There is a free app from the market called syncmypix and it works wonders with the new AOKP ICS from "72" to sync facebook to contact pictures. Try it out, and sorry if this was old information, I just recall some people wondering about it.
Thanks. Can u add this to my ics tips n tricks thread?
I will add that to the thread right now!

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...
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.
How come the ASOP roms don't just move to Socialite? It has Facebook & Twitter sync... its both apps in 1.... wouldn't that be easier on the battery? I dunno but I'm using Froyo Sep04 and it works perfect... even add thru accounts

What is Socialite? I did a search on the market and couldn't find it.
How can you get install it on your phone?

Because its a paid app and also to each their own on what app people prefer to use.
Socialite
It's what comes with the LG Ally from Veri... its how they get there fb pics and such to sync.... it works well on ASOP but the inbox doesn't sync with sense
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.

Make sure it's config'd in the FB app too.

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?
get syncmypix from market

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.

Thanks for all the comments everyone!
Go dialer functions the same as the sense one. It can be downloaded from market. "the dev team" is who makes it.

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

Is that link correct?
Lol. The suspense is killing me.

Can you fix that broken link?
Devs have figured out re enabling it. So why can't no one tell us how to enable it or make an update package for us

HaxSync is the best solution that I've tried! Sync the pictures and all the fb status! It has improved a lot with the last update few weeks ago!
Hows the picture quality..
and damn, I really don't care about anyone's status

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!
