well i flashed to coderom v2x-2b but this rom doesn't includes the default sns accounts integration for facebook and twitter contacts, i already tried moving snsprovider.apk and snsaccount.apk into system/app with root explorer, but the option in the accounts and syc menu aren't there...
maybe because this rom is deodex? can someone help me?
what i did is downloaded Friendcaster for Facebook frm market..
so can sync the contacts with the phone..
and for calender reminders Friendcaster notifies me whn the event is trigered..
so pretty much does the trick for me..
hope that helps
EDIT: Even Facebook for android would also do the trick for contact syncing.. if u are not much concerned for calender events..
i am going to try but... i installed the facebook app and it haves contact sync, i can see my contacts display pictures in the contacts list but i can't see those display pictures when someone calls me.
didn't knwd that... i m using fullscreen caller id.. so didn't knwed about the stock incoming screen..

hey...
i saw my frnds galaxy 3 with some custom rom...he had facebook pics in the dialler and also status updates when he called anyone....
i have a problem in Facebook synchronization...
i get all my facebook friends dp in my contacts but not wen i call them....
is der a way to atleast get facebook pics wen u call someone?
To achieve this, you mustn't link the contacts in your list with the contacts from the FB-app, but with the Facebook-account you can set up in the account-menu (in options, it's preinstalled!). Hope you unterstand what i mean ^^.
Basically what he means to say is that you need to go to Menu---> settings--> Accounts and sync & select their select facebook account. It would ask you to sync contacts, just check that box and you would have what you want.
hope that it helps
well i aready hav an account there....ive got two accounts , the one i created and the facebook-app account....so shall i delete the application account?
i didnt get u??
wat u mean by 2 accounts thats ur created
i mean i already have the facebook-application account and another account which i created in Accounts and sync settings.....so ive got two accounts der....
also i cant seem to sync the calender with fb....
i guess ill delete the application account and see wad happens....
Did you merge the Facebook accounts with your contacts? Should then show the blue Facebook-"f" in their description.
i guess the two diff a/c would be conflicting within each other... try removing it and let me know if u stil hav the prob
yes its done now ...thanx...
but birthdays dont sync with calender only the events do....
and when i call someone the facebook status update dosent show on the dialler...
For the birthday thing: i exported the birthadys from facebook (there's a link, not sure where) and imported them into my google calender.
export your contact from facebook using a desktop system and then update them to your google calender.
the next time google sync from your phone, it would be there

Hi, I have a problem that has been puzzling me for some weeks now. Here is the situation:
I have a Galaxy S, running a custom ROM on 2.3.3. I have my Google and Facebook accounts and my Android calendar shows events from both Google (events I entered, contact birthdays, etc) and Facebook (FB events and birthdays). The Facebook account is the integrated one (the one listed in the top, with Twitter and Myspace).
So I bought my wife a Galaxy Ace. It has a stock ROM from our local Braziloan carrier (Claro). When we bought it, it was running 2.2.1 but Kies just updated it to 2.3.4 this weekend. In the Ace, my wife also has a Google and a Facebook account (the integrated one as well) but with a difference: her calendar shows all Google events but for Facebook it shows only the events, not the birthdays!
I hoped the upgrade to 2.3.4 would solve it but nothing... I already checked and the Facebook contacts do have birthdays (when viewed from the contacts app).
I tried peeking at the "calendar.db" as suggested here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100191) but could not find anything wrong in there.
I also searched for "calendar", "facebook", etc here in XDA but no help sp far...
Any clues???
Did you reinstall Facebook ?

Try to sync? In the settings in facebook.
its a common problem i think...
when i sync my contacts with fb, the birthdays are showing in the agenda but there is no way to display those birthdays in the calendar...
what i did is export your facebook birthday calendar and import it in google calendar (web), then you can go into calendar app and sync that calendar.
Thanks for you replies. Here are my comments:

Actually, I did... I even wiped it all and re-installed everything. Did not work either... But please notice that the Facebook app itself is not the case here. Why? The Facebook app uses a non-integrated Facebook account and I'm using the integrated account.

Yes. I configured it to sync contacts and calendar... And I synced hundreds of times, just to make sure.

