It's unbelievable that [email protected] like this is showing up on XDA-Developers in an Android Development section nonetheless.
The search is there for a reason. So use it. As are the stickies. Cripes. Thread reported.
Why people always ignore the stickied thread.

It's unbelievable. If everybody did this it would be impossible to find the actual posts. They don't even read, they just jump for that shiny New Thread button. We should have a requirement that you must be logged in for at least 2hours before being allowed to start a thread
It's unbelievable or maybe I'm not the norm... I actually read the sticked even before I got my SGS making sure I understand the process of rooting.

For those of you like me that cant stand that the check box for non market apps is completely gone in 4.1.83 and apparently Atrix did not make the Today OTA fix from ATT this is a quick how to to correct this over-site
#Need SQLite Editor from market & Root
1. Open SQLite Editor
2. Scroll down to Settings Storage (com.motorola.android.providers.settings)
3. Click settings.db
4. Click Settings
5. Scroll to _ID 107 "force_only_market_apps"
6. Press hold and select option change value
7. change value to 0
8. Save
9. Enjoy
Umm the non market application check box is there for me? what are you talking about
don't know what to say to that , mine was not there in the menu at all ever sense the latest update... either way it is still another way to enable non market apps from anywhere with out using a separate program
please search before posting, this was already posted and for a few weeks has been included in gladenabler.

Yea, I posted this a while back in a couple of the other sideloading treads as another option. The only thing I think you need to add to your OP is that you need to be rooted to do it.
It's not a bad idea to have a separate tread for this, but maybe it should be in the themes and apps tread since it is really just an app? (maybe that is just me)
And this is a VERY easy way to enable it.

Hay, no problem man, it was buried in the tread, so that's why I thought that it wasn't a bad idea for a tread for it alone. Besides, it happens to even us that search and search for stuff in treads, and still can't find what we were looking for, but we gave it a valiant effort.
You devs have my greatest respect, so don't think I was trying to say anything negative. Keep up the good work man, you guys have taught me so much.

since there were previously 11 posts explaining how to do this (yes, 11), and without even needing to install an app from the market, rather just plain adb, yes this wasn't needed

dont have to come at me... i may not have a lot of posts, but i have been following this seen pretty thoroughly.
It's already applied to me ... but maybe coz I installed the GingerBlur rom
Thanks for your efforts
Helped me out quite a bit, Thanks OP!!!
Thanks man and don't even care about the d*ckheads, they're everywhere. Keep us updated with your findings please.
Seems there is enough similarities of the phones, if not Exact....that the threads could be combined.
The reason I think it is critical to combine is that it becomes a hassle to check each thread to see what is good info...we have double postings essentially having two groups talking and solving the same problems.
Since the phones are the same hardware, you could argue that each custom ROM could have its own group. To me: same hardware = same group
I am fine with locking this thread....if I knew how to go about it.
My vote goes for: NO. Keep them as is. Two groupings

Also this may give 12312342424+ bricked phones....
Not until there is a way to make the Rom's compatible for both phones and the majority of dev's implement it. The fact that we can't run the leaked gingerbread G2X Rom says it really
No, they need to be seperate as the software isn't compatible.
same outside, different inside. it's a NO for me.

Guys, this is why recovery supports "assert(getprop)" to prevent software being installed on the incorrect phone. This is why you can't install CM for a Desire on a Nexus One.
Also, it's pretty easy to label stuff.
So I think that reason is invalid.
However, I do think there should be two dev sections and common Q&A/General/Themes & Apps sections.
But then I look at all of the nonsense posts that go on in the G2x section and think perhaps we're lucky...
Nevertheless, I voted in the poll.

It's not just that, the differences mean an answer for something on the O2X can cause problems for a G2X.
If I told someone to install CMR via ROM Manager, turn their phone off hold vol- and power up, on an O2X it would boot into recovery, on a G2X it would wipe the phone as ROM Manager fake flashes.
Why isn't this thread closed already? It's clear the two phones are different, and everyone agrees.

Then you just need to set up your tasks in Gmail
I think there is another better app to give statistics and other info.

On computer I can make a small website and put it on the local host to use it when I have internet but I want to on the phone and phones don't have local host so I cannot explore it whenever I want
but I'm an android developer and java and c++ too but I want to tae more lessons in android to start programming so I started by java first So wait for this app produced by HEMOALI
Hey, if you know a bit of ActionScript3, you could just learn haXe/NME so that you could build you app for any platform and by a very very simple and fast way
But there are also a lot of tutorials on the Android General section !
Good luck in building it
EDIT: Or even Google's App Inventor should be enough ?

