I would be happy to pay for an app that does this. I am actually surprised it hasn't got more attention. I imagine google eventually adding a native solution much like how apple has icloud to backup/sync application data. Anyway, I still haven't been able to get it to upload anything. The xml file in dropbox lists the file name I tested, but that file isn't in the SyncIt folder in my dropbox. I then deleted the first file I chose to sync in the app, and then chose the 3 files you mentioned for Angry Birds. However, the xml file has not been updated to reflect the new files, and nothing has been uploaded to dropbox. I'm running a version of CM7.1 (Android 2.3.4) on my Evo. I suppose I can just wait for the updated version. I do have some suggestions for future versions of the app. Using a file explorer to share with the app only lets you choose one file at a time (unless there is some other file explorer program that will let you). If you allowed file choosing within the app, you could probably allow for folders and multiple files. Also, what would be really cool is if you could just choose from a list of apps the data you would like to sync. I assume this is possible since Titanium Backup lets you backup and restore app data associated with an app. Also, a few more control settings would be nice like only sync while connected to wifi and/or while plugged in.

EDIT: also, every time I turn my screen on a get a Loading Finished bubble a few seconds later.
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Yes SyncIt runs every time u turn your phone on or off(thats when it checks if there is anything new). While this sounds like a bad idea(battery wise) the way ive implemented it it uses very little. I will most likely remove the "Loading Finished" toast.

As i said in my prior post(but did not elaborate on, or maybe i didnt say it. im to lazy to look xD). The new version will support adding files from external file explorers as well it will have a internal file browser that supports root. With it you will be able to select files(not multiple tho, maybe in an update) and folders. When selecting a folder it will sync all files in all sub folders up to a certain cumulative size(dont wanna kill dropbox lol).

IDK why my ur version wouldn't work, tho to clear it out completely u would need to delete the syncit folder in dropbox online then clear the cache of SyncIt. Otherwise it will just download the version from dropbox. New version will have an option to clear all.

Will this work with every game bc I have to admit their are quite a few games that I hate having to start over again just bc I got another android device to play it on.
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Honestly its trial & error. I have tried with two games Plants vs Zombies and Angry Birds, PvZ did not work(very sad about this) but Angry Birds did. These are the only two games ive tried.
[Android Apps and Games] timtlm:
Well, I eventually tried this on my asus transformer and got it to upload to Dropbox. It did start syncing to my phone and all my progress from angry birds on my tablet synced over to my phone. However, when I completed a level on my phone, that would not sync back to the tablet. I did get my phone to upload to Dropbox, though, after reinstalling the program. However, when I turn my tablet on, my tablet won't download the from Dropbox. When I open angry birds back up, none of the progress from the the phone is there. Then, I go to my phone and my old progress from the the tablet is synced back to the phone and I have to complete the level again. I will keep testing to see if I can get it to work correctly. There are definitely some bugs. Sometimes I get a force close on my phone. Also there is a big delay in asking for root permissions. I completely uninstalled/reinsalled it from my phone yesterday and it wasn't till today that it asked for root permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] ranasrule:
will this remain free after the beta period ?
[Android Apps and Games] sjpn:
great idea. i've been thinking about this for a while. how about making it with an extensible architecture so that people can register plugins for certain games such as 'PvZ' or 'Angry Birds' with options such as HD, non-HD (tablet/phone) free/paid, etc... and with multiple (relative?) paths pointing to the directories with files that need to be sync'ed. this way, people won't have to manually add directories. this would probably drive more user adoption.

i used to do this on my ubuntu laptops to sync firefox pref's and such. it's great that you actually implemented it. thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Simba501:
*Subscribing*
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
I thought i had discussed tho i guess not. After beta there will be a Paid and Free version. As of right now free version will be limited to selecting specific files and a total of 5(maybe more) to sync. The paid version will be able to sync whole folders(as long as the total size of its sub files are under a set limit, dont wanna kill ur phone/battery/dropbox lol) and an unlimited # of files.

As to the user below "Plugins" would be easy to do, hard part would be distributing them.

Look above :P, tho what do you mean such as "HD, non-HD) ect?

Also update on SyncIt it is damn near done, i should have finished the RC already actually. All functionality is done(minus plugin architectural mentioned above), i simply need to restructure it so that all the functions run in the background. Which in the scope of everything is fairly easy.

EDIT: Also i have no intention of charging more then $1 for this :).
[Android Apps and Games] Shultzy:
Ha, ya near me too it. I'd been thinking of this as a backup app for a while. Now that I have a tablet I started playing with the dropbox api to write it. Looking forward to testing it.

