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.
Has anyone tried syncing with their Google Apps account?
I get all my contacts and email (Gmaill app) properly, however, I only get the "main" / default calendar in my Calendar app. Normal Google.com (xxx at gmail dot com, accessed through calendar.google.com) calendars work fine.
For example in my Google.com account, I have:
- Friends
- Gym
- Work
All these appear (in addition to the default xxx at gmail dot com calendar) in my Calendar app under Settings->Calendars and are labelled w/ xxx at gmail dot com. However, in my Google apps account (xxx at mydomain dot com, accessed through calendar dot mydomain dot com) I have:
- Work
- Thesis
- Other Academics
I don't have any of these listed in the Calendar app, even after syncing countless times. I only have one calendar from the domain: the default xxx at mydomain dot com.
Syncing with this calendar works fine and it sends updates both ways, however I can't see my other calendars being listed.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
Actually I also have the same problem. It seems like google confuses between the personal google account and the google apps user account. For example. I cant access my subscriptions using gogle reader because all my rss subscriptions are in my personal google account and i dont know how to switcj between the two.
When I logged into the domain admin for my Google Apps account, it seems Google is opening up Google Apps accounts for access to most of the rest of their services, however I didn't see Android in there.
I wanted to try out whether setting up my first account (factory reset, etc) using the Google Apps account would fix it but I didn't want to wipe out everything I have right now.
Bump.
Anyone?
I finally had the chance to try out and set up the Google Apps account as my primary account since I did a full wipe + factory reset + flash on my tab today, to no avail.
Still a Google Apps account only shows 1 calendar.
Strange... I've set up my private and apps accounts and everything works great for me...
My private gmail account has several calendars, as does the apps account, and everything works fine, I can see all the events from all the chosen calendars...
I used the Accounts & sync settings to setup the accounts.
Well that's weird, maybe there's something wrong with my Google Apps configuration, I'll check with another account. But then again I've tried setting all the possible sharing and privacy settings appropriately just to test but nay.
I also used the Accounts and Sync settings to set up the account.
Okay, I can confirm there is something wrong with my Galaxy Tab built-in Calendar App.
For the sake of testing I downloaded several different Calendar apps from the Market and all of them can see the Calendars I have from my Google Apps account.
There was this app called Business Calendar that showed me the actual calendar IDs of each calendar and I can confirm they match the ones listed in my Google Apps account.
The moment I check it and add it to the list of Calendars displayed by Business Calendar, and I switch to the Calendar app that came on the Tab, the Calendars were listed in Menu->Settings->Calendars and turning them on worked properly.
I'm guessing there's something wrong with the built-in Calendar app? Maybe some issue with Calendar Storage or something. Everything works now but it sucks that I have to launch Business Calendar, sync, and enable it from there before seeing it in the built-in Calendar app.
Again, anyone have this issue?
I have the exact same problem. I did as you did, installed Business Calendars and it showed my 3 Google calendars all OK. They then showed up in the default calendar program. Canadian tab bought in Calgary.
had a similar problem with several of my google calendars showing up as being synced but no data from the calendar was being synced. I tried messing with pushing the calendar storage from my vibrant to my tab and it got stuck in a force close loop. I also tried to delete all the calendar entries which subsequently deleted all my future google calendar entires. After reimporting from a backup I made before I deleted it showed up on my tab.
Yeah, me 2, and some one suggested to add these two services, which are
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and,
GoogleServicesFramework
has anyone tried this? Does this work?

Hi,
If I add an entry on my HD7 it doesn't appear in my Google calendar. I manually sync as well as use the timed function but entries still won't go from the phone to Google calendar.
Whereas if I delete an entry on my phone, it gets deleted immediately from my Google calendar.
Has anyone got an idea how to get entries entered on the phone to appear in Google calendar?
Note: Windows Live is a dead loss with both contacts and calendar so Google might be my last chance of syncing Outlook & phone.
Cheers...

Does that mean you can add, edit and delete entries without problems with your Windows Phone to Google Calendar?
I have been doing that since day one and so far it has always worked like a charm.
Check your settings going to Settings\email & accounts\Google and make sure you are synchronizing the Calendar.
What I really find odd is the fact that the entries are deleted but not added...
Anyway, I add and delete things to the calendar in my HTC HD7 and they reflect to Google as soon as I sync and vice versa. It works!
As a foonote, MS calendar also works flawlessly.

