High Res contacts on android 4.0

[BoomAM]

Afternoon all,
Getting fed up of low res blurry contact pics on my nexus.
What options are there out there to sort it?

From what I can tell, haxsync, friend caster and Google+ all support contact syncing from social sites, but how does that work? Does it replace my existing pics? And if so, how often does it sync, as I don't want it draining my battery and data.

What other options are there?

Thanks in advance all.

Can you remember what methods you used?

And can anyone recommend something that doesn't require me setting up a live account just to pull contact pics?

 

[BoomAM]

Have you tried this yet?

I havnt no, and dont really want to.
I dont want a new caller/dialier screen as theres nothing wrong with the stock one.

Does anyone here use Haxsync, FriendCaster or use the Google+ Contacts sync?

Thanks.

Hmm.
Haxsync looks like the winner upto now....any other options?

 

[BoomAM]

Does anybody know how the Google+ Contact sync thing works?
Does it update all the time and thus drains battery, or does it sync to my google contacts online and then gets pushed?

Also, what happens to the original pictures i had in, do they get replaced?

 

[BoomAM]

How annoying.
Tried both G+ and Friendcaster.

Both of them have messed up my contact list in some way or another.

Why oh why dont google just allow syncing in HD!

##EDIT##
Very odd.
Contacts appear perfectly fine in the contact manager in gmail, yet on the phone, lots of pics missing!?
Anyone got any ideas?

##EDIT##
Fixed, sort of.
Wiped the contact storage app, everything appears to be back to normal now.

To fully fix my contacts, i had to wipe the contact storage app, then uninstall and reinstall whatsapp to relink those.

Complete faff!

Go to apps and wipe the contact data.
It'll force it to resync from Google.
