Import Vcf Contacts

Views

Personal tools

If you want to import your old Contacts to your Neo you could use this simple script:

simple vcf import script

This Script is for the 7007.2 Version (default install on Neo FreeRunner) not for Qtopia

You need python to use this script do a

opkg install python-dbus

to install python and the python dbus module

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.

The script does a listdir and imports ALL files it found in that dir. (i'm a bad python programmer)

so this is what i have done.

• copied all vcf files to a separate directory on my freerunner
• copied the ac script to the parent directory also on my freerunner
• go to the terminal on the freerunner and "typed" in the vcf directory: "python ../ac" (root@om-gta02:~/vcf# python ../ac)
• done :D

Troubleshooting:

• make sure you have python and python-dbus installed
• make sure you have no illegal chars (utf) in the filename and inside the vcf files. (I had problems with Ü,Ä etc)
• only vcf files should be in you current directory so do a ../ac.
• You must call the script in the OM terminal not via Bluetooth or USB. If you do so a dbus error occur

Thanks to Import_Sim_Contacts for the original Python Script.
