Does an all-in-one messenger exist?

I'm curious if an all-in-one messenger exists or is even possible, and i'm not just talking about having Facebook or a.i.m on the same app. I'm looking for something more like how BlackBerry users messaging app works, where when an e-mail arrives, and a text arrives it will all show up in the same app with the click of one button.
If any already exist or if this is even possible any news would be wonderful
Thank you in advance.

Im not sure but maybe Nimbuzz does what you are looking for!

[DEV] [TEST] Facebook Sync [Possible Solution]

Quite a few of you have asked me about the Facebook not syncing with 2.3.4 since Google decided to make it a no-no...Below is a link to a compiled .apk file that, hopefully, fixes the syncing problem.
*ContactsProvider.apk* TESTING ONLY and not responsible if something bad happens!! What I can say is that I have been running this on my phone with no problems but since I don't use Facebook..maybe someone else can let me know.
- Lastly, do NOT sign the .apk
- push to /system/app
*link removed*

SyncMyPix works well

I can't wait to see it working on my Xoom. I really hope your solution will be universal.
Also, I cannot test on my Nexus S, as CM7 has already the sync working.

So, is this a working solution?
I just picked up a NS4G and would love to get this working.

same here. as a matter of fact, why did google decide to go against this?

They wanted the data to be synced to the contact so that it would be on Google's servers... i.e. their picture is uploaded to the server, and no longer requires Facebook sync for the data.

Yes those are the rules for using Google's contact API. The philosophy is that the user should be able to export and have control over data his contacts have shared with him. Facebook wants all that data to stay in the Facebook system. They do not want to allow you to export or own or have control of your friends contact info outside of Facebook.
The rule has always been there and Facebook has always violated it. This is Google's way of letting them know they are not happy about it even though they continue to let it slide on pretty much all other devices.

Any news on this app would like to resync them again thanks

I've been using an apk called syncmypix and it works wonders..

It sync's the pix, there are dozents of tools like that...we need a data sync tool which sync's fb data, not only pics, with the phone contacts...

I've been using Contapps (also on the Android Market) to get around this issue.
Works great.

Actually, Contapps is a good app and can sync with social networks,including Facebook.

Maybe someone clever enough should just have a look into Cm7 source code or just ask the team. They have the answer and I am sure they are willing to share.

The Facebook app package name just needs to be added to the various unrestricted packages lists. Then its free to do whatever with your data, ignoring Google's restrictions.
I will try and find out exactly which parts of code it requires changed some time this week, I believe its XML only.

Or....
Go here: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/10/synchronizing-google-and-facebook.html.
Install on your PC. Run. Log in. Boom, synced.
Thanks to Koush.

That's not the same thing as what the Facebook app does. Koush's app just takes the photo from Facebook and updates the photo in your Google Contact entry for the person. That photo is then permanent until you manually remove it on the Google Contacts website.
The Facebook app only stores the photo in the person's contact on your phone, but not in the actual Google contact entry. The advantage of this is that if you remove Facebook, the pics go away as well. It keeps Facebook and Google Contacts separate. This is how Twitter, Last.FM, Qik, et al do it.

I know. I like that better. I did not like syncing photos, then I log into Gmail Contacts and all the photos were gone. I like to have the photos in Gmail too.
But my post really was in reply to another user who suggested another 3rd party app to sync the pictures. I meant to quote his post but I did not.

Gotcha, thanks. Afaik, CM and some other chefs have the requisite info to bypass goog's restrictions and allow syncing. Maybe we can reach out to them and they'll be kind enough to share the solution?

Remove facebook from gallery

How to remove face book feed In my gallery??

Yeah even I was wondering the same thing. Anyone could help?

remove facebook from gallery
on gallery go settings/ show / hide albums uncheck what you don't want

I must be blind... I don't find this option in my Gallery. I can only remove accounts completely.
edit: I found it, Facebook was allready disabled and of course I still have all the pictures of my contacts... :/ Googled a bit and didn't find a solution. Looks like it's "hardcoded" into Sense or something.

Try disabling "Live Feed" under Accounts-> Facebook
and clear Gallery data

I think the only way to do it would be to delete the facebook app as I have done as I no longer have facebook
but of course this isn't really a solution if you want the app. Of course you could always delete the app and use the mobile website if you really want to get rid of the pictures in your gallery.

[Q] Send contact via sms

How do I send a contact via sms
Usually I click and hold on a number and there should be a copy option
As I understand. Not everyone can recieve a VCARD?

Go to People.Find contact you want to send,open it and click options-there is option SEND CONTACT and that's it.

Tried sending to my wife's iphone
She never got the sms
I guess it's because iPhone cannot receive the format it's sending in?
I just want to send the text in an sms
I cannot believe this simple feature doesn't exist

It works for me but i use go sms pro, lets u send it in sms format.

Iphone or not, it's not cross platform
Therefore it's bad design
I'm a software dev, i don't say that ie10 isn't standards compliant therefore I won't develop sites for it
No, a good system will be cross platform, particularly when iOS has a huge chunk of the market
I'm basically going to have to ask everyone if they have an iphone or not
A simple copy option is all that is required (I could be writing a word document and need to copy and paste)
Anyway, pointless rant as you don't work for google, but thanks for contributing
I installed that messaging app but it defaults to the HTC message app when I try and send the contact

Install Sync.me, it's free and uses fullscreen HD pictures straight from facebook.
I can't post links yet, but search Sync.me in the Play Store and you will find it.

If you are trying to sync facebook contacts, enable "Xperia with facebook". Your contact pics will be HD quality

Just choose the contact picture again and it will go back to the large contact photo. This used to be an issue pre ics but for some reason it's present in Sony roms.
