Default facebook 2.3.3

The new update seems pretty good, except facebook......
I can not figure out how to just use the facebook app without automatically syncing all my contacts/pictures etc.
I can remove the accounts (yes automatic 2 accounts in the sync menu) but then there is no facebook at all.
when I just use the normal facebook app, the other account pops up again..
then it asks for my permission, witch I don't want to give (that option is there).
So when I give permission that I don't want to sync my contacts an pics.
I get the message every time again that there is something wrong with the syncing with facebook..
I need ROOT fast, so I can delete this stupid facebook ****

You should be able to turn it of in contact settings. There you can choose wish phonebooks to use. Same in calender.

I can't find any settings, too. Neither in the "SE settings", nor in the apps using the FB integration.

I can only uncheck the whole sync, not separate ones. :/

Edit: Found it. I had "auto sync" turned off, so there weren't any checkboxes to deselect specific syncs, of course. ^^

Default Facebook privacy

The new integration in 2.3.3. update looks very good on paper but:

When I want to enable sync it gives me a webpage that wants access to just about anything from me and my friends on facebook. The list goes on and on. from access to my friends list to being able to send me emails and post messages on my wall and access to all my photo's

Why do they need access to all this privacy related stuff.
I choose to NOT give permission and therefore I can not use the facebook integration, too bad but it keeps asking me to give permission every time even when I have switched off the sync on the facebook account.

are more people having this issue?

Yeah... I know what you mean... I did grumpily just give it the access.

Photos -> Gallery
Post on Wall -> Like-Button
Friends List -> update Contacts
Email -> ???

Shame that you can't deselect them seperately.