Can this handle file system files (ie use root)? Does it sync the ownership/permissions correctly?
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
Perfect timing for me - looking into a tablet and was wondering how to sync things. When this works (still in beta, so bound to be bugs), this will cover anything file based!

My initial thought that I was wondering how I would deal with - how to synch my location in eBooks. Now just need to see where that info is stored in iReader & Cool Reader & Kindle (for non-kindle books).

--

Edit: With only 1 device (for testing) is there a way to tell the phone - "Go look for new versions of the files in dropbox now!" So when/if I manually change something via my pc, it will copy to the right place on my phone?
[Android Apps and Games] beepsilver:
Thanks

This app is a great idea! A little buggy on the stock evo4g running 2.2

Tends to force close periodically after locking up. Have had to uninstall/reinstall three times.

Are you anywhere near an update?
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Yes It is almost ready. I'm sorry out has taken so long. Life is giving me very little free time at the moment lol. But it will come :).
[Android Apps and Games] StephenC82:

[Android Apps and Games] Flashern:
I can't get it to sync folders. Which directory app should I use?

Thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] blakrepublic:
beta no longer works and market link doesnt function?
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Aye, beta had expired. Expect RC late today or tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Ok Update, im debating releasing what i have done now or waiting till i add a few more features. There are 1-2 that i MUST add b4 releasing. But they will not take to long to implement. Most likely this next release will still be classified as a beta. I am still aiming to release 2 versions a Paid and Free version. I apologize for the wait and downtime, rest assured i am working on this with all the free time i have. I believe i have circumvention all the major issues. So development should move faster now.
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Ok this hopefully the last beta b4 rc. This will be a CLOSED beta, if you wish to participate install this apk http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7527752/SkeletonActivity.apk and then PM me the string it gives you. To participate you are required to give some feedback. I dont need much, just any issues you have with the app, if it works for you, how well, anything you would add/change ect. This is first come first server.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I'd probably be interested in helping. How automated is the selection of files though? Can I say 'sync this app' or do I have to know what files an app uses?
[Android Apps and Games] kbkrogs:
Minus

Will you be able to add the service Minus to this program or is it imposible due to API complications? Its almost the same as Dropbox tho with 10 GB of free data.
[Android Apps and Games] VerizonKoolaid:
10 gigs free from amazon

Please consider expanding to either/both

Amazon Cloud Drive

Amazon S3

everyone [USA] gets five gigs free on each ;)
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
After the RC release other options will be pursued. It should be fairly easy to add them :).

To all beta requests the beta is over now. You can expect a RC release in the coming days.
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Ok its live...

[Android Apps and Games] mordbane:
Looking good! Been waiting for this. Instantly went Pro. Gonna see how this works with Extensive Notes.
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Awesome thanks! Ive been having issues with googles servers not responding right to the in app purchase requests but it seems to be working now. If you have any issues at all please let me know & ill try to address them asap. Currently i know i need to add a "How To" screen on first run" I do have alot of ideas still planed for this app depending on enthusiasm for it.
[Android Apps and Games] mordbane:
And we've got success! I had no problem using figuring it out but a short animated tutorial like Dropbox has might help some. The biggest problem people will have is finding the data they want to backup. As always search is your friend.

Sent from my tricorder.
[Android Apps and Games] mordbane:
Any chance of getting an option to select sync frequency? Looks like it is requesting superuser access every other time I turn on my phone to see if there has been any changes to synced directories/files. Having an option of manual, six hours, or daily would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Both of your suggestions are in the plans :). First bring the tutorial at the first run.

SyncIt currently checks on every screen on and screen off. This is the best way I thought of that could insure files are always up to date and use as little battery as possible. With periodic syncing you can not insure does are synced properly. I can add the option tho, fairly really actually. We will see.

I would recommend disabling superuser notifications for syncit. superuser beta v3 can do it on a pet app basis, v2 can only do it globally. Sadly there is nothing rise I can do about the notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] mordbane:
I don't mind the notifications. The more I know about what my phone and apps are doing the better.

But thanks for the information on the frequency of the syncing. Only other thing which you've probably already considered, is an option to Sync only when on WIFI. The potential of this app his huge. I could see someone adding their nandroid folder to SyncIt. But you wouldn't want that syncing over 3G.
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Not a bad idea... with that I got some other good ideas... options on a per file/folder basis. Custom upload locations sync options ect. May require an overhaul on the back end tho. We will see.
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
Perhaps we could all make a stab at a list for specific apps & what file(s) are used to hold info?
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
That is a great idea, as people add them to this thread i will create a list in the OP of them.

