facebook contacts - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

just a question... I searched all over for this and just wanted to make sure...
All my facebook contacts are updated in the 'contacts' app and wanted to know whether only motoblur/sense does this or if other builds (cyanogenmod and vanilla android) also do this?
I don't wanna lose this feature

cyanogen does do this after you install the google package(which you have to anyway if you want the market)

[APP] Google Voice 0.4.1.19 from G2 & Smoked Widgets from nexus one

There are screenshots of the smoked widgets in the thread if you click through to it, and I'm sure if you search G2 rom, google voice widget, you'll find screenshots of them too.
cheers,

Here it is: http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/08/30/google-voice-widgets-leaked-for-android/ theres a video included as well.
I flashed the Smoked Widgets zip and now I'm stuck in a soft reboot loop. Sigh. Not a full reboot, just keeps going to black screen, no network connection, starting up again, scanning memory card, wash-rinse-repeat. Can't open any apps or do anything before it reboots itself again.
You have to do each .apk
Don't use the flashable .zip!
I've gotten Twitter, News & Weather, & Pandora widgets to work
Trying to get the CalendarProvider, FaceBook, & Engadget widgets working, but no luck so far. If anyone does get them to work, I would love to hear what you did
I was stuck at the reboot after installing the Smoked zip as well. Reflashed to stock and then since I was there, installed Vibrant8. adb installed Twitter.apk. adb installer failed for the the Facebook.apk so I did a adb push for both the Facebook.apk and GenieWidget.apk.
All 3 apps loaded fine but when I tried to reboot the phone froze as it was loading up. I don't know if it is one of the apk's (Facebook?) that was causing the issue or Vibrant8 but it would be interesting to see if anyone with a Vibrant on 2.1 got the Facebook one to work after a reboot.
I'm on 2.1, and currently working on getting FB to work. I'll post my results and method later today (might wind up being more like very early tomorrow haha)
No need for this anymore. Google Voice is now officially updated on the market with the widgets. Version 0.4.1.26
Does this mean we can use GV without using our carrier minutes?

They were calling Google an idiot, not you. Funny, though.
Kind of hard to tell since grammar isn't being used. It changes the whole structure of the sentence.
lol......wtf called u idiot? unreal

Alright so how do you apply those smoked widgets?
so i am trying to install these via root explorer, but i can't seem to find the apks for facebook or twitter in the system/app or root explorer?? it's on myu device but it must be named something else, anyone have a clue?
Did anyone get Facebook or Twitter working?

Any Way to Replace MotoBlur Contact App with stock Android Contact App?

I cannot view my categories like business, friends, family etc. using the motoblur contacts app. It is terrible. Is there any way I can replace it with the stock contacts app found on most other android phones??
p.s. tried fooling around freezing things with titanium backup, not sure what else to do. I really need the stock contacts experience need some help!
Did you try any market contact apps? I recommend go contacts but check out a few different ones see if you like any.

I really dont want a 3rd party contacts app. I want the stock contacts app as it will also replace the contacts section in the phone app. Also because I feel it is sorda ridiculous to have to use a 3rd party app for contacts.
Is there really no way to get the stock android contact experience?? Please anyone!!
Just checking in for an answer myself...

I love these "I don't like 3rd party apps" replies.
1) fixes the problem
2) you can get ones that have a dialer included
3) you can even find ones that look like stock
4) if you are afraid of using 3rd party apps why use Android?

Reasons why i dont want to have to resort to using a 3rd party app for CONTACTS....
1) I shouldn't have to.
2) Because contacts is integrated into the phone app which I don't intend on using a different app for also.
3)I dont like the look of the 3rd party apps icons I want the stock look(I dont want to have to skin them either)
4)I've already tried a few and I much prefer the stock contacts app found on non-blur devices
So I ask again. Isn't there some way to replace or strip the motoblur elements from the stock "CONTACTS" app??

