Re: [Bitpim-devel] Fw: VX4600 support

[Roger B. <ro...@ro...>]

I have committed code that works for me when testing on the VX6000
(the phone just ignores it - I am using the directory structure).
When reading from the phone, BitPim automatically adds an extension
to the directory name to name the resulting file.  When writing
back again, the extension is stripped to come up with the directory
name and the mime-type deduced from the extension.  This basically
means you can just use ordinary files with BitPim and the right
thing happens.

You need to do the following:

  - Test and verify things work for you.  I tested adding,
    replacing and reading

  - Get a full complete listing of what the phone expects for
    mime-types.  Some of these are not standard.  This is what 
    I use so far:

    __mimetoextensionmapping={
        'image/jpg': '.jpg',
        'image/bmp': '.bmp',
        'image/png': '.png',
        'image/gif': '.gif',
        'image/bci': '.bci',
        'audio/mp3': '.mp3',
        'audio/mid': '.mid',
        'audio/qcp': '.qcp'
        }

  - Is there a maximum number of wallpapers or ringtones that can
    be made?  [The code currently sets a limit of 30 which is the
    same as other LG phones, but they have a fixed sized index file]

  - In conjunction with the next bit, work out what number is added
    to a wallpaper or ringtone index to store it in the phonebook.
    For example, the builtin image 'Butterfly' will be stored as
    zero.  If you have added a wallpaper with index value of 3, what
    is it stored as in the phonebook.  On other LG phones, they add
    50, so it would be stored as 53.

  - Start working on the phonebook.  Add an entry where you fill out
    each field to the maximum possible length.  Read the phonebook
    with protocol logging turned on.  Find that entry in the
    protocol log, highlight the whole packet and press Ctrl-Alt-P.
    Check the decoding of the fields.  The description is in pbentry
    in p_lgvx4600.p.  That is what will need to be changed to get
    things right.  When you get to this stage tell me and I will
    give more detailed instructions.
