Facebook Integration, what is it, and how to get it back..

Hello everybody,
Recently I went on a hunt to find the missing link in the Facebook integration of our Topaz and Touchflo. As it turns out HTC decided to not enable it in the Topaz versions.
So what is it? What does it do? Well it takes the contacts stored on your phone, and links it to the contacts in your Facebook Profile. And what it does from there is give you their profile photos for your contacts, their birthdays, events, and a link to your own Facebook profile, with icons for new messages, pokes, notifications, etc.
Heres a few screenshots.

}
Now as far as how to get it running,
Personally I used XBMOD fix first and then used Bbonzz fix and it works. But I reccomend to try bbonzz's fix first as it should be the only one needed to make it work, otherwise I re-uploaded both here.
Credits go to XBMod for the VGA ports, and fixes (which sometimes work for us too. )
and to bbonzz who managed to get a fully working, installable fix for it.
Let us know what your experiences are, what works, and what doesn't. Enjoy!

Yup works, cheers

Tried the 2nd CAB first and seemed to work, get the tab but I'm not seeing any updates. Profile pics work ok tho, just don't get any updates.

Also got the tab. Seems like I could log in, but no updates or events. I tries to update the data, but no go. Any one else got this working?

Genius!! works a treat . We were working on this in the Apps thread in Topaz . Please orig poster post on there so its for all on that thread.

just seen one status update for one contact! wondering if only new updates appear after install? To be honest, wish I hadn't installed it.... it's a bit of fluff really! Not of any real use! Can I uninstall?
[EDIT]You can uninstall.... just use the normal method.[Edit]

Wow, I've been wanting this since I found out it didn't come with the phone.
If they enable the social features on the TP2 and not the TD2 that's odd. I gigure TD2 is the social phone and TP2 the business one.
Thanks!

THanks for this. I'm pretty impressed with it. It maybe a gimmick but i'm pretty happy with it.
It good to be able to link your facebook friends with your contacts and get the profile pictures...
Seems to get a little confused sometimes though...

Nice find

I've installed this but when I try to login it says login failed? Does the thing not automatically connect to the net? (I do have data connection turned off in comm manager maybe thats the reason)
EDIT: Ok got it working after turning on my data connections... it's found pictures for 2 or 3 of my contacts but for the rest it can't seem to download the pics... anyone else getting this?

Yes, I believe that you need the data connection on for it to work. I don't know why.
Status updates? really? it does those too? which screen? I have been using it to just link to profiles and get the photos.
Off subject, I can't wait for 6.5 on our TD2's with marketplace.
Edit:, oddly enough i do see statuses on contacts... but ONLY if i use the (insert real name here) letter scrolling on the contacts. And it seems very very buggy.
I hope that a DEV or even the release of the rhodium can fix this.

Yes, I have the same experience. Bizarre. I got updates on another page somewhere once. Buggy, but nice to extract the pictures. But I do wonder if it uses data everytime you open up All Contacts. Not so good for those with a limited data plan...

Tried both cab files but the facebook tab doesn't come up for me, any help?

I'd be interested to know if it connects everytime you access contacts too. I only have a limited data plan and only really want it to update from facebook when I'm connected to WiFi

It shouldn't do it only does that when you hit update afaik.

Okay so I got all the statuses and whatnot working on a Rhodium rom on the Raphael, but I can't get any of the pictures to link up. Anyone else have the same problem, and possibly found a fix for it?
Edit: Scratch that, spoke too soon, just took a while to link I guess, but I'm only getting it for one contact?

A specific Facebook application for Windows Mobile was launched todayish. OK, so it's not integrated to TouchFlo3D, but it is pretty good and offers a lot of functionality.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx

I'm trying out this new WM Facebook one you linked but seems to be really slow and hangs on me any idea why?? doesn't require a soft reset after install does it?

Having similar issues. I think the Facebook integration is fantastic and for the most part works pretty well...it's just that about 2/3'rds of my contacts don't have photos being imported. Wonder if there are any logs...? It seems to say "updating" for a contact and then time-out? Could be connection issues or maybe a friends photo is too large/not the correct format?

The WM Facebook app works fine for me, but then I'm not a 'friend junkie', so I only have about 20 friends. Maybe it struggles if you have hundreds of friends. Maybe it's time to cull all those friends that aren't really your friends, just people you once knew 20 years ago!

