I got any easier way to sync facebook contacts to your contacts list, but it won't be hi res but at least there well be a face next to there name .. Grab it well you can cuz this app has been removed back in the droid og days. Ok enough talking here it is

Btw it's called facebook sync
I found this app used a ton of battery. I synced up my contacts then took it off auto sync, maybe I'll put it back on auto sync periodically. I wish they had an option to sync only on the charger.

HaxSync allows you to sync your Facebook friends with your Android 4.0 device! This gives you an experience similar to the Google+ one, complete with status-updates and high-resolution contact images in the People App!
How to use:
1.) Install official Facebook App.
2.) Go to System Settings => Accounts & Sync (Android Settings, not Facebook App Settings).
3.) Click "Add Account" => HaxSync.
4.) Click "Authorize HaxSync".
5.) Confirm Authorization
6.) Wait for HaxSync to finish syncing.
7.) You should now see your Facebook contacts in the Android "People"-App.

So will it only sync the previously linked facebook contacts? or bring in all my facebook friends to the people app? i would prefer not having 400 facebook friends in my contacts, just want the current contacts pictures syncedAs per the instructions - yes.

As per the instructions - yes.
So is this ever going to be integrated in ICS? I seem to remember contact picture syncing wasn't a problem on my OG, and was pretty shocked to see it isn't in ICS.
They basically disabled the API that Facebook was using due to the fact that they're competitors now. When the OG came out, they weren't yet competitors.

You sure thats the reason? Never had an issue with the incredible. I thought the resolution wasbthebissue.
Were you running sense? Manufacturers still have that functionality built into their skins and I believe Google didn't disable it until 2.3. Basically, Facebook was the only one allowed to use that API, but once it was disabled it seems Facebook didn't bother to use a different API like the one Twitter and other apps use. I'll see if I can find the article I read about this.
Also, to the guy above me, it doesn't sync phone numbers. Just pictures and status updates.

Yes but then rooted and got rid of sense.
