Would certainly be nice to have the stock calendar app... not to fond of this one. Somehow i just find adding new appointments way more cumbersome...

Use the official Facebook app, it works better than friend stream. You can do the same with the official Twitter app.
I don't get how to do it with the facebook application. I messed around with it for a bit, but no avail. Any help?

Go to settings and make sure you have sync contacts enabled. The names /emails have to be similar, but you can always go the contact app, edit a contact and then use the join option in the menu to manually connect contacts.
Edit: this works better than Sense because now all apps that use contact syncing will now have that popup menu when you click on a contacts photo.

Sorry man, but Friend Stream is for HTC Sense frameworks, and won't work in CM6. But, if you purchase Launcher Pro Plus, then that launcher has a widget similar to friend stream (puts facebook + twitter stuff in one widget for ya).
Good luck
Also as an fyi- you can go to any OTA rom, download and rip out any apk's you may want to try. All you need is winrar and you can extract the friendstream.apk file from system/app/ yourself

Use Launcherpro (http://www.launcherpro.com/. It has a widget that is the same as Friendstream.
I downloaded the google calender from the playstore and it looks the same as the built-in one (the one that comes with AOSP-based ROMs). thanks
Google calender syncs with your google account(s).

definitely not true in my simple test.
I created an entry using the downloadable google calender. wipe my rom and sync my calender acct to the cloud and it picked up the entry I made.
You probably didn't have it synced in the calander or have background data on. Works for me with no problems. A simpler test would be to create an entry then check online (PC or on your mobile web browser).
One of my favorite features was being able to sync my contacts from Facebook to my phone in Jellybean so that all of my contacts used their Facebook photo for my contacts on my phone.
Either I am not seeing how to do that in Android 4.4 or that feature was removed.
My Facebook account is synced to my phone and when I go to it under accounts in my settings, it doesn't have anything in there.
Can someone point out how to do this?
That was never part of Jellybean! You must come from an device with UI like touchwiz or sense..

Wow. Yeah, i had an HTC One X+. Sad face.
I guess I had just assumed that was how all android phones were. Dang.
So does anyone know any way to do this then? Maybe a 3rd party app or something?
Sync.Me

Download the app Sync.Me. I've been using it for a while now and it seems to do a pretty good job at syncing Facebook contact pictures. Can also do LinkedIn, if you have one.
Ubersync works well and you can choose the quality
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
As I don't know the name but only that it exists, you can google for it as good as i could.
So check it out yourself. There are some apps who can do what you want ! (ofc not as good as it is implemented in sense)
Download Haxsync - best app there is for syncing contact timeline information and photos
I'm gonna give Sync.ME a try. Thanks everyone!
What's the difference?

Both work the same there is no difference..
In gapps the calender is installed as system app which cant be removed unless rooted..
Google calender is for those who want to use google calender.. Which is not available in there device..
In short you can say those ppl who want to use google calender rather than default one..
I have a strange device from Alibaba (Touchwo panel https://www.alibaba.com/product-det...a2756.order-detail-ta-ta-b.0.0.5d732fc2KN7LdB) that came with Android 11 and most components, including Play Services, but it doesn't seem to have come with the Calendar Storage component. I tried to get a random .apk and install that but it didn't work, and I have no idea where I would find one specific to this device. Is there any way to install the component or otherwise get calendar apps to work? I just need one that syncs with Google Calendar and that I can use as a widget.
Have you tried logging in through Chrome and using the calendar?

I don't understand what you're asking. Using the calendar within a browser is not helpful to me, I want to place a widget on the home screen. Or, if you're asking me to open the built-in calendar app, that doesn't even open without Calendar Storage installed.

I asked the question in reference to the title of your thread, "How do I deal with a device that didn't come with Calendar Storage?"
If you are not satisfied with the help provided in the form of discussion, I can't help it.
Welp, then find Calendar Storage app, from some ROMs, this app is mostly same from ROM to ROM.
Find/use a free 3rd party calendar app. Find one that's ad free and allows for backup. Samsung's have one integrated into their ecosystem so I never pursued one. I try to avoid using Gookill products...
I can actually relate, i dont use Google apps too. like for one or two years, Disabling them gives large slice in privacy and productivity and battery life with memory as well.
(Its easy to find alternatives,)

A map app that doesn't need Gmaps running in the background be nice. Gmaps always runs at start up. Trashware and spyware.
I still use Gmail but manual sync only and Google play Services is temporarily disabled unless I use Gmail. Framework, backup Transport and Playstore disabled. A bunch of other Google trashware as well. At least a 15% boost in SOT and screen off time savings. Makes a huge difference on this stock N10+. Google is a mess and only getting worse... internet Krokodil.
Fortunately there are a lot of great 3rd party freeware apps especially if still running on Android 9. Google is making harder for developers as Android becomes more of a rotten Apple with each OS release. Google aka Spectre.

I found some on APKMirror but they didn't work. Everywhere I found said that the app is generally customized per device.

3rd-party apps use Calendar Storage as well. I do want something that at least integrates with Google Calendar because my job uses it. If you know of any that integrate with Google Calendar but don't use Calendar Storage, that would be great, because I wasn't able to find any.

I should have clarified, I would like something I can use as a widget. The device is going on my wall, not as a portable tablet.
