How do I get Dialer One to display my Facebook contacts?

I used the Facebook application, and they're all there in my Contacts app, but in Dialer One it only shows my Google contacts (and it doesn't even show their synced photos). I didn't see any option to show my social network contacts.

same issue.

Necrobump! But really, did anyone ever find an answer for this?

Have you tried going to Menu --> Display options in Dialer One and looking in the "Choose contacts to display" section? You'll have to have sync enabled in the Facebook app first, of course.

The problem is Facebook changed their app so only the stock dialer could show Facebook photos. The only work around that I know of is to install and run an app called photo unlocker. Its free in the market. You must be rooted to use it. Also its buggy so you might have to run it a few times but it works for me. Now any dialer app I install can use Facebook photos. Hope this helps.

I get photos in Dialer One just fine with the official Facebook app. The only issue is that they are low-res and look ugly on the incoming call screen.

Noxious, I see no such option. It's not a matter of photos. The contacts themselves don't show up.

You take your phone and you look it in the face and say " dialer one show me ya moves" then you toss your phone in front of you and swing your fist at it while yelling "FALCON PUNCH". Problem solved, phone now displays FB contacts.

The best solution for this is to use Go Contacts. It has an integrated themeable smart dialer and has way more options than Dialer One. The option you're looking for is included in Go Contacts.

Photo Unlocker does it. Root required, by the way.

Go Contacts doesn't seem to want to do fb contacts either =\
moreover: what I've noticed is, it's only SOME facebook contacts, and not others. There's one call I got from a guy... in the call log it shows as his number, but when i click on the blank contact picture on the left. it shows me his fb profile

Worked for me... good find!

Thanks for the replies guys. I've been meaning to say though, there are still some contacts on FB which Go contacts refuses to show =\

Use TouchPal... much better app IMO. All of my Facebook contacts show.

[Q] 2D Gallery?

I really hate the 3D Gallery and all the 2D Gallery apk's i've tried won't install.
I don't mind having both if installed rather than replacing if this is easier.
Any ideas?
Thanks

JustPictures!. Awesome gallery app that you can also view your Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, etc. Fast and smooth. I hate the 3D Gallery.

Just tried Justpictures!
The app is not bad... but the thing hogged my processor until I had to uninstall and eventually reboot (despite killing it, the thing rises from the dead!)

Awesome thanks, i do prefer the standard 2D gallery but this will do just fine for now
*EDIT*
Actually now i've changed some of the settings so it looks less "cartoony" ... i love it!
Cheers

Wow, JustPictures is awesome

Annoying issue's i've found no i've had a chance to play with it ...
- When you delete a photo it doesn't delete it from the main gallery
- No upload/share options

Actually it does both.
1. The main Gallery app doesn't see the change, I have a widget on my desktop that's "reload media" and it forces the phone to re-read media on the "sd" card, so when I go back to the gallery, it will "see" that it's gone. You can normally do it by force closing the Gallery app or relaunching it a couple times for it to see changes.
2. tap and hold a picture, or while viewing a picture press menu, then select SEND PHOTO, then it'll open up the "Share" menu.

Ok thanks.
Ahh i see ... thats why in the main gallery when i choose the photo that should have deleted it's blurry.. because the main gallery app has just stored/zoomed in on the thumbnail

Try this

Go to the market and download Launcher Pro. It's free and will kill the 3d drawer and revert back to the old school 2d instead. There are a few other benefits to using Launcher Pro. Hope this helped!!

[Q] Changed Google Sync: Google+ photos replaced by Google Photos auto backup?

Untill a while ago it was clear, Google Photos whould sync the Google+/picasa photo content to your phone, Google+ would sync the social media part, and Google+ Photos was responsible for the auto backup part to sync your stuff back to the cloud.
I now find something called "Google Photos Auto Backup" calling the shots for the auto backup stuff, what the Google+ Photos entry used to do.
Does anyone know why these two are both there?

I'm wondering that as well...

I don't know, but after the latest Google plus update it enabled most of the Google plus sync that I had disabled before. Annoying.

I believe I figured it out by just trying stuff like a maniac
With 'Google+ photos' turned off, the only thing that stopped working was new photos I posted to Google+ not being pushed down to the photos app.
The auto backup feature has just been made a separate sync option.
So:
Google photos: sync google+/picasa albums to gallery app.
Google+ photos: same story but only for the photos app.
Google photos auto backup: new sync option pulled apart from google+ photos, only to auto backup from device image folders.

Let's be honest - this is a godforsaken mess.
There needs to be ONE app included in the OS for photos, and it should offer to sync them to various places with checkboxes. I don't know what's so difficult about that.
If expert users who know Android inside and out have trouble working out what various apps are for/do, then you can bet your bottom dollar the average user has literally NO chance of figuring it out.
I sometimes wonder if Google ever tests these ideas out on regular people, rather than just their blinkered engineers at Mountain View.

