Ive been looking in the threads for a while and find hints and clues, but cannot get a definitive solution to my problem:
Im using CRISPhero.zip rom and love its speed, but miss some google apps like calendar and a few unincluded HTC hero widgets like picture album and calendar.
So I thought Id try at first just to add the calendar stuff:
I have tried pushing Calendar.apk, CalendarProvider.apk, htccalendarwidgets.apk (as well as all their .odex files) to /data/app_s
With the .odex files in the directory, i get a boot loop. Without the odex files, the phone runs fine but no apps or widgets have been added. WHAT AM I MISSING HERE? How do I install these widgets?
a little more info
I should also add that I tried opening each of these .apks in the app manager but simply got a message saying they could not be installed on this device. This IS a HERO rom, so that shouldnt be the issue, I dont think.
sorry, but you posted in the wrong section
Id like to know this as well....but like the post above it is the wrong section to post this.
ok
What section should it be posted in?
get root explorer and place the apks in the correct directory thats the easiest way....but if the apk has an odex with it the apk is no good try dloading another rom & taking the apk from their
being a question...surely it makes sense that it should be asked in the QUESTIONS and answers section
dont start a new thread there, il request this one gets moved
will widgets show up then?

So I'm assuming the appropriate directory for hero widgets /data/app_s, right?
Is there another step after that, like installing with app manager or should the automatically show up on next boot?
Try a newer hero, they are unodexed. Most come with what your looking for anyways.
Some success, but...
I've had some success pushing an UNOBEXEDCalendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk to /data/app_s. I got them from the KiNgxKxKlair-Hero-Eclair-v1.0.zip Rom. Now the apps are listed in the app menu and work properly!
***BUT*** Gcal won't sync. Under the data sync settings, I am unable to make gCal sync. Contacts and Gmail sync just fine, but even with the calendar box checked, Calendar will not sync.
I suspect this is due to a setting with the ROM (which originally did not have calendar installed), but I have no idea where to adjust this setting.
Any suggestions?

Well, seeing as your pushing eclair apps into what I think is a cupcake build.... I'll let you finish that statement
I assumed the issue isn't with the apps themselves, as they are functioning fine (and I believe the rom is not a TRUE eclair rom, anyway--just bits & pieces). I think the problem is that since the original rom did not include calendar apps, that the calendar sync function has been disabled. I want to re-enable it.
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).
hi there,
is it possible to replace some system apps on a samsung s3 lte rom with google stock apps?
apps which i would replace:
- email
- gmail
- calendar
- contacts
- sms/mms
- phone
i can remember some times ago, there was a theard for a normal s3 without lte to replace that apps, but i cant find it again. in the past it was not possible to replace contacts and phone app, maybe now it is, but i would be very happy to replace the e-mail, calendar and sms/mms app again. so if this is possible, could someone from you guys provide the neccessary apk files?
i found this theard - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964726&highlight=aroma - but im missing email, sms/mms, contacts and phone apk files.
many many thanks!

The lengthy process to get drive working for me..
USAN03 said:
Okay so as far as drive is concerned.. Youll need to delete documentsUI apk and the drive apk. Also you need to place the correct .so files into system/libs. You need to locate the lib files first and type .bak afterwards. Then the lib file that you download below needs to be placed into the folder. I recommend deleting orginal apks, restarting phone, then do the .bak for libs, and then copy over the lib files to the system/lib and restart phone. Extract the drive lib zip, open folder, then copy over the libs to system/libs. When you copy over verify that the .so is the same exact size as they were downloaded. They should not be 0.00. Then change permissions to -rw-r--r-- And restart phone.
** Here is a screen record to show you lib files...

Youre right about the gmail app. As far as the cal apk i had to uninstall the google app and cal storage apk then restart the phone.
Is this for only this phone or any android phone ? Also how can I uninstall the system apps like the calendar and others
Your phone has to be rooted in order to delete system apps and as far as other phones I don't see why it wouldn't work. I believe the only requirement is android 4.4.4
In messenger if I press attach icon it fc.

I followed the same steps (deleted google calendar and calendar storage, rebooted and installed the new app. I'm still getting force closes...

As far as calendar I can't get it to work at all. The gmail I do have working properly now. With the only step done was taking off my material theme.

Hey guys,
I installed the calendar from Lilipop 5.0 and it is giving me a heck of a lot of issues.
The way that I installed was:
Note that I did not have Google Calendar installed before, only the Samsung Calendar.
1. Convert to user app: Calender 4.4.4, Calendar 1.0, Calendar 1.0 (yes I have 2 of them), and Google Calendar Sync
2. Backup / Verify / Uninstall all 4 items
3. Put the new calendar apk file in System/Priv-Apps and rebooted the phone
It installed upon boot up but worked poorly.
I now want to go back to the old calendar, so I
1. Converted to user app: Google Calendar 5.0
2. Backup / Verify / Uninstall
3. Reboot
4. Go to Play Store and download current available Google Calendar
After installation, it crashes on me and does not work. I restored Google Calendar Sync which I removed before, but still not working.
Can anyone please assist with this.
I didnt install this, but when you put the new .apk into place, did you make sure the permissions were set the same way the old file was?
its sounds like that might be your problem...

I think I just set it to 766. All 3 options check for the first column, and the other two columns are blank.
I just checked my System/Apps folder and System/Priv-Apps and I do not see Google Calendar Sync, not sure why considering it appears in TB.

look in the folder(s) where you replaced files, and make sure the files you put in there have the same exact permissions as the other ones that are in there..if you change anything , save then reboot and see if that helps.
if not, I am not sure what else it could be..sorry..

I think this is your problem. that GoogleCalendarSyncAdaptor.apk needs to be there. On my phone its in /system/app.
also, did you by chance change your build.prop at all?
