Hi everyone
Installed BlackIce just now. My first AOSP ROM and its not half bad to be honest
However I am having this problem which I never had on Sense ROM's. In the dialer when I go to the contacts tab there are some duplicate contacts. It's because the Facebook profile of those people doesnt link to the Google Contact. They always used to merge into one contact in Sense ROM's.
I have the Facebook app set to Sync All like I did in Sense ROM's. No settings have been changed.
How can I fix this?
You will have to go into your individual contacts, press edit, press menu, and select join. That will allow you to manually link your contacts from Sim card, Facebook, twitter google etc. You will have to do it for each one.
It's not quite as easy as sense but it will take care of the duplicates.

For batch merging, go into People application, go into setting and choose remove duplicate. It will merge any of the contacts with exact same name.

I just flashed Cyanogen and so far it seems awesome, but is there an easy way to import people's facebook pictures to use for my contacts like sense has?
Also, is there a way to get sprint's visual voicemail working on it?

Scroll the the bottom of the first post in this thread. There you'll find the Sprint voice mail apk.

Thank you for that! Any ideas on the facebook?
Also, are there any other kernels besides snap that work with cyanogen? I can't seem to find a stable setup.
for facebook pictures: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.nloko.android.syncmypix
free app that works well
facebook and twitter are syncing with contacts in cm6 now, not sure about the contact pictures. i haven't really tested it out.
contacts sync works in cm6...works fine on mine. works the best if you do first and last names in your contacts, it makes it earier for the facebook program to match the contacts

Do you have facebook contacts appearing in your contacts, and linking with regular contacts?
If for some reason a contact is using a different image than facebook, open that contact and scroll to the area of the contact with the facebook data, if you click on the picture from facebook it will prompt you to use that image
Anyway to link contacts. Every time I use a CM Rom, I end up with 600 contacts most of them doubles. One being a FB contact and the other being the actual contact stored in the Google Cloud. I love the roms, but this is very upsetting.
Yes you can link your Facebook contacts. First go into your Facebook app, hit menu and you should be able to sync Facebook.contacts.
From there, go to your contacts, select a contact, hit menu to edit contact, and you should see an option to 'join' - this will let you link your contact to their Facebook profile. Also, after linking the contact, you can choose to use their Facebook photo or leave it on their default photo if you have one.assigned.

you can only do this in a sense rom. with cm6 and facebook you can only choose to sync all fb contacts or sync only existing contacts
Thanks man. That worked like a charm!
Does anyone know of a better contacts manager? Hopefully one that can show google groups. I would really like the ability to link my Facebook friends with my contacts, sort of like the way the HTC Sense and Moto Blur does it.
I don't know if there's one that does what you want, but there is "Contacts GroupU" that works with Groups, and "Star Contacts" that is more of a stock replacement. I use both.
I may not fully understand your question but you can add your facebook contacts through the contacts settings. I did it on accident and my contacts were flooded with everyone in my facebook friends. If that is what you are looking for, you do it through contacts}settings}display options.
If this isn't what you are, good luck.

The stock contacts can be linked with facebook and twitter, just sign in to the apps and there are options to sync your contacts. If they do not automatically sync you can manually link the contacts, contacts > edit contact > menu > join.
I do think sense did a better job of automatically matching contacts than the stock contacts app on Froyo, I had to manually link more contacts on the G2 than on the Mytouch Slide.
The default contacts does it.. But there is a app in the market "phonebook 2.0" you should check it out

hahahaha best joke ever
Contacts+
Contacts+ is fairly good contact manager.

Hi all,
Until now I was running a sense rom where I had all my contacts linked to their facebook profile so they all show their facebook pictures.
All my contacts are sync with google and so for all of them, if I look at them in gmail, there's a note like this :
<HTCData><Facebook>id:63xxx4/friendof:21xxx95</Facebook></HTCData>
Last week, I switched to a non-sense rom. When I synced my contacts from gmail to the stock android contact list, some of them displayed the facebook picture, and some of them did not, despite having the link showed above.
Also, when in gmail, if I look at my contacts, only some of them display the picture from htc sense, of course, these are the one which display a picture when I sync them with android. How come don't they all get the picture from sense?
Do you know why it works with only a few of them?
Is there a way I can have all my contacts display their facebook picture?
Thanks for your help, much appreciated
to sync contacts with fb on aosp rom, i think the contact has to have the exact same name in your contacts as there display name on fb
I'll try that mate and see if it works, thanks for the answer!
As said, the names have to be exact. If not, you can just edit the contact and 'join' them to the FB app...it's quite easy tbh
open contact -> press menu -> edit contact -> press menu -> join
I got my DHD 3 weeks ago and since then I have flashed more than 20 Roms.
In the end I decided to settle for CM7. However, this MOD lacks HTC Sense. Out of all the features Sense offers the only one I miss is Facebook for HTC sense. The reason for that is the very nice quality of pictures it links to your contacts. The Facebook for Android app didn't do it for me.
So my question is: Is there any replacement for FB for HTC sense which can be installed on CM7?
it's not the facebook for sense that sync with the phonebook, it's the htc sense itself ..
you dont need to login facebook for sense to sync (if you have htc sense based rom), if you have facebook for android , then htc sense will do the sync.
unfortunately, htc sense cant be integrate together with AOSP rom. but you still can merge contact. Once you merge your google account + facebook contact , you can have the facebook picture there.
here is the way to merge ..
open contact -> choose your phonebook friend -> menu -> edit contact -> menu -> join -> choose the facebook profile -> done

Thanks for the reply, but I think you might be wrong about one thing.
In sense ROMs when you go to the Accounts and Sync settings you have the choice between two facebook accounts: 1) Facebook (which is the Facebook for Android App) and 2) FB for HTC sense.
These two are not the same, but you can sign in with the same account for both of them. And when you try to link your contacts in the way you mentioned above, you get to choose between both accounts.
I have tested both apps, and there is a huge difference in the resolution of the pictures each app assigns to your contacts. The pictures Facebook for Android assigns to your contacts is very pixelated and look very stretched; while the other app downloads a nice quality of pics.
In other words, I know that you can use the Facebook for Android on AOSP ROMs, but this is not what I'm inquiring about. I would like to know if there is another app that can be used as a replacement for Facebook for HTC sense.
I've come across an App called SyncMyPix, have anyone tested it? Do you recommend it?
http://www.contapps.com does what you want. When I'm on CM7, I use contapps.
Heres my issue. In text messaging on Some Contacts it is showing their phone number next to their name. I want to disable that view but cant find a setting. It seems to be happening with the contacts that I have linked with Facebook (for HTC Sense) for the Facebook App I have the setting set to "Dont Sync". When I go into the "people" app I have Facebook for HTC Sense unchecked and only "Google" checked for the viewing options. I dont know why it does it for some of the contacts and not others. If anyone has info on how to disable this please post..
Thanks
