Any app to download friend's facebook pictures and apply hi-res photos to contacts?

---

Is there any app that downloads a high resolution Facebook contact picture and assigns it to your contact on the phone?

Theres a plethora of apps that sync "high res" pics (Syncmypix), but attaches it to your gmail account, which then downgrades the quality to all hell, because its like 48x48 res.

You can obviously manually download pictures and assign it to each contact, but that will take forever!

The only other solution is to contact everyone to sign up for Google + and upload a high res picture as their profile picture

Thanks. I've been wondering as well.

If I remember correctly, the low-res limitation is due to Google Contacts sync. I believe when google grabs the picture from the contact (which is in high-res first time) it uploads it to Contacts and converts to 64x64px (?) and then it use that low-res picture for all things.

I dont know if it still works like this but as other people said, there is a bunch of threads about this "problem".

exactly, the current syncing apps sync it with gmail, therefore downsizes it to 64x64 pixels, which looks awful on a 720p screen.

I did do a search, and could not find a straight answer.

I assume that Friendcaster also uses this method? I have "high res" checked but the pictures come out as anything but =/

Tried it.. still gets 64x64 pics.

This is a limitation with Google contacts online and not the phone. When you it syncs it resizes them.
