Hello, the latest Beta version of super sync is now available for download (the previous version was lost during the forums backup/restore problems)
Super sync now does...
Sync any and all folders on your PPC to a basefolder on your desktop pc
Synchronise time to the PPC or sync Desktop pc clock to PPC clock
Fix contact names on every connection.
Multiple archives (definable) kept of any changed/deleted files.
Syncing to more then one Desktop PC working.
Some small bugs were fixed, making sync more reliable.
-----------------------
I intend to add more tools at a lated date, current suggestions and listings are as follows
Reliably search for duplicates in contacts
Sync/backup SMS messages on mobile edition devices
Pocket media folders.
Sync memory cards connected via a memory card reader
Sync more than 1 mailbox to more than 1 computer
sync all favourites instead of just 'mobile favourites'
------------------------
Some of the above are suggestions of users from these forums - thanks for the suggestions guys - I'll try and incorporate them soon!
------------------------
NOTE: this software in is it's beta stage only, I have tried to make sure there are no bugs but a couple may still have escaped my notice. It is possible but unlikely that your data may be damaged if a bug occurrs, please back up your unit and all data before trying!!
icarusbop, suprisingly there still is no synch solution for PocketPC for Linux. I think there is a great void there. Can your solution be ported to run on Linux? Just an idea.

Sorry - I'm completely clueless about Linux and the code I have done uses the AS connection to connect to the device anyway. A Port to Linux from what I have already would be impossible.
yeah mate, keep developing, I can't wait until you release the media folders, I know for a fact that AS would not release that feature in the future, (since they want you to use WMP10), also, Is unpractical to upload a bunch of songs via slow USB1, so for that feature alone, I'm willing to spend my money. Also the Memory card upload is better and faster, cause most Memory card readers are USB2, and are faster, (specially for us 1GB sd card users.
Keep up the great work!
Just to keep everyone updated, I am still working on Super sync. I have nearly finished the Memory card reader sync section and am hoping to add Pocket Media folders next. I have also eliminated some more bugs and made sync more reliable.
The bad news is my XDA has died and gone off for repair, so it will be a couple of weeks before I can make any more progress; sorry!!
I hope to post a new version of the software soon.
I've downloaded the software to my desktop but when I try to open it I am asked what I want to open it with. Is there an installation process?
The download file is compressed with WinRAR, you need winrar on your computer to de-compress it...
You can get if from here

101 :twisted:
i say keep developing it, with all my respect to MS but they are a lame company that designs based to what they need not what people needs, i also would say if you can develop the sync where the computer takes internet connection from the pda & not ONLY vice versa
I just upgrade with the last AKU3.50 with HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and now i cannont synch but i can install aps...
By the way i use DOC tools to upgrade the storage to 30 Mb
If anyone have an idea, let me know
Thx
Whats your activesync version?
I'm on 4.5 beta
an di got the error => Support code 80070057
I try :
- changing my ROM => nothing
- changing my Radio => nothing
So actually i'm under AKU 3.50a.32 WWE with Radio 1.19 and 30 Mb of storage (using DOC tool).
Could I have done something wih the Disc On Chip ?
NB : I use Office 2007, it work before with my old 2003 ROM.
After, I upgrade so i force with HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and the progs wont install temselves...
So i change the ROM again, the Radio...progs install works but the synch can't be achieved
Don't hesitate to curse me for 3 generations
I think the problem isnt on your device buth rather on you computer..
Why dont you try to make another user on your computer then try to sync it there..
Lets see what will happen
back in 5 minutes with the answer...
It isn't my PC, it's my device...
So is there a hard hard reset ? or do i try to be back to an old 2003SE or anyone could me what I do wrong with my Hima .
do you have an application that actually closes programs? if yes, try to set activesync.exe as an exception.
I got a task manager but i dont see what you want to do
Trying to tell my firewall or toher that active sync is good for me ?
=> It's the case because it was working fine before
Trying to close the prog on my device ?
=> Haven't a activsync.exe just en repllog.exe with the activ sync icone.
Well well well, i'm so fu**** confused
Back to old 2003SE and it works... Geez !
tried looking up the error code?

I have the very same problem, since i've cook a new rom aku 3.2 w/ 24Mb of pagepool. I've noticed that i can't delete or modify any file in the root folder, but using resco explorer. So i guess that my root folder for a reason i don't know, is write protected. My hima didn't sync with outlook, using any versior of ActiveSync at home and work (before the new rom, it works pretty fine), but it gets connected so i can use internet... So any of you guys can tell me how to solve my problem?
