[Nook Color General] rxr:
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
[Nook Color General] ricoishere2:
Anyone have the calender apk out the the "auto-nooker"?
[Nook Color General] feisty_noodle:
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).
[Nook Color General] Xhorder:
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...

:(
[Nook Color General] feisty_noodle:
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.
[Nook Color General] feisty_noodle:
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.
[Nook Color General] Xhorder:
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.
[Nook Color General] Kokanee483:
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.
[Nook Color General] feisty_noodle:
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?
[Nook Color General] Kokanee483:
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.
[Nook Color General] feisty_noodle:
@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.
[Nook Color General] hakepuck:
Got events to show up, but new events not syncing still...

Before, I had an empty calendar from which I was able to create new events and sync up to my cloud calendar via the google calendar app. Now, I have a populated calendar by doing the following:

> adb shell

# cd /data/data/com.android.providers.calendar/databases

# rm calendar.db

# exit

> adb reboot

Unfortunately, new events are not syncing.
[Nook Color General] Kokanee483:
Sorry Fiesty, the service is not running. I was indeed referring to the LP calendar widget, my apologies for any confusion on the matter. The "agenda" mode works for me so well on my homescreen I'm not missing the full calendar app I use normally.
[Nook Color General] feisty_noodle:
This should fix the Calendar sync issue

Ok, I have been doing a bit of hacking and may have come up with a viable solution (time will tell whether it is stable).

It seems, the problem is that there is no way to set the sync state of the google services because we don't have access to the proper Android Settings (just whatever B&N wants us to have).

There is, however an xml file which can set the properties, if properly edited:

/data/system/sync/accounts.xml

In this file, one can find a bunch of entries which correspond with registered Google accounts (made possible, of course, by the SetupWizard.apk provided as a result of the Autonooter procedure).

They (these entries) look like this:

<authority id="?" account="?????@gmail.com" type="com.google" authority="???" />

Procedure to enable calendar syncing:

0) If possible, backup the current state with TitaniumBackup or something similar. (I haven't seen any bad mishaps -- like a /data wipe -- but one never knows.)

1) pull the /data/system/sync/accounts.xml and save a copy just in case

2) modify the lines with {authority="calendar"} to include {enabled="true" syncable="true"}; use a simple text editor not to introduce any weird formatting (I am looking at you, Windows users!)

The final state of the line will be something like this:

<authority id="?" account="?????@gmail.com" type="com.google" authority="calendar" enabled="true" syncable="true" />

3) push the modified file back to the same location

4) reboot and test the syncing: create an event on the Nook and see it appear on GCal (should happen within 30 s), create an event on GCal and see it appear on the Nook (you may have to refresh the app by exiting to Home and getting back in, for example)

5) enjoy your functional calendar app

Note: although I have not experienced any weirdness, and this procedure appears to be safe, please remember that this is a hack.

That said, I have safely started B&N Shop and Nook Home app. Things are steady on my Nook.

Best of luck.

-----------------------------------

tldr:

normal syncing function of the Calendar app is broken in the autonootered Nooks; follow the procedure above to fix
[Nook Color General] hakepuck:
Thank you feisty, that worked.
[Nook Color General] Kokanee483:
Wow, great work thanks for the howto.
[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
Right on Fiery Ramen! :D Will add hack when I get home.
[Nook Color General] cabbieBot:
notepad be okay?

i am still getting used to linux.

from /usr/bin, i did sudo ~/Desktop/sdk/platform-tools/adb pull /data/system/sync/accounts.xml

made backup

opened up accounts.xml but it was read only and i dont have the authority to do the permissions change, because i dont know the commands very well.

pushed it back and re-pulled it with win7

edit: regardless, i got it working. Im a bit curious because i noticed that under google reader, it says its not enabled and not syncable. When I open google reader and mark all articles read, if i go back to my PC, they will show up there as marked read. So it is syncing. Confused as to why that is
[Nook Color General] feisty_noodle:
Notepad should be ok. Just to make sure, you can double-check by running it through cat in the terminal before pushing. Check for any extra characters or formatting.

Also, if you can run sudo on your machine, you have the superuser privileges (and, thus, can change permissions: just use 'sudo chmod'). Or, when you pull, you could run adb without sudo (that will create the file with current user as the owner) (not sure whether you can run adb as a regular user in Linux, though).
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
feisty, what a great finding!!, you should start a new thread with this in the first post so it has more visibility
[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
+1. The adb push should also be documented since its different than the pull path. Still struggling with getting my push path right.
[Nook Color General] feisty_noodle:
Good to see that it is working/useful for others.

I opened a new thread.
[Nook Color General] cabbieBot:
had to do the wipe for 1.0.1. did this method again but failed again at doing it in linux, but it worked under W7 like before.

i went ahead and added enabled=true and syncable=true for google reader while i was messing around in the xml to see what would happen.

feisty == the truth.
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
Sticky Material

Great job on putting this together. I searched everywhere and ended right back here. Followed the instructions and after I opened Agenda view, everything synced.

Thanks again Feisty_Noodle!!!!

BTW, I see an "enabled = false" for Google Books. Will changing this do *anything*?
[Nook Color General] barbo:
I'm a noob to Android but this might help someone.

My calendar wasn't working. I went to Calendar - menu - more - my calendar

Then I removed my calendar, added it back and voila! It populated.

