It doesn't work yet on stock ics
So is there any rom that can have this work?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Nearly all have a facebook sync option built in
Another option is HaxSync, a paid app that syncs high res facebook photos

I have flasshed a ROM called eagles blood mod, based on 4.03 and i can sync with facebook. However, i cant see the contact pics yet.
Im on aokp and it shows up
The solution in those roms gives low-res pictures though apparently. You might want to look at the Haxsync app on the market.

You can't. The app doesn't support it. The only contact sync that works is Google+ out of the box.
Okay thanks for the answer. Hope that they will change that soon

That's all up to Facebook. Hopefully they add it back in. The API is available for them to do so in a new version of the app. Google isn't restricting them or anything.
Friendcaster app can sync with the people app in ICS.. But the photo are not high definition!
Nexus devices have always had this feature excluded.

No they have not. I can sync just fine on my Nexus One. Also, it's not that the feature was excluded. Facebook used to have a backdoor API that allowed them to sync in Android that other developers couldn't use. Google removed it in the newer versions of Android. This means that for it to keep working, Facebook would have to update their app to use the public API for contact syncing (that's been there the whole time) and allow the user more control of their own info. They have not done so.
It's Facebook's app that's the problem here. It's nothing specific to the Nexus devices in general. You just notice it more in Nexus devices because they don't have manufacturer created Facebook apps (i.e. HTC's custom made FB app that syncs properly).
Since getting the Galaxy Nexus it appears the Facebook app lost the option to sync contact pictures...anyone know of a work around or possibly another app that will do that for me?
Thanks in advance

You can read a bit about it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393924
You can use a custom ROM - Paul O'Brien from MoDaCo has enabled it with the Facebook app but quality is pretty poo at the moment. But at least it works
Use the app friendcaster it will let ypu sync ypur facebook contacts on the nexus

I can get the app for facebook that works fine, but I am trying to sync my contacts with facebook. Please help!!!!

Hmmm, I have an HTC Evo 3D with 2.3.4 and it can sync my contacts to their Facebook profiles just fine.
I wonder if only HTC phones can do this?
I would like to see this working on our Nexus Galaxy too!

Unzip a 4.0.3 rom take the contactsprovider.apk and contacts.apk and push them to your system/app partition with adb or es file explorer fix permission reboot and try
P.s. back up your contact first and I don't have a gnexus so I can't test but I'm about 99% sure it should

With hi-res pictures or the same as Paul O'Brien's hack for earlier ICS builds? I don't remember hearing Facebook changing to use the Google API

They listed a new Social Stream API. That does NOT mean that Facebook implements this API. Until Facebook makes the changes on their end, it will not sync with stock Android.

There is a problem between google and Facebook regarding this. B, default this is disabled but through other ways (apps, root) you can still sync
Please use the search button in the galaxy nexus forum to get more info from threads where this was previously discussed.

Try HaxSync. It doesn't require root and will sync your Facebook contacts.
Or Nimbuzz do it too i think but the problem with this kind of app is it changes the pictures even if there are already one ...
I prefer when it's integrate

Q. Has anyone been able to figure out how to sync Facebook pictures to contacts in JB? Haxsync seems to not work.

HaxSync - 4.x is the new update. The version is 2.3.5 and should now work with JellyBean.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Haxsync ... I Beta'd the new version before release when i contacted the developer...
It also supports Higher Resolution photos so they look as good as G+ synced photos
+1 I can confirm that HaxSync is working w/ JB
No

The app facebook contact sync works.
Haxsync works but must reboot after install. (At least this is how I got it to work.)

HaxSync is also working for me, after a reboot. It's a great solution I think!
Have you guys installed the jelly bean workaround too?

How strange I wonder how that's possible.
I use the 3rd party application FriendCaster and it works well for contact sync.
