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

Please dont tell me to look at the downloads tab, because i know that.
Basically when i install a new rom, the market has now lost the free apps because thats what it does. the market must have some sort of file it maintains locally with the list of apps, and whether or not they are set to auto-update. where is this list so i can just paste it into my new rom, and market will automatically get all the apps and maintain the auto update settings.
(also i know and use titanium backup so dont reply with 'use titanium', i just want to do what im looking for so the market always gets the latest version on a rom redo and also keeps holding the auto-update status.)
thanks.
Did you try dialing the market update code?
*#*#2432546#*#*
That's suspose to resync with the market I think.

In the sync settings for google, there is a backup option. It will download all previously installed apps when you setup the new rom, including free apps. If you don't want all if the apps to install, skip setup initially and open the market. Use that to log into your google account, then jump to the downloads window and cancel the ones you don't want. It will also insure you have the newest version.
This will not back up app data, however. Just re-install the app.
*I am currently looking for where this setting is inside settings.

only see a contacts, gmail and calender in google sync settings.
I have looked around inside the os for the setting. The only way I can find it is to remove my google account and re-add it. At the end, it gives you the option to back up all data. That us the opinion that enables this I believe.

Note: As of TNTLite 2.1.1 (a supplemental install to TNTLite 2.0), you no longer need to follow the instructions in this thread to get your Google Calendar and Contacts to sync with your tablet, because the Calendar and Contacts applications and the necessary sync files have now been included with the TNTLite supplemental. In order to get the sync working, though, you will need to wipe your user data in clockworkmod, so that you go through the Google account set-up process again. WIPING YOUR USER DATA IN CLOCKWORKMOD DELETES ALL INSTALLED APPS AND SETTINGS. Use Titanium Backup to backup your apps before doing this. (Data copied to the internal sdcard is not deleted in a data wipe.)
Go to this thread for the TNTLite download, and for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
******************************************
Old instructions, for pre-TNTLite 2.1.1:
This has been driving me insane for the past week--the gTablet with TNTLite was 90% of what I wanted, but the lack of a real sync with my Google contacts and calendar data has been gnawing at me. (The workaround of installing a Google account as a "Corporate" account in Contacts didn't work for me, because I have multiple Google calendars and that approach would only ever sync one.)
But I seem to have found out how to make it work! Alas, it requires a user data wipe, but to me at least it was worth it. Here's what I did.
* This was starting with TNTLite 2.02 along with the Tegra Fix *
First off, I backed up everything with Titanium Backup and also cwm. (You'll definitely want Clockwork Mod installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004)
Get the GApps v2 file, and copy it as an update.zip to your /sdcard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842590
Shut down, and boot into Clockwork Mod.
Wipe cache. Don't reboot.
Clear user data/factory reset. Don't reboot.
Install the Gapps v2 update.zip that you copied to /sdcard.
Reboot.
Skip the Google sign-in.
Set up your Wi-Fi.
Reboot.
Launch Gmail.
Add your Google Account (Accounts / Add Account). Break into a big smile when you see Contacts and Calendar show up as a sync option in addition to Gmail. Let them sync. It may take a while.
If you have a Google Apps account too, while still in Gmail, go back to Accounts and then Add Account, and add your Google Apps account. Break into an even bigger smile when you see Contacts and Calendar show up as a sync option. Let them sync. Go into the Contacts app, and verify that your contacts are all there. (You can use the Display options to show/hide them.)
[Strangely enough, at this point, I found out that the Calendar app was nowhere to be found on my tablet. Probably due to my screwing around before I started trying this out. I extracted calendar.apk from the TNTLite 2.00 update.zip, copied it to my /sdcard, and launched it. It installed, and there were allllll of my calendars. This probably won't be an issue for you.]
If you go into the Contacts app, you'll see under Add New Account that "Google" now appears, as does "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync" (instead of just "Corporate").
At this point, I took a deep breath and did the Market Fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175), worried that it might somehow mess with the settings. Rebooted.
And my many calendars and all my contacts are still there, and the correct Account/Sync options are still in place as well.
Now I have to start reinstalling everything (thank you, Titanium Backup), but I've got the last piece of my gTablet puzzle.
Hope this helps other folks like me who've had this problem. It seems that the most important thing is to have the Gapps files already in place when you do the initial user setup under TNTLite. Since Gapps has an older version of Google Maps (and Street View), you'll want to update both of those in the Market. And then you'll need to do the Flash install, etc. etc.
(Dec. 1 update)
Note: If you install a supplemental update to TNTLite after doing this fix (i.e., installing 2.0.4), you're going to get the TNT Calendar back, overwriting the Google Calendar. Your data will still be there, and syncing will still work, but you'll have the less-professional-looking TNT Calendar interface. You can install Touch Pro Beta from the Market for a nicer replacement calendar.
Nice work, and well done!
How is the calendar from the GApps v2 file? Is it stock Google?

Thanks! There actually isn't a calendar in the GApps v2 file, now that I look. It's just the SyncAdapter.apk. (Ditto for the Contacts.) So actually the problem with my not having the calendar.apk may just have been from when I was screwing around trying to get things to work before I started all of this. A clean TNTLite 2.0 install followed immediately by the instructions above will probably have a calendar.apk file with no problem.
Seems we only need a few of the apks in the update to get this running. Maybe get with Roebeet to add those to tnt lite or as a supliment.

Yes, it might work to have just the two Google*SyncAdapter.apk files included in the main TNTLite install (not a supplement). They need to be there during the initial setup.

Could you post the two apk so non-CWM folks like myself can try this fix? And where would the two apk go -- /system/app or ?

