Picture quality
What about downloaded picture size. They are downloaded in size of icons, on 5.0.2 it looks ugly.

Unfortunately that can't be changed as far as I'm aware. You'd need to use a 3rd party app from the Play Store for that.

Understood about that.another question is about FB info syncing. Merged contacts are not synced to Google contacts, so that FB info is only shown on device. I have many contacts merged manually and don't want to do same work for other devices. How to write that extra fields from Facebook to contact permanently?

I've tried your solution and the installation runs perfectly but not FB contact appears so i tried the manipulation of the DB and it doesn't work either. I've put a screenshot as attach files.
Anway thanks for your work !

error android.process.acore
I am using AOSP rom on Xiaomi MI3.. I did everything as you said but after rebooting the error keeps on flashing
android.process.acore
If i delete my facebook app the error is gone so is there any method to remove this permanently and use facebook app ??
Please respond

Any news on 5.1.1 mod? Running cm12.1 bacon if you need any apks

facebook
I managed to synchronize contacts with the flash on the front page. but contact photos of facebbok are ugly, low resolution.
there a method to have higher resolution

Facebook contacts sync on CM12.1 5.1.1
This board is the only place I've found on the web that's even talking about this issue, but none of the solutions I've found seem to help me. So maybe one of you astute technical types out there can solve this perplexing issue.
I cannot get Facebook to sync its contacts with my address book to save my life. Syncing doesn't appear to even be an option when I go to the accounts section in my phone settings. I've set Facebook itself to continuously upload my contacts, but nothing is happening outside of Facebook like it used to do in Kitkat.
I'm running Android 5.1.1, the latest CM12.1 nightly, on what was a T-Mobile SGH-M919 but is now a GT-I9505 because of the upgrade. I've tried the patch that was on one of the threads for Facebook on 5.1, but even with wiping the cache/data on both Facebook and Contacts Storage both before and after the patch, I'm left with an annoying error that the acore process has stopped. Sync.me doesn't do the job anymore, either. I even tried Facebook Hello, but that just gave me a second address book, and I prefer Contacts+.
I really would like to be able to solve this. I'd like to be able to cross-pollinate all my FB info to my Contacts+ address book, but I'd just settle for the pictures (it's nice when someone calls and I just need to see the photo to know who it is before I answer, know what I mean?). Thanks to anyone who can solve this.

Cannot flash zip
I was really looking forward to trying this fix out, but when I try to install zip from recovery it throws:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifing update package
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failure

The device is Xperia M and rom CM 12.1 (bulid from 01.06.2015 I think)
I used the file LollipopFBSync(5.1).zip
Thanks in advance for any help,

Not working, showing SSL error when try to log in to Facebook app
Attaching the screenshot.

Great, I am not allowed to post in the thread! :-||
So I will post in Q&A, knowing my post will get less attention.
On my Sony Xperia M (CM 12.1) I get an error message "com.android.acore has stopped" after installing this software. My system is not usable anymore.
I made a restore and installed xposed framework with this module, which works like a charm, even with the latest Facebook version (not beta).

that was simple problem, you just need to change your kernel
ID LINE : mcsyber
Line Issue
Register your line while connected via WIFI
I had the same issue. It works fine if you do it that way.
There is no need for a new kernel.
I have used Line on Siyah and Chameleon (Apolo) however after a PIT change I developed issues when going back to Apolo
Hey There,
Same problem for me. Went from an Iphone with a Line account on it, and would like to transfer it to my Android device. Wasn't able to do this so far. I saw some of you might have the same problem.
I did it through WIFI, no change.
How did you guys figure it out?
Thanks!

[Q] Can't use Hangouts/SMS in Cyanogenmod 11

Couldn't post this on the development thread because I just started an account here.
Just loaded Cyanogenmod 11 and it appears that several other people weren't able to open their default Message app or use hangouts to send SMS's. Whenever I attempted to send an SMS through Hangouts it force closed immediately without sending the message.
The only suggested solution in the Development thread was to empty Hangouts' cache but that didn't help at all.
Thanks for any help!

