now that talk, market, etc seem working...it seems calendar is the last hole to plug.
the 3rd party apps i have like pure calendar and touch calendar can't find anything.
is there already a fix for this or still a WIP?
Latest version of Auto-Nooter includes the calendar app, but it will not sync with the Google servers. I hope someones working on it, but then again, I hope those with the expertise are working on a full blown ROM for us to upgrade too.
There was some discussion about this awhile back.
Here is a post with files that work for me
(I have a fully functional calendar, albeit restricted to one gmail account, and I have CalWidget set up).

Others' mileage varies (not sure why).

I used this to get my calendar working a while ago (before auto-nooter, etc. were out) and calendar works fine for me. BTW - a belated thanks to feisty_noodle!

These steps got the program working, but my NC still doesn't sync the calendar with the cloud, only internally displayed appts. Is this the case for everyone else?

Calender syncs with all my calendars correctly and works fine. I followed the instructions step by step on nook devs. I wasn't even aware there was an issue.

Thanks for this info.. I will most likely re-root with the newest nooter and hopefully all will sync in one fell swoop.. I sideloaded the calendar apk's, so there might not be any info pushing to the syncd cloud correctly.

All of my calendars from my main gmail account sync fine, but I cannot access calendars on my other Gmail accounts.
Can you see those using the apps provided by the Autonooter-2.12.15?

If you have the accounts set up correctly and the apk's in place, you should have no problems syncing. ... Puzzling ...
Can you see your accounts in Google Books or Google Reader?
I'm having strange synching issues.
I grabbed both apks from the link above...the 2nd set.
placed them in system/app using Root explorer.
Rebooted. Now i have Calendar in the app tray.
I have one main Calendar and 2 Other Calendars (Wife's and Facebook events).
All linked under my gmail account.
In the calendar settings I do see all of these...however seeing that they are arranged alphabetically...my Wife's name goes on top...so hers are the only events that are being displayed.
So is it still ONLY ONE calendar can be displayed at a time? I do see all of them...and I can check/uncheck as I please to select... but would really like to view all...
Did i use the correct set of APKs?
and for some background.
I rooted with Supernooter.
Then got gapps using Auto_nook0.8 Autoconfig process.
Everything's working as desired except this calendar synching issue...and it'd be ideal not having to go through a newer Root process from scratch again...Thanks
Anyone have the calender apk out the the "auto-nooker"?

I am now also noticing strange behavior:
Initially, I rooted with nooter-2 and installed GApps/Market and Calendar separately (as was done at the time).
I am noticing that, although the initial sync picked up all the calendars from my login Gmail account, new events are synced only from Nook to Google server.
Importantly, I cannot sync new events to Nook from my Google calendars!
Also, and, at this point, a minor issue: my other Gmail accounts are not harvested for calendars (likely because there is no provision for this during "Add Account" dialog).
Can anyone please check on their Nooks whether new events get added to their calendars when created on devices other than the Nook?
If anyone succeeds: what was your root and Calendar installation methods?
Thanks.
Updates: the same is true for me with Autonooter-2.12.15 and Autonooter-2.12.18 (FW1.0.1).

I have this problem also. Initial sync worked fine, but I'm not seeing newly added events.
There doesn't seem to be a way to force a sync...
It seems that one peculiar difference with my phone's Calendar operation is that on the Nook the service called "Calendar Storage" (com.android.providers.calendar) is not running.
Anybody have any ideas? Does this possibly explain lack of ongoing synchronization?
I have dabbled a bit in different versions of Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk from different Roms, but had no luck. The apks from cm-5.0.8 are the only ones that work as well as we have seen.
There is a free app (Business Calendar Beta) that has an effective "Sync now" function.
This thing triggers the latent calendar sync with the Google servers.
... Unfortunately, it is just a "Band-Aid" for this lack-of-syncing problem, but ... nevertheless.

In a similar vein, I got "Syncer Widget" to work, so I just put the widget next to the calendar widget to remind me to sync every now and then.
Just don't click on the choice to go to Android accounts and sync, as that rebooted my NC.
I did a complete wipe (system and user data) then autonooter w/ 1.01 firmware; not issues w/ my calendar syncing, but I only have one google account.

Do you mean that when you add an event on your Nook, it appears on your Google Calendar page (on the computer) and vice versa: when you add something on your GCal, it appears on your Nook?
Yep, works both ways. I'm using the Launcher Pro calendar on my nook and it's syncing no problem with my google account calendar.

