hi guys I managed to root my x10 2.1 with z4root and use titanium to freeze timescape and other crap.
before with 1.6 it stopped my phone book from working. but now its fine without the bloat crap running. but what it has done its stopped my contacts from linking automatically to Facebook.
to get their pictures up I have to manually set it in the contacts edit menu then their pic comes up.
anyone found a way of a work around so the se apps stop depending on timecrap?
could do with a 3 party camera operator all in all. don't evenl like mediascape. keyboard is ****, I'm is h the HTC keyboard hack, are their any updates on the sweet keyboard as it sometimes goes crazy and keeps the button pressed.
thanks for reading this is my first post and I have to say I have been following, and what a bad ass community!

I have the same question, is timescape the only way to integrate pictures into the phonebook?
download the facebook apk from the market... it allows to synchronize the phonebook with facebook contacts...
yeah I did that good idea.
but I had to import all the contacts.
there isn't away to link your contacts manually straight to the phone book. so I now have alot of contacts that I don't want.
I wish we could import our selected friends list from Facebook instead of all its contacts.
so what I've done is put all my contacts that I use that I have numbers for into my favorite list. but I wish I could create a shortcut straight to favorite list rather than phone book.
one thing I'm interested to find out is that if I remove my Facebook contacts will the linked numbers keep their link with Facebook on the original phone entries.....
to scared in case it doesn't work otherwise it took to long to link and it would of been a waste of time.

Sadly, to do what you want you will need timescape

Hello!
After the 2.1 update, we all noticed that even if we assign a high-resolution photo as contact picture, while on call still looks ugly.
After messing with the phone, I found that if we link Timescape Facebook contacts to the phone contacts and select to use Timescape Facebook as the contact picture, the pictures looks OK while on call.
Only problem is, third party apps cannot use those pictures, as they are restricted to Timescape and Phonebook. So, in chompSMS for example, pictures don't appear. They don't even appear on the SE Recent Calls Widget.
Is there any work around for this?
I also tried the Photo Unlocker (from Market) but didn't work.

They're bad if you use the default Facebook app for the contact photo. If you change them to use timescape Facebook for the photos they look significantly better.

Yes, I know...
Only I was actually asking about a way to un-restrict those contact photos in order for 3rd party application to use them too.
There is a workaround for pictures taken from the Facebook application,
but not for the Timescape Facebook application.
Some dev should help us out! That's the point of this thread.
EDIT: I change the title, as it was indeed misleading!! lol!
Sorry, missed that. I haven't found any work arounds for it sorry. Though I've also found that using photos that you have stored on your sd card yields some nice results. They just won't update with Facebook.

Posted this incorrectly. Sorry Bout that.
I was wondering if its possible to replace the SE Contact book with any other stock android contact book? the reason why I ask is that i think its anoying to have all my FB contacts without any phone number in my contact list..
If you ask me the SE contact book doesn't work at all! there are alot of buttons but they don't do a ****!
So could anyone help me?

Well it is like this.. I choose "Do not sync facebook contacts" and i know for a facet from a swedish forum that it doesn't matter what i choose the contacs syncs anyway.
And it do not help to remove the facebook account from the accounts on the phone either..
Do you access the contact from the Launcher Pro dock shortcut? Try accessing it from the main menu if it works the way you want.

Same thing happened to me. Just remove the Contact shortcut in the Launcher Pro dock. Then set it again. It works for me, but I have no idea if you are not using Launcher Pro or any other launcher.

didn't work :/
Ditto on the doesn't matter what I choose. Turned off sync ~2 months ago, removed all the crap from my contacts, etc. foolishly turned on facebook app and all the crap is back! sync still claims to be off but how does it explain the facebook fake info in my contacts list? (I have a friend with 012 345 6789 as their number on FB)
This would be fine but it also seems to find out of date info (on google!); So that mobile you updated, is now alongside that old one and which is which? I am visiting my sister for Christmas who now has 2 mobile numbers and 3 home numbers, Russian roulette anyone? I enjoy calling strangers for Christmas and asking them to pick me up from the airport!
used phonebook2.apk
go to contacts press menu and select contacts to view then select only contacts wid phone or deselct fb contacts from there...

anyone else here use go sms? i can't figure out why, but for the contact pictures, it's pulling everyones picture from their google picture i have on there (which was from syncmypix like MONTHS ago, so they're all outdated)
i have checked "pull pictures from facebook" and have checked email, name and number..and it doesn't work. this worked correctly on my incredible, and it was able to pull their facebook images in gosms fine...won't work with the rezound.
anyone else have any insight? i'm wondering if it's because they got rid of Facebook for HTC Sense and only use the facebook app for syncing now :\
Mine has Display Facebook avatars checked and I have it Match by Name. It seems to prefer facebook avatars over what are in my google contacts. Not sure if any of that helps you :/
wtf mines opposite, it shows google pics over facebook, which is really annoying lol
Mines the same, if I have any Google photos, it shows those instead of Facebook. Where as it shows Facebook on GO Contacts. No matter how I configure the settings. It's weird. Lol.
I had this same issue. What I found out, is the official Facebook app does not support access to the friend photos by third party apps. That's why it uses the google contact photo instead.
The older phones had Facebook for HTC Sense, that obviously is not the official facebook app so it allowed third party access to the photos. I have run into the same issue with SMS popup. Try using Friend Caster to sync facebook photos to your contacts, that'll allow third party apps to access the photos.
I just deleted google photos and it defaulted to the Facebook ones

i cant confirm this works but i have heard it works..

