Sync pictures without fb app? - HTC Aria General

Does anyone know how to sync Facebook pictures to your contacts without having the official fb app? The official app is quiet frankly garbage and just a waste of space on my phone.
Thanks.

[request] picasa app

Hey, i am looking for a good Picasa app. So far I have tried Picasa tool pro, but its not possible to choose wich folder I would like to upload to.
Anyone know of a good Picasa app?
If you can,search for the nexus 1 3d gallery app. It not only shows your online Picasa albums along with you phone albums,it uploads to existing/ new albums too

I've got this, adn it's great, but I can't upload to Picasa from it. The share button pops up a list (gmail, sms, facebook etc etc) but not Picasa...
Tried both of them, and non of them let me upload pictures to picasa.
Dont know if its because of the ROM im using, its SetROM 3.6 and it already have 3D gallery. Dont know if that is a problem. Is there anything i can do to get the gallery app with picasa upload, anyone know?
Per
I'm using opendesire official froyo sense rom, gallery 3d picasa features is working. I can upload to new album or add to existing album

Nexus S 4G and Facebook sync

Is anyone able to sync your Facebook contacts with your Nexus S 4G using the Facebook android app?
I own both the EVO 3D and the Nexus S 4G. The EVO 3D does sync contacts using the Facebook android app. In the Nexus S 4G I don't even have the option within the Facebook app to choose sync.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
For some reason the NS4G doesn't. Look for a free app in the market called Facebook Sync seems to work well.

Misconception evo syncs facebook through sense. Google cut it off since facebook doesn't allow exporting of info

ICS Poor quality contact display picture

Hi guys,
Ive got a nexus s running ICS. The problem I have is that as I keep my contacts sync with gmail, the display picture of the contacts is very poor! some of them are so bad that its difficult to tell who he/she is.
Can anyone please help me fix this problem? I have read some forums and people have commented that this is fixed in ICS but clearly it isnt as I still have the same issue.
Thank you
Saud
There is an app called haxsync on the market. It syncs your Facebook photos to the contacts, and they look great

It's caused by syncing with Google contacts. There's nothing you can do aside from syncing with Facebook (which AFAIK, suffers the same problem).

thanks for the quick reply.
Im not really a facebook user. Are there any other alternatives? I usually get my photos from picasa. Is there anyway I can get them higher quality?

Only way is to add them in manually on a contact by contact basis via gallery.

or you can back-up them by Titanium backup, and then restore. Quality will be the same.

They really do look fantastic but contact pictures that were taken with the camera still look awful
But haxsync really does make a gigantic difference

This is true. If you manually assign contact pictures AFTER your contacts have been synced, they will stay hi res. A PITA, but it works.
an alternative is Friendcaster that has an option that allows the use of high resolution images, it is also best of the original facebook app.
Is there any alternative app for non-facebook users?
I would hope so, but afaik there isn't any.

Contact pics in ICS

Hi ! Someone tell me why Contact pics in ICS is so smudgy and distorted ? Miui rom had great Contact pics . Maybe like this in future ? GT-I9000 using XDA
i think it's because of the sync with your google contacts.. google resizes your contact pics

Gmail only sync a lower res of your contacts picture. If you want higher res, just sync with google+ or facebook

We have to wait for google to update their contact. If your friends are using Facebook or Google+, you can use its picture. This is not the problem with the phone, it's the problem with the server handle the sync.

Is it even possible to have a Google+ account without my contacts knowing that I have one? I want the high res pics, but I hate social networks. There are also people that I don't want to have any contact with.

Just don't add them to your circles. And if you want high res pics, manually select them for your contacts.

+10 on this
this is a major major problem for me too i hate having the low resolution pics .. makes my phone looks like it was from 5 yrs ago .. i have used several 3rd party apps and they always cause some delay or lag before the phone rings or shows the pic ..
and even if i add Google+ most of my contacts with gmail havent signed on to get a plus ac ...
wish some dev would help us and find a fix for this (plsss) .. or google does so instead .. wasnt it better resolution in GB or Froyo ?
Er... the only trouble I see with this is that almost no one I know uses Google+.

Nexus 4 Facebook sync

Hi All
I would like to know how to sync my contacts with Facebook. I need the profile pictures as contacts' picture.
Thanks for the help in advance
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
best sync app i know of
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
HaxSync is hands down the best contact sync for facebook. It will let you pick how accurate names have to be (similar spelling or exact, and everything in between), cropping the face, if the picture they have is too big and all in HD (no low res pics). Also lets you sync facebook calendar and contacts birthdays into their contact card and their timeline statuses.

Thank you all. Why Facebook does this sync? Isn't there a setting for that?

There's a LOOOOOOONG running issue between FB and Google over all of this...Google it for more info as it's too long to get into here!
Just a quick question..
Does these apps incorporate all those Facebook contacts into our phone's contacts which aren't there at present?
As in I have a number of Facebook contacts which aren't on my phone and i don't even want them to sync.... Just want the pictures of people in my phone through Facebook.

Ditto this. Plus, it is easy and quick to manually add/change a profile picture from FB to Google contacts. And this actually works better since on occasion some people insist on having a goofy @SS profile pic.
