So I woke up this morning, made me a hot coffee and thought; hey, wouldn't it be awesome to have a desktop program for devices using Cyanogenmod?! Could be like "Kies" or Sony Pc Suite. I don't think I need to tell the consequences of such a program. Is there already some work in progress or am I the first one suggesting a project like this?
I don't miss Kies. And I hate iTunes.
Not having to rely on a PC sync application is one of the reasons why cyanogen/stock android is so great.

I'm agree with you. I hate programs like kies and iTunes.

Ok. I didn't told you, it could be exactly like Kies or Itunes! So calm down, please. I thought it would make the whole update process from one nightly to a newer one more easy. So you wouldn't have to check manually, if there are new nightlys, for updates. Aaand, you wouldn't have to "put the zip into the sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, chooze zip, push one million time's volume down button to hit "yes"" With a desktop app it could look like this;
Plug in your cm device>open CyanMod Desktop app>Push the "check for updates" button>a. Updates available= Push the "Yes, please update without full wipe" button. Now, everything is being done automatically....>b. No updates available....
And so on! Just imagine. But if you don't like it, it's by you =) you don't have to.

I agree it would be amazing if there was an application compatible with cyanogenmod roms that would act as a desktop client for messaging, updating the rom and stuff!!

I think software like KIES or iTunes is useless...
I must say I like the idea. I see that we have a software for every task you could possibly think of. Nevertheless it would be great to have some kind of all-in-one program. But I think it would only make sense if it is not Galaxy exclusive. I suppose it would be quite hard to develop such kind of program, but it would definitely be awesome.
And it would not mean you have to use it, just that you *could*. (people are lazy sometimes)
I like the sound of this.
there are lots of people who slate iTunes, but after having an iPhone and moving to Android. I would suggest that people have not used iTunes fully. My wish list
Program
Links to podcasts (text, mp3 and video)
Option to auto download podcasts as above
Integrated music player
Integrated music ripper
Folder updater for album art, meta data etc
Integrated video player
Integrated video ripper
Plug phone in
Option to auto start a program
Option to auto sync
Option to auto check for update
So far if I want an auto sync comparable to iTunes I need a music client, video client podcast client and for backups, I need to root my phone and do it on my phone.
It is easier to have these clients on my phone but still not as easy.
Cyanogen mod do have an updates button in the settings. This could be given a short cut on the home screen. One click (check), one click accept. Phone auto reboots and updates. I believe this is only set up for release candidates though.
The confirm bit on cwm. in the clock work mod folder add a file called
.noconfirm
if I remember correctly this gets rid of the multiple no, no, no, no etc.

have you completed the demos/tutorials yet Mr Gates?
SMS Librarian.
A texting archival service. Allowing you backup and restore sms. Allows filtering by dates and contacts. restore some of your sms or only sms by certain contacts or certain ones in a date range or all in a date range.
allows exporting sms to pdf or rtf or html
with time stamping ( for court for a restraining order for example)
and you can keep archiving either by wifi or 3g or bluetooth or you could have it by plugging your phone into usb or whatever.
This is something android lacks in any decent from.
Working on the demos and tutorials now. It's pretty neat.

Once you finish those tutorials you will realize how limited you are in the type of apps you can create with appinventor.
Keep in mind appinventor was not meant to make full fledged apps but give novices an easier time understanding how to create simple apps and what goes on when needing to initiate calls during specific conditions/events.
I played with appinventor and still use it when I am bored, but as far as making actual apps, I do it in ms visual studio.

I got accepted over a month ago and it is a pretty cool setup. But until we can use multiple windows and rotation isn't broken then it is just a novelty.
But truthfully it is very cool, to program without knowing Java.
i could use an app that will give me bluetooth hid support on sense stock rooted rom, so we could use hid and not spp bluetooth keyboards on our devices.
cm6 roms supports this. but i want to stay close to stock
there is a company that claims they have an app for this but it doesnt work.

Is there a good book/tutorial etc for getting into android programming? I'm familiar with ms visual studio, so working in there will at least lessen the learning curve somewhat,
I reporting back on something I stumbled on yesterdays after updating to the latest CM7 2.3.3 build. After updating I have been removing the sock music app then replacing it with the Honeycomb version. Upon that I was prompted with several permissions request and accepted them all. Syncing then started and I checked that under that under Account and Sync notice Music was syncing. This synced overnight. I put in a empty SDcard in. Then I went in to the Jumper Test that comes along with the Music app started the peer under the Controls tab, Ran a test under the Logs tab ( showed 785 files and the files names below) went back to the music app then went to music settings and checked Stream Music and my music started to show up! Played a few songs no problems at all. Let me know if this is working for anyone else.
*EDIT*
So I guess this inst working anymore. I did test this when I originally posted this but i cant get it to work anymore. Sorry guys not yet
is there a way to access those files from a computer too? i mean since its synced in the cloud, could be really useful.

If your objective is to have your music available everywhere, try AudioGalaxy. it streams to computers, android and iDevices.
How did you replace the app? I tried to but the honeycomb music just keeps FC'ing
As far a a URL to go to on a computer I haven't found anything. Ill post the apk i used when I get by a computer sometime later. Basically I just used root explore to delete the stock music app then installed the honeycomb player.

Gotcha. Did that, syncing now...
So, I have a question..
If you already have these songs on your phone, why would you want them "put them in the cloud", so you can play them on your phone, where they are already???????

