+1 been using that app for a while now. It'll be easier if your contacts' name and their facebook name is the same. Otherwise, you have to manually link them.

Official facebook app on AOSP has option to sync all facebook contacts, or only sync existing contacts.

Thank you for your reply.
I have tryed some apps (and this one too) but my frends name's aren't the same in my contacts....Just i want to choose (not the app) wich contact with what pictures to be;-)
I'm pretty sure that SyncMyPix has the option to manually link Facebook contacts with Google contacts. Long press on an unlinked Facebook contact.

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...
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...

Is it possible to get the htccalendar.apk from somewhere (if anyone has a link please)?
I had the HTC Calendar on Leedroid 3.0.8.2 (had both the Android and HTC Calendars on a previous version of Leedroid). But now I've flashed Redux I don't have the HTC calendar and I miss it because it sync's with more sources than the android one does.
Anyone know where I can get it, please?
You can't use it on an AOSP ROM. From what I remember it relies on com.htc.resources.apk which is absent from AOSP.
I'm sure there are apps on the market that'll do what you want though? (I don't know of any mind, sorry)
Anyone know of a calendar that can sync with facebook as well as gmail?
Sync facebook with your Google Account and then Sync your Google account with your calendar - I have it set up that way and it works on GingerVillain AOSP.
Thanks for asking this question as I'm having the exact issue with Redux (having come from LeeDroid also).
When you say sync Facebook with google - you do this on the facebook website or google website or phone?
Thanks
p.e. I have tried other calendars including pure calendar and I couldnt get this working.
EDIT: Ok I got this working - I went to facebook and clicked on events, then I clicked on birthdays. There is an option to export - so I got the export URL.
I then went to my google calendar on the google website. In the 'other calendar' section I was able to import using this URL.
Back on the phone, I went into the stock calendar, went to menu and selected 'calendars' - I was able to then choose to sync to the friends birthdays calendar in the google account in the menu.
All sorted the calendar widget now displays birthdays again..
I'm not sure about redux but I know on oxygen, in the settings menu of the Facebook app there is an option to sync contacts, and it definitely works

Same for Redux also - I can sync contacts using the Facebook app but it doesnt affect the stock calendar (it just updates my contacts on my phone and changes peoples picture etc if they had updated their profile).
ah man, I totally forgot what this thread was about sorry
You have to sync it on your computer, not on your phone.
How to: Birthdays
How to: Events
is it possible to find the app of the calendar HTC?

This is what I asked in the OP. It appears that it isn't possible to use the HTC Calendar in non-Sense ROM's. Look at the posts above they explain why. I ;like the HTC Calendar too.
don't know if the OP is still interested, but I use Smooth Calendar, free from the Market on Oxygen.
It syncs with my google calendar etc..

Yeah, I use smooth calendar on my homescreen, I love it, but for an overall view it's not good, say for a month's view. I do like smooth calendar showing me the next 3 or 4 events on the homescreen though.

So I've downloaded the new Facebook native app and I've noticed that in accounts in system settings a Facebook entry is now there. When I click on it I see contact sync as an option. Does anyone know if this will just sync ALL contacts from Facebook or will it just merge Facebook data with any contacts I already have?

I think it just downloads all your Facebook contacts and you can chose to have the visible under phone contacts.
You could try checking in the Facebook app, under settings, if it has the Sync option => Only existing contacts as an option, then it will merge.
Thanks Mate, unfortunately no such option in this facebook app like there is in the iOS one. I don't understand how facebook could miss this huge option in their grand native app release... :-/
download haxsync from the play store, it works waaaaay better than regular fb sync ever did. or use a custom ROM that supports native fb sync. I think modaco ROM has it

It's because Facebook and Google disagree on something and Facebook disabled this option for AOSP roms.
HTC and other manufacturers running Android have this functioning with the Facebook app out of the box.
But as suggested use Haxsync, works great, use it myself. It syncs high quality photos and it has face recognition so it only syncs faces.
