[Q] Anyone got working calendar on 4.4 ?

I have the 11/22 driver (update 5) on the Infuse and I cannot get past the authentication screen for calendar.
After I plug in my uid/pw it says "Couldn't sign in". This must be a default message for something because when I test with an invalid credential it simply says bad uid/pw.
Does anyone have a working calendar on 4.4 ?

I had a similar problem. I downloaded the google calendar from the play store though and it seems to be working fine.

fixed by replacement

Thanks !
It seems that the calendar application included in gapps (green grid icon) does not work . I disabled it and downloaded the calendar application from Google:good: play (blue page folding icon) which worked without setup.
Google must have switched the application and we are still flashing with a wrong gapps.:good:

that green icon calendar is the stock android aosp calendar app. its not part of gapps, though you used to be able sync your google account with it. i dont know if you still can because they killed off google sync a while back. its still needed for other things like exchange accounts. google released a dedicated google calendar app like a year or so ago so you should use that anyways.

Thanks

If the AOSP calendar is uninstalled and the blue Google calendar installed will calendar on lock screen function properly? I'm not on 4.4 yet but just curious. Thanks!

[Q] Replacing the Contacts App

I'm looking for a way to replace my Samsung GS3's contacts app with an ASOP style app (CM would be best for me). I used to run CM but through a long story my phone was returned to stock and had the 4.3 OTA installed on it. I'm stuck now.
I managed to replace the Samsung Email app with the CM 10.2 version of same and thanks to Google releasing their Calendar app on the Play Store I just disabled S Planner (hate it) and use that. The only one left is the god-awful contacts app. I tried using the same process I did for the email app, which was to wipe data and remove the Samsung email apps accounts and then use Titanium Backup to uninstall it. I then went and put the Email.apk file from CyanogenMod 10.2 in its place. Worked like a charm for email but the contacts app keeps telling me there is an error with the package when I do this.
I also tried using both Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk but that didn't work either. Anyone have an ideas? The problem is no matter what I do the system won't recognize Contacts.apk as an app and list it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the contacts app relies on the phone app as well to work properly. You might be better off trying to find a contacts app from the store that is similar to CM

There is no native Facebook contact sync, you'd need to use an app like Haxsync.

Thank you for the quick replay, but HaxSync have not been updateded in play store scince May 1, 2013. Is there more up to date, recommended alternative for CM 12.1?

It doesn't really matter if it hasn't been updated, it still works, I don't know any others. You could just search "Facebook sync" in the Play Store.

After reading this thread, I think HaxSync does not work any more, because of API changes.

Sync from mobile to Exchange does not work. The other way does

Running Cyanogenmod 13 24 May Nightly on a Nexus6.
Have not had any previous problems with calendar, contact and email sync until now.
Calendar, contacts and email was syncing fine. Until I noticed that when I added a calendar item in the phone it does not sync to Exchange. The other way around works fine. From Exchange to the mobile.
I have removed the device in Exchange, cleared the Exchange profile on the phone, added it again.
Calendar sync still not working ok.
Did a full wipe of the device installed latest Nightly and Gapps stock and tried again. Same problem but now I also get “Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly”

......

Same issue here with a few Nexus devices on stock 6.0.1. The problem seems to be the updated Exchange Services that came from the Play Store.
They are investigating the issue. Search for the thread on google support forums: Exchange-Service App don't sync

Replacement to poor native mail app - CM Email apk (AOSP+)

I love many things about my new Galaxy s7 however the native mail app is NOT one of them... So I thought I would share the CyanogenMod built Email.apk and Exchange2.apk files I pulled from an older rooted phone as replacements. The CM email app is my favorite as it is simple and very fast for IMAP/POP accounts and supports auto push for IMAP unlike the AOSP version. These files are from CM 13 (Android 6 Marshmallow) and all credit for their packaging and development goes to that amazing community - beyond the AOSP provided base of course
To successfully install don't forget to first turn on "unknown sources" under Settings/Lockscreen and security. Exchange2.apk is only needed to connect to Exchange servers. All that is needed is to download and then click on from your file manager...
As a helpful side note you can disable the native email app with Package Disabler Pro (or similar) app.
Enjoy!

The email doesn't work.

Hmm... what about the email does not work? Did it not install? Did you get it installed and you weren't able to set up an account?
Assuming you have the option to allow apps outside of the Google Play Store to be installed set to yes in your settings...

Neat. It's a reskinned GMail app in every way.

Looks good. Thanks for this

My solution is similar. I sideload Exchange Services, and that lets me use Gmail as my Exchange account's client. I subscribe to the Exchange Service's PB channel so I know when updates hit.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-6-4-123892212-release-android-apk-download/

I have disabled my built in app
Installed exchange services
But failed to install the email apk as I got a message that it will update my existing built in app and then fail
I have oppo r7 plus phone running color os
Any advise please

I froze all things Google and am running Google free. This was helpful forward that endeavor

are the EAS security settings disabled on the Exchange.apk?
