Pretty sure FB removed this functionality from the app. Gotta use a 3rd party app to do it now.

If you use the messenger app from Facebook it will sync your contacts.

Nope, I'm not an avid facebooker and certainly don't want my contacts synced so I have nothing to recommend. I'd just google it.

I used SyncMe. It has an option to overwrite the contacts photos in HD quality. Then u can even delete the app without losing the synced pics...

I've added a third calendar which is the football schedule to my google calendar and for some reason it's not syncing to my phone. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?
Hi,try download business calendar in market,sync using that. You will find out that stock calendar is capable to sync other calendar by then.

I don't have an option to use SMS in Hangouts on my Moto X. Though the play store indicates I am on the latest version of hangouts because it does not give me the option to update, in fact my hangouts app indicates I am on version 1.2 instead of 2.0+.
Anybody have any ideas? Anybody else using SMS in hangouts on a Moto X?
Sent from my XT1053
I don't think the 2.0 version has hit the Play Store yet. You have to be on 2.0+ for the SMS integration.

So is the description in the play store simply wrong? It gives the change log for 2.0 which suggests to me 2.0 should be available. See screen shot below, taken just now with my stock T-Mobile Moto X.

Chances are they are doing a staged rollout. But if you don't have 2.0 on your phone, you won't have those features.
Anybody here with an X who CAN do SMS with hangouts?
Sent from my Nexus 7
I received 2.0 a few days ago. When you first launch it, it will ask if you want to import your SMS messages. After that it works fine for SMS, MMS, and Hangouts. It's a little confusing at first but you'll get used to it. If you have a hangouts conversation and an SMS conversation going on with the same person, they will appear as two separate threads. However, you can switch between them using the account selector at the top of either thread.

Hey all-
With the while exchange email issue with kitkat how is everybody accessing their mail? I am using the lite version of touchdown for my email but I do not love it, is there a better app out there? Or better yet is there a non-rooted work around to use the default mail app?

I'm using cloudmagic. It's OK, but I prefer the stock app. I don't know of anyway to fix the issues with the stock app.
Have you looked at Aqua Mail?

I have used EE (Enhanced Email) for a while. It allows you to skip the exchange enforcement rules, and is based off stock android client.
I will try out EE I gave aquamail a test drive and did not love it

What Exchange issue are you talking about? There is some issue with pushing but if to change in setting to poll every 5, 10, 15 or whatever minutes instead of push it works OK. Definitely is not necessary to use 3rd party email app for this.

How does this work if the Moto X has Email.apk and Exchange.apk instead of EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2Google.apk?
I was following another thread but it hasn't been updated with a non-flashable set of files (I don't have a custom recovery).

your talking to users who are likely NOT rooted (such as myself). This method doesn't work unless you're rooted. The manifests don't line up between the two installs, which prevents EmailGoogle.apk from installing on the X (without root).
The only way around this issue is to use a third party app or keep an eye on your account settings and if something is stuck (syncing now), uncheck sync and re-check.
I just stay on 4.2.2 until they release 4.4.2. It's not worth the effort.
Try MailWise (beta) from the Play Store. It's replaced the default email app to access email from Exchange servers. Pretty impressive app for stability, features, and developer responsiveness.

I do not believe its a Motorola app, I believe its actually a Google app for email other than Gmail. So yes, I do not think you would any issues side loading the email app, if you can find the APK, but I am not 100% certain about that.

OP is talking about the email app which is not the same as the gmail app. Gmail you install from the play store, the email app you cannot (and is a system app). TouchWiz does not include the stock email app as Samsung has provided their own version of an email app.

That is correct, I was referring to the system app and not GMAIL and someone provided a link to a download for it that should work on all newer phones.
Recently I started to use AICP as it seems to be the most stable for Verizon at the moment. The lack of the stock camera app kind of bugged me and I get that almost all roms will change the camera app. Some people hate the stock app others adore it and others got used to it. I have the apk for the stock app right here and it had been working flawlessly on my xt1575.
I will be uploading mirrors later tonight in case my Dropbox link isn't working
Sorry for the long wait but I'm finally back with a new mirror!!!! https://Bit.ly/1SQgll2
I take no credit for anything I just found the apk
This is not a flashable zip I can make one later if it's needed
This has not been tested on a xt1572 device. Either varient.
Feel free to test for me
If this works for you feel free to leave a comment and a thumbs. Or don't I don't care ?
Thanks. I to found that the stock camera is my preferred app. I had a backup with titanium and I just restored it to system. It works with the twist motion also. I'm on Slim Saber.

That one is ported from the moto g so I'm not positive if anything was changed although I'm pretty sure that the moto x style/pure camera app is the only camera app with the front flash as an option. Seeing as the moto g does not have a front flash it wouldn't make sense for the moto g to have that as option hence there may be a difference. This one came straight from the moto x pure and will most likely work on both varients of moto x styles in every rom. Hope this answers your question!

The Moto G version has the front-facing flash as well so i think that is taken from the X Pure also. It also has the advanced ladybug control activated and both camera and app are installable apks. The app also just got updated a few days back so it is the latest one.

I gotcha. See, when using the stock apk you posted (btw, thanks. ) everything is dandy except I cannot swipe right-to-left to get at the gallery. It just shows the grey placeholder screen. I'd love to have the camera integrated into something just so I can review the last picture taken or what have you.
Any thoughts?
