Hi,
I have have had the desire for a few weeks and my wife decided to get one to however the shop only had a Nexus One and I persuaded my wife to get it (because it is the same).
The one thing which I am struggling to do is get a way to get Facebook profile photos onto a widget that is like the People widget on the desire that pulls the Facebook photos across.
I can get the facebook photos into the contacts but cannot get them to show on a widget (tried People widget demo).
Any help before I start to consider dire options would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jazz
get a new wife.
Maybe switch your Desire for her Nexus One.

Root it, and flash the desire ROM.
She will then have a desire with a Nexus shell and internals...

As long as she doesn't depend on blue tooth, fine.
She needs bluetooth for work
Youre out of luck unless you switch phones :\
Earn brownie points and trade phones with her. ;-)
"Root" her and "flash" her. Let's hope that works damn well!
Some dragon/passion will work wonders on her

You can create a direct dial widget with stock android that will show whatever photo is in the contact. Long press home screen > Shortcut > Direct Dial
Also a program called syncmypix in market that will pull your facebook pics in for you.
Hi!
Is there any way to obtain Friend Stream for Azure Rom?
It'll require HTC proprietary framework stuff I imagine, so no. It ain't gonna happen.
If you use launcher pro (instead of ADW) then buy launcher pro plus and you'll get some extremely good widgets.
Alright, that seems like a good idea then!
Could you maybe point me in the right direction for some of them?
Many thanks!

Well launcher pro plus comes bundled with them.
As for standalone widgets you'll have to google for it.

you can sync with facebook in azure. just download the oficial facebook app, log in and its done. you can set it upp in "accounts". also longpress a contact, select "edit contact", press meny and then "join" if you wish to join a phone contact with a facebook one.
launcherpro will release a friendstream widget for plus users this week i think. well worth the money to buy the app. its far better than ADW imo.
dont u think i must have tried tht xcrew..it doesnt sync contacts for sure.. not even in the Neon Mod 0.21 m on currently
well thats all i didnt... on a freshly installed azure mod facebook contacts wont sync. All i did was install facebook and it apered in "settings/accounts and sync". In that menu i just checked "auto-sync" and my contacts automaticly synced with facebook. this was the first thing i did after a fresh install of azure. If i can sync, you guys must be able to, just gotta do the right things
to make sure we have the same facebook app, im using "facbook for android" version 1.3.2
EDIT: i have no idea why my post became two, and apparently i cant delete it.

ofc i had to join a coupple of contacts to. "contact list/longpress/edit contact/menu button/join". also you might make sure you actualy show your facebook contacts in the phonebook by checking out phonobook display settings.

In the days before our official Froyo release there are a couple things i would like to ask around here.
I know everyone wants a fix for the slower behaviour of the phone...
and all of us want a GPS-fix.
But there a few more things i would to see on our phone, and i'll start with posting what i am missing, and i really hope you all could follow my lead here and fill me in.
Things missing:
-music widget for SGS music player.
-More in depth weather app..without the OBVIOUS brand-dropping of
accuweather.
-Support for local popular social-sites in the feeds and updates widget.
(like the dutch Hyves.nl or other local sites)
-An option to look for other languages in the Aldiko eBook reader.
And i know this is a bit stating the obvious; but erhm...i want more widgets from samsung in general...there are just so few in comparison to the Sense-UI!
And some of the google standard widgets should also be there too...they aren't included on the dutch version...just a couple of em...
Well, fill me in, and post your additions to let Samsung know what we all want.
(they must be reading this right?)
Buy launcher pro plus. Way faster then the crappy touchwiz. And it got lots of build in widgets.

They need to fix the way they update SGS...when we update we lose apps, no other phone when updating android does this..... Lol I had a,moto milestone and it never happened....sure back up apps, but I dont like the fact we have to do that cause of a bug.

Scalable dialer
The email app is missing the option to accept or decline meetings. This is unacceptable for business users!
The calendar is missing an option to select which calendar is the primary calendar.

Its missing more hardware buttons! other then that I'm quite happy with the device, I'm a little annoyed at not having music player widget but I've repleaced it with Lithium Music Player which I love.
Also I really don't care for touch whiz as its a piece of cow feces. First thing I do is install LauncherPro as its quite a good and fast replacement but I can't help to think its missing something
The SGS is missing a flash..
Definitly a better mail client:
HTML support for mails
Accept/decline meetings
Needs to be way faster
The calendar is missing an option to select which calendar is the primary calendar.

In the froyo testbuilds i think it remembers your last chosen calendar, so that should do the trick for you.
As for the rest i'm pretty satisfied (apart from a little lag, gps works ok for me)
Sgs is Missing a sense ui ROM !
I thought I started a thread on this before, but I cannot find it...
I liked the FB integration that the stock Espresso contacts app did. However, the links it makes to the FB accounts adds a Notes field with the FB data in the contact. So now on the custom ROM's contacts app, it does not have the same integration, and I can see the Notes filed with a FB tag. Is there a way to install the contacts app from the stock Espresso build that has this integration? Again, I thought I had seen it before somewhere, but cannot find it.
Short answer: No. It requires the Espresso framework I believe.
Alternatives: You can download T-Mobile's SocialBuzz, but I don't like having a spare application just to sync contacts. The Facebook app will sync with your contacts and you're able to link them.
While I missed the stock app at first, it's really not a big deal since the FB and Twitter apps basically provide the same functionality.
Well, I should have mentioned that I did have this before, I just cannot find the thread, so not sure the simple answer is No, but is understandable.
Never mind, that doesn't seem to work on TeamFenix.
Have you found out how to do this? I don't see why it would be dependent on the framework..
Sent from my myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Maybe not. I don't know a lot about such things.
But wouldn't the contacts app be pretty well integrated with the dialer and FriendStream or whatever that are dependent on Sense? Even if we had the app, it would be missing some functionality wouldn't it?
You just have to try
Ill see if I can get it going..
Nope its not going to work.. I think its because the phone.apk from stock espresso is 2.1 version and froyo needs the 2.2
I guess we can try when we get official froyo
Yeah, when I posted that it didn't work with the TeamFenix ROM, I assumed it was because of 2.2.
Not sure if this is exactly what you're talking about, but..
I downloaded the fb app from the Market and when I set it up it asked if I wanted to sync contacts and then added my fb account under Accounts and Sync. Now when I go into contacts everyone on my fb list is there, with all of their available info..
If i misunderstood, then please disregard! =]
Not saying its impossible, but if it is doable, its not gonna be very easy. I've seen hundreds of posts asking about porting various sense apps to basic android since the day sense ui was leaked. With the mass of java skills floating around in this community, I would guess that if it was realistic, it would have happened already.
Hi Guys,
Is there a friendstream like application which can show friend updates from facebook and also synchronize contacts (just the pictures...all other things are a plus) which can be used in CM7 build?
I don't like default FB app/widget very much and I have feeling it consumes too much bandwidth also, it updates even when its set to update manually
Regards,
Try Launcher Pro
