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 =\

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.

It doesn't work yet on stock ics
So is there any rom that can have this work?

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.
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.

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?
Anyone know why aokp removed their Facebook sync in milestone 6?

because the way to get around facebook not using the right API breaks picasa sync.

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

For some reason after updating haxsync to the latest version the pictures of my contacts synced with a horrible resolution, is there any other app to sync my facebook contacs in HD? Thank you

This is a bug in Facebook, not HaxSync. https://www.facebook.com/HaxSync/posts/430832546964821
I use "contact picture sync", give it a try.

Thank you very much for the information, it seems that I will need to wait for facebook to fix the problem.
Don't know if I am understanding the problem correctly. What I did is:
HaxSync>Preferences>Contact Settings>Manage Contacts>'go to any contact' and 'refresh'
Facebook sync works good for Me. Nd try download hacked sync jelly bean workaround from play store
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.

i read something about changing de contactsprovider.apk, so facebook kann sync by its own.
Does it work on the nexus 4 as well?
if it works u dont have to use another app, to sync.
