OK can anyone help?
Sprite Backup: Backed up email and Personal databases only
Hard Reset (No Rom change, Stock T-Mobile UK rom)
Restored email and Personal databases
Icon shows 17 unread emails and 2 unread SMS - Excellent - exactly as expected.
SMS's all there and correct
Try to access emails - No account set up - try to create account - "This account already exists"
OK, Hard Reset again
Create email account first
Restore emails from Sprite
SMS - OK & Correct
Emails - Showing 17 - but when opening - no account available, Create new account - and of course - "This account already exists".
Happy to loose the emails, but I want the SMS's
I don't want to lose the ability to access emails from the Today screen icon - it still shows 17 unread (unavailable) emails.
Any ideas ?
Are you backing up and restoring "System Data" and "Personal Databases"?
Try this
Copy the exe in the attached zip to your ppc and run it from your phone. It lists all the accounts that can be restored. I use it to restore my sms messages from a sprite backup whenever I change roms...

thanks! worked for me
Excellent - Perfect fix.
Many Thanks !
Someone should sticky this. I searched all over for a fix, I recently did a fresh ROM flash to fix a problem with my Voice Command and this happened to my email, the program worked perfectly! thanks!
I just set up an exchange account on the default galaxy mail app. However, it would not let see my mail until I added a password. Now every time i wake the phone from sleep i have to put in a password. How do i get rid of this while still being able to access my mail.
Thanks
I'm not sure what you've exactly done but, why you don't deactivate or delete the exchange account and only use the normal account from the email app?
Or explain a bit more what's the prob except the password requestions...
whoever is running your exchange system has made a password mandatory.
You can't access email via activesync (exchange) without having that password.
hi rocketpaul,
you can use Insanity hacked email app..so you will not get password policy...
if you are will to use your custom ROM,move email.apk to system\app\ and flash. else with rooted account you can replace email application.

ive tried, it says apk not installed
Sorry my fold, I didn't read exactly
It's a system aplication which replace the original, so you've to replace it!
1) First download a file Manager (f.ex. Root Explorer)
2) Find the downloaded file under "internel sd"
3) Go back and Choose "System" and then "App"
4) Here you put it in and say yes for the confirm to replace
PS: If it doesn't allow to replace a file you've to change the system
-> at top off the app you can change from r/o to f/w
Hello,
Since upgrading to Gingerbread I've been dealing with lots of issues regarding calendar. I'm using few calendars in google (private, public holidays, etc.) but when I setup the calendar synchronization I can see only my private calendar and the phone default (My Calendar). I've been reading that a lot of people have this issue so I decided to dig a little bit deeper. Finally I found a solution!
If you have a problem with displaying multiple google calendars in your phone follow this procedure:
Prerequisities:
* rooted phone (you'll need to access system file)
* SQLite Editor
Steps:
1. Make a backup of calendar data (just in case you'll need it in the future).
2. Go to Settings->Application-Manage Apllications.
3. Find following apps and delete their data: Calendar, Calendar Storage, Calendar Synchronization (or similar name).
4. Reboot your phone (not required, but flushing memory is not a bad thing)
5. Go to Settings->Accounts and Synchronization and synchronize your google calendar.
6. Open /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db with SQLite Editor or any other program that can edit SQLite data.
In fact you may use this procedure (as SQL Lite Editor is not free):

I used aSQLiteManager, but had first to copy calendar.db to the sdcard, modify it and the copy it back to its original position (for copying I used Super Manager).

7. Open Calendars table.
8. If everything is OK you should see a list of google calendars you have. To enable missing calendars edit columns selected and sync_events. Put 1 to enable synchronization and display.
9. Save changes to the database.
10. Go to Settings->Accounts and Synchronization and synchronize your google calendar.
Now you should see list of all your google calendars and you can add events to different calendars.

Thank you for sharing, I am having the same problem.
I have opened
Code:
/dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calendar/calendar.db
using SQLite explorer but the file looks empty, it shows only "null".
Try to synchronize first your main google calendar. It will create all necessary tables.

I did that, it did synchronize the calendars, I could see the events. I rebooted, used the "Sync Now" function but still nothing. Maybe it's the app SQLite explorer which is not working. Unfortunately I could not find any other alternative, SQLite Editor is not free
I haven't had a single issue using cm7 or regular AOSP when it comes to the calendar. What issues are you having?

I have been using CM7 for some time and I confirm I did not have any problem with Calendars when using it.
The problem appears on the stock rom (both on JVP and JVQ) and is the same skibbi_pl reported on the first message of this post: some calendars do not sync. I have 12 calendars on my Google Account online, but only 3 show up in Settings / Calendars.
Ok, I solved it: the problem was the SQLite explorer app which doesn't work.
I used aSQLiteManager, but had first to copy calendar.db to the sdcard, modify it and the copy it back to its original position (for copying I used Super Manager).
After reboot all Calendars appeared correctly. Thanks again!
The final question is: why does this happen on the stock rom and on Cyanogen not?

