iTunes Sync from Desire FroYo? - Droid Eris Android Development

I have been really excited over the new desire froyo. I had no idea that it supported direct iTunes sync. Is there any way this can be built into an eris rom? I would really love this since I'm totally sick of DoubleTwist and all the 3rd party sync options. Thanks.

Look dude devs are trying to port it over but it is hard since it is a different screen size than the Eris and they have to change all of the file sizes to fit the Eris which is hard because there is a hell of a lot of files.
I would love to have this Rom also but it is going to be a bit before we get it.

I haven't looked much into it but it should just be 1 or 2 apks that need to be ported for iTunes sync. If somebody PM's me the original rom, I can check it out.

I really don't care if I have to wait. I just wanted to know if it was possible. Yay. I'm looking forward to the day when I can do this

Out could be possible if outs built into a rom and strictly use apps2sd. But the you could lose some performance.

I was looking into this yesterday because I thought that it would show up under itunes like the ipod does (or how the palm pre used to) but then I found out that it only worked under HTC Sync so I lost interest....

Is the Eris leak the same as the Legend Leak?

I cant make out the difference. Or are they the same? What does everyone think.
definitely different, performance is quite similar between them though.
No, its different. Legend is cleaner.
i have liked legend better. Kinda wondering how 2.1 for the hero is gonna look like.

But... I already have Friend Stream?!?!?!
My question is, we have several extremely good 2.1 ROMS, based off both Eris and Legend. Why would anyone switch to the actual released ROM? IMHO, I think it's a better idea to let the devs play with the official releases and let them give us something better (as they always do - thanks, guys!)
I havent messed with any legend leaks, but im willing to bet eris is as close as we'll be getting. I hear legend is a bit more dried up, easier to use....user friendly?
Hey, 2.1 was released for the Hero today anyway, right? Jk
Friend Stream defined

Friend Stream is an HTC app that takes advantage of facebook, twitter, and flikr. Since you're linked to all 3 accounts in Legend 2.1, it combines the accounts in one straming app. It kinda looks like the facebook wall, but it's a combination of all activity in all three accounts. More info at HTC's Website. or try it out in DarchLegend 4.2.2.

I tried to use Friendstream but my just keeps updating. WTF.

Would it be possible to run MOTOBLUR on the Hero?

Just wondering if anyone had tried porting it or anything like that. That would be neat.
Go ahead and try it. Let us know how it works out for you...
I'll try and fiddle around with it.
There was a thread about it and someone was working it, but its under all these topics. Would be nice to have though.

I don't think any true "porting" would be necessary. If we were to push/pull the right apks/libs, it would probably fire right up. They have a system dump of the Motorola Enzo in the general Android development forums that I was looking at last night... the system/app directory seemed to contain multiple apks related to the blur interface...
I didn't look to far into it... unsure if it'll run on 2.1 currently. I'd rather work on porting Windows Mobile Classic.
I attempted and got it booting, but didn't have time to fix the issues.
Once we get FriendStream I think blur is useless.

Maybe, but FriendStream honestly kinda sucks compared to MotoBlur in my opinion. Not as feature rich.
do they even have motoblur yet running on anything 2.1? Don't think the droid has it...
If you are going to try. Go download s_blur on the G1 forums, it would give you a good starting base, then take it appart pull its kernel out, put our kernel in.
I had to stop when I was having issues with my linux liveCD and using CPIO. Can't unpack/repack the files with out that. and for some reason it just wouldn't work for me. I was going to try again one day because it would be cool.
But anyways:
Once you get our kernel in it, it will boot. but just about everything force closes.
Where do you get FriendStream?

?, I haven't found it to be anymore feature packed (From what I tried on the Moto Backflip), FS is more compacted whereas MB is split (widget wise).
I think its better split up cause if you follow a lot of people its hard to manage that with FriendStream, I dont know.
if it was possible to port onto the HTC Touch then its possible for our phone it just requires a dev with the knowhow and the demand for such a rom. lets be honest as much as our devs love to tweak their phones they also need some love in the form of donations because this work isnt easy. I was building my own roms for my Touch before the Hero came along and it was tedious work. That said if its ever done I will try this out as I just bought my girl a Moto Cliq and she seems to LOVE it. I honestly tho will never buy another phone that isnt made by HTC
I was fiddling around with this too. I got it to boot and connect to Sprint.... but that's all I got it to do.

