RE: LG VX-125

Thanks for the great pointers, Brent...  After working on it for a few
nights, I've gotten phonebook downloading working pretty well (it's actually
an LG VI-125, BTW, not a VX-125; somehow I got the model number of my own
phone wrong).
 
So far, I've been able to localize all my changes to new files
com_lgvi125.py and p_lgvi125.p (and the resultant p_lgvi125.py, of course),
with just the one additional line in guiwidgets.py to add LG-VI125 to the
phonemodels list.  I suppose that's to be expected, but I was impressed with
the design of the project (Python is even growing on me a little).
 
I was originally only planning on adding phonebook support, but now that
that's gone easier than I expected, I'm thinking about adding calendar, etc.
support as well.  I definitely still want to add phonebook upload support,
of course.
 
So, once I want to submit something to the project, where do I send it?
Obviously I don't have write access to the CVS repository, so I can't just
check it in.  I suppose I should probably at least get phonebook upload
support working before I submit anything, and perhaps I should just bang
everything else out as well.

Andrew,

I have just started work on supporting the LG PM-325 phone also from Sprint.
I have the reading of the phonebook stuff working pretty well.  I would
recommend looking at the P_lgvx400.p and com_lgvx4400.py files.  

The first thing you will need to do is figure out the phone book entry
packet structure.  You will need to use the protocol logger to do this.
Unfortunately it does not correspond to a single file in the filesystem on
the phone.


best of luck,

Brent Roettger

I'm relatively new to BitPim (it was recommended by the person I bought a
USB cable from).  I'm intrigued by the prospect of adding phone book support
(and possibly more) for my LG VX-125 (Sprint PCS) phone.  I'm a developer by
trade, and though I've never done any Python development or phone
development of any kind, it doesn't look like it'll be too complex.
 
I've already set up my development environment, but I figured before I did
anything heavy I should verify that no one else is currently working on the
125 (if so, my efforts as a new developer would most likely be inferior).
If anyone else is working on it, let me know.  Otherwise, I'll have at it.
 
Also, if anyone has any recommendations on what exactly to examine (in the
phone's filesystem, or the BitPim source code, or wherever else) to get
started on phone book support, let me know.  I suppose I have a good bit of
code to look through.
