So I was thinking that the contacts picture feature is really under used in most phones. I was wondering if there was a possibility of having an app that would sync contact photos with their profile pictures on facebook. You could sync by name or phone # if your friends have put their cell #s on their profile.
Also as a side note to that it would be nice to have a better facebook application something similar to the Iphone's app where you are able to use facebook chat aswell as see notification popups and such.

/me looks to see if he's on candid camera.
1) Open Market.
2) Search for "facebook"
3) Install app named "Facebook Contact Sync" (Syncs facebook photos to contacts)
4) Install app named "fbook" (general facebook app, no chat)
5) Install app Named "Meebo" (Supports facebook chat)
why cant there just be an all in one facebook app with chat. Why do i have to use 2 programs to do the job of one app that was already developed for the iphone and which im sure can be developed for the g1.
Sorry sir I'll get right on that.

Well from what i have read on this forum as well as off site, Developing a app for facebook with the abilities of the one for the iphone is virtually impossible at this time.
See, google and myspace are together and microsoft and facebook are together. and with apple, that app has access to the API's within facebook to easily sync and access facebooks information. Google doesnt have that ability since them and microsoft are "enemies". Full functionality with a facebook app for the G1 or android in general is probably not going to happen for a little while unless someone finds a way to access all the information on facebook.
i kinda of have an idea but i am not exactly sure if it would work

Are you the creator of the facebook app?
Bhogan123 I dont really think that that is entirely true though. There are many other programs that have integrated features with facebook. I dont think they are exclusively contracted with any company.
Fbook.
Does anyone of you have the last version of Fbook? Or any older one that is not current. I hate the new one, it won't let me upload photos!
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried emailing the dev and informing him of this issue?
I was being stupid. My album was full, it wasn't the application.
I just use iphone.facebook.com as a bookmark... the app just links you to the page anyways and I find it more stable than the app at times.
fBook application not in Market?
A friend just got the G1 this week. He is looking for the fBook application but cannot find it on the market. If he searches for "fBook" it does not come up. When he looks at the applications by popularity list, it is not there. I sent him the cyrtek barcode link and the market cannot find it: "There are no matches in Android Market for the searchname:com.nextmobileweb.fbook"
I can see it just fine on the market, I can search for it and find it, and the Cyrtek Barcode URL works as well. I do have the apk and I am waiting for him to get home to install it by "hand".
My question is, what could be the reason he does not see it? I do not yet know his firmware version and he is not the "rooting" kind. I assume (shame on me) that if he got the phone this week it should be at least on the RC 33 version, yes?
wergeld
Search typing facebook, i downloaded today...
Depending on when his supplier got the phone, it may still be on RC30. You should ensure that he's on RC33 at least, if for no other reason than he'll be ready for the OTA update push that's now occuring.
Because the market also works on SDK, if he is on the Android 1.0 SDK, he will not see any 1.1 or 1.5 applications, just as users on the 1.5 SDK will not see any 1.1 or older applications on the market either.
FBook?
EDIT: Apparently its still in the market...
Can someone confirm?
Im runnin ADP 1.5, and Im not really believing that it runs off SDK thing because I just re-rooted my new phone coming from another phone with 1.5 on it. I was able to download it on that phone fine.
I just did a fresh install of jf 1.5 adp, and can no longer find fbook in the market. I had this exact same rom installed previously, and was able to locate it with no difficulties. Seems strange...
I can't find it either and I'm on the new 1.5 official update.
Cyrket.com doesnt even have it listed under the "Social" section for any of the SDK numbers.
Maybe they're fixing it??
This is strange....
I can confirm its been pulled from the market. I just reflashed this morning and could not find the app. So I check my store demos just in case it was blocked. None of my G1s can find it in the market. I miss this app, if someone could upload the apk please, that would be awesome.

When is there going to be either:
An official Picasa app
Or a legitimate 3rd party app
This is Google after all, strange that one of their premier (imo) apps simply doesn't exist on a Google phone.

