Hi all, I've just moved from ViperS sense 4 ROM which had an option under the offical Facebook app to sync contact pictures with only the contacts I had stored on my phone (no importing all my Facebook to my phone book) but now I'm on TouchCream AOKP ROM and that option is longer in the Facebook app. I downloaded an app from PlayStore but it's imported all my contacts from Facebook and hasn't put the pictures on the contacts that are in my phone book only the one's it's imported from Facebook.
Any help would be appreciated.
I used haxsync from the play store and it just synced the photos to my existing contacts. I'm using cm9.

boot into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik, then go to mounts/storage>mount data>install from SD>install file attached. you might have to remove your FB account first for it to sync, do it anyway just to be sure lol...otherwise just use HaxSync

I'm having the problem with Google contacts too. If I add a new picture to my google account it will sync right too my phone but the ones I added before using Odin one click will not sync. Is there a way to force the pics to sync?
I tried to change some info on a contact thinking that might force a sync. The info updated but not the pic.

same question here.
i have disabled facebook syncing from accounts (after linking my contacts) but still the pictures get updated once they are changed on facebook
remove the Facebook account from "Settings > Accounts & Sync" ?
Yes, remove facebook accounts from accounts and sync then restart phone. Check your contacts again if it still has the facebook photos of your contacts. You can add the facebook to your sync account after the problem corrects itself.
What I did is some work but I went manually into each contact that Facebook changed and choose "edit". Touch the picture on the top left corner and choose the Google account for picture source then save changes. I'm sure it changed all of Facebook contacts but I cared about only 6, who are in my Favorites...

The phone replaces Google contact pictures with Facebook ones when you make a certain change in "People". It also replaces Phone pictures with Google or Facebook ones. I'm not sure it does this when ANY change is made to People, or just a certain one (like changing an unrelated contact picture).
It's an annoying bug… I doubt it can be fixed properly :\
Thanks for your replies, deleting the Facebook account in Account & Sync doesnt work as when u run Facebook it asks you for your login info & then just recreates the account...Changing the pictures manually back to google photos works until a resync happens then they get replaced with google ones again...

This method works... as I had the same problem, the only problem is it takes time, if you have lots of contacts.

Good info, Thanks
So I setup my facebook as an account and told it to sync everything. The problem I am having is that the pictures are not being downloaded for most contacts.
I went into the address book and selected to view just facebook contacts and 99% of people who I did not like to a contact did not have a picture. The same could be seen for people's bdays who appear in my calendar.
Anyone have a solution?
Unfortunately, it's a problem with ICS. Facebook and Google are having a bit of a pissing match, much like those between Apple and Oracle. No ICS ROM period can sync facebook pictures without jumping through some hoops.
There are solutions; look for an app called HaxSync on the market, it's a workaround but it does work.
Or as a free alternative, Friendcaster.

I knew about the facebook/google fight but I thought HTC's facebook implementation would get over it that just how alternatives like friendcaster can

its what i use. only downside is that it syncs EVERYTHING so you will have to link contacts to clean up your address book
It's been working fine for me. All of my contacts that have fb are synced and there pics are there

Contacts that have Facebook sync perfectly fine. It's the Facebook contacts, the ones that I don't have linked to my contacts, are the ones that don't have their pictures synced

I think the issue is with the HOX because it doesnt show up on Go SMS either. The only way I got it to show up was by installing this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.

Try to install haxSync application, Go to your settings and under Accounts add your Facebook account using this app. I was also looking for application that will add all my friends with phone numbers to my contact list, but i guess i will have to program by myself
Thank you haxsync works perfectly
I believe that functionality was remove in stock Jellybean, but as was stated haxSync should work.

Good luck with programming it yourself ;P The Facebook API just doesn't expose phone numbers, so the only thing you could do is scrape Facebook's html, which is shady at best and illegal at worst. If it wasn't that way, I'd have included phone number sync in HaxSync a long time ago
Thanks, Haxsync worked for me also.

Is there a way to flash a Rom whilst keeping all personal information such as contact numbers? Sorry if this is a pretty obvious question, I'm new to all this.
It depends where your contacts are stored . Do you sync with gmail?

My contact list is automatically restored from Google. As are my wallpaper and apps.

Unfortunately, many of the numbers stored in my phone do not end up syncing with the contacts in my Gmail account. A few months ago, I had flashed Cleanrom to my phone and I tried to sync with Gmail to restore my contacts, but I ended up losing around half of my contact numbers. The actual contacts were there, but they didn't have phone numbers assigned to them, only email addresses. I want to try installing some mods for CleanRom via Aroma (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1666520) but I'm worried that the situation will replicate itself again.
You can check what contacts are stored in your Google account. This will allow you to know what is synced. Also a phone can generally store contacts in 2 places. Locally and synced to Google. There is usually a way to sync all phone only contacts. I know touchwiz had it as an option in their people app.
