Recently I flash Hero firmware to my little HTC G1, and found the social network integration to be very cool.
But the problem is Hero firmware is so slow so I have to revert back Cyanogen firmware, but I really miss the fact that Sense UI can update my Google Contact with Facebook Contact photo.
A quick search around lead me to this website:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/10/synchronizing-google-and-facebook.html
This tool is very cool but the problem is almost all my Google Contact names are not match with Facebook Contact names. So I decided to pull my own base on Koushik tool (thank you very much ).
After a few days of coding, this is the first release of Google Contact Sync. As of right now it will allow you to manually sync Facebook Contact photo to Google Contact, and allow you to “link” 2 contacts so you can automatically update all Google Contacts later.
This software is provided free of charge. Make sure to link back here if you post GCS anywhere else .
NOTE: Some contact’s photos can’t be synced because owners modify their privacy settings. I can’t do anything about it so stop asking me .
If anyone concerns about privacy, you can build your own version of GCS from source code.
Facebook application: Google Contact Sync
All versions: Download
If you think this little tool worth something, you can consider buy me some beers for my Apple Developer Program license :
For error report please attach log.txt which can be found at application directory.
changes log:
v1.0.1:
- better error handling
- add file logging.
v1.1:
- fix bugs here and there
- fix an obvious bug that any note insert after <sn></sn> in Google Contact will be removed after sync.
- more streamlined user interface. Now GCS is dead simple to use .
v1.2:
- fix bugs
- add back Koushik’s Auto Match funtion
- threaded, so it will be much more responsive
- call it feature finished !
v1.3:
-fix bugs
-facebook photo preview
-now synced photos are automatically crop to the center. No more stretched contact photo !
-add link to GCS’s facebook application page
v1.3.1:
-fix bugs
v1.3.2:
-fix bug for people who has more than 200 “links” between Gmail and Facebook
Note: Beware of bugs

I look forward to trying this when I get to my pc

Doesn't work for me...when I enter my Gmail info and hit enter, I get an unhandled exception error

Please read the readme included. You enter your gmail info and CLICK on login button. Sorry but I don't have much time fine tuning those stuff

Probably a dumb question... but does this just sync our Gmail contacts with our Facebook contacts, which then eventually sync to our phones? Does it just have to be run occasionally to keep the pics up to date?
Thanks for this software man...

I wanna try it... but... "The server at heartofangel.com is taking too long to respond".

@uansari1:
Yes you need to fire up the tool now and then and click Sync All to get all latest Facebook photos. Maybe I will try to make an Android version of this tool sometime next month as it will be much more useful

Just a head up notice that the site is back online now

There used to be an free app in the marketplace called facebook sync that does the same thing, here is the apk.
or a directlink to the file here:
http://fbsync.plan99.net/FacebookSync-2.2.apk
and a cached copy of the site (the original site seems to be experiencing difficulties):
http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cach...fbsync&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari
I believe the code is here (not certain though):
http://github.com/palfrey/fbsync/tree/master
Mods feel free to modify my post if it violates some kind of copyright infringement laws.

I know this one, too but faced the same problem when trying it: almost all of my contacts doesn't match Facebook Contact names. That's why I wrote this one instead.
btw, anyone knows why FBSync faces trademark infringement?

Apologies if I've missed it, but :
Can you select which contacts to sync pictures, and which to skip, or does it just sync all of them?
Some people obviously use a FB profile pic of something other than themselves, a baby, pet or amusing image of a potato that looks like male genitalia, for example.

I think I read somewhere Facebook ban the use of FB, and such from third party app names.

Another version coming up with better error handling and logging.
Please check first post for updated version and changes log

Thanks mate
Does anyone know where these images get stored? On the SD card or on the phone itself? Possible memory hog?

Sorry for the absent guys, I was really busy with my real life and work recently. I'm back and trying to iron out all the obvious bugs in current version.
Possible changes:
- Much more stable release
- User interface tuning a little bit.
- New feature to show selected contact's picture so you don't have to open browser to see for yourself
- Fix an obvious bug that any note insert after <sn></sn> in Google Contact will be removed after sync.
Near future features:
- Syncing other information fields like birthday and such.
@Dr J : You can choose which pair of contacts to sync, so yes
@deepside 7: it's stored on the phone itself. I don't think it will be a memory hog as I doubt that Google developer cache all the contact picture in memory rather than load it on demand

Seems awesome, thanks for this! Will try it out later tonight .

Code:
Begin query Google contact list..
Number of Google contacts: 173

Full version
Lite(free) version

This seems to be pretty, pretty cool.
Nonetheless, 4,99 ?