Hi!
I installed it yesterday afternoon, tried to log-in for a couple of hours but it only worked this morning. I have already chatted with a friend using whatsapp on iphone! Cgorki, thx for sharing.
I've been running and using it for almost 6 hours now with mobile internet always on and listening to music but when I go into battery usage this doesn't show up. Does this mean that it doesn't use battery or is there something else? It doesn't seem to drain a lot of battery because I still have about 85% left.
Thank you..

...well they obviously developed an app which charges your battery instead of draining it
I also have no problems communicating with iPhone users, also able to attach maps links, voice messages, pictures and videos

Uh, is this supposed to be distributed? I thought it's still a close beta.

When the owner provides a direct Link to the apk on his own servers, it doesn't really look like a closed beta.

Loving it. Thanks so much

Still random disconnects when sleeping. It only works after app and service are restarted.
Had it on the iphone, works great. I have been waiting for this for months and months now, but they still don't want to make it final. Either they are slow, it is just too hard to work with without the push thingy á la iphone.

well if you develop for android, you develop for more than only one device like for iphone, thats why it takes longer... btw. I can not confirm disconnects while phone is in sleep mode...
Update was released today, you can update the app via the built-in updater

Yes I noticed the update. I am using wifi only for this week. From next week on, I have a new contract with mobile data. Maybe there is a problem connecting after a while of disconnecting.

That's weird, I receive messages without ever opening it first, straight after booting and completely leaving the phone alone.
Under settings it always says service has started right on the minute that I booted my phone
*edit* Sorry I think I misread you, last night it gave me the option to install the latest version, and the change log said it fixed many random crashes, so far running great. But I'm sure you've upgraded

so far i can NOT use it, says auth failed.. any tips?

if you want the auth to run, email the support (even if the app says do not!) I did that and I got my access about 2-3 days.

mailing them will do nothing, I'm pretty sure they didn't put you on any "beta list"
you get your access just by trying to contact their servers, after hours/days your phone is successfully registered, thats what me and many other users have experienced.

I must have sent 14 messages untill I got through. Dont try it more than once, keep trying every couple of hours. Or even the next day. Once you get the auth, all reinstalls will be good to go.

Has anybody read the EULA?
It's talking about a "free trial period", and then a subscription fee per year.
Is that the same with the iPhone-app?

Car Home Project

I am wondering if anyone can take up this little project.
Basically this is the Car Home from the T-Mobile Vibrant and i am wondering if anyone can play around with it so that A: it can fit on the Galaxy Tab (app does not center properly as you can see from the picture), B: if the Contact icon can be made to work properly (as you can see an error mesage comes up) and C:when selecting the search icon nothing happens(the one on the right hand side of the contact icon)

Maybe just not in the 1 day since you posted it.
There's already a few good car home apps that work fine on the tab, which may be partially responsible for peoples reluctance to spend their spare time on this project also.
It's probably just a case of changing the name of the app it's calling, why not take the APK apart and see if you can work it out yourself?

i extracted the apk, but that's as far as i can go. have no idea what to do
this can get the ball rolling
as you can see there are three folders layout, layout-land, and layout-port
i dont know how to mess with xml files or dev in any other way, so someone can take a crack at this.

yea, the default google one is pretty good. i plan to use it in my car w/my tab and the samsung car mount.
on a side note, using the car mount right now just on my glass desk. works pretty dang well too!

That's pretty cool.
Looks like most of the images are intended for a 480x800 display, which is the resolution of the vibrant. You'd probably need to go through and scale a number of the images to fit the higher resolution screen of the tab. (Edit: Looks like the app is intelligent enough to scale this itself)
It's possibly a fair bit of work, but probably not all that hard. You mainly just need to extract it, work out what to edit, make the required changes, remove the META-INF tag and then manually resign and recreate the .apk. Not quite as straightforward as that (you'll need the Android SDK for a start). Might be a good exercise though.
I might have a play just for something to do. Maybe
Edit: Right, as with most things, _way_ more difficult than I estimated. I've decompiled the APK and I'm having a poke around in the sourcecode. I'll see how I go, but it's quite possible that I'll end up giving up and putting it in the "too hard" basket. Disclaimer: I'm completely unfamiliar with this sort of code so I'm having to decipher the syntax as I go. Editing just the graphics is a piece of cake, changing application calls and layout is a different story.

