Also contacts can be syncronized via CardDAV with the Yahoo template.

Could you explain how to use that with gmail contacts?
It's important after the winter cleanning.

I couldn't make it work.
I couldn't even configure it following the howto wiki

I was able to configure Carddav with version 1.2.2 only.

I used:
Code:
syncevolution --configure \
              username=user@gmail.com \
              password=<password> \
              addressbook/backend=carddav \
              addressbook/database=https://google.com//m8/carddav/principals/__uids__/user@gmail.com/lists/default/ \
              target-config@webdav \
              addressbook

syncevolution --configure \
              --template SyncEvolution_Client \
              syncURL=local://@webdav \
              username= \
              password= \
              webdav \
              addressbook
then I disabled the SSL certificates verification in
Code:
sed -i 's/.*SSLVerifyServer.*/SSLVerifyServer = 0/' /home/user/.config/syncevolution/*/peers/*/config.ini
syncevolution version >= 1.2.99 fails at configuration

what works is to configure with 1.2.2 , then updgrade to 1.3, then make the first sync...

It doesn't sync images...

I don't know if Gmail is compatible with CardDAV protocol. If so, the procedure should be the same as I described.

Google uses CalDAV and CardDAV v3 right now, v2 is marked as deprecated but not omitted for now...

I read this morning CalDAV API is being removed later this year by Google - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/03...etires_reader/ - any possibility of Google Calendar API being used on SyncEvolution?

It doesn't matter what Google winter cleaning says. c*dav should stay because there are a lot of old iphones still around.

I finally put together some dark magic and made Google Carddav work again...

The SSL bug prevents the configuration connection to be made from the phone... so the trick is to set up the configuration in another place (a pc), then copy it to the phone.

IN THE PC tested with syncevolution 1.3.99.3
Code:
syncevolution --keyring=no --configure \
              username=<user>@gmail.com \
              password=<password> \
              addressbook/backend=carddav \
              addressbook/database=https://google.com//m8/carddav/principals/__uids__/default/lists/default/ \
              target-config@webdav \
              addressbook
Then copy the folder in the pc ~/.config/syncevolution/webdav to the same same place in your phone... with openssh you can make.
Code:
scp -r ~/.config/syncevolution/webdav  user@<wifi-phone-ip>:/home/user/.config/syncevolution/webdav
IN THE PHONE tested with syncevolution 1.3.99.3
Code:
syncevolution --configure \
              --template SyncEvolution_Client \
              syncURL=local://@webdav \
              username= \
              password= \
              webdav \
              addressbook
Then disable the certificate verification:
Code:
sed -i 's/.*SSLVerifyServer.*/SSLVerifyServer = 0/' /home/user/.config/syncevolution/*/peers/*/config.ini
Backup all your conctacts.

Open the Syncevolution-Frontend.
Open the webdav configuration, go to "edit service", configure the sync to Refresh-from-server (slowsync failed for me twice).
Upon success, you can configure it to "normal-sync".

Other combinations of syncevolution versions (pc - phone), might work, because each one fails at a different step.

I took the last pc version from here.
I also had to compile the 1.3.99 version for maemo. Until the repository is updated, you can download syncevolution from here.

Old Google carddav database url:
Code:
addressbook/database=https://google.com//m8/carddav/principals/__uids__/default/lists/default/
Doesn't work anymore. It has to be replaced by:
Code:
addressbook/database=https://google.com/carddav/v1/principals/[username]%40gmail.com/lists/default/
where [username] is the gmail user.

I sniffed it from IOS6.1, so it should last for a while

Hey, thanks for this tutorial - it's very appreciated.

However, I have one little note:

I tried to follow the tutorial on the N9 and it went fine - I skipped the step where you disable certificate verification and it synchronized all the contacts without any problems (I even didn't have to use the computer).

On the N900 it fails if I don't disable the verification (as expected).

So does N9 have a newer certificate for Google services than N900? Could it be imported?