I agree... it should include Geo-Taggin as well! i mean its on the phone on Hero rom so why not include in app like FootPrints have?
When the G1 first came out a company called Multiple Facets released an app called Pictorial that connected to your Picasa Web account. It looks like this app was retired as I can not find an updated version anymore, luckily I kept this app when I made a backup using AppManager. You would have to log in to your Picasa account and you would be able to see all of your web albums and albums of friends. You could download pictures as well. It's not the most beautiful app but still works well on 1.5. I've included it in this post as an attachment. Hope this helps and is what you're looking for.

you can upload to picasaweb natively from the gallery. Do you want a full image editor?

Hi,

Hello,
You used to have an app named Pictorial for the Android platform that
is no longer available on the Android Market. Are you ever planning
on re-releasing it? Pictorial is the best way to view Picasa web
albums and would love to see an updated version.

The problem I have is viewing, not uploading. I've got a new baby and my wife loves Picasa for managing the picture and uploading them. The problem is that the web interfiace for Picasa on the G1, at least last I checked, will only show the first 100 pictures in an album. This will show them all.
Pictorial will show all pictures sorted by gallery. I have 4 galleries on my Picasa account and my fiancee has 6 galleries under hers and I can view them all with Pictorial. You can also download and save pictures.
Hey guys!
I'm running the new froyo (rel:11 themed) and I am still having the same problem I have always had with android. On a real android phone one would go to settings> accounts and sync> add account> facebook. This would add my facebook contacts and should technically sync the profile pictures of my current contacts. The problem is when I click on "facebook", it just kicks me back to the main accounts and sync page. I really just want to update my current contacts with their current facebook pics. I know there are apps for it, but they are all pretty bad. Plus I should be able to just do it on my phone without any other apps. Let me know what the deal is and if you guys have have any suggestions.
Thanks
no one knows why?
people probably know why, they have probably answered it atleast a few times
the forum search is a beautiful thing.
if its anything like it was in eclair for some reason facebook only likes to sync with a certain phone (i think its the Dream). something needs to be changed for it to work K_K did this in his eclair build i dont think anybody has in Froyo yet
FYI
This may have already been posted but the new facebook app in the market will sync correctly with Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2.
Can't remember where, but I know I saw it in the XDA Developers forums.
Risk about sync with facebook is your contact database gets huge.
Some people have reported sizes of 50+MB for contacts, because of pictures, etc.
You might not want to do that... just stick with the google contacts.
i notice that it runs without any problems in cyanogen, but fresh froyo is still missing this feature, even after installing latest facebook 1.3.2! you can select adding a facebook account, but nothing will happen. and the possibility to sync after installing facebook and setting it up, is missing too. any ideas anyone?
already checked the forum and searches... no solution helped (clearing app-cache,e.g.)

Get the Google apps zip in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722801
Then try adding the GooglePartnerSetup.apk to the install archive (use 7-zip) and reinstall.
No idea if it works but Fresh Froyo doesn't have all the Google Apps apk's unlike the CyanogenMod port and that one sounds like it could have something to do with it.
...starting! will post results...
used the latest un-odexed fresh froyo and added googlepartnersetup.apk... didnt do the trick. next step: adding all the google apps 2 see, if there is anything working then.
not working either... so its not depending on one of googles apks from that package.
Any luck with this? Having the same problem.
have you got the latest Facebook app from the market. It was suppose to fix the issue
yep, latest facebook doent do the trick either... no solution found yet!
I am trying to install it via the Market online and the G-tablet is not listed as being compatible with it.
Dled it last night love it runs like a charm on vegan rom
I don't see the tablet edition available...All i get is the phone version in market...
I have searched google for an apk file and no one has one. The tablet version isnt in the android market even after being fixed and the online android market doesnt support vegan so i conclude we cant get it yet
I just grabbed it from the market, and it worked fine. I did get a message that it was for the galaxy tab.
I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.

My market will only see the phone edition of the app.
Can anyone pull the tablet edition apk and post it for download?

