[Bitpim-devel] Scheduler/Phonebook support patch for TM520/VX10

[Chris Poon]

Got some fields sorted out in the phonebook and the scheduler -
I would still caution any writing at this moment although from the
look of things it should work without much trouble. Haven't heavily
tested the code for saving the phonebook onto the phone, and saving
the scheduler would pretty much requires a restart as the phone seems
to memorize the indices. Don't know how many people are still using
the TM520/VX10 but since I'm still using mine I thought this might
be useful. I'm seriously thinking about writing support for 4600/5450
and the AudioVox 8900 seeing they are quite similar, if only I can
squeeze out some time and motivation, plus getting a data cable for
my mom's 4600.

I have committed your patch. Are you commiting to support the
TM520/VX10? (The two existing contributors have gone on to
other things).

I want to move the LG writing code up into com_lg. The reading code
really should be moved there as well (the getphonebook method
anyway). Actually see if you can get the getphonebook method in
tm520 to be identical to the vx4400 one.

For the writing code I think it should also be identical. However
you may require sending a p_lg.pbstartsyncrequest first.

The plan is for the various sync pieces of code to indicate that they
recommend or require a phone reboot.

It will. I would rather the TM520/VX10 are well supported, or the
code is removed. Having something that half almost works isn't
really worthwhile for anyone.

I would guess they would be almost identical. The code for the
VX6000 should be copied and adjusted.

Do you have details on the AudioVox sync protocol? I doubt it
is the same as the LG one.
