I am wanting to find out how to solve an issue i am having with facebook sync, I was using bionix 1.3 but decided to change to deodexed kb1. I will provide all info just to help. I have voodoo installed as well, also have used the 6 lockscreen mod by whitehawx. Thats it other than that just stock. With bionix, and other custom roms including cm7, I could select in the facebook app to sync with existing contacts, I like it for the pictures more than anything else. Now the option is gone and with accounts and settings it wants me to choose all or to go through and select each one, which I dont want to do, I have to many contacts for that. I looked though the bionix rom and it uses 3 apk's for account and sync and contacts, where in stock deodexed kb1 has four associated with it. Can someone shed some light on this? I'm not sure if apk is relevant or not. I also have copied build prop over from bionix rom just to try and see if that would make facebook app think i was on different rom and give me the option but that didnt work either. I'm lost Not even sure if im anywhere close to ballpark as to what is causing this. I have searched through the forums and all over the web and have seen same issues talked about but no solution, Im aware google disabled this for the nexus s due to facebook not using api correctly but I want it.
no one has any idea, or even experienced the same issue as me?
Maybe you need to find an older version of the facebook app and use it. Google may have only disabled the contact sync for the nexus s but facebook just recently updated it's program and might have turned them all off in preparation for some new system. Just a thought..
I just recently switched from bionix to kb1 as well..but I just sync all contacts and only display the ones with phone numbers.

Are you freezing any apps through Titanium Backup? If you are then defrost them all and then try and sync. I had that same issue and that worked for me.
Bionix 1.3.1 w/Overstock 1.4.1

im having a similar issue. Im running bionix 1.3.1 and during initial set up, i synced my facebook contacts with my google contacts, but after i was done all my facebook contacts disappeared completely. I only have my google contacts. I cant seem to re-add my facebook contacts to sync them together.
Do either one of you use Titanium Backup? Is there anything frozen like DRM,etc? If so unfreeze that should solve your issue. Its not the FB app cause I had this problem. Also go onto your contacts and make sure that the fb sync shows up. If not then try reflashing the rom.

I dont have anything frozen on titanium backup. I tried syncing my account again, fb account showed up in contacts, then disappeared again. I deleted the fb account to my contacts list and re-added it and it worked. So I guess to OP, delete/remove the account from your contact list and add it again, see if that works.
dont have anything frozen with titanium backup, only thing i use it for is to restore apps after flashes never system data or anything else

i lost my nexus one after a long night in vegas so asurion sent me a vibrant instead. i just got it yesterday and i already rooted it and threw on build eugene373-hybrid rom.
but i cant seem to have my facebook sync with my contacts, so peoples pictures dont pop up in my contact list, nor do their emails. i go into settings and see "accounts and sync" and when i try to add facebook it just doesnt let me.
anyone know whats going on?
its using a completely different contacts and dialer. He stripped out alot of stuff to make it more efficient. If you need facebook, install the other rom (not the hybrid)
Simple enough. I can't make my Facebook contacts sync, at all.
Obviously the Facebook app doesn't sync, that can be fixed with a build.prop edit I think, but I don't wanna deal with that.
The TouchWiz integration syncs calendar fine, but refuses to sync contacts. I've removed my account and readded it and it still won't work, just says sync is unavailable right now. It blows!
Also, since I updated to DI07 I have no protected apps available in the Market. How do I know? Search for Gameloft and see if you find anything. Or iDemolish, you can only find the free version. Again, another build.prop edit but I wanna know if it's just me.
Facebook sync has been down all morning for me. Its something on facebooks side.

I don't know about other people on the forum, but the one thing (and I do mean one) that I hate about the fascinate is the horrible facebook syncing that it has. By default, you seem to have to manually set up each individual person for facebook sync by 'linking' the profiles. I hate it, and I miss the D1 where it automatically did everything for you. That's the one thing I miss (minus FroYo).
My question, and I'm going to experiment tonight, is if you replace system files with D1 apk's, can it work since most android applications do not seem to be resolution dependant (coded with %'s instead of 400px's, for example if that makes sense)?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently running a deodexed heavily modified AOSP Magic 0.2 rom of my own creation, but essentially the AOSP Magic rom.

Mine automatically does it...
The only one I had to manually sync was "Mom" to her real name.

