Hello, as a small collaboration I wanted to share how to integrate your Android with KDE in a rather interesting way with KDE Connect.
KDE Connect will allow us to do several interesting things such as transferring files via Wifi, answering calls, controlling the media player from the phone, copying to the clipboard, reading sms and more.
Items we will need:
- GNU / Linux distribution (any)
- KDE 4.11+
- Android 4.x phone
- Go
- Gcc and headers for Qt compilation and various other libraries.
- Compilation dog (or cat failing that)
First of all download the KDE Connect sources from the git repo
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kdeconnect-kde
As root user install the necessary development libraries, in Fedora Linux are:
yum install kde-runtime-devel.x86_64 kde-workspace-devel.x86_64 kde-baseapps-devel.x86_64 qjson-devel.x86_64
Go to the KDE connect folder
cd kdeconnect-kde
Start compilation:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ./
(While waiting to play with the compilation dog (or cat))
Once compiled install with:
make install
Load the module with qdbus (or restart):
qdbus org.kde.kded /kded loadModule kdeconnect
Restore the cache:
kbuildsycoca4 -noincremental
If they have Firewall allow the range of ports:
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone = public --add-port = 1714-1764 / tcp firewall-cmd --permanent --zone = public --add-port = 1714-1764 / udp
We add the plasmoid to the KDE panel like any other plasmoid.
Theoretically, the PC side is ready, now from our phone we download the KDE Connect app.
Once installed, if everything went well, we will see both in KDE and in Android the option to "link" both devices, we click on either of the two to link it.
A message like this should appear:
By accepting it, our devices would already be linked, we can configure what we want to integrate from the configuration of KDEConnect.
Very good, I installed it when it was beta and it cannot handle the music player (OpenSUSE 12.3 x64), but the rest of the functionalities worked perfectly.
I'll give it a second chance.
Greetings.
Let's see if I use the KDE 4.11 backport to test if it is possible to do KDE Connect with Android 2.3.7 (I already tried using Android 4.2.2 on my galaxy mini and it ended up worse than Pentium IV with Windows Vista).
funny the photo of the dog xD
LOL. And how is that famous compilation dog installed? It's in the repositories of all the distros I guess, right?
Very good tutorial! A good reason to recommend KDE to people new to Linux.
Fedora -> #yum install compilation-dog-f19
Debian —-> # apt-get install compilationdog-src
Greetings =)
Well, I get this error when trying to compile an idea?
Install the project…
- Install configuration: "RelWithDebInfo"
- Installing: /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/org.kde.kdeconnect.daemon.xml
CMake Error at kded / cmake_install.cmake: 44 (FILE):

I believe, and someone correct me if I'm not right. What is trying to copy something from your / home to / usr as this line says:
cannot copy file
"/Home/rayleigh/kdeconnect-kde/kded/org.kde.kdeconnect.daemon.xml" to
"/Usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/org.kde.kdeconnect.daemon.xml".
The truth is I don't know if it is advisable to do it under sudo. I've always hated that unless you installed over a system directory you NEVER had to use sudo for the make install command.
😀 in Chakra is in the CCR
$ccr -S kdeconnect-git
It is not on desktop, there is no need to install with ccr

Also with Jdownloader, we can download videos in any resolution (YouTube videos come in various resolutions), select the format or if we prefer we select only the audio in the format we choose, jdownloader allows you to choose which one to download or download all of them.

This comment was about downloading videos from youtube but the same captcha 7 - x equal to 2 always appears ... It never changes and never accepts 5 as an answer.
Hi. I get this error

By the way I had to do the make install with sudo ... I don't know why
Hey, it looks great !!, I'm going to try it to see if it works for me, thanks for the contribution!
Hi, sorry but I get an error, I don't know why I did it with my root account the first 4 steps, that is, I got to the compilation and I get the following error:

I hope you can guide me, I forgot I had installed fedora 20, if you need more information tell me, thanks
sudo apt-get install libqca2 libqca2-dev libqca2-plugin-ossl libqca2-plugin-gnupg
If you use Arch Linux and installed kdeconnect with pacman, you must modify the following line:
$ qdbus org.kde.kded / kded loadModule kdeconnect
by the following:
$ qdbus-qt4 org.kde.kded / kded loadModule kdeconnect
Because if not only a blinking cursor will appear and it will never go from there; Besides that if they are old gnomers and impatient like me, they will curse the time they decided to switch to KDE 🙂
Is there anything similar there that I can use in GNOME? Another question, does anyone know if the gnome hotspot should do this ???
Hello,
I am installing KDE Connect, so far I have a problem starting the build:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt: 10 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "ECM" (requested
version 0.0.9) with any of the following names:
ECMConfig.cmake
ecm-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "ECM" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "ECM_DIR"
to a directory containing one of the above files. If «ECM» provides a
separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.
- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/mref/kdeconnect-kde/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
I do not understand why or what the error is about, any help is welcome.
