[Q] Problems with Calendar sync(I've searched and searched). Can anyone help?

---

I realize there have been many threads on this, so my apologies for starting a new one. But many that I read were either outdated, or just the same info that wouldn't work for me.

I have a rooted Kindle fire, Market is installed, GMail, etc. All working gloriously. Also, I can get the Calendar app to install. However, I can't get it to sync.

I have followed instructions very closely and even tried a couple of different variations(I have a backup image that I use to restore after each one). I have made sure the calendar sync apk file is in the right place, permissions set, etc.

Is there something I'm missing? When I go into the Calendar app, it doesn't let me add events or select calendars though I do have multiple calendars on my Google account.

If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate the help! Thanks!

you need to add GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk

There is info on this page:

Thanks, but I already have that in place. In fact, I have tried multiple versions of that file that I've found, including the one on the page you linked to.

I go into Root Explorer, copy that file, go into my system/app folder, mount for R/W, paste the file, change permissions to all read and the top middle write, then unmount back to RO, restart device.......no luck.

Is that process incorrect? I'm assuming it's something that I'm doing wrong since many people have gotten it working with the same files. But what could it be?

I installed the file mentioned above BEFORE installing the calendar app, and I always reboot after changing permissions, etc.

Any other ideas?

If it helps, my calendars don't even show up for sync in the Account Settings that I access using the GMail app. I do have the option to sync Picasa, Gmail, and Books, and all options are checked. But no calendar option.

So somehow, my calendars are still not being seen for whatever reason, despite doing everything exactly as instructed.

I'm so confused!

I set my permissions on GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk to 777, full open, read/write/execute as the instructions said. Try that.

If that doesn't fix it I would start over from scratch, find a good tutorial and be sure to add everything you need and set the correct permissions. It is possible that you installed a corrupt file or made a small error along the way.

Yep, already tried that with no luck.

As I mentioned, I'm sure that I'm missing something, but I've read through dozens of pages of people figuring this out, and nothing has worked for me. I've tried different packages and started over from scratch numerous times.

Everything works except for Calendar sync, including Mail sync, Books sync, etc. Market works and all other applicable Google apps. Which makes it even more confusing.

maybe this thread can help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1481055

Thanks. I did go through that thread, but will venture through it again to see if I missed anything. If nothing else, I'll just try everything again to see if something clicks. At this point, I think I've been through every thread and every method, but who knows.

Well, tried everything all over again, and still no luck.

There has to be something I'm missing. There is nothing different with my Fire than anyone else's. It's rooted with BurritoRoot and this is the first thing I try each time I restore to the freshly rooted system.

Outside of the calendar sync apk, do I need to move any other files to the system/app folder? Maybe another file I could be missing?

Any other ideas?

Hmmmm, mine works. I had rooted first with buritoroot, then lost root with the 6.2.2 update, then rooted with burittoroot2. I had the calender sysching under both version of the stock rom 6.2.1 and 6.2.2. All I ever did was place the calendarsyncadapter in the correct directory, change the permissions and it worked....