I've purchased this app and I really like it. It does exactly what it says. I'm pretty much gone paperless as far as receipts go. Being able to do multiple pages and crop images as a huge plus for me.
I would buy again, but I would recommend the following:
- be able to create folders and organize your scans.
- be able to sync with skydrive. I don't think there is an official API for this but there may be some possibilities here: http://skydriveapiclient.codeplex.com/

I also purchased it on its early days. Today it has improved a lot. The image optimization feature added recently just makes it perfect

Updated to 2.5 and incorporated a lite/free version.
Limitations:
- Cannot send via email directly from the app
- Cannot convert to PDF
- Images saved to media hub have a small watermark at the bottom
- Has Ads
Details at http://jdbp.mobi/handyscan

nice app, purchased on day-1. Glad to see it's being updated/improved. One of the "must have" apps for any device.

Great we have a free version now!

just bought it because of the nice ad graphic you have in your first post

Thanks so much! can't wait to try it.

it can come in handy...

Version 3.0

Lite(free) version

Thanks! It's an excellent app which has loads of applications. I use it daily.

Great app you need to update the app page
You misspelled cloud and put coud....

Hey, pckshd, thanks, nice app!
BTW, how about adding some OCR? I know (I'm developer) it's not easy (especially on device, and from the scratch) but... You may use some free/cheap online (let say fancy cloud ) services for that. What do you think? Also, good business card reading option will be helpful (card readers, currently available on marketplace, just awful)
P.S. Try this: http://snipt.org/lOgh/

Sounds good. Let it have some voting so we can prioritize depending on demand: http://reach.jdbpocketware.com/forum/8878-handyscan/

I didn't realize this app was XDA discussed. I bought it when it first came out and have been grateful for it. Great work!

I liked the free version very much,
will probably purchase the paid one!

App to Connect with Desktop computer?

Does anybody know of a good app that basically lets you control your phone from your desktop computer.
For example if i am sitting at work with my phone plugged into the usb is there a program that can make it easy to send texts or access my phones files.

I have used a program called webkey, in the market, and thee are a few others if you look in the similar apps

thanks webkey looks like it can do what i want, however i wasnt able to get it to connect.
I'll mess around with it some more and see if can get it to work. None of the similar apps appeared to look like they had the same functionality though.
Any other recommendations?

I've just looked that last night, and after spending some time to compare the number and the quality of reviews of this kind of apps, the best one seems to be Remote Web Desk (Free)

I've been using AndroidScreencast for some time now. It requires ADB and the refresh is slow, but it does work reasonably well.
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
You may have to start ADB manually in order to get it to work. Mine did not require it for several weeks, but now I have to....not really sure what changed.

Did you try looking in the Themes & Apps subforum before posting this?

the webkey app requires an account with them, took me a little while to realize that myself

Lazy Droid works pretty well. I have used it over WiFi.

I've successfully controlled my phone with droid explorer. Though it may be a bit clunky for what you want.

[Android 2.2+][Windows Client] FilePush - "push" files from your PC to your device

FilePush lets you transfer files to your Android device with only two clicks. With the Windows Client you can create context menu entries that appear when you right-click a file inside Windows Explorer. With a click on the "Push file to device" entry the file will appear a few seconds later as a download on your device. It works much like Chrome2Phone just for files.
There is a paid version that costs $1.2 and a free trial that has all the features but lasts only for 14 days.
Paid $1.2
Free Trial
Windows Client (direct download)
Officially supported is Windows Vista, 7 and 8
WLAN transfer
It's faster but can obviously only be used if your PC is connected to the same Wireless Network as your Android device. A internet connection is still required on both the device and the PC as the transfer gets initiated by a Google Push message.
Google Drive Transfer
The file gets uploaded onto your Google Drive first and will then be downloaded onto the device. It's slower but should work anywhere with an internet connection.
Something that's probably a concern for a lot of people: Your Google password isn't stored anywhere, locally or on a server. It uses OAuth and you only have to login with your Google Account the first time you launch the Windows application.

There are a few differences. Once you have FilePush set up you don't have to do anything else than just click files and they are on your phone. It doesn't always have to run in the background because it uses push messages to initiate the file transfer. With Wifi Transfer Pro for example you have to launch the app on the phone, enable the small http server and type the IP (that could be different every time) inside the browser. This doesn't seem like a lot of work but if you just want to send one or two files at a random time of the day with FilePush you can just click it and don't have to worry about it anymore.

Well said I suppose you COULD configure wifi file transfer pro to use the same IP everytime if you know how to set it in the router but all other points are valid points. I might use this

very smart program and easy to use interface... much easier than the other competitors eg zumocast.
suggestions for improvement (which will motivate me to buy): allow transfer from phone to computer too; allow transfer of folders; allow it to work via 3g.

