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.

Anyone please can download gmail app and share it here. i would really appreciate it.
found this thread after a search, and i've got the same problem
my phone is recognised as a samsung i8000 (i think), and even though i've got the google app, when i press the gmail link it takes me to the desktop site, which isn't ideal as the mobile version is simpler and much quicker (seen it on a stock rom)

There are a few apps I had downloaded back in June on ky EVO that are no longer in the market. I tried searching through Google for them and every link sends me to the market one way or another. Is there any way to get these again?

Are you rooted with a custom ROM by any chance?
Negative.............
Anyone........
If you still have the EVO, connect up to WiFi and go to market and download the app file manager (grey folder icon) and use its app back up area and back up the apps you want to there .apk format, and email them to your self..open app attachments from new phone and there you have it.

Or instead of emailing them to yourself you could download dropbox on both devices and download the apps to and from there. Also its free. I've had trouble with files being to large to make it out of my corporate server.

What if I want to install wizardsetup.apk .. I have rooted the phone and remove the wizardsetup.apk and now my fav calling wont work. I would be able to add to fav but it doesnt show up. Dont know if there is another app from the market that could replace it. Pls advise on what to do.. Where i can download the wizardsetup.apk or another app that would be comparable

Let this be a lesson, you should not delete system files that you are not sure what they are for. Either add a .bak to the file name or save it to your computer first. Anyways pm me your email address and I will help you out.
Thank you..........
I tried to download facebook ( it might have been a facebook widget) but it told me my phone is not compatible with this app. I couldnt even download it from the market
Is there a way to fool the market that I have a phone and not a nook tablet?
I download facebook app to phone then used root explorer and copied from /data/apps to dropbox

That sounds like a great idea. If only I didn't own an iPhone. Lol. Can anyone send me the apk please? Or is there a way to trick the market that I have a cellphone instead of a Nook?
