sammy and Google, it can run it. This phone just seems to lack the strong community it did with imnuts, like the fascinate.
Enjoy Inifinty. I'll be a better person someday in the long run, but right now, i've got a lot more to work on with myself rather than phones (which is why my ICS is kinda not a big deal to me as).

Charge Insufficient Memory On Device
I rooted a Droid Charge for my boss using the altered beast method, and now no matter what I do. When I try to download from the market, it tells me there is insufficient space on the device. When there is plenty of room on the sd card, and internal. Can someone please help me, I've tried a reset, and clearing the cache, and download history in the market. Any help someone could offer would be much appreciated.
I was tempted to sell off my one x and get a sg3, but I figured it's pointless since I am sure I will be getting one of the new nexus phones when they hit the market. (Hope Google doesn't drop the ball on these).
So since I am keeping this phone for awhile I am going to unlock the bootloader and put something better on it than stock sense.
I really like sense but I had to disable it because of the multitasking issue. Switched to nova launcher as well since none of the sense widgets worked after disabling the core components.
I am looking for a sense based rom with better multitasking, better battery life (mine isn't too bad right now), and the ability to remap the hot keys. I never use the recent button but I miss having a search button that isn't at different locations in every app.
What would be my best option?
Thanks.

Well... CleanROM 4.0 SE is what you want. :good:
Not sure you're allowed to make these sorts of threads though.
Not sure why there would be a rule against asking a question in the question and answer forum about which rom suits my needs the best. If there was such a rule then I apologize for breaking it , but such a rule would be pretty dumb if you ask me.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
What's the best is purely subjective and and in the past such threads have erupted in flamewars so the Mods don't allow them.
As you can tell from my post though I have am not looking for the best rom, I am looking for the rom that best suits my needs.
Just asking what I the best is of course going to bring a "What I use is the best because I use it" responses. What I wanted to know is if there is a rom that best suited the needs I described. I am sure there are other roms that can do other things in didn't list better
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I've tried them all. Personally, CleanRom DEV and King Cobra's have been my favorites. They've been very reliable for me. Although atm I'm stripping down CleanRom 4.0 [I wouldn't call it clean, personally] and removing EVERYTHING I don't need to see how low/minimal I can get the rom in size :] I know it may not sound like a difference to you, but I don't need widgets or half of every thing that comes with it or any other rom. I want the slim-lined ROM with only core components I need. I don't need the wallpapers or quite a few of the APKs that come with it. Also, I don't need my apps zipaligned everytime I reboot. I don't want it. I don't need it. When I boot my phone on, I want it ready to go ASAP. <Haven't noticed a difference with zip on/off anyways>.
So... When I'm done stripping away CleanRom 4.0 SE, And have done a full setup [Busybox, Root, SD Maid, SD Booster, Cache Mate, and The V6 Supercharger scripts, I'll give you a heads up if all my cleaning [of a clean rom ;D] is worth it. Maybe I'll upload it, But I'd get the dev's permission first.
PS, Tryout CM9. When its fully up and running I'm sure it will be great. My HTC Aria went from stock to CM9, and it was blazing fast.

But that's not what your subject says
If people just read the the thread title without actually reading my post and then start a flame war over it chances are they were going to find another thread to start one anyway. People like that don't come to a forum to learn or help, they come to a forum to stir up trouble because they have nothing better to do with their life and that's just sad.
We should all be able to discuss any subject in a mature manner without it turning into a childish argument.
Anyway, thank you for to the people that replied with answers. I appreciate it.

CleanROM is a good "off-the-shelf" solution. It has bloatware removed, and some customization - including multitasking improvemets. And it still has Sense, which is nice for those who like it. Give it a try!
If you want to find a ROM that suits your needs the best way to go about it is to take the time to actually read the threads in development for each particular ROM.

Although atm I'm stripping down CleanRom 4.0 [I wouldn't call it clean, personally] and removing EVERYTHING I don't need to see how low/minimal I can get the rom in size :] I know it may not sound like a difference to you, but I don't need widgets or half of every thing that comes with it or any other rom. I want the slim-lined ROM with only core components I need. I don't need the wallpapers or quite a few of the APKs that come with it. Also, I don't need my apps zipaligned everytime I reboot. I don't want it. I don't need it. When I boot my phone on, I want it ready to go ASAP. <Haven't noticed a difference with zip on/off anyways>.
So... When I'm done stripping away CleanRom 4.0 SE, And have done a full setup [Busybox, Root, SD Maid, SD Booster, Cache Mate, and The V6 Supercharger scripts, I'll give you a heads up if all my cleaning [of a clean rom ;D] is worth it. Maybe I'll upload it, But I'd get the dev's permission first.
PS, Tryout CM9. When its fully up and running I'm sure it will be great. My HTC Aria went from stock to CM9, and it was blazing fast.

have you tried Rom Cleaner?
look at the HTC one X international dev section, i guess it will work the same way with the XL

If people just read the the thread title without actually reading my post and then start a flame war over it chances are they were going to find another thread to start one anyway.

A better thread title would help, such as "Suggest a ROM for my needs" or even "What is your favorite ROM". There is no "best" ROM, and suggesting so is considered by many here (including myself) to be insulting to the devs that work so hard giving us these ROMs.
I go for stock because I'm for functionality and like having all of my hardware working

I don't think there's any hardware that's not working in CleanRom. I'm using CleanRom 4.0 LE and it's great.

Ditto, everything's working on CleanRom, and the dev even improved the phone by cleaning out the junk and improving multitasking. Highly recommended.

What he said. There's no reason to not use CleanROM as of right now if you like stock Sense.
How the heck does an old Windows Phone 6.5 get Jelly Bean before the Thunderbolt. Somone's managed to port Jelly Bean to the HD2 and yet all indications are that it will not get ported to the Thunderbolt. I just don't get it.

Because someone decided to spend the time to port it.
It shares the same hardware as other Android devices, that's how and because it's unstoppable and had/has a HUGE development platform.
DO WE REALLY NEED ANYMORE JB AND ICS THREADS????
SERIOUSLY!!!!
People need to start reading more.
In fact maybe if people spent more time reading instead of questioning,
then maybe they could contribute towards getting it working for us.
Just a thought....
Pretty tired of these threads though.
They don't help and the info as to why is already everywhere you look.
Not to mention that there is already a JB AOSP port being worked on for us.
Sit back and patiently wait, or contribute something!
You got 123 posts, member since 2009, and that is all you can come up with? Hopefully next time you read some before posting.

No kidding, all the posts about ICS and JB are getting old quick.
He probably just wanted to start a thread with the title "jelly bean" because it's such a hot topic. This thread should be deleted.
agree. this thread should be deleted or at least locked. this topic has been beaten to death, repeatedly. a quick search of the thunderbolt threads would find an identical topic incorrectly posted in thunderbolt development that was, well, not well received and got locked.

I am actually quietly developing JB for this device, but due to RIM lock it is unusable as a phone. JB works and with the HTC dev tools you can compile it with the tbolt drivers and it works like a charm, except for calling, mms, and ya know being a PHONE, heck I have gotten this to run Ubuntu natively WITHOUT android, just wait or develop one yourself, please don't come here QQing to us, we don't care. HTC are very good at releasing RIL within a two year time period of releasing their devices, but VZW are very tight nit on their LTE and don't want too much information released for other companies to make LTE devices without DNA and DNR signatures. WiFi is confirmed working so if you use google voice and groove IP go ahead and contact me I will send you a link to my rom, but I repeat ALL PHONE FEATURES EDGE, 2G, 3G, LTE MMS FM RADIO DO NOT WORK AT ALL!!!
