I just read an article at the Register about a free app to sync an android with iTunes. I haven't used it yet as I am at work, but maybe someone has or will?

The article - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/09/itunes_sync_for_droid/

The app - http://www.droid-itunes.com/
[G1 Apps and Games] boosted13b:
Actually works!!

Pretty Cool! Just make sure to turn on USB debuging when you want to sync.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ssantos6981:
I would never sync with Itunes, a useless resource hog of an app. I would rather drag-n-drop. Screw sync. I returned my ipod for that same reason, too much BS to fill it up with songs. Settled for a regular MP3 player that can also be used as an 8gb flash drive.

But I guess if it works the guy did a good job with the app. The blackberry's can't even get a working sync with itunes that doesn't continue to crap out. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] phuKKah:
Stopped reading there.

Just because you have an obviously outdated rig and can't run iTune's without incredible lag with your 256 mb of RAM doesn't mean the rest of us do.

Thank you OP, I never even knew this existed at all.
[G1 Apps and Games] nephron:
been searching for somethin like this for like ever! Thanks :D
[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
If anyone can post a link to a detailed Ubuntu guide for newbies to root the Hero and remove stock apps, I would appreciate it. The guide posted doesn't go into too much detail in Ubuntu since the OP said that he could not get it to work in Ubuntu. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] Negrito:
Wouldnt the Mac version work since they are both *nix?
[Hero CDMA General] Stevious:
I was able to root my Sprint HTC hero just fine running Jaunty. I followed the instructions in the guide you mentioned, for Ubuntu. One thing I noticed is before adb recognized my phone, I had to start "HTC Sync" from the phone's notifications. Just ignore the error about it not finding HTC Sync on your PC. Obviously it never will since HTC Sync is a Windows app :cool:

Here's the step by step that worked for me: http://romeosidvicious.com/2009/11/09/rooting-the-htc-hero-with-ubuntu-karmic/

I typed it so I could find it easily if necessary and figured why not share it....
[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
romeosidvicious,

Thanks for all your hard work. I and others really appreciate it.
[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
Yep, that is something I had to do in windows XP as well. It will help many others as well. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
Great, now my Ubuntu Jaunty machine won't detect the phone. I did the above but it still won't work. Im gonna reboot and retry...

Edit:

Nope, no love for my Ubuntu. It's not seeing the Hero. I will have to research this one.. If anyone has suggestions, please chime in.
[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
Ok, found a solution:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537508

----------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the part that solved it for me:

Setting up UDEV to recognize HTC Device -

1. Type the following into a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal):

Code:

gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

2. Now add the following line to the blank file:

Code:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

3. Click save and close.

4. To restart udev, open up a terminal and enter:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to Wddglr for all the useful info. It looks like I will be using other things he posted about. Hopefully that info will help someone else.
[Hero CDMA General] Stevious:
Just curious, which version of Ubuntu are you running? I didn't have to make any UDEV changes in Jaunty.
[Hero CDMA General] Onompoly2:
I want to follow through with this...

I was following this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArMO5IHS2eI

until the step came to plug it in and then he suggested typing "adb devices" which told me this.

"~/android-sdk-linux/tools$ adb devices

bash: adb: command not found"

So I came here and I want to follow the links tutorial.. two questions

Is it safe to proceed even though i've been told adb: Command not found

will i be able to proceed although ive been told this command is not found?
[Hero CDMA General] Stevious:
Try:

sudo ./adb devices

From the same directory. Or, you can specify the full path:

sudo ~/android-sdk-linux/tools/adb devices

To answer your other questions, it won't work if it says the command is not found.
[Hero CDMA General] Onompoly2:
Okay

It worked but I must have turned into an idiot when i decided my operating system was good enough.

This isn't working, and I am not even upgraded to the operating system the tutorial is written for...

194 updates due... running 8.04 with a bunch of double half installed broken applications.. maybe I should reformat.

I'll let you guys know how things go which ever way it goes.
[Hero CDMA General] Onompoly2:
back again. fresh 9.10 install fully updated.

Following this

http://romeosidvicious.com/2009/11/09/rooting-the-htc-hero-with-ubuntu-karmic/

I get this far

It seems as though after it says "SUCCESS" that my terminal just stops responding to code...

Tried reading the link to where he made the tutorial from, but its a mixture of ubuntu and windows with 30 pages of posts.

Any thoughts/help?

Thanks

[Continuing]

So just pretending that everything is going as planned I reboot the phone and it actually turns my computer off as well..

So I continue with the steps.

But Get permission denied.

I'm going to go ahead and start over but skip the first line that i input that said SUCCESS and stopped the terminal.

(really don't know what i'm doing but I think I need to get these two lines in

cat sh > su

chmod 4755 su)

EDIT: on second thought perhaps this has something to do with me being logged in as root on my computer from the get go, i'll try that.

