Hi,
When we used the 4.0.2 version ICS, we had the option to use Social+, which would synchronize friends (and their numbers) to the contact list, if it was applied in the settings. Now as we are on 4.1.2, Social+ has been removed (citation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2177252, under Removal) and I have lost a fair lot of my contacts, which is sad, as it was convient.
Are there any equivalent to Social+? Did you use it?

Try using the app ubersync for Facebook from the play store. It works ok.

From what I've read and personally use, I recommend the competing app Haxsync, which works great!
use contact+ from playstore

Great for backup/restore of your SMS & Call Logs
I'll second that recommendation. It's an excellent app that I've been using for quite some time now, it's almost an absolute necessity for anybody that flashes ROM's.
I use "mybackup root" which does the above as well as being able to back up and restore MMS pictures. Its free for root users and restores a plethora of other things. Only one that can restore MMS as far as I know.

Just downloaded this app....can't quite figure out why it needs to access gmail account? Does it stow call logs and sms in gmail?
I've been using 'call log backup & restoe' and 'sms backup & restore'...... I would like to switch said two apps with just one.

yes it backs up everything to your gmail account
it's amazing!
it's a 1 touch restore if you ever Format the phone and Wipe factory restore when you change ROMs
It's one of the apps that i always want to have!!!
It's awesome thing to use!!!
I love the fact that i can always go back and search all the SMS in GMail Search

Hmmm!!!! Well it is in a lot of ways...But I am loving the life in the cloud anyways!!!
I cant imagine about depending on my computer/HDD for backups anymore!!!
Maybe Google is the lesser of all the devils out there!!
Would it be possible to integrate this Google Account Sync settings? or only google can?
Why does the Facebook app always seem to be running in the backgound?
Even after a reboot, the app is running - usually 2 diferent services - media upload and notification checker or something.
With an X8, there's not much spare RAM, so to have facebook take up anywhere from 8mb to 16mb of ram is a problem for me.
Is there a way to stop this background activity without having to go to Applications>Running Services>STOP all the time, or, is there an alternative to the facebook app that behaves itself better?
Thanks

Yes it's old bug I try to log off from facebook but it's always back to running services. I fix that with unistall, if I need fb I install it direct from SD:cyclops:
I just uninstalled both facebook and twitter, and will try seesmic for a while.

Ohh yes, I forgot. I use SEESMIC on gcr and after log off there are not backgreound apps from seesmic :good::laugh:
What I do is I "freeze" the app.
That means the app is installed , but it can not run in the memory.
When I need the app again , I simply "defrost" it.
That way I am able to use the app whenever I want and I can simply and quickly switch between Freezing and Defrosting.
I use this application free on Google Play called "Chef's Freezer"

Direct transfer of photos has been working well but not anymore.
As far as I know I have not done anything essential that could cause this trouble.
The only place I can find any settings for this is in the app for Google+
Is there anything else I can check??
Direct photos from where to where, what Rom, setting or app? If you make these things clear it is more likely people can/will help.

Sorry, maybe even the title is wrong....
Xperia V, Android 4.0.4, rooted
In the standard Album-app there is a tab called "Online" There are a few settings, i.e wich online-albums to use. I have Facebook and Picasa.
When I take a photo it transfers to the Picasa web-album.
The only setting for this, what I found, is in the Google+ app.
A few weeks ago it suddenly stopped to sync to Picasa/Google+
I have tried "all" settings in Google+
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, case solved!
I just cleared out data and cache in Google+ and now it runs well again

I agree, Titanium backup is the easiest way.
You can also use a root explorer and go to system/app and delete the apps you dont want. Just remember to make sure that the apps you delete are actual bloatware.
Anyone know how the stock browser bookmarks are stored in kitkat? The old method of finding a bookmark file in /data/data... to make the offending bookmarks editable won't work (no such file there).

Thanks for that! I've changed those bookmarks to editable but it looks as though I have to clear the data in the Internet app in order to make the bookmarks deletable. That will wipe out all my other bookmarks. Any idea how to back them up so I don't have to recreate them all again? I tried a couple apps but they failed. Not sure how to do it in Titanium. And where are the user created bookmarks stored?
By the way, why have they made it so difficult to import or export bookmarks? It's not rocket science. Every pc browser allows you to do this. I have spent way too much time recreating bookmarks in android. Not knowing the reason for this it seems completely brain dead to me.

I believe they are backed up in your Samsung account. Mine always reappear when I flash a new Rom. They came over from my Note 3 as well.

Thanks again for responding. Nope cause I don't use Samsung account for backup.
Anyone know where the user created bookmarks are stored locally or another non cloud way of backup and restore of bookmarks?