Thanks for you post... whilst I find MS Calendar works fine (if starting from scratch), it's the fact that existing entries in Outlook wont's sync. I've found that custom categories, complex repeat reminder and attached pictures do not sync correctly. As with MS Contacts, the photos attached to each contact doesn't sync. Where as with Google Contacts and Calendar do.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way a fan of Google, I want to have my phone sync with my PC like I have for the past umpteen years; I don't want my private data uploaded 'somewhere in the cloud' possibly in another country with different privacy laws and complete strangers having access to it. As my MS Calendar has crashed completely now after trying to import from Google Calendar, the reliability is far from what they can expect people to use as a 'standard'.
I'll try creating a gash Google calendar from scratch and see if that can have entries added from my phone.
Thanks again...

It seems that my new google mail account works fine with outlook being sync'd using companionlink 4. The only reason I can think my older gmail account didn't work correctly is that I tried to link it to my ms live account. The ms live account is still dead and I see no way of getting it going, but my phone is now registered under it and apps downloaded against it... hence I'm stuck with it. Major screw-up by Microsoft imho... let's hope they do the right thing with the next update.
Alternatively... HTC provide their own FREE outlook sync'ing software for Android... why not Windows Phone?
Has anyone been able to add their facebook account by going to settings-accounts-facebook?
I installed the facebook app off the market, but when i went under settings it didn't give me the option to sync friends to contacts like it did on my droid.
So went to accounts, add facebook, entered my email, and password, but it wouldn't sign in
Kept giving me a server error, then about every third time it gives an error that says that something is wrong with the device clock and to contact the administrator.
Tried uninstalling the app to see if it was causing problems, but no luck. Anyone been able to sync facebook friends with contacts (its
mainly to get contact pics off facebook)
Thanks
Edit: Finally got it to work. Only took over a week
When you install Facebook, under the "My Accounts" app, you'll see two entries for Facebook. One is actually for your Facebook app, and one is for Moto's "Social Networking" app. Using the Moto-branded version may offer you additional features.
I've noticed a couple places where you get shafted by Moto software for not using their built-ins. Like the Car Dock front page only links to the Moto Music Player... which has no music because I stream from Google Music.
I believe since OS 2.3 (Gingerbread), the facebook sync with accounts option has been removed from Android.
Easy method, download (free) SyncMyPix from the Market, it will sync facebook pics with matching accounts on your phone into your actual Google Contacts.
I run it once and don't let it do it automatically, just run it whenever I add new contacts.
The sync facebook accounts worked fine on my original droid, its running cyangenmod 7 2.3.3. Thats why it was driving me nuts, could just set the sync settings from the facebook app. Figured it was some moto thing, but didn't know if it was specific to my phone or not.
Thanks

Thanks for the SyncMyPix suggestion!
Looks like the facebook app has removed the settings for syncing contacts. Tried using the Verizon "MyAccounts" app but definitely a little screwy.
fb contacts synced with no problems for me. I used the "social networking" app in the app drawer and entered in my fb info. contacts now have either gmail or fb photo as their contact photo.
I used one of the two in the My Accounts app, contacts synced just fine.
I don't love that when you sync with face book your gallery becomes less about you, and turns into a fb gallery...wish you could turn only that feature off...

When I got the HTC One the other day, I was using Google Calendar as the default calendar so I thought once I synced the calendar on the HTC One with the Google calendar I would have everything but that doesn't seem to be the case. Also have Pocket Informant calendar installed and that has the same problem. Events for last month and this month and some recurring birthdays are there and also the current month but nothing else. Is there a way to get previous events reloaded in? The events are the main thing. They are all on the Google calendar when I look at the web page.
Tried installing Calengoo, another calendar program, and told it to sync to Google calendar and it syncs everything going back several years. But in the native calendar that comes with the HTC One and PI I only get the current month and recurring dates like birthdays.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling PI. Oddly enough when I uninstalled it the phone rebooted. When I reinstalled it everything was gone. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
I notice too that HTC Sync is turned off and there's no option to turn it on again. Don't know if this is related.
______________
settings>account>gmail account> check if calendar is checked
Yes, it's checked. This may be a tough one.
mhhh then try to remove that account and re-add it
You may have meant remove the mail account. There's no calendar account. Since HTC Sync seemed to be messed up, I removed that, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to add it back. Now it's gone and there's no account add under accounts and sync. Can't find it in the play store either.
