Synchronizing Google Bookmarks with android bookmarks

....as the title says, is it possible?

I don't think there is. I wish they'd add that ability along with the ability to sync notes to there as well. Considering, both are part of the "Notebook".
Then again, I don't think Chrome even has this ability yet.

I agree... but im not using Chrome just using firefox with GMarks

The only way I know of so far is to download My Bookmarks from the market and export your google bookmarks then import them using My Bookmarks

If you have a rooted device you can edit the browser.db file...
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser.db "SELECT * FROM bookmarks;"

You will need to write an app who adds/sync's your bookmarks to your device.

Thanks for this! I was wondering where these were stored, and thinking about maybe writing a quick xmarks importer.

Thinking??? You should definitely do that, I would actually pay money for an app that can synchronize my xmarks to my g1

Sycning Google bookmarks with android is possible with http://www.gettransmute.com/android/
As far as syncing xmark(foxmarks) with android there was someone working on some code but he never finished. I think the code is on his site if someone else wants to give it a try.

Yup, that would be a $2.99 app if I ever saw one.

The latest Chrome builds have bookmark sync inbuilt, i bet integrated Android bookmark sync is right around the corner..
Currently they use your Google Account to host a Google Docs document containing the information about your bookmarks.

Reviving this thread
Amazing that two years later there is still no android <-> chrome bookmark sync...
A newer app that seems to handle this reasonably well (I am not affiliated): ChromeMarks

Flux - Google Reader

I found this app on the Market for anyone that came from or is coming from Android. It's probably the best Google reader app.
Syncs and everything!
Has anyone downloaded or bought the app? What does the paid version do?

Thanks

Is it better/faster that NextGen Reader?

I don't know. I'll download NextGen and let you know though!
You can also check out this article that came out on PocketLint:
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/43624/best-windows-phone-7-apps
I'm throttled on my HTC Radar (T-Mobile slowed down my Internet) and the app still downloads e articles pretty quick. I love it.

What is the diff between The trail and full version ?

With paid version you get:
Multiple Live Tiles, you can pin any feed/folder to start
Full image caching, with Trial version the caching is limited to images of the newest 25 articles per sync
Option to change font size in article-reading
Hope this helps,
edoardo
PS: I'm the developer of Flux, with your purchase you also receive lots of Flux Love!

Thanks/ I think you can add this on the market place listing.
Second I am not able to make this app work since 4 days now. It is stuck at Syncing Subscription. Any idea ?

I'm using omnia 7 and works fine, I like it Very useful, also in the trial version

I downloaded NextGen, and I guess it's all about tastes.
I found Flux satisfies me more.
@edonistart, under subscriptions- what is *misc?

For me is much better Reader2Go...

Unfortunately we're using the Google ClientLogin Authentication, which doesn't support 2-step verification.
We'd need to adopt OAuth, maybe we'll add in a future release.
Thanks for reporting this problem!

images not working
Hi edonistart.
I have downloaded your app Flux today as it look like a great google reader app. Their is one problem I can't get the images working on the tile view for articles or on my live tiles. How do I set this up in the settings?
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike, thanks for your support!
Go to settings and check these settings:
caching tab
- Cache images: wi-fi only (or always if you're not on a wi-fi)
- When not cached, download images: always
live tiles tab
Show image of newest unread: Yes
For the images to be shown, the article must have at least one image in the "preview" (the html got by the feed).
Hope this helps,
edoardo
PS: I'll follow up in email too, so to be sure that everything is working as expected.

PDF on galaxy note

i dont know much about pdf files ect but what im wanting to do is....
I work self employed and have to email my invoices to people, i currently do this via my computer. Is there a way i can save a template of my invoices on my note and send them via email on my note? If not. Is there anything i can download regardless of cost so that i can do this?
Someone said something to me about pdf or something along them lines.

I'm not exactly sure what you're wanting here but how's this?
Create an invoice template in Word format on computer.
Copy it to the phone.
Use Polaris Office to edit the template and create individual invoices.
You can then use the app below to create PDF files from your Word invoice. I've not tried the app myself so no promises.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.thinkti.android.wordtopdf

wordtopdf requires internet connection to convertion to pdf
You can try "Smart Office 2" it seem it do not require internet connection.

There are actual invoicing apps on Play that allow you to design, create, and track your invoices.

Dave

Thanks guys for your reply's....
what it is, is that i have a invoice template which is saved on my computer, and every sunday i need to fill it in and e-mail it to people.
but at the moment, its just a microsoft work document, can i simply transfer that to my phone? and will i be able to open it up on my phone and fill it out? then send it via email?

Yeah, no problem to just edit and email a Word doc with Polaris Office.

i've just tried the polaris office, copied my invoice template across from my computer to my phone, then went into my GMail, went to 'attach' and my only option is camera or screen capture.
so how do i get my invoice?
ignore that last message, just noticed i have to send it via polaris.
thanks alot guys, think i got it sorted now.

No worries. Glad you're sorted.

I know this is a long shot BUT......
is there a way i can keep my invoices which i'll be filling out on my note, synchronised with the computer, so i can keep track on either computer or phone?

