AFAIK, only the Hero builds do that. If you switched to a non-Hero build, that's why.
there is an app called "facebook sync" that allows you to sync contact pictures from facebook with your google address book. It is not available on the market. here's a copy for you.
thanks, but how do i install this?? ive only gotten apps from the market place

just google facebooksync.apk and find a download of it. Then make a folder on the root of your sd card named AndroidApps must be spelled and capitalized just like that. put the facebooksync.apk file in that folder and then boot it up and you will have the program once android is started
hey i tried the facebook sync app and i got a "sqliteexception error" anyone know what this means or how i can fix it
thanks

its pretty simple just uninstall it and reinstall a clean version. heres the link... http://gamesquare.co.uk/desired5.htm
just donwload that and delete the files that arent usually there from the root of your memory card, and open the file up you just downloaded and put all the content on the root of your memory card
delete the data.IMG
delete the data.IMG it stores everything you do in your andriod, apps, txt numbers, settings when you reboot it will pause for "creating new data store" making a a new data.img and it should be like a first boot with the tutorials n such

Good lad. You're learning!
I am having the same problem with removing an old gmail account from the previous owner of the phone. After you deleted the data file, how did you get your internet/3g working again? I'm afraid to delete it before I know what to do afterward to make sure everything works when running android. I think I have the nexus one version on my hd2. Thank you.

Hey
I'm using Azure ROM with google apps, but I can't connect to my Google account. I always get a "no connection" message, or something like that, but the internet connection works in all the other apps.
I had a similar problem on the stock ROM - the only app that worked was the browser (on 3G).
I don't care about the emails, I can use the email app for that, I just need the market. All the QR codes lead to the market
Maybe someone should suggest a good website where I can find a lot of apk's to download.
Anyone ?
btw which facebook app do you use ? I tried 2, but none of them works.

Reset the phone, same thing happened to me after i tried to install flash on my Legend! Google app saver .apk and install it with HTC Sync, and that'll save all your apps!
U mean factory reset ? It didn't work on the stock ROM, I don't think it would work now... did you have the same problem as me ?
What is Google app saver ? I didn't find no such thing.
btw I don't have HTC sync, because I don't use Windows and I don't use the HTC ROM anymore.

I meant to actually Google the word AppSaver!Here The factory reset fixed the Google apps problem, but i dont use Facebook but can't comment on that!
Yeah, I found it later. But I have all my apps installed on my SDcard so I don't think I need it.
Maybe I'll try factory reset, but I just downloaded a ton of .apk's so I don't really need it right now.
WTF ? I just did a factory reset and it WORKED. Thanks, dude.
Didn't work on the stock ROM.
I installed a new ROM and when I log in and try to sync my apps to reinstall them it only shows the apps that came with the ROM. The list of all my apps is still shown online, and I tried setting it as "default" but as soon as I hit sync it makes a new list "app on my incredible" and doesn't install the missing ones...

I'm having the same problem. I went from Myn's Warm to Evervolv and Appbrain won't sync my previous apps. Did you find a solution?

UPDATE: I figued it out. If you go online to appbrain.com you can create an account. Once you create the account it shows the apps that have synched with each ROM as separate lists on the left hand side. You can copy the apps from the old ROM to the new ROM list and then sync appbrain on your phone again and they will show up.
Hope this helps!
Edit: never mind. You figured it out as I was posting.
<STRIKE>Did you try going into manage apps and clearing cache and data for appbrain? Don't know if that'll help, but something to try.

hey guys is there a way to back up apps over zune because it sucks every time you install a new rom that you have to reinstall every app i can see over zune wich apps where installed previusly but i cant just download like 30 apps... is there a solution to this problem?
i also was curious about this. i know the android market automatically installs all your apps, but with all the nodo, mango beta 1, beta 2 coming out, it really sucks having to reinstall all your apps again. atleast an app back up would be nice, i dont mind losing my info.
stenk - it your just interested in atleast saving your "game progress" etc. see that here.

OK, how do I can sync apps if I install almost all apps through Marketplace from phone not over PC Zune?
Hmm wouldnt know i just happened to install all of my apps thru zune on pc
Only thing i can think to do is create a new live account? (Unless your attached to that one) Im sure there is a way around it just wish i knew it

Ok, and thats why some devs create this zune app backup because you can backup apps which was installed directly in phone.
you can manually copy the install data and the isolated storge data which is essentially an app backup, but we need to add the icons back in to the start menu.
Ive not looked in to that but i know its not a windows startmenu style of system its maybe some XML file.
it wouldnt take much to make a program to backup this stuff now that we have root access but im not a programmer, a wee bit of VBA is as much as i know
Can some one shed a light on how to get contacts app from TyphooN_CM7_v3.6.4-MAGLDR TO NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.0_NAND_(Android-2.3.5) Rom. I have extracted and copied:\
1. contacts.apk
2. contactsprovider.apk
3. GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
from First rom to another.
When phone boots up, there is a message of force close comes up on screen every 5 or so seconds.
I shall be very thankfull if some one find a cure for this.
Why i need contacts from lastest nightly: Because In latest nightly we can edit events like birthdays, etc.
My Phone: HD2 EU
Rom: NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.0_NAND_(Android-2.3.5)------- Working Great
i dont think its case of just copying the files and expect them to work, you probably will find there are other depencies that the files need, why not just change roms?
All I have ever done when installing a new ROM is log in to the Market with my gmail account, and my contacts synchronise from there?
This has been the case with all Sense/CM7 and MIUI ROM's that I have tried.

you've misunderstood what he is trying to do, he doesnt want to sync contacts or anything, he wants the contact application from 1 rom put onto a different rom

i have tried preety much all roms for hd2-- sometimes 3 different ones in a day. yes im also also using google sync for contacts. i prefer tytung rom because its way lighter than nightly while giving the same functionality and much faster than other roms after removing application i dont use like htmlviewer, etc.
AGAIN I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST IF SOMEONE GUIDE TO GET CONTACTS.APK FROM LATEST NIGHTLY SO THAT I CAN ADD/EDIT EVENTS LIKE BIRTHDAYS ANIVERSARRY. THANKS
