Google Contact Sync: Download
Recently I flash Hero firmware to my little HTC G1, and found the social network integration to be very cool.
But the problem is Hero firmware is so slow so I have to revert back Cyanogen firmware, but I really miss the fact that Sense UI can update my Google Contact with Facebook Contact photo.
After a few days of coding, this is the first release of Google Contact Sync. As of right now it will allow you to manually sync Facebook Contact photo to Google Contact, and allow you to “link” 2 contacts so you can automatically update all Google Contacts later.
This software is provided free of charge. Make sure to link back here if you post GCS anywhere else 🙂 .
If anyone concerns about privacy, you can build your own version of GCS from source code.
NOTE: Some contact’s photos can’t be synced because owners modify their privacy settings. I can’t do anything about it so stop asking me 😀 .
GCS is an approved facebook application. You can go to facebook profile page here:
Facebook application: Google Contact Sync
If you think this little tool worth something, you can consider buy me some beers for my Apple Developer Program license 😀 :
For error report please attach log.txt which can be found at application directory.
