Hey guys, yes, I've done a search for this but couldn't find a solution.
How can I force high resolution images to download for my contacts? I used to use syncmypix and it'd download high res images from Facebook, but on my Galaxy Nexus they're pixelated like crazy.
Does anyone know of an app or way to correct this with ease? I don't want to go through my contacts and do this manually. Thank you!
Use haxsync it does work great

Hi everyone,
Is it just me or is the so-called high resolution contacts app not so high res after all? Despite using photos taken by my SLR camera and transferred to the GNex the photos still come up low res.
Anyone else experiencing this?

OK here's my problem I have about 10 movies on my phone and probably 15 videos for my kids if they get bored. The question is they all have a black screen in the gallery and there just is no easy way to see what each video is. Is there a way of putting a title under each, like what you get for each of the apps in your app drawer. If not is there a way to put a pic on the file to see what it is in the gallery. Thanks for the help

Is there a ROM with 4.03 that has a Facebook contact sync enabled please??
Gummynex has it I believe a few others do too. Its in most of the changelogs
+1 for gummy. It also has the best battery life I have experienced and zero force closes

AOKP is a good one too.

Slightly related question..
How good is this sync feature? Are the pictures high resolution? This might make me root, I've been on the fence for ages.
Alternatively you could use the HaxSync app from the market, if you trust third party. I use it, seems OK for hi-res contact photos from Facebook.
EDIT: I am on stock ICS, unrooted, etc.

Photos are NOT high res, use HaxSync for that - very good app
Facebook sync works great with AOKP. The contact pics do not appear to be high res though :/
Has anyone noticed how the contact photos are very pixely and poor quality? I can confirm that the photos from Facebook are not like this which is were it is pulling them from.

Yes I did for whatever reason hi res pictures will be converted to low res once they're in Google account!? Any way to prevent this from happening?

I believe a fix for that is announced, but no idea when it will be finished.
Download an app called Haxsync from the Play Store. It will use the high resolution images. Works like a charm.

^^ This!
Once you set all of your contact photos with high quality ones use titanium backup and backup contacts/calls. Now if you flash a new rom you then just restore this and it puts the high quality photos back.
I tried that app but my photos remained low quality.. Perhaps because I use friend caster pro instead of official Facebook app?

I am also a friendcaster and Haxsync user, my phone won't change the picture unless i manually change the display picture after sync with Haxsync.
hope this helps
Thanks Kelvin. I have so many contacts manually changing each one would takes ages.

Anyone know if the best app for converting video on the device itsself. Like when i film in 1080p and i then want to encode it to a certain size limit so i can MMS that.

Vidtrim has some features such as cropping to make it shorter. Not 100% sure if u can lower the quality to send as SMS.

I looked into this but could find no suitable way to do it on the phone itself. I either transfer the file to my computer than shrink it there and email it to the recipient or just send it as an email attachment instead of mms.

use the galaxy nexus native movie editing app called "movie studio"
use the galaxy nexus native movie editing app called "movie studio" . just import the video file and export it in a lower quality file size...I found it to be quite helpful as even the lowest quality barley made it less clear and dramatically decreased the file size. WIN WIN situation
