Hi Res Facebook contact pictures finally :-) - Desire General

Anyone who has flashed their phone to the leaked version of 2.2 with sense should have hi res Facebook contact pic as well as auto sync. So no need to sign in and out of the Facebook app to refresh the contact pics.

Did notice that the other day

hmm im dont think so, the thumbnails are hi res yes, but the pics that come up when somebody rings you they re still pixelated, seems like they're using the thumbnails as source and then just making them bigger makes them bad quality
unless its just me lol

I can't even get my contacts to sync using facebook on MCR r5.

where's the leaked one?? does this not require root ??
Thanks

It's the open desire rom with sense. It requires root.
My images are not blurred when you call someone either.

Using Leedroid - still pixelated when calling or receiving a call - most likely still due to using google contacts & the res limit on that.

I'm running DJ Droid 2.2 and I have the same issue.
i've seen the same issue on multiple froyo rom ... it may be a common problem
Dont help none but I got same problem on Defrost 2.0g with latest radio. No picasa.
On dj Droid the google account mentions picasa (although I didnt check before I installed the gallery 3rd app) and gallery syncs, just can't upload

now using "Pays-ROM Froyo Sense v1.8 A2SD+"
Picasa share not available...
Solved with replacing mediauploader.apk in system/app with the one from defrost 2.5 rom.
Install the FroYo Nexus 1 Gallery and you'll get the option. Picasa is not included by default unless you install the N1 3D Gallery.
I didn't get the option with gallery 3d on some roms. Neophyte has it though.

I think it might be the ROM you're using...
I'm actually with OpenDesire and I have the following options when trying to share a photo: facebook/bluetooth/picasa/messaging/twitter/gmail
I'm not sure about this but maybe is the Galery versiĆ³n of the ROM that might be different...
Its working fine for me with the Stock HTC Froyo upgrade.
I installed the Froyo version of the N1 3D Gallery from this thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653503
And now if I select a photo, and then the share button I get the following options:
bluetooth/facebook/flickr/goggles/googlemail/handcent/mail/messages/picasa/youtube

[Q] 2.3 Update and Facebook photos

Hi again guys,
I have heard that the 2.3 update stops the Facebook integration with Contacts. Can anyone tell me if this is true?
One of the best features of this phone is having the little Facebook photo next to all my contacts, birthday reminders, status updates showing etc.
Will I lose this if I update to 2.3?
Thanks!
Matt
I use custom ROM 2.3 and Facebook photo profile still integrated with my contacts.

Try check yours account with HTC Facebook and Facebook and log-in again and sync all..
I really can't see why it would be any different from the custom roms i've been using. It still works for me I still get all the info from fb linked with my contacts.
Yeah iv noticed it is still there although in the previous rom i was using they failed to show up after a few failed syncing attempts but that just meant i had to reflash and works perfectly
sounds promising then. Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes

Question About ICS People

When you sync your contacts to your Gmail account, and sync them back down, does ICS still replace your high res contact photos with ugly pixilation of the same image like former versions of Android?
Sent from my EVO 3D using XDA App
Yes, unfortunately it does.
Thank you for your answer. Wish it has been different.

[Q] high resolution uploads to faceook

so basically after wasting about an hour im nowhere.. uploaded my first few pictures from my phone and the quality is horrible. is there any way to upload in high resolution?
Try using the email function. I think that worked for me. You can get Facebook to set up an email address for you to email the photos to. I think this will upload them full resolution. Other than that, I'm not sure about any app which may do the same, never really messed with it, but it would be good to know.
i didnt know that function existed? does seem a little slow though.. isnt there an application? what about batch uploading?

Like I said, I'm not sure about any third party applications that may be better at uploading high resolution, I hadn't looked at that before. I know you can send multiple pictures per email though. I found it to be one of the faster ways to upload a batch of files actually.
I haven't used it for a while (mainly cos I'm bored of FB so never go on there) but Friendcaster used to be great for uploading Hi-Res photos. There's a free and a pro version, I had pro and it was much better than both official FB app and the inbuilt Sense FB app

i just uploaded some using gallery and facebook for htc sense
when i look at the images on facebook website, they easily fill my 27" imac at great quality. have you tried that, rather than the facebook app itself?
Try uploading/sharing them using Facebook For HTC Sense....It works great..!!:thumbup:
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
im using a miui rom.. that makes me want to go back to sense so bad! but for now ill try friendcaster
Twitter for HTC Sense
Twitter for HTC Sense doesnt work like Facebook for HTC Sense.
I just took a pic on my One X and uploaded it on both T/FB with their respective apps. Facebook one's a high quality image but Twitter one's not.

Has the HD resolution of synced contacts pics been solved with Jelly Bean?

We suffered from the pixel contacts pics synced from Gmail for a really long time, and Google staff has promised the solution was undergoing. How is that with Jelly Bean? Hope the HD pics could match the resolution of the screen on Galaxy Nexus this time.

Don't think so, as when I flashed Jellybean they were all pixelated. Although when I redo the contact pictures with the originals they end up as the native screen res, so they look much better than ICS, which looked a tad fuzzy even after setting them up fresh
Also it could have pulled the contacts automatically from the SIM card, as I don't usually use the gmail restore feature. I just know all my contacts were there after booting the first time.
Much improved.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
yes, as been solved, now the max resolution is 720x720, in Ics was 256x256
100% better. I told haxsync to resync all pics again and they came in high res.

Did you expect JB to magically restore information from contact pictures that were previously uploaded and re-sized? I would expect the results that you saw.

Exactly.
I actually updated some contacts to high res, and then wiped my phone for other reasons and put JB back on, and the high res pics were saved. Looks like the problem is finally solved.

Do you mean that we should update the present pics in Gmail to HD, then wipe the phone and sync them back?
I've resynced my pix.. but no luck :[

Not sure if that will work or not, but that's not what I did. Rather, I updated my contact pics to high res ones in my people app on my phone in JB. When I later did a full wipe on my phone and put JB back on, my phone pulled the high res photos from Google instead of crappy grainy ones like it used to do.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
My question is ... I use haxsync to do all this but those photos are never saved in my gmail (gmail still uses old photos from my original desire ). How to do it ? I have the grainy photos because of the HTC sense Facebook sync but cant do it anymore ...

I Just uploaded a new contact photo via Gmail/Contacts, let it sync to the phone and the resolution is just as crap as previous before JB ?
still having issues myself.
however i did see that the 720x720 pics were supported but i cannot get them to work for some reason.
on my PC, i got a nice High Res pic of my wife, got it all cropped to my liking, and let it syn over to the phone and it is still crappy resolution.
i have "HD contacts" from the market and this seems to work pretty good, but it takes forever to set everything up on the phone.
So when I get jb on here and I resync my contacts with haxsync or Facebook, the images shouldn't be blurry anymore? Or is this only with images manually saved to contacts?

Maybe the gmail/contacts web upload hasn't be updated and still resizes the image.

That was my experience...if I set the contact pictures from JB Contacts, it worked fine. If I set the contact pictures from Gmail Contacts over the web, they were resized/"pixilated".
To all folks, if you're using JB on your phone, remember it's still a preview...don't panic if not all parts of the experience are perfect yet!

I am having an issue
Hey Guys,
I flashed JB on my GNEX LTE and since then I have not been able to add my pictures to my contacts. Everytime I try to edit a contact picture and save it there is a small message that says the contact could not be saved. I checked all the setting as far as syncing google contacts and it's all enabled. Please help.

Did you allow Google to restore apps and settings after the wipe? I usually want to start fresh but it would be a shame if all the pics are lost in that case.