I managed to get most of it sorted. The icons are now centered and the Contacts button works. The search button doesn't even seem to be _trying_ to do anything though, so I'm not sure what it's supposed to achieve. I might just get rid of it, a text-based search in a car dock app seems a bit redundant to me.
I don't get a "Voice Search" icon on mine, I get a "Browser" icon instead, so I'd be interested in seeing what happens on yours.
The .apk is a little larger than the original, probably as it's being compiled against a newer SDK.

I fixed the "Alarm" option not working with the Home dock application as well:

I do have a car home app that came with Roto's JME v4 but i still like the one from the Vibrant.
I am not a programmer so i would not know how to fix it.

Great work on the Car Home, but i was wondering if you could make some changes:
This what it looks like on my Vibrant, any way you can get to look this way?
and in regards to the Desk Home, the Alarm does not work i get an error message:
and one question on the Desk Home, on the weather icon next to the date and time shouldn't it show the current temperature? on both the Vibrant and Tab it just shows 00 C, not that important but it is weird that it does not update after you set the City and change the temperature to F on the Daily briefing icon.
Thank you again for your help.

The apk on your vibrant must be different, the one I'm working on doesn't even have the images for "Phone" or "Music".
As for the alarm, I've no idea, it works fine here. I'm running the JME firmware which may have something to do with things.
The weather displays 00 if it doesn't have a net connection, it works fine as soon as it can access the server, but it looks like you've got data running. Can you put it on Wireless and see if it updates then?

knightnz said:
I don't understand why you're getting different icons than I am. It'd take me a lot of work to decipher it and try to fix things, someone who has a better understanding of smali code would need to have a look at it.

The Car Home from my Vibrant i got it via the market when it was available, the one currently on my tab i got it from the link on my first post so i could not tell you why they are different. Well i gave it a try, i'll keep it the way it is but it looks better than before and at least the contacts work. Thanks.
Regarding the alarm i am lost, i am running Roto's JME v4 so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
In regards to weather on the Desk Home i'll try and get better signal and i'll try wifi connection see if makes a difference and i'll report.

Well it seems that Samsung came out with a Car Home app and you can get it via the Samsung Apps app

I am having a problem getting my OP5 to work

IF someone could take time out of your busy schedules I would be most grateful and could make it up to you
I got the OP5. I used it one day, yesterday. Today I am sporadically able to get on the internet, most of the times not. I started getting a KEY icon in the status bar
I googled and searched to see it has something to do with an APN or VPN I don't know what they are, I am sorry
I tried to read how to do it but got intimidated on different ways, one manual one another way, on each site. Many ways
I tried to work it out with OnePlus Service. Their service has a lot to be deserved. The first guy didn't know what it was. The second was, I sent a screen shot, he said he'd talk to level 2 and call back
45 minutes later, I got an email saying "Thanks your issue has been solved" I tried to call back, to no avail. Closed
If anyone could walk me thru it, here, private messages, email I would be most grateful. I have lets say a few health issues and parents I need to reach, and have no land line
I don't want to return the phone.
Thank You
Eric

Are you in the US ?if so which network ATT or T Mobile ? have you installed the OS update that they pushed out today ? oh and the best way to contact OP support is via the CHAT app. you shouldn't have to monkey w/ the VPN settings. UPDATE: they are about to push out a 4.5.3 hotfix update.

I'm on T Mobile and have never had a problem w/ T Mobile and OnePlus (and I've owned EVERY model they have put out). You should not have to touch your APN settings at all. Currently your OP5 should be on Oxygen OS 4.5.2 and they are pushing out an update tomorrow (4.5.3) but I don't think either update has anything to do with your issues. I assume you have your T-mobile Sim card in slot #1 correct ... it will tell you that information under settings> SIM & NETWORK SETTINGS. Below is a screen shot from my OP3T, but the OP5 looks the same. Make sure the Mobile Data is turned on as shown. When all else fails....just do a factory reset and start over. Make sure you are somewhere that has WIFI if you have to do so, makes set up much easier. And again, I only ever have to go to this settings when setting up a new phone if I want to turn on VoLTE, all the other settings are factory set.

most probably a wrong vpn setting. Try gong to settings>more>vpn and delete any vpn listing if there are any

Jerry, Alan.....thank you. Jerry my settings are exactly as they are in your pic. I found that Lookout has web browser protection on and when I take it off, it works...sort of. I have used Lookout on many phones and this wasn't an issue. Many say Lookout and similar is not needed?
Well when I went to the VPN setting, a Lookout icon was there, I deleted it.
But my email is not working and I'm not sure how related. TypeApp I cannot set up my account and log in. I was able to log into K9 which I don't prefer, but regardless, I am not getting notifications.
Thanks a lot for your help. As I believe I stated in my post, I am well aware that when people volunteer to help they are taking from their personal time.