Same here.
APK would be greatly appreciated. Really looking forward to seeing some tablet optimized apps on the gTab
I just found it in the market. I am using vegan-tab. In settings, applications...clear cache AND data for Market, then force stop. Then clear data and force stop Google Services Framework. Reboot, accept terms of services in market, and you should find it. I just did this and it worked. The key is to also clear Market data. Hope this helps!
I found it but it says my device is not compatible. I did however able if I want to download the phone version.
Does it display in landscape? Is it free or just one free issue?
It displays in portrait only, but I think the layout is great. The app is free but the subscription is not. I get the issues in the app for free because I have a print subscription, but I believe you can also pay for a digital only subscription (don't know how much that costs).
Same issues here - can't find it in the market and can't find an apk on the web. If anyone could post the apk it would be much appreciated. I have a print subscription that gets recycled every week - the landfills are crying!
Don't really feel like uploading it anywhere, but feel free to pm me your email if anyone wants it. Backed it up with astro.
+1 for not linking the apk. Last thing anyone needs (XDA included) is the ire of sports illustrated. If you take your time you can find it on teh intertubes.

I searched xda and the googleverse but can't seem to find this exact problem.
On my device, I have the new market running, and I can search, find, and pull up the Google+ app. Hooray! Except one thing: there is no option to download. The screenshots butt up to the top of the app's page, and there is no download, just screens and information...
Weird... so I tried the web-based marketplace... and it says my device is not compatible?
The nitty gritty:
Sprint Galaxy Tab
ROOTED Gingerbread, 2.3.4
And also, I am currently in Costa Rica, which I think may be the culprit (keep reading)
What I don't get is it seems that when an app is not available in your country, it should not appear in the Marketplace App on your device.
Secondly, what determines "my country"? Everything I have in that device points to Texas, everything except my current gps / internet wifi location.
What I don't understand too is why a week or two ago I downloaded it just fine (but I didnt have an invite yet so I uninstalled) and now, the download link is mysteriously gone...
SOLUTION? Yes, I simply found the latest apk and installed. What's interesting now is that in the marketplace I now have the option to open Google+, but not upgrade or uninstall...
I know I can simply keep finding and installing apk updates, but this is a pain in the butt... I want to update via the market!
So any thoughts as to why this app isn't playing nicely?!
Thanks for the input!

So it seems as long as I restart my phone and do not apply any lcd density settings+ I can update and download google.plus no problem, but if I boot into / change the density, it dissappears... weird. If anyone else has this problem, know you know!

Thanks to the developer who created this. Its kind of like AppBrain was on Android.
Log in, it pulls info from WindowsPhone.com for your app history and gives you an easy way to reinstall the ones you want. Unfortunately it doesn't automatically install them as its a limitation of api's I believe, but its a lot easier than sending them each to your phone, or going through one at a time in the market.
This will be useful until full/real backups of the phone are done into skydrive (if the rumors are true for Apollo).

I just installed it. I look forward to using this application when the time comes. Just to clarify - when I get a new phone or have to restore this information on the phone I reset - I first have to install this application? Or can I do this through my windows live and zune connection?

Well, to use the application to re install your other apps you'll need to install it somehow; be it from zune, the web, or on the phone.
Once its installed it just scans your history list from windowsphone.com once you give it access, and you can select which ones (or all) that you want to install. It jumps you into each one in the market for installation, but its much quicker than going through them one at a time on the web, or searching manually through the market.
The app is pretty useful. Of course, it would have been much more useful if certain limits have not been there, but we should blame Microsoft for that. Written about it on my site here
I'm excited for a 'check list' approach to installing apps. I have TONS and I constantly miss some of my paid apps when I'm reinstalling.
Thank you!!!
Good stuff. Just installed this app and setting it up as I type this
I'm liking the WP more than Android's ICS so far; more simple and clean overall in my opinion. Only thing missing from my Lumia 710 is hot spot capability.
Sweet app, exactly what I'm looking for
If you take a look at other apps on iOS which helps to install apps when they go free, they come with a Inbuilt system which lets users add the apps which are installed using it. That way users can track what they have or not.
I will suggest you to create something like this or let users mark which are already installed so you can make a better filter.
Need Help!
I installed this app on my previous rom on HD2 and ive re-flashed to this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833 and re-intalled your app and now it cannot find any apps on my account? It found over 600 apps on previous rom! I'll try un-installing and re-installing it to see if that helps. Can anyone give me some help. Thanks in advance.
Nevermind I'm just too impatient All I had to to is restart my phone
Nice and good app. A great feature is that it allows you to select which ones you need and which ones you don't. That's good because after a reset, you always want to start with a fresh small set
