Recently I flash Hero firmware to my little HTC G1, and found the social network integration to be very cool.
But the problem is Hero firmware is so slow so I have to revert back Cyanogen firmware, but I really miss the fact that Sense UI can update my Google Contact with Facebook Contact photo.
A quick search around lead me to this website:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/10/synchronizing-google-and-facebook.html
This tool is very cool but the problem is almost all my Google Contact names are not match with Facebook Contact names. So I decided to pull my own base on Koushik tool (thank you very much ).
After a few days of coding, this is the first release of Google Contact Sync. As of right now it will allow you to manually sync Facebook Contact photo to Google Contact, and allow you to “link” 2 contacts so you can automatically update all Google Contacts later.
This software is provided free of charge. Make sure to link back here if you post GCS anywhere else .
NOTE: Some contact’s photos can’t be synced because owners modify their privacy settings. I can’t do anything about it so stop asking me .
If anyone concerns about privacy, you can build your own version of GCS from source code.
Facebook application: Google Contact Sync
All versions: Download
If you think this little tool worth something, you can consider buy me some beers for my Apple Developer Program license :
For error report please attach log.txt which can be found at application directory.
changes log:
v1.0.1:
- better error handling
- add file logging.
v1.1:
- fix bugs here and there
- fix an obvious bug that any note insert after <sn></sn> in Google Contact will be removed after sync.
- more streamlined user interface. Now GCS is dead simple to use .
v1.2:
- fix bugs
- add back Koushik’s Auto Match funtion
- threaded, so it will be much more responsive
- call it feature finished !
v1.3:
-fix bugs
-facebook photo preview
-now synced photos are automatically crop to the center. No more stretched contact photo !
-add link to GCS’s facebook application page
v1.3.1:
-fix bugs
v1.3.2:
-fix bug for people who has more than 200 “links” between Gmail and Facebook
Note: Beware of bugs
I look forward to trying this when I get to my pc
Doesn't work for me...when I enter my Gmail info and hit enter, I get an unhandled exception error

Please read the readme included. You enter your gmail info and CLICK on login button. Sorry but I don't have much time fine tuning those stuff
Probably a dumb question... but does this just sync our Gmail contacts with our Facebook contacts, which then eventually sync to our phones? Does it just have to be run occasionally to keep the pics up to date?
Thanks for this software man...
I wanna try it... but... "The server at heartofangel.com is taking too long to respond".

@uansari1:
Yes you need to fire up the tool now and then and click Sync All to get all latest Facebook photos. Maybe I will try to make an Android version of this tool sometime next month as it will be much more useful
Just a head up notice that the site is back online now
There used to be an free app in the marketplace called facebook sync that does the same thing, here is the apk.
or a directlink to the file here:
http://fbsync.plan99.net/FacebookSync-2.2.apk
and a cached copy of the site (the original site seems to be experiencing difficulties):
http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cach...fbsync&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari
I believe the code is here (not certain though):

I know this one, too but faced the same problem when trying it: almost all of my contacts doesn't match Facebook Contact names. That's why I wrote this one instead.
btw, anyone knows why FBSync faces trademark infringement?
Apologies if I've missed it, but :
Can you select which contacts to sync pictures, and which to skip, or does it just sync all of them?
Some people obviously use a FB profile pic of something other than themselves, a baby, pet or amusing image of a potato that looks like male genitalia, for example.
I think I read somewhere Facebook ban the use of FB, and such from third party app names.

Another version coming up with better error handling and logging.
Please check first post for updated version and changes log
Thanks mate
Does anyone know where these images get stored? On the SD card or on the phone itself? Possible memory hog?
Sorry for the absent guys, I was really busy with my real life and work recently. I'm back and trying to iron out all the obvious bugs in current version.
Possible changes:
- Much more stable release
- User interface tuning a little bit.
- New feature to show selected contact's picture so you don't have to open browser to see for yourself
- Fix an obvious bug that any note insert after <sn></sn> in Google Contact will be removed after sync.
Near future features:
- Syncing other information fields like birthday and such.
@Dr J : You can choose which pair of contacts to sync, so yes
@deepside 7: it's stored on the phone itself. I don't think it will be a memory hog as I doubt that Google developer cache all the contact picture in memory rather than load it on demand
Seems awesome, thanks for this! Will try it out later tonight .

