Synch a phone to Linux PC without Google Is there a way to synch the SMS/Calendar/Contacts/what not (I am not talking about files, and pictures, etc.) to a Linux (Ubuntu) PC? The quirk is to bypass Google in the process.So I would envision an App running on the phone sending all data to the PC in, say CSV or something like that... Can you advise?
There are multiple ways to achieve this, at least for calendars and contacts:


On Windows: Check out MyPhoneExplorer. Offers a lot of additional features like Backup Assistant, file browser, managing calls – and also syncs SMS.
Using a CalDAV/CardDAV server of your choice, such as Baïkal or ownCloud. I use the latter – so for details, take a look at my article Android without Google 2: ownCloud. This would be independent of the OS on your computer, but you will need a web server. Big advantage: You can access your data from anywhere you've got a web browser working. And with ownCloud this also can include your documents, photo galleries, and more.
