The objective of this thread is to be able to get the chrome bookmarks (desktop) into the dolphin hd browser (on the device).

I know that there are already apps that do that (syncing process). But, although they are not all paid, none of them really did what i was expecting and was a hole lot of trouble.

What were going to be doing is to "pass" the hole chrome bookmarks into the dolphin hd.

Theres no auto-sync function. Hell...actually theres no sync at all...its kind of a weird solution to be able to export the bookmarks.

so let me start by saying that the "idea" on how to do this came from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459360

in there, user wifesabitch exported the bookmarks (.html) and then transfer it to the boat browser in the phone and restore the bookmarks.

So, i took the same idea, but with my mind set in the dolphin browser.

First you have to export your bookmarks in your chrome.

1- Open chrome

Then do ---> Customize & Control (the tool logo on the upper right corner) ---> Bookmarks ----> Bookmark Manager

In Bookmark Manager go to Organize and click on the option "Export Bookmarks to HTML File"

Choose a path, name, and accept.

Ok. So now we have our hole collection of bookmarks in our nice little desktop...now what?

2- Go to your android. Open dolphin, and go search for the add-on (you can do that from the same browser) called Bookmarks to SD. Install it.

Great!. were almost there....

Now, using any file explorer, you can go to "SD/TunnyBrowser" (the dolphin folder) and youll see a new folder created there...called ...."Bookmarks". (really original...)

3- connect the android to your desktop. and copy the .html file from chrome inside that folder (SD/TunnyBrowser/Bookmarks)

4- open the newly installed add-on / app / whatever you wanna call it... (Bookmark to SD)

And youll have a few options. Go to Import. then mark in "dolphin browser" and click import.

It will ask you wich file you wanna import (you can have different ones). Choose one. and accept.

5-There you go!. you can go and check all your chrome bookmarks but within the dolphin browser.

Doas this mean that i have to do the same $"$"#$"#"#$#&T#%$&% process all over again everytime i wanna sync?

Yes. :S

Do you feel funny having to do all this mess for a simple little thing like importing bookmarks. And yet, there are ppl who can program NASA stuff?

Yes. :S

But. Hey..it is what it is.

If this help you guys, Awesome. I know that this is probably a really dumb stuff for this forum, but, i reallllllly search and could not find anything, so may be some of you can feel good having a nice simple way to do that.

I know it was good enough for me :)

Have Fun.
[Android General] JDMpire:
You know it REALLY burns me up that Dolphin cant have a "import bookmarks from file" option. If they really want to be taken seriously as a web browser, then they need this option.

Hell I bet internet explorer 2.0 had it, but in 2012 we still need to jump through all these hoops just to import some goddamn bookmarks.

(yes I am angry)
[Android General] iSilentP:
So here's what I do. Manual but less steps, perhaps. Works for me. Your mileage may vary.

I export my bookmarks from Chrome.

Upload the file to Dropbox.

Set the Dolphin HD home page to the Dropbox file.

When I want to update the bookmarks file, all I have to do is repeat the first two steps above. I'm running on a Mac and use a utility called Hazel that basically all I have to do is create the export and Hazel does the rest for me. Basically takse all of 15 seconds form to update the file on Dropbox.

Now when I hit the 'Home' button, I see a web page with all my links.

Hope this helps provide another way to accomplish the same thing that may be better suited to others.

I finde another solution. Just imported my Firefox bookmarks as .html file. Copied it to my phone. Opened it with Dolphin. It opens it as a list. And I added that listed page as bookmark.
[Android General] glensta:
Thank you for this - it was helpful to me
[Android General] JDMpire:
Well here goes nothing. I need to try this again (restored my phone)...
[Android General] arebalo:
I followed the steps but bookmark´s chrome aren`t in dolphin after import...:confused:

I have done as hopelives but would like to have more neat...
[Android General] taylormia:
This worked perfectly for me....Bookmarks imported to Dolphin HD on Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean with folders exactly as it was on my desktop Windows 8 Chrome browser.

Thanks for the awesome tip. :good:

thanks
[Android General] Chatperdu:
Thanks! Half works for me, I had installed "Bookmarks to SD" previously but it was just throwing up a whole bunch of error. Thanks for the pointer about the "Bookmarks" directory with the "Tunnybrowser" directory.

Still, after churning for a while, I got a page saying "ERROR", nothing else. This is one nasty piece of work in my book. And the fact that in this day and age, you can't sync bookmarks between browsers? The alternatives are $ based subscription service like XMarks and CMarks?

Sorry for my rant.
[Android General] SirSparkles:
Not working for me on GS3 JB rooted

Thanks to the OP for getting this going.

I tried the first post directions, but checked for the 'Booksmarks' folder in TunnyBrowser, but it was not there after installing the 'Bookmarks to SD' add-on for Dolphin.

