Syncing callID pictures with facebook primary picture?

Is there an app / way to assist me in syncing the callerID pictures on my phone to their facebook primary profile picture like what it does on WP7 ?

Already possible. Just connect an existing contact with the corresponding facebook contact. The pictures should start synchronizing now depending on your settings.

How do I exactly do that?

Well you have to go to Contacts->Add account->Facebook, choose your Facebook contacts and merge them with your Google contacts. Then all the stuff from Facebook should sync with your Google contacts, but it won't back up the Facebook contacts to your account, which sucks
OR, you can get this app called Google Contact Sync, log in to your accounts in the app (Windows app) and it'll sync all of your Facebook friends to your current Google contacts, which works out to be awesome!

When I tap on facebook, I get kicked back to the accounts and sync page... what seems to be the issue here?

no no no don't tap on the Facebook icon in the 'More accounts' section, there should be one in 'Integrated accounts', use that one.
Do you have SNS installed?

Im using Doc's v9 Barebones, so I think SNS is not installed.

Ok so I've installed the SNS application and added the integrated account logged into my face book account and not its like "Loading..." forever..
EDIT:
NVM found it, its gonna be a pain to join the contacts 1 by 1 and they get renamed according to their facebook names ~_~

hi there
i think i have a same problem like u before
but now, problem solved with SyncMyPix (free at the market), the best caller photo sync i ever try
it's very simply, just syncronize it, and u can link with ur contact one by one if don't have exact match name with ur facebook friends
sometimes, it automatically syncron, if u have a exact match on full name or last name
if the picture miss crop, u can crop it manually from the original picture
since the default samsung sync contact can't do that way
notes: u need to set your contact saved as in g-mail account first.
hope it helps

Dont wanna save them as gmail contacts, Can anyone tell me how I can sycn the facebook contacts to my phone and still follow the name on my phone contact lists, come of my contacts follow the name on the phone but a lot of them auto changes to their current FB name..

[Q] [q]Is there a way to auto link contacts?

Just figured out that I can link contacts in my phone with their facebook profiles. Problem is, I have like 200 phone numbers and like 90% of them have facebooks. Is there a way to auto link them?

not sure about on your current ROM. In the CM series, the contacts are linked automagically with Facebook profiles. You could try in your ROM as well.
To get the picture to sync, open your Contacts app, select a contact, Menu > Edit, and scroll down to the bottom, see if there is a Facebook account linked. If so, tap the picture and select "Use this picture". Save the changes and Exit.
This will only work, of course, after you add a Facebook account (Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add Account > Facebook), which only works if Facebook app is installed.
The method above will also sync the pictures anytime they change (ie, if your friend changes their profile pic, the change will sync to your phone).

[Q] google + instant upload

Does anybody knows how to delete instant upload picture on the galaxy nexus

Just go into the google+ app then hit the menu button at the main screen and go to settings. When you scroll down you see photo settings, uncheck the instant upload box.

And delete those pics already uploaded by going to your Google+ account or Picasa and delete them there.

Maybe someone can move the second thread of the op: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437239
To delete the instant upload pictures from your device and the gallery:
1. uncheck instant upload in the google+ apps settings (as mentioned here before)
2. uncheck picture sync in your google account settings on the phone
3. go into settings > apps > all, look for "google+" and "clear data", and just to be sure do the same for the "gallery" app and the "media data storage".
Your pictures should be gone, if not try rebooting and see if they are gone now.

Thank you for the answer i did what you said and the pictures are gone.ps sorry about the 2 treads i did not realise and its only a few times i post a question.thanks again.

[Q] InfiniteView.apk What is it and can it be deleted

I i want to delete InfiniteView.apk, is this needed for anything?, and what it is for, i believe is a higher resolution and animated visualization mode for the contacts, but if i want the contacts in plain mode and save space and memory, can i delete it without problems?
thanks

the the little "infinity" logo u get when u press on a contacts picture, and it shows up all of there info, like extra numbers, emails, address, stuff like that. by all means get rid of it, but u wont be able to see or edit contact details without it (i think)

No you can't, without it you wont be able to select a contact to call I believe; I removed it a few months ago and you can restore it after you remove it so I suggest you download titanium backup and then try using it.

Thanks

Yeah, it definitely messes up your contacts and stops you calling from them.

whay about facebook in infinite view, if i delete facebook, will there be unusable facebook icons on infiniteview?

You can delete anything Facebook. As long as you don't need Facebook. Before flashing any ROM I always delete Facebook stuff. You can always install the app from the market and move it to your SD card, but you won't have any integrated stuff. Or just use your browser.

i mean because i opened infiniteview.apk and saw facebook icons there, if i dont have facebook installed, does this icons appear in infiniteview somewhere as buttons or anything?

You can sync your Facebook friends' contact details to your phone's contacts. Maybe that's why there's Facebook icons in there?

Thanks, i wonder if the facebook contacts sync will stop working if i remove facebook integration and i only leave the facebook app.

Stop Dropbox photalbums showing in Gallery

How can I do this? I want to be able to view the photos via the Dropbox app but I dont want them appearing in the Gallery
Edit: Is it to do with linking device to Dropbox? I dont remember that option being there on my S3 and never had this issue then?
Edit 2: Unlinked device.Put my details in again.Must have missed the tickbox "Upload existing photos"

Settings -> Cloud -> on DropBox synchronization -> Picture and Video off

If it's just the gallery you don't want want them to appear in, you could try putting a blank file in that folder ".nomedia" that stops any images, mp3s etc... showing up in the gallery and music app respectively.

Post 2 is correct
Dropbox images showing in Gallery is a samsung service not dropbox.
It is configured in Menu > settings > cloud

I just want to add that after doing this your photos will STILL get uploaded to your Dropbox account,

And!!!
As this is a sync service, if you delete images from the gallery (dropbox images) it will also delete them from dropbox!

What about facebook pics? How do i get rid of them from showing in the gallery. I tried gallery>view by>Contents in device, but once i exit the gallery and re enter, the facebook albums still show up.

Facebook ones are deactivated in the facebook app itself.
