[Q] Synchronize Check Boxes Missing - Google Accounts

Guys, at some point, not sure when, my check boxes to select sync options on Google accounts is missing. If I go to Menu>>Settings>>Accounts and select my Google account, the options for checking/unchecking Calendar, Contacts, etc. is missing. Any idea why they went missing? Phone is rooted using Z4Root and I do have gmail.apk renamed to gmail.bak. Not sure why this is happening. There could be a few other files renamed to remove bloatware.
Any ideas? I want to add another Google account and turn off sync for everything except Reader.
Android Version: 2.2
System Version: Version.2.4.330.A956.Verizon.en.US
Thanks.

Being that you renamed one of the main programs it would sync to, it prob thinks that it has nothing to sync. I would suggest reinstalling the Gmail app, as it is not in any way bloatware.

Do you know if the Gmail.apk package is used to sync contacts and calendar as well? Thanks for your advice. I will try it soon and report back.

negative, renamed Gmail.bak back to Gmail.apk with no success.
Any ideas?

Naming it back does not actually reinstall it. I found that out the hard way when I very first rooted my phone. You'll actually have to go thru the market and redownload and install.
As for it actually syncing, it there are other packages there that handle the syncing, how directly or indirectly I am not sure though. However, it is very likely that they still interact with each other, which means you just suddenly stripping it of something it expects to be there is quite likely to cause an array of possible problems.

Deleted stock Calendar

Hi!
Seems I'm not the only on that got carried away a little by deleting some (for me) unusefull apps on my droid.
since I'm using a third party calendar I thought (I proved myself wrong) that the stock calendar wouldn't be of much use. Apperantly.... It is.
Whe syncing my exchange mail / contacts / calendars it give me an error on the calendar part.
Typically example of OOPS!
Who has the stock calendar as APK?
I'm not sure whether it is the google calendar that support the agenda sync on mail for exchange...

From whatever ROM you are using, get the calendar apk from the zip.
Should be in system/app.
And push it to system/app on your phone.

How did you delete the .apk file originally. When I try to delete files with ES File Explorer it tells me I cannot delete the file
There are a few I would like to get rid of that I don't use, just to free up some space. namely Stocks, twitter and such.

rooted my phone.
btw. restored my image with clockwork to overcome the issue (luckily I made a clockwork backup 2 days ago)
however there seems to be a way to remove stock apps.

[Q] Installing Calendar/Contacts + google sync on Adayo AN6B01 Car Radio / Head Unit

Hi there,
I've got an Adayo AN6B01 head unit / car radio here that has Froyo running as OS but the contacts app is missing, this is by factory default.
Searching in /system/app, I at least found the ContactsProvider.apk. But no sync adapter and no contacts apk.
First, I installed the sync adapter from goo.im for Cyanogenmod 6 MDPI as usual by copying it to /system/app and changing the permissions to rw-r--r--.
Because I didn't find a Froyo contacts.apk, I've set up an Android build machine then and compiled Froyo myself, grabbed the compiled apk and installed it.
The installation was fine, the contacts app now opens, but there are no contacts. I tried adding a new account, but the only account type that I can add is Exchange, no google.
In the settings, under "Accounts&Sync", my google account is there but there are only entries for "Picasa Web Albums", "Google Reader" and "Google Music".
I have the same problem now with the calendar, there are no entries and the menu even doesn't open at all. I installed the calendar apk that I compiled and I now have a menu, but still no calendar entries. As the calendar was there by factory default, I assume that I've broke something, but I don't know what.
What is the problem here? Would be nice if someone could help me out here.
Regards,
Lyve

Same Unit
I have the same head unit. I am interested in getting the same things you are as well as unlocking the bluetooth for use with other devices.
I would also like to see a tablet jellybean rom for it, but I can wish in one hand and.... ya know.
I have not done any rom cooking, but am willing to start. I have been developing in vb.net so I'm not a total loss.
Interested in how far you have gotten if anywhere.

[GUIDE]Sync local calendar with Google account[No root]

Hi guys!
Added many calendar entries and then realized that you have added it to the local calendar? Android syncs only the calendar which is connected with your Google Account. So if you want to transfer all entries from local calendar to the Google calendar, you have come to the right place
To achieve this, kindly follow these steps and you will be good to go:good: :-
1. Download this app on your phone - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts
2. Open it and go to Calendars Backup--->Backup
3. Chose the file name and start the backup.
4. Then transfer the backup file to your pc. It will be in /sdcard/SmsContactsBackup/calendars
5. Open up the backup file on your pc. I'd highly recommend you to use Notepad++ for this. You will see multiple <Calendar entries at the top of the file. Look for the entry which has this attribute:- account_type="LOCAL"
Note down the _id attribute for this <Calendar entry.
6. Now look for <Calendar entry which has name="[email protected]" attribute and note down the _id attribute. Here xyz is your gmail username.
7. Now open Find & Replace and replace this -
Code:
calendar_id="1"
with
Code:
calendar_id="2"
Here, 1 is the _id for LOCAL <Calendar entry and 2 is the id for your Google Calendar (in my case). It could be different for you. So basically whichever calendar entry is set as local, will be converted to the google calendar's entry so that it can be synced
8. Now transfer the modified file back to /sdcard/SmsContactsBackup/calendars
9. Now open Superbackup--->Calendars and click on Delete all calendars.
10. Then restore the modified backup and re-sync your phone with the google calendar. All your local entries will now appear as google calendar entries and will get synced properly to your account.
Enjoy

I have been looking for something like this for several days now. I haven't tried it yet but I will soon and I can't wait. Thank you for sharing.

Glad to hear that at least someone found it useful.

Yeah this is very useful. I know most people only use the Google Calendar and don't ever worry about this but for the people that don't know the difference and then try to switch devices this is good to know. Great find!

Great thanks, that's exactly what I was searching for !!
You saved me 2hours of re-entering many bithdays and garbage-colection-days

Entries disappear when syncing.
Hello. I tried this one for my dad's Xperia S. All went well up until I tried to sync it with his google account. After it finishes syncing, all the calendar entries just disappear. Help please?

Hello, I tried this method and everything looks like it is working, when I restore the modified backup it says it is updating 601 entries to the calendar, which is about right - but I am still not seeing them on the calendar.

Do most phones not have a method of exporting local calendars which can then be imported to Google Calendars or other calendars?

Easier way to do it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.applisto.copyevents.pro
This allows to periodically move events from one calendar to another and, when using it for the first time allows to specify which time frame has to be considered (into the past and into the future).
Copy: events copied from 1 calendar to the other.
Mirror: tracking changes
Move: original event is removed, only left in target calendar.
It is powerful, be careful to read explanations and features.

I was unable to get this guide to work at all. However, another suggestion here worked well. The basic idea is to export an existing calendar as an ICS file and then import it to Google (or wherever) using a desktop computer web browser. The free program referenced in that post worked for me. I was able to export a single calendar as an ICS without issue. However, I couldn't use the suggested program to import a calendar; I had to use the Google Calendar website instead.
you can migrate the events you've already entered on the Phone's calendar (to which you've been adding events with the Samsung Calendar App) into Google Calendar for free using a tool such as Calendar Sync Trial. Open the app and go to "Export" to create an ics (iCal) file containing the phone's calendar events, then import that file into a Google Calendar using a browser, or the same app. You can get Calendar Sync Trial from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icalparse.free
