Dear All,
I am sorry if i have posted in a wrong forum.
But currently i need to Sync my G1 with PC.
I am currently using Jac Hero ROM.
Need Help
Please suggest
A little more information so we actually know what you're talking about would be nice. What do you mean "Sync"? Are you having problems signing in to google?
I need to Sync my Contacts, Calendar and Notes on outlook to G1.
Then you need the "HTC Sync" program for your PC and phone, but it was removed from the ROM. Send a PM to "Justanothercrowd" and "ccryrowski" asking them how to push back HTC Sync apk's. Or ask in the thread.
I dunno if google has a service to sync that info with your gmail account but if it does you can do so on your pc and any changes you make in gmail will sync with your g1 ota.
I use TooDo and ToodleDo with ToodleDo Outlook Sync for tasks
There are many, many calendar sync options, including one by Google
Google has a contact sysncing app that will sync your contacts with Outlook
It's a Google phone, so most of the solutions sync to your Google account in the cloud both from/to Outlook, and from/too your phone.
My suggestion? Google it. Pick one and try it.
Lookup "touchdown" in the market. It is made to sync your outlook with your phone. If I remember right the HTC app only does email but Touchdown does the whole package.
As above, how do I use my HTC Dream to sync with my Outlook? Contacts, Calendar entries, Tasks and Notes?
I use "CompanionLink" works perfect.
Personal outlook on your home computer?
Yup, MS outlook on my home laptop.
The only way that I know of is to use a HERO or Rogers rom and the HTC Sync software. Every other solution that I've heard of is a 2 step sync from your outlook to google and then google to your phone.
You'll probably need to install the PCSCII.apk, since most devs remove it from their roms. get that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4740940&postcount=13
and then download the HTC sync software from htc.com.
Also, if you use a rogers rom, you'll only get contacts to sync, using a hero rom will get you both contacts and calendar.
So the HTC sync software will only work with HTC Hero, am I right?
I'm using it on my G1 that's flashed with Mlign's 2.5.7 Hero Rom. I have not been able to make it work with non-hero roms. But, really I haven't tried too hard at that. I don't know what it needs from the Hero rom. I assume it's the HTC framework.
google Calendar sync works great for the calendar
Oh okay, anyone tried CompanionLink? Is it good?
Companionlink is a Sync through Google solution.
I see. Can it sync contacts and notes, calendar from Outlook?
I've never tried it, but it appears it would at least do Contacts and Calendar. But, if you're willing to sync through Google, I'm sure there a cheaper or even free solutions for that.

Yes it does, it allows you do do categories, outlook folders, alarms, date range, etc (companionLink)
If i'm willing to go through google, what is some of the free applications I can use? Simple sync entries i would need is contacts, calendar entries and notes.
Sorry, I don't know off the top of my head. When I was searching for this, I saw the google has an outlook plugin that will Sync the calendar. I also saw a different plugin that would sync Contacts. I'd start with googling outlook plugins.
good luck.
Companionlink now has a Sync over USB direct with outlook. I was excited and thought that I had finally found my answer. then I read:
----------------------------
Data we sync
* Contacts sync to the built-in address book on the phone
* Calendar events sync to a custom calendar app
* Tasks sync to a custom tasks app
* Notes sync to a custom notes app
Our custom Calendar app shows events in Day view only. Month view and other scheduling options are coming. Recurring events and exceptions are supported. Adding and editing recurring events must be done on the PC.
Our custom Tasks and Notes apps support categories, sort, and search functionality.
----------------------------
Sigh, it doesn't use the built in calendar database, so it won't work with any calendar widget. So close, but still no cigar. Oh well, maybe they'll wise up and just be a sync provider.
1. CompanionLink (http://www.companionlink.com/androidusb/index.html)
2. Mark/Space (http://www.markspace.com/products/android/missing-sync-android.html)
3. Various Google Cloud <-> Outlook solutions (Paid or free, Google them)
4. HTC Sync from some HTC-specific ROMS (e.g. Hero)
Take note that since Android has no built-in notes and tasks applications, nor a standardized database structure for them, those supporting and plan-to-support notes/tasks are/will be syncing to some custom notes/tasks apps.
The Companion's solution even syncs to a custom Calendar app.

Yeah, that was the disappointing part. I don't think a custom calendar app is a good idea.
Not sure if you're willing to pay anything, but roadsync syncs calendar, contacts and e-mail. Even has a calendar widget. I think it's like $25 now (I got in early and only had to pay $10). works well for me though.
how about syncing notes from outlook? is there one that can do that?
Alright well i have tried every eclair rom to date and none of them have a working facebook sync. All the facebook sync does for some stupid reason is sync all my contacts with a shortcut to MY OWN facebook profile... I dont know why it does that, but i heard some people have theirs working. Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this because the only thing holding me from upgrading to eclair is the facebook sync problem...
Google/Android Outlook Complete Sync Mail/Contacts/Calendar/Tasks/Notes
Has any one found a complete solution for android milestone outlook sync?
Mail/Contacts/Calendar/Tasks/Notes
I just don't see android that useful without this feature to completly sync with outlook. It seems even the paid apps don't support full sync and their reviews are bad.
Also, how do I import my old SMS from WM6.1 *.pst file to Android, any tools out there?
Thanks very much ... looking forward for the Froyo update
Would like to get the answer on syncing, too. The problem might be that for example Outlook contact field do not correspond to Google contact fields - how to sync that is a big question.
If there is a solution not for sync, but for one-time convertion of all info from Outlook to Android that would be great, too.
Thank you!
Anybody have any suggestions? I have tried just about everything and I cannot for the life of me get it to sync properly. I go to accounts and add facebook. I check the sync contacts thing. I then go to contacts and try to link one and while the option for facebook is there it does not show any contacts. I have tried 3rd party syncing apps to no avail. I think it is a facebook issue/setting. Any ideas?
After tinkering around with some stuff I found out the issue is actually with the Facebook app. It seems they removed the feature to sync contacts. After some extensive research I found the latest version that they actually have the option in. The option itself is located by pressing the menu button then going to settings. It is the last option and has the name Sync Contacts. The last version that has this feature that I was able to find can be downloaded here.

I hope this helps somebody else.
