So the facebook-app can sync the profile pictures of all my friends which is all neat and stuff, but it only saves the thumbnail - this looks horrible when i call people when using ICS (since the picture covers most of the screen).
Is there any mod to that app, or some other app that can sync the fullsize profile picture of my friends from facebook?
(no, manually editing the pictures through google contacts is not an option since i want the pictures to update whenever my friends change their profile pic)
I would need something like that too.
There are apps like HD caller ID, but there you must add a picture for everyone manually.

Try Facebook contact sync

It worked great for me, the blurry pictures on ICS were really getting to me
You could also use haxsync. Available in the market.

HaxSync is only for ICS, and Facebook contacts sync didn't work for me.
Oh god thank you guys! GOODBYE PIXELBLUR CONTACTS!
Thanks for this!

I used fsync, download from market
it can sync different sizes of the pictures, and you can choose to sync only contacts or all facebook friends
works great

Ok guys and girls I need the best way to sync FB photos to my contacts. Through the FB app it doesn't show the photo when you call but it shows it under contacts. I want to actually replace the image and sync it with google. I've used SyncMyPix but the quality sucks. I bought Full Screen Caller ID but need to get my money back due to no response back from the dev. It shows a nice image when calling but nothing during text or anything so kind of annoying. I want something that will sync as flawlessly as possible thanks!
Umm mine works fine with the FB app. Try changing the setting in the app to sync all see I'd that works. I noticed it worked like that on mine.

So, as you all know, FB can't sync its contacts with your phone from ICS to JB, and there's been lots of hacks/apps to allow this. Back when ICS was barely released, HaxSync was one of the only working apps, and also produced high quality pics.
Fast forward to today, I can't use HaxSync to sync FB contacts, only to sync my Calender. Is this because HTC Sense already implements FB sync? Or is there another reason why it doesn't work? Will provide screenshots if it helps.
Also, reason I want HaxSync instead of the Sense FB sync is because HS produces very high reso pics, Sense produces some very pixelated images, which are made worse by the 720p display.
Any help is appreciated and thanked!
Nvm, fixed it. Had to freeze "Facebook for HTC Sense". Seems this part of Sense kept interfering with allowing HaxSync download/sync my contacts.
Used Titanium Backup Pro in case anyone was wondering.
Does this allow you to have high res contact pictures when receiving phone calls?
Also, does HS sync your fb profile pics everywhere in the phone? Ie, messaging app, contacts, etc.

No high res yet, there's a compatibility issue with sense.
But yes, they show up everywhere, including apps that aren't Sense based, like Go SMS or Ex Dialer. This is the main reason I use HS, because if you sync the contacts directly through Facebook, they only show up in Sense apps.

I don't have this phone yet but I have always used an app for that.

I use sync.me from the play store..
I used to use uber sync... works too.. sync.me seems to do a better job.
Coming from a HTC One X+ with Sense 5, contacts are linked to Facebook/Twitter etc which is really useful and a feature I really miss with pure Android.
So, in light of this I have two questions:
Can it be done with stock Android without a 3rd party app?
If not, is there a better solution than Contacts+? Whilst this app is ok, it's not as refined as I'd like.
Still love the phone though, by far the best I've had! If I can solve this contact linking issue then I'll be happy as Larry!
I use HaxSync for syncing Facebook contacts
For Facebook, I use the sync contacts option from Friendcaster. I don't actually use the app otherwise.
Thanks guys, do either of these apps change anything in the contacts? I.e. Can you see Facebook statuses and things when you go into a contact or does it just keep the profile photo synced?

If I understood your question correctly and you wanna sync your Facebook friend profile pictures with your contact pictures on your phone, I personally use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syncme.syncmeapp and find it quite good, it does what it's supposed to.
