Are you tired of the same old boring activesync or wmdc for your Windows mobile device? All of us who have used Microsoft’s so-called sync utility know that it’s nothing compared to their Zune software which they have created. Anyway, you’re now in luck. I have finally gotten to the edge of my patience trying to sync up my phone with their software and ive started making my own replacement for it. Currently, Hydros Sync Center supports being used as a normal music player as well as a device sync utility. Due to it being only a beta, you will not be able to transfer files with the phone, but already it is much more user friendly than the old Activesync. All you need to do to install is unzip the package and run the setup.exe installer.
UPDATE: Tutorial has been posted at hydrosmobile.com on adding widgets

this is a mobile addition like mobileme in which you will be able to track your phone if it gets lost. This is not available yet and it wont be until the full version of Hydros comes out. Both Hydros and Hydros Mobile are free and open source software

This is a sync software and part of the definition of a sync software is the idea of being able to access your files. I hope there is no misunderstanding but this needs access to your box net account because it needs to sync up files. If you like windows mobile device center, then go ahead and use it but I want to be clear on what my software does.
so anybody got any other ideas they want me to implement into this app for replacing activesync?
beta 3 is posted and it has cab install feature + pictures library + some bug fixes so it doesnt freeze too much + AUTO SYNC!!!
-Check it out in first post
i know this might be a tall order, but could you make your sync center like the one provided by HTC for Android phones (HTC Sync)
that eye candy is just irresistible!
wow thats tall. could you please post a pic of it? i could try to make a theme. Problem is that sync utility doesnt actually "play" music.
Is it possible to upload files straight from phone to site? If so explain how please, tried advanced options for ' quick reply', but couldn't get past choose file screen. I have two leaked Galaxy S 2 lwp that are pretty cool. Windmills and beach that change with time of day and weather.

Try using dropbox that's how I do it at least. It will let you upload pretty much whatever. You can get it in the market free!

I agree, Dropbox is great. I've been thinking of upgrading to a paid account when I get a little more money saved (I just went on an app buying/dev donation spree, so definitely over my online quota right now). I just found out the hard way that there's a 10 gig/day bandwidth limit for public links, but it's definitely a great site.
If you're talking about on xda, I haven't found a way to do it yet. Even with the user agent set to desktop, it won't work. I think this is because it doesn't integrate Android file explorers. You can always use Dropbox or another hosting site and link others to the file. With Dropbox, I just use the mobile app. Once you've uploaded whatever you want to share to your "Public" folder, long press the item, choose share, and then "copy a link". This will result in a direct download, which I prefer over other sites.

EDIT: First link was wrong, so I fixed it. I believe you have to install Dropbox as well to get the extra space.
Thanks for your help...uploaded both live wp in the Themes and Apps section.
Just flashed my first rom and noticed Dropbox in app drawer,read up on it and it sounds really cool app especially for pics. would like to here a little more about it from the ones who have or use it.
Ummm, what do you want to hear? It's a cloud syncing app, it does what it says. I personally like Box.net over Dropbox, but to each his own.

Why is that? Box.net's lack of desktop client and filesize limitation I find extremely annoying.
i live by dropbox
I use both just for the hell of it. And I jumped on box during the 50gb deal

Dropbox is really only limited to what you can think to do with it. One of the more novel uses I came up with for it is to "sync" my game saves from my EVO to my Nook so I don't have to replay levels of Castlevania on Gameboid.
Try it out and make your own decisions.

I do the same thing with a couple of save states. Also, over box.net, I believe the limit how long your links are active and the file size after X amount of time. I looked into it, and those 'catches' made me not use it.
Also, i some how have 8.5gb of free space...don't know how that happened..lol.

True, I forgot about that. I use box more often because I have 50gb of space with them. Dropbox is better for larger files, but I only have 2.5gb with them, so it's basically only good for one or two large files. The lack of desktop syncing with Box doesnt bother me, as I just use the browser to upload. Both have apps for phones/tablets, which both seem to work very well.