1. Phone to Computer is an often suggested feature but technically hard to accomplish to make it user friendly, but I'm working on it
2. Transfer of folders is also something that I want to do but has some downsides as I would have to zip all the files and unzip them on the phone again
3. It already works over 3G if you use Google Drive to transfer the files
Btw. tonight I released a update for both the Android app and the windows client:
Android version 1.1.3:
» Added option to redownload a file
» Added Jelly Bean Notifications with Buttons
» Migrated to the new Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) Service
Windows version 1.0.0.5:
» Changes for the new Google Cloud Messaging Service
» Fixed a crash that could occur when using Google Drive

Cool

hey =)
i bought the full version to support this great idea.. but the windows client can't find my smartphone device. there aren't entries in the context menu either..
the app on the phone is registered. logged in with the win-client too.
i already tried to install it as admin. but didn't help.
any suggestions? =)

First off, thanks for getting the full version!
Did you login with the same Google account on the windows client as you registered your device with?
Did you press "Refresh" inside the preference window of the windows client? You can bring that screen up by right clicking the FilePush Icon within the taskbar and then clicking "Preferences".
Thanks!

My Library App

Hi,
As an owner of NGT I've decided to start programming in java and android API. Let me introduce my first project.
As I rooted my device I was missing Library launcher, ralaunch was fine but I was looking for shelves supporting launcher, epub launcher was nice but limited. So, I decided to fill the gap. I was inspired by nook library, which I think was very well designed.
For now it's in alpha stage and for easier developing it's as application, in future I'll make it as a launcher.
So, here are the screen-shots of actual developing state:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm using Calibre and its meta attributes:
<meta content="shelf name" name="calibre:series"/>
<meta content="1" name="calibre:series_index"/>
calibre:series_index is treated as integer, not as a float so if you have it as float, let me know.
Please let me know what you think about it. Let me know which features or ideas you wished to have in this app.
If anybody could contribute pictograms icons which will fit better, let me know.
---- uploaded first pre-alpha version of app ---
v0.1 - limitations:
scanning of ebooks is limited only to whole /sdcard/, no internal memory is scanned,
file browser don't remember locations, always start from root,
file browser don't have a bookmarks yet,
epub file's attribute "calibre:series" is treated as integer value, so 1.5 is 2, 1.4 is 1. Anybody uses fractions on this attribute?
sorting is done on re-run of app or on refreshing library, to be fixed,
for now, only epub filetype is handled,
searching doesn't work,
no preferences yet
v0.2
fixed adding of shelves
fixed scanning of whole /sdcard/
v0.3
added working bookmarks
added root access in manifest (in future will be used in "my file" browser to get access to blocked paths)
some general fixes
Let me know what you think about it.
Cheers

Yes yes yes! THIS IS GOOD!

I've uploaded first version of my app. Hope that'll work for you.

Nice app, thanx! :thumbup:

Looks great - thanks! For future versions, I'd love to be able to do a dual-sort starting with genre tag so you could show shelves by tag then by series (so you could just see your SciFi series for example) or tag then by author etc. Thanks for the good work.

Hi,
New version uploaded, more info in first post.
Due to some manifest changes in code which fail to run I must upload again to have it working
Cheers.

I'm extremely impressed, especially considering that you said you have just started programming. Very good start sir! :thumbup::beer:

Thanks, I've learned C/++ for years, so learning Java was quite easy. The biggest problem was Android API, which is complex, especially API 7 which lacks many features.

Good work! I like the way this library app opens AlReader by default and allows the standard Nook library to open the stock reader by default. I have one feature request. As many of the third party readers will open .mobi files as well as .epub, can this library be modified to use both? My practice is to have my non-DRM books in .mobi format to open with AlReader so that they do not even show up in the stock library app which I use for B&N content only. I find this a effective way to separate the two different forms of content.

Hi, I plan to add mobi/pdf/epub only the question is how to handle this, altogether or separate in tabs.
Beside I'll add scan paths. So, for mobi we could set one dir and exclude it from scanning.

Actually, for my purposes, there is no need to separate .epub and .mobi. Your app will not be able to read B/N DRMed epubs anyway. For me, if it just picked up .mobi files when it does a library scan and displayed then alongside DRM free epubs, that would be fine.
Again, thanks for the great work on this.

I really like the app, but it can't seem to get it to work properly. I only get three or four shelves to start and I can set the view to all to see all my ebook files. This view shows all of the books but without an authors name, shows null null. Hitting the refresh button the app rescans the device and shows all the authors on the books. Switching the view to shelves does not carry over, hitting the refresh button does not change the shelves shown. Going throughout the option menu to delete data and then rescan does nothing as well. Any ideas? Can post the debug if needed
Also for future dev adding the file types cbr/Cbz for comic books would be awesome. Showing them inline with other shelves or on a separate tab would be cool

Hi
I was oo for a while. Could you PM me debug, I'll look for it. Strenge, as ebook should be readed all the time the same way.

sorry about the two seperate pms but the first is what it normally looks like and the second is when i rescan files in the all files view.

Feature request. Sync with google play books or any other service that have upload and page sync. I want to be able to upload books on my phone and sync over to nook.

Hi, I'll look how that could be achieved. I had a plan to make my own build of reader with sources and add reading with last page shown in library app.

This app is exactly what I have been looking for. However, I installed it on my NST and have similar issues as above. Also when I try to assign books to a shelf it will add some but not all that I have selected and will add some random books as well.
I hope the developer keeps working on this app.
