Hi , I hope someone will be able to help me:
I have a rooted G1 which runs Cyanogen 4.0.2 ROM, before this one 4.0.1.
Everything went fine until yesterday or the day before, when I noticed my calendar wasn't up to date anymore. I connected the G1 to my pc and started 'adb logcat', this is what is logged when trying to sync the calendar:
(note that I have replaced my real email with [email protected] for privacy reasons)
Code:
D/SyncManager( 146): failed sync operation authority: calendar account: [email protected] extr
delay: 0 key: {authority: calendar account: [email protected] extras: [force=true ]} rowId: 1
After some searching I found this problem mentioned before but no concrete solution to this...
I've tried clearing the calendar cache as described here to no avail.
I also tried a complete system wipe but the same problem persisted.
To make sure that it wasn't something at the google server I fired up my HTC magic which is still running stock software, and it synced fine right away.
So this definitely has to do something with my G1, only if anyone could point me in the right direction...
BTW:
Gmail and contacts sync goes just fine!
Thnx in advance!
Cyanogen calendar sync...
Hi all,
Exact same problem here, HTC Magic. I am new to the hacking, rooting, cracking in the android world but installing Cyanogen 4.0.2 was very easy with recovery flasher. ( http://gizmodo.com/5341915/android-hacking-for-the-masses)
I can not speak for any other versions but this version is great except for the sync of Google calendar. This also explained why my battery did not last for a day while is was doing nothing much. Calendar kept syncing without result but was trying all the time.
I hope that Cyanogen can fix this and if he can not or will not that's ok with me. I a happy that there are people who can make things better than they originally were. Good job! However calendar is important to me so perhaps i will switch to another ROM.
@bunster:
Are getting the same error when start 'adb logcat'?
Thanks for mentioning the battery life part, mine had bad battery live to but I failed to make the link to the sync problem, I was on the verge of replacing my battery LOL!
Just upgrade to 4.0.3.1 this morning, problem persisted
@Bunster: Are you using google hosted apps or a regular gmail account?
Because a colleague of mine also has Cyanogen 4.0.2 running on his G1, and his calendar syncs fine, the only difference is that he's using a regular gmail account while I'm using hosted apps account...
I have the same problem.
Previously with JF 1.5 the same calendar of my google account was syncing just fine.
Hope there is a solution soon..

Updated to 4.0.4, problem not gone...
I found something else:
When looking at the logcat output there's a URL in there which points to one of my calendars (there are URL's for each of my calendars - 5 in total). And when I try to enter this URL into my browser, it tells me that '[email protected]' doesn't have the necessary rights to view that calendar.
However I am the admin of my domain so I should be able to view all my calendars...

Yeah, nothing good however...
Check this link.
It's an issue that has been file on the GoogleCode page for CyanogenMod ROM.
If look at Steve's (=Cyanogen) post you'll see what i mean:
4.0.4 won't be updated. Any calendar/sync related issues for the next release should
be reported as an Android (Google) bug.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So he's basically saying it's not his fault but a Calendar bug and we have to take it up with Google.
Google off course won't do sh*t about this since it works perfectly on stock ROMs and even other custom ROMs.
As a software developer/tester I can understand that this bug is situated in the Calendar app itself, and since Cyanogen received the C&D letter from Goog he can't/does not want to modify and/or distribute this app.
However, since this only occurs on his ROM, it must be something he did that triggers this bug. So what I'd like to see from Cyanogen, isn't a fix in the calendar app, but rather a workaround in his ROM...
I've read that deleting all recurring events will 'fix' the problem, however that's not an option for me since I use a seperate calendar to store all birthday dates for friends and family in (birthdays being off course yearly recurring events, under normal conditions )
I hope Cyanogen reads this and will provide a fix somehow.
As I said i'm a software developer and I know it's f*ucking frustrating if you have to deal with other people's mess, but I think it's clear we shouldn't expect a fix from Google on this one...
so let's hope only in a cyanogen work... it seems to be the only solution for continue to use this fantastic rom with the calendar sync...
4.2.4
Am I the only one who still has this problem??

