CalDAV-Sync beta (v. 0.2-rc3)

dmfs опубликовал приложение 2011-11-22
(обновлено 2011-11-22)

CalDAV-Sync is a CalDAV client for Android to synchronize events. Due to its implementation as sync adapter it integrates seamlessly with the native calendar app and  widgets.
(Also check out CardDAV-Sync)
This app will create new calendars on your device (one for each calendar on your server account)

@drjones: You can create as many accounts as you like. See the screenshots. On my test system I've 15 CalDAV-Sync accounts and a total of 30 calendars.

Please, if you find a bug send me an email. Without detailed error description I often can't do anything especially when I can't reproduce it. It's also possible that your server has a bug that CalDAV-Sync can not (yet) tolerate or work around. If you report bugs I can fix them quickly and everyone will benefit.

This app is in beta state. This means: It works quite well but a few features may still be missing.
It is tested and works with
- DAViCal
- SOGo
- Zimbra
- OSX/iCal Server
- eGroupware
- Oracle Beehive
- david.fx
- Yahoo
- iCloud
- and many more, see http://dmfs.org/wiki/ for a list of all servers reported to work

After the installation got to "Settings" > "Accounts & Sync" and create a new Account.

Please enable background data if you want to sync via 3G or 4G.

Important! If your phone removes the accounts on reboot, move the App back from SD card to the phone. Some phones (if not all) can't handle sync adapters on SD Card properly.

The calendar app on the screenshots is not part of this app.
If there is no calendar installed on your device, go to my website and install CalendarProvider.apk and Calendar.apk (FroYo and Gingerbread only)

Once this app reaches version 1.0, I'll make it open source.

Features and (some of its) limitations:

* basic support for self-signed certificates
* any number of CalDAV-accounts supported
* automatic calendar discovery (works for most servers)
* syncs multiple alarms
* load calendar colors from servers if available
* two-way-sync
* sync multiple calendars per account
* full support for time zones
* attendees are not yet synced
* many other things, please see my website

Contact Editor++ (v. 0.4.1)

dmfs опубликовал приложение 2011-10-20
(обновлено 2011-10-20)

This is the contact editor (and only the editor) from the Android 2.1 sources.
I fixed it to make it work with arbitrary contact sources and removed the dependencies on the internal API to make it work with more recent Android versions.
Also this version will get some improvements. Write me for feature requests.

Currently, it has the following enhancements (compared to the stock contact editor of Android 2.1):

* basic group management (still needs some work)
* more predefined labels for phone numbers and emails (for custom contact sources)
* labels for websites
* slightly rearranged layout (less scrolling)
* extra confirmation step when deleting fields (to prevent accidental deletion of fields)
* "take photo" option
* manage multiple contact photos
* additional fields in organization: department & role
* date picker for events (can handle phones that store dates as timestamps internally)
* set contact ring tone and "send directly to voice mail"
* field for "Internet Call" (Android 2.3+ only)
* allows to set behaviour when back-button is pressed
* more to come (write me)

After installing this app you won't see any launcher icon in your app list. It will be started whenever you try to edit or create a contact (and you select org.dmfs.android.contacteditorpp).

It's primary intention is to offer users of custom sync adapters (like CardDAV-Sync) a way to edit synced contacts. Please keep in mind that your sync adapter may not be able to sync all fields that Contact Editor++ offers.
Beside that, many users without custom sync adapters found this editor useful.

This app will not edit or remove contacts from read-only sources like Facebook! This is due to the definition of read-only!
Also, if you see a blank screen when editing contacts that are aggregated with a Facebook contact, try to remove and recreate your Facebook account. Facebook limits access from other apps which breaks the contacts API in a way. For further information see http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/22/google-android-facebook-contacts/

Also, this app lets you edit some fields, that many contact apps do not even show (department, role, website labels). This is not a Contact Editor++ bug.

This App is reported to work on several Android 2.x devices.

Note regarding Events:
There is a big problem with events in this editor (better: with Android). The Android SDK documentation states about the database column for the date: 'The event start date as the user entered it.'  Unfortunately does every manufacturer have it's own opinion about the format. Some are happy with 'yyyy-mm-dd', my phone uses unix timestamps.
So, before you can edit an event's date you will have to set the device's internal date format. Open the menu and select "settings". If your device doesn't recognize one format, try another one. Write me if no format works for you!

Btw: just writing a comment like "Doesn't work on..." won't help neither you nor me to get it running on your device. Please contact me if you have problems.

Please report bugs by sending me a mail stating what happened and what you did before it happened. Often the Market bug reports are not very helpful without additional informations.

known issues:

* taken contact photos appear twice in media gallery

CardDAV-Sync beta (v. 0.3.10)

CardDAV-Sync is a CardDAV client for Android to synchronize contacts. Due to its implementation as sync adapter it integrates seamlessly with the default contacts app.
(Also check out CalDAV-Sync beta)

<b>Important note for Jelly Bean users</b>: To prevent the removal of your accounts on reboot install this app:

Please, if you find a bug send me an email. Without detailed error description I often can't do anything especially when I can't reproduce it. It's also possible that your server has a bug that CardDAV-Sync can not (yet) tolerate or work around. If you report bugs I can fix them quickly and everyone will benefit.

This is the paid version of CardDAV-Sync beta. It equals the free version except that it syncs more fields. Visit my website for details.

Please uninstall the free version before you install the paid one (and vice versa).

After the installation got to "Settings" > "Accounts & Sync" and create a new Account.

<b>Important!</b> If your phone removes the accounts on reboot, move the App back from SD card to the phone. Some phones (if not all) can't handle sync adapters on SD Card properly.

