I'm a quiet observer on this list, and have never used Replicant myself, only helped some family members with Android... so take this with a grain of salt... I'm not away of any scripts to do a Palm-era style USB cable sync, but all the research I've done suggests with the sync model in the Android era is web-based -- with CardDAV and CalDAV as the open standards. I'm self-hosting SOGo for this, though also using ownCloud at work (ownCloud is much easier to host). You'd still be depending on a "cloud" to sync, but it could be self-hosted, or hosted by another service provider / friend you trust. For KDE... http://doc.owncloud.org/server/7.0/user_manual/pim/sync_kde.html It seems like DAVdroid is an option for CalDAV/CardDAV sync, but maybe only for Android 4+? https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=dav&fdid=at.bitfire.davdroid I'm not sure if that helps much... but in my experience, self-hosted CalDAV/CardDAV seems to be the most freedom-friendly and privacy-friendly alternate to a Google account sync... and note that this is just contacts and calendars, not your call log, or SMS message history, or anything else like that... _______________________________________________ Replicant mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/replicant