This is the right place to post this.
Hangouts and other MSG apps don't work right now on CM11:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573735
CM11 is being rebuilt with a new kernel and presumably new radio drivers.
It's not yet ready, and we don't know when, but when it is, it will be posted and we will all know.

Thanks, new to this whole rooting thing. Got extremely tired of the stock ROM continually crapping out on me.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Facebook Messenger gives me old UI despite having latest update PLEASE HELP !

First of all, sorry If Ive chosen the wrong subforum for this question, dont know where else to put it.
Figured that you guys might have enough knowledge to help me, altho I think I cant do anything because I tried E V E R Y T H I N G.
So basically my Messenger looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/rqPRy which is like a 1 year old version. And yes I have the latest update and I just cant get the new UI and functions working. It looks like its server-related but why would Facebook not push the button on my account ?
Things I tried so far:
- Reinstalling the app
- Restarting the phone
- Factory reset
- Download the .apk of the latest version and install it manually
- Entered the Messenger beta
- Install it from US VPN
- Clearing all caches and cookies from all devices and log in again
- Log in to different mobile device (for example my friend has new UI on his old S4 and when I logged in with my account, it showed the old one - wtf)
- When I created a new fake facebook account and switched account on my Messenger (it showed new UI) when I switched back to my account, its the old UI again
- I contacted facebook about this, no response. Just some generic automatic response "Thank your for this report we make sure to check bla bla bla"
my phone is Nokia 8 running Android Oreo 8.0 (before 7.1.1 same problem)
Any ideas? I think only Facebook itself can sort this out but its impossible to reach them and have my attention.

Question Help with Lenovo Legion Y90 (L71061)

I bought the Y90 from Aliexpress and was assured the device will come with google play services and google play.
I understand the phone is a china ROM and I checked the bands for Australia and it seemed that it would work.
After receiving the phone, I tried to add my google account to the phone to begin to import my saved data and download apps.
However, all I get is "Couldn't Sign in there was a problem communicating with google servers try again later".
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (it is my first post) but this was the best place i could find with regard to lenovo china ROM related queries.
Also, is it possible to install a different ROM on this phone? (I've seen that a global ROM is generally required to install custom ROMS. I'm also a noob with this stuff so be nice)
Thank you!
Hi,
I also have the y90 after I recieved from china, I updated it and google play service stopped working.
I can try to send you the my gdrive link below:
google-play-services-22-18-20-040300-451484765.apk
drive.google.com
You can download from there and try installing the framework(google services apk) and install google playstore direct from the app gallery provided with legion y90 china.
you can also find the google services apk on uptodown.com website, I downloaded it from there.
First you need to remove the google play store and google play services from the app management in settings (clear storage and clear cache before uninstalling the google playstore and google services).
Then download the google services apk from my link and install the services then install the google playstore.
Enjoy your Legion y90.

Hello, all u need do is go to Settings > App management. In App management, u will see three dots above. Click on the three dots at the top right corner and go to Google basic Services. Off and On the toggle button. This time, u should be able to open google applications and login to them without any problems
Are you facing issue with lenovo legion y90 for notifications.
Whatsapp notifications and google notifications not popping up.
I somehow fixed it by reinstalling the google play services and it just worked.
Will definitely look at the app management section it seems it will come in handy.
Yes, I also have a problem will notifications for most applications just not coming through unless I physically enter the apps then the notifications will come through altogether. That's why im interested in a custom ROM hopefully someone can help with it in the near future..
Hello. You guys don't have contact contact issues? It gradually erases my contacts. I import them from a file to the phone memory and it does the same thing to me. I passed them to a microsoft account and still they keep disappearing.

Anyone wants to try to root?
Quick question to Y90 users, since I can't find the info anywhere else, what's the thickness of the Y90 at the edge and at the bump?
I've found in specs that the thickness of the phone is 10.1 mm but it doesn't specify if at the bump or not.
im receiving it cant sing in on google services, does anyone knows what to do ?
I found the issue go to settings > manage apps > ... > google services > activate it.
Then try again