I don't care how old you are, in that post above you asked someone to give you that program - that is considered warez, something that isn't allowed on XDA. There are many Todo apps in the market that are free, try them and make your own choice, but do not ask for anyone to 'give' you anything again here on XDA.

We all have FB & ever since ICS days FB syncing was disabled. A lot of us want to be able to sync images for contacts from fb. I personally don't like adding more & more apps as they can have some impact on performance or battery. But most importantly I dont want to share my fb info with other apps.
**Just a update....Purity Rom has this enabled as of 01/29/2014 N4 build....so Purity users please skip this...its more useful for other Roms***
I had mentioned it in one of the forums, and few people had messaged me in private regarding it so I am just putting it out there in simple noob friendly manner. The steps do seem long, but once you get through it couple of times these are very very simple. For me this method has worked great over time, worth the effort for me atleast.
So I found a method back in the ICS days to be able to sync fb images with client profiles following Niranjan's method (I take no credit for it whatsoever and just providing information and can help someone if they need any guidance) but subsequently author stopped posting/responding the thread. So I will try to recompile a easy guide that can prove useful for anyone who wants to do it on their own. Please note Sense n other OEM roms already have this capability so u won't need this method.
Drawbacks
1. Slightly time consuming joining contacts.
2. Have to redo process everytime you update rom (dirty flash keeps older syncs but doesn't update)
Requirements:
1. Root and su - since you will be modifying system file.
2. Download and install aShell and aSqlLiteManager from google store - both free by developer Andsen thanks for his contributions. Also once u are done...u can simply uninstall these two apps.
3. Be able to decompile & compile apk files or alternatively I could do it for u but never try to rush or demand from me....I am doing it as a courtesy so never try to push me for it. You could always quote me (so I get notified) or send me a message in case I don't respond in a day.
Steps
1. We need to retrieve your current contactsprovider.apk file. Depending on your version of Android it can be located in different folder within the root directory:
a. Kitkat: /system/priv-app
b. Jellybean/ICS: /system/app/
2. Make sure to do a backup of the apk file before proceeding. If you want me to modify your apk file then upload it for me to modify and skip step 3-5.
3. Save the copied apk as contactsprovider1.apk Decompile (I used this guide in starting...noob friendly) the contactsprovider.apk and call it contacts. Rename attached arrays.xml.txt file to arrays.xml and add to decompiled apk's res/values/ folder.
4. Once you have added the file you should a total of 4 files (including the one you added). Recompile the apk folder as contacts.apk. Using Winrar/7-zip copy resources.arsc from contacts.apk and replace the file in contactprovider1.apk.
5. Upload the new contactsprovider1.apk to its correct directory and since you have the original backed up safetly you can rename the file to contactsprovider.apk after setting the permissions. Set permissions to -rw-r--r--
6. Open aShell (installed earlier), grant it superuser permissions. You will come across few tip boxes, so just close through them. Tick Root checkbox. Click File Explorer. Navigate to Data/Data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases and click on contacts2.db. Allow aSQLd mime sqlite to open the db. Click Open database with aSQLiteManager. Click Query. Enter following query "alter table raw_contacts add column is_restricted VARCHAR;" (don't include quotes). Click Run & you are done.
7. Press back button until you get a popup message asking you to save the changes you committed and you say YES to it.
8. Now login into your FB app and go to app settings and you will have a option at the bottom for sync. Select Sync all and give it about 5 minutes to sync through. You can open your contacts/people app and see if the names/images start coming through from FB.
9. One last step (boon for some curse for others) is you have to open up your contacts/people app and go to the contact who you want to sync with fb. Go to Edit, go to join and your FB contact will show up there and you join them together.

Your solution involves installing 2 additional apps... Ashell and asqlitemanager, both of which require a user to be rooted, as well as decompiling an app on top of the other additional steps. Your reasoning for those steps was an additional cost to phone performance.
Ubersync is 1 app rather than 2, so it fits better into your first requirement, doesn't require root access, and doesn't affect performance because it doesn't run in background unless it's performing a sync, which takes roughly 30 seconds compared to your 5 minutes and can be set to happen as little as once a month.
I did read your post. The logic is flawed and reasoning outdated especially on current model phones.

