[APP][2.1+]SyncMyPix - ICS-JB and Facebook Fix-(Better High Res Pic Update)

Hi,

I don't like to give my info to third party libraries or apps,so i've managed to fix SyncMyPix for ICS. Also fixed facebook functions. I'm uploading apk and source here.

I also added fql to fetch fullsize facebook photos.

To use it,

1)You have to create an application on your facebook account from developers.facebook.com.

There is an video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDeaKrWR7WA&feature=relmfu -> thanks to google

2)After creation enter your facebook "application id" to "Application Id field on preferences of application".

https://developers.facebook.com/attachment/android_devapp_basic.png <- in this picture the APP_ID part is your application id.
(dont click on green square)

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/getting-started/facebook-sdk-for-android/3.0/ -> step 4

Add this key as android key

3)Enable high res photos, and disable crop from preferences.

4)When you touch sync facebook login form will appear, (it's facebook's own login dialog) and login to your facebook account from application.

5)If you didn't add your application to your facebook account it will ask you to authorize it.

6)It will automatically fetch contact photos. (If it doesnt start click sync again, it will not ask your facebook details again)

I could have given my application id to you but there would be no point to use this application if i had done it. There are lots of applications on market.

Also if you understand compiling from source you can set application id from string.xml -> "facebook_api_key"

My source code repo of syncmypix:

Have fun

Update (special-3):
*It works on 4.2.2 emulator
*Highly increased image resolution.
*Because of change in facebook fetch type, it will be a little bit slower than other releases while syncing
*Apk is signed use the key provided above to enable facebook app over it

Update (special-2):
*Fixed crop view
*Increased resolution of images, Still a little choppy but better from before.
There is a way to implement high res photos with real size. But rooting required and i don't have time to research it .
*Some small bug fixes.

PS:Thanks Neil Loknath for fantastic base code.
PS 2:Tested on Nexus-HD2 Rom v2.3

Use special-3 version, older ones left for testing

Quick question:

Is this the same as using HaxSync or Facebook Profile Sync?

They both do 256x256 images I think, if not higher.

I don't know how they work, but i added the functions that has to be used to add contact photo without hacking. Last version's quality is good. Try it yourself

use special 2,

i left old one, if something wrong happens with new one.

Quick question, can i choose what fb name to sync with what name? I don't sync the fb contacts with my google contacts, but a display picture for the people would be sweet, but i have them all with nicknames in the phone and not the name as in fb.

Yes, you can chose it from results view, long press the facebook username and click link to contact.

This program not intended to work with gingerbread, also i'm not sure it will work on 4.1.

You can use the attached apk, video is for creating facebook application. You will use that application id to fetch photos from facebook.

The application fetches the best sized photo on facebook profile, it will use highest resolution.