It would be very appreciated
I have the same problem,so i did backup my Data directly on the Himalaya Device und copied it over the WM5 Storage tool,its a small run in a Circle but
its functional ,You can Install Apps too,because you can choose now (thanks to WM2k5)where the
Apps are going to copied..
I do the same thing, but i really need to sync with mi outlook at home and work, so that back up don't solve the problem.
The problem is 100% in your PC. I discovered this when I notice that my laptop sync ok but want sync with my desktop. I done everything under the sun to make sure my disktop mirro image of the lapttop but nothing works.
Then at last I discovered that it works when I UNchecked the settings on the device (USB to PC) to disable the advance network functionality.
I suggest you delet active sync first and re-install it then reboot..
Good luck.
forget to mention both laptop and desktop XP, and device is XDA2 with AKU3.5
I think better use the fix version 4.2 not beta 4.5. It could be there is some bugs in the software.
Is this just an email sync issue, rather than just comms?
Do you use Exchange server?
Try this:
On the Exchange server, launch Internet Services Manager. Right click on the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory and choose Properties. Select the Directory Security tab. Click the Edit button in the Secure Communications section and select the option to “Ignore client certificates.”
I'm looking for a synchronization solution that will allow me to synchronize files between my Windows 7 Pro desktop, Windows 7 Pro Netbook and my WinMo 6.5 HD2. The limitations of the Windows Mobile Device Center in only being able to synchronise to the phone main memory is a major shortcoming IMHO and I really need to be able to utilize the extra storage capacity of an SD card. I will need to be able to synchronise different files between say my desktop and netbook than I would between my desktop and HD2, so any software I use will need to support profiles.
I've had a quick Google this morning for third-party apps to do this and found Syncables 360 which gets good reviews and seems to cover everything that I need.
Anyone here used it or have experience of it, good, bad or otherwise?
Well to answer my own thread, I took the plunge and bought this software. I can now understand why they no longer offer a trial version...
Initially I had problems installing this software on my Windows 7 desktop PC with the installer saying I didn't have the Adobe Flash player installed. I did have the latest Player version and this was confirmed to be working via Adobe's online diagnostics. I got around this problem by downloading & installing the latest Beta of the Flash Player. Now any software that is reliant upon third-party plugins such as Adobe Player worry me, but I had already paid for the software licence and the specifications of the software looked very promising.
So on to actually running up the software...
Next worry - it's a Java app. and from experience I know that any Java app that has to make calls to hardware as this software will need to do, is likely to to have issues with access permissions and operating system-level security software. That said, the software ran up fine and apart from a couple of rendering issues with the screen dialogues text (I've set my system to a slightly lager font than default) all seemed to be good to go. So, now to set-up my first sync profile...
Well you can't set up a profile unless you register an online account with the developer. Why? If I setup a profile to synchronise my data then I'd like that profile to be retained on my computer not on some third party's server. Why do they need to retain control over what I choose to synchronise? Anyway, an account was setup and a basic sync profile was established between my computer and a USB2 external hard disk. So I start the profile with just a few meg of basic file types to transfer (xls, doc & jpg), it appears to start OK but then it slows but the computer hard disk light is going full blast and the whole computer grinds to a near halt (Quad Core CPU with 4GB RAM). I manage to get Windows task manager up after much wait and sure enough the CPU is running at 100%. I manage to force a shut-down via task manager and the system shuts down.
OK, let's restart check the event logs and see what might have gone wrong. No chance! My once reliable system now Blue Screens with "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". Nothing I could do could get it past this point and Windows 7 repair declares there are problems with the file system which after 10 minutes or so appear to have been fixed by chqdsk. Nothing would make the computer boot again, last know good, safe mode, Windows repair... nothing. The system would blue screen no matter what.
Eventually the only option left was to do a full system restore to before Syncables was installed. After a further chkdsk the system reboots and all is again well. I run hard disk and hardware diagnostics to make sure the system is healthy and not suffering from a failing hard disk, system bus error or faulty RAM modules - all test 100%
In fairness to Syncables they did offer to do remote support, but I declined and said I needed a robust system and had no confidence in the Syncables after it all but trashed my whole system. Thankfully they did agree to a full refund.
It's probably unfair to judge this software based upon my experience alone, but it does make you wonder why they no longer offer a trial version for download.
