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. :confused:
