One of my biggest issues with going to a nonsense Rom(cm6nightly) was the fact that it didn't sync well with Facebook contact profiles. (at least I didn't see or I'm doing something wrong)
But nonetheless, I found an awesome app called "syncmypix".
Check it out. It works great.
Heh? Mine synced everything just fine. It even paired facebook contacts with google contacts. What rom are you running?
Sync my pic didn't work for me, it actually caused my phone problems.
I am running Nightly 29 and I am also having a problem with facebook sync. It syncs, but then facebook craps out and I have to uninstall and reinstall to get the pics back. They don't last long though.
I need to search for a new solution...
Check out the hacked Facebook.apk topic. Searching is fun!

That hacked .apk doesn't sync facebook contact pics though does it? I thought it only synced contact info, which no you do not need syncmypix for. I am using the app with CM6 RC1 at the moment and it has worked great for me. Now of course we have Sense on 2.2 so this may no longer be needed unless you run AOSP like CM6.
The hacked facebook sync or rather allow you to use facebook pix just fine. Although you have to do a little work like manually pick the pics when edit the contact info.

i just flashed over to AOSP 1.6 with gbits and I love it so far, Just didnt read or see anything for it to sync with my facebook. is this possible as of yet with this rom?? like it was with my 1.5 ROM
Yes, there is an app that'll do it for you. I'm pretty sure it's just called 'Facebook Sync'. It doesn't have great ratings but it does work.
you may want to go through and delete anyone you don't talk to on facebook, when i tried to use a market app to sync facebook (i dont remember which one) it pushed ALL my friends to my contacts. if you have a lot of friends then this may be a draw-back for you.
just f.y.i.
SyncMyPix is a free app that will do it. I believe it's the highest rated facebook sync app. I use it with AOSP1.6 as well and i'm really happy because i can't stand not having caller ID pics and I just loved the facebook sync that HTC does, both on my HTC Diamond before, and now the Hero.

Where does SyncMyPix actuall STORE the pictures on the phone?? they aren't stored on the sdcard...
For starters I'm on an HTC Thunderbolt running Android 2.2.
I prefer Facebook For Android over the HTC version, and I'm hoping I can get this sorted out.
I can get my contacts to sync, even if I have to do it manually. However, I'm not sure how to get it to sync correctly for me. For example, when I'm sending texts it shows their picture for each of their texts, but for my picture in the conversation it's just one of those default silhouettes, rather than using my facebook picture.
Any fix for this?
Maybe you could try option "Always sync with facebook" or you could also use
SyncMyPix (App on Market). This will do the job for ya!
not sure how you can possibly like the facebook app better than htc's offering...it doesnt work lol...ive had the same problem you have on like 7 different non-sense roms...and i keep coming back b/c of the integration ...havent tried syncmypix though..sounds interesting
all i know is the picture doesn't automatically sync, you have to attach your pic in the people view to attach your facebook picture
Thanks for the assistance everyone. I caved and I'm just using the HTC Facebook solely for syncing contacts, as it does it fantastically.
Now if only the Facebook for Android had working push notifications.....
yeah, you have to either use the HTC facebook to get your pic to show or make a contact of yourself. I had read it had to be named "ME" but I named mine my full name and I think I did a nickname of "ME". HTC does really have the best facebook sync abilities, one of the few things I miss about SenseUI..
well I tried syncmypix and it works like a charm...so give that a shot if you really are against using friendstream

Great app! solved all my FB pic woes!
I'm using SyncMyPix but it doesnt seem to be syncing correctly. Anyone facing similar issue? It used to work flawlessly, not sure what went wrong.
coming from sense and touchwiz, i'm a little spoiled with the built in facebook sync, so i apologize if this question has already been asked before. in my contacts it recognizes my facebook, however whenever i receive a call or text message my facebook pics don't show up. is there a way to get this to work?
Download the facebook app from the marketplace and have it sync contacts.
That worked for me and all my contact info synced right up.

Its what I did, however its when I receive a call or text message the fb pic doesn't show, its still blank.

I wonder what I did differently because mine all synced and are running perfectly.
The pics show up in contacts, phonecalls, and texts...
Mine is also working fine. All contacts synced and photos showing for everyone.