:confused: A dummy and his cell phone perhaps soon part.
[Hero CDMA General] buck2202:
It looks like you copy/pasted this whole section as a block. I think you need to execute the commands one at a time, and wait for a new "#" prompt between each one. The reason the terminal stops responding is that as one long string, it's not a meaningful command.
[Hero CDMA General] Onompoly2:
I didn't, although i did try that as well

after I would do the mount commands i would no longer get a $ or a # sign, it was just a bunch of nothingness...

I ended up booting up my girlfriends vista and then spent quite a while figuring out how to get the driver for adb, I had to follow two different windows guides for rooting for some reason as well... so if that says anything.. just imagine how long it took me to realize how to get the driver hahah
[Hero CDMA General] theresthatguy:
no, I'm having the same problem. After the "mount" command it gives me nothing.

Edit: doing this in karmic
[Hero CDMA General] buck2202:
Odd. I've had no problems following the generic procedure from theunlockr on ubuntu. My only suggestion would be to turn

./adb shell /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

into

./adb shell
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

I'm not sure why it should make a difference, but on my computer "./adb shell <command>" exits the shell when it finishes. From what you've pasted, it doesn't look like that's happening to you, but that's my only guess right now.

If you run "./adb devices" do you see your serial number?

And out of curiosity, why are you running as root on your computer? (sudo su) Have you tried just starting the adb server as root, and running the rest of the commands normally? Does this work?

./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
./adb devices

Sorry to be one of those people that ask a question that has already been asked...but I can't seem to find the right answer.

I am running Cyanogen 4.2.3.1 and Amon Ra 1.2.3. I had a 1GB sd card and had it partitioned using Amon Ra partition method. Everthing was running fine, but i wanted a bigger sd card. Got a new 8GB class 6 and partioned that using the same method as the previous card. I had backed up my 1GB sd card to my computer and puth those files onto the new 8GB card. After doing this my phone didnt have any of the apps installed on the 1GB card. The market says thay are installed on my phone but my phone cannot find them. Please Help!

Thanks in advance.
[G1 General] evilkorn:
Did you backup and restore your ext partition? Because that is where the apps are stored if you have the partition.
[G1 General] young1:
hey,first off did you install your apps from the sd card or download from the market place? because if it was on the market place i think you will have to re-download them again iam not sure,

Is it possible to flash a Blackberry and change its crappy OS for a nice Windows Mobile ROM? I mean, the Blackberry Bold is a great piece of hardware and it could be a great device if it would be possible to run Windows Mobile on it.

Any brilliant ROM cooker from XDA tried this already or thinking about trying it?

Thank you.
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
No, it's about impossible to do that. If WinMo were open source, maybe, but it's so complicated and device specific that you would have to make the bootloader and many other complex and low level portions of the OS from scratch. I've never ever heard of anyone porting Windows Mobile to an existing device that didn't come with it. Sorry, but it looks like you're stuck with Blackberry's OS.
[General Topics] hgrimberg:
And what about Android, or Maemo? There was a rumor about Android for BB...
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Hypothetically it would be possible, but you'd need a large enough demand for the devs to get involved. First, they'd need to reverse engineer the device as to know what internal hardware it uses and if that can be compatible with Android/Maemo. Then, they'd need to modify the kernel to support the device. All the while, they'd need a Linux bootloader, like HaRET for Windows Mobile, so they could test and make adjustments accordingly.
[General Topics] hgrimberg:
Thank you Dave. Hard to believe nobody did it already...

And by the way, would you prefer a Nokia N900 with Maemo over a Tilt 2 with WinMo 6.5?

Maybe Maemo is more stable...
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
While Maemo looks very promising, and I'd love to one day get my hands on something comprable (maybe N900, or even xpPhone), I'm a pretty hardcore Windows Mobile fan. Plus, XDA-Developers is great, so I'd probably pick the Tilt2 simply because I like hacking these devices to their very limits, an area where Windows Mobile never fails me. However, I'd say that a person's smartphone preferences are extremely personal, so what may work for me may be disappointing to others. If you can play around with either in a store, I'd highly recommend doing so before purchasing either device.
[General Topics] hgrimberg:
After having 2 phones with Windows Mobile, I ended up with the conclusion that WM is very unstable, very slow and it crashes too much. Sometimes you don't get a call simply because the system crashed without you noticing. Maybe the processor has to be like 1000 MHZ+ to handle this very heavy OS.

I would suggest you to wait for the Omnia Pro with the sliding keyboard that comes with a 800 mhz processor instead of Tilt 2 with a 528 mhz which is a bit old now.

Maemo seems like a more stable OS and it can also handle VOIP. The only 2 OS that have a native skype client are the WM phones and the Nokia N series like the N900 with Maemo.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
... and the iPhone....
[General Topics] hgrimberg:
No, the iphone has a native skype client that only works over wifi, not over 3G, so its worthless. You can use skype over 3G only if you use Fring.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
It's working just great with 3G Unrestrictor. I always conduct a lot of Skype calls over 3G.