I don't know if this would work, but it might be worth a shot:
I'd SCOUR the XDA android forums for a "dump" from a different phone that might contain the stock contacts APK.
I truly cannot direct further than that, because I have no idea where to go from there.
Obviously, if you find a dump and a working stock APK, share it with us!
Good luck!
Doesn't GingerBlur have the stock contacts app? Since it is based off Gingerbread and all.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. You can tell it's motoblurred up because when you swipe left and right when looking at your contacts, you can get to the "status updates" page (meant for facebook, etc.). The stock app doesn't have this (99% sure), not that it's a big deal at all (one way or the other) for me.
[OP's probably red eyed, running on XX number of red bulls trying to find a dump right now.]

Just tried "Go Contacts" and, it's a skinned mess of the stock.
Hopefully Gingerbread can "help" fix what Motoblur messed up...

anyone have a screenshot of what it looked like in the before time? I barely even booted my atrix before putting 2.3.4 on it. Contacts exists as a tab on the dialer (though it has a separate launcher icon, I hate that crap). The dialer offends all the senses but the contacts bit is pretty simple. A list of contacts, with pictures (from Google Contacts I'd imagine, I haven't signed in to facebook on this), little status icons to show if they're online on google talk, a search button, and a button for groups. I only have the one group, "My Contacts" from Google. I tried creating a group on the phone, it doesn't appear as though it'll be synced to the cloud though so it's fairly pointless. I could be wrong on that last bit.

[Q] Replace the Contacts app?

Is it possible to replace the regular nook contacts app with the stock Gingerbread one?

i have not done this for the 'contacts app' but i have done it for similar items. the titanium backup app will let you 'freeze' and then also 'remove' just about anything. freezing is better and safer ( and can be un-done ). . be VERY careful and read up on it
Tried that, but contacts.apk still won't show up on my launcher even after reboot.

No you can't but is safe to remove stock nook contacts app. When you install gmail and create an account it should give you the option to sync contacts.
You can also use any other contacts manager app from google play

Any suggestion? I have Go Contacts installed right now, it is OK, but I don't like it that much.

FB MESSENGER DARK MODE (Beta Messenger Users Only)

User @VincentJoshuaET in our Telegram group found a way to enable it with root. Without any further ado, let’s get into it. Keep in mind that you should already have Magisk (or any other rooting solution)
Click to expand...

Requirements:
BETA MESSENGER IN GOOGLE PLAY STORE (Or search it on the internet)
Rooted Phone
Terminal Emulator
It should work on all rooted devices with Beta Messenger installed.
Confirmed working on my Pocophone F1
(Magisk v16, HavocOS custom rom installed)
The original full guide is posted here:

Waiting for official release in non-beta

Because it's a beta feature that Facebook hasn't chosen to make available yet. It's technically there but not activated. This tutorial helps you to activate it manually if you want.
I don't see Facebook making a zip for you to flash
Or anyone making one just for a simple modification like this.

Can you please check you are using the beta version of the app ?
Here's the link to register as a beta tester : I'm a link !
Once you've signed up, going to the play store page for messenger should show "update" instead of "open".
Then try again.
Tell me if it works !

Unfortunately, no. Facebook announced only the dark mode on Facebook Messenger app. I tried to find ways to have dark mode for Facebook. I found substratum few days ago and I though it was gonna work but no. Facebook app updates every week and they deliberately scrambles the codes so that it cannot be tampered. Devs and for the theme makers find this difficult because it is frustrating and totally a waste of time. Facebook should add dark mode too. Although, substratum is good for making layouts and templates for other apps like Instagram, Google app, Google Maps, YouTube, etc., especially changing an app's theme (from stock theme to dark theme) it depends on what theme package you've installed because some packages lacks other apps. I totally recommend to use substratum. Here, I have some screenshots.

Hi

MIUI 13

If anyone wants to try MIUI 13, just go to this link https://xiaomiui.net/miui-13-for-xiaomi-mi-9-9191/ and follow the steps.
Using it for a couple of days and it's working great. Only bug is no Vibration. But everything else is working fine. And the finger print reader is much faster.
Got some Japanese in the UI, but it's fine really.
Dev fixed the vibration bug, but maybe material you colors for google apps don't work. Here's the Port: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gwRJ5eIuEcpeDdsm_RfcAuMi5qZphyXE/view

Amazing thing to do, works very well... I just cannot use a rom without my native language and google play services. It's a very cool novelty thing maybe xiaomi.eu guys might pick it up but as of right now it's unusable for me.
