Motorokr e6 and synchronization on Linux

Posted on September 15, 2008 By XceptN No Comments on Motorokr e6 and synchronization on Linux

Although this good looking, nice PDA phone run Linux OS, the sync SW (PhoneTools) does not seem to be available for linux.

I now have the idea of MultiSync (http://multisync.sourceforge.net/)
with evolution and syncml plugins .. I need to have a local USB network
setup and that should work …

The local USB works nice but well the motosync in the phone is only for MS Exchange Server 2003 (Eeek!!)

Now I managed to do the sync for Events and Contacts:

Phone:
Firmware: R533_G_11.12.08P (E6088_Hybrid_ahman_v1)
j2mesync midlet with registry.txt:

Jad-Path: /ezxlocal/.system/java/DownloadApps/MIDlet00509/Files/j2mesync.jad
Perm-Path: /ezxlocal/.system/java/DownloadApps/MIDlet00509/permfile.txt
Suite-Icon: /ezxlocal/.system/java/DownloadApps/MIDlet00509/Files/MIDlet-1.png
DRM-Mode: Allowed
Is-Trusted: 1
Jar-URL: j2mesync.jar
Description:
Domain: Trusted Third Party
Signer-Name:
Mot-JavaVM-Heapsize: 0
Delete-Notify:
Num-MIDlets: 1
MIDlet-1: j2mesync, /ezxlocal/.system/java/DownloadApps/MIDlet00509/Files/MIDlet
ProtectMode:1

Note
that with Domain: Manufacturer, all permissions seem to default to
Never ask, but write permissions are denied in the phone. So setting to
Ask once in the application (long tap of j2mesync on phone ->
Permissions) it works nice.

Desktop:
Enterprise Linux 5
evolution-2.8
libopensync-0.22
msynctool-0.22
multisync-gui-0.91.0
libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.22
j2mesync-plugin

Note that this is quite slow for large number of contacts but that is all I can get. Still I need to sort out the Tasks.

sync does not support Tasks/Todo – looking for other alternatives.
There was no reliable method found.. Currently I am using Motorola Phone Tools over VMWare running Windows (blah!!)

linux, mobile
