I understood that the new facebook 1.9.1 would sync contacts with ICS but I do not have this option in my GNex with stock 4.0.4.
Anyone else?

It doesn't sync at this time. It shows as an account you can sync, but falls to sync when you tell it to. Google blocks Facebook from sync at this time. Read the other thread about this same topic that was posted yesterday.

well my problem is that I don't even have the option to sync in the accounts manager 9see attached screenshot)
can you pls point me to the thread?
You should keep in mind that facebook copies all of your contact data onto their servers.
This really upset me when I found out about it, so I deleted the facebook app from my devices.

Sorry if this has been asked before but...
How do you add a Facebook account to sync contacts etc?
I have the Facebook app installed and have added twitter accounts etc through the accounts and sync in settings but Facebook never adds.
Thank you

You can't. Support was removed back in 2.3.x for the Nexus S. Issues with Facebooks use of Google API's & local storage of contact data or something along those lines. Should be plenty if you search - either on XDA or on the wider intewebs.
Thank you

let's say I have all important people in my google contacts. I have manually related every one of them to corresponding facebook contacts so that essentially I could see their FB profile photo.
seriously, cannot that be acomplished using GNex??

Don't fret folks. There are other options. I use Contapps. It has a feature to sync HIGH QUALITY facebook pictures. You're going to have to go with the pro version.

the facebook sync doesnt actually "add" any real contacts but simply makes them look like they have been added. but will get deleted once you "un sync"

I think but am not sure but if your contacts are on the sim card then you can not add pictures to them. Copy them to the phone or use your google account instead.

There are 2 ways I know you can achieve this:
1) Use Samsung Social Hub, add your FB account and it will give you options to link each of your contacts to a their FB account, this will sync their photos and status updates into your contacts.
2) Use the official FB app, and check the Sync Contacts option. I havent tried it personally but should work similar to Social Hub

Running Vicious Toro V5 JB 4.1 on Nexus. Option for facebook sync is there. But doesnt work?
Any Ideas? fix?
THanks !
It was there in ICS as well. But I'm pretty sure Google still disables the facebook package name in the sync providers apk so it will not work.
Facebook is not using the correct api. If they fix that, sync would work

I'm on Awesomes Rom and I can't get Facebook to sync ... Lol it says it has the ability =\
-Google
I use an app called HaxSync to sync facebook pics/numbers with my contacts
Rom
I had a few 4.0 roms that had Facebook fix. Any ideas how to apply to JB?

Facebook sync already works with the Facebook app on non Nexus devices. It's a dispute between FB and Google so Google blocks the katana package name from sync working.
Hi. I know in previous versions of Facebook you could sync contacts (numbers/photos ect)
Does anybody know how to do this on the n4, or a way to import all the contacts photos and numbers?
I have already gone into settings>accounts and set contacts to sync from there but no luck
Any ideas?
Thanks

Ice Cream Sandwich and later versions of android don't allow Facebook contact syncing. My understanding is that this was because the way that Facebook had been allowed to do it in the past was a kludgy system that wasn't the same as the api available to other developers. Until Facebook decides to use the standard api, you have to use as third party app to make it work. I use one that's popular called Haxsync.

+1 for Haxsync
It is fantastic. You can sync your fb contacts - chose to sync those that match a contact you already have, or sync all.
It will also sync your fb calendar events and/or birthdays which I find really useful
+1 Haxsync. It syncs everything you might want and you can configure the sync in many ways.
It's not free though.
User that or Friendcaster for Facebook.

Does Haxsync still work in JB 4.2? If so do you need the app plus the work around?

You need the workaround. If you install just the app, it prompts you on first launch to install the workaround.
Haxsync works great.

Does it work on the nexus 4 as well?

Ditto on this.
I can't seem to sync the "me" contact with Google servers. When I flash a new nightly, all of my contacts are available except for "me" contact. How can I get the "Me" contact to sync with the rest of the contacts?
Anybody know?
My "me" contact is there on cm10.1. Are you logged into your Google account?

The "me" contact is not meant to sync to Google as far as I can tell. It is phone based only. I have utilized GB, ICS, and JB Roms (stock and custom) with the "me" contact or some variant and never has it synced with Google. Oversight on Google's part--maybe. Of course most of the time my apps and other settings don't automatically sync back and restore on new ROMS either (could be doing something wrong).
