Sync contacts and calendar with microG

[Vavun]

Hi

Are there any plans to create Google contacts and calendar sync analogs/providers in microg ? Or other ways to sync contacts and events directly with Google without third-party applications and services like webdav

Currently users are forced to use Google components (com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts and com.google.android.syncadapters.calendarfor) in order to have full synchronization capabilities.

This is inconvenient for several reasons: Lack of much-needed functionality by default You need to install proprietary components Most often, you can’t just install these apks; you need additional actions and the selection of a suitable version of sync provider for your Android.

I'm not sure about the plans, but about calendar there is an alternative: if you install Google Calendar (even without using it) then sync will start working even in other calendar apps.

For DAV: you do not need proprietary components. The FOSS DAVx5, which is available on F-Droid, seems to support Google accounts.

I know about different hacks and third-party apps, I wonder if this is planned in microG itself.

DAVx5 is working perfectly. Makes not sense to integrate this here.

If I'm not wrong this need a separate log-in, it cannot reuse the Google account of the device. Some people want that.

I know its not what you're asking for exactly, but I sync my google contacts just fine.

You have to have google contacts sync adapter and Calendar sync adapters installed. I flash them as an addon from NikGapps but you can also install them as a Magisk module: Magisk module by Tomwigger and dreamwhite
