Have installed Defrost (open desire ROM)
I want to sync my phone with my PC (Outlook, contacts, calendar)
I know that I can not use HTC sync with this ROM which I really really like (the ROM)
Does any body know a solution????
Most important is that I can sync calendar!
Thanks in advance
I installed Google Calendar Sync on my PC.
It hooks into Outlook and synchronizes your outlook calendar with your Google account calendar. The sync can be 1 way (from either PC or phone) or 2 way.
All you need is your phone to have an 3G or WIFI connection to update.
Only downside to this is that it does not do contacts and email

I used to have a WM and all my contacts are in Outlook 2007, which i still use at home and have my Google mail coming into it via IMAP.
I've noticed that Outlook only syncs with Phone contacts and Gmail with Google contacts.
Is there a way that i can avoid updating 2 lists and still use Outlook?
When i add a new contact why does it have to be either phone or google, why can't it be both?
Are there any apps out there than can sync phone and google contacts on the phone?
G-SyncIt google it, £10 and works really well.

I'm getting mighty confused by these multiple calendars that have appeared on my device and getting them to sync with my Google calendar.
Here's my set up. I have all contacts and calendars on my Google account before I started. I set up my Desire to sync with them using Google account.
All seemed fine but I found the Gmail app on Desire pretty limiting so I set up an Exchange activesync account linked to my gmail account for my mail (always worked well on my HD) and set it to sync calendar and contacts too. I then disabled all the syncing through the google account to avoid complications.
Unfortunately the exchange account doesn't seem to be configured for push and has no option to change this but that's not why I'm here.
Coming from WM, I'm used to having one calendar that is in sync between Outlook on PC, Google calendar and mobile device.
When I co to calendars on my Desire now I have no less than 4:
My Calendar
xxx @ gmail.com
Exchange
PC Sync
What's going on here? Which is which? So far HTC Sync connects but will not swap any contacts or calendar items with device and vice versa. Nor do appointments I add to the device show up on Google Calendar.
I suspect that this is because these different profiles seem to be associated with one platform - outlook / google / desire - or another.
Can anyone shed any light?
Many thanks, M1.
For anyone else trying to work this out there is a useful (bit old) thread here:

It seems you need to be careful which calendar you add entries too if you want them to sync with cloud mail - I unticked the box next to My Calendar so now entries I add on the Desire default to the google account calendar and sync as expected.
Now have to get to grips with the PC Sync calendar and work out why none of my events and contacts are syncing with out look. Sigh - it's just another learning curve i guess ...

Push can be enabled under the Exchange ActiveSync Settings. It defaults to every 10 minutes, there's a Push Mail option.

Untick them all except Exchange and you'll just see Calendar entries updated by Exchange. I don't have an Exchange option incidentally, so just untick them all and it still shows.
xx @gmail.com is using the Google Sync interface but you said you dislike the Gmail App. PC Sync is for using HTC Sync via Outlook. This is really for non-Google Calendars/people locked into using Outlook. As you're using Google, you're better off updating direct from Google.
You can in theory use Exchange ActiveSync for E-Mail and Google for Calendar/Contacts or visa versa but obviously it makes more sense to use one method or the other. As Gmail supports Exchange ActiveSync, there is basically crossover between using Exchange ActiveSync (and the HTC Mail App) or Google Sync (and the Gmail App).

I presume, so you have them in Outlook too? Don't bother.
I use GSyncit to update Outlook. This talks directly to Google and gets Contacts/Calendar. It's well worth the $10-15. For me it goes:
* Outlook to Google via GSyncit: Both ways
* Google to HTC Desire via Exchange ActiveSync (or Google Sync if I prefer): Again both ways
how can i sync my contact from Outlook to Gmail ??? so i can transfer them to the phone ?
i sow somewhere software that sync the conatcts from outlook to Gmail and in this way i could be able nc to get the conatct to my desire after i sync it to gmail
can anybody help me please?
(p.s. i tryied the easy way to export CSV file from the outlook and import it on gmail but its not good and all mixed up the name and everything.. so i prefer other way)
thanks !
Isn't that a function that HTC Sync offers?
You can find it on the sd card of your phone.
I used export from Outlook and it worked fine, try using a different file type as google accepts oodles of different ones.
I don't know if it's possible with Outlook instead of Windows Mobile, but you can try.
Sync Outlook (contacts offcourse) through ActiveSync with the gmail server. (m.google.com I believe...) Then all your Outlook contacts should have been synced with gmail.
Maybe backup your contacts before trying.

Google Calendar Sync
I use Google Calendar Sync for that, works great http://dl.google.com/googlecalendarsync/GoogleCalendarSync_Installer.exe
Hello People,
I seem to be having problems with my HTC Desire Calendar.
I am using Desire fireware 2.1 & HTC Sync 2.0.33.
Everytime I add an event in my calendar on phone, it appears "BLUE" in the calendar (For some reason I have 3 calendars in my phone, 2x blue, "MY CALENDAR, & SIZZ calendar, 1x GREEN=PC Sync)
When I sync, it doesnt seem to update on my outlook.
If i add an event on my outlook and sync, it sync beautifully (both PC and phone)
But when I add an event on phone, and sync on PC, nothing gets synced in the calendar. Contacts get updated, but nothing else???
Anybody help?
when you create it on the phone you need to select the PC Sync account, that should be green on your phone = it will then sync.
If you select 'My Calendar' it goes to Google Calendar, not your PC
Cheers dave! Sorted!
Thanks
Hi,
Anyone knows how to sync the HTC Desire with outlook Imap calendar?
My company won't let me directly access my Outlook Calendar via a push, so there are 2 ways that you can do this. One is by sync'ing through the HTC Sync program with your Desire USB plugged in. The second, and my favorite, is to download Google Calendar Sync to your PC, let it 2 way sync with your Outlook calendar and your online Google Calendar, then your Desire can sync with your online Google calendar. The second method allows for 2 way syncing that keeps 3 calendars always in sync.