Best option would be to use dropbox ( if cloud storage is ok ) to sync with pc . Nothing syncs better. U can also get dropsync app to have physical copies of the files in a specific folder in the phone.
If u dont like ur files to be in cloud, u can use a wifi file syncing app like cheetah sync

If you use dropbox on your computer and your note then you can synchronize the folder containing the invoices.

Dropbox is fab. There are phone and pc apps. Put your invoices in the folders and the sync from one to the other.
If you use this link http://db.tt/APjkjZp I get a bit more storage

You can use google drive also. Sync time is quite faster.

Nexus 5 Stock Alerts

I made a script to alert me when the Nexus 5 was available, and I figured I'd share the love.
This python script watches 7 different pages, and posts notifications when it detects a change (with the text 'nexus 5'). It posts a message using a twitter account (@n5stock). The cool part about this is you can easily get push notifications in the twitter account, or sms notifications. Based on my tests, notifications were received within ~2 seconds of me sending them.
Basically, there are two ways to get notifications:
Twitter Push Notifications:
Open @n5stock using the twitter app
Follow @n5stock, select 'face' icon on left, and select 'Turn on notifications'
SMS Notifications (works with Google Voice):
Text 40404
Login, or reply with a new username (that doesn't exist)
Text 'ON n5stock'
Here are the pages it's watching:
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_5_black_16gb
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_5_black_32gb

Hopefully this helps some people out. I was definitely wasting waayy too much time refreshing / watching news sites for the release.

I signed up earlier today, when I saw it mentioned on GottaBeMobile.
Very ingenious!. Thanks!

Last year for the Nexus 4, on release day the sales were supposed to start at 11am ET/8am PT, but REALLY went live about 15 minutes early... When people logged on at 11am ET, Nexus 4 stock was GONE.
For this, you will get a text alert when the Nexus 5 shows up in Google Play. Great idea! :good:

Yup, that was pretty much my thought process. I'm guessing they'll be moving very quickly - selling out will help with publicity, so I'm betting Google will be aiming to do exactly that. I anticipate a similar stock situation to what they had last year.
If people see other urls to watch, let me know. I plan to keep this up after the first batch is sold, and send out alerts when it goes back instock (so don't despair if you miss the first batch).

Not disagreeing with you about the site in general. But this time, the article was helpful. I even re-posted it in another forum. So, funny seeing the guy who made the in-stock script here.
Can't wait for this phone!

I really hope this won't be necessary until after the announcement. It would be pretty bad for them to announce and release the phone at the same time.

Thanks much for the script, should be very helpful!

You have to go to twitter.com and set up text alerts first.

Can't unlock bootloader (no email from moto)

Mine took forever to show up. I gave up and it was there the next morning
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app

I am having the same frustration. Checked in Spam, Promotions and any other area that I could. I submitted mine last night. Although after I submitted for it, it never reverted to another page though and was just a blank webpage. I have no idea if that has anything to do with it at all.

Yeah I'm going on 4 days now. And I've used two different moto x's on three different computers with 3 different browsers. FML. I'm just returning the phones to Motorola. I'm tired of this crap.

Oh wow that stinks! Wish I could help. I did mine on a Saturday afternoon and literally got the email within minutes of requesting it.

Did you try to resubmit ? Maybe a different email?

Yeah, its odd if it isn't instant. Mine have all been there as fast as I could switch browser tabs. There have been times the website has gimped though, so maybe the email portion has been down when you requested the keys.

i guess you could always just call them and they can figure it out. stupid question but maybe you were signed into a google account that you didn't think you were when you clicked on the button to sign in with your google account... i don't remember it telling me what account i actually signed in with or if it told me what email it was sending it to. but i just did it less than a week ago and it was instant. maybe their servers are screwy or something.
i know someone already said it but there is a junk email box in gmail. didn't notice it before i was looking for an email that didn't come. but clearly you already probably checked that. just thought id mention it.
just thought of this, might not matter at all. but maybe the phone needs to be connected to motorola device id or something. wouldn't make sense that it would matter but i had my motorola device id connected to my google account before i tried to get the code. just another idea.

Would the "junk" folder your referring to be the same as the "spam" folder in Gmail? Sorry but is the Motorola Device id stuff in the Moto Care app? I don't have my X set up with the thing of clearing my phone from the Motorola site. Is that what you are referring to?

i have a spam and a junk folder. I don't know why both of them exist but they both do. By motorola device id i didn't mean being able to clear stuff from motorola. that probably needs to be set up in some motorola app that i don't use. i was referencing:
settings>Motorola Device Id (found under the personal heading on the verizon moto x).
when you click that it asks if you want to connect your phone to your google account. Like i said, i doubt it matters at all for getting the unlock code. it shouldn't anyway. but i figured id mention it just in case it does for some odd reason.
edit: just realized the junk folder i was referencing only gets email in it if you tag something as junk. so yes the spam folder was the correct folder i was meaning to say, not the junk folder.

I had that problem of not receiving the email from motorola when I was requesting the code via Motorola's website for my country (Brazil). When I tried using Motorola's USA website I got the email immediately. So try using the website for another country. You don't need a proxy, just change the location on the bottom of the site (http://www.motorola.com/sites/country-selector/index.html)

Ok I finally got it to work. I signed up for another Google account, and logged into the Moto site using the new Google account. I went through the unlock procedure and it worked first time no problem. I have no idea what's wrong on Moto / Google's end and why the emails got lost in space.
