SOLVED: How to Sync HTC Touch Pro with Ubuntu Linux Hardy Heron 8.04 (Synce) - Page 2

This should work with Fedora 11 right?

If you can find the correct software/compile it from source, it should work fine. Linux is Linux, no matter how you dress it up.

And thanks to the OP, been looking for a way to sync at work (all Linux machines).

Yessir, you can have Ubuntu and still unlock and flash your HTC Touch Pro w/ a new custom rom using an SD card. No need for activesync.

Quick question, does this also make you able to use the HTC Touch pro for tethering?
I ask because I have some strange problems tethering my phone with debian testing (see: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.p...261093#p261093 )
TIA

can you flash with this? I know you can always just mount your storage card and flash that way, but if you can flash via usb with synce, I am totally going back to gentoo. ROM development is the only thing keeping me on windows

i had synce for a while, but i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to dinking around in linux, and find that i'll sometimes accidentally bust things. i keep a windows 7 partition up for gaming as well, so i just put outlook onto it, in order to keep everything synced. i haven't had a 'contact doubling' since windows 7, altho i got double, sometimes tripling, in xp. may have to do with the way the new windows mobile device center works, instead of active sync

Awesome info! big props!

I noticed you had opensync-plugin-evolution as one of the packages, for whatever reason, I cannot use evolution with my mail client, would there be any deviation from what you have written for me to be able to use Thunderbird instead? eg. what would the package name look like? (I looked for opensync-plugin-thunderbird with no success...)

Thank you for your help and info!