I have never had it sync automatically. I have always either had 'Facebook Sync Error' or it says it's doing it any never does.
Also, just an update. No. It doesn't work. I don't have any way to get to contacts now, even though I switched back to the original files...Fantastic. LOL
EDIT: Does anyone have the ContactsProvider.apk? Deleted it and have no backup now haha
OP, I'm assuming you're talking about DI01?
Heres a deodexed version from D101
Mine syncs thm automatically if I click the get friends option and go select everyone in my phone book. I also hate that I have to do this. Stock android and htc sense handled this WAY better.
You have to be patient with the syncing with Facebook on this phone.
I too noticed my Facebook wasn't sync'ing, so this is what I did.
Delete the Facebook App
Erase the Stock Facebook Syncing
Re-download and install Facebook App and sign in.
Go back into Accounts & Sync and use the stock Facebook Icon (It's darker and more round)
Fill out your information, hit sync, set it and forget it. Just let it sit and think and do its thing forever, the screen will more than likely timeout, but thats ok, go make a sandwich, then come back and check it.
I've done this twice now and it's sync'd up. You might have to manually fix some contacts, but that's probably always the case.
It does mess up every once in awhile and can't re-sync, just go back into accounts and sync, uncheck the boxes, recheck them and let it sit again.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but what do you mean delete the stock Facebook sync? The 'AccountAndSyncSettings.apk' in /system/app?
Yeah, I'm also confused. After installing the Facebook for Android app, I see the alternative facebook account in Accounts & Sync but no matter how many times I tap on it, I cannot select it.
heres why..
the contacts that you have on your
phone might have diffrent names than
your contacts on facebook.
what you do is have your contacts
name exactly how it is on facebook
same spelling etc..
then it should automatically sync
on your phone.
i never had a problem with
syncing my contacts/facebook
Dan, were you able to get the Droid's contacts apk working?
What about adding the Facebook App's account instead of the built in one? I still cannot get that to work. If I remove the facebook app, it also disappears. I install the facebook app, go to accounts & sync, click the lower facebook account, and it takes me to the facebook app's login, but gives me no option to sync pictures to my contacts as it would on the original Droid.
In the interim, I've discovered SyncMyPix which will pull facebook pics for your google contacts and attach them. It also will sync the pics to your google account so in gmail, you'll see their facebook picture. SyncMyPix can be set to update daily, weekly, or monthly to keep the pictures up to date. It's not as good as the Droid's version, but it works for now.
Hi everyone. I installed 2.3.4 on my Atrix and have run into my first real problem.
I was in my contacts and noticed that my Facebook contacts were not showing. I went into my accounts to add my facebook account and I am unable to. I press the facebook icon and nothing happens. It says that there is a facebook account linked with Motoblur, but I cant access any of the settings (I dont even know if thats possible).
Can anyone tell me if there is something that Im doing wrong or is this a known problem?
Did you do any freeze commands in titianium backup?
No, I have never used the freeze function in Titanium Backup.

Same thing has happened for me. I don't even have titanium backup installed on my phone.
If you have the official facebook app installed, there are two facebook icons in the accounts settings, tried clicking both?
The one put there by the official facebook app has never worked on any blurred phone that I've used, can only use the default facebook account that comes with motoblur. Happened on 2.2.x and 2.3.4 for me.

go back into the setup app and log into motoblur

I tried that but did not work.
I think Im going to try to do a factory reset and go through the motoblur setup again.
**Edit**
Well I did what I said and it worked. I think that there must have been data left on the phone before I installed GB and it was causing things to not work right. Everything seems fine now.
After rooting my LG-LS980 (The Sprint G2), the first thing I did was delete bloatware. I deleted pretty much every unnecessary bloat app, and then I went through and deleted & replaced apps with their better, google counterparts. For example, I deleted the stock messaging app and replaced it with hangouts. I tried to do the same thing with the calendar app (replacing it with google calendar), but apparently if you delete the stock calendar app, NO calendar app will sync. Not google calendar, not aCalendar. I tried them both and they both are functionless. I looked around for the apk and coincidentally all of the .apk files I could find were dead links. I would love if someone could either help me get the stock app back or help me make it so I can sync google calendar.
I would like to leave restoring to my last backup as the last resort because I haven't backed up in a while due to low memory space. I swear though the second I fix this i'm going to back up again.

Sounds like you deleted the Calendar Storage system apk that is needed to sync calendars. I've got the stock calendar removed and everything works fine for me.
I've attached a TiBu backup for it but note that it may not work for you as I'm on Stock KitKat and running the Australian variant (D802-T).
Help

Same problem
Rooted phone, braindead mistake. Deleted the original calendar app along with calendar sync and calendar storage and those were all sys apps with the brilliant reasoning that i will install google calendar so why do i need so many calendars.
So i would be really thankful to get those apps and install them back
Android ver. 4.4.2 BuildID Kitkat
Kernel 3.4.67
Help!
Nevermind
I eventually solved the problem like i suspected in the first place.
- Found the original ROM for my phone
- Unpacked the archive and converted the system.ini and cstmpack.ini in .ext4 files with ext4_unpacker
- Extracted all the files from those two files and found all calendar related .apk's
- Installed Root Browser on my phone
- Checked all calendar related missing files and added those which were missing
- Checked the permissions because when i moved the files, they didn't have the right permissions
- Restarted phone and voila! Everything is like it was before
better than stock with amazing themes
