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?

Hi,
I found that there is a new version of Facebook ... version 1.2 (Market).
http://phandroid.com/2010/04/23/facebook-app-updates-adds-inbox-support/
And on my HTC Desire, the version is 112.
Anyone has updated this?
There are 2 facebook apps on my Desire:
- facebook (version 112)
- Facebook for HTC Sense (version 1)
How do you update?
Thanks
i only did the usual way to upgrade,
market -> download, and click on the application, and update.
Any feedback about the version? I see quite a few complaints about force closes on other handsets, how is it in the Desire?
Works just fine on the Desire. My biggest problem is you can't view your messages you have to manually go to the mobile site...oh wait what's this update...messaging feature finally! Now they need to add chat.
yep just updated today.. finally INBOX , otherwise not really seen anything different.
They need to get up to date with this android Facebook app. I did the update today hoping for the notifications to finally work properly, as in notifying me if someone comments on one of my posts! but alas, still no cigar, infact it never seems to notify me of anything. Is it just me?

I get updates but only if I add people with facebook to my Friends Widget..... then it adds a green circle with the number of updates by a friend.
the main app works fine, but the widget doesn't. fails to load each time.
edit: confirm that a reboot does indeed fix the problem.
A reboot of the Desire solved the issue with the widget for me
I've started using Bloo again lately. Much better notifications system, slicker and more comprehensive UI (has its own photo viewer with save option rather than just linking to the mobile site for example) AND there's an update coming this week that adds Facebook Chat.
Bloo doesn't let me log in i get stuck in a login cycle.
There is also multitouch when you view images.
Have you given the App permissions? Works fine on my Desire running generic Rom. Not bothered about multitouch; the only reason the native Facebook app has it is because it opens up the browser and that's CHEATING ;-) the gallery UI is much more slick and user friendly with Bloo, besides which there's little point viewing photos en masse with either of these apps as the standard photo gallery has Facebook album integration which is pretty damn slick
they have added the inbox but still it has few bugs. It cannot show more than 30 threaded messages in a single conversation. Even when someone sends a new message in that same conversation, you can see the preview on the inbox but when you click to go on reading it loads first 30 messages.
So im still stuck with the mobile facebook to see my messages. ..
anyone know the workaround of this?
I just want an update that lets me tag photos! I don't understand why this is taking so long
The update for Bloo has been coming for a few months. However, I can send you 1.5 (w/ chat) a bit later? PM if you want.
Also, I can't see the new update. I'm already on 1.2 :s Does the new version allow contact sync like the Nexus FroYo version?
Edit: New version sounds like the version I've had for some time now :s

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.
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.
I finally broke and got a smartphone. I was against getting one until I switched to Sprint(I hate Verizon) and opted to get the 4g Shift. Love it. Just rooted it, no problems there. I'm running the NonSense ROM with the 1.8ghz Kernel and it works awesome.
I don't like that the texts don't display the Facebook pictures anymore, any suggestions?
I'm also trying to find a way to update my Voicemail. I try running the .apk using a file manager but it says "no space for application" and I don't know how else to install.
Anyways, I'm looking forward for the polished versions of all these ROMS. I do love the ROM I'm using though!

The texts don't display fb pictures anymore because you're running a rom without sense so the native message app on your phone won't sync the photos..what you could do is install fb from market and sync it with all contacts..should fix this..
How much space if available on your phone to install to? I use adao file manager just cause it shows a little completion bar for phone mem and sd mem

I downloaded the FB app from market and sync'ed with all contacts but still no luck.
I love the new Phone app that it came with. Much more user friendly, I'm not so hot on the messaging app.
The error isn't that it isn't space left, its "no application available" when I try to install the .apk file.
On the facebook picture on contacts, on a AOSP rom, you have to go to each contact, and edit, then press menu and join, and you can join it with a synced facebook contact. Make sure you have facebook to sync contacts (can adjust in the facebook app and in settings/accounts and sync
As far as voicemail, if you want to run non sense roms, I suggest getting google voice, and set it up for your voicemail, you'll save a lot of headaches. (Actually, I suggest google voice for voicemail whether your on aosp or sense, I like it way better)
And if you don't like the messaging app, there are a ton of replacements in the market. Handcent is popular, but kinda heavy. Try each and see what you think.

Thanks alot! I tried that but under my ROM it makes me pick between two different "contact" editors and when I try to edit it through the old "sense" looking one it FCs.
I will look into Google Voice. Thanks for your help!
Are you using a sense stripped rom or a true aoso rom? If it's just sense stripped, stripping sense from it may have broken something. If it's aosp, there shouldn't be two different contact apps...
