Hi,
I wonder if someone knows of an application to edit the address book, or phone book, whatever, in an android phone, in the computer, with Linux.
Not only the google address book that is associated with the phone, but
the complete thing. If the phone makes a difference, it is a Moto-X play. And if there are no suitable apps in Linux, maybe a Windows one. I have to tidy up the list, and editing in the phone itself I find cumbersome.
I googled, but what I find seems to be export to csv, edit, import again. Not exactly what I would like to do...
OK, I have to admit right off the top here that for addresses I use only the Google address book option. You sold my soul to Google.
If all of your phone book entries are Google entries, and none are stored ONLY in the phone's local address book, then you can edit them at HTTPS://contacts.Google.com and any changes are synced with all your devices.
Meant to add that I've satisfied my self that Google does no Evil mining of address book entries as far as I can tell. Unlike facebook, which will set up shadow profiles of any one you add to your facebook contacts list, and send them invitations to join facebook. LinkedIn does the same. Therefore, the utility of Google contacts syncing outweighs the negatives. And if you don't want to edit your contacts on the above mentioned website you can use the thunderbird plugin, or the KDE address plugin to sync without Google contacts. But I've found both of those are flakey and they mess up the address book on Google, so I set them to sync one way only, or not as all. It's just easier to maintain contacts using the browser. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