That is such a great idea!!! I never thought about doing that, I always had to manually move my emerald save file. I personally keep all of my school work in dropbox so i can work on it on my phone, or print it out at school if I forget to print it at home.
Three words explain dropbox: Its the Shizz
Dropbox is pretty cool. Its my preferred tool to move stuff from 1 PC to another without using USB's, sharing stuff with friends, and moving from phone to PC
I use Sky drive a lot more than dropbox since I have Windows 8 the intergration is good. Today they are offering a free upgrade to 25GB of Cloud storage. Just login to Skydrive select Claim your 25 GB and click on Free Upgrade. Done
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/skydrive/loyalty
Don't all wp7 owners get 25 Gb anyway. Thought that was normal or am I missing something?
Sent from my Radar 4G using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Well yeah the title is a little bit misleading.
SkyDrive used to offer 25GB for every user for free, but today they decreased that to only 7GB because over 99% use less than 7GB (and that is still more than Dropbox offers).
However, if you have been a user in the past and already use more than 7GB you will get to keep your free 25GB. If you do not use more than 7GB of the service you have to sign in and go to manage storage, from there you can get a free upgrade to 25GB for the time being.
Also as a side note if you made a account after April 1st you will not get the free upgrade. For New WP users they had to April 22, if you already had more than 7gb on SkyDrive you will be automatically keep the old 25GB storage amount. Now I would advise people to go hit up your old hotmail accounts and click that free upgrade.
Thanks
The title is a bit misleading and maybe think about changing it , but you are correct and thanks for the information. just took advantage of the free upgrade

Already dropping my Dropbox! (did you catch that?? hahhahaha)
Anyway, anyone noticed any kind of " show deleted files", or "previous versions"? Dropbox features that, and would be wierd if SkyDrive didnt.

IIRC there is Revision tracking for Office documents. You can see who edited what and revert changes.
I just upgraded my account to 25GB and installed the SkyDrive App on Windows. Now I have automatic synchronization of my documents between SkyDrive, my PC and Lumia 800. Epic

thanks for the info. I use the Skydrive more regular now than i thought.
I have DropBox also... but 2GB doesn't cut it.
yesss... better than my 8GB DropBox
And I also like prices for paid service!!!
p.s. the 7 to 25 GB update is only for accounts that already uses skydrive (or account that used it once)

Thought so. Yet, this is frustrating.. ;/
Edit:
Also, shared files/folders doesnt seem to appear together your own files. That is really bad..
Ok, saw the free upgrade and got it. Thanks for the the heads up, I had no idea they were going t lower it to 7Gb. Thanks op!!

Thanks for this....I've been using skydrive for a long time now but, just for a few documents and some WP7 apps (store their files on it). I was using less than 1gb, but, now I got plenty of space.
Can Zune (on my WP7 phone) stream from there ?
Zune, currently, cannot stream from SkyDrive, but Cloud Music can.

If you're like me, you regularly forget your data cable at home, in hotels or at the 24-hour Pokemon Trading Card Repository. In such cases, 2011's New App of the Year, AirDroid, is a lifesaver. It's an incredibly comprehensive remote management app that lets you access your Android device via a desktop web browser, complete with file management, app installations, photo browser, and lots more. The creators are ready to step up their game with the second version of AirDroid, and have set up an invite-only beta.
The only feature confirmed by the AirDroid team is the ability to create an account and log into remote management from anywhere, which presumably includes mobile networks. This would mirror various PC remote access services, with the notable exception of actual screen control. Given the amount of polish that the original AirDroid already shows, I'm sure there will be plenty more crammed in as well.
Invites should be going out soon, so sign up if you want to get in. The beta will be three months long, give or take, after which everyone else should be able to join in the party. And if you haven't checked out the original yet, what are you waiting for

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfXRhSIm-m0
The great thing about AirDroid is that it works - it's easy to start up, and functions flawlessly (in my experience). The interface is also very polished - mimicking a desktop launcher complete with moveable icons, a task bar, and controls that allow you to do just about anything.
One of the most impressive features is the ability to access SMS messages, manage them, and send messages right from a web browser. Users can also manage contacts, uninstall/backup apps (AirDroid will download your apps as apk files), browse files, access the Android Market, and manage music and ringtones, in addition to the ability to look at phone information from CPU status to battery level and beyond.
Best of all, AirDroid is completely free from the Android Market. With all the powerful features it offers, this app is certainly worth checking out.
ITS FREE

i am using airdroid a lot at home, because it is working very good and very fast and the UI is very good, but the only problem in my opinion is that you need to connect to a shared wifi net....is there any program witch uses the WIFI direct function of the samsung galaxy s2 or that i can log in into a adhoc network?
