Sync FB manually - White Widow (Help needed)

I'm running White Widow 4.6 with Google Apps installed and JIT on. Not all of my FB contacts are syncing with my phone contacts. For example, my sister is not linked to any FB profile when she should be. The names match up. Most of the people are, but some aren't. I can't find a way to link it manually to her FB profile. All of my contacts sync'd fine with the stock OS.

Anybody else have this issue? Do you have a solution? I had the same problem in KaosFroyo v23 and never found a solution.

Thanks.
 
mistaj is right, syncmypix works fine. sometimes it does add a picture to someone that is not that person, such as Dave in my phone would be linked to a random Dave ... on my facebook.

but for future reference, this type of question should be in the White Widow thread. that way, people running that thread will also see this. It keeps things organized and we all don't have to search through 20 pages of threads like this just to find the actual White Widow ROM thread

With no manual link option, the names must be identical. I had the same problem, but syncmypix will let you manually link.

I thought the names were identical. It turns out my sister uses her middle name as her last name on FB now, and my friend spelled his last name wrong, either on purpose or he's just that dumb.

I fixed it by changing their name in their contact. What I liked about doing it manually was that I could sync my mom and dad to their FB profile and keep them as "mom" and "dad" in my phone contact list.