let me know if it does
guys, great responses!
i didn't know friendcaster replaced facebook in terms of contact pics..i tried using it once and didn't really like it's UI.
as for that script, i'm going to run that tomorrow. i'm perm rooted, so he says you should just be able to push some lines of code to get it to work. great find, guys!!
I'm a huge fan of GoSMS, its definitely the best out of the third party sms apps on the Android market!
Handcent on the other hand seems to display up to date contact pictures. Which does it take from though, Google contacts or the Facebook app?
So basically GoSMS previously synced pictures from HTC Sense's Facebook, but now in Sense 3.5 it no longer exists being replaced by the offical Facebook app which doesn't allow access by 3rd party apps :/

I know this thread has been quiet for a couple weeks, but just wanted to confirm that did indeed do the trick. I use Handcent normally, but I did download Go SMS real quick to test and that showed my contact pictures again too.
As the title says. How to ad facebook contact to my phone??
Im using a Samsung Galaxy S2.
I have set up facebook, so it sync, under control option. "Facebook contacts"
Any suggestion?
That are a few apps the force it. Your issue is due to Google removing the native Android coding to sync Facebook without the app.
I am not sure of the apps names as I don't sync fb to my phone

Thx for respons!
hmmm... too bad. I have been looking for a app, that could solve the problem, but with no luck :/
Anyone else that had figured this out ?
It should be mentioned that I'm running on a custom rom, ICS 4.04
For me, it works to create a contact as a google contact, then turn on Facebook sync under settings.
Cool will try that out, and see if it works!
grrr .. doesn't work at all
The default Facebook sync works for me, but the pictures are low res and blurry. I'm on ICS 4.0.4 too. The best app for Facebook sync is HaxSync. Pictures are nice and clear and it automatically selects the best resolution picture from someone's profile pictures album. Also syncs statuses and other stuff but I don't care for that.

Note: the app only works on ICS, not GB.

Hi Guys, hope this thead is approppriate here.
I wonder how do you manage your contacts, for me it turned out very messy. Well I don't really have problem with Google contacts, but since our phones are also capable to show FB and many accounts contacts i would be awesome to combien all the useful infos....something like ENHANCING my Gooogle contacts using other accounts infos (like picture ansd birthdays, among others)
I don{t know if this is a temporary issu....but My FB contact are not synching well and and pictures are not always synched.
I used to have an iPhone 3gs and ther was this app called "MyPhone+"....was very handy......anyone know something like this for Android!
Hope you can help me....!
Thanks!

If you only need to add the syncing aspect, Friends Sync by WATTO Studios is my Fave. It's consistent, small, fast, & syncs more fields than other apps. The logo is ugly, though, IMO.

from your account of Gmail , enter the version web and edit your contacts, it works for me.:good:
Windows Phone has an option of linking two or more contacts. Quite useful. There must be an easy way in Android as well.
When you go to Contacts and select any contact, there should be an option to join contacts. You can cut out the duplicate entries this way and have all the info show up on one name.
When you join contacts it's works but if you wipe flash new rom all changes revert back

Google Contacts the very first time is a mess, but after you reorganize all your contacts everything works simple fine
Myphoneexplorer is quite good for cleaning up contacts. Used to allow merging but for some reason that got taken away.

I keep all my contacts in Microsoft outlook on my PC and sync using "myphonexplorer".
Categories in outlook sync with groups in both stock android contact manager and "go contacts".
I prefer "go contacts" to the stock contact manager because if fully customizable and allows group messaging without the cap on number of contacts also group chat..
"Myphonexplorer" syncs contacts, messages, calendar, and files via usb and Wi-Fi. Also allows you to text from your PC.
The only things missing from "Myphonexplorer" is mms and group messaging from PC which would be really nice.
Both "Myphonexplorer" and "go contacts" are free in the play store.

Not if you sync them to Google after you have them sorted the way you want.
i don't want to open a new topic just for this question, so i'll post it here:
When adding a new contact to a google account from android, is there any way to auto insert that contact to a custom created group? I keep forgetting to add the new contacts to a specific group and i want this operation to be done automatically, any solutions?

vCard sucks.. it doesnt support enough kinds of information, such as categories.. it doesnt work worth crap for CJK Characters either.. I cant believe every single program for Android only supports vCrap anyway.. but its all we have for now I guess... Windows 7 only has vCard 2.1 support.. .. but, it could be remedied on the software end by a program that would allow you to group contacts by a specific field.. you could then use one of the other existing fields as a "Categories" field...
there arent really any good programs from what I've seen.. honestly, I think i need to learn how to program an Android app just so I can find something useful so i'm not always stuck in suckville
but then, i dont think android will be around much longer.
