Does this sync events to the default Mudita calendar? I installed it and my contacts are showing up great, but I don’t see any events in the default Mudita Calendar app.

No, it does not. You will need to use the built-in AOSP calendar (accessible through a side-loaded launcher) or download a calendar app like KashCal ( KashCal review by paxristi - #4 by el-lobo-loco ) or Etar ( Etar - OpenSource Calendar review by Leslie98 ).

On anothe note, I must admit I’ve quit using DAVx5 myself and have switched to using Homie ( Homie Family Organizer review by oyvind ), where my calendars are all now hosted and synced.

Hi!

Have you had any luck setting up Contacts to sync with Davx5?

I recently inquired about this because it seems neither the native nor third-party contacts apps can sync contacts created on the phone with Davx5. I would appreciate any feedback or advice you might offer. Thank you!

Syncs with my calendar of choice: KashCal. No issues. Granted, this is a “set it and forget it” type of app. Once you set up your calendar sync, there should be no reason to mess with the app. Because of this, I have it hidden from my launcher.
