Root cm7 & fb contact pix

I just flashed cm7 on a friends phone and it works awesome. She loves it. We are having some problems getting the FB photos to show up on handcent. Some do and some don't. All the settings are correct because some of them are coming through. Wonder if this is a known issue or am I missing something?
 
For me, i had to make sure i had them all linked in contacts to their FB profiles, and verify their pictures showed successfully in contacts. Any existing SMS messages wouldn't populate the picture, but if i started a new conversation with the same person then the picture would show up. It also took quite a few hours for all contacts' pictures to sync successfully from FB in the contacts app, so that's usually the first thing i do now - link everyone's profiles to FB so their pics will sync. Then just delete all SMS messages and start new convo's. Worked for me anyways, good luck!
 
If the contacts are not named EXACTLY the same on fb and your contacts, they will not sync automatically. You will need to manually join th ones that are named differently. Go to fb settings and select sync all contacts, then go to your phone contacts, select the contact you want to sync, menu>edit contact>menu>join and select the one from the list that shows up. After you are done with them, go back to fb and change it to existing contacts.