On paper this software looks to be an excellent all-round synchronisation solution, but sadly an implementation based upon Java & Adobe Flash Player is unlikely to ever be as robust as a system-level coded solution.
Hi everyone - long time lurker, first time poster here. Anyway, I've been wracking my brain over this for some time and haven't been able to find an answer at all, so I apologize if my search skills aren't up to par.
Anyway, I've got a samsung captivate and I've successfully rooted and installed a few Froyo ROMs without issue (Cognition, Axura, etc). The problem Im encountering is that whenever I try to connect to my PC (4 different PC's actually - all some variant of windows 7 32 or 64 bit) in MTP mode, the Captivate shows up in the device manager as SAMSUNG_ANDROID with an exclamation point saying that the device could not be started.
My ultimate goal here is to sync the items with Windows Media center, because I create and update a lot of playlists and such on my HTPC, of which I'd like to keep up to date on my phone.
When I use the stock ROM, it works flawlessly - no issues at all
I've tried the following:
1. Search for files with extensions over 16 digits - nada
2. Tried using Kies, no luck at all there.
3. Various driver updates from various sources
4. Removing / unmounting my external SD card
Copying the files over manually works, but that doesn't give me playlists
Doubletwist really isnt an option, because it will only sync with the internal card, not the 32 gb external.
If anyone has ever gotten this to work, I'd be forever grateful.

You have a few different issues listed:
1. Playlist sync support doesn't work with the native player. Period. It stores all playlists in a database - Even Kies doesn't sync playlists.
2. Internal vs. External storage sync is dependent on software - some apps have no idea that there are 2 storage locations and pick the first.
As for getting MPT to work - I have had driver issues, and the solution was to uninstall everything - drivers and Kies, reboot and only install one driver. Since Froyo is not official - you have a 50/50 chance - either Captivate, or generic Samsung for all phones. I would try the captivate driver.
One other thing to look at - media monkey - it will sync to any SD card - you can pick the one - so you don't need MPT mode.
Yeah, I use the doubletwist App as my player - that reads WMP's playlists perfectly. As for the syncing, it's pretty much gotta be windows media center or nothing. I just love plugging it in and letting it auto-sync. Like I said, the stock firmware works perfectly for this (But sucks otherwise - hence why I root & update).
OK, I misunderstood - I was thinking Doublestwist desktop. I can't remember if MediaMonkey supports autosync - I think it does, but like I said it can do MTP or direct to SD - so very flexible. I bet it uses the same playlists (m3u i think).
Actually, I just tried your advice and uninstalled samsungs drivers completely and rebooted. It worked flawlessly, Im syncing now. Who'da thunk samsung's drivers would turn out to be the issue? Thanks so much dude, you rock.
Glad to help... I ran into wierd issues with Kies, Kies mini, and 3 sets of drivers installed... that fixed it for me, so it couldnt hurt you.
Hi,
as a complete noob with smartphones in general and WP specifically. Nevertheless I somehow managed to install HSPL and then the HD2O Dynamics Custom ROM on my HTC Radar.
I configurated my device after installation and it works smoothly. However, all I did so far is connecting my Windows Live Account. It receives E-Mails when I am on the way and via Wifi connection when at home. This is great...
Now I want to do the next necessary steps in "usability". I guess that would be
connect device via USB to PC (Windows 7) and transfer files like Contacts (People), Pictures, Clips in either direction
use the device as storage (like an USB-stick)
I am not familiar with establishing connection or how "syncing" works with WP and W7. What I read is that "ZUNE" is the main syncing tool for that. The problem is, that I think in the last couple of weeks, Microsoft may have abandoned the idea of using Zune for this. Can someone confirm this? If yes, what is it now?
If I connect the Device via USB this is what Windows 7 shows me in the "Devices and Printers" Screen (see attch).
A click on the symbol just opens driver information but not a folder like a removable medium like an USB-Stick in Windows.
Also, I read since I use a Custom ROM, I shouldn't update via Zune (or its successor). Is this true? Would establishing connection with an official syncing tool "kill" my Custom ROM? (In other words: if I connect my Custom ROM device to the official sync tool, would it automatically start an update or only if I explicitly start the update process?)
I'd really appreciate any hints and tips.
Thx in advance!
Edit: after installing WMDC 6.1 and Zune, I now have a solid connection. Still, there's the question how far I can go there without automatically updating to Stock ROM (and therefor damaging my Custom ROM) via offical MS channels.
