Just downloaded the Facebook Album hotfix where you get an extra Facebook tab within Albums to look into your FB friends album as if they where on your phone. Works nice and neat....!!!
Is this possible for Picasa..?? So you would get an extra Picasa tab (just like the FB one) so you can look into your own and your friends album..!! That'll be cool cause I can show everyone in an easy way my Picasa pictures..
Thanks in advance..!!

Highly unlikely seeing as how the Facebook Plugin is directly tied to the Facebook Engine package and Social Networks Engine. Neither of which are designed to support Picasa.
I would like to ask to community to help out in a request to a developer.
Some of you many not know that the 3d Gallery app on our phones is NOT present in all 2.1+ android devices. While the Gallery itself maybe present access to Picasa is missing in some Sense based roms.
There is a fix for this being developed and is available in the market under the name, 3D Gallery. Here is where I would like you help.
At present the dev is doing nothing more then trying to make a clone of the gallery. He has just added Picasa access, but you will need to give the app your log-in details. This is not something that many users are willing to do as Picasa generally speaking is tied to the users main account.
What I would like to see is the dev give access to Picasa public galleries through username alone along with the ability for full access if both user and pass are given. Granted you will not be able to upload if user and pass are not given, but thats not really a big deal.
I think the one thing Google overlooked with the 3d Gallery was the ability to view albums you mark as favorites in your account. This app has the ability to give us this function, we just need to let the dev know that we want it.
This would be the PERFECT way to share wallpaper with each other, without the need to actually take up any storage on the phone itself.
I know Im not the only one that wants this, so please help out.
Send a copy of the following petition to the devs email address.
Email: support at flikie dot com
Copy petition below
I fully support the petition to add access to selected Picasa public albums inside of your 3D Gallery app. Access to said galleries should be entered through username alone and/or full web address.
Adding the ability to view public galleries gives us the perfect method to share wallpaper in a way that does not require using the phones storage.
Thank you for considering our request.

Reviving a pretty old thread here.
Is there anyone with the coding know-how to get this to work? I've been looking for a solution and even looked at some of the source code for the gallery files, but then quickly realized I had no business in there.
What I'd like to see is any albums that are shared with me or people who I'm "following" through Picasaweb are synced to my phone and visible in Gallery.
Any takers?
When I go to my Pictures hub, I do not see any of the albums that I have from my facebook like in other WP7s (it should have an album titled "from facebook"). It's been synced and everything else works fine, anyone have any ideas as to what the issue is?
Did you ever work this out? I have exactly the same issue, and really do not want to hard reset if I can avoid it. I have tried removing and re adding the facebook settings. What else can I try?
Just to add, I have now hard reset the device and entered my login info from scratch, and I still do not get my facebook photos showing in the pictures hub. I have not changed any settings in facebook. Can anyone suggest anything else I can try?
I had my facebook albums show up in picture hub. One day they just vanished. So I deleted my facebook account in 'email and accounts' in Settings menu and then re added it again in Contacts and the albums came back. So far they are still there.
Thanks. I've deleted and added the account quite a few times now both from 'email and accounts' and the applications -> people menu with no joy. All my contacts, my news feeds and the 'what's new' pictures work fine. What else could be the problem?
I never had my Facebook pictures showed up in the picture hub.. Didn't even know that could happen... I don't know how to make it work..
My question:
If I add facebook account, will it ask me to add or not to add FB contacts to my contacts? I just don't want any of my FB contacts to be in my contacts hub...
How does it work?
if you add facebook, it automatically pulls everyone to contacts and tries to tie as many to your current contacts stored in windows live. you can hide ones it didn't tie, but that's it. you can't choose what to sync.
I really wish that I could help you guys with the facebook pictures things (Though for me the only pictures that showed up are the ones the I uploaded... not ones that others did, and I know if you go the the pictures you want you can save them to your phone,) but if you don't want your contacts to be synced with FB go to Settings>Applications>people and hit the option that says "only add facebook info to existing contacts"
Hope that helps!
Just an update on this. I hard reset again, and it's working as it should. Bit of a hassle, but happy now
I figured out how to get high res contact photos.
First you need ICS
Have a google plus account and google plus on your phone
Create a folder on your computer called contact photos
Load all your contact pictures into this folder
Put this entire folder onto google+ picasa web albums
Have google+ picasa web albums synced to your phone with the google+ app
You should see in gallery an album called contact photos
Manually link all of your contacts to these photos
Now all of your contacts have high res photos! Its kind of time consuming but its finally a work around the stupid google blurry pictures. I have spent countless time googling a work around. I hope this helps everyone out!
They are working on it as we speak. Thanks for the feedback and suggestion, but personally I think I'll wait until I can manager higher resolution photos directly from GMail Contacts. Saves any future hassles
i hope they fix this!!! i hate low res contact pics.
It's not exactly a fix... but I've gotten many of my contact pictures in high res through Facebook and HaxSync. As long as you have them as a Facebook friend, you can at least see their face clearly with this
The only problem is, if you have to blast your contacts storage or switch phones for any reason, the pictures that get synced back down from Google are the low res versions, then you have to manually re-do the photos all over again. It's disappointing that Google has taken so long to fix what seems like a relatively simple issue.
The other suggestion from Google was to sync your G+ contacts to your phone, but most of the people I contact via text or phone aren't actually on G+, and most of the people I have as contacts in G+ I don't communicate with outside of professional social networks.

Manually choosing pictures for each contact is not a fix!
I have put together a tiny app that syncs the photos on the phone to picasa web thus preserving its quality. Of course you need to have choosen a high resolution photo on your phone.
This being probably my first post, I can't include a link so have a search of it on Google Play and if you found it useful, post the link yourself.
Search for "Contact Photo Sync" on Google Play (remember to include the double quote marks in your search).
I've also released the code under GPLv3. To get the code, search "contactphotosync" in github.
Hope this helps some of you
That is supercool!

^ THIS
THAT APP did a good job for ICS AOSP user,
which google failed to provide.. :good:
i personaly dont like another app solution,
which syncing it with FB photo.. even though it's HD.
FB photo profile sync just sucks big time..
i simply don't want my friends picture on my contact phone is just like:
Cat, Guitar, Car or natural scenery,
or maybe his / her picture but way too far from camera..
which s/he set as profile picture on FB.
that app really good, suits my need, which i can't found for months..

Hi everyone!
I have lost a lot of photos I was tagged in by my old friends on Facebook. I don't know why. I think my friends have deleted them.
To solve the problem, I have developed an application to help me view my photos on facebook and backup them if I need.
Now, I share it to you.
If you like this application, please try and give me your review.
Main feature:
- Load photos you are tagged in.
- Load photos in your albums
- Backup photo into Gallery, Dropbox and Drive.
- Share directly to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc...
Download here:

I'm continue develop it. If you have any suggestion. Please tell to me here. Thanks a lot.
