Go to Settings.

Go to Accounts and Sync.

Click your Gmail account (don't click the sync icon).

Click Sync Calendar.

Close Settings.

Launch the Calendar app.

Create a new appointment.

Success.

Comments:

I've ran into this issue a lot in the past across several ROMs. I've done a search on here and Google with no luck. After coming with this resolution, I realized that I caused this headache myself. I don't like to download my Gmail on my phone and prefer using the browser to check messages. I only linked my Google account to my phone in order to install apps from the market. I have auto-sync disabled because I want to extend my battery life (data transfer running in the background) and there wasn't a need for me to sync with other Google related services. Looking back, the times that I didn't run into this was when I rushed and didn't disable auto-sync during the initial account setup wizard (after flashing a ROM). I decided to post this in order to contribute to the community, but you (moderators) can lock or delete this post if it's a duplicate. My apologies, but I hope other people find this useful. Thank you.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobblack:
So I'm trying to update my rooted 3.0.1 euro 3G xoom to the 3.2 Hammerhead ROM, and here's something that is really confusing me:

I've installed ROM Manager 4.3.3.0 from the Market. Then I downloaded and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.0 R4c via this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979

So far so good: I can boot to recovery and it looks that everything is working nicely... with the exception of the following:

1) Even though I have CWM installed, ROM Manager won't recognize it. It keeps asking to install it. I haven't done that though because I don't want to overwrite the one I flashed... how can I get ROM Manager to recognize CWM? Or, if I install a different CWM version through the ROM Manager interface, will that overwrite the existing install, or even break something?

2) I can't find Nandroid in the recovery menu of 3.2.0.0 R4c. It says that it should be there in the Wiki (http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_backup_or_recover_via_Nandroid), but no sir. I only have the options Backup and Advanced Backup in recovery; it doesn't say Nandroid anywhere.

The thing is - I made a normal backup and it created a folder with .img files in it,

along with a nandroid.md5 file

. So is this a full Nandroid backup or not? And should it not be a zip file? Meaning - will I be able to revert to this backup through ROM Manager or CWM later if it's not a zip?

3) Lastly, I want to install the Tiamat 2.1 Hammerhead ROM. solarnz writes in the instructions in step 6 to "install the rom". So do I do that from recovery? Or from ROM Manager? Which brings me back to my first problem, that ROM Manager won't recognize CWM and won't let me install a ROM without it.

Also - can I install the Hammerhead ROM from my rooted 3.0.1 device at all, or should I install 3.1 first?

I know these are a lot of questions all at once, but after hours and hours of searching and reading (and learning a lot!), I still can't figure this part out.

Many thanks to anyone who can help me make sense of this!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Forget about Rom Manager. You have the correct recovery installed and you have made a "nandroid" backup when you used the backup option in CWM recovery 3.2.0.0 R4c. The Rom you want to flash needs to be on your MicroSD card and that needs to be in your Xoom when you boot into recovery. It is from the CWM recovery menu that you will choose to flash the zip file that will install the Rom. You will need to be able to boot into recovery and you can do it by pressing volume up and power to get to dual core screen, then after 3 seconds, press volume down then volume up and you should be in recovery. Or you could download Quick Boot from the market and use its boot into recovery option (that's what I do).

About the version you need to be on to flash Hammerhead...what does it say? I think you may need to be on 3.1 but just read the OP on the Hammerhead thread...it will tell you the requirements.

Good luck!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobblack:
Thanks a lot for explaining that okantomi, that's very helpful and reassuring!

The only thing I'm left with now is to figure out the version part... the rom OP doesn't say anything about a required version. Here's the thread btw: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1203635

I made my way through the first 18 or so pages of the 434 total pages in that thread, but still couldn't find any info on that. I'll keep looking - not giving up :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobblack:
Quick update... I decided to just go for it. I flashed the 3.2 ROM onto 3.0.1 - it worked perfectly without any hiccups whatsoever. I'm now running Androud 3.2 with 3G and it works beautifully. Can you see that I'm smiling? :)

I see all themes ive wanted required "deodexed", but yet I cant find any information on how to "deodexed" :please.link.me.to.solution:

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
allow me to assist you in your search:

http://tinyurl.com/27q5ml8
[Atrix 4G General] leftshark:
...wise guy huh :P

"De-odex: Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything. "

I understand this aspect...but is there like a guide for (apparently) noobs? As that is what I can seem to find....
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
perhaps you should read a little in the dev forum??

