Hi, XDAers!
I updated my MM2 to Stock Android 2.3.6 and everything was working as well...
But I think I found a little bug in facebook (apk) contacts sync:
I just installed the app via Market and logged in, but for my surprise it doesn't show in Accounts > Other Accounts (as Twitter or even LinkeIn does) and sync is not working. (PS. not the Motoblur thing).
I tryed reinstall facebook app, reflash sbf, wipe data, restore factory defaults, santeria...
No success!
And there's no option in facebook app settings like in 2.2
Someone else can confir this bug, or is just me?
Well, yesterday I noticed the Facebook icon was shown in Accounts > Other Accounts, but when I clicked it, nothing happened... Thought it was a bug of Blur, so I took wipe data / factory reset and created a new Blur account.
Now, I noticed the icon is there and working (I've tested it)
Thank you for post it... I'll set up Facebook contacts from Facebook app instead from Blur (it has a lot of sync bugs)
--------------------------------------
EDIT: seems that there is no way to sync Facebook contacts using Facebook's own application. seems that the only function of the Facebook icon in Accounts > Other Accounts is just log into Facebook application. the only way to perform this task seems to be using the MOTOBlur.
Use Contact Sync For Facebook, is the best for me! If you talk about the same app sorry...
But there 2 apps Facebook Contact Sync and Contact Sync for Facebook, the second choice is best, but didn't have the options to sync automatically

I got the same problem in Retail rom, and then i've installed this app, worked pretty well ! thnks
I ran tylers ROM a few days and it was great, but I wanted to try the actually GE ROMs, so I flashed sinless and I've had a great experience so far but I cant get my Facebook contacts to sync with existing contacts. In fact the people app doesn't show Facebook contacts even when I select it. Anyone ran into this?

You need a 3rd party app to sync FB contacts with stock Android. I use HaxSync
hi guys one question, for my notes I use Tasks Free, which correctly syncs with my gtasks so I always have them all available phone/PC
in stock based roms I see notes app and I like it, but I can't sync the notes between devices. I see in sync settings there is also the possibility to use dropbox, but when I click it it says something about being using multiple dropbox accounts or so.. (I have already set up my DB account in general account settings).
anyone of you could sync the notes with his dropbox account? am I the only one with this problem?
thanks a lot!
Hello!
Is it possible to manually select the contacts with the appropriate facebook profiles and photos? Because I'm having a lot of trouble to sync it right.
Best regards
It was possible (or maybe it is still is) only on third party apps like Sync.Me, HaxSync etc.
Hi All
i'm on ZUI 2.1.140
Google Play works normal
i wonder how to import / sync google contact since on account & sync there is no Google Contacts options
Thanks
You just have to install this 3 apks in this order, Google Contacts Sync, Google Contacts and Google Play Store. Don't forget to install Google Play Services if you need it.
Here's what you need. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=93727

Looks like the sync adapter does take care of the syncing for the calendar, works for me after the sync status has completed. But you could always choose to install Google calendar from the playstore. Then open Zui calendar > settings > then change the default calendar to Google calendar.
I managed to sync the contacts, my only problem is, profile pics are not synced. I had one Rom installed from Franco, the Sync Adapter was preinstalled in this rom, sync was with Pics.
Now on zui 2.5, no chance to get the pics.

Mine stopped working after a couple weeks but I got it going again. Definitely a hassle, though.
A little background: After a lot of playing with Mokee 7.1.2 (CONSTANT hard freezes with blue LED making me miss my alarm the next morning), RR, AICP, etc. I decided to just try and make ZUI work for me between Magisk for root and Nova Launcher. I had brought up a clean install from QFIL flash of ZUI 2.5.335, flashed TWRP 3.1.0 (LR.Team version) to recovery, flashed 2.5.415 update zip, installed Google Play Store, Play Services, Contacts, and Contacts Storage from apkmirror.com and set about making it mine and disabling Chinese system apps and so on. Spent some time screwing with Safe Center (which thinks AdAway is a virus, but oh well), it was pretty livable. Only hard freezes if I use bluetooth with my car too long, which IS pretty annoying. But I've never had it freeze overnight and make me late for work, and hey, the camera Just Works, and U-Health is pretty cool.
Anyway, after about 3 weeks it was working pretty well for me, I miss some of the CAF/AOSP kind of things, but at least they're deploying security updates even if it's still Nougat 7.0 based. But then I noticed a week ago contacts stopped syncing. I could switch sync off & back on for Contacts but it wouldn't update. I tried wiping data for all the Google things and even deleting and re-adding Google accounts, but that just resulted in no more switch to tell it to sync Contacts. Dammit.
I DID get it working again today: I removed all the Google accounts from Settings, then uninstalled Google Play Store (com.android.vending), Google Contacts (com.google.android.contacts), and Google Contact Storage (com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts - I used Titanium Backup to uninstall the package since I bought that long ago), and deleted the updated Google Play Services apk from /data/apps (com.google.android.gms - use whatever file explorer with root access you like, I'm a fan of Mixplorer from XDA Labs but I'm sure ES File Explorer will work great). Rebooted. Gmail app doesn't know what to do with itself now.
I then reinstalled with Contacts 2.0.8, Contacts Storage 7.0 (API 24 target, woo; maybe this will work better than the newer 7.1+/API 25 target one that I tried before), Play Store 7.9.30, and Play Services 11.0.55 (240 version - Android 5.0+, ARM/ARM64 v8 abi, nodpi) from apkmirror.com and specifically made sure to give them all full permissions access instead of leaving it at the more paranoid "prompt" settings. I then was able to re-add my Google accounts and get Play store and Gmail and all the other Google apps to see them again with a little effort (basically had to re-do all the Google apps; Play Books, Play Music, Drive, Gmail, Calendar, etc.).
But contact sync seems to be working again, both for new contacts created through a computer web browser and created on the phone. I'm a little worried it's only temporary, I guess we'll see. But deleting Google accounts, full deleting 4 packages, and reinstalling with full permission access seemed to work.

How did you manage to sync contacts? And does anyone else have "ok google" greyed out?
I am on zui 2.5.435 st installed via QFIL, BL unocked, rooted Super SU. The sync initially worked but after a few days stopped working as well.
New setup works again. But if I click on "Refresh" in google calendar the Syncing does not stop. Do you have the same issue? There is something broken.
Why can't we just use openGAPPS?

What ever I try. The Sync will not work. I reinstalled the google accound many times. Deleted all google apps. Started with Contact app but whatever i try. It always says: This account already exists on your device. Somehow after installing Google Contacts Sync it downloaded 47 of the 1250 contacts to the phone. Its not visible in Google contacts. those contacts are the contacts I recently added in the last year. Online I see all my contacts. Why cant I find all other contacts on my phone? I even changed data restrictions. Set it on "no restriction" and cleared cash and all after deleting google account end tried all possible varieties of this.. Still no success in the Contact app.. Weird thing is that when I ask Google app verbally to call some of my contactst it works. So all the contacts are clearly still in my google acount and even linked to my voice command for dialing. Only the contact apps dont show them.. What is wrong here? Spend all night trying everythng. Nothing seems to work..