So you don't have to keep gigs of music on your ad card. This is great news!
If they're in a cloud they dont need to be on his phone. In return he saves space on his memory card. However, if they're not on your phone they're not going to play when you dont have a connection.
I wonder if running a logcat during sync would reveal where this cloud is?
ah, that makes sense..
although, I have a 32 gig card, so i dont care that I have 10 gigs of music on my card..
Plus, thats a good point about not being able to play your music if your connection goes south...
Wait does this download the songs back into the SD card or does it stream your synced music from the cloud?

Hey everyone,
I love my tab from I/O but as a Mac user I am stuck with no way to connect it to my mac to put videos on or anything. Every time I attach it to my Mac (or even PC) it wants to load Kies. It doesn't give me the option to mount as disk or anything.
On my Windows 7 PC it does allow me to browse it as a folder but I don't use my PC for any video downloading or anything. Is there a solution for Mac? I tried downloading the DMG for Honeycomb tablets from Android.com but it still didn't work for the Samsung tab. Not sure what to do here.
Second thing... someone needs to break a version of the new Netflix app to work on Honeycomb. I can get the app to load as is but it won't let me play video, says that this device is not supported.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Did you try this: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/ Should work. I used it with the Xoom and it worked like a charm.
Also if you have the SDK installed you can use ddms to open a file explorer. (In the same menu where you can launch the screen capture app)

I did try that and it did not work, because I think Kies is persistent and messes with it. Any other ideas would be great.
And to be clear: neither Kies on the mac nor Windows recognizes it either -- they say it's an unsupported device.
I managed to get a movie on it for the flight home by connecting in windows (VMware), installing Kies (for the drivers) and mounting it as an external drive.

Really that would be a disaster for the 10.1v because of a lack of a SD card...... It would mean that one only can transfer files over a network.
But I assume that uninstalling Kies would solve this?

Anyone else know anything that might help? I don't have Kies installed and cannot get it to work on my Mac.

I tried both the Windows and Mac versions of Kies, and ended up having some luck with XJNB. I have a post on my blog (at surfsoftconsulting.com) explaining this, have a look at the Galaxy Tab First Impressions entry. The problem seems to be that Samsung's implementation of MTP is rubbish. Worst case scenario is that the update to 3.1 will include Google's own (and hopefully less buggy) implementation. I guess a more worse case is that Samsung have donated their code to 3.1... sigh.
I should add that since doing a factory reset I've not been able to get XJNB to work with the tablet :-( so I shall probably move to using a Wifi based solution

filetransfer doesn't work - at least not for me - with the I/O Galaxy Tab 10.1 (MacBook Pro early '08, OS X 10.6.7). I've written more elsewhere on this thread, I won't repeat it here.
hi,
i'd like to know if there is any ROM to turn my old Desire HD in a MP3 Player (no phone stuff, contacts, etc).
thks
Take out the sim card/permanently keep the phone in offline mode.
Get a good player like winamp/poweramp. I would suggest poweramp, also remember to enable the lockscreen player.
This app says it will allow you to run an app of your choice
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.autostart
Also remember to install some cpu tweaks so that it will make the battery last longer.
This is the easier way of getting it done.
ok, so there is no dedicated ROM ?
anyway your plan sounds good
thank you
There maynot be a dedicated rom for this, but that definately seems to be a better way forward. In case you change your mind at anytime you can just plug i n a simcard and you are sorted.
In theory you could also remove the unwanted apks like dialer, messaging, email, etc etc.

I believe so.. just open the ROM using an Archiving utility (7zip, Winrar, WinZip e.t.c) and delete the .apks from the relevant areas

This is pretty cool. You can mirror your Note on your PC and control it using your PC's keyboard and mouse. It's a great way of editing and reviewing S Notes on your PC while they are still in native form on the Note. It connects either over USB (with debugging turned on) or over Wi-Fi.
Here's the desktop app...
http://www.mobizen.com/en/?page_id=236
Here's the Play store app for the Note...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5yc3VwcG9ydC5tdmFnZW50Il0.
I can confirm this works well with the Note 10.1, thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Edit: You have to download the APK from their website as the market version reports it is incompatible with the Note. The downloaded version has the correct skin for the note.
Great app but it`s not showing the proper skin for me (downloaded and installed the apk from their site version 1.0.1.26).
Anyone wanna post the apk file, play store says it's incompatible with ALL my toys and can't find the apk file on the mobizen site.....
Doesn't help I just finished work and have to start again in 7 1/2 hours....

The desktop app reads the device's model number when it connects. I have a N8000 and it worked fine. It also worked for my N7100. I don't know about the N8010/13 or non-international versions of Samsung's devices. The company that built the app is in Germany and probably doesn't know the N8013 even exists (as well as Samsung phones with carrier specific model numbers).
Well it`s woking fine with my note2 (n7100) too and showing with the proper skin. I have the n8000 but for some reason it`s not showing the proper skin. Anyway as long as it`s working ..... Thx for the great recommendation!

Reading the user reviews in Google Play, a lot state that they took away WIFI. Can someone confirm that? I'd really love this if it could be used over WIFI.
Maybe downloading the apk from the link provided early instead of downloading it from Google Play will still have WIFI available??

After you install it on the device and start it, it asks you if you want to download the wireless module (APK) to use it over Wi-Fi. Still works for me. Once it's set up, all you need to do is start the desktop app and it automatically finds and starts the app on the device if its connected to Wi-Fi.
