As you probably have noticed facebook sync doesn't work with ICS and it's people app at the moment (no wonders there...).
Is there already any apps that would provide atleast contact photo sync to the ICS's People app?
I used syncmypix works well

Hey, can anyone who has used this app answer a few questions?!
- Does this overwrite any of the contacts which already have pictures? Such as the ones I have linked to G+ accounts?
- Does it alter the contact info in any other way?
- Can you sync people 1 by 1, manually?
- What is the resolution like?
Thanks!

- No only picture
- Yes
- Don't know

Its not ****ty lol. Its fine if you dont sync your contacts with Google cloud.
It doesn't matter what you use to add contact photos. As soon as you sync your contacts with the cloud, it uploads all of the photos online, which then get shrunk to 96x96 for your online contact browser.
These are then for some reason pulled back down to the phone. Unfortunately, theres not a way round it as of now

I can't decide what's worse, the **** photos or the crap default picture that has a decent resolution!
This is real depressing, the low Res google contact pics have been messing with my phones for 2 years...I assumed when I saw the new high Res contact pics for ics that Google's stored resolutions would be updated to match. Guess ill have to keep it unsynced, which always means I end up losing phone numbers when I forget I did that and flash a new rom heh.

I don't see any option for resolution?
I don't think there's an option for resolution change. This has been a long time issue with Gmail contacts which by now I believe the Gmail team is leaving this out intentionally.
You can still have high resolution pics for caller ID but you have to give up the sync to Google feature.....just save the contact to your Phone, instead of linking it to your Google account.
Download pictures of your friends from Facebook manually, and adding them to your phone manually....yea I know, a real big hassle but then you have your high res. pic, I did this to my favorite contacts only.
- Can you sync people 1 by 1, manually?
How can i do this?
Friend caster seems to work well for me, and pretty high res icons too. Also if you are willing to pay haxsync

Friendcaster is great and it gives you the option of using high res photos for contacts in the settings!
+1 on friendcaster, works great
I use hax sync. Its syncs status updates that appear in the people app like the g+ and twitter integration and high Res photos. Really the best app in my opinion

just downloaded haxsync 1.4.1 and im having issues syncing past the A Contacts
was wondering if anyone has found a fix for this or knows whats up?
the XDA Link from the Android market page is dead
HaxSync issues
I am also having issues with HaxSync and was looking for the developer's thread here on XDA but it seems to be removed.
I am currently running 1.4.3 version of HaxSync on Galaxy Nexus and the first time it synced the contacts everything was fine. Then I swapped batteries in my phone and I am now missing contact pictures. The contacts are still synced with HaxSync, but half the contact pictures are gone.
just updated today to 1.4.3 everything synced but i think i've got some battery drain issues now

Yes, I am seeing this as well. Like 2 hours on battery and was at 50%.
Also, if you want to test out my theory, try pulling your battery and when you boot back up I wanted to see if all your contact pictures were still there or not.
correction MAJOR Battery drain issues 50% in 2 hours, had to uninstall
to late on the battery screwed everything up when i uninstalled had to redo all my contacts

Yep, I am trying friendcaster now, but cant seem to get HiRes photos on ICS
im just going to hold off for now, apparently this facebook sync issue is supposed to be fixed in ICS 4.0.3 whenever that finally pushes out, friendcaster is like syncmypics it works but doesn't allow high res stuff
no drain here guys.

The hi-res pictures issue is an issue with GMail not allowing hi-res photos. If you notice your contacts with Google + have great looking photos, but the others do not.