On a side note. Small update has been posted recently to address a few small issues.

.75.2 - Fixed bug of adding files with spaces.

- Changed log in process to conform with Dropbox Standards.

.75.1 - Fixed bug of closing app on first login.

- Fixed bug in creating dir path.
[Android Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Small Update to orient add file dialog to always be at bottom of screen. Previously it would be hidden if to many items had been added.

Also added new debug system to help debug force closes.

Would still love feed back on what exactly this is working and not working with. I can only do so much testing myself.
[Android Apps and Games] k|zer:
Would it not be possible to include all known file-combinations for the different apps inside the app? (So, for example, if I want to sync Angry Birds, I can just select Angry Birds from the list, and the app automatically chooses which files to sync)?
[Android Apps and Games] timtlm:
So, I came back to this app finally to see if I could get it working. I even bought the pro update, but still no go. I now have an HP Touchpad, and my Evo 4G. I've been trying to test a text file with "Test1", "Test2" inside the text file sequentially. It will upload the file from one device and it will look correct on dropbox, but when I open the app on the other device it will download, but the text file will say {"error": "File not found"}. Then if I go back into syncit, it will see that bad file as the newer version and upload it and then the original device will download it and replace the original. So, basically it will end up being an endless cycle of bad data being downloaded.

I have also tested this with the angry birds example, and basically the same thing happens except it completely wipes out the save data each time.
[Android Apps and Games] regorthegreat:

I am not able to sync files between 3 devices because of paths...? Am I doing something wrong? Or, is this a bug?

Device: Sony Xperia Play R800x (not rooted)

Unable to sync angry birds files because no root :(

So, problem is each device is using a unique path so no files sync between them. :confused:

Hello,

today i received a mail from Microfosft (I am registred as developer).

The sent me files to update to Mango. But before that they want to BackUp my phone, where my update was canceled.

It looks like the same Zune BackUp, when you do an update.

Is there any way to do this update with an HD2?

:D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
nope and you wouldnt want to either

there is a lot of HD2 specific files in this, if you dump an official update on it there is a good change you will bugger up the device again

Results + Q&A:

snail08 (JVP) (built: 21st June 2011)

- bootanimation is broken

(seems to be a regression introduced with the switch from CF-initramfs to Voodoo initramfs; I took the same kernel-source with CF-initramfs and added the changes to voodoo and bootanimation is broken)

- seems to be unstable on some phones (on my dev phone it's unstable and tends to reboot - on main phone it works like a charm)

- might work on JVH / JVO, too [not confirmed yet]

zach,

i am being a total waste of air here asking this. i have tested out ur 0.2.1 w/ the plat scripts you had out. very nice, improved Talon dramatically IMO. I am not under Talon 0.3.1 1200 340mb and liking it overall.

is this a mod to his 0.3.1 present kernel set? are the scripts already implemented and therefore no need to push any of these files anywhere?

i am just having a funny issue with freeze/softboots and a crazy ass ring upon re-boots that wont stop just short of slammin a hammer into the cappy, lol. jk. only way i got the ring to stop today was to go into silent mode for five minutes and come back out of it.

again,

sorry for the noobish-ness of all this i was just trying to clarify before jumping into it.
[Captivate Android Development] fuloplori:
Wow great tweeks man.A day went by and no issues and I've tested it quite heavily. Applied it on top of Mosaic 5 and it does wonders.Went for the 1300 vs. for more stability but might step up cuz I feel safe on ur kernel.Had talon 0.3.1 (final) a cpl days back on continuum and I had some mad overheating issues with my battery while charging, but on ur vs it's all fine.

thanks alot
[Captivate Android Development] bclark:
Applied 1200 over Mosaic V and it is running quite smooth. No OC/UV with SavagedZen scheduler.

Question though, this is a voodoo kernel but doesn't show up in the Voodoo control app?

[Captivate Android Development] tarheelblueboy87:
This looks sweet, got tired of CM7 for the moment, so thank you for bringing over some cool features from there, like fps uncap, and probably more significant things I don't understand as well. Can't wait to test!

Update after test: Wow, I'm done with CM7 for the foreseeable future. My quadrant scores with this kernel on Continuum 6.1 (JVQ) are equal if not higher than on CM7 at 1440mhz with ondemand governor, lagfix enabled. Amazing work! I guess 2.3.4 is this biggest difference in the cpu speed? CPU scores on quadrant are on par with the Nexus One now, just like CM7. Awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] Reynaldinho111:
Oh, well yeah i dont see the option to in the app anymore either i guess i thought you just couldnt figure out how to enable/disable. My bad man.