Fim is a Facebook chat application for Windows Phone 7 that gives you a simple way to instant message with your online Facebook friends.
Fim does not require 3rd party registration or 3rd party access to your personal data.
Tips:
* If login fails and you have non English letters in your password, change it to English letters and numbers only
* Touch and Hold (aka context menu) on a conversation to clear chat windows/close permanently/copy paste messages/open profile/pin user tile to start menu
* Disable the "view previous conversations" option for faster login & less data consuming, you can load manually for each conversation in its context menu
* Scroll the login screen to see all preferences / activate push
* In case you didn't know: currently wp7 apps doesn't run in the background, so unless you activated push notifications for fim, its impossible to stay online if you are navigating to the start menu or to another app. It is possible though to stay in when the device is locked, in order to achieve this, you need to check "Run Under a Locked Screen" in settings
Push notifications guidelines for Fim
* Notifications will only be enabled after a successful login in the app itself, please allow ~20 seconds for notifications to activate before leaving the app.
* If "Tile Notifications" is enabled, don't forget to "pin to start" Fim
* Keep in mind that notifications might not be available at all times
* There is a limit of chat messages that will be pushed, it will reset after re-login using the app itself
* There is a limit of time that the notifications server will hold your session, please sign-in using the app itself every couple of hours
* Make sure you have approved Fim as a facebook app (browsing http://app.mosko.mobi should read "Success")
* If you have never managed to receive notifications on behalf of Fim, or had both side-load xap & Marketplace version installed on your phone, try to remove the end points entries from your phone's registry (search the forum for this procedure) or "factory reset" your phone.
Questions / comments / bug reports are welcome.
* please post on this thread, and not on a private message
* report any error messages you got from the software
* when reporting first check if your question hasn't been asked or your bug hasn't been reported yet.
* make sure you have installed the latest FIM version available on the Marketplace
* don't forget to mention your type of device, os/rom version and type of internet connection used.

Using now, great to have you on the Marketplace, and an official one at that... Glad if anybody was going to be first, it was going to be you guys...
Works quite nice, good work keep it up:d
Only thing so far that I would recommend would be, once I wake from sleep, to show a "Resuming..." screen like other apps, and continue to leave me signed in, or sign me in again...
I dont see this app from my HD7 marketplace. I am from France

Yea, just gotta override the Application_Activated/Deactivated events in App.cs. Pretty easy.
Anyway, I like it. What it does, it does well. Looking forward to more features. The autocorrect keyboard (InputScope="Text") and the ability to close conversations would be high on my list.

Full version
Lite(free) version
This seems to be pretty, pretty cool.
Nonetheless, 4,99 ?
I've purchased this app and I really like it. It does exactly what it says. I'm pretty much gone paperless as far as receipts go. Being able to do multiple pages and crop images as a huge plus for me.
I would buy again, but I would recommend the following:
- be able to create folders and organize your scans.
- be able to sync with skydrive. I don't think there is an official API for this but there may be some possibilities here: http://skydriveapiclient.codeplex.com/
I also purchased it on its early days. Today it has improved a lot. The image optimization feature added recently just makes it perfect
Updated to 2.5 and incorporated a lite/free version.
Limitations:
- Cannot send via email directly from the app
- Cannot convert to PDF
- Images saved to media hub have a small watermark at the bottom
- Has Ads
Details at http://jdbp.mobi/handyscan
nice app, purchased on day-1. Glad to see it's being updated/improved. One of the "must have" apps for any device.
Great we have a free version now!
just bought it because of the nice ad graphic you have in your first post
Thanks so much! can't wait to try it.
it can come in handy...

Thanks! It's an excellent app which has loads of applications. I use it daily.

Great app you need to update the app page
You misspelled cloud and put coud....
Hey, pckshd, thanks, nice app!
BTW, how about adding some OCR? I know (I'm developer) it's not easy (especially on device, and from the scratch) but... You may use some free/cheap online (let say fancy cloud ) services for that. What do you think? Also, good business card reading option will be helpful (card readers, currently available on marketplace, just awful)
P.S. Try this: http://snipt.org/lOgh/
Sounds good. Let it have some voting so we can prioritize depending on demand: http://reach.jdbpocketware.com/forum/8878-handyscan/

