Sync Facebook Contacts with Android

Hi there.

It's been about a month that i realized my Android phone cannot be synched with Facebook account since this phone doesn't have Motoblur account. I am really sad about it because i believe, there will be a time when i need the email address.

So i googled this site, and then found a very simple method on how to synch your Facebook account into your Android contact without software or installation method. Here they are:

1. you must have both yahoo mail and gmail account (gmail account that you use in your android -Harapan).

2 login to your yahoo mail.

3.go to contact - then choose import email from facebook (it suck all your friend email address into your contact list)

4. export yahoo csv. download/save it.

5.login to your gmail (i found that you need to open you gmail account on standard mode as HTML mode doesn't provide you with uploading contact -Harapan)

6. upload the csv file to gmail contact.

I added this one:

7. If you have already register your gmail account on your Android phone, tap your gmail account and tap Sync Contacts.

Taste Swype With Bahasa Indonesia

hi there.

recently, been busy working. um, this time, I would like to share some -which i believe would be useful information on how to type easily on Android set.

have you ever heard Swype input method? Now, It took 2 months to realize that this kind of input method is very useful and prompt. And it also took to a question whether I could use swipe for my own local language, Bahasa Indonesia.

After searching here and there, oficially, there is a hacking apk or a blog that show us how to include Bahasa Indonesia database for Swype. But, here somehow I don't like/want to proceed this way. As you need to root your android. hehe, ga lah yau, ini barang masih garansi, tar kalo ada apa-apa, gimane?!

And then, I choose to find database of Bahasa Indonesia's words (well, you need to unzip the source files and find dict file) and put it into custom Swype word database. But it then came to how to put this database all in one click?! Sorry, I gave up!

So, how can I still use this Swype capability for Indonesian language. Somehow I read the help section on Swype and it says something like these:

"If you want to add words  on your custom Swype database, just select all the words you want to add, and then click Swype logo on the virtual keyboard ".


Now, where could we find a bunch of words of Bahasa Indonesia. Well, it's easy if you know. Just go to www.kompasiana.com or any other site that uses Bahasa Indonesia as their main language.

From those sites, just copy all words from their article. Of course it must be in Bahasa Indonesia. Then, open your Android New Email Message, paste these words, select all of it, the Swype keyboard shows up and then push the Swype button. There you go, we now have our own custom words in Bahasa Indonesia. If you need more, repeat this paragraf to add more words.
