Neo FreeRunner uses Evolution data server (eds) for addressbook. However, the specific version used differs from what is probably used on your desktop (if you have Evolution installed), so you cannot just copy addressbook.db from your computer to Neo (bug 1119).
If you want to import your old Contacts to your Neo you could use this simple script:
Simple vcf import script (could the script be licensed under BSD or GPL?)
Al Johnson posted an extension to this script to handle vcf files with multiple contacts. There should not be blank lines between the vCards in the file. It should work as before if there's just one contact per file. Here's the modified bit:
for name in names: print name vcard = "" f=open(name,'r') for line in f: vcard = vcard + line if line[:9] == "END:VCARD": getAddressBook().addContact(vcard) vcard = ""
Next step is to export your old contacts as vcf. I know its possible with Nokia phones and i used a Winmobile->activesync->Outlook export plugin to get my Contacts from my old Cell. In LG phones the backup function to memory card creates one file with multiple VCards. Etc.
The script is for the 2007.2 Version (default install on Neo FreeRunner), not for Qtopia
You need Python to use this script so do a
opkg install python-dbus
to install python and the python dbus module
The script does a listdir and imports ALL files it found in that dir. (i'm a bad python programmer)
Thanks to Import_Sim_Contacts for the original Python Script.