Lookout ? I haven't heard of that "lost my phone" app I'm YEARS, haha. Didn't know they were still around. Android has "lost my phone" built in now. Ya don't even have to turn it on now. As for "email" apps...I have always just used GMAIL app. Sounds like you are just having various app setting problems. If you mean actually HEARING notifications ... Make sure your notifications slider is not turned to the middle "do not disturb" setting. The slider of course is on the left side of the phone. It has 3 different positions.

If does look like app incompatibilities. I am able to get online uninstalled Lookout antivirus. I don't need one? T-Mobile has given us Pro for years

I've recently bought Samsung Galaxy A9-6, it's totally genuine nothing have been altered, and after using a month or like so I've started getting that annoying screen, every time i receive a call or missed call it shows up saying caller ID, I've formated my cell once and it had gone now its back again and its hell of annoying,
things I've done
1-I never install apps out of play store
2- I never install any caller ID App (as it doesn't work in Pakistan yet)
3- I've formatted my cell and installed all apps (which i always had on all my Android devices but this problem never occurred)
4- There is no such Caller ID app in bloatwears or apps (in settings section)
5- when i click the links on that screen it takes me to a website page which is whosthat dot com
6- I've Googled it and it says DU caller ID (although I've never installed it)
Info about my cell
Samsung Galaxy A9-6
Model: SM-A9000
Software version: 6.0.1
Baseband Version: A9000ZHU1BQE1
Android Security Patch: 1 May 2017

Same issue
I've been having the same issue with my Samsung galaxy s8. I have also not downloaded any Caller app or so, but this screen keeps popping up. Been trying to find a solution with no luck so far

Please there should be someone who can help, I've traced the Email which this app shows in privacy policy the email is [email protected] and it belonga to DU caller ID, I've reported the app and sent two emails but no reply so far. Do the same at least.

I've also sent an email to that address today. I hope they reply and someone has a solution, because it is really irritating.
Edit: I will be sure to inform you if I get any response

Hey, have you been able to find a solution yet?

I've already formatted my cell once, but it was only a waste of data, the app was gone for few hours, but shortly it was back ?
Isn't there any Dev? Who can help us.

I really hope there is someone who can help. It is annoying me so much. I also made a thread and there is someone else who is having the same issue too

Hey buddy I think I have solved it, it's a theory which is working till now, I had once visited TrueCaller online portal from my Chrome browser on my cell, although I had given consent for my Microsoft ID i think i had enabled some sort of notification thing or so, previously I had removed true caller web site in settings from my chrome, now again last night I formatted my cell and installed fewer apps but I haven't synchronized my chrome bookmarks and till now the cell is working fine, just a theory might be wrong but it has been 12 hours my cell is doing fine. test it and then let me know, please. I'll let you know if this theory fails.
thanks

I do not have this problem but I've experienced similar things in the past when you get very annoying adverts that prevent phone from sleeping whilst it's connected to a charger.
It usually come with an application. UC browser is very notorious for this. Turning off notifications from such apps could help.

Hi!
My mom met same problem at xiaomi redmi 3.
Solved it today, but have no garanties that it solved forever, but i hope.
I'm sure that it's connected with Caller DU, because if you press "private policy" in window after call, it opens page from DU caller's site.
Then i just install that f**in DU Caller, turn off all of it's features and then delet it and now i have no annoying popup messages.
just in case, sorry for my english

I had never installed any caller app on my phone still I started receiving those popups and in privacy policy, I read the email address, emailed them and luckily within few weeks they replied but was not sufficient as they didn't tell me the root cause neither the solution was helpful, so i checked all apps one by one and bingo, it was chrome, just didn't restore chrome bookmarks after factory reset and everything came okay
