I know, it is dirty.
But having read all the threads* asking to separate cleanly SF form Android since so long, it’s time to find something by ourselves.
I tried such things like what you say but the app I used to test, Google Contacts, stayed frozen on the first screen.
I also tried to play with the SF db, change some flags…no way, it imports.
But I think I found a dirty workaround to not reveal my contacts to Android.
To check wether it was working, I installed Google Contacts and Whatsapp.
I Started Android support and couldn’t find my contacts in Google Contacts or Whatsapp neither.
Would someone try this so I can tag as [Dirty Solved]?
I noticed that contacts were synced during the starting phase of Android Support.
So I added a line into one of the starting scripts to change the owner of the contacts db to root.
And at the beginning of an end-starting script, I added to change it back to normal owner.
Works for me so long.
The remaining question is:
Does AD sync the contacts from time to time while it is on?
I should wait some days with AD on before to post but…you know, too exited.
How:
as root, edit /usr/sbin/start-aliendalvik.sh and at the beginning, insert:
chown root:root /home/defaultuser/.local/share/system/privileged/Contacts/qtcontacts-sqlite/contacts.db*
Then, edit /usr/sbin/alien-post-startup.sh and at the beginning, insert:
chown defaultuser:996 /home/defaultuser/.local/share/system/privileged/Contacts/qtcontacts-sqlite/contacts.db*
To test, one can add a new contact then start AD to check if it is seen in the Android contacts side.
‘*’ threads found after creating this one…well sorry