Ask Samsung developers It seems like they forgot to add some UI controls for enabling additional calendars.
My sync-problem is that, after I flashed at the end of july to DarkyRom v10, the birthdays of my Google-contacts and National Holidays only appear for 1 year ahead (so till 25 july 2012).
aSQLiteManager says in the column selected and sync_events all 1.
What can be the problem?
x10 2.3.3 calendar issue
Hi, I didn't find any other threads, more similar to my problem. i have an x10 upgraded to gingerbread, since then I can't create any new events. I get an error message: "No Calendar. No calendars available." I searched google to find any references, with very few results. I cleared the calendar cache with no luck. I tried installing several calendar apps, which are supposed to be working separately from the stock app, but I got the same error message when trying to create a new event.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Jocks
Just did this today.
Been pulling my hair out over this calendar problem for the last few days. This method works perfectly on my SPH-D710.
I know this is an old thread but wanted to thank the OP for this solution. I ran into the calendars problem and this method worked perfectly. I used a program called SQLite Database Browser (Windows 7) to edit calendars.db, which I downloaded from sourceforge.net for free. Thank you!
Also, to share the db file I first had to change the permissions from rw- rw- --- to rwx rwx rwx. That allowed me to gmail the file to myself or upload to google drive. After editing it, I had to go through my external sdcard to copy it on there and then copy it over using ES file explore to the appropriate directory. I reset permissions to rw- rw- --- just to make sure (no idea if that was necessary).
I just flashed CyanogenMod 9 on my Touchpad and am loving it. I added one google account to it at first, which was great b/c it downloaded all the apps on my RAZR. But I want to remove the account because my daughter uses the Touchpad and I don't want her to have access to my gmail and talk, etc. (I am a newbie so I used the stable CyanogenMod, not the nightly.) I tried to go to remove account but it is grayed out and I can't figure out a work-around.
Any insights?
Thanks!

Try adding another account (make a new Gmail account). Once that's done, you should be able to remove the other one. Let her use this one as her email account, I'm sure she'll like that......
Or you could install an app protector and also switch off sync for that email so it doesn't receive notifications
The best app I have come across for this scenario is an app called switchme. It acts like how your computer would if you had two user account on there. Once you install it, you can create a new profile. Selecting it will reboot your device and start up as a clean ROM with no market apps and no google account linked to it. You can then add her google account to that profile (if she has one) and she can sync all her own stuff, not interfering with yours. You can then switch between profiles at will. Its an awesome app.
Here's a thread link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465661
thanks but....
Thanks. I did add another account but I cannot remove mine. Looks like cyanogen doesn't have that enabled (because I was able to do that on my other daughter's Xoom when it was running gingerbread.
I would prefer not creating a new profile completely because then I'd lose all the apps that I've installed, like I did on the Xoom. I was able to turn notifications to my gmail account off but don't want her (or my ex!) to have access to my gmail.
Thanks.
Unfortunately this is an android issue. You can't remove the initial account you use without wiping data and starting over.

hmm, did not know that. So if that is the case, the OP should reset the device, and start it with a different gmail account for his daughter. Then he can add his regular gmail account afterward, install the apps he wants, and then remove the account when complete.
Or maybe use titanium backup to backup his current apps now. do a factory reset, then setup with a new gmail account, install TB on the new account, and then restore the old apps.
I still say the app I linked to is a good thing to get for his situation. Its two accounts running side by side and each person can log into their own account with their own apps and wont have access to each others. You can even set a password just like on a computer.
1. Download "Root Explorer" from Android Market
2. Explore to /data/system/ and find this file : accounts.db
3. Delete that file (accounts.db)
4. Reboot your Android device.
5. Voilà…you can register another account.

Go to Settings-> Accounts -> choose your account. When the Sync options appear, click on the 3 small dots on top right corner. Select remove account.

Found this post via a google search. Two years down the road from the post- this worked for me. I used TWRP and found
the file in something like /data/system/users/0 or something similar (YMMV). But it worked for me.
-> Edit: zip for mamual installation in second post, recovery flashable zip in third post.
For email purposes, I mainly use Gmail for private mails and Email for the Exchange connection I have to my employers Exchange server. I hate it how the Sony provided email client looks totally different to the Gmail client and I would like to replace the first. On AOSP/CM based firmwares, the email client looks more or less the same as Gmail, at least since Jelly Bean.
My experiements in replacing the Sony Email client with an AOSP/CM client failed so far, has anyone an AOSP/CM email app which works on stock FW? Thanks.
Vanilla Android ICS 4.0.4 Email.apk and Exchange.apk with disabled Exchange Security Policy Enforcement for manual replacement (no flashable zip yet).
Start by removing your existing mail and exchange accounts. Then remove SEMCEmail.apk (important!) and Exchange.apk from /system/app before you put the two files in the zip archive in either /system/app or /data/app. Set permissions to rw-r-r (644), if pasted in system set owner and group to root:root, if pasted in data set owner and group to system:system. Reboot required.
Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?oq764iq82vkrl4b
Note: as you mess with system files, obviously root access is a must...
Note 2: if you dont remove SEMCEmail.apk it will override the vanilla apk, the apk must be removed before you go to work.
And here we go, the same package as a flashable zip. Flash from recovery.
As with all flashable stuff on xda, punch yourself in the face if you derp up your device by doing stuff not intended by the manufacturer.

Scrap that for tonight, zip doesnt install, typo at my end probably. I'll check the installer script tomorrow on the pc its kinda late now for on screen keyboards at 3:30am...
Note: this is made of ICS Android 4.0.x components and it will remove SemcEmail.apk and Exchange.apk and replace it with the vanilla ICS Email.apk looking similar to the Gmail app plus a patched Exchange.apk which doesnt honour the Exchange servers security policy, forcing a pin and password lock on you and forced timeout after 5 seconds and a subsequent screenlock etc.
Have fun.
Got some screenshots?
Looks interesting
Can this be used on latest T fw. 223?