Unfortunately, full day items like birthdays do not show up but appointments do. Birthdays do show up in the agenda view however and I like that view the best anyway.
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
I'm getting the same behavior... I think there has to be a different APK that will play nicer.
[Nook Color General] feisty_noodle:
On my NC, the all-day events are there, but some (the top two or so) are obscured by a blank box in the "non-agenda" mode. Not sure what that box is supposed to contain anyway, so I don't know how to turn it off.

Otherwise, the all-day events are visible without problems in the "agenda" mode.

Hopefully, there is a better apk somewhere, but I have not found it in my attempts a while ago. I have tried all the Eclair gapps packages that were linked to from the CyanogenMod efforts. The one everyone is using is the only one that worked for me.
[Nook Color General] KidVulcan:
Thanks, that did the trick for me. I got my NC yesterday and just rooted(?) it today. Still figuring things out
[Nook Color General] colorado_al:
I tried this and I can verify through root explorer that the file has changed to the new one including the enable="true" and syncable="true"

but when I reboot, and I open the file in a text editor, the changes are gone!!

I have 1.0.1 and auto-nooter.

Can anyone help me to figure out why the changes I am making are not staying after reboot? How is the file replaced/restored to previous?
[Nook Color General] cabbieBot:
thank you so much feistynoodle, this is an important convenience for the NC. bravo!
[Nook Color General] patgnds:
I used the (Business Calendar Beta) and now the other calendar is working.

Bringing this thread back up- NC 1.1 autonooter 3- in any calendar view (other than agenda) there is a grey bar that obscures day of the week/events etc- any fix for this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aenimal:
Hope someone could help me. : )

I'm dual-booting the Froyo build (the exact version number escapes me, 2.2 maybe?). Definitely one of the better ones I've tried.

Just the other day I got the notification that a system update was ready to download and install.

Downloaded with no problems, but when I try to install, it goes into a loop: Android shuts down, I power the phone back up, it boots into WM6.5 normally, then I boot Android, and it's back to "would you like to install now or later?" Hit "now", repeat cycle.

If anyone knows how to make the install actually happen, I'd really appreciate your help!

Any one know of how i can get a free unlock code for my mytouch 3g slide im no longer a tmobile customer and dont wanna pay 20 to have it unlocked. i mean if a website can do it im sure someone on xda can. not gonna beg like jabroni... smh.

Freebies are hard to come by these days mate...feel free to Google for this issue or call T-Mobile as suggested by another member to request the code..

Cheers,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamond_dawg:
For newer HTC phones, you need to pay to get an unlock or you have to get it through the carrier. Well if you broke the contract and paided the ETF, then you can Request Tmobile to give you one, or you could ask some friend to do?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RLKirk:
When I su in terminal it grants terminal permissions but then when i put in reboot or reboot recovery it says "not permitted"... what gives???
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
There is a couple of things you can try to figure out what's up:

1) After you typed in su, did your prompt change from a $ to a #?

If so, OK, and if not, su didn't root you. No need to read further without

rooting again.

2) This may only work if busybox is properly installed, but worth a shot:

Type in at #, "which reboot", to find out which possible reboot in the $PATH

order you ran, so it'll return something like /system/bin/reboot, or perhaps

/system/xbin/reboot.

3) Look at the permissions & ownership of reboot returned by which:

ls -l /system/bin/reboot (if that's the one that was executed). If it's not

something like 755 (rwxr-xr-x), then it's not clear it's set right.

Permissions are usually 3 octets like rwx rwx rwx, first owner, next group, next others. In the ls -l /system/bin/reboot in 3) you can see 'owner group' (perhaps 'root system' or something like that on yours). With that info you can figure out if permissions are right. The easiest way to make it work if you're rooted is to set permissions to 755 (anyone can execute regardless of owner) by doing this:

$ su

# chmod 755 /system/bin/reboot (or whereever your reboot is)

Good luck - Hashi
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RLKirk:
When I chmod 755, it says unable to chmod system is read only. Before the # sign there is a sh-3.2 (#) is that normal because i didnt see that on any of the videos I watched. I want to put the psfrecovery on my incredible and thats what this is all about but it wont seem to push the recovery to the phone, but it doesnt throw any errors either. ::confused::
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
Sorry: I skipped a step. You would have to remount /system as read write to do a chmod on something in /system.

The other question (sh-3.2) (#) and while I can't say it 'isn't normal' , I can tell you I've never seen it. (which doesn't mean much).

One thing I wonder about is :: "are you seeing anything or have you seen the superuser.apk app being asked to 'allow' su access the first time you use su in term?" I'm wondering if something has gone wrong with your basic superuser install.

Anyway, about as much as you can try to do with this information is to see if you can remount the /system FS read-write as follows, and then do the chmod again. Here's what I think will work on the dinc:

(from adb or term emulator):

So if none of this works, or also gives permission errors, then you might , if you have Rom Manager, try a 'fix permissions'. Normally I wouldn't advise that, because I don't know who uses that or even which files it 'fixes' or if it fixes them. I just figure it's worth a shot.

Bottom line is if you don't have permissions to a lot of things and you're rooted with su and superuser.apk, then something in the install of those things has gone haywire (if you can't repair them , one way being as above).

Best of luck to you - H

It's called "Signal Strength Widget" and you can download for free in the market. I use it cause when I use go launcher I hide the status bar, just for looks. Idk I like it. I also hope to clean up the install script so I can shorten the number of steps.
