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 am seriously digging the new Gmail app. Very refreshing change from that boring POS old app.
I do wish I could turn of the conversation mode. Anyone figure out a way to do that? I haven't been able to do it.
i agree that overall its great, wish i could pinch to zoom in messages so i could see most or all of the email at once.
That's my only gripe. Can't see all of the email and when I try to swipe over to see more, it goes to the next email. Maybe a future update will make it better.

What changed? My memory might be bad but whats so different from the gmail that came with 4.0.1?
I'm running 4.0.3-238707 and seems to still look the initial ICS gmail app.

I think he's referring to the versions shipped with Gingerbread and prior.
Yeah it's a major improvement from the Gingerbread version.

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.
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.

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!

yeap, hope the official Jelly Bean update could bring the true HD contacts pics together with Gmail team in July. Wait and see.
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.
I am looking for a ROM for my EVO 4G that has:
1, JellyBean and Sense 4.0,
2. Sprint VVM working,
3. Facebook profile picture sync to contact's picture (I think this is a sense feature hence why I want sense, honestly I prefer the look of CM10),
4. as much stable and working as possible, especially flash, don't much care about WiMAX and FFC.
I am currently on AlienMOD Solar Flare Series V, which I like for the most part. However, I can not get Sprint VVM to work, it sends me texts about voicemail but I don't want to call voicemail as it uses minutes and I don't always get the texts. Additionally I can't seem to get my contact's picture to sync with Facebook.
Honestly if I could disable the text VM notifications, get Sprint VVM to work, and figure out how to get the contact's pics to since with facebook, I would be happy as is. But I have searched and searched and I can not find a solution that works.
Any help with either of these would be awesome.
Well if that is all you need my suggestion is get a new phone. There will not be any jb sense roms for this phone. Sense for the og stopped with gingerbread.

Anything after Gingerbread will never have EVERYTHING working. If you want to flash ICS of JB you have to make compromises.
For Facebook contact pictures, I remember an app called Photo Unlocker but it was removed from the Play Store. I haven't had any luck locating it.
Honestly if I could just get VVM working on this rom and remove the text notifactions for VM I would be happy. I can work around the facebook issue.
Haxsync works good for Facebook sync. Or if you want free use free Facebook contact sync.

Actually I think I am going to try this out...

Does it support swap?
By swap do you mean like an a2sd or something similar? Or as on a RAM swap partition?
There are a few miui issues. Stock mms will error if more than 160 characters are sent. You also have to change resolution of front camera. When first opened you get green picture. I think that is it.

Honestly I think TNN is becoming my goto ROM dev team.
That is dependant on the kernel. Lionfish will work with this ROM and give you the swap feature. It is what I run on all my AOSP roms. Just be sure your sd-ext is not an ext4 file system. 2 and 3 will work but the the lionfish kernel does not support 4.

LOL. Always a compromise.... Want sense? Then no JB... Want Swap? No EXT4.... This is a very delicate back and forth... Oh well. I can't complain too much...