All you need is jailbreak your phone and purchase 3G Unrestrictor.
[General Topics] hgrimberg:
Is there a way to do the same with a Blackberry Bold and make skype possible over 3G as a VOIP call?

Is this possible? I want to be able to stream like pandora or my MP3's to my car radio. My car radio sux and doesnt have an input jack...nor bluetooth..its an older 2000 alero

Normally I'd buy an FM transmitter to stereo jack piece of hardware..but I thought maybe check with you guys first to see if its possible to wireless transmit my music to the car radio.

Maybe I do need an FM Transmitter tho eh?

unless your car has bluetooth, then yeh you need a transmitter...

ps, i recently purchased a garmin touch screen gps with an fm transmitter and an sd card slot, so i just put my micro sd in an sd card adapter and into the gps and stream to the car radio!:)

[General Questions and Answers] melvynadam:
I'd like to configure alarms so that regardless of the system sound settings they still vibrate.

The built in "Clocks and Alarms" app only supports vibration when the system is not on Silent.

I've experimented with Pocket Alarm but couldn't get the desired outcome.

GAlarm was problematic because of some issues I had with the auto-rotation of my device and the graphics in Galarm getting subsequently messed up.

Is there a clock alarm out there capable of meeting this simple request?
[General Questions and Answers] dongni filth:
for my suggestion:

1/ the room has some errors ==> upgrade another one

2/ check again all settings in Sound & Notification
[General Questions and Answers] melvynadam:
The ROM has no errors. I am not the first person to complain about this behaviour of WM. It's the standard behaviour.

Sounds and Notifications has no setting that can control this. I don't want to turn off sound on all reminders.

I need to be able to set specific alarms to only vibrate regardless of the system sound settings.
[General Questions and Answers] TheRem:
here's a No Sound wav file... assign it as your alarm tone.
[General Questions and Answers] melvynadam:
I already have a silent file on my machine which I use for startup and shutdown.

This is not the solution.

I don't want to turn off sound on all reminders.

I need to be able to set specific alarms to only vibrate regardless of the system sound settings. When I use a silent file as the alarm tone in (for example) Pocket Alarm, the vibration also gets turned off.

Hi to All,

This is my first thread on the site. Forgive me if I do anything wrong.

Introduction

I have been using the auto answer feature on my touch hd and have found it to be very useful especially when driving. However, this feature is not easily accessible when you want to toggle between on and off. I decided to come up with this application (myCar Profile) and I would like to share it with you.

MyCar Profile

This application allows auto answer for incoming calls and automatically turns speakerphone on without pressing any buttons on windows mobile professional devices. I am not trying to replace the default feature but simply making it easier to access and use the feature. I have also made it possible to use auto answer with or without a headset.

The application is not code signed therefore you have to grant access if your device is appication locked.

Tips

1) The application should be running to enable the features to work.

2) The talk after (0-30) seconds should the less than the value set for call forwading otherwise your incoming calls will go to voicemail.

3) Assign a hardware button to the application to allow easy access. (Personally I use AE Button Plus to get more button options, I dont know if there are free alternatives)

4) On exiting the program your phone settings will be retained.

FAQ

Q - I have installed myCar Profile but the app does not answer incoming calls

A - Ensure talk after (0-30) seconds is less than the value set for call forwading otherwise your incoming calls will go to voicemail. Also some lock screen software and call intercepting software may be interfering with myCar Profile. Add the app to the exclusion list or change appropriate settings such as [Don't use KeyBoard Hook = OFF in S2U2.] You may also disable offending software temporarily.

Update - 24-01-2010

MyCar Profile Version 0.6 - [Updated app to remove notification on soft key. Added new menu MINIMIZE ON LAUNCH - this menu enables the application to be minimized automatically on start up. Added new menu SAVE STATUS ON EXIT - this menu enables the application to save talk after seconds, speakerphone & auto answer status (i.e. either ON or OFF). Once saved the status will be loaded on next start up.]

Donations: I created this app for anyone who needs it free of charge. However, if you appreciate my work and would like to buy me a beer click Here. Continue to use the app freely without any obligations.

Previous Versions:

MyCar Profile Version 0.5 - [Updated app to include icon & bubble notification. Added a new menu SHOW NOTIFICATION]

MyCar Profile Version 0.4 - [Updated app to increase compatibility with other software. Added a new menu ENHANCED SPEAKERPHONE]

problem with iGO8 on

the new version works great in my polaris, wm 6.1 official rom! it's compatible with s2u2 which i'm happy about and works even if the phone is at a sleep mode. however, when my iGO8 is on, the speaker on does not work (the auto answer works though). i hope you can find a fix for this. most of the time, i use my gps while driving and i get calls quite often. it would be perfect if the speaker on works too.

thanks a lot for this great app!

one suggestion too. if you can make an icon for your app and place it on the taskbar at the top (together with the battery, signal strength, etc.) so that it tells us that it is on and running. perhaps clicking on that icon can also open it to change the setting, or quit the app.
