Hi,
Is there any app which gives FB-integration for Samsung Galaxy 3, just like how HTC Sense integrates FB...with contact nos, pics et al...
I dont think everything can be done with a app... If we want a sense like integration we need a new ROM.. But I think Samsung already gives a good to use integration in contacts, gallery ets. Didnt you see that?
I think that someone didn't use the synchro with fb... When you will do that, sth will change for sure in contacts. Or use option of downloading contacts. Thats all.

Samsung gives integration of contacts with FB? How? I've been using the TouchWiz launcher for ages and still haven't seen that kind of an integration?!!

Goto settings ---> Accounts ---> FB....Add your FB account and the contacts and calendars would be synchronized! You can also join your contacts with the FB contacts and the pics and other details would be synchronized with the phone contacts!

I was using an HTC Droid Incredible to help my friend, and to sync up a Contact with a Facebook account, all I had to do was go to the Contact, hit sync or whatever, scroll through their facebook friends, select the right one, and it was done.
On my vanilla android, it doesn't have that option, and wants to shove facebook news feed onto a panel of my contacts, and if I'm not careful, add everyone from Facebook into my contacts.
Is the scenario I described first a Sense UI feature? Because if it is, Google needs to get on that.
Yes it is, it's built in; had it with my HTC Magic.

How does it work with Stock Android then, exactly? I don't want it to take over statuses and stuff really, but Profiles Pictures and stupid data like birthdays would be nice to grab.

Short answer: you need to spend some more time with it LOL
Install FB app from market. It will ask if you want to sync Contact, say yes. Hit your tab by holding down the finger and select add Widget, you should see FB there. Add it then change the refresh settings to your liking.
Hi
thanks for the reply. I followed same steps but contact sync with Facebook is not good as HTC phones.

I have this same issue. THe sync with Samsung is HORRIBLE. Contact photos do not sync well, links cant be established properly and IF you can link contacts, you can't choose to use say FB's contact photo?? WTF.
Even Windows Mobile 6.5 was better than this! I could click on a contact... in options, choose link to FB contact and viola. GReat especially when some people don't like to use real or full names on FB and use different email addresses for work and social. After that, you could even hold down over the contact photo and then choose to use FB photo, something from the callery or even take a photo!
I used syncmypic to try do this and it helped a little but it still wont work fully.
Also... even if you manage to link contacts manually, you can't choose to use FB photo if there already is a photo for your contact... annoying and poorly thought out...
I use dolphin hd and the desktop user agent add on I only have the fb app just for the share pics and youtube option
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.

if you want your facebook events and birthdays you can add them to your google calendar via ical link.
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

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?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
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.
