Can anyone make a simple apk that sets the photos from whatsapp to contacts on phone ie if a contact calls up his whatsapp photo shows up
whatsapp profile photos can be found named along with the phone number of the respective contact in the following folder :
Whatsapp\Profile Pictures\

It shouldnt be too difficult to solve this.
The Profile Pictures are the actual phone numbers of the contacts.
You need a app which accesses the phonebook and check if phone number is equal with filename.
If yes, set Picture.
You could do it a little bit more usable when you make a listview with checkboxes for the people where you can select the people since some profile pictures are very crappy and show something else than the person itself.
The only problem with that is that you have to click manually on every contact and then on the profile picture since whatsapp only downloads the picture when you want to see it in a bigger format. the thumbnails are serialized as i can see with root explorer.
The most effective way would be when you could force whatsapp to download everyones profiles picture in your list but this is over my knowledge and i bet you need root access for that. Also it would nice to access the wa.db in the databases folder of whatsapp (/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/wa.db/). There is a list of ALL your phone contacts and a boolean variable called "is_whatsapp_user" where you could filter the ones with a whatsapp account. all whatsapp users have a additional set integer variable for the profilepicture which be can "-1" "0" or a specific number.
that would mean:
if ((is_whatsapp_user) && (profilepicture != 0) && (profilepicture != -1)) //Pseudo Code
{
code
}
but i dont know if you can access the .db from a external app, even if you know the full path. also this must be realizied with SQLite, which means more efford.
There is an app for that.. now
Hi guys,
I've made an app for that case.
"WhatsApp Contact Photo Sync" available on Google Play Store
You can choose for each contact if you want to update the contact picture profile from whatsapp.

but this isnt about fb sync, there are many other apps for fb sync..
contact photo sync existing app is cool but it's not automatized that would be cool.
I also thought of making such an app, but an automatic sync is almost impossible, because whatsapp does not sync all pictures, once they manually opened, they'll be stored to sdcard.
To make it work, you would need to write a whatsapp client, or somehow force whatsapp to download the pics (but how??? )

Thanks for the app .. it works fine for me
Only issue :
I have a tendency of viewing profile pic on whatsapp (by enlarging) .. as u already know they r stored in whatsapp profile pic folder.. not i have around 100+ pics in that folder..
Wondering if you app cud provide ability to scan whatsapp profile pic folder and automatically update my address book without my intervention

is it possible?
I would like to know this too, currently they are shocking.
(from what I found on the web) Apparently the facebook app saves small thumbnails, and they look bad when blown up on hi-res phones.
As a workaround you can try to set a google contact photo manually instead http://www.google.com/contacts.
update: this does not work either so its not just a facebook app issue.
One of my contact pictures is set through the phone via a photo i took with the camera, it still looks ****e. I can't think of any workaround.

yup, contact images set via google contacts show up blurry too
facebook for HTC is using hi res facebook profile picture when synching to contacts..
i switched to sense UI the other day and i found out contact synching with facebook using facebook for HTC not the normal android facebook app.
One of the developers had tried in the past to make the dialer show the contact photo filling the entire screen. Unfortunately Google resizes the images to 96px (if my memory is still working.<EDIT: Memory is working! yay!>) This is a setting we don't have any control over, its something google has set, above and beyond our control.
EDIT: This is the thread where pics are reported to revert back to 96px after they sync with google.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576310
Then again, I'm not sure if anyone has tried to just call the images locally off the sdcard or something along the lines. (The problem would be, once you lose your phone, all the contact photos would be gone.) No sure if anyone has tried this before, if not, I might take a whack at it.
Man...didn't notice 'til I read this thread...LoL.
Is there a way to select which service to use for a contact's picture. On my phone it seems to be twitter > gtalk > facebook. But I want to use the facebook pictures. any help?
I done know of a way to do it for all your contacts at once, but when you edit a contact you will see all available images for them and tapping on one of them will select it as their main pic.

Holy crap... I didn't know we could do that! So downloading the Twitter app and adding someone's Twitter username to their contact adds that pic as an option too?
Wish I could delete a post. Thought I was editing. :-\

Actually, i think it might work off there name or email address associated with Twitter.

