Facebook Integration, what is it, and how to get it back..

[shadowline]

Hello everybody,
Recently I went on a hunt to find the missing link in the Facebook integration of our Topaz and Touchflo. As it turns out HTC decided to not enable it in the Topaz versions.

So what is it? What does it do? Well it takes the contacts stored on your phone, and links it to the contacts in your Facebook Profile. And what it does from there is give you their profile photos for your contacts, their birthdays, events, and a link to your own Facebook profile, with icons for new messages, pokes, notifications, etc.

Heres a few screenshots.



Now as far as how to get it running,
Personally I used XBMOD fix first and then used Bbonzz fix and it works. But I reccomend to try bbonzz's fix first as it should be the only one needed to make it work, otherwise I re-uploaded both here.

Credits go to XBMod for the VGA ports, and fixes (which sometimes work for us too. :P)
and to bbonzz who managed to get a fully working, installable fix for it.

Let us know what your experiences are, what works, and what doesn't. Enjoy!

Tried the 2nd CAB first and seemed to work, get the tab but I'm not seeing any updates. Profile pics work ok tho, just don't get any updates.

Also got the tab. Seems like I could log in, but no updates or events. I tries to update the data, but no go. Any one else got this working?

just seen one status update for one contact! wondering if only new updates appear after install? To be honest, wish I hadn't installed it.... it's a bit of fluff really! Not of any real use! Can I uninstall?

[EDIT]You can uninstall.... just use the normal method.[Edit]

Wow, I've been wanting this since I found out it didn't come with the phone.

If they enable the social features on the TP2 and not the TD2 that's odd. I gigure TD2 is the social phone and TP2 the business one.

Thanks!

THanks for this. I'm pretty impressed with it. It maybe a gimmick but i'm pretty happy with it.

It good to be able to link your facebook friends with your contacts and get the profile pictures...

Seems to get a little confused sometimes though...

I've installed this but when I try to login it says login failed? Does the thing not automatically connect to the net? (I do have data connection turned off in comm manager maybe thats the reason)

EDIT: Ok got it working after turning on my data connections... it's found pictures for 2 or 3 of my contacts but for the rest it can't seem to download the pics... anyone else getting this?