Name: NewsSpot
Sync your articles as quick as a wink, store text and images for offline reading and search your articles in a gorgeous metro style way.
This is NewsSpot, a full-featured Google Reader client for Windows Phone: Its advanced sync-engine delivers a two-way sync for your unread and starred articles, which only syncs what needs to be synced. Already stored hundreds of starred articles? NewsSpot will download them once and never again. It caches articles as well as images for later offline reading.
Ever wanted to search your starred articles? Ever been interested in a specific topic of your reading-list? No problem with NewsSpot. Just tap the search button and enter your keywords, it will instantly filter your current list to what you've searched.
Together with Windows Phone Mango, NewsSpot now offers live tiles and toast notifications. For example, you can pin secondary live tiles to your start screen showing the count of your folders. Of course, live tiles can be updated per background task.
Other features include:
- Bookmark your article in Instapaper or ReadItLater or send a link per Email
- Mango only: share your article via Twitter, Facebook, Windows Live etc.
- Mango only: benefit from compressed web communication and save up to 80% of your data plan
- Open YouTube or Marketplace links from within the application
- Read articles in full or mobilized view, supported by Google or Instapaper
I've just released v2.0 of the app, which takes advantage of a lot of Mango features. Here is a list of things that are new in v2.0:
- Compatible with Windows Phone Mango
- Share article via builtin phone services
- Application live tile can show unread, starred and shared count
- Secondary live tiles with folder count
- Background task with toast notification and update of tiles
- Adjusted trial limits, added advertising
- Added support for gzipped communication
- Further improved sync speed
- Uses system progress indicator
- Added what's new to about page
- Added flip animation to folder tiles
- Changed icons so that they stick to the system theme
- Lots of minor changes and bug fixes
There is an add-supported version which has all features with the sole restriction that it lets you sync at a max 200 unread and 50 starred articles. The full version supports up to 1000 unread or starred articles.
NewsSpot is a matter of the heart to me and I'm constantly trying to improve it. So if you find a bug, have a suggestion or any other feedback, don't hesitate to write here or contact me per pm or twitter (@fourspotproject).

Nice Work
Only got to try a few feed items with it so far, but I like what I'm seeing. Nice settings menu, very fast. I just wish it had the option to download read articles for a certain period of days (I frequently have to reference read articles within a day, but not so much after say, three), and a higher class icon to match up to the slickness inside the app and I'd say there's a new Google Reader app in my life.
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------
Ooh, one more thought. It might be nice to have an option to go ahead and automatically resync to the server after tapping to mark all as read, that way if I switch back to a desktop it already knows what I've seen.
@zedmartinez
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
Syncing and keeping read items: this is already on my list, though I think it will not make it to the next or after next version. Maybe I should re-schedule things
Application icon: Yeah, grafics are not my strength. I'll figure out something for that
Automatic sync: this one also is on my list. I think automatic sync after tapping mark all as read can be done quickly. What do you think of automatic sync after a certain amount of time (like 5 minutes or so). I think this would especially make sense in combination with a sort from oldest to newest. Then you can read articles from top and the new ones are automatically appended at the bottom.
Those sync options could work. I'm trying to think how Wonder Reader does it (currently my workhorse feed reader), I think it syncs everytime I go back to the all feeds list, or after marking all as read. I like the idea of the timeline-based syncing though, that's a neat idea.
Sorry to gripe about the logo I'm a graphics designer by trade, so, fussing over icons is sadly engrained in me. If you have too many problems or just would like the help, let me know what the parameters for tiles are and I'd gladly lend you some gratis help.
I keep being really pleased with the speed as I play with this. Excited for future updates, and you can expect a formal purchase as soon as I get paid this week.
So, just checked again: Wonder Reader has some kind of direct sync model, meaning the status of articles is synced as soon as you tap on it.
I'm pretty sure this could be done in NewsSpot, too, though these actions have to be tolerant to network failures. Added to my checklist.
Regarding the offer to help with the icon: You'll get a PM soon
Oh, I totally forgot to meantion that v2.1 is out since 11-10.
It was done in haste since Google changed the interface of its Reader, removing all social elements like sharing and replacing them with Google+.
I'm quite optimistic that the next update will add features instead of stripping them
Just downloaded to try out. If I like it, I'll be sure to buy it and rate it.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Ok. I've been playing with this a bit and seeing what it will/won't do. I like it.
I've noticed that it doesn't run in the background well, as in play well with multitasking.
Pretty much, I can open it up and read an article. Were I to press the home button or press an alert to answer an SMS, I can see NewsSpot in the open tasks list from the long press of the back button, but it attempts to resume then closes out back to either my home screen or another application running.
Also, I can press the globe button to open the mobilized version and then press back to return to the article. If, however, I choose the option to Browse in Internet Explorer, I cannot return to NewsSpot. It will attempt to resume and then crash to the home screen. I imagine this is the same issue as when trying to select it from the multitasking screen.
BTW, I decided to support you and pay.
@ anseio,
Thank you for your valuable feedback and your purchase.
Regarding that multitasking issue: I've got a lot of crash logs lately and as far is I've analyzed them, many arise from the advertising control, especially when the app is tombstoned/resumed. Its a known bug I unfortunately overlooked during development.
So let me ask you a question: since you bought the app, the advertising control disappears. Did these errors you mentioned went away, too?
Thanks for the info. Yes, I compiled this feedback after i upgraded.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
@ anseio,
Sorry to bother you, but I didn't get your answer. Does 'I compiled this feedback after I upgraded' mean that the errors remain?
Yes, it means that it still doesn't hibernate.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
It may have to do with the fact that I'm using the HTC hd2, not an official wp7 device.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Well, I'll check the logs. Maybe I can find something there. Did the app just crash or have you been asked to send a crash log? If not, you may also look into the settings. If there is a log not uploaded yet, you should have an additional entry called 'manage logs'.
Anyway, there are a couple of logs on my hd from Hd2 owners. Will check them this weekend.

