Karen Mauer Green 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2009 I'm very attracted by Verizon's new Droid smartphone, but will I be able to have my TMG on it? It has the android O/S that supposedly will run more apps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2009 TMG is a Windows application and will not run on a smartphone based on the Android operating system. You need to find some 3rd party developer with an Android application that will allow display of TMG data or a GEDCOM on the Droid. Look at sites like... http://www.android.com/market/ Here's an app and a discussion of the issue... http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genea...roid-phone.html Family Bee http://beekeeperlabs.com/android.html AGeneDB http://uk.androlib.com/android.application...enedb-zqqn.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karen Mauer Green 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks for you help! I figured it would be a 3rd party developer, but also figured you'd have good leads for me. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know about "mature applications" yet, but has anyone tried out the new GedStarPro v4 for Android? http://ghcssoftware.com/android/index.php and http://www.androidzoom.com/uk/android_appl...iewer_mpvc.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2011 GedStar Pro for Android is very well done and will import your TMG database directly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bizegrama 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2011 I recently installed GedStar Pro for Android on my HTC Evo (available through Market on Sprint phone). It works great. No ability to edit, but all I need it for is when going to a research facility. The software itself is a free download, but there is a cost to purchase the converter program.

Thanks Jim and Bizegrama - sounds a bit like the Whollygenes link to Gedstar pro needs a bit of an update http://www.whollygenes.com/Merchant2/merch...ode=GEDSTPRO-DL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E Wilcock 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 Just a thank you to Jim Byram for the reassurance on Gedstar Pro on Android. We'd repeatedly put off the decision on a smart phone, because nothing matched up to Gedstar Pro on the old Palm. Seeing your post here last week decided us and we went for Android. So I am now using my old favourite Gedstar Pro on a Samsung Galaxy S2. Took two of our trees on a trip. As a new user of smart phones, I found the Menu Index a bit quick under elderly fingers, but once I master the app, I believe there are favourites and short cuts etc to improve navigation. Most amazingly, locations were located on the Google map - though no doubt this small miracle of technology may exhaust my download allowance which also remains a mystery at this stage. A great luxury and we avoided taking a lap top with us. I do appreciate the input on this Forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
