[Bitpim-devel] samsng a530

[Michael Gofman]

Hi all. New Member.

I am using a Samsung a530 and apparently it works with BitPim with the appropriate cable. There are a few glitches of course.

We(a530 users) can see and modify the file system on the phone using BitPim but can not use the other tabs meaning planner and directory features are unusable. As far as I can see from the error message it is only a matter of pointing to the right files. because obviously the com file is working correctly.

The following is the error message that I get.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gui.pyo", line 180, in run
File "gui.pyo", line 121, in __call__
File "gui.pyo", line 759, in getdata
File "com_lgvx4400.pyo", line 114, in getphonebook
File "com_lgvx4400.pyo", line 504, in getfilecontents
File "com_lgvx4400.pyo", line 651, in sendbrewcommand
BrewNoSuchFileException: No such file


I am a Java/Swing developer by day with a good knowledge of Graphics apps and would like to join you in development. I got the python Dev stuff. and want the source for BitPim to customize it to fully function with my phone. If there is some sort of a special config file that I can modify that would be even better.

I can be A LOT of help with graphics and icons in the beginning. We'll see how my python will progress.

You'll need to figure out the "right files". As far as I can tell,
Qualcomm has a reference platform that they improve over time. Each
vendor then takes that code from some point and does their own
"value add".

I am more than happy to add support for other phones, but someone who
owns each phone is going to have to do the testing, and preferably some
tweaks to the coding.

You should get the code from CVS. Instructions are at
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=75211 (follow the ones for
anonymous access).

If you are using Windows, then I would recommend one of the graphical
CVS tools such as wincvs or tortoisecvs.

Of course real men like myself use the command line :-)

I would be delighted to add support for other phones to Bitpim (that is
one reason why the project name doesn't have LG or 4400 in it :-)