I can't find anything in settings for managing logs. I wouldn't say that the software crashes. There's definitely no error. It's as if they close out in the middle of the "resuming" process.
For example. I'll open NewsSpot, go to an article, press home button, enter messaging and locate a message, long press "back" button, select NewsSpot... it will show "resuming", then go back to the messaging section within a few seconds. Another long press of the back button shows that there are no other apps in multitasking.
Just wanted to let you know that v2.2 was approved by Microsoft and should be online within a couple of hours.
Besides new artwork by zed martinez (thanks again ) you can now navigate from folders to your feeds. Furthermore read items can now be kept and synced.
@anseio:
I've found another couple of bugs related to tombstoning. Please tell me if the app now works better for you.
However, still I have no clue why the app crashes without a notification. The only reason I can think of is that the system runs out of RAM (and NewsSpot is actually rather demanding in terms of memory). Am I right that a HD2 has little less RAM than a HD7 (448 vs. 576MB)?
Name: Power Planner
This is a student homework planner for Windows Phone 7. I created it since there were no good homework apps on WP7 and I needed one, and I'm sure everyone else would love to use it too!
Power Planner has a unique feature where it automatically schedules reminders for you. At the end of your day (10 minutes after your last class), Power Planner sends you a reminder telling you what items you have due for tomorrow. Also, if you don't finish an assignment before it is due, Power Planner will remind you an hour before that class, telling you that you have incomplete items.
The app also has an excellent interface that makes adding assignments super fast. When adding homework assignments, you can simply press the "return" button on the keyboard to jump to the next box on the page. Also, Power Planner remembers your last selected class and due date, so you can quickly add multiple things to the same class faster than any other app.
And Power Planner now has an advanced grading system that allows you to use custom grade and GPA scales, weighted grades, classes with credits, etc!
And Power Planner has the best live tile! You can see when your next items are due without even opening the app!!
Tell me what you think of the demo video, and if you have any features you would like to see added to the app, list them here!

Will this be able to add the assignments as events in your calander? Specifically google calandar? I use that for most of my classes, and if it could integrate with that, then this app would be amazing!

I'll have to look into adding that. How exactly do you want them to be added to a calendar?
Homework assignments really dont have a certain time and duration... Just like your general to-do list doesn't have those things. Would you want it to add your assignments to the to-do section of Google? Or for it to generate actual calendar appointments??

I would love for it to add like a 1 hour time slot appointment at the time its due. Or have an option that if you pick a due time as well as date, it will add it as an appointment for that time, or as a todo for that date.

Looks like it's really simple to use the Google Calendar API. I'll definitely try it out. If I ever add it, I'll be sure to post here telling you I did!
EDIT: Hmm, I don't think the Calendar API works with Silverlight... so that could be tough to add in. I don't have the skills right now to figure that out (hell I'm just starting to learn Java, it's my freshman year at college hah). Maybe in the future.
Looks like a nice app. Waiting for it to hit marketplace.

Unfortunately, I noticed a few bugs right after I submitted it 5 days ago.... so I already fixed them but the update won't be live until probably 12/16.
The major bug is that the homework tip will keep on appearing, even though the user has already seen it. For now, you could make it disappear by adding a homework item, and then before closing the app, edit the homework item, and then the app should remember that you saw the tip! It's an issue with me forgetting to put the SaveChangesToDatabase after the user clicked OK to the tip... very simple fix.
If you come across that bug (or the bug where in the Add Notes section, if you multitask and return to the page, it becomes unusable), please don't rate the app down cause of them... because they're fixed! Thanks and I'm looking forward to your feedback!
New version will also bring the ability to set custom reminders for exam items! (paid version).
why don't you just provide the same version XAP here? This will help XDA community users to test the bugs in new version as well