I was trying to keep my spirit up in this, but you nailed the real question here
Been on Android since Eclair, and it took me a day to test and find the differences once more.
Asked my veteran Android buddies. Also clueless, but we (and you ) can't stand not knowing. So testing, trying, figuring it out.
That kind of behavior is not to be expected from the average user indeed.

My personal preference would be for Google to unlink Photos from the wakelock-hog Google+, and get rid of Gallery completely. And have Photos just sync photos where the user chooses to. At the moment I cannot use Photos because I don't want/use Google+ on my phone, so Gallery is my only option.

Google recently had it set up where if you delete a photo on "photos" it deletes it off your device finally. Decided to freeze gallery since I wouldn't be surprised if they get rid of it on 4.4.3.

alternative gallery.

I hate the **** gallery on this phone. Love basically anything else about it and being one takes tons of this and loves organizing them is there a better gallery app without ads? Missing my LG G6 cause it's gallery was perfect.

Try this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-gallery-quickpic-based-4-7-4-t3790425

Ive just come from using galaxy phones. The stock app on that is way way better than the one on the op7p. I'd love to be able to import it over somehow. I'm currently using F-Stop gallery which is pretty good

I have Google photos app along with my Amazon prime photos but I still miss the simple gallery that was LG even Samsung's is better on my old gs6. I'll pay $5 for a decent app but all on play store seem to be bad

I'm using Simple Gallery Pro

Only Google photos here, actually i disabled stock gallery and even stock camera app opens Google photos as default.

Doesn't disabling stock Gallery prevent you from viewing photos taken in the camera app?
I use both Gallery and Google Photos, to reply to OP.

No, it opens whatever gallery app is set as default

Just paid for memoria app and it's a decently made app. Seems best I can find at moment. Since the gallery ICS app doesn't work with pie

Oh I see, maybe that's why I was dealing with issues when I previously disabled the stock Gallery (didn't select a new default).
However I noticed slow motion videos don't properly play on my iMac unless I edit and save the video with the stock Gallery app, so I may have to keep it for that one reason.
Unfortunate because I was wanting to freeze the app now that I know the issue I previously mentioned can be resolved by setting a different gallery app as default.

Do you guys know of any gallery apps that allows printing from the 3 dot menu? I use Piktures because it has the option, but the UI bothers me a bit so wanted to see if there were other alternatives.

Ah, that's good to know. I'm not a huge fan of Google Photos though, it's why I use piktures usually. Would like to know what other alternatives there are out there besides Piktures and Google Photos.

Question Apps associated with camera functions

So I used as app control to debloat my s23 plus. Everything works good no issues except for one I just found this morning
So I need help figuring this out. I think I might have removed something that works with camera pics and text aka: an app that is associated with camera.
I remember at one time in my rooting days if you deleted a file (I forget which one it was off hand) but if you deleted that app the camera stoped working.
This seems to be a similar thing.
When I highlight text on a picture I took, I go to the 3 dots and click save to clipboard, so I can paste it in a text file. Problem I'm having is paste doesn't work at all, it's like there is nothing saved to clipboard even though it says "saved to clipboard"
Again, my guess is it's an app associated with the camera app, and I deleted it and this is the adverse reaction to removing said app.
So anyone have any ideas what app would be attached to the camera app, aside from gallery of course. I'm at a loss as to what it can be.

You probably did more damage than just this.
There hundreds of small Samsung system apps that modify the UI for appearance... and functionality. Most use little resources and should be left alone. Target the power hogs and complete trashware like Digital Wellbeing.
A list of the disabled items would be helpful.

Well maybe I'm confused.
I've restored everything back except samsung browser. Don't ask, I'm just not a fan of it.
That given this is what I'm doing or trying to do:
I'm openin samsung gallery. I go to the picture I took. I hit the T with the box around it which is text. I hit the 3 dots at the bottom and click on copy to clipboard. When I go to my notes app and hit paste, nothing comes up. Is it possible that the text copy from pics feature is limited to only samsung apps, and not other apps? I'm lost as hell right now.
Ok I'm an old idiot LOL.......I simply highlighted the text and copied and pasted it, it works fine.
So i'm curious, what does the T with a square around it at the bottom right do exactly? I thought that was like covert to text

The Samsung browser with some add on ad blockers is great for vids.
Try clearing the system cache.
Use the Samsung Edge app for copy/paste.

I'm guessing bixby vision. Give the list of apps you've uninstalled so we can help you better.

Do you mean Smart Select with the spen?
That's this app. If disable it disappears from the spen menu. Verified on my N10+/Pie.
