[Q] Good iTunes Sync with Rooted Evo - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have been looking around, but cant seem to find the answer to my seemingly unique situation.
I have rooted my evo using the Unrevoked Forever / ClockworkMod method.
In these instructions, it said to remove any sync software such as the htc sync or doubletwist.
I now want to be able to sync with iTunes, so what would be a good suggestion to do this? I liked the iPhone i had from work where when I synced, it would keep track of where i was in a podcast and go back to / start up from where i left off on the computer or on the device. This along with the management of my music would be great to have.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

TuneSync, in Market free version and paid version (worth $5 if you ask me)... But I'm pretty sure you're gonna get the "This belongs in Q&A section" from a few.

...expecting it
but with the all the rooting questions and such in here, I figure it may be a better place to ask.
The mod can move if it necessary.

If you're just looking for something that syncs, you may wanna try winamp. it pulls in tracks from your iTunes library, and has a ton of good functions. Plus, it syncs via wifi. I was looking for an iTunes sync, but when i came across it, i liked it better for the evo. Now, iTunes is relegated strictly to my iPod. Hope that helps.

I use isyncr.

Yep, it works. I've been using it for months now.
**Had no idea about WinAmp though. May try that one out. Thanks Uk!**

I use iTunes Agent and could not be happier with it. It loads all of my music in my iTunes library (including purchased songs) onto my Evo. Google iTunes Agent to find the download the program uses your computer and any music application on your phone. No root required.

Isyncr and album art grabber. It works wonderfully. I've been using it with my Evo since July

I'm using doubleTwist with AirSync (WiFi syncing add-on), works pretty well, and can access my music with the stock Sense player

I have heard Isyncr was good and iSyncher wifi, syncs wirelessly, if I am not mistaken.

+1 for isyncr, worth the 3 bucks. Works flawlessly!

+1 on this one.

iSyncer seems to work well, but it doesnt retain where in a podcast I am at when I pause and exit the application.
It also doesnt update the location I am at on the computer to the phone.
The podcasts are long that i listen to and would like to be able to stop it on my computer, sync, and then pick up on the phone in my car without having to fast forward to, or have to know, where i left off.

Thinking about moving to android, few questions...

Im thinking about moving from WinMo to Android. If you could help me with few questions...
I dont use any Google services, no gmail as I rather use myowndomain.com... I want to sync with Outlook via usb (bluetooth, yeah maybe but usb would be better); contacts, calendar and tasks... Is there good sync software out there?
The main reason for me to have a smartphone for a cell phone, is so I dont need always have a laptop with me. This brings me to opening and editing office apps; I found "Documents to Go" that seems to be OK, anyone using it?
To me its also important to automatically sync folders while syncing with Outlook, any good programs for that? Ive been using MobSync with WinMo and I guess it could work with this too? I found also Microsoft SyncToy, never tried it though...
Can I get my tasks listed on Android today screen like on WinMo? I need to have be reminded of my tasks, otherwise I would spend ½ of my day reading at XDA and not doing any of the things Im supposed to do...
Any comments and help is appreciated... Thanks!

HTC Sync comes with the phone, I also had some contacts stored on my company mail but I've started migrating to gmail because the really really neat integration and extremely useful features.

Yes you can, there are vagarious free apps on the market that even offer feature widgets/notes for the screens
Hi there!
Did you already buy a Desire? I've used winmob before and you sound like you're totally schooled at Outlook with usb sync. HTC has exchange service support and you can sync through usb, It was long time ago since I ever used active sync but a friend of mine use it on Desire and he was not satisfied.
There is calendarpad that can show on start screen as activities or regular day view. Editing documents are thought to be done through Google docs as it is thought to be faster than a full scale office program on the phone. You can other wise get quick office premium for editing offline.

don't know dude, I just liked the app so thought of sharing it...btw I found the app in xperia x10 forums
you have to be part of the beta before the app offers you the beta services.
Sign up on music.google.com
but you have to be in the USA...unless you...erm...use a proxy...or vpn... but I am not telling you to do that
It might take several weeks before you get your invite though.

I signed up to the beta and registered via a vpn but have been using it recently through my normal UK IP. It seems to be working pretty nicely so far
I signed up for the Beta the same day it was annouced/offered and didn't get my invite until June 2, so don't give up yet.
How is this one different than the android market version?
Im guessing for those outside the US, but thought I'd ask.

in this app, i get duplicates
i have a few songs on my phone and also on my cloud that are the same.
is there any way to view only songs stored on cloud?
because i'd also like to keep some songs local.
it has the option to view offline music available,
im looking for an option to display only "online songs" ( cloud)

Got it two weeks ago, uploaded almost 15.000 songs and mixes already. Pretty awesome, songs play almost instantly and completely load over 3g in like 10/15 seconds.
Can confirm you only need a USA IP for actually signing in and agreeing to music manager then installing the app.
After that your normal IP will work with it.
Currently uploading my tunes to it, and working well
Loads quickly via 3G as well, quite handy having access to your library from anywhere.
I don't think you need a USA IP at all. I requested an invitation with a Google Account where the country was set to "UK" and received one weeks ago. I sign into music.google.com using the same account in the UK and have no issues.
YMMV.
I am still trying to find out how I can let Google Music download the Offline content to my external_sd card instead of the internal.
Where is google storing those music files now? Any idea.
Was anybody able to set a song as a ringtone that has been put as offline content?

Google Music Questions

Hi Guys,
I gather not many people actually use Google Music in the UK due to the required work arounds to get it but I am quite interested in using it.
For those who do/have used it:
Do you like it?
Is it worth the work around hassle to gain access?
Will getting it now via the workaround cause problems when it's actually released?
What worthy alternative services are there that aren't iTunes/iCloud/Match?
I want a music service in which I can own my music as well as purchase music, add my existing music to the service, and sync between devices.
I feel like there's nothing that does that apart from iTunes Match and Google Music

Sync iTunes with Android

I installed a program called iTuneMyWalkman that was supposed to transfer all my iTunes music over to my phone via usb, but instead of syncing, it deleted all the songs I already had on my external SD card!
WTF!!
Is there a reliable program out there that can do this?
Can Google Music do this?
Thanks!

Try DoubleTwist. But you may have to spend a couple bucks for some extra features.
I'll try it. I'm out of thanks for today though.
Also, you could give my app "iSyncr" a try. With it, you don't have to leave iTunes and move to another music player on your computer.
If you run into any issues with it, just shoot me an email using the app, I'm here to help!
Cheers!

I use your app isyncr and isyncr wifi. I can personally vouch that they work 100 percent and are very easy to use. I've even begun to use your music player. Thank you very much for your great apps. They are awesome.
To the O.P., use isyncr. Its worth the price and syncs everything from iTunes you could want.

Going to throw my hat in for iSyncr. Kicks a$$ and worth it. Grab the WiFi add on too also 'just works'. I've tried many, MediaMonkey Gold, DoubleTwist and others. This one rocks.
Could you tell me if isyncer worked for you? Things to help a friend with the same issue on his s3. Thanks!

It's a little more effort but check out ibackupbot you can open up old iTunes backups from within the program. I've used it to pull contacts, pictures, and various other things

Second that. I use Doubletwist. It's good software and your best bet if you no longer have the old iPhone.
use Samsung Kies to export Contacts from your iTune backup if did made back up for your old iphone.
Just sync your contacts via itunes with google account. Its everything you need
