[Bitpim-devel] help with 5450

[John Yu]

Hi



I recently got a 5450 and realized that even though bitpim supports
manipulation of the file system, it doesn't really allow you to do anything
else. I have wondering what I can do to help. I got a USB cable and
downloaded the dev version of bitpim from CVS. I'd like some more pointers
if possible.



Thanks



John

There is the start of some doc in the web directory.

I suspect your phone is very similar to the 4400/6000. Does
the filesystem view work?

Firstly, where are wallpapers and ringtones stored. There should
be a list of directories and some index files.

What is the spec of the phonebook. ie how many entries, how many
numbers per entry, emails etc.

When was the phone released?

Try getting the phonebook with the phone set to VX4400. Turn on the
protocol log. Save it to a file (you will need to copy it to the
clipboard), zip it up and email it to me (or the group if the zip
is less than 20kb).

What I am hoping is that we can just subclass the 4400 code and
put in a few of the differences.

The filesystem view works perfectly. The downloaded ringtones and wallpapers
are stored in the usr/ringtones and usr/wallpaper directory. The phone was
released by Telus here in Canada about 2 months ago, not sure when it was
released to the general public.

I think it's a 199 entries phonebook with 5 number and 1 email address per
entry.

The log attached is what happens when I try and get the phonebook from the
phone.

are stored in the usr/ringtones and usr/wallpaper directory.

There should also be some sort of index files.

We are going to need precise answers in order to support the phone.

Please use the CVS version of BitPim, not the 0.6 series.

It is 199 phonebook with 5 numbers and 1 email.

What would the index file look like?

I will send the log file from the cvs in a bit

What would the index file look like?

A mapping of numbers to filenames. (The numbers are usually used in
phonebook records rather than filenames).

The Brew based phones all have files with Index in the name doing
that mapping. The directory is different on every phone model.

I don't know what J2ME based LG phones do. What you can do is
a complete backup of the filesystem, download an image, and then
another backup and difference the two.

Also feel free to send me a complete backup of the filesystem
and then I can tell how different from the other LG phones yours
is.

I get an error message this time with the CVS using VX4400 as the selected
phone.

Please see the attached file

You need to use the standard version of wxPython not the unicode version.

I have this problem. I used the futuredial drivers and everything worked
expect I got the stupid timed out error. So I installed the LGE drivers and
now bitpim keeps on giving me errors about unable to open ports...

Any ideas?
