[Q] Adding FB acct on Samsung Vibrant on CM9 - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have recently flashed CM9 on my Vibrant using the nightly dated 4-7-12. Tried to reply to a post about this over there but, even though I've flashed ROMS since TW a year an a half ago, I'm not experienced enough to post to the DEV forums... whatever. I can't add a facebook acct (under acct settings). Anyone else have this issue?

Yes. It's actually an issue with the Facebook app itself. It hasn't been updated to completely support ICS yet. There are other ICS rome that have a fix built in for it, but CM9 does not.

Actually facebook no longer wants to support that feature for ics. only roms that have it built in will work. Friendcaster allows you to sync your facebook friends list with your contacts though

Samsung Email app without security

Hi all
Been using various Roms on my sgs2 and currently using the excellent TheGingerMod rom.
One thing I have been looking for is the samsung stock email app (for using a Exchange email account for work) but without the security administrator functions activated, im not keen on my work having full access to my handset and even the remote wipe!
I've tried a couple of email apk's listed in the Apps & Themes section but can't find one that fully stops my work having access to remote wipe and other security functions.. Perhaps its not possible?
One I currently use is ok (gingerbread email) from gauner1986 but I miss being able to move emsils to my folders etc, which samsung does very well!
I found another email apk which was posted as being a modified samsung version but couldn't run it..simply crashed each time I ran it...
Anyone help on this please?... Love this community and all you dev's are simply brilliant at what you do!
Cheers
Mistxx

Honestly facebook is the worst app for any platform. I am seriously concidering un installing it from every device i own, and just using the browser.
Thank christ! I was about to commit a sin and make a new thread about this!
I was thinking that it was simply my fingers!
This is really annoying.
Is Facebook for Android coded by Facebook or by Google?

Hotmail syncing issues on new ROMs

Several people have had issues getting Hotmail to sync correctly when set up as an alexchange account. Personally I have tried it using the Activesync option and setting everything manually as well as choosing the option specifically for Hotmail which has default settings built in with no luck on either.
This seems to be happening with some of the newer custom ROMs for others as well. I can get it to work on stock and Fresh 5.1.1 with no problems. I've tested it with MeanROM and ClassicJewel and can't get it to work.
Is it possible that a memory tweak or removed apk is preventing it from working correctly?
Edit: Hotmail is also apparently working okay on Charmeleon and Flex360 without issue.

I'm on Viper and I ended up dumping the built in email client for Hotmail and installed the Hotmail app in the Play Store. Haven't had any issues with receiving email with the Hotmail app.
I am stock and hotmail is being flaky, with both the hotmail option and the active sync option

I thought I was the only one with this issue. I don't have a custom ROM but I am rooted. My hotmail has only synced twice in the past 5 days.

I would say maybe it is a Hotmail server issue but it works okay on some ROMs and with a 3rd party email app (Enhanced Email)

[Q] Is anyone else having issues with Facebook Calendar sync?

It displays "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It'll be back shortly." and when I check it it's Facebook Calendar with the exclamation mark.
It doesn't sync since July 5th, which is when I got the ICS/Sense 3.6 update.
I noticed Facebook for HTC Sense isn't displayed in the Accounts & Sync list anymore since that update, is that normal?
Yes, I'm in mean rom latest ics, i just disabled it

My phone has just disconnected by itself from Facebook right now saying "authentication failed" and when I logged in back the calendar sync is back working. It looks like removing the account and re-adding it solved the issue.
I'm having this same issue, however removing the account and re-adding it does not solve the issue. Can anyone help?
MeanROM ICS v2.6 and stock kernel.
I'm having the same issues sometimes. I'm almost positive it's the pos Facebook app. That thing is straight garbage.

Facebook needs to get their act together on this. How come they are the only ones that can't seem to make an Android app run properly?
Mine is working fine since then...
As far as I know, Facebook calendar sync doesn't come from the official app. It's (Facebook for) HTC Sense.
Maybe you could try to logout / remove on the phone, then go to Facebook website and remove the HTC Sense app from the app settings page, then login again on the phone.

Contacts Facebook on JB 10.1

Hello children. Uhhhmmm I recently flashed epinters 10.1. Actually this is the first time flash a custom rom. I just wanna ask about my facebook contacts.

Thats because this isn't a blur rom.
I recall seeing contact sync on android apps section.
EDIT: I cant fimd it, but you could also try in the playstore, there seems to be several apps that do what you need