I'm not sure if something has changed with Dolphin or the Add-On since the original post, but wondering why I don't see the 'Bookmarks' folder in sdcard/TunnyBrowser

I even created the Bookmarks folder and pasted an exported Chrome .html file in it, but 'Bookmarks to SD' will not find/see it.

Anyone else have this issue? workarounds?
[Android General] BrownNote80:
Try Dolphin Connect from Chrome Web Store. I just started using this, and my bookmarks are totally synced now between Chrome and Dolphin.
[Android General] ben_from_paris:
I confirm : it works fine !

I have deleted "chrome" which is a verry nice browser, but too "big" (>65Mo and not movable to Internal SD nor External SD)
[Android General] sdt1:
Perfect Solution!

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for :)

thank you very much
[Android General] robgee789:
anyone else having sync problems with this lately ??
[Android General] mikerr44:
Yes I am.

Have spent far too much time trying to get my bookmarks from Chrome to Dolphin without success

The sync between Chrome and Dolphin seems to be working okay.

Even have a Chrome bookmark folder showing in the Dolphin bookmarks list.

Inside are 3 files, Bookmarks Bar, Mobile Bookmarks and Other Bookmarks.

Only problem is, they are all empty.:(

[Android General] robgee789:
i loaded dolphin today and the at the top of the home screen it asked if i wanted to try the 9.4.2 beta version with flash enabled and the sync worked perfect with that version guys, if anyone cant find the 9.4.2 version just let me know and ill give you a link to it
[Android General] mikerr44:
Hi Rob,

I did download the Dolphin Beta version from the Play Store yesterday. But having exactly the same result, except there are no Chrome folders showing.Not certain what build this Beta is, as I can find no number anywhere. However flash has been disabled and it won't allow to be enabled.

The desktop Chrome is showing a link with Dolphin and even tells me how many bookmarks have been sent along with history.

Dolphin tells me it syncs okay and the download was successful. However, I cannot find the sent bookmarks anywhere in Dolphin,

I can receive a current Chrome desktop page that has been sent to Dolphin.

So, could try your source of Beta if you have the link please.

Thanks, Mike
[Android General] robgee789:
Sure mate here is the new beta version

http://www.mediafire.com/?a39p45c254c0ajf

I didn't mean get the beta version from the play store that's poo lol if you open dolphin and haven't changed the home page at the top it asks you if you want to try a new version, if the link above don't work I'll find the proper link to it mate
[Android General] mikerr44:
Hi Rob,

Thank you for the link.

Well I downloaded a copy of Dolphin using the link and initially I couldn't get it to work.

It looked exactly the same as the original standard Dolphin with no offer to try a new version.

So, I uninstalled all copies of Dolphin and reloaded the new one, asked it to sync and it did.

Showed a folder named Chrome and this time it had my bookmark files containing all 2,000 odd bookmarks.:highfive:

Must have a clearout.

Cheers and thanks again,

Mike
[Android General] robgee789:
Glad your sorted mate but my advice would be delete the bookmarks on your computer the resync that way seems to work better for me

[Eee Pad Transformer General] harryzwd:
after the latest updates from asus my transformer will not hold a wifi connection for more than 2 seconds - it keeps trying to obtain an ip address but will never stay connected. i just tried a hard reset and the problem still persists. i can't believe i'm the only one having these issues, but i don't see a specific thread here that talks about it.

is there any way to load a new ICS update or a different rom, given that i cannot connect to wifi?

any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flydev:
this happens suddenly for me ... this wasn't happen 1 or 2 days ago ... maybe an updated app .... :|
[Eee Pad Transformer General] harryzwd:
for the hell out of it i was going to reboot my home wireless router and noticed that there was an updated firmware out for it - so i installed the new firmware, rebooted, and my transformer hopped right on. anyone having issues might try sinply rebooting their router. that (and maybe the new firmware?) worked for me...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bsoplinger:
I was suddenly having connection issues myself. Turned out my neighbor moved the channels of his router onto the channels I use. This is of course after I checked what other routers near me were using and selecting free channels when I did my initial router setup. Perhaps you also have an inconsiderate or stupid neighbor. The free app Wifi Analyzer will show this sort of situation.

[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
When I first bought the Amaze 4G from Wind Mobile, the store rep told me to put the "Preferred network mode" to "WCDMA only". That was fine until I started realizing that it still goes back to "GSM/WCDMA auto" when I reboot the phone. THIS IS DANGEROUS! You will get roaming charges!

To fix this on Wind network, which will make sure it always use WCDMA on "WIND Home", you need the following:

- Rooted Amaze 4G

- adb or root explorer

In this guide, I will use root explorer. If you do not have this app, you should learn how to use adb instead and save you a few bucks

In root explorer, navigate to /system/ and find "build.prop", make a copy of it in the same directory and to your sd card if you like. Tap on the top right where it says "Mount R/W", then long press the build.prop and select "Open in Text Editor" and look for the line shown in the screenshot below:.

