Last I read earlier this week...there is still discussion about whether it really is a transmitter. Then if it is...it is all broadcom and not open source drivers.
[EVO 4G Accessories] heystek:
I just ordered one of these http://www.bestofferbuy.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&inc_subcat=1&search_in_description=1&categories_id=&keyword=3.5mm+Male+to+iPod%2FiPhone+2G%2F3G%2F3GS+Female+Adapter+Cable+-+Black+%2895CM-Length%29&x=0&y=0

I already had the fm transmitter from my iphone, so all i needed was a cheap little adapter. All it does is convert the ipod connecter to a 3.5 jack.
[EVO 4G Accessories] denero1:
hope someone finds out how to exploit built in fm transmitter
[EVO 4G Accessories] Vegasden:
Depending on where your auxiliary power plug is located...I like this concept. FM transmitter, phone holder & charges all in one. Seems like it gets very good reviews.

This is what i've been using:

it works really well and is currently on sale at amazon $21.38 normally $47.91
[EVO 4G Accessories] simplyphp:
I bought that exact one from Target... and returned it the next day. Seems like EVERYTHING interferes, it doesn't let you go under FM88.1, the bass is horrifically BAD, and I get some really crappy signal distortion if my phone is charging while this is plugged in (WTF??)

What I ended up going with is a module that plugs into my XM receiver and gives me a 3.5mm TRS plug, which can either be plugged into my Zune or my phone (or anything...) without having to transmit that signal to a FM station... it's basically straight into the head unit. No more bass issues at all.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ChrisDos:
I know it isn't what the OP was looking for, but I was looking for something along the same path. I purchased a kit to add RCA inputs to my stock '03 cobra stereo and that worked wonderfully. I had a 3.5mm to rca cable plugged into it so I could listen to Pandora. I was reading about Bluetooth A2DP and was looking for a A2DP to RCA convertor. Found a nice little gem, the Motorola T605 hands free with A2DP. I'm going to order it next month and install it.

You just uninstall your built-in Facebook, reboot, then install this one. No modifying your build.prop! Much easier, in my opinion.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] leeh41:
What's different in this version?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Veritas06:
In order to get the FaceBook sync working with CM6 ( & i think any FroYo ROM ) the Facebook app needs to be edited. I'm guessing this *.apk has those edits in place so we don't need to edited Android OS to get sync working with CM6.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ddaratt:
Does anyone know where I can get the stock HTC camera apk at
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BigRick10:
Sense is not Open Source so I doubt you'll find it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
You don't need to edit the build.prop with this hack.

How do you uninstall Facebook? Not giving me the option to
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ddaratt:
Ok thanks I was just wondering cuz I can't figure out how to switch between the front and rear cameras any help would be amazing
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] admorris:
No option to uninstall Facebook here as well...wont let me through root explorer either.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] adelaney:
Take your evo and flush it down a toilet. If you don't know how to remove a system app at this point, you are wasting your phones time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ddaratt:
Some of these ppl that r on here aren't experts and just need some help I dunno how remove system apps that doesn't make me stupid I just don't know to it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] blkout01:
Open your camera, slide down the arrow at the top, go to settings which is the gears looking pic and its the first option *Switch Camera*
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ddaratt:
I can't their is no option for it on the camera app that comes with the cyanogen 6...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Lostx:
When you have camera open... press menu and switch to front camera
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vide infra:
that's pretty rude man.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] blkout01:
Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > click on what you want and then uninstall...this is one of the easiest ways to do it.

Or adb...

adb shell

mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

cd /system/app

ls

This brings up a list of all the apps where you can find what your looking for and use your next removal command.

rm -f facebook.apk

You might want to clean your cache after removing it as well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] blkout01:
hmmmm....sorry man not sure what he is using then.

For all the useless posts in this thread...

Nobody ever covered WHAT THIS SYNCS!

- Is it contacts?

- Is it the calendar?

- Is it your friends updates?

- Google contacts receiving profile pictures from facebook?

WHAT?

I mean, we covered being a complete noob and how to be a jackass to each other, but nobody answered post #2.

ALSO, my Google voice contacts started receiving profile pictures again yesterday, so I don't imagine that's what this is fixing. I just did an Nandroid backup, then replaced the old facebook with this one.

SO, to answer post #2's question - AND MY OWN...

Upon opening this facebook app, agreeing to ToS and signing in..

It asked me "Sync friends with Contacts", options are:

[ ] Sync all (Sync data about all friends to Contacts)

[DEFAULT SELECTED] Sync with existing contacts (Sync data only about friends already in Contacts)

[ ] Don't sync (Use information about friends only in Facebook)

I opted to Sync all, because I use Dialer One, which does not display Facebook contacts as "dialable contacts". When I open my Contacts app (stock app), I can see all my contacts including ones from Facebook - that's what I want.

Also, I wanted to test out Pure Grid Calendar Widget now to see if I was able to view Facebook calendar entries. That was broken... and still is. What I'm referring to is, when you go to "Select calendars to show", it used to include the facebook calendar. Now it does not give that option - so calendar syncing is not happening from facebook still.

I know it used to work without me doing any complicating syncing, maybe it was using HTC Facebook for Sense, as I was still using a sense rom when it was working.

Ok, so I'm doing this (as the developer of pure widgets suggests):

https://koxx3.wordpress.com/2010/06/09/show-birthdays-dates-in-pure-calendar-pure-grid-calendar/

Took about 15 minutes for it to finally updated, but it's all showing now.

So overall, I'd say this is worth replacing your current Facebook apk for the real sync functionality. Hope this helped someone.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nonpointtruth:
For those having issues removing the stock apk with Root Explorer...

