This app is entirely based on Chrome to Phone! It has the same features (and bugs, lol) as the original with some additional cool features! The original app is awesome and it deserves all the credits, this app is only adding more features!

Browser to Phone lets you process incoming links virtually anyway you want it:
* download anything to your phone, instead of just opening the link
* convert file to other formats (i.e. send a bmp link, convert it to jpg and then download it)
* apply wallpapers/ringtones (i.e. send an image link and apply it as wallpaper)
* open specific apps (i.e. send an appbrain link and open android market automatically)
* more and more!

There are plentiful preloaded processes to use. Send suggestions about new processes/commands by e-mail and if feasible, they will be added on the next update!

You may create custom processes for your needs, define when they should run and what they will do. As this is not a simple task, you may search the web for custom processes done by other users and import them.

Download Processes: http://www.thiagorosa.com.br/android/browsertophone/files.php

You need to install a browser Extension on your computer to send links to your phone. Each browser has its own extension and they can be downloaded from:

Google Chrome: http://chrome.google.com/extensions
Mozilla Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxtophone
Opera: https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/details/opera-to-phone

How does the REPEAT command work exactly?

I'm trying to create my own process and I need to wait a few seconds between commands, is there a WAIT (or similar) command?

Yes, Im getting this message on Android app. I have just tried to uninstall Chrome to phone app and nothing changed. Even worse I have installed it back and now I can not connect on the official app too lol.

tampiss,
I just tested again and both apps connect successfully!

There isn't any difference at all between the two apps during the connection. The only difference on Browser To Phone is that it processes links after they are received on the phone, nothing else!

1) i didn't find any yet... but you can export yours and let other people use it
2) what would you like to do exactly?
3) they are stored on the sd card, inside the download folder
4) you should use this:
action=android.intent.action.VIEW
type=application/vnd.android.package-archive
data=the apk file (example: file:///mnt/sdcard/download/abcde.apk)

This APK process should be similar to "Image to Wallpaper"!

The input will always be concatenated on the DATA field. So you probably don't need to do anything!

The input will be the output of the previous command. If the previous command is a HTTP_DOWNLOAD, the output will be where the file was downloaded. After that you should replace /mnt by file:// (check the Image to Wallpaper process)

Did you notice the unit test feature? (menu)
You can easily test without having to actually send the link to the phone. You setup a unit test link (http://www........./yourapp.apk) and you can long press each command to test it!

Yep I have noticed all of that and tested.

I may have another question :)
When downloading img from Chrome I always get the img downloaded as xxxx.jpg(125x210) which stands for the img size. Well when I look at the Chrome tab I see it in the title. Unfortunatelly it is downloaded and named as above so that to open the downloaded img I have to rename it first.

Any hint for replace or solution would be great.

Thank you.

Edit: I have found a bug. When sending any text it has a wrong encoding. I use special chars such ěřč yet they come to phones clipboard as mess.

    Convert Youtube to MP3

    Convert Youtube to MP3:
    http://rhaige.freevar.com/Convert_Youtube_to_MP3.b2p

    Right click on the link above and send it to your phone!

    After that, if you send youtube links to your phone, this process will convert to mp3 and download the audio to your phone!

    If you find any bugs, please let me know! The conversion site used by this process changes a lot, so I will probably have to update it in the future!

    rhaige,
    REPEAT has three parameters: regex, count, wait
    The purpose of this command is to REPEAT the next command until the REGEX is returned. It will repeat COUNT times with a WAIT seconds interval between them.

    tampiss,
    It is the same extension from chrome to phone: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/oadboiipflhobonjjffjbfekfjcgkhco

    Where do you get this error message?

    Is it on the android app? is it while connecting to your account?
    or is it on the chrome extension?

    thanks!
