Website should have a clearer link to source code

I was looking for the source code of DAVdroid, but I had to resort to google (which got me to gitHUB, which in turn got me to gitLAB).

Places I’d look for first:
- somewhere near “android app on google play” on the start page
- somewhere near “Open Source GPLv3” in the feature list on the start page
- maybe in the FAQ (“Where can I get the code?” or “How do I contribute?” would be a nice addition)
- I didn’t search for it on the download page, but this would also be a good place, I think
I’m not saying all of these place should have a link to the source, but one of those places probably should.

The links are in some weird footer, that looks more like an ad. I completely ignored that part, especially since it’s sandwiched between a bunch of logos and some “Legal Disclosure” stuff.

@devvv4ever I am aware that I should disable any power saving things (if I could only ever be sure I didn’t skip over the relevant one - different story); with the question I just meant that, when I encounter sync issues on that device with this specific topic, any changes to those appkiller settings currently will now help as long as the issue described above is not solved. That is, I understand by now that the missing sync setting items is not just a minor layout issue but actually reflects a disabled sync.

@supdevs1-shifang Just to strongly support that proposal: CalDAV data being deleted on the mobile device is from my viewpoint to be strictly avoided. Having users lose calendar entries gives me hard times, where I have to defend the use of a self-hosted service instead of “just give up and hand it to google”. This is no fun. I suspect these conflicts happen typically when coming together with any sync issues which delay upload of changed items - be it due to android settings or connection just being offline for a moment. I am also unsure to what extend a client app or the backend server contributes to this. The more clients are accessing the same calendar, the higher the probability of conclicts. To me, DAVx5’s current way of handling this is a scalability limiter, and I am wondering how you can get this working in managed solutions. On the server side I have hooked a versioning system to track every change to the databases easily, but as far as I understand, I have no chance to prevent the data loss on the DAVx5 client side by similar means currently. If something like the proposed copy to a new conflict item is not realistic to have soon, I’d suggest to add a quick remedy first, by a) saving discarded content in some local file on the device storage to allow for manual recovery. b) unconditionally logging the event, and display it for example in the debug data page. If any such thing is already present and I just did not find out how to use, please give a hint here (and update the manual).

This is finally addressed by https://gitlab.com/bitfireAT/ical4android/-/commit/f2a7e34cfc296abc18587923b854945704df59ce. Since DAVx⁵ v3.1-beta6, generated VTIMEZONEs are minified
