Help Displaying Facebook photos in contacts

I just got a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I'm trying to figure out how to have it display photos from my Facebook contacts in my contacts list so when I go to make a call or send a text, I have their photo there. I had that on my HCT Hero and I'm sure there is a way to do it on the Nexus though I can't figure it out. I have my FB account set up and logged into on the phone so there has to be a way to link them.

As of Android 4.0 (ICS) Facebook no longer Syncs the contact photos to your contacts, so you are on your own.

I know i use a High Res app work around called HaxSync which works wonderfully for my GNex
 
Thanks! Got it and the workaround fix installed and now the pictures are populating. I did find one contact populated with an old photo that is not the person's current FB photo. I wonder how the app picked up the old photo and not the new one?

Sometimes it can bug out like that, just give it time to resync and update and it should be fixed in no time :)
 
What I did, because anything that synced the pictures turned out looking awful, is choose my own pictures, save them, and then added them using contact photo sync. Crystal clear pics.
