I had my Google account setup to sync all data including photos and contacts. After downgrading, all my photos and contacts got lost. How do I recover them?

You will not lose your contacts as long as they're synced with google. Every time you flash you have to sign back in, and it pulls all of your contacts. It's nice.

yeah what he said. also the app "AddressBook for Android" will backup your contacts. However if you use this to restore them it dupes b/c of the sync with Google. Slightly annoying so I ditched its slow laggy bugginess for the stock dialer/contact manager. I found an app to sync my contacts to facebook- that was the only real feature I dig about addressbook, and even that was sketchy.
also NitroDesk for android (outlook exchange sync) will backup your apps but its $20....
i have been looking around the internet and cant find a good way to backup my contacts with google. can someone point me in the right direction??
I believe they synchronize automatically.

Over there.
Seriously what do you mean though? They back up to your google account. Do you want to back it up else where also? You can export all your contacts right from Gmail.
If your contacts are google contacts they automatically sync. If they aren't I believe there are some apps in the market that will change your contacts to google contacts.
When you setup a contact in you phone all you have to do is make sure that you have Google Contact selected instead of hone:
Gmail ~= BIS only better.
Do you have a Google account? You need to sign in on your phone and all your Google contacts should be in your phonebook

you would sign into google like the startup procedure in every freshly installed rom involving a wipe.
i i see and they will still be on there from last time saving them right??
i went to sign in and look at the phone book. there is no phone book. Do i sign it into mail on my phone??

It can take a bit of time for the contacts to come through, but when you originally did the setup as long as you used your gmail, it will backup and restore for you once it loads everything and checks and syncs
You could also go to settings> accounts & sync> Make sure the top 2 are checked and your gmail account is there. If it is click and make sure contacts are checked and then click sync.

I'm using HaxSync already but it creates new account and stores pictures in it's own. Are there any app takes photos from fb and overwrites them to google contacts?
Check out HaxSync's Advanced Settings
There are 'n' number of such apps
I believe HaxSync already does that for you, but if you want a free alternative, you can try some of these...

Yes there is an option for it in HaxSync but it didn't work. For me at least. Also it says, "overwrite photos stored in google" So maybe it only changes if contact have a picture before sync. I didn't comprehend this fuction properly yet :silly: Trying your suggestions too now.

HaxSync writes the new pictures into the Google Contacts on your phone. It might take a while for the Google Sync to sync them back to the Google Servers.

Call me stupid, but where do I find the advanced settings.
In fact, I saw them one time, even could manually assign some pictures, but now it's gone.
I open Haxsync, it asks me what to sync and that's it.
Edit: Yes, call me stupid. Found it in the Accounts
Today while I was on a foreign wifi access point, my contact photos all decided that they were too cool for me. Google contacts still shows all the contact photos, but the phone either has blank ones, or defaults to google+/skype profile photos. I can't sync contacts to make them reappear on the phone either. Anyone know what this might be?
Bump. Mine did this yesterday and I have no idea why. I'm running stock rooted 4.2.3 or whatever. I noticed that "People Details" is stuck trying to sync and hasn't sync'd since 6/25/2013.

Hey man. Just wipe you contacts and contacts storage data in settings -> apps. It worked for me.
EDIT:
For all future readers, you'd only need to delete the data for contacts storage.

No problem man, I'm glad I could help.
I found out something very curious. When I have skype installed on my phone, and it's set to sync contacts, it makes all the contact photos blank, and defaults to either google plus' photos, or skype's photos. Anyone else have this problem?
My contacts pictures disappeared the moment i updated to latest android.. But then i put then again.