It doesn't work out of the box. You will need to use 'SyncMyPix' from the Play Store to retrieve and assign the pics.
PS: If you get a login / session invalid error in SyncMyPix, just logout once and login again -- it works then.
With Haxsync 2.3.0 you are able to sync HD images and select Facebook HD photos by default

something wich manages high resolution photos?
i used syncmypix on old phones, wich seems stopped to be supported on october 2012, and i don't know wich resolution syncs..
i have read of haxsync, but seems it has to be always active... isn't there something wich syncs with gmail, then you can delete it?
i couldn't see, but doesn't xperia z dialer support big picture ? do i need to use full screen caller or hd caller (whatever the name is, i bought it some time ago)
The starred in Android contacts on my Gmail account syncs in HD all the others in SD.... WEIRD!!!! They have to fix it ASAP!

doesn't it sync "on the fly"? meaning, the sync remains if i delete haxsync? i've read it drains quite a bit of battery... and do pics appear large in dialer?
use this app called UberSync Facebook contact sync
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
It allows you to sync the recent profile picture from your friend's profile and you can change the size of the picture to small, medium,large. My Arc S shows full screen when I get a call from my friends :thumbup: just set the photo size to large. Also the app can be set to auto sync or you can manually sync. No worries about battery drain!
Press thanks if I helped

i'm trying this for know, do you know if there will be a notification at the end? cause i started sync, but didn't show me any status bar o countdown or percentage, it just said "sync started", how can i now if it will finish?
@alfiabaram, i'm going to try that too thanks
Oops! I forgot to mention this - you need to rename the contact to their Facebook name (be very specific about the first & last name) then it will fetch their assign their picture to the contact. Use ' run manual scan' option. There's no notification after the scan is finished >.<

ok i've tried with it, but it isn't so "ergonomic", no notifies, no info,and i couldn't make manual links to facebook profile.... and when i tried to delete it, i've lost all my pix
would like to try sync.me but yesterday developers put it out of the market cause it has to be rewritten (or similar)
now i've tried facebook contact picture sync by sbla games
it has anything i need seems, it has manual link (you can save and load links) for people with different names
it syncs then you can delete the app, it takes big photos,and is quite fast (you can "assist the process) so i think for anyone who doesn't need repeated syncs (don't know if it handles it, didn't search)
btw thanks for your help
it seems quite good
Go to Gmail Contacts and put HD pictures to your contacts, then put the contacts you use the most to the favourites (starred in Android) let it sync with Google and finally clear the cache and data from your "contacts" app, then sync again with google your contacts again and the starred contacts will sync in HD!

Just did this and everything worked out Thanks ... though there should be a fix from Google ... silly Google.
Guys, in 4.2.2 update they fixed it, now all the contacts are synced in HD, you have to open each contact once though to force it to download the full picture.

Is anyone else having issues with Sync.me sending out spam to contacts when syncing?
Ubersync for FB doesn't work anymore, anyone know of another app to sync FB contact pics?
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a solution on how to specify which contactlist is to be shown in the telephone app (NOT the contacts app)
right now, my S10 displays ALL contacts, from all sources (google accounts, simcard, phone contacts) together and thats just a mess....
I want it to show my contacts from my google account only...
So is it possible to select a specific contactlist to display only?
please keep in mind, that I am talking about the contacts in the telephone app, not the "contacts" app.
thanks for your help
oh, no one with this problem?
I also have this issue. On Huawei's EMUI it was possible to choose the contact list including groups when using Google.
Same problem but no solution... ):
I'm using the Groups-Icon in the contact list to filter. But it's kinda annoying. It's faster to search for the specific contact.

are you developing an app and trying to make that feaute work or are you a user wanting to contact a dev about an app?
if its the second, there are parameters that need to be filled in order to have that work, im betting those parameters havent been filled
Yes I mean 2 . The subject parameter was always filled automatically by the the name of the app, but now it's empty.
Do you face the same issue ?????
Guys share the results with us plz