The contacts that are linked with Google+ in my people app STILL have pixelated pictures.
HaxSync is great... However, since I used SyncMyPix, it actually downloaded the picture and inserted it into the contact that way it was available when I went to my Google Contacts on my desktop computer.
Which brings me to my next point, apparently contacts will use whatever picture is stored on your Google Contacts instead of any service trying to sync over top of it. So now I have the option to REMOVE the pictures completely from the contact and then allow HaxSync to 'faux' sync them or just stick with the low quality version till something more suitable works.
Incidentally, does anyone know of ANY program or extension or anything that will sync the profile pictures from Facebook to Google Contacts? I found one called Google Contact Sync, but it grabs the low quality version instead of taking the HQ one.
Anyway, hope someone can help out with any of that.
Android will use the FIRST photo a joined contact has...
So, if you have low-res photos from Google and add hax-sync on top, then you are stuck with the low-res photos for any auto-joined contacts.
However, the reverse is true... if you have hax-sync contact and then add Google contacts, it will continue to use the high-res photos from Haxsync.
So, the solution is, delete your Google account from "Accounts & Sync," Sync your haxsync account, THEN add your Google account back in.
If you have any duplicates with slightly different names that don't get auto-joined, make sure you start with the Haxsync version of the contact when you do an "Edit > Join" to select the Google version. This will retain the high-res photo.
You can simply chose which pic to use for the contact.
-> chose contact
-> menu -> edit
-> in the edit menu, you should see all the accounts linked to this contact
-> tap on the picture next tu HaxSync
-> chose "Use this picture".
Voila!
^^^^ True, but then you need to do it for each and every contact individually. If you delete your Google account and re-add it, it will automatically keep the high-res pic as the default. Much easier.

Ummm, it's also used no data, so apparently it's not syncing anything for you.
Did you go to accounts & settings, and add your hax sync account, then go into the account itself and check the sync box? because the app doesn't do anything if you don't do those steps.

Ended up doing this for all of my contacts. :l
Also, is there anyway to actually SAVE the pictures into the Contact so it's ALWAYS there? Or will I have to wait for SyncMyPix to do it.

the battery life was probably terrible if it used this much :/
That's crazy! Have you mailed the developers? It must be images or something, text couldn't add up to that. Maybe leave it connected to your wifi and run wireshark or something (if you've got an adapter that will run promiscuous mode properly) - maybe you can see what it's doing...

Images? Forget about images, this has to be downloading high quality videos to get to 9GB.
I have some serious security concerns about what this app is doing. You should try to sniff the data and see how much its sending versus receiving. I'd be curious to know what IP addresses it is communicating with. Did you install it directly from the market?

Hi,
I am the dev of this app.
1. when you have such trouble, please contact me by email (hopefully somebody did).
2. check if it load images and images sizes. It doesn't load 'thumbnails' from the websites, but full images if thumbnails are not available ... so, if the website use big images of 2Mb ... it can goes quickly.
3. disable widget cache if it was enable
4. here is my widget with 3h refresh period and 8 feeds :
http://pureapps.planethoster.org/images/presentation/pne_data.png
5. if you use the internal viewer, all browsing you does in the viewer is counted ... video streaming, downloads...
@deekjx : For comments about 'security concerns', dump the UDP/TCP trafic if you want, there is nothing hidden. But, please, be careful before publishing such comments. Now, if the app doesn't come from the market, you can be right... few users reported Pure calendar hacked bersions containing viruses because they got it from a 'forum'.
Please, email me logcats just after a manual refresh to check what is wrong.
Same for me too
Switched to manual update worked fine. contacted dev through market
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can suggest an solution to an issue I am having with my Galaxy note 2 when I try and share a picture directly from the Gallery.....when you are viewing a picture and hit the share button I am given 6 options only (bluetooth, ChatON, G Drive, Dropbox, Email and Facebook)....but no option for sharing via Gmail.....is this normal for a Samsung phone?? I'm more used to Google Nexus handsets, and they certainly have a Gmail option available in the share list.......I'm surprised I cant find this on a Samsung, as the OS is Google's own OS...albeit with the Samsung TouchWiz interface on top.
Any thoughts/ideas??
Thanks!

Probably a silly question, but you do have gmail set up as an account on the phone, right?
I found when i first started using the phone that my options for sharing were limited but as i've added more accounts and more apps they've all been added to the sharing list. built in mail app, gmail app, whatsapp, wordpress, instagram, dropbox. None of them were in the list at first until the accounts were set up.

yes, it's installed...i actually received the alert that you replied to this thread via gmail...the odd thing is, i had the hotmail app installed but not setup and it gave me the option to send via hotmail. when i selected hotmail it walked me through the setup and then sent the pic.
i tried to uninstall gmail and reinstall but it wouldn't allow it...

