Hey guys, I'm sure this is annoying by now, but I have been playing with different ROMs, and no matter what I do, the ONLY problem I ever have is not being able to get my Facebook Contacts to Sync. I can't call HTC about it because it's rooted. I don't know if I'm the only one on a rooted phone that can't get HTC Facebook to work properly, but I'm not sure who to talk to. I figured if I was at least running a rooted version of the 2.1 OTA, i'd be able to ask HTC for help.

This is the only gripe I have with my phone, and i'd really like SOMETHING to fix it. I don't care what ROM, i'd just like to be able to sync my contact pictures like I do oh so very easily in 1.5.

I can honestly say that I do not have this problem , and I can honestly say I have tried every custom rom out there ....

I've been having the same problems too. The thing is though that sometimes it would work randomly (though not very often). I think I've had it sync my facebook contacts maybe 3 times out of the 20+ flashes I've done. I don't have a lot of friends on facebook either, only 90.

Again, it used to work perfectly on 1.5 :/

Also started having the Facebook Sync problem with Tainted Vanilla today...never had it before and I've flashed maybe 4 or 5 of the ROMS...
Couldn't get it to add Facebook as one of the sync accounts which was also weird...
Going back to EE2.0 since it's the only other ROM that I like...even though it tends to get laggy for me....
My $0.02

Dont do it yet! I have an update.zip that fixes FB sync on TV!
