This is the absolute best ROM for the Note.
I hate to even bring up any of my problems, but my phone is not letting me sync my contacts with my facebook contacts.
Maybe I'm just dumb... however, I really need help! Can anyone give me step by step instructions to resolve this issue?

Thx for following up on your own question. I have been looking for a solution for the same problem for weeks. Just havent searched in the right forums.
The latest LPB rom has fixed the Facebook sync, you don't need anything from the market now.

I recently bought a vibrant from a friend of mine as a spare phone and I rooted it. The wife grabbed the vibrant and used it one day. she was messing around with the ROM toolbox app and then it started force closing. I don't know what she did but every 30 seconds or so it gives a prompt that says, "process Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly". does anyone know what this means, or what I can do to fix it?

As i remember it, it had something to do with contacts sync error. Go to all apps and force stop google framework services and then force stop contacts, gmail and clear data. Do it a couple of times. Reboot and let everything sync again and hopefully it should be ok.

It has something to do with the contacts synching from what i recall.
1. Uninstall the facebook app if you have it installed.
2. Go to app manager: settings>applications>all>contacts storage>clear data
After this you can install the facebook app if it was installed.
I tried both solutions. Its still doing it, just not as often.

You might Also want to clear data from contacts storage after clearing contacts data. It will probably delete all your contacts, sms and call logs so backup etc.
I did a factory reset and force stopped/cleared data on anything that had to do with syncing contacts. I thinks its fixed! I'll post later to make sue though. I don't want to speak too soon. Thanx guys! Your help is greatly appreciated!

...well its at it again. My success was short lived. Could the wife have deleted something that may be causing this?

What rom are you using? Try a no wipe reflash
I didn't even think of flashing a rom. I flashed an ics rom and now it works fine. I'd still like to have a stock vibrant rom on hand just for the heck of it though. I really appreciate everyone's help on this. If anybody knows where I could find a stock t959 from let me know.

if you're on ics now and you want a stock rom you should odin first...you will be on stock 2.1...after that you can use kies mini to update your phone to the latest samsung official firmware which is 2.2
Err never ever use kies under any circumstance. Its a recipe for a brick. Read the sticky in this forum. Plenty of links for roms.

When my phone was doing this, it was not a contacts synch error, but a Calendar synch error. I had to clear my calendar data, export my Google calendar and re-import it, and re-do my Google account login in order to get it to stop. From my investigation, it could be any of the Google synch services.
Do a Google search for the error and one of the first responses will be an XDA thread about how to fix the error.
Thanx, I'm gonna try this tonite.

So I hate the stock messaging app. So I went with GO SMS PRO! I love the app. So many useful options! But I am having one small issue. How do I get Facebook photos to show up? In my contacts list they are all merged and it worked with the stock messaging app. Any idea? I have been using it for about a week now and I have yet to figure it out. Minor? Yes! But still very annoying!
Thanks for any advice!
Not one person? Hmm...

Thanks! I will try it tonight. I am guessing you have used this before?
I'm having the same issue with Go SMS...i think its a bug. If we use another program to sync, it will work..but the matching schemes may be different.
fb photos
it has something to do with ICS not sharing different 'account' information or something like that.
There are a few apps, like the one listed above, that pulls in your facebook photos, stores it locally, and assigns those pictures to your contacts list.
There are settings to specify how often you want it to sync photos, whether you want to do it over WiFi only or not, etc.
I have mine set to every 4 days, and only when i'm on WiFi.
Only 'problem' is that it will create duplicate contacts, and then merge those contacts with the ones you currently have on your phone. Just something to know. (at least mine does this)
export contacts out to sd card/sim w/e and import back to gmail
still probably going to have duplicate contacts, if i remember correctly thats how i worked around it.
annoying is hell..thats all I have to say.

YES this did work! Thanks a lot for the post! Sorry it took me so long to try this out.
I just switched from sense to AOSP and I love everything except the facebook syncing. I miss how on sense it just did it.
Now there is no way to get my facebook friends' phone numbers. What can I do?
Thanks!
This may help idk. I don't use Facebook but I stumbled across this thread.

I have two different gmail accounts. One of them (not my main one) syncs contacts fine by the main account doesn't sync them at all. I keep getting an error, and have had the error since I bought the phone. Anyone know whats up?
Also, I can add any team I want to google now except the Lakers. Everytime I add them, they show up in the list of teams, then I close the page, come back to it, and the team is gone. Anyone know why?
Thanks!
Couldn't say I've experienced this. As far as the Google account that won't sync, have you changed the password and forget to update it on ur phone?
As far as Google now, try clearing cache and date. Start from scratch and see if that helps. Sorry I don't have any solution that would just solve ur problems. Best thing till someone comes out with a sure solution is trouble shoot. Let us know what happens!

Also, do u use facebook and sync ur contacts? I've heard that can be causing issues. I recommend first removing facebook, the export ur contacts to external storage, going into it apps and clearing data under contact storage then importing all ur contacts. I highly recommend removing facebook before anything else. If its not facebook but u have other applications that sync contacts, uncheck contact sync and proceed with clearing contact storage, then import contacts and resync. Try that out and let us know

Ok. Then skip those steps about other apps that sync and try the export and clearing data.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I'm afraid of doing this because I have contacts in my phone that are new that aren't synced yet. Will this get rid of them?
That's why u export ur contacts first
Go into ur contact list and tap menu. Then export, when it asks u where, send it to sd card/external memory. Unsync ur Google accounts from contacts so it doesn't effect it and then clear it. You'll have a back up on ur other Google account and have a vcf file in ur device storage

i just did that and its still not syncing the contacts. Similarly, its not syncing the internet.
