A way to link facebook contacts? Possible?

is there a way to link your Facebook contact with this phone like the HTC sense ui so that the contacts have a photo instead of a blank face?
I tried to facebook account login in settings already but no go.

Bump anybody know how?

here ya go bud. sorry bout the late response.
This is one solution i've found:
http://androidandme.com/2010/04/reviews/syncmypix-pulls-facebook-contact-photos-to-android/
you'll need a rooted phone, and a method to sideload apps which can be found in these forums. i recommend droid explorer.

Mine actually started working. From in the contacts u can also see the latest post

I can't add my facebook (Facebook for Androir installed and the phone is HTC Desire) to my accounts in phone contacts. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Just installed MildWild CM-3.7 ROM and phonebook is synced with gmail. I tried to took all syncin' off and then add the facebook to my contact accounts but it just doesn't do it. And it doesn't give any error message.
Edit: opps little old thread, but hope some1 could help me.
E2: Got it working. Had to clear facebook data from apps managment and after that add Facebook to contacts (asked the login info) and got it working.

+1 Although you may need to link each contact individually.

[Q] How to sync Facebook pics to Messaging :(

I noticed that even though i have Facebook set to sync with existing contacts, it doesn't sync the profile pictures of people with the messaging app. it does show the pictures in Contacts, but not messaging or phone calls. Is there anyway i can do this without any apps from the market? i wanna keep the stock messaging app. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Update on this, I've figured out how to sync my Facebook App with my contacts.
when i launch contacts it shows each persons Facebook Profile picture next to their name, however when I launch messaging or phone, I do not see these pictures, instead they are replaced with the default "No Picture" image
has anyone figured this out?
Rom: Mosaic V

I would ask in the Rom q&a thread as this should be the normal behavior if the snsprovider etc are incorporated into the Rom. Haven't messed with any of their new stuff but I would assume they have the correct apks included.

Delete all your accounts. Use the integrated Facebook thing in Accounts to sync your Facebook account to your phone. Then install Facebook and Twitter app.
Remember to clear Samsung Mobile in your Facebook App page, otherwise it won't work properly.

[Q] Samsung SNS on Cyanogen Mod?

I really like the Facebook sync on Samsung, that it allows you to sync contacts and calender with your phone. However on Cyanogen you can only have the Facebook for Android app which only allows you to sync contacts.
Can I install the SNS features from a Samsung rom to Cyanogen Mod? Or has someone found a workaround, maybe with Google Calender?
Thanks in advance!

You cannot use Samsung apps on CM7. they have a different file system and they will not work.
you will need to find something else.

[Q] [HELP]Replace contacts manager/ Contacts app

Hi guys! yesterday I installed Cyanogenmod 11 4.4.4Kitkat (2014729) in my GT-I8190 and it works perfectly but i have one problem..
first at all, I'm from Argentina, sorry for my [email protected]#t english
Well, i have a problem whit my contacts provider, contacts manager, contacts app or whatever u call it. The story begins when I did the backup of my contacts, config, networks and messages whit Kies(yup, my bad [NOOB]), once installed CM, kies didnt read my phone(searching in forums I found out that Kies only read phones whit official roms ). Well, I only cares about contacts for now, so looking back to search in forums I could convert my .spb backup archive to a .vcf archive(one for each of my contacts), then I imported them to my phone from the contacts manager(the default in CM) and everything seemed to be fine, but wen I restart my phone and go to the contacts, I dont find them!! There are no any saved contact!!(WTF).
So, here is my solution: replace the default contacts app. I dont want to download other contacts app from the play store and also have the default one. I WANT TO UNINSTALL THE DEFAULT CONTACTS APP AND REPLACE IT WHIT ANOTHER APP DOWNLOADED FROM PLAY STORE OR ANY OTHER SITE. If for do this i need to replace the dialer app to, I dont care.
Can someone help me whit this? Thanks to all

Previously I installed a modificated version of the contacts app that I found in another XDA forum to sync the facebook contacts because that cant been done before. This have something to do with the problem?

i dont think its possible as all other contacts app such as contact+ and go contacts use the people app for the contact database...why don't you run them side by side..and use only the alternative app as default..i hear contacts+ is a really good option..also supports facebook and google+ sync and best of all its free

Have you checked if show contacts "all contacts" is selected in the options section of your contacts manager?
