You. can do it from there: uncheck your phonebook, check the facebook contacts and delete them all, then re-check your phonebook contacts

I've got the same problem. I don't especially mind my Facebook imported contacts showing in the full 'People' list, but I do not want them cluttering up my phone dialler screen.
How do I make my phone dialler ONLY show the numbers from my 'real' contacts (i.e. just the ones I sync with Outlook)? I can't see any sort of View option in the Dialler screen menus.

Launcher pro widgets

I'm trying to set up the people widget using launcher pro, but there doesn't seem to be a way to select favorites due to the my sense dialer.
Any advice on how best to set up the launcher pro people widgets??

If you re-install Faves.apk you can add a contact to you Faves, then use that as your favorites. Also, you can go to Gmail.com and add "star" (favorite) people, then when your phone syncs with Google it should pick that up and add Favorites as a group under their contact card.

Weird....I tried adding faves but no luck.
I hate this faves/genius button thing.
Thanks for your suggestion.

I had the same problem. All my contacts are from my exchange server.
Try downloading contact group manager from the marketplace. Created a new contact group, added the contacts and the new group shows up as a choice in the people widget setup.
Hope this helps.

[Solved]Sense like Facebook integration for non-Sense builds?

Hello!
Search produced nothing, so here I go - I want software that provides sense-like integration for non-sense builds. What I really care about are contact pics.
I tried Facebook app, but
1. It will miss most of the contacts, because my contacts are in Cyrillic, but FB are in Latin... although this in just annoyance and could be fixed with 2-3 hours free time spared.
2. Problem 2 is more significant for me - even if a contact is linked, dialer still shows gmail account pic, or no pic at all (even if the contact is linked with FB and has a FB pic showing)
3. Nice addition will be if someone proposes a cool contact app which manages contact groups( Google should add at least this to upcoming Android versions)

SyncMyPix does what I want

If you are using the htc facebook application from the market, it should ask you at the first start, if and how you want to sync your contacts.
After first start, you can configure it under settings-> sync contacts.
..but syncMyPics should also work.

I have htc facebook on my DHD but it seems I cannot find it in the market and download it for some reason. I know it happens. To be honest, SyncMyPix does the job even better, cos it writes down all images into contact pic place and nothing more, and I don't get all the unknown facebook contacts to bloath my contact book
I would like to see a download link to htc facebook sync though

So it is not my fault, then. The stock FB app cannot provide the functionality Sense does... SyncMyPix then...

Matched contacts suggestions without a sense rom?

I was running cyanogenmod, but I missed the ability to match contact suggestions.
The dialer too obviously, I know I can use an alternative dialer for this.
If there is a matched contacts method or app, I can dump sense for good.

Bump in the night.

You tried the facebook for android app? twitter app? They synch the contacts pictures and numbers off facebook and twitter, google account would have hopefully backed up your contacts as well so it will pull it from there as well, thats the same as matched contacts (Y) all matched contacts was,
TL;DR download facebook app from market, install, just go to account settings and add an account and make it a facebook one
?????
profit.

I have people such as my brother who have different names on facebook and twitter. This gives me two contacts where I want one.

Have you tried Gibt contacts? I remember it offers some kind of contact merging...

Gah... curse you, Auto correction. I meant Go contacts... should be included in Go dialer...

How to link two contacts in Android

Hello friends,
I have migrated from WP7 to android (CM7ite)
I am experiencing the foll. diffculties :
1) How do I link two contacts in android contacts. One contact is from contact list & the other one is from facebook having slightly different name.
due to this the two contacts are shown seperaely. In WP7, linking of contacts was butter smooth, which is not the case with android now.
2) Secondly, i m also using 3rd party application called touchpal contacts.
Touchpal contacts does not display facebook pictures, even if these contact's pictures are present in android contact list.
any clues / hints / tips anyone ....

In fact, if you're on CM7 use GO apps to replace pretty much everything. GO launcher, GO SMS, GO weather, GO Widgets, GO task manager etc. They all have a very polished and high end feel which I personally feel the stock apps don't have.

But if you prefer a rather stockish look and feel, for the first problem you have the following two options:
1- From within Go Contacts, hit "menu" and then merge duplicate contacts at once. (Batch)
2- From within Stock Contacts/Dialer app, go into the contact you wish to join and then menu > edit > join > show all > select the contact you want to join.
As for the images, I like to use "SyncMyPix" from the Play Store, it's free, simple yet intuitive and easy to use.

You can also sync the contacts to gmail and use the find duplicates function in the gmail contacts through the web. I've used it a lot, works fine
