[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
Well I already set a picture manually, and I do have a google+ profile (which I don't use for anything at all; just like a facebook profile with zero friends). It's just that having all of my other contacts neatly automatically linked and synced to my Google Contacts account (and my Facebook through Haxsync) while having my own info be something that I need to set manually is tedious.

I.e. if I go into any of the contacts on my phone to edit them, I'd see a "Google contacts" header where their phone numbers and email addresses are nicely sorted, and a "haxsync" header if I know them on facebook, which has the obvious benefits. It's an elegant enough backend to a pretty nice interface when I'm just using my phone in day to day tasks.

On my own contact entry, there is no haxsync header, which seems counter-intuitive; it should be just as easy to hardcode in to check my own profile for info as it is to parse my entire friends list and look for matches.

If you go into my Local Profile, where eveything else has the Google Contacts header, this one has a google+ header. Sure, it works okay, but other than google trying to motivate me to use a service I don't have any other reason to invest time in, all it means is my nice neat repository of contact info now has an exception built in that I'll need to manage separately. Bleh. All I want is my Local Profile to look and update just like any other contact entry in my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Other than your picture (for SMS purposes, obv), how often are you finding that you need to know what your own phone number is or what your address is or what your last status update was? It's your phone, presumably no one else is looking at it. You already know who you are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
This is all very true! As far as practical benefits go, there is very little on the line. I just flashed 4.0.4 onto my phone and it took me all of 30 seconds to re-set a picture, and I've decided that I don't really care to sign into google+ just to get my email addresses to show up in that part of my phone. All less hassle than re-joining my friends who use names on facebook that won't auto-sync with haxsync.

These aren't high-priority complaints. I forget about them except for when I'm reflashing my phone and need to do a little legwork. But they do seem to be fixable, low priority or not, and mostly I was wondering if anyone had found a way to trick their phone into fixing them before they're officially baked into the software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Just my .02 here.

So first of all I hate buying apps, especially for something minimal as this but after reading into this I finally took a leap of faith and dropped the dollar, and I have to say I am really glad I did! This app does what it was meant to do, syncs high quality Facebook pictures with my contacts. Probably one of the best apps I have purchased!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emerica243:
Does this mean everytime you do a Normal contact sync on your google account, its going to overwrite all the hi res photos from haxsync with the low res ones from the google cloud?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajftl:
Omfg I just **** in my pantssss
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motsrox:
Nope, HaxSync creates its own RawContacts seperate from the Google ones, which means Google sync doesn't interfere with HaxSync :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motsrox:
Hey, sorry for the double post, but I just wanted to let you guys see the sneak preview for the coming version. I've implemented the new Social APIs, which means much more awesome status updates for everyone running a 4.0.3+ rom!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
1 question tho :

I have AOKP m3 , and im installing new version of HaxSync... Is it possible to sync facebook contacts with HaxSync only , but not with rom built in feature ? (because i like HaxSync sync :) )

edit : and one more thing : i have installed Hax Sync and im syncing contacts from Faceboo, but not all of them have picture synced.. Do i have to wait bit longer or i have issue ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motsrox:
Laynee1, yes, you can sync with HaxSync only without a problem. Regarding the missing pictures, I'd wait a bit longer, but contact me if things don't improve!

HaxSync 2.0 was just uploaded to the market and I think it's the biggest and best update yet. Here's the short version of the changelog, for the fancy version with lots of pictures click here.

Merges contacts itself instead of relying on People-App => No more duplicate contacts!

Reads <HTCData> fields and uses them when merging contacts.

Syncs Events you're attending to calendar.

Syncs Birthdays to calendar.

Uses new Social APIs for touchable status updates with comment/like count and thumbnails (4.0.3+ only)

Syncs data to "Me" Card.

Added German, Croatian and Hungarian translations.

Completely reworked settings interface.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdkgenie:
Could you describe the routine of HaxSync? I mean: how the contacts can be synced automatically? By the first name, middle name, last name or nickname? Because I don't want to rename all my google contacts to match my friends' facebook profile. But I can add more details to my google contacts to get them auto synced with HaxSync. Tried some combination but didn't find the best way :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
New friends added to Facebook don't appear to be syncing. I've had some new friends on for a week now, and HaxSync doesn't appear to know they are there...

Is there any way to force a sync? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mursepaolo:
I'm loving Haxsync! However, I'm matching up some contacts manually with my People app and Haxsync. Will this manual matching make it through a ROM wipe? Will Haxsync remember?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimbok:
There's a backup check box just check that and it will insert <HTC data> tag into your contact information. Haxsync will use this info to help merge your contact the next time you restore it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashidi_zin:
I think Haxsync is not smart enough to tell if you have added new friends or your friends has updated their profile pictures.