U don't require either of the apps once u are done.... but i am sure someone super intelligent like u knew.... Plus someone as smart as u who is getting his panties in a bunch for no reason will know that uber is an app which doesn't sync phone numbers..... n most of nexus users don't like extra add on apps
N most importantly this is a free forum.... U are more then welcome to open a new thread n preach whatever u want.... instead of being a 50yr old cranky old guy

No preaching, simply offering a streamlined alternative. I'm not aware of the poll that shows how many people who own a nexus don't like add-on apps, but I hesitate at advising people to edit their phone databases because of the risk of mistakes, even with backups. Considering that database queries search for specifically labeled information, a wrong edit can cause the database cursor to not be able to find the information, affecting not only the contacts app but any other app that accesses the contacts provider.
At the very least, I'd recommend posting the dangers of using this method over simply using a sync app. But considering how easily you were able to correctly estimate my intelligence, I'd guess you've already thought of that.
Good night

I'd rather download 1 app. This, to be honest isn't noob friendly. Im familiar with all this and even i found it complicated.
Not only is there various app on Google play which do this, most don't require you to be rooted.
Also ROMs are offering contact sync now.
I just flashed the latest Purity and as soon as i installed Facebook it syncd both contact pictures and numbers with out any apps.
So that's also an option for rooted users.

If u read i put in what are the drawbacks for it. Also i am not pushing it to anyone or reinventing the wheel here.... lot of people used Niranjan's method, i just gave then option of doing it in kitkat.
I won't know why u did be happy to have a 3rd party app have access to your data + causing a battery drain. Adding a column to db isn't creating havoc.... any person who has basic knowledge of SQL could tell u that....
N i am not here to sell something or destroy a db by adding a column to it if someone could use it then great.... it's about helping each other out on xda... cause there are people who don't like 3rd party apps controlling them

lol n here u r searching for ways to still be able to sync contacts for fb that landed u on this page.....lol speaks a lot about ur comfort level with the app.....but sure as u said wild emotions....u r more then welcome to give more apps control to ur personal life n also try to put down ppl who r trying to share with community
anyways whole idea was to give some users who had been looking n asking for fb sync an alternative...but thats helping them...which u wont understand.....funnily enough one of the best roms on N4 also got fb enabled by its dev.....so guess I am very wrong
I will be more then happy to close out the thread

actually JayRokk...just re-read ur post n yes Purity has it added. its the same step from Niranjan's guide I believe....so it would be beneficial to all users....the extra steps are for users on different roms....coz they can have edits in their contactsprovider.apk....n once u r done running the script in aShell....u uninstall it...I always do
So the whole idea is....u r in control...u r not sharing ur fb info with another app....thats why in the first place it was devised...if it helps someone great....if not then lemme know how to get the thread closed n I will delete the guide as well....since on xda now...ppl arent about helping but ppl bashing....n I dont have free time for dramaqueens
Please don't judge the reason for me coming on this thread if you don't know them. I was simply scrolling through whole forum to see what's new and stumbled on this and just to read what it was all about.
As for you my advice would be to stop these generalisations as pointed in the response from the other person above.
I think you should just calm down and let people voice their opinions as clearly your method ain't for noobs. But rather a complex alternative. And I do know SQL and been with android since 2009, but certainly I would not recommend my girlfriend following this road for the reasons pointed above.
P.s. I've nothing to hide so I don't really care where my personal data is being used but if person worked for government or any other institution were personal data is sensitive - then I think there's no place of Facebook on his/her phone

actually...u r being very childish....n making judgement as anyone could see.....no one invited u here....1 person is preaching his/her interest in app...which wasnt needed as this is just a guide for whosoever wants it.....its not like I am going n dragging ur gf into this. even rooting a phone isnt recommended or installing customs roms either....u are so totally not going the xda way....its about learning n sharing...thats what most ppl come on here to do...but I guess u arent here for that
n as pointed out by JayRokk as well...this has been added to Purity...one of the best roms out here...so its not like this is a bad thing...this is mostly for other rom users...if they want it they can do it...if they dont then they just get Contacts+ app...but as u r putting it....putting a tutorial or a rom or kernel did be a sin...just coz 1-2 ppl dont like it
so dont judge my friend....its all about helping ppl on xda...if u dont like a post...be a grownup n move on...coz all u r doing is wasting ur time