The names have to match up mostly.. If not, edit contact> join> find contact.
I had the same issue.
I downloaded syncmypix and it syncs your Facebook photos right to your Gmail account and that cleared it up.

google did it
face book if you have synced with your google account it will work. syncing from facebook was stopped by google because they were not using the right api.
...I dont know if this is in effect on froyo 2.2.2 but it was and was highly publisized with gingerbread.
Of course this may be resolved if facebook fixed what ever google had a problem with.

Facebook sync works just fine in froyo. It was only removed on the latest update of gingerbread and it is not yet fixed.

If the sync worked just fine then we wouldn't be having this problem...i installed sincmypix from the market and it seems to work however I feel that we shouldn't need a separate app to get this to work properly.

The weird thing is that the facebook photo appears when I view the contact from the contact list, but when I view my sms threads, the photo is nowhere to be found. Also, when I use HANDCENT SMS, the photos show up just fine.

thanks for this app.. never heard of it till i saw u post the name of it here. works great on my g2x running gingerbread
slightly different problem.
I recently downloaded the FB app for Android. It asked to look at my contacts in order to see who was already on FB so I could add them as friends. There were at least 10 people I don't know. Obviously I have numbers in my phone that no longer belong to the people I know. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to see which numbers these are and either replace the old numbers or delete the contacts all together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yesterday I finally rooted my device and flashed CM7.
One of the few things that I really enjoyed from Sense was the Contact syncing with FB (so their FB profile pictures were in my contact list and appeared when people called), and the dialer allowing me to type names rather than numbers to call contacts.
Are there any 3rd party apps or tricks in CM7 to get some of those features?

Try friendcaster from the market
I got your 10 char right here
Also go to settings/accounts and sync to add which ever fb app your using.

I'll check out the friendcaster. Thanks!
I use the standard FB app, and i've done the Settings>Accounts & Sync options for that but it seems like it didn't really link my contacts with their FB profiles. Thats the main thing i'm looking for.

You can always manually link them from the contacts app. It will suck if you have a lot of contacts.
Open the contact, menu, edit, join and it should find potential matches.
Sucks to do it one by one, anyone know if there is a way to have it run through all and make suggestions like sense does?

If they have the same name it should link itself. I usually have to manually add a few who have changed their Facebook name. Twitter can be added as well as linked in.

NS4G Running ICS kwiboo (sp?) Version 2, Franco kernel
I have about 300 contacts, and probably 150 are friends on Facebook. I don't ever want to sync Facebook contacts with my Google contacts, BUT, would like to selectively sync decent Res photos from Facebook to some Google contacts.
I've seen a couple of apps that might do this,but looking for recomendations. ..especially since ICS really pimps up the contact photos. And low Res photos look awful.
. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
fsync
Just started using fsync. It seems pretty good so far. Can sync photos etc...
are you running ICS?
Haven't tried it on ICS but on gingerbread this app works great:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix
Just tweak the settings to your liking.
Syncmypix is a gr8 application to do it.
It attaches HighRes pics to phone contacts ...
Well try that on it works on ICS
syncmypix is the best i could find for this use.
does the high res bit work, i ticked the box, but still look crap when you go to the people bit
Another vote for syncmypix. Works pretty well.
They all do nothing on ICS, they still look like sh** on ICS.
Only way to have hires picture is to take picture and use on contact, or transfer from PC to Nexus then one by one.
I dont see another less paintfull solution, maybe on official ICS will be better.
Ya, that's basically what I'm doing now.. have a dropbox folder called contactPhotos. Save there then attach. Worst method ever
. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
I've tried syncmypix and it didn't seem like there was any way to manually sync contacts whose names didn't match up perfectly. So my current solution is this:
I sync my Mac address book with facebook via AddressBookSync, and then I sync my address book with my google account (I've got lion so syncing is built in)
I think this might just be what you guys need

Hows the picture quality..

It's hi-res photo Of course, then it sync to gmail at the standard 96*96... But that's a gmail-contacts "problem"!
Does it have controls to only sync fb contact photos that ate existing Google contacts?
Im just making sure cuz its a disaster when it syncs everything based on assumptions. Last time, my gf's info got synched with another girl's photo ..as well as 30 others .. last thing I need lol.

Yes, it can sync only contacts that it's sure that are in your "people". The one that it didn't sync, you can anyway force him to download selectively some contacts (is a new feauture of the latest version) and so then associate with you google account contacts!
