How can I sync my Chrome bookmarks with android?

I want all the folders supported in Dolphin, not just 500 bookmarks that aren't in folders.

I am also trying to sync my chrome contacts.
I stumbled upon this and am also having trouble finding a way to do that easily. Or at all as a matter of fact.

you may want to look at "google bookmarks assister2" its a free app that will sync you google bookmarks. Now it doesn't sync them with a browser app it will show the bookmarks in that application and you can launch them from there and it does give folders so it isn't to bad. I had some trouble getting it to sync correctly but after I did it worked pretty nice. Hope this helped good luck.

anyone found anything to do this? if i had all my bookmarks i could seriously use my tablet as a laptop/desktop replacement.
google bookmarks != chrome bookmarks (which are still synced to the cloud... there must be a way of syncing)

It would be really nice to sync the bookmarks from Chrome with the Android browser. Will look in the market..

Have you tried Xmarks? It's not free (you have to pay a $1/m subscription fee to get the Android app to let you login. see: http://buy.xmarks.com/premium.php), but it will automatically sync your bookmarks to Android, as well as between computers and browsers, and it stores them all online.

thats isnt the same thing as what we are talking about. We are talking about syncing 50+ bookmarks at times. with chrome to phone you would have to send each one then bookmark each one. That could take a while

PhoneMarks, great app

May have to give this a try myself. Thanks.

I can vouch for this. It synced every app that was in the specified folder rather fast. I definitely needed this.

ChromeMarks (Lite/free - if you're satisfied with 1 way sync => PC to phone)

thank you for the help

I just tried PhoneMarks. I setup it up to sync with the default android browser, then went into dolphin HD\bookmarks to SD to sync from android browser to google bookmarks, then synced google bookmarks to dolphin. long story short, my chrome bookmarks are finally on my phone. thanks for the tip.

I'd love to try chromemarks, but I fear giving that many permissions to an app, that should be a stock feature. :/
I'm sure in time I'll just do it.
questions:
does it sync folders as well?
and does it just show up in the browser bookmarks, or do you have to click the app icon or whatever?

Phonemarks moves the bookmarks to recently visited on Samsung phones. Melt.

If you do however, go into most visited and untap the yellow favs star then click it again it'll add it to favourites.

Can't believe google didn't had that damn feature on last 2.x updates..! PhoneMarks, what would be the danger to use it exactly..?

Questions from a new Xoom user

So here's a few answers I couldn't find from all the kickass people at XDA
- Sync Android Bookmarks (bookmarks in stock browser on my phone never showed up on my xoom...?)
- Have bookmarks show up in a different order (right now they show up according to when you added them... not alphabetical or most-used...)
- Which app you guys recommend for screenshots
- Which app you guys recommend for flashlight (using the dual-LED)
that's it for now really... everything else kicks ass. I'll edit the topic if there's more! You guys add yours if you need random questions answered...

If you have Google Chrome installed on your computer and you are logged on to your Google account, then the stock browser will synchronize your bookmarks with Chrome. I may be wrong here, but I think that you have to actually organize your bookmarks in Chrome unless you download a 3rd party app.

actually I don't want to sync with my Chrome, I want to sink with my Android devices only ... there is such an app as "Bookmarks sync" in the apps list, meaning it does store bookmarks... I'm just wondering why it doesn't sync between my N1 and Xoom

Because your N1 doesn't have bookmark sync

There's only one right now afaik and that's the Screenshot ER. It's free for XDA dev members. You need to be rooted though.

first thing I did is turn it on and use the 1-click method (well 14 clicks but they're all "OK" hehe)

so that's weird... no way to have bookmarks show up in alphabetical order?

"Flashlight" is very bright. The widget is nice and small.

You can use the SDK to take screenshots. Google ddms.bat.

Facebook sync in gingerbread.

Anyone get it to work on EB1.03? I know it works on CM7 but it's still waaaay too buggy for me right now to use as a daily.

Doesn't work on the leaked rom either. Doesn't even give the option in the facebook app to sync contacts.

If you read up about the launch of the Nexus S and Facebook, you will see this is because Google removed the sync ability of Facebook. Google is pissed because Facebook displays it's contacts in the address book without storing it locally. Previously, Google gave Facebook special API access to the contacts app, but they have removed it as of Gingerbread. Facebook will have to update their sync so it adds it to the shared contacts of the phone.

Google removed the ability in Gingerbread, use something like SyncMyPix if all you need is contact photos. If you need more than that I'm clueless.

Weren't we supposed to have Google chrome ...

I don't remember what forum I had seen it on but on ice they were supposed to replace our stock browser with a Google chrome browser. I wonder what happened.??

I believe the stock browser on ICS is the Chrome equivalent for Android. It should sync bookmarks and whatnot with your desktop Chrome browser.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

stock browser won't let me delete gmail emails

I tried searching for this problem on Google, but the only solution I came across was either by browsing gmail in classic or desktop mode on stock browser. I can't seem to delete a gmail email in mobile version. when I press the trash icon to delete an email, the icon turns blue to indicate that it has been pressed, but then it doesnt reload the page or delete anything. it just hangs..
since I am a frequent gmail user, I use dolphin browser instead, which works fine, but I still want to know what's causing the problem with stock browser. btw I don't use gmail app. my issue here is accessing gmail on stock browser.
thanks in advance!
edit: I am on stock btw.

am I the only one with this glitch? plz help

I dont have that issue but then again i use k9 email app. When i have used gmail via a browser on the phone i use chrome and dont have a issue

The app is far easier, I've found.
Nonetheless, I tested the stock browser and it does not actually delete any gmail items that I select when in mobile browsing mode. Works fine in Opera, though. I use Opera because it acts more in line with my expectations from a UI standpoint and rewraps text on zoom.
So, it's a stock browser bug, I'd think.

alright. thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe how Google's android stock browser has such glitch with gmail, which is also Google.
this is practically the main reason why I'm using dolphin instead. hope it gets fixed eventually.

I think google doesn't want us to deleted emails. Have you ever tried deleting your
email from the gmail website after not doing it fora few months? OMG! ITS crazy. First you can only do it 10 at a time and there may have hundreds or more, and each 10 take several clicks it can take hundreds of clicks! But if that's not bad enough if you want to completely delete them you have to do it all over again to delete them from the history and again from the trash.

Any reason you choose to use the browser over the app?