This is a workaround, indeed. But I don't want to to this way because it is not automatic: each way a new friend is added in Facebook, I'd have to re-export the FB calendar to Google.
Here is some additional info. I did some more peeking in the databases (the .db files) and found out that the birthdays are not being loaded in the "events" table from the "calendar.db" file (not sure about the exact names, I don't have the phone at hand now...). If I look at this database in my Galaxy S (where it works), I see all Facebook birthdays and events in this "events" table. In the Ace, only the Facebook events were there...
Now it looks like the problem might be in the syncing itself, not in the actual Calendar app (which only display what is in the database).
I had this weird idea: since everything works in my Galaxy S (I even did a real-case test: I wiped my Galaxy S, configured my wife's Gmail and Facebook accounts and it worked perfectly), would it make sense to copy the .apk's from my phone to the Ace? If true, which .apk's could it be?
It doesn't work for me too. Actually, facebook only has the option of syncing contacts. Do I have to have a google account tied to facebook for facebook events to be synced to calendar?
Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble at the moment getting my Facebook contacts profile pictures to show up when sync'ing my contacts with the Facebook for Android app. It sync's the accounts okay because I can still view a contact and it will have a link to their Facebook profile, however it's no longer sync'ing the pictures anymore.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Facebook app and then sync'ing contacts again but it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any idea why that might be? Cheers.
i did had this issue.... i removed the facebook account from social hub & the facebbok app itself..
Settings -> accounts and sync -> then clicking on the account and removing them.
Then first added facebook to social hub...synced it...then pictures were back...then i had to again log on to facebook app...and synced again (this is just to attach the contacts) so that the app can be lauched from contacts itself.

I don't have Social Hub, I froze it in Titanium Backup and it seems to have disappeared. Think I'm going to have to reset the phone.
Just try to delete and readd your Facebook.sync account. And then sync again. That worked for me. I never use the hubs

Cheers for the replies guys. I found out what the problem was, the ROM I had installed had the Facebook sync removed from it. Did a full wipe only to realize this afterwards, all sorted now though.
I just received my Atrix yesterday, and have been playing around with it for a while to see if I like MotoBlur enough to want it in a custom ROM.
I'm on orange stock 2.3.4 and have set up my MotoBlur account and Facebook account. Now the Facebook widget has connected successfully as I can send a status using the home-screen widget. However i cannot find how to link my contacts to there appropriate Facebook profiles to get contact pictures etc.
Am I missing an easy trick here - are they supposed to update automatically? Or do I need to link them?
Thanks,
I believe some contacts does link automatically (when name and email from google match the facebook record). If they are not, you will need to join contacts.
1) go to contacts, select the contact, "menu", Edit contact.
2) "menu", Join
3) select the contact you want to Join
4) "menu", Save
You also need to add Facebook account to your contact "app". And if you find that you have some contacts that are doubled up.. one facebook one not then you just join them as above

How do I 'add Facebook account to my contact "app" I can't find where i'm supposed to add contacts from Facebook in my contacts? I'm running GingerBlur 6.1 by the way.
Thanks for all your help!
Do you live in Dom. Rep? i live here and also got my atrix yesterday.. the facebook widget syncs perfectly over wifi... i still havnt unlocked the phone..
Nope, I'm in the UK. I think it must be a problem with the MotoBlur servers over here maybe? Not entirely sure, but I've tried three different ROMs and still no luck.
I also have the newer Facebook layout which may be affecting it?
It's not such a big deal now as I'm using FriendCaster to sync my contacts.
pull up your contacts press the menu button and go to accounts inside the accounts press menu again and add account ie facebook
you should see one more screen in between these two and add account option is at the bottom of that page
Thanks for all your help - I had already set up my Facebook account successfully as I could set a status using Blur. Was a strange problem, but all of a sudden it's decided to work and all of my contacts have now synced to my phone, and I'm receiving status updates from my contacts now instead of just links etc.
Maybe I just wasn't giving it long enough to sync properly - thought it'd do it within an hour, but I guess not... Thanks again!
Hi guys just got my samsung galaxy s3 so far its good phone .Just wondering I can not sync my facebook birthday in S planner though Facebook account is already added in S planner .please some one help me
I have the same issue, the facebook birthdays don't even show in the contacts. All i did was manually add the birthdays into my phones contacts and then joined them onto there facebook account, then they appear in the S-Planner.
How about adding Facebook Birthdays as a calendar in Google Calendar and then syncing it?
Friendcaster for Facebook will do this automatically for you, and it's probably a better/nicer looking app to use than the original fb app.
I tried friendcaster and no luck there either... the high res pics dont translate into the contacts list either from friendcaster.
Try haxsync! It also sync Contacts with high quality pics instead of the ****ty facebook pics

You can export your friends' birthdays from Facebook into many other programs such as Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar.
1.Select Events from the left side of your home page
2.From the events page, click on the magnifying glass icon and select Birthdays
3.From the birthdays page, click again on the magnifying glass icon and select Export Birthdays
4.Use the provided URL to export your friends' birthdays to your calendar

For some reason, the SGS3 doesn't sync facebook birthdays to the calendar but if you install Friendcaster, it will work. I read a post saying it didn't but I downloaded it anyway and it works. because it works with FB (i think) it somehow allows some or all notifications to sync. you must follow step by step instructions on the set up including logging into FB twice.
Hope this helps!
