Does anyone know of any way to have Facebook integration without using a Hero ROM, is it even possible?
Download the official facebook app from the market. It has a widget you can put on the home screen.
Download facebook sync from http://anda.pk/
This will get your friends profile pictures and attach them to a contact.
EboBirthday from the market will attach your facebook friends bithday to you current contacts...................
Or, you can just download a Hero ROM and get full intergration.
I don't think you can get HTC's contacts and dialer app on a non hero rom (or you can get it but it doesn't work.) If someone knows how to do this please let me know!! Then we can get full intergration without the slowness of Hero.
bump for this idea. i am tired of the htc loading screens and want to get rid of my hero rom. BUT i want to keep the HTC dialer because it is awesome compared to the stock dialer with its facebook integration and search function. is there any way to get the HTC dialer or something similar to it without using a hero rom?
Does anybody know a fast and stable donut ROM that has facebook sync and HTC widgets? So far, I haven't been able to find one. Only Hero ROMs I've tested have the HTC widgets and fb sync, but lacks BT. Eclair ROMs have fb sync, but lack video.

HTC Widgets require the Rosie framework, in which is only in the Sense UI Android interface (at least from my understanding) you cannot have these widgets without having Sense, and if you could - then it would've been done by now. There are only copies.
I don't know about FaceBook sync, I thought there was an app for that.
I flashed Darchdroid and I love the ROM but I'm not keen on the stock contacts app. I want the ability to see groups. What is your favorite not stock/htc contacts app?
i believe darchdroid uses aosp apps only meaning the contacts app is aosp. What you must want IS the stock HTC app.... not sure where you can find it, nor WHY you would want HTC People over AOSP contacts, but I am sure you could if you looked.
Hi!
I would really like to try out a CyanogenMod build on my HD2. Till now I have only played with the Sense builds. The reason for that is the Sense contacts, calendar and dialer apps integration, and exchange server integration for business mail.
The most important part to me are
the abillity to link Facebook, Twitter and Google contacts together in the contacts app (exchange is not important to me for contacts)
the T9 dialer functionality
the Facebook for Sense integration into the calendar app
and the exchange email client
Does anybody know of any good substitute apps for the above mentioned features? I'm not interested in the HTC widgets and HTC camera.

1. Shockingly, the Facebook and Twitter app would take care of that.
2. Dialer One seems to be pretty popular
3. Dunno
4. Built-in, called Email
Thanks for answering. Does Facebook and Twitter now combine similar contacts into one contact? I think that the newest version of the native Facebook Android app actually syncs with the calendar by default now.
I think it adds the contact but won't merge contacts with the same name. I'm having the same issue. Gone from sense to CM 7

So you are saying that, it links together facebook contact with the contact in your phone, making his profile picture as caller id picture on your phone for example ?
I would recommend you to try launcher pro on top of cyanogenmod7 , even though it doesn't have everything that sense has, it has a launcher that's pretty close to sense , it has widgets like the calendar with agenda, a friends stream for facebook and twitter, or you can do them individually, a favorites widget just like sense, good animation when scrolling thru the pages in the homescreen. I really like it!

Sorry for interupting, but im intrested in Sense like dialer, and sense like people ( for example, persons facebook profile picture appears as my contact picture, caller id ect..)
isnt CleanDroid a CM desire build?
Apparently if you go to edit the contact then press menu again then you can join contacts similar to linking them where sense is available. This was written by someone else on here. Can see who but credit goes to them as this does work.

Yes, i did that, but pictures for contacts from facebook are ugly and low res
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
if you want your facebook events and birthdays you can add them to your google calendar via ical link.
Since in my cotanct's list, all the contact's photos is came from the faceook by facebook for HTC Sense,However, i flashed a rom that isn't HTC sense but i think it's fantastic (except without facebook for htc sense).Hence, I put the facebook for HTC sense from the offical rom however when i install it, it cannot be installed.May someone helps to make a facebook for HTC sense is available for all android rom, a big thanks by heart!
HTC Sense uses it's own framework so you would need to port it or what ever. Why don't you just install the Facebook app and then sync your Facebook contacts, with your phone contacts? If they don't join then just edit contact, press menu > join. Job done. Google isn't that terrible.