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1162764

found it all the way on page 3...and i also found it by.... GOOGLING: deodex atrix

i also found it using the XDA SEARCH feature...remarkable thing it is: deodex atrix

sorry if you find these responses sarcastic, but for pete's sake...i had to do a SEARCH to find it....and find it I did. i cant imagine your search would be that different.

also, this should have been posted in Q&A, and any custom rom you are on is probably ALREADY deodexed...as its basically a standard that everyone does when building a rom.......

Samsung/T-Mobile support an easy to break USB ports that's all overall excellent phone
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
The USB port that's basically it. Also battery life sucks for me as well.

This phone was pretty well built other than the GPS sucking, but I don't use it that much nor do I actually have big problems like others.

We also need more love from Samsung so we can get a Gingerbread leak going :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrlow:
wonder why the usb ports dont last in these. maybe location?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrobc97:
Cuz before we use to plug in the phones just to charge them. Now every time you log in to XDA (or your favorite Devs. forum) there is some new **** you wanna install in your phone....plug-unplug...oh I just found this new cool wallpaper...plug-unplug...new ROM...plug-unplug...new kernel...plug-unplug...new (you get the point). You probably plug-unplug your phone 10 times during the course of one day. Back then it was just once every 2-3 days to charge. Don't say they make them cheaper now, they just get abused now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrobc97:

My biggest problem (besides not getting GB for the Vibrant) is that when I wanna take a picture in a dark place I noticed I'm missing that little small LED light that shines when you take a picture which most new phones comes with....what is it called???...oh yeah is a ****ING FLASH SAMSUNG! WTF what is a roll of the dice? "OK lets see which of the new Galaxy S devices is NOT getting a flash just for the **** of it...roll it"...OR....

2. No FFC. Seriously everything comes with FFC nowadays how did they not implement it??

3. NO GB UPDATE.

Roms are great but come on they get better after the source release!

The one reason I still use a 2.2 ROM is because they're stable. Why? Because 2.2 was released for the vibrant. But it seems like GB will never come out for this phone. Might as well wait for SGS2 >.>

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicBeast:
I'm glad I got rid of mine

Everything.

1. USB plug is cheaply made

2. Stock OS is nearly inoperable

3. cheap "toy like" feel

4. LAG Endless Lag NO MATTER WHAT ROM I USED

5. Endless crashes, reboots

6. Daily (Sometimes 10 times per) Battery Pulls

7. T-Mobile's complete incompetence and lack of interest in consumer needs/ desire to break the law.

What did I do?

I got an iPhone

and yes the screen on the iPhone is better. The phone is easier to hold.

iOS is much easier to use, touchscreen is a LOT more responsive

(Nothing compares to it)

My phone is actually smart. VERY Intuitive

Besides once iOS 5 arrives, call it a day for Android.

it's much better than Android. Yeah they copied it; but they did it a lot better.

[General Questions and Answers] drdamond:
I've searched for answers high and low and I have learned that my reboot issue might be hardware related, but I'd post a Q&A in case someone has a better idea.

My EVO reboots randomly. It mostly happens when I'm watching a netflix mirrored to my TV. It rarely happens when my phone screen is off (ex. WIFI hotspot). It happens on AOSP and Sense roms (CM7, Fresh, MIUI, and stock deodexed). It happens with different kernels and radios. The weirdest part is that it didn't start until about June 1st. About one year after a got it on opening day. I first noticed it while playing Plants Vs zombies. I talked to sprint and the tech guy was willing to work with me and has ordered me a replacement. I don't want to go get it because I will lose root.

Anyone have any other suggestions?