This was going to be my next question. It seems it will only allow you to share a picture if it is stored locally, except with very limited options. Picassa photos on mine will only share via;
bluetooth
chatON
google+
instagram
messaging
picassa (why, its already on there?!)
S Note
whatsapp
wordpress

It is quite frustrating. Although from within dropbox app you can share via whatever means ... and you can setup cloud backup from the settings menu to use dropbox and sync photos. So this is one option. But even then you cant share a dropbox photo directly from the gallery.
Seems odd to me that there is no official google picasa app too

yeah, that is a known issue from where it was originally pulled from.
also, my camera shortcut doesn't seem to work.
and, wasn't sure if this was only a HTC first thing or what, but i dont get a pop up notification (not the chat head things) for any notifications like Gmail or calendar. I remember seeing that in the presser, but think it might be a facebook home optimized device exclusive thing.
working pretty good on my phone. I am impressed with facebook's implementation here though.
if i didn't absolutely Despise facebook, i would probably use it. if there was a G+ home, i would probably be all over it.

I like how the OP posting about a Facebook leak is using Tom's profile picture from MySpace as an avatar, lol.
Downloading now, but from the looks of it, it doesn't work anymore? Also can I install just the Facebook apk? No home launcher,etc?
yes, the FB app will work fine.
but looks like they killed the FB home feed functionality. TechCrunch reported on it. not surprising i guess.
I was still able to use the home screen and shortcuts and stuff, but no fee was in the background or anything...just a black screen.
OK never mind then. I'll just wait. Looks like it's going to available from Google play on the 12th.

I want to start with saying that this theme is an paid theme through google play but I attached the uzip for the widget to left.
In other word, that one is free of charge and modifiable!.Just wanted to let that be said before anyone goes rampage cause I put a lot
of work in making this. The 4 months of wait for UCCW to implement high resolution support was terrible (not complaining!) ;_;
The last screenshots shows the beta version I created. As for now, the theme takes up the whole screen as you can see in the other screenshots.
To emphasize, I tested this on my Nexus 7, the widgets should fit perfectly.
If you're a N4 user you might have seen it over there as well. I thought I maintain a thread here as well since after all, I'm a N7 owner!
Installing uzip theme files:
Download UCCW and add a UCCW widget to your homescreen, select "uzip" and browse and select the theme.

I hope you did not do it cause it's just a zip with pngs inside xD
I'm using AOKP rom so the feature is built in to the settings where you only have to choose which image to replace with.
please post the full version here
thx

I have other free themes that I've created, this is the first one that I charge for.
Links don't work?

Works for me, I'll reupload them to dev host when I get home, just in case.
Looks pretty sweet, may have to give that a try sometime.
Ok, one issue I changed some hotspots, now the widget shows up blank (white). I assume just remove the widget and set it up again? Didn't see a refresh setting in UCCW.

Did it work out in the end? Sometimes uccw shows white widget when refreshing for a split second, but it should get back to normal right after that.
Didn't do it on my vibrant, so just removed and readded it and edited it all at the same time. Had a few moments where it just showed image place holders and no images.

Did you maybe consume all the ram available? Another thing, how does the widget look on the vibrant? It got a display of 480 x 800 after all and the theme was recommended to be used on a 720p screen.
Who knows, vibrant i know is pretty much empty software wise. Screens attached.

You can see the ram consumption in settings, sometimes uccw can take up to 80mb which is one of the reason I recommend this on a phone with at least 720p (those phones usually have decent specs). Thanks for the screenshots, how does it look in real life though? I will assume the text is barely readable?
369mb for memory under the settings.. Running Paranoid Android 2.54 (android 4.1.2). Text ain't too bad, I have it setup in phablet mode anyways to get more space on the home screens.

That should be enough! You might want to send a letter to the UCCW developer as I never had this issue before. And thanks for telling me that the text was readable, I havent personally tried it on that resolution yet.
still cant be downloaded?
Yeah, I have no idea what is taking google so long to review my account. Just sent them another email (an hour ago) asking them if you're even working.
Gotta love Google... I know one of their things, if an app is downloaded from any updates have to be done through them as well. Not to mention anything within the app can't be downloaded from outside sources either. Do I sense, Apple's methods coming to the play store? lol

Yeah, they became very strict about that. Just emailed them earlier today and they said they never got the information about my identity so I had to send them again....
