Hi, I noticed today, that there are two apps for org-mode on android, namely MobileOrg and MobileOrgNG. Is there any significant difference between them in terms of functionality and stability? Is any of them to be recommended over the other one? So far, I've been using MobileOrg and it worked for me. Regards, Laurent

When I started using org-mobile, I used the NG version, but switched to the 'original' version where development is more active. However, I really prefer the NG user interface over normal MobileOrg's. It feels more modern and better integrated to Android 4.0. (Though it's not perfect) I'd really like to improve the look of MobileOrg itself, but I really can't get myself to program in java. > So far, I've been using MobileOrg and it worked for me. > > Regards, > Laurent -- Moritz Ulrich [-- Attachment #2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 486 bytes --]

Here you find a short opinion to the difference: http://sachachua.com/blog/0000/00/06/ In past IIRC MobileOrg does not provide to see the entries of the different org-files, only the agenda and TODO-List was visible. If i Push the org-files under Windows with MobileOrg the different org-files are not synced, but with MobileOrgNG they are. If i push the org-files under Mac OS, the org-files are synced even with MobileOrg. I'm mostly using MobileOrgNG with the disadvantage, that the content of Drawers on Android are not visible. You can play with both and decide later, whats your favorite. Cu, Robert

See the discussion here<https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/issues/201>. It seems that changing from sha1sum.exe to md5sum.exe for the generation of the checksum file fixes that issue.

Changing sha1sum.exe to md5sum.exe did not change anything for me, but changing from Gnuwin sha1sum/md5sum to the one from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/sha1sum.exe seems to fix the issue for me. I hope, other issues are fixed too. Sometimes org-mobile-push crashes because of IIRC unexpected hashes. If I remove the related agenda-file(s), do the push, and then add the files to the agenda-files the push sometimes is succesfull. I have no idea, how to fix it. Cu, Robert

I would at least like to post a workaround for this issue on the mobileorg-android web page. Henning [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 2226 bytes --]

At first there were no md5sum binary found. So i installed the coreutils (and diffutils) from gnuwin32. Seems that these utils don't work fine with emacs. > I hope, other issues are fixed too.

Invoking C-c C-x RET p from one file which begins with # Time-stamp: "2012-09-27 Do 01:17:19 (re)" #+LAST_MOBILE_CHANGE: 2012-03-12 21:40:01 #TAGS: PHONE(p) URGENT(u) MAIL(e) Anwesenheit (a) Musik (m) Orgel (o) Cello (i) I got an error, then I deleted line 2 #+LAST_MOBILE_CHANGE: 2012-03-1221:40:01 the error no more occured. After this i copied the line in another agenda-file from wich invoking org-mobile-push does not result in an error. The error did not occur with this changed file. Then I copied the line in the first file and started org-mobile-push: The error didn't occur further. So i am confused. I'll play with this, but i think this will take much time. Do you speak german? Im thinking, you can better understand me, if i could write in german. Thanks, Robert
