@SaltyAimbOtter are you willing to contribute an updated installation guide?
The easiest was would be to write a new guide e.g. on https://medium.com and I could then link this article instead of the built-in setup guide. However, filing a PR is also welcome.
On Facebook, a user also suggested to install DAVx from f-droid.org, where it is free - but adding the alternative store is also somewhat inconvenient: https://f-droid.org/de/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid/
Installing f-droid is just an extra step - users will have to install from an APK anyways if they want it for free. So it does not really make much sense to force them to install F-Droid.
I will open a PR.
An alternative app to the open sync
app would be PeopleSync CardDAV Client
I tested it successfully. see discussion #59
Thank you for the comment, it seems that this would be a better option since it is in the Play Store! It is technically also DAVx⁵ according to https://github.com/messageconcept/PeopleSyncClient and therefore GPLv3. Would you like to open the PR instead, since you already made all the screenshots anyways?

Yes, I do that when I find the time for it.
Great, you can find the pages in src/main/webapp/setup-android.
@SaltyAimbOtter Android tutorial is updated. Therefore the issue is solved.
New version is online: https://phoneblock.net/phoneblock/setup-android/
Thank you for your work on this project!
While following the installation guide for Android, I noticed that the suggested app is no longer available in the Google Player Store. On GitHub it is marked as "archived" as of Jul 11, 2023.
Therefore I suggest updating the installation tutorial to the upstream project of Open Sync, DAVx⁵. The tutorial could either suggest using the PlayStore version (which costs money) or downloading the latest release for free from GitHub.