To force another download: Preference -> Contact Settings -> Force redownload.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimbok:
HaxSync will update your contact photos if your contact has updated their photo. That is if you have enabled "Sync Contacts".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mad1993max:
Hi is it possible to sync the whole timeline with all thigs on it like i see it on facebook to my contacts via haxsync?

i enabled, staus updates, new api, and sholl whole timeline, but it just showes me some posts on the timeline, and only max 5 posts is there any way to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abezzilla99:
No its not

how do i get high res photos? Does this not work on 4.2? It finished syncing and the pics I see are still kinda low res.

Does this work on 4.2?

Hi I am using Bigixe 4.2 ASOP v2 rom and Haxsync continually crashes when it tries to Sync... it never gave this issue before.. any one else having issues on 4.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slattery69:
i had problems with hax sync , but found facebook contact sync to be good. its free and can chose pic sizes and always seems to keep up to date, brings in status updates to the people app as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motsrox:
High-res pictures did not work for a short time because of an issue on Facebook's side. They should work properly now.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mantour:
I have bought a Samsung Galaxy W, root it and installed titanium backup on it. From there, and I restores my backup saved from my old phone (htc desire z). I choose retirement apps and system data option, guess it was the wrong one to choose. After the backup was done I had a ton of FC. So I rebooted my phone and voila! I can only see the Samsung intro over and over and over... However, if I press power and volume down, I get ramdump mode : cause force upload. If I hold both volume button,. I get ODIN MODE. I product name : sgh-t679

Customers binary download: no.. Current kernel : unknown!!

I am able to go in recovery mode. I did a wipe drive/factory reset. But It did not solve anything.

What should I do from here?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] m4rk-w:

Thank you for the info and the link. They have been very useful to me! My phone is back on working properly, although I have a T-Mobile firmware on it!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] m4rk-w:
Ahaha same for me T-mobile firmware on Bell, but i didnt have problem !, but tou should root it and unistall all of those T-mobile apps !
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mantour:
Well, Titanium Backup allows you to ''freeze'' the T-mobile apps, so they will not bother you anymore, especially the tethering manager that prevents you to have your phone as a WiFi-hotspot.

Depends on if you're wanting a phone that can really play games or not. Though, since Sony Ericsson will soon be no more, it doesn't seem likely to me to see a 2nd gen PLAY

I´ve installed ICS 4.0.3. Doctors ROM. Now it doesn´t show up my internal sd card. And now I have to mount my it, the mobile phone says . :confused:

Next I tried to flash again, but the problem is already there.

Backup, doesn´t work.

How can I solve that problem?

Please helpme fast.;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yos123:
I have the same problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetscher:
Problem solved.

/EDIT

Solution for the others:

1.download stockrom, e.g. 2.3.5 gingerbread, & cf root kernel

2.open downloadmode with 3 button combo

3.connect phone with computer

4.start "odin" and put the parts of stockrom in the program.. flash it

DONE! ;)

for flashing a custom rom u have only to flash the CF root kernel ;)

Could someone just confirm I am doing the following correctly.

1. Install rootable Stock ROM via Odin (usb).

2. Root and CWM using "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT".

3. Install Mobile Odin

4. Place Stock rom onto internal SD (ie N7000XXLA1) From here I

5. Upgrade using Mobile Odin. (So I can keep root)

6. Place customer ROM with matching running ROM version on SD. ([ROM] ROCKET ROM - v17 - XXLA1)

7. Run using ClockworkMod.

I'm sure I'm going wrong somewhere, have only tried once and it failed. Had an error because it could not find the .jpg for start and close screens.

Any help or pointers would be helpful.

Thanks

Yep have been using without any issues.

Up until I get to :-

5. Upgrade using Mobile Odin. (So I can keep root) to N7000XXLA1

It keeps showing "logo_qt.jpg" draw failed.

If i try and power down the handset I also get an error "charging_qt.jpg" draw failed.

If i flash the N7000XXLA1 without root using Odin USB this works fine but cant root then :(

Where am I going wrong.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehackersz:
-root your NOTE first,

-download THIS - open

-click already-rooted.bat.

-download ROCKET ROM - v17 - XXLA1 - copy to your sd card

-turn off your device.

-open CWM

-wipe data, cache, etc

-flash ROCKET ROM - v17 - XXLA1 with CWM

-wipe data, cache, etc

-Reboot and you're DONE

follow that steps, you should be fine.

That was my first step when i got my NOTE yesterday afternoon.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] manooti:
I'm another owner of the K1. I've had it for a while now since xmas and I do like it, but I cant get over the locked bootloader. I was hoping to be able to overclock it so apps for school would run nice and smooth but it doesnt seem to be happening.

Do you guys think I should hold onto it and wait for a root with recovery and hopefully some mods? Or just sell it and try to get a tegra 3?

