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 :/

Almost every time I open the gallery app it takes what feels like forever to load my albums. I have TWO albums, camera pics and another of some backgrounds.
Less than 300 pics in camera, with a couple of videos, and about 20 in the other album.
I've disabled Google picture sync and instant upload so I don't see the picasa albums.
Does anyone else have this problem? It's been doing it for weeks, maybe longer, (had the phone since uk launch day). Pretty annoying when I go to show someone a pic on my big shiny phone only to hold it with the spinning loading circle for 30 seconds with them saying "nice new fast phone".
I'm on stock 4.0.1

Use Quickpic in the market...the stock 3d gallery has always been slow...
What if I prefer stock gallery app ? Would rather find out why gallery takes so long to list albums, if its like this for everyone then surely it's broken?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I have 22 albums. Most of them have at least 40 images the largest has 66. They load instantly.
Andoid 4.0.3 AOKP
Did UK not get the 402 update yet?
Maybe try dividing your albums.

Don't really want to split the albums, galley 3d worked fine on my rooted desire and I had 600+ pics in the camera folder on that.
Nope, I haven't had 4.0.2 yet, still on 4.0.1 with the volume bug fix
Will have to use quickpic for now until I get updates and see if they help I guess.

After having used QuickPic for a while, it blows my mind that anybody could prefer the stock gallery app. How in the world could you possibly prefer the stock gallery? QuickPic is so much better...
I used to use quickpic for a long time on my desire, I have nothing against it, it is quick and works well. I just like the look of the gallery app, along with side scrolling.
Different tastes and all that remember

The stock ICS gallery is perfectly fine.
Quickpic looks out dated and ugly, like something from HTC.

Form over function is idiotic.
Quickpic does what it should. Default Gallery never has.
I have lots of albums and photos, stock gallery app loads all of them instantly without any issues.
Am using AOKP 4.0.3 custom rom.

Stock Gallery works fine, until it doesn't!
Can you select which folders to include/exclude with the stock Gallery yet?
Something wrong with your phone. I have 2000+ pictures in 20 different albums. It loads instantly. This is along with another 1500+ pictures synced with Picasa.
I also have Quickpix but I only use it to do some batch operations. It looks really crappy and outdated.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I'm having the same issue. Stock gallery app loads super slow, takes close to a minute to show any images. I'm using quickpic until I figure out the issue, but I also prefer the stock gallery for normal image viewing. Any ideas?
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 all,
Is it only me who feels bad about official twitter app - I mean bad performance & lag on GN 4.0.2?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Go to settings and turn on GPU acceleration. It makes pretty much everything faster and without lag.
Use Seesmic - by far the best twitter client imo.

This, sort of. It will make twitter run smooth but some apps won't work altogether with it enabled. (Just some examples Capital One Mobile app, and Asphalt 6).

with gpu accerleration selected im sorry i can't agree with this thread. twitter works perfect with no lag at all when this is selected, i honestly don't know how much faster you can expect this to be. and this is someone who owns every pro version of every twitter app

Yeah have tried them all, but keep going back to seesmic. Even though it FC's sometimes on ICS..
Just played with Twitter on my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S Vibrant (with Passion ICS) and it seems like it's noticeably quicker at scrolling and opening tweets on my Vibrant.
Weird. It still works well enough on the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not bothered by it. Kinda surprised though that it is a bit slower, I guess the larger screen, dunno.
Thank you all...
I tried them all. I prefer hootsuite. But recently I wanted to try the official twitter app (never tried the new design version before). I like the rich features it has and the design. But the last few days was bad experience with this app. It lags. The drag to refresh keeps running so when i get back to app, I often don't find my time line at the same position I left it.
Thanks for the new thing I learnt now: 2d GPU rendering. Yes I noticed smoothness but some other apps were distorted, e.g., mynetdiary and hootsuite itself.

There's no twitter app optimized for ICS yet?
I mean, with resizable and scrollable widget...

Replying to tweets is noticeably slower on my phone than my girlfriend's myTouch 4G. I think it's just an optimization thing as I believe AP or AC did an article on the slowness of the app on ICS. It is what it is...

Yes i get bad lag on the official twitter app too. Gpu hardware enabled does not help at all either. But its always been like this for me and the twitter app had identical lag on my atrix too. So i always thought this app had issues, not my phones.
I'm not really fussed about the speed of Twitter, I just wish it would sync my Twitter friends and contacts..... Constantly get a "Sync Error".

Best to switch to a different Twitter app. using 2D rendering might benefit the official Twitter app but might work against other apps.

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.

As today Facebook app got a new update but I still feel that it's not quite good enough because of very slow speed, old UX& ... (as the app always was)
I'd like to know which app you use for Facebook recently.
I've tried Scope beta for few weeks, love the idea but still buggy and slow.
Thanks for sharing guys!

Same.. I haven't had an issue with it for ages.. It does what it's supposed to do.
I just go to facebook.com, looks just like PC version that way.
Facebook app is fine its smooth and fast no lag for me whatsoever
It takes 10-20 seconds of a black screen before it loads, but after that it works fine.
The problem i have is with its widget, i sometimes get a blank widget or it doesnt update.
Anyone with those issues??
I use flipboard for facebook, I really like the magazine format.
What's up with the Facebook website and Android? The input fields don't allow your dictionary to work and gets all screwy trying to type and backspace. It does this on any browser I've tried.
I just use Android Pro Widgets to use the Facebook and Twitter widgets for feeds, and click through to Facebook occasionally for notifications and IMs. I don't need instant notification about anything related to Facebook.

No issues here with the Facebook app. Loads in less than 2 seconds. Now on my phones it is a different story. They haven't ran it right in a year or so.
No problems here, more speed is needed with all apps to support Nexus 7 Quadcore CPU

There is a reason Facebook is working on a native app for Android and already did for iOS. Our current app is an HTML5 based slow piece of trash..,

I deleted facebook app ,using default cm10 browser is much faster..on a 20mbt internet i wait for 4-5 seconds and more for a 50kb picture to show,that app after 1000 updates is still bad joke.I left app only on my phone because of push notificafions but i dont use it.

Friend caster is pretty nice. Dual panel layout and everything. One problem with the official Facebook app is that it took so long for it to start up like 20 seconds for a black screen then another ten on the splash screen. Completely ridiculous. I heard they forced their employees to use android phones instead of I phones just to make them feel the crap they made for android.
