Hey all. First time posting here. To get the technical data out of the way, I'm currently running an AT&T-flavored Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 (not sky) with the Cyanogenmod root @ ICS ver 4.0.4. The Cy mod is 9.1.0-i777.
Before I dive into the deep-end of developing a solution, I wanted to ensure a project doesn't already exist to address what I (IMHO) consider to be an issue - privacy and general Google distrust. Please don't take offense if you're a Google fanboy and please don't tell me Google is my only option.
While I realize I can choose to merge [or not] contacts and other data with Google, has someone GA'ed an open source (or otherwise) method to use one's own server or personally-controlled cloud-based option for synchronizing personal information? Perhaps somehow tying in an existing IMAP account (like a Horde API for lack of a better similarity explanation) with an rsync engine at the server for push/pull abilities?
I researched SyncML, but it seems that I would only be able to incorporate its code into a more top-level coded solution for alternative syncing methods.
Thanks for any/all feedback.
Regards.