@Kokanee483, I see, you probably mean the Launcher Pro widget calendar.
It may have a force sync function which is cool and would solve the problem in a way symilar to Synker or Business Calendar Beta.
I am more interested in the fundamental problem of CalendarProvider service not running.
Would you mind checking whether it syncs both ways from the Calendar App itself?
Also, if you have NookColor Tools, would you check Running Services for the CalendarProvider service entry?
Thanks.
Tonight my Google calendar events in every calendar bar the default calendar stopped appearing in the phone. I can still see them in Google calendar via the web browser but they no longer appear in the calendar app. I've checked all the settings within calendar and the various Google calendars still appear there and are ticked to sync and show in the app but events from other calendars do not. Any ideas?
I had the same problem before. I fixed it by following the instructions from the quote below. This is from the google mobile help forum posted by BSteck. You should backup your default (on the phone) calendar before doing this.
Don't know if this is the best way to solve the problem, but this has worked for me.
On my HTC Phone (running Android 2.2), I went to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running > Calendar Storage. I then pushed "Clear Data" and then "Force Stop" (because I wanted it to reload).
The phone paused for a brief moment when returning to Home and then the calendar was syncing to my gmail calendars. I figure that as long as all your information is backed up at gcal, you should be fine. Good luck!

Thanks. That worked.
No problem =]
Dunno why this happens but at least this fixes the issue. Annoying when you don't have calendars showing up.
Hi
I have an HTC Heron with Android 2.1. I used to be able to sync and link the ocntacts on my phone with those who appear on Facebook. However, now I can't and it's very annoying. I have tried a few times to remove and reinstall the Android Facebook app but there is no syncing option within the app, although there should be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Look in (not in the app, but) the system settings -> accounts/ synchronization (or something similar)
Already tried that with no luck.
yeah you need to add facebook, just as above post Settings>Accounts & Sync> Add Account> Facebook
If still no joy, there is a way of doing it the phonebook/contacts. There should be a little button to the far right on the same line as the persons names is and you can sync them that way. AFIK their is no way to do multiple persons so its one at a time
fairly simple download and install facebook for android apk from google market, add a facebook account via Settings>Accounts & Sync> Add Account> Facebook, authenticate with your account details, select sync with existing contacts, download and install GO Contacts EX from google market.
This will offer to import facebook and sim accounts, click settings, and merge, select name - you can now merge all the duplicate contacts together
You can also add twitter accounts just add the twitter apk from the market , then follow the above steps
Thanks everyone for your help. I have tried removing and readding HTC Facebook Sense. No luck still. I then backed up my entire phone and did a factory reset - no change though. My Facebook widget did not return and I did still cannot get my Contacts to sync with the Facebook app downloaded from the Market, so I am in the same position as before.
All I want to do is to link some of my contacts who are on Facebook with their Facebook profile as I did before with no extra apps. Until very recently, I had the HTC Facebook widget, the Android Facebook widget and syncing contacts. Suddenly, my HTC Widget has mysteriously gone. I've written to HTC to see what they say.
had this problem recently, tried all the usual advice etc. only thing that worked was fcontactssync. you can uninstall it once you've linked everything.
hope this helps..
Thank you will try this next time. However, the day after I sent this message, weirdly my contacts all synced back again to Facebook! They hadn't done this for weeks! However, I did contact HTC and the Facebook for Android Developmer about my problem so maybe that haed something to do with this working again. Someone else I know haad the same problem which corrected on the same day as me!
I'm running Nova HD Plus RC6-15 on my LG O2X.
I noticed that my calendar isn't syncing. It's completely empty on my LG O2X.
So I checked the account & sync status and it had syncing errors on the browser and calendar.
Removed the account. Added it again. Sync started but still no data in my calendar. Gmail is working just fine.
When I go to Calendars in the app and click on the button to choose which calendars to sync it crashes (calendar is stopped).
The thing that strikes me is that under synchronization settings there are several syncs running: Browser, Contacts, Documents etc. All doing fine. The one that isn't working is the Calendar but the name is off. It's called com.android.calendar sync whereas the others have proper names.
Is my calendar app corrupted or something? Is there a way to fix that?
The other thing I noticed is that the mobile version of my google Calendar is empty as well. When I switch to the desktop version I can see the data.
Bit of a weird problem so all help and ideas are appreciated!
Solved my own problem by checken loads of other calendar sync topics.
Found this one somewhere, and it works!
To everyone with sync problems (calendar). when installing CM9 you have to first flash the rom then gapps AND BEFORE YOU REBOOT WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET. This will fix calendar sync.

Anybody have any suggestions? I have tried just about everything and I cannot for the life of me get it to sync properly. I go to accounts and add facebook. I check the sync contacts thing. I then go to contacts and try to link one and while the option for facebook is there it does not show any contacts. I have tried 3rd party syncing apps to no avail. I think it is a facebook issue/setting. Any ideas?
After tinkering around with some stuff I found out the issue is actually with the Facebook app. It seems they removed the feature to sync contacts. After some extensive research I found the latest version that they actually have the option in. The option itself is located by pressing the menu button then going to settings. It is the last option and has the name Sync Contacts. The last version that has this feature that I was able to find can be downloaded here.

I hope this helps somebody else.