For users which are unable to edit or create synced contacts I published an editor at the market. Just search for "Contact Editor" or see my website.

Once this app reaches version 1.0, I'll make it open source.
See http://dmfs.org/wiki/index.php?title=Open_source_status for details on the open source status.

<b>Features:</b>

* Sync contacts from a CardDAV-server (tested and reported to work with DAViCal, SOGo, egroupware, Zimbra, david.fx, Yahoo, ownCloud ... and more see my website for details)

* basic support for self-signed certificates

* two-way-sync (please, don't forget to backup your contacts before you use this! It is still beta!)

* syncs names, phone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses, photos, birthdays (but please visit "date formats" on my website first), notes, instant messengers, organizations, nicknames, categories (groups), phonetic names and websites

* automatic address book discovery (works with most servers in default configuration)

* NEW! Supports Apple-style custom labels (X-ABLABEL)

It is still under development and some important features may be missing. Known limitations are:

* Contact lists (Apple-style groups) are not supported yet

* only "server wins" and "phone wins" (default) conflict resolution available (that is when a contact is updated on server and on phone between two syncs)



Please report bugs. Feedback is very welcome.

Btw: just writing a comment like "Doesn't work on..." won't help neither you nor me to get it running on your device. Please contact me if you have problems.

known bugs:

* crashes if phone orientation is changed during setup

* it may not sync if the contact collection on the server contains vcards which are not well formated (it is quite tolerant yet, but certain, very rare, format errors still will prevent a successful sync operation)

* @david.fx users: david.fx returns all links to contacts from sub-folders. Currently this leads to the situation that some contacts may appear multiple times (joined to one contact)

Contact Editor Free (v. 0.6.2.1)

dmfs опубликовал приложение 2011-08-04
(обновлено 2013-04-26)

This is the contact editor (and only the editor) from the Android 2.1 sources.
I just fixed it to make it work with arbitrary contact sources (like CardDAV-Sync) and removed the dependencies on the internal API to make it work with Android 2.2 and later.
So all credits go to Google.

After installing this app you won't see any launcher icon in your app list. It will be started whenever you try to edit or create a contact (and you select "Contact Editor Free").

If you can edit all your contacts you may not have any benefits from this app. It is useful if you use some custom Sync-Adapter that does not feature its own editor (like CardDav-Sync) and your editor can not edit those contacts.
However some people reported it is useful if your phone's manufacturer removed the ability to edit custom labels.

Also, have a look at "Contact Editor Pro" an improved version of this editor. ( https://market.android.com/details?id=org.dmfs.android.contacteditorpp )

Get support and news via Twitter https://twitter.com/dmfs_org

This app can not edit or remove contacts from read-only sources like Facebook or Cloudtact! This is due to the definition of read-only!
Also, if you see a blank screen when editing contacts that are aggregated with a Facebook contact, try to remove and recreate your Facebook account. Facebook limits access from other apps which breaks the contacts API in a way. For further information see http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/22/google-android-facebook-contacts/

Note regarding Events:
There is a big problem with events in this editor (better: with Android). The Android SDK documentation states about the database column for the date: 'The event start date as the user entered it.'  Unfortunately does every manufacturer have it's own opinion about the format. Some are happy with 'yyyy-mm-dd', my phone uses unix timestamps.
So if your phone doesn't accept the 'yyyy-mm-dd' format try entering a unix-timestamp ;-). Seriously, I think about removing this feature until I've found a proper solution. You can help by sending me mails with your phone model, os version and which formats work or don't work for you.

Btw: just writing a comment like "Doesn't work on..." won't help neither you nor me to get it running on your device. Please contact me if you have problems.

Please report bugs by sending me a mail stating what happened and what you did before it happened. Often the Market bug reports are not very helpful without additional informations.

known issues:

* on some devices this app hangs when it is opened. If this happens to you, please send me an email!
* crashes in some very rare cases. I've no further information about those cases and I'm not able to reproduce them. Please send me an email with your phone model, your OS version and what kind of sync-adapters you have installed. Thanks!

Important Note: SOGo 1.3.11 on Ubuntu 11.10 seems to be broken. If you're using Ubuntu 11.10 you should stick to SOGo 1.3.10. I'm working on a workaround.

@David: the feature you want is part of "Contact Editor Pro", it's not in the free edition of Contact Editor.

Handsfree-Lite (v. 1.16)

dmfs опубликовал приложение 2011-04-07
(обновлено 2011-04-07)

Handsfree-Lite is the free, feature-limited version of Handsfree. The full version supports additional features like speaker mode support and an alternative speech recognition which doesn't rely on a data connection.

Handsfree is a small Android App to answer or reject calls with a voice command. This is particular useful in situation where you have no hands free (e.g. when you're riding a bike, driving a car, programming, weight lifting, playing guitar) or you just don't want to use your hands (e.g. when its f**king cold outside or you're just too lazy).

Please make sure you removed Handsfree-Lite before you install Handsfree!

The current release is primarily meant to be used with a wired headset. Bluetooth headsets are currently not supported.

As an extra feature Handsfree can tell you who is calling you (you need an installed text-to-speech packet for this to work). Many Phones can do this on their own, but with Handsfree you can limit this feature to when you use a wired headset. So your phone doesn't tell everybody else next to you who's calling you.

Handsfree is developed and fully working on a Motorola Defy. If something doesn't work as expected, please contact me before you give a low rating.

Also, you should know that, depending on the recognition engine you use, you may need an internet connection for Handsfree to work. (The Google Voice Recognition engine uses Google's servers for the recognition)