Change the highlighted value to "2" (without quotes) so it looks like the following:

Once that is done, press menu and "Save and Exit" option, you should now see something like this:

Reboot the phone, and go back to the "Preferred network mode" option, switch to "WCDMA only", the setting should now stick even after reboot. if it does not comment below and I will try to help you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
Great tip, my first month with WIND was about 40-50 bucks on top of the regular 30 I pay. I called them, complained (because apparently WIND's reception is so bad sometimes it turns into roaming when there's no reception and ends up charging me) and got the additional fees waived. You can also call them to disable data roaming for your particular account
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Humm.. thanks, but I would like to be able to call when I actually need to. So this deemed to be a more optimal option for me sacrificing warranty of course.

But I will for sure know now that I need to pay attention to my bill, I only have this phone and Wind service for 5 days
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I'll look into making a .bat script if possible. Good idea.
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Might be able to make an update zip, that would be easier? If not, you would just copy the modified prop file and push it using adb, chmod 644? should work just like that, have it backup the current one first though, because I can't find the stock image for Wind Mobile version anywhere.

When you get it to work as bat, feel free to add it to your toolkit
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I'd like to make one that pulls out the build.prop, replaces the line with the new edit, push it back to the phone. I'll look into it later in the week. Focusing on school atm.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bronyr:
What if you need to make a phone call while roaming? WDCMA won't cut it, you need GSM
[HTC Amaze 4G] morrislee:
Yes, but if you are in roaming, you will get charged for receiving text messages. If you do this, you are still allowed to switch back to GSM when you like to.
[HTC Amaze 4G] adslee:
I'm pretty sure I called them to tell them to disable roaming data only for me, which means that roaming calls and texts would still work. Roaming calls are typically 25 cents per minute and roaming texts are typically 15 cents per message sent, so I'm not worried about that at all.

The only thing you really need to be looking out for while roaming is data. If you're caught in an area where WIND has bad reception and decides to say that you're in the "AWAY" zone, roaming data fees will apply! They charge you 10 cents per 25 Kb - that's roughly 4 bucks per megabyte! :eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
Got mine from wind, rep that told you that is retarded beyond belief and should be sent back to training

I don't see how that is retarded, the part that she did not mention it gets reset when it reboots? Not everyone knows how every single device operates.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taserian:
I'm hoping there's something I can do to diagnose this problem further. I'm not exactly sure how to proceed.

Latest update was to Mirage's 7.2 RC1 (03-23) off of a SanDisk 32GB, which I tried after getting the same symptoms with the previous version (03-04, I believe).

The issue is that I can boot into Cyanogen Mirage, then after about 3 or 4 minutes, it restarts back to the Android w/Orbiting Arrow. If I let it go on, it will continue cycling like that until the end of time (or the battery runs out).

Like I said above, I'm unsure how to even diagnose this any further, or if there's any point to trying to fix it before I zap everything and start from scratch. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henk Poley:
I don't know wether you are on windows, os x or linux. So you'll have figure out where to type the commands by yourself for a bit.

Download the Android SDK, install the "Android SDK Platform-tools".

Connect your Nook Color over USB. Now run "adb" (from platform-tools). If you see a pretty much empty text window with "#" on the last line you are now connected to the commandline of your Nook Color.

Type "cat /proc/last_kmsg" (without the ""), hit enter. If this says anything, the last couple of lines will give a hint what your Nook Color was doing just before it rebooted.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taserian:
Right now, I'm using Windows 7 at work; I have access to both Windows and Ubuntu, though I prefer Ubuntu given the choice.

I've installed ADB, but when running the command "adb devices", the Nook Color isn't being recognized. Under the Device Manager, the Nook Color driver has a warning symbol on it, so I attempted to install the USB driver under android-sdk/extras/google/usb_driver; Windows doesn't want to recognize that as a valid driver, so I'm stuck.

I've got USB debugging enabled on the Nook, if that's a clue.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taserian:
Follow-up:

Finally got a proper ADB driver for the Nook, and adb is recognizing the device.

List of devices attached
2010610044772004 device

However, when I try:

C:\Users\[redacted]>adb -d shell cat /proc/last_kmsg
/proc/last_kmsg: No such file or directory

Any pointers?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
I would suggest you reflashing it one more time and see the problem still persists.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taserian:
Tried re-flashing it with Mirage 03-04, and no dice; it's not rebooting anymore, just staying in the Orbiting Arrow screen permanently. I think this chicken is cooked, and I'll have to install from scratch. Thanks anyway, Henk Poley and votinh!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taserian:
Back at it again with the same symptoms, but this time I've pulled what I can from "adb logcat". The following files came from a reboot and a total freeze, where I had to do a hard reboot with the power button.

Mind you, these are long files, so they've been pastebinned (pastebin limits free users to 500K, so I had to split it into two) :
