Facebook Pics Sync

Maybe I am late to the party on this one but I felt some people, especialy the newer people who are new to using Cyanogen nightlies and use Facebook a lot might like this tidbit of information. There is an app called Sync my Pix. I just installed it and voila My contacts have their facebook pics now. Thank you to lucky lui for pointing this out. I hope someone else finds this app as helpful as I did.
Enjoy everyone

nice apps but kinda old

Do you have any other/better options that would be "new"

This wouldn't belong in the Development forum regardless.
BTW, it might be 'old' for CN users, but people wanting to give CN a try from Sense (we have that feature built-in) will be happy to hear such an app exists. I feel more confident giving it a try now. Thanks!

What are people's thoughts?

I think it's amazing. Clean, and simple. Oh...and A LOT better than Facebook. Facebook should die. only my opinion.

pluses: NO GAMES, whoriscopes i mean horoscopes, and or crappy as question things. i like how i can post a thing for my friends or my work colleagues which includes my boss (i work in an IT dept so we are all nerds and wanted it) with out sharing to much or what ever. honestly im just glad its not facebook i had been only keeping for the point to keep in contact with people that have moved away and inviting them to google was easy
cons: ummm invite only? ha jk its blown up as is so im happy. I feel as if i am selling my soul to google but if thats true i have done that awhile ago so too late now
the only thing really i think that needs to be added is that we need a way for events and functions to be added to google calender or something. like facebook (i know i hate it but it works)
oh im a keep pushing that we should all leave facebook at a semi coordinated time

I totally agree, with the selling your soul to Google. If Goog made it, I will pretty much be inclined to like it. I guess, I'm a Goog FanBoy? Ant-Apple as well.
Also, can't agree with you more on Google+, it's got a little bit of a learning curve. Mainly because we are all creatures of habit, and there are a few differences from FaceBook, but overally am liking it more and more. Also, worthy of mention is the fact that their Adnroid App, is WAY better hands-down, than FaceBooks.
I am Pro-Simplicity when it comes to the web, and Google is the epitamy of simplistic design. Plus, I was getting totally annoyed with all those stupid Farmville request. Especially when I see a pop-up from a friend that says "I need Help" in the title. So you automatically think, oh, I should look at that right away. Only to find out, your supposed friend was playing some bakery/store game and is asking you to give them some flour or something. Lame.

So far it's been really great. Much simpler interface than FB, more web 2.0 if you will...
I'm hoping a LOT of people get on board and give FB a run for their money. I don't hate FB, but it's pretty clear there needs to be SOME competition to the Zuckerburg juggernaut.

You actually only have to deal with that once. You can hide all posts regarding any app or game and you don't have to deal with that rubbish again.

i would have to agree with what i am reading i just wanted to hear some other peoples thoughts... lots of pros and i have yet to really find a con other then i am wanting more people to jump on board so i can see where the app will lead!!! LOVE THE SIMPLICITY and the fact that.... well.... everything seems to work unlike facebook!!!! its social network at its finest without all the crap from what i have seen!!!!...... and actually i think Google already owns our android loving souls at this point, I'm sure its in the fine print somewhere....lol

i've been wanting to see what the big deal is with this if any of yall have an extra invite and dont mine sending one this way that would be awesome. my email is [email protected]

To keep your soul from wanting hell today, I will also send a couple of invites to anybody that Pm me their gmail account. I will not be a snappy/fast thing. But I will check it atleast once a day ok.
Back to topic, the resounding answer to your question is a YES! I Like it! It's a social network that got it right and its not Facebook!
Simple Elegant UI and I love the auto upload of photos shot on your phone from the app, its a nice way to bacup automatically to the cloud.
In the app also, the "nearby" tab on the stream is golden if you ask me, it allows you to see peoples public post around the location in which you are at the moment, allowing you to get in the conversation with new people and knowing is somebody close by and might be somebody that you already seen around or something.
It's Golden!

Google+ Invitations

Hey,
I know this dont have to do with Archos at all, but i want to give you the chance to get Google+
Many people around here are Google Fanboys, so i thought, you might are interested
If you dont know what Google+ is, please watch this video:
Instructions:
1) Post here, why you want Google+ and what you think about Facebook in a small text.
2) Send me a PM with your email adress, so i can invite you.
( I will try to invite you so fast as i can )
Posters like "I want a Invitation" wont be invitated by me.
I would be happy if you hit thanks
If you want to you can also PM eagleofdeath13 or Techngro.
(Dont forget to write a quick post here why you want it and what do you think about FB !)
Greets,
Lenn

Looks great, I have it on my A70S ... but haven't used yet ... I didn't have time to test it ... tomorrow maybe ...

I also have Google+ invites, so you can PM me too. Not to hijack the OP thread, but there's no point in making multiple threads for this I think. I hope Lenn doesn't mind.

You know, mainly I'm curious to see what ask the hubbub's about. I also think it might integrate better with Android than FB.

G+ is better XD
Now, the non-troll version:
Google+ miss just one thing, the people on Facebook.
But it has everything else, the video chat is better, the contact managing is so much better (<3 circles) i just want to quit facebook (when G+ will be released ^^)

I delted my Facebook account just this morning
I think G+ is much more clear than FB, isn it?

g+ is much better than facebook.....more privacy, better contact management, .....

I would appreciate an invite to google+
I think Facebook assumes I want to share everything with everyone, which is not the case.
I Thank you in advance.

Sure you can add me to the first post.
I quit Facebook over a year ago. It was all just too much going on. Plus I didn't like the fact that my whole life story was online in one place where you never really know whether what you put up is private, cause they keep changing the rules.
I like the fact that you can really segment the people you know on G+ into groups so that you don't get overwhelmed. I had 300+ friends on Facebook, 285 of whom I barely said two words to in the last 10 years. I don't need to see everything they write every 15 minutes.
I mean, the jury is still out on G+ of course, but so far I like what they're trying to do.
Edit: Guys, don't forget to give your email when you PM. Also don't forget to thank whoever gives you the invite.

Can i please have an invite to Google Plus? Thanks a million guys.

Google+ Circle

Has anyone started a Google+ circle for XDA Galaxy S2 users? There is a good group going over at the Tab 10.1 forum and it's working well.
You can circle me at http://gplus.to/seanjobig

http://gplus.to/ph00ny

This is stupid because circles in Google+ don't work globally.
There would be better to create a group on Facebook.

It works nicely to get posts from people with similar interests in Google+
And i dont really use facebook anymore. G+ is especially better for this kind of situation where dont necessarily want to be friends, just casualky check and comment.

Haha i know, was just kidding, everyone started as a Junior Member even me.
I have been using the Outlook app for a wile, but not anymore had some problems like random crashing (FC), and sync problems.
I now use the google email app on all devices, i usaly remove the stock email app (like the Samsung email app on the Note 10.1 or the Galaxy S4) and install the one from google apps, i just like the clean interface.
O and i wish you good luck XDA Developers. :good:
