Default [Q] Miui + FB

I just flashed MIUI last night so I am a total noob about it. I looked around (google and xda) and haven't found a solid solution to this. I want to merge my FB and Contacts together but it doesnt sync everyone of my contacts. Sometimes when it merges, it doesn't have a photo for the contact. Is there a manual way of doing this ? In addition is there a way to filter contacts?



On MIUI 1.11.18

Want to merge FB and Phone Contacts (to get info and contact photo)

Want to know if there is a way to filter contacts.

Thanks. Sorry if repost.

I was able to have the Facebook app add all my friends into contacts fine. In the contact app settings there is a Remove Duplicates option i have never tried. If you open the specific contact and edit it, there is a join button in the menu. The join feature will let you manually match up the contacts.

I felt miui did all this better than stock, and I didn't need to manually figure it all out in miui like i always have to in stock. Its also easier to hide contacts that don't have phone numbers in miui in the contacts and SMS app.

Thanks. found the join menu. I was looking for it. as for the filtering goes. Im still a bit lost (since it synced additional contacts that i didnt have on my phone when i only said i wanted to sync contacts i already have)but i think ill manage by deleting them.
