After some final coding last night, I finally finished the new feature for SynCE-KPM: viewing the registry of your device via SynCE-KPM.
Currently, the feature is only available in the SVN version of SynCE-KPM (which depends on the SVN version of librapi2). However, we are currently thinking about releasing the 0.15 version of SynCE, which would contain this new feature. As soon as more information about the new release is available, you will also see that on my website.
To show the new feature in this version, I decided to create another screencast. While the previous screencast did show a lot, it was relatively boring due to the fact that there was no sound at all. Therefore, I decided to add a voice over to this new screencast, explaining everything in a bit more detail. In the screencast I do not show all features related to the syncing part (via sync-engine) again, because this takes quite some time and this has already been shown in my previous screencast. In the current screencast, sync-engine is not running and only the device management capabilities of SynCE-KPM are shown.
The screencast:
Of course, you can still view the old screencast if you would like to see the display the status of an ongoing sync-process, or installing a CAB file onto your device. This old screencast is in the Lost screencast post on my website. Please note, that this old screencast is without any sound.
When you have the feature of viewing the contents of the registry, of course the next question is to be able to edit the contents of the registry. This is what I see as the next feature to implement in SynCE-KPM, though at the moment I don’t know when I will have time for this. As with this currently implemented new feature, whenever I have time, I will start working on it 
If you have any questions, suggestions, etc, please leave a post or send me an email.

To install synce-kpm under Ubuntu, please follow the instructions on the website of SynCE.
Using the above instructions should make it relatively easy to install the latest version (i.e. 0.15).
Tried to download as per above with “deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu lucid main” and got following Error!
Could not download all repository indexes
The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.
Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu/dists/Lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Great tool. This is what I was searching about a long time. But I’ve a problem. I’m able to sync my calendar and my contacts (works well) , but I can’t sync my ‘notes’ directory from my ‘MDA compact II’ with opensuse11.2 (i586). Maybe you can give me a hint
thnx

Can you please drop me an email urgently, it’s regarding synce-kpm on your SynCE overlay for Gentoo, it is missing a very important patch (synce-kpm-r3950.patch) in files/ which is needed to build the package.
Hello Mr. Diepen,
I am working with openSUSE 11.3 – 32 bit.
When I start SynCE-KPM from the desktop the small icon starts bumping up and down but nothing happens. No system tray icon…
Doing the same from the console there is no error message either, but it still does not work. This is independent from whether I start sync-engine before or not.
Could you please give me a hint, where to look?
Thank you in advance and best regards,
Klaus Fietze

Thank you very much for your great program. I found out that in combination with Fur I can even mount my windows ce device and have full r/w access. So no booting into Windows any longer – yipiiiie!