You act like that's a bad thing. I know nothing about building roms, but a start is a start. Anyhow, a blur rom would be awesome to have. I personally like the look of motoblur.
I had this running on the touch vogue when it first came out. It's ok but sense is way better for me and really don't do the social networking thing. Now if it had anti-social networking I'd be using it right now.

Android build containing Motoblur?

I was wondering whether anyone has developed a working ROM that contains Motoblur within the build? For me, that would be a fascinating alternative to the HTC Sense interface or the plain vanilla one through Nexus One or G1. Thanks!
I agree while motoblur gets a lot of hate it would be fun to see whats all the fuss about
sent from my hd2 aka tmobile evo running on some froyo
I'm in also. I would use MotoBlur and also the UI from the new Droid 2.
ive owned a moto cliq , it really great for facebook and twitter heads
but i was honestly thinking the same thing
honestly I hated the silly motorola ui on my cliq, I do miss the badass keyboard tho. Poor guys at modmymoto are still waiting on the 2.1 update

There's a Motoblur.apk floating around but it doesn't work on my Droid. Can someone modify it for Droid?

I'm not sure if I would want the original motoblur but the version on the DroidX and Droid2 are pretty sweet. The build in email app is just about the best I've seen on Android so far.
is this even possible thou? since it is coming from motorola and not htc.
Wouldn't work on mine either. MCCM 1,5. Wouldn't install.
Same here. That .apk file is defective!
been awhile since this was brought up... anyone try'n or gonna try to see this can be done?

yup...
but just to make this interesting, i am assuming you are on verizon considering you are in this forum section?
droid 2 if you want a hard keyboard.
the new htc phone coming out with the slideout keyboard looks interesting.
Samsung fascinate has a bright future but i would wait till froyo hits it cause they are having serious lag issues. Plus froyo might allow the user to use google as their search engine. (all assuming you don't root)

Ice Cream Sandwich

Sooooooo conference is over... I can just image what can be done through development on phones now. Now that the SDK is available, hopfully we will see some ICS this month? Im excited!
What are your favorite features? (If you watched the conference)
Without source code we're basically SOL for a daily driver, but SDK ROMs are cool to check out

The face unlock seems cool but what is your in a dark place like a bar. I hope they have an alternate way to unlocking it in that situation.
The new camera app looks sweet and I love how fast it can snap pictures on the Galaxy Nexus.
Taking out physical buttons was brilliant. Not only does it make the screen bigger but this way you can have what ever buttons you like (fully customizable). Unlike now as I never use the search button on my Dinc.
i Love the idea of the facial recognition, im sure rooted devices could eventually impliment thaf into unlocking apps too.
and when they had the mess up, it looked like it went to the pattern unlock, so i guess thats a back up.
the buttons was also great, much more room for larger screens, but the lack of physical buttons also worries me a bit.
hopefully some nice development will come out of this, so far i think this is the best android version with the most features and ui changes

Someone will get the SDK on the DInc, Gingerbread was on our device by this time of night last year....they're just lagging behind xD

Well, I think it's the ICS apps at least...
Can't wait to so CM8/9 to start showing up. Please make it work on the Incredible.(and the RZR too)
Yeah hope we get some ICS roms soon. Since I'm holding out on a Droid 4 or anything with a QWERTY keyboard, that's not that Samsung toy

If some roms get good enough, i might ditch miui and give it a try. its exciting to see what all has been put into it.
hats off for google!

Here's my question...
The ICS Google Music app was already leaked a couple weeks ago. Will the other updated apps (like Gmail, for example) be made available to Gingerbread users as well (either via apks or official market update)?

Without a front facing camera, facial unlocking doesn't seem practical on our device

I like the new font.
it may not seem practical with our phones, but you could always use the other camera, turn your phone facing you, and hope it recognized you.
the bricked layout is nice, its not as simple as windows phones, but its a great balance between simplicity and advanced customizability.
also i believe some apks in ics will be ported for other android versions too.

Yes, most likely through market updates. Although if your willing to try you could attempt to install the apk from the system dump. I might mess something else up though, and even if it didn't I don't think the gmail widget would work.

Edit: don't try, it won't work unless its Deodexed
I think there were a lot of decent updates but truthfully, my life is run by my calendar and I think that was a great update.. looking forward!