You can get them out of the Gapps update.zip file, in the app subfolder (link to the file is in the original post). They would go in /system/app, but if you're not rooted, you're not going to be able to put them there. And I'm not altogether sure it would work this way, and you're still going to have to wipe your user data and cache to try. So you should just go ahead and install cwm--the link is in the OP. (You should have cwm installed anyway, even if you're not going to do this.)

Thanks. Just to be sure: which cache are you referring to?
When you speak of cache I'm thinking about settings>running application and then clear the cache of individual apps, but perhaps you're referring to something else. And if we're talking about the same thing: the app of which app?
I can confirm that this works great.
Good work!!

Exchange contacts and calendar
Google contacts and calendar sync properly but exchange contacts and calendar do not. Any suggestions for exchange users?

I don't use Exchange, so I don't have much advice, sorry to say. After the steps above, did you go into Contacts, Accounts, Add Accounts, and choose Microsoft Exchange Sync? Are you on TNTLite 2.0.2 or above, which returns to the TNT contacts and calendar apps that some people say work better with Exchange?
Also, a reminder that installing TNTLite 2.0.2 and above may cause your Google Calendar app (from 2.0 and GApps) to not work quite right, since 2.0.2+ reverts to the TNT calendar that the tablet came with. I just installed 2.0.4, and my calendar opens and the data is there, but I can't see any menus or change any views. I have calendar.apk from TNTLite saved in /sdcard, and I just launched/reinstalled, and I'm back to the regular Android/Google calendar. (Am trying to download Touch Calendar, but the market is sooooo slow on downloads tonight.)
Thank you!! Now this is a complete ROM.

After the steps above, I added an Exchange email account which automatically setup the same account in Contacts. I've verified that the Microsoft Exchange Sync is checked/enabled.
Application "Settings" is Force Closing often now. Will revert back to TNTLite 2.0.2 and play with this again later.
Thanks for the effort and I'll keep searching for an Exchange solution.

Pull it out of the TNTLite 2.0 update.zip, in the /app subfolder. Just put it somewhere on your SD card, and launch it.
I do have Settings FCs, but only when I'm closing Settings, after I'm done using it, so I haven't minded.
Argh! Didn't see this until just now -- 2.0.5???? Oh my.
Also, Touch Calendar (beta) in the market is a pretty sweet calendar display app. Not sure if you need the Google calendar apk installed as well, but give it a look. Does a great job displaying lots of entries from lots of calendars, with pinch-zoom for changing views.

I do think it would be a good addition, if you're not worn out. The real Google calendar/contact sync is a big plus, though I know you've said you don't use it.
Recently my hyperdroid gbx Market updated automatically. After the update, I found that many apps I can use before are not able to download now. It always said "Your device is not compatible with this item". Do anyone know if I can revert to the old version of Market?
Thx.

Yes, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications -- Find Market, hit Uninstall updates ..
And you'll get your old market back. However, the second you open it, it will close and update itself to the latest.
You have two ways to pass that:
1- Using TB Pro, Freeze Market Updater.
2- Remove MarketUpdater.apk from /system/app/ (of course after making a back up)
Oh, it works.
Thank you very much!!!
tried it , and now getting a diffrent problam

Make sure you have access to internet from different applications.
Also, try clearing the cache from settings and cwm.

Hi guys and girls,
I'm getting error -110 after I'm trying to install something from the market. Some times clearing the history helps me to install the app but the new app not working, always FC.
For now I can't use it at all. I can update my apps but can't download new apps.

I already changed 3 Sense3.5 ROMs, on MIUI and CM7 the market working great.
It also works after HR but after a while I'm still getting -110...
I'll try to delete the account and update.
Thank you.
*Edit: i can't remove google account, it tells me to HR... ;(
Try to create a new one, then set the second to default market account. Delete the first one and restart.
This way it will be working...

Download Market 3.4.4.apk from internet. Just google it, plenty of sources. Install it. The new market will replace the old one. Sign out of your google account and in manage apps menu, clear data for the market.apk.
Sign in to your google account again.
You're good to go.
I already deleted the account and registered a new one. I'll try it with the new account, i did a Nanadroid backup before so I always can back.
Thanks!

Try removing market.apk completely with titanium backup, the install the one you downloaded. If that doesn't work, find another ROM.
EDIT: Also, when you install after removing it, clear cache and data before starting.
EDIT2: This can also happen if you are using market enabler.
Well, it didn't work. (I don't use market enabler.)
After removing the market by titanium i couldn't install the "new" market. Was getting "app not installed". After 3 times i succeed and installed it and on the first download -110 error...
I did HR with the same ROM and opened a new account on Google. It's working and I'm downloading new apps without errors. Now all I left to do is wait for couple of days or weeks...
Thanks a lot!
I downloaded a few apps after HR and I just got the -110 error again!!!
*Who need parts for DHD because It's going to fall from the 10 floor soon...
Don't panoc lol. Try re-flashing your ROM again. Sign in with your google account and try again. This has happened to a lot of people with the new Nexus, not as much with other phones but it happens I guess. Just flash another ROM and see what happeness.

Just for update.
I was with the Virtuous Affinity 2.05.0 Sense 3.5 ROM and after a lot of HR and re flashing the ROM i decided to change the ROM.
I flashed LeeDrOiD HD V5.1.1 Sense 3 and till now it's ok. No errors at all.
personally i think this is a google issue and not a rom issue.
Reason being is i have a desire hd, an archos 101 g9, archos 5a, samsung galaxy tab all on the same gmail account. When i get this it happens accross all 4 devices and not just one, i think there is a max amount that google allows you to download a day then when you hit it you get a -101 unknown error, usually it clears itself in 24 hours - well thats my experiance....
Well, I don't think it's a google issue.
I installed tons of apps in one day without any errors and on the previous ROM i installed only a few with this error.
In addition look at the other errors I got ( i couldn't install even APKs):