How its possible that some ppl can sync and some not?
Is there any other application which sync the calendar?
Hi everybody
MY GF has an SGS, and recently she added a new calendar to her gmail. However, it wouldn't sync with her phone. All the other calendars were fine, but this new one would never even appear in her calendar options.
We've had a look at lots of forums, but all the solutions we tried didn't work.
Recently, we cleared the calendar data from her phone, but now none of the calendars will sync: they don't even appear in the stock calendar app.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this please? We thought about deleting her gmail account form her phone and setting it up again, but of course, it won't let us.
I was thinking of setting up a random gmail account...adding that to her phone, deleting her old gmail, and then adding it again. Does anyone think this will work?
Many thanks for advice you may give me
If you are on stock try seeing if you can run the set up apk, or some such similarly named app worth a try

Managed to add a random gmail account, but still it won't let me remove the original one, due to "Some applications still using it"
Does anyone know where I can find the setup apk? I had a browse but I can't find it ...

I'm using Koush's CM9 Alpha 12 ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228 with the Franco kernel, and I'm saddened that it's sorely missing one big feature that i'm used to in the NSCollab ROM i came from. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959282)
In the stock Android 2.3.3 that came with the phone, if the Facebook app was installed, it could sync contacts over from your account, including phone numbers, emails, and pictures. The OTA 2.3.4 removed that function, as Google had deemed it as a violation of their TOS.
NSCollab (based off of CM7), which i'd used since 2.3.5, enabled that function somewhere in the system files, and it was fully usable, no questions asked. The CM9 build i'm using, however, lacks that feature.
I've compared both of their build.prop files and don't see any differences that would stand out, and I'm at an impasse here. I'm almost determined to find the setting in the CM7 ROM that allows Facebook syncing on this device and be able to use it in CM9. I'm not sure i want to comb every system file, though. Any assistance?
The reason it works in custom ROMs is because they patch it to work. It's not a build.prop issue I do not believe. It is a bit deeper than that. Hopefully someone can she some light to get it working. It's a feature I use as well.
But that's the explanation "why" it does not work.. because it's not supposed to by design lol.
by no means do I have an answer but, syncmypix in the market is a decent alternative for the tome being.

I'd determined that long ago, but i'm almost certain there's a flag somewhere in the system files. My cousin has an HTC Thunderbolt (horrible phone on the stock ROM) running the stock ROM, Gingerbread 2.3.5, and it's enabled on it. I know that Google specifically disabled it on their flagship phones, and i want to know how they did it and how to reverse it.

I have tried Syncmypix, Friendcaster, and another one that tries to re-enable native syncing, but none of them work near as well as native syncing.
In GB it was in system\app\ContactsProvider.apk , one line need to be added which whitelists com.facebook.katana. Maybe it's the same in ICS.
[edit]
There, I looked it up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978470
Here you can find the official statement from Google about Facebook sync:
http://www.androidguys.com/2011/02/23/google-drops-facebook-sync-nexus/
Anyway you can sync your contacts using Friendcaster and you can update your contact pics using syncmypix

I'd considered that, even set up a decompiling environment, but never got around to trying it. Just tried it, and found out that comparing the two ContactsProvider.apk files (from CM7 and CM9), that ICS does not use the arrays.xml that Gingerbread did. Adding it in, recompiling it, and signing it results in FC's and wiping out your contacts storage. Thank god for Titanium backup.
Edit: Derp, found out system apps aren't supposed to be signed. Trying again.

I well know what Google did, and i'm very disappointed in them. And i'd rather not use third-party apps if we can enable native syncing at the system level.
Pushing the unsigned apk doesn't cause FC issues, but it still doesn't sync. The Facebook app cuts off at "Other Settings". Does anyone want to test out the apk for me, see if they get the same results?
The APIs are different in ICS and doing the white list trick may not work. Check out the smali folder because there could be stuff that needs to be changed in there too...

