hello everyone, I've been playing around for a couple of days with several froyo ROMS and every one of them have a single issue in common: I cannot sync my Exchange calendar with the phone. I can setup the exchange account normally and it works for email and contacts but in the calendar list I can't see my exchange one, only the standard google one. It might be due to the absence of some core blur apps, but I'm not even sure it works on a stock 2.2 rom.
I was thinking about swap all calendar/email apps with the stock apks, I already tried calendar.apk and email.apk with no luck. I can't find the stock calendarsync.apk, may be I already have the stock one, don't know for sure!
any ideas? Thanks!
Not sure what the issue could be. As far as I know all Froyo builds have calendar. All of them I have tried have worked. Any of the Blur roms should work as well.
I've noticed really hit-and-miss exchange syncing among various ROMs. I change ROMs rather frequently just because I like to test out the latest and greatest, but I also rely on exchange for my work account and the unreliable exchange support of the built-in e-mail apps was frustrating. I ended up buying 'enhanced e-mail' from the market and haven't looked back. Now I don't have to worry if the included mail client will support exchange, I just install EE and I'm done with it. The developer of it is super responsive. I VERY rarely pick up paid apps, but this was a good buy for me.
well, I ended up deleting email.apk and calendar.apk instead of trying to fix them
I'm quite sure this problem is due to the absence of some core files, on the stock nordic rom it works fine! I also use an aftermarket app, RoadSync, it works quite well but the developer is almost non existent, I'll try enhanced email
I might be way way off on this one, but I think that the normal calendars (AOSP and Moto's version for Defy) can only sync with one external calendar.
So, for me, I choose not to sync my Google Calendars (an option you can set in your accounts screen), but choose yes to sync my corporate cal. Upon next reboot & sync I see my work calendar on my Defy.
(I'm using AOSP 2.2.2 Email.apk and Moto's calendar on a Nordic build 2.2.2 ROM. I sync three GMail accounts mail and contacts but not calendar, and one Exchange account all mail/contacts/calendar).
Like I say, I might be wrong, but I think you can only sync your first calendar and not all of them.

I can sync both my Exchange calendar and my Google calendar. I have done so with both AOSP and Blur.

Are there any roms/ports 1.6 or above with exchange support? (contacts, mail, calendar)
I love the maps nav but couldn't live without Exchange unfortunately. One day when we switch to only blackberry *shudder*.
I'm interested too, it's a pain having to choose between 1.6 goodies and exchange support. Mail works on 1.6, but calendars and contacts don't as far as I know.
i'm yet to find a rom higher than 1.5 that has full exchange support.
they all seem to do either mail only or mail and contacts, but not calendar.
it's one of the reason i still use a cupcake rom.
i moved up to a donut rom and tried to get by without calendar, but it was just too frustrating.
I have setup my N1 with exchange.
Email & contacts are syncing, what about calendar?
I can't see a way to do this
You'll need to either purchase some software from the Market, or root your phone and install motocal and motogal. Serarch for them.
Thank you.
rooted and installed motorola's stuff.
It's an improvement, but still no caparison to my old iPhone
Hey All,
Is there and Android native app that syncs your exchange calendar with your google calendar...
Like Moxier, Touchdown, etc. are all fine, but they have their own calendars - I just want one calendar with everything (in this case, my google calendar)...
Yeah, I know there are desktop apps, but these are useless if you're on the road for weeks and only carrying your beloved Android phone...
Thanks!
Thought I'd answer my own question since no one else could... That way, if anyone else wants an answer to the same question, here it is...
Yes - 2.2 gives you exchange calendar sync, so all your appointments appear on the one android calendar. Nice - no need for Moxier, Touchdown or anything, and I only have to look at one calendar to find out my schedule, not 3...
I got my defy the other day, but I am having problems getting Exchange mail to work.
AFAIK, you need Froyo for proper support, so I installed a Froyo ROM (This one)
However, it seems to have no "Mail" icon in applications - there is a K9 mail, which seems to have an exchange option, but I cannot get it to work, and surely I don't need 3rd party apps?
If I go into settings->accounts and add a new account, there is a "Corporate Sync" option which seems to have a "Domain" box, but no box for server address, so I cannot get that to work. Is that Exchange mail?
I not only need to sync mail, but contacts and appointments also.
I use exchangemymail.com and my server is Exchange 2003, their page for setting up on winmo is here
Ideally I want MotoBlur REMOVED from the ROM.
Any suggestions on which ROM I should use?
Any of the stock 2.2 Defy Froyo's will have exchange / corporate email in them. (performance is fine!)
If you must have a deblur, I am currently using S.Froyo Fin III edition and that has it (although i did add his extras too).
Hope this helps you out.

I'm using Finland Froyo and it works fine with Exchange. My company uses Microsoft BPOS and all contacts and appointments sync perfectly. But I really dont know if there is some issue with Exchange 2003 severs.

Bummer, is there a fix/workaround available/coming for this?
I realised I was being a numpty and had installed FIN II not FIN III.
I installed FIN III and the option was there and worked perfectly first time.
Hi...
I have a new Galaxy Nexus. Everything is fine so far. I different mail accounts installed (gmail, pop2, MS Exchange 2010).
The mails and the contacts from my Exchange account are shown and synced without problems. But the calendar does not show at all. Its not even listed in my available calendars nor is it in the list of the calendars to sync.
My phone is running on Android 4.0.1, Baseband I9250XXKK1...
I hope someone can help me... I do not want to use a 3rd party product. I like the look and feel of the calendar app.
Thank you!

Hi Timmy...
Thanks for the answer. The sync with email and contacts works without any problem...
I tried the touchdown App yesterday. There also the calendar sync works fine. But I would like to use the builtin Calendar and not a 3rd party App.
Thank for the support!