I'm torn between this man because I have a beefy laptop so I dont need a quad core tablet, I just want it to be smooth. Kernels, overclocking and custom roms always did it for me in prior phones, now its like we're forced to upgrade every year :(

shoot me some advice
[Thinkpad Tablet General] timmyDean:
It has already been rooted. Once rooted you can OC all you want.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] manooti:
Thanks for the reply. Just wanted to make sure because the K1 doesnt even have its own category in xda.

So, this wont need a kernel to oc?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] timmyDean:
I do not OC, but have read links saying there are OC tools and all you need is root. So, you'll have to Google it knowing that you can get root and see if that's correct.

TD
[Thinkpad Tablet General] manooti:
timmyDean,

Thanks. Im just hoping to not run into any problems with overclocking it. Ive rooted a lot of phones and overclocked them all.. even overclocked my pc. Since I started I cant stop lol. Its compulsive, i know, but there is a difference in responsiveness so it's not all my my head lol ;)

I'm on A301_13_13_111209_US

Kernel 2.6.36.3

Do you know which method I should run?

Sort of confused in your development thread about using different blobs and updating with OTA.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] timmyDean:
Yup, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21309379&postcount=50

This will flash you directly to 13_13US rooted!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] manooti:
You're the man! I'll be attempting this tonight. Hopefully all goes well.

One question tho, if someone manages to port over cwm, will there be custom roms and so on for this tablet? I saw someone working on porting cwm, but doesnt look too promising.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] timmyDean:
CWM is already ported. I haven't tried it, but according to the developer it works. I have no reason to use it because there's nothing I want to load. I suspect it's just being used to make backups because I haven't seen any chatter on custom ROMS. As far as custom ROM development, who knows. In my opinion these Lenovo are 'junk'. Again, my opinion. Lenovo doesn't want you to modify their devices, so they make it hard to root. They want you to go to them for a custom ROM. We've tried that and it's a joke. We develop drivers and special drivers for hardware and develop several applications for vertical markets. Chances are, if you have a HC tablet you've got a driver buried in there that we wrote (our NDA keeps me from saying who, but I would say every make listed in these forums --if I were to guess). Our vertical applications cannot be sold as a solution to a fortune 500 company with us demanding they buy a custom Lenovo hardware. That has only worked with Government sales because the Lenovo suits convinced them that they are super secure.

Anyway, good luck

TD
[Thinkpad Tablet General] manooti:
Thats some good info man. Now I'm thinking of rooting and throwing it up for sale as rooted and buying a transformer prime :(
[Thinkpad Tablet General] timmyDean:
Also, might I add they seem to want to restrict you and feed you a bunch of their 'bloatware'. A few months back, when they were in talking with our management team they said they were offering a complete solution hardware and software. They want to make money on their Marketplace applications, etc etc. I sort of got the impression they thought that was where the real money was and not in just selling tablets.

TD
[Thinkpad Tablet General] manooti:
Now that makes sense. Theyll never release an unlocked boot :(

This sucks man..

Going to root after ghost adventures ;)

One question before I go all the way with it, whats the procedure for updating with new releases? Best to wait for your releases?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] timmyDean:
New releases, go for it:

This is what I do:

1. Backup my apps because if the OTA knocks out root(#), you have to flash it.

2. I install the backdoor

3. I backup the su

4. I lock the su and backup su so updates HOPEFULLY don't break root(#)

5. Then I take the OTA.

6. After OTA, I reconnect and see if root(#) is still working. If not, I try the backup root(#). If they are both gone, then I hope the backdoor still works. If not then I flash back to where I was. I then ***** at Lenovo and look for a way to hack it.

Anyway, the backdoor and locking of su are in a script file you can run as long as you have adb working. 99% of the time su stays (because you lock it) or the backdoor works. Also, before taking the OTA you can usually download and see what they are changing. If it breaks root and the back door then what I usually do is pull it apart and build a custom system.img. Inside the OTA zip will be the boot.img. You can actually take it and 'cook' it in your kitchen adding root. Then you take the system.img from a prior release, mount it, and replace all the files with the ones inside your OTA. Make sure you account for blob changes if they are in the OTA. If there's a blob, then put it in the blob tool folder, extract it, and add it to the flash and replace bootloader.bin. Swear some more at Lenovo, and flash in your custom ROM. Now ad su and busybox, and superuser.apk. Use the dump tools in dump folder to build a new system.img. Replace your cooked boot.img with the original OTA boot.img and you're done.

TD.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] manooti:
Then ***** at Lenovo some more lol.

Thanks for the tips, Ill try the script if there is a reasonable update for it ie ICS.

For now the root worked.. flawlessly. Thanks for your work man.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] gom819:
Do other owners of the A100 only have 4 touch points like I do? There is an app called MultiTouch Tester to see the number of touch points. On some major retail sites, the A100 is advertised as having a "5 point multi-touch display". I ask as I am still able to exchange mine if this is a defect. Thanks for checking!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
if its a big issue I can post a mod to increase the number of touch points, but it may make touching the display less accurate.