I've already tried this. You'll be able to get the account to sync in Accounts, but the new contacts app is substantially different from the Gingerbread one... Like ^ says, I think a few smali edits have to be made to include this properly.

I'm combing the smali folder as we speak, but nothing stands out as a definitive match
The one problem about ics, you're working to fix. Thanks man! I hope you find your answer!
Haven't found it yet, though. I've been trying to get into contact with koush, see if he's had any insight.
MoDaCo got it working on the Galaxy Nexus. If anyone has the galaxy yet, you could upload his rom and them comb through the /system and see what has been changed. we could then possibly implement it for the Galaxy S as well.

Awesome, good looking out. Downloading it now, i'll be combing the files right away. You don't need to have the actual phone to peek at the system files
But unfortunately, it seems that it is a premium feature.

You can download it. I did earlier. Look at the first post of the thread its there.
The premium stuff is like to cook your own. I'm sure the standard one available in the first post has it implemented.

Hey
I recently flashed my phone to CM10 ( the latest version from 23 nov. )
everything seem to work except for my contacts
It wont display any contacts on my phone nor am i able to log in on google account(?) so i can sync with my mobile. ( I saved 90% of my contacts on my gmail.com account )
Does anyone know how to get my contacts back and sync with google?
Oh, forgot to ask about this. ive downloaded play store because it wasnt pre-installed but apparently I cant open it. everytime when i click on the app it closes immediately
BTW: If i go back to other ICS roms i do get all my contacts even the one stored on my simcard.

Hey XDA,
I've been testing to get the right combination but have found the last working versions of the AOSP E-mail Client w/ Exchange Support.
I haven't made any modifications to it, this is stock from APKMirror, just wanted everyone to have it as it's a great e-mail client for those wanting to separate work from personal on their devices.
It's too bad Big G phased this out, as I am still a sucker for the AOSP look and feel.
Enjoy!
Works great... Thanks! Using it on my Sprint S4 with a GPE rom.
Does the push feature work correctly? I used the one that Gary has put out and push didn't work. I had to set up my email to auto check every 5 minutes. If I tried to use push, I just never got notifications. He said it didn't work right and was not interested in fixing it.
Thanks though, will check this out!
Also can I assume this can not be installed, you have to manually put the APK's in their folders and set permissions?
---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------
OK these are not working for me. I just get a force closed on the email app.
Are there any special instructions? Using this on Android L 5.1
Use nine exchange app.. Best exchange email client out there imo
the old aosp email is kinda outdated..no material design..i use cloudmagic
Disabling the new gmail exchange got it going for me.
working great for me

Working great on a Samsung LTE Core Prime. The built-in version just admitted a short signature. Thank you!
No problems installing, and works just fine, except it FC in the background around once per day, at which point it won't push new email until manually relaunched. Anyone find a workaround for this?
I suspect that in Android 6.0+, the Email and/or Exchange Services apps need to be exempted from Doze ("battery optimization") or manually granted System Permissions, but haven't experimented yet.
Btw, Detailed directions: http://www.johnwillis.com/2015/10/nexus-5x-restore-pre-android-60-mail.html
Although I did not experience any of the Package Installer weirdness that John describes.

Works perfect on CM12.1 on my Galaxy S4 Mini.
Not sure why CM decided to stop releasing with AOSP (actually it's quite obvious $$boxer$$). So thanks for wrapping this up. I can now keep my work email/calendar separate from Gmail again.

Anyone has any idea about the stock Email app from CM13 custom roms? I tried it and it starts alright, but when I add my hotmail account it doesn't sync at all; all I get is just one email from Outlook that states to use their app for email. Maybe they disabled features in newer Exchange versions...
