SynerGV 2

SynerGV 2 is a re-write and somewhat functionally changed SynerGV 1 (in my synergv1 repo) Google Voice(tm) app for webOS.

It is implemented partially as a significantly modified version of Alexander Stetsyuk's outstanding node-google-voice implementation at https://github.com/amper5and/node-google-voice .

The node-google-voice module in this package has gone through extensive changes that were required to make it operate in the node 0.2 and 0.4 versions available within webOS. **note: it does work in the 0.4 version in webOS 3.0.5, it may require additional work to get it working in webOS 3.0.4 or earlier, which used node 0.2.

There are also several other node.js libraries that are included in this package, most of which have undergone anywhere from minor to significant modifications to work with the older version of node, or to hammer them into operating in a specific fashion.

Originally written in 2011-2012 for webOS 3.0.x, SynerGV is one of the most popular Google Voice(tm) management apps out there, and is the only app ever released on the HP/Palm App Catalog that implemented Synergy Instant Messaging support. (Thanks to lack of documentation...)

SynerGV was originally built as an app to allow SMS text messaging from a tablet, and has been enhanced to support nearly every function of Google Voice.

Plans had been made to create a SynerGV 3, which would have been written in a combination of standard Javascript using Enyo v2, as well as platform specific pieces in other languages, such as node.js Javascript, Android Java, QML, and others, but lack of time on the author's part has made that an excruciatingly slow project that may not ever see the light of day.

=== To run in Chrome ===

(Windows) Create a new shortcut on your desktop to Chrome. Edit that shortcut, and add "--disable-web-security" to the Target. Example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-web-security

(Unix) run google-chrome --disable-web-security or chromium --disable-web-security (depending on wether you are using chrome or chromium)

(Mac/others) I don't use a Mac, but you should be able to adapt the above instructions.

This might work in Opera, if Opera 20+ supports the --disable-web-security command.

Do NOT use the disable-web-security switch for active browsing!!! Only use it when working with known good files.

Use that shortcut, and load the "index.html" in the repo into your Chrome window, such as: file:///D:/src/synergv2/app/index-chrome.html

=== Deploying to webOS ===

Update the version number in app/appinfo.json and package/packageinfo.json, then run one of these bat files: pack.bat -- to create an ipk file inst.bat -- to create an ipk file and deploy it to a device dist.bat -- to create an ipk file, deploy it to device, and run the app.

=== Deploying to other systems ===

Don't even think about trying it with this one. You want "synergv1". This repo contains a whole ton of webOS specific code.

=== Potential issues === When running it in Chrome, it asks you to run Java. If I remember correctly, Java is only necessary if you are attempting to use the built-in Enyo bridge to actually communciate with a live device that has a luna-service bus. I don't think this ever actually worked, or if it did, I never figured out how to get it working.

When running it in Chrome, it may stick at "Loading Accounts..." with a spinner that spins. (what else did you expect a spinner would do?) I'm looking into this. This may have to do with the Java thing, but I thought we were disabling that, and forcing it to specifically use the "mock" service data files. If anyone has a solution, please submit a code review/pull request!