Version 2.0 coming in a week!
I'll be releasing an update that should hit the marketplace in about a week, adding tons of new features!
Live Tile showing how many items are overdue, due today, or do tomorrow, or none
Splash screen
Extremely advanced grade/GPA system
Contextual "+" add button
And more!
The grading system will allow you to enter individual grades (like Test 1, Test 2, homework 1, etc) for each class. Then it will calculate your current grade. WP7 doesn't really have any apps that do this, so Power Planner is basically the first!
It also calculates your cumulative GPA.
The grade/GPA system is extremely customizable and accepts everything from honors/AP classes, custom grade scales, weighted grades, classes with credits, classes with no credits, classes with 0 credits, grade scales with the letter "E" instead of "F", etc!
The grading system is exclusive to the paid version though, since that took a TON of work to add. The live tile, however, is available to everyone.
Look forward to an update in about a week! And tell your friends about Power Planner if they have a Windows Phone, thanks!
I'm sure some kids are going to get killed by their teacher because they use their phone in class Thanks though

Thanks! I'm glad you find it useful and that you'll be taking advantage of the office hours/website feature. That's one of my favorites, since I usually throw away the class syllabus and can never find office hours lol.
Enjoy! If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions, you can find my email address in Power Planner's settings -> About page.
Update 2.0
Version 2.0 just hit the marketplace! New features include Live Tile, grading/GPA system, contextual "+" button for classes/exams, and more!

Sweet I'm glad you got the update already!
Backup uses Skydrive. When you enter your password and email, you're giving it directly to Microsoft and it never sees me. That's how the Skydrive API works. I also never see your backed up data, it's all stored on your Skydrive account.
Once you backup, you can go to your SkyDrive and you'll see your data in a folder called IsolatedDataStorage. You can actually open the text documents in there and view the raw data if you would like!

With the intention to simplify everyday navigation and enable users to keep themselves updated even if they are on a separate page/site (and hopefully save time for new and old users alike), we would like to present a new and innovative browser-based toolbar for PCs -
This Update of the Toolbar has been rechristened the Asylum Edition, after the famous rom of the same name, as we celebrate 1000 installs (633 Active Users) of our toolbar as of June 3rd, 2012.
May not be too many, but we certainly aren't de-motivated!

Please Note:
As is evident, there might be other issues too that are yet to crop up. We can only refine and improve upon them with increased participation from users.
Presently, the toolbar is relevant only for users navigating regularly to Galaxy Note forums and threads. (You may still download it to satisfy your hurt ego of not having one for your phone model )
The toolbar does not offer any new functionalities. Its purpose is to streamline and make more efficient the everyday user experience.
The links gathered and listed under the Essentials and ROMs section may very well be incomplete, or astonishingly missing more important ones. Please bring them to our notice (send a PM) and we will have them up in no time.
The toolbar might be least useful to you. Please help us by providing feedback as to what should be removed or added to better suit its purpose.
Last but not the least,
Special Thanks to
abhisahara for his wonderful support (and his infinite patience )
Jaagte Raho!!!!
If you like the work, please consider a small donation here
A special thank you to all developers for being patient while guiding users.
A Few Tips for those confused -
1. The Forums Menu in your toolbar generates Live feeds at intervals of 5 minutes, as and when threads are updated. Be sure that you are logged into your account at xda. By doing so, the toolbar will automatically update itself and display newer/updated threads that you haven't marked read.
2. The toolbar works the same way on IE, Firefox and Chrome (though I would recommend Chrome as it looks classy on it). In case you are on smaller screens, the toolbar may not fit the complete width. You can either see the other menu labels by clicking on the arrow key that appears on the extreme right or you could use the option to Shrink Toolbar.
Hope the toolbar is helpful. Do revert with your feedback to help improve.
Cheers!

I would like to know where the files are installed to so I can uninstall it from my machine. It doesn't register in the add/remove programs, and the location of any uninstaller is not obvious. Any help?
For the record the toolbar is very nice, I installed it to try it out and I like it, however it isn't of much use to me until we can change the device it is for and thus would like to remove it from my machine and not just from Chrome's list of toolbars.

The toolbar is uninstalled just like any other add-on.
For Chrome, just right-click on the toolbar icon (where you have rest of your add-on icons) and select remove.
thnx for making this mate..
i find it very usefull
I admit that it's a good idea, but it needs more work.
It is beatiful but it significantly slows down the loading of the pages.
So I unistalled it, a few minutes after I installed it.

well yes, i do admit it has its shortcomings.
primary reason for this is that I don't have access to the xda user database and hence had to rely on the session cookies for certain features. this is why the toolbar has to refresh itself each time you load a page.
edit: it slows down page loading. but not as significantly as you say