Make sure you switch from "mount r/o" to "mount r/w.. "

After doing that, just long press on the apk and viola! An option to delete it!

I can say this works very well

unlike facebook for sense this doesn't pull numbers for people you don't already have in your phone :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
"Sync all contacts" doesn't do this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mikem717:
i think that may be everyone's problem. up until i believe yesterday, i could goto my people app, click on the globe in the bottom, then select facebook, and my facebook phonebook would show up. as of yesterday, no dice. and idk why. i click refresh and it says its loading for about a minute, then says connection error. i believe it has to do with facebook itself, as i wiped clean and flashed a rooted stock rom on and it did the same thing...i just hope it gets fixed soon...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] masterninja:
Thanks for this. Does work.:)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Lostx:
Thanks for this. Was able to do it with ES file explorer using a similar setting

Will this work with the damage control rom?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] admorris:
Worked like an absolute charm...VERY much appreciated. These nightlies have progressively been getting more and more stable...I love it!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
You have native Facebook sync though Sense. Why would you need this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mast3rpyr0:
If you can edit the apk, can you make it so it either allows editing the numbers pulled from facebook, or not adding peoples numbers that are like "Ask me!" or something thats not actually a number?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tomp517:
I did the hack and everything seem like it worked BUT my contacts haven't synced yet. It says its doin it for like a minute then stops. What am I doin wrong?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Try giving it some time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tomp517:
I did the hack yesterday.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JuggZaPoppiN:
Because currently there is an issue with facebook sync not working.

Something about server issues, etc etc.

Thought this was a fix for it.

Sorry :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] garekinokami:

YAHOO! Well, Sync is working for me and I'M SO HAPPY WITH CM AND FB! WHOOHOO! God, this is SO great!

And to the rude guys, jeez, I've only had one Android phone and yes, I managed to get alot of stuff done without asking too many questions, but please, take it easy on us newbs. It isn't easy to understand things at times.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrhankey184:
Besided on the title I assume this only works on Cyanogen Mods? Or does this work on Sprint EVO Android 2.1 OS/UI
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Why don't you be the test monkey? As far as I know, this was made for AOSP ROMs because stock ROMs have Sense sync. I don't know why it wouldn't work, but I also don't know if it will work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrhankey184:
haha, i figured someone might have tried it already that has a stock ROM.

If it didn't work it would be smart to ask before I go and do something that might harm the phone or just wait for facebook to work out there issues.

is there a mirror? my DL sits at Starting...

Oh and if you have Titanium, use that, delete the original FB, restart phone, and install new FB apk.

Hmm, I can't seem to get this to work. I'm pretty sure I completely removed the original facebook, but when I try to install the new one using an app installer it keeps saying that it failed to install. Any idea why? Thanks peeps.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Use adb remount first. Also, Root Explorer will make your life a thousand times easier.

Did you reboot? Also make sure you don't have another Facebook.apk in /data/app.

I cannot get this app to install, uninstalled original using titanium backup, then tried to install this, no go.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jykinturah:
Check your app drawer for Facebook. If there is, it is likely that Google's auto-app sync business installed it again. Just uninstall it again and it should work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] flyingwolf:
I tried to install within seconds of uninstalling, it did bring it back after a few moments of course, but at the time it was definitely gone.

Got this to sync up the photos to contacts, but how do we get this to sync up the FB calandar? Is that possible yet? Or are we stuck with the workaround of syncing up the FB calandar with the google calandar, and just syncing that for now?

yep rebooted. even installed this one again and removed it and still no luck. in the market facebook is saying manual update required.

Hi there.

As the title reads I got a 3mm long scratch on the display of my galaxy ... the scratch distorts the colours, so it's quite annoying once you notice it (and it's particularly annoying on brighter backgrounds) ... I have absolutely no idea how it happened, as I am using a bag for it all the while it's in my pocket to prevent it from getting scratches...

Soo, my question:

Is there anything I can do to "fix" the scratch?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcharng:
Once scratch happens, then it pretty much stays there.

Sometime a screen protectors can help hide the scratches make it less noticeable. Other than that there are no way to fix it I suppose.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter666:
Good screen protector hide all scratches.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spenceee:

If the scratch isn't too deep then you may be able to polish it out with some wet/dry sandpaper.

But you may damage the touch screen if you go too deep.

For ****s sake DO NOT take sand paper to the touch screen!! what kind of advice is that?

once scratched, that's it. if it really annoys you, you'll have to replace the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spenceee:
Wet/dry sandpaper is how a clear coat is polished on a car. As I said if it isn't too deep then it's an option. What you are saying is that you are screwed anyway and have to replace it. If the OP is already at that point of frustration, then they could at least try before having to replace the screen.

Last resort before accepting your screen is stuffed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcharng:
At first I also thought what a silly idea to use sand paper on glass.

But after googling the web and quick research, it can be done!

Using high grit silicon carbide wet/dry sanding paper can remove scratches from glass.

Though, I wouldn't try it my self but thanks for the pointer.

here are an example of what can be done:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcharng:
Screen protector I would recommend to hide the scratches is the Zagg invisible shield.

It is made of polymer that kinda adhere to the screen very tightly help smooth over scratches and make them less noticeable compare to other brand.

BIG BIG DISCLAIMER:

Zagg invisible shield is NOT for everyone. The polymer material can feel sticky and a bit soft. So be warned, it is a love hate relationship when it comes to zagg.

You got only one small scratch, that's nothing :)

Even that i had the first scratches on the second day i owned the device i will still not make it look ugly with some silly shield. Im expecting a year out of this device, and don't care if it's scratched when that year is gone.
