About this app

Uses root to sync your address book with high-quality contacts photos.
This way, during calls and inside the address book app, you could see who you are talking to!

The operation is almost entirely automatic, and you can choose which contacts to avoid syncing.

Disclaimer:
The app does what you can do anyway by yourself: get photos from folders that are accessible via root and later set each to the person in the address book, just like on any file-manager app (that has root capabilities).

Please check the FAQ on the official forum before using this app including the requirements to use it :

Note that you MUST have a rooted device in order to run this app.

Ratings and reviews

Fast, easy to use, does what it says it does. 07/06/26: contacts no longer seem to update :( i have tried reinstalling, it fetches old whatsapp profile pictures. do i have to reinstall whatsapp? everything is as is. every app is updated and cleared cache of everything. i assume its due to the pictures being fetched from the "send to" function which doesn't seem to show every contact.

Works as advertised! Sync on schedule would've been a nice addition, but I understand why it's not implemented. In TrueCaller, sometimes I need to open the contact for the picture to sync, but that's probably some issue on the TrueCaller end (not refreshing its cache or something). Overall, this is a great app :)

Worked fine before, now does not complete. There seems to be lack of "no profile photo" handling in the code, it will just sit there on a black profile photo, if you hit back it will sit on there numbers done page, if you hit stop it will go to sync all the photos it managed to grab. Needs better error handling!

What’s new

Minor bug fixes and improvements.
Probably leaving Android 6.x from now on, due to things the app depends on.
