I just got done installing voodoo, and everything went very smoothly. 1735 quadrant score, and it fixed the lag I got when adding an application shortcut on the home screen. However when I went into contacts I noticed that all of my facebook contacts were missing. I thought no problem, I'll resync my facebook account. However, when I go into accounts and sync then add account all the integrated contact accounts are missing. I see the heading that says integrated contacts accounts, but nothing is listed underneath.
Under more accounts I can add a corporate or google, but if I click facebook it highlights but doesn't launch. I uninstalled voodoo without a problem, went into CWM and restored my backup I made right before voodoo. I still can't access the add facebook account.
Any ideas? I liked sync profile pictures, and checking updates in contacts.
That's weird man. Look in your system files to see if the social hub apk is still there. If so clear the data in settings-applications-manage applications.

I found I had to do a Factory data reset on my phone when I had a similar problem. I screwed up and had to return to stock and when I did, the facebook account friends would not sync up right. Did the factory reset from the Privacy menu and it's been working great since.
I think I figured out my problem. I moved back even further in my backups, and got one that still had facebook sync'd. I search through my system folder and noticed SNSaccount.apk was in the app folder. In the how to root, install cwm, remove bloat... thread it mentions that this file is ok to freeze. Well instead of freezing bloatware apps in titanium, I used root explorer to move them to a junk folder on the SD card.
That seemed to fix the issue. I reinstalled voodoo no problem, and facebook sync was fine. I alerted the OP in the sticky thread to mention that this issue might occur if the SNSaccount file is moved.

tldr: Although the initial calendar state is pulled from Google servers upon account setup, normal syncing function of the Calendar app is broken in the autonootered Nooks; follow this procedure to fix
------------------------------------------------------------
It seems, the problem is that there is no way to set the sync state of the google services because we don't have access to the proper Android Settings (just whatever B&N wants us to have).
There is, however an xml file which can set the properties, if properly edited:
/data/system/sync/accounts.xml
In this file, one can find a bunch of entries which correspond with registered Google accounts (made possible, of course, by the SetupWizard.apk provided as a result of the Autonooter procedure).
They (these entries) look like this:
Code:
<authority id="?" account="[email protected]" type="com.google" authority="???" />
Procedure to enable calendar syncing:
0) If possible, backup the current state with TitaniumBackup or something similar. (I haven't seen any bad mishaps -- like a /data wipe -- but one never knows.)
1) pull the /data/system/sync/accounts.xml and save a copy just in case
Code:
cmdline$ adb pull /data/system/sync/accounts.xml ./accounts.xml
cmdline$ adb pull /data/system/sync/accounts.xml ./accounts.xml.orig
2) modify the lines in accounts.xml with {authority="calendar"} to include {enabled="true" syncable="true"}; use a simple text editor not to introduce any weird formatting
The final state of the line will be something like this:
Code:
<authority id="?" account="[email protected]" type="com.google" authority="calendar" enabled="true" syncable="true" />
3) push the modified file back to the same location
Code:
cmdline$ adb push ./accounts.xml /data/system/sync/accounts.xml
4) reboot and test the syncing: create an event on the Nook and see it appear on GCal (should happen within 30 s), create an event on GCal and see it appear on the Nook (you may have to refresh the app by exiting to Home and getting back in, for example)
5) enjoy your functional calendar app
Note: although I have not experienced any weirdness, and this procedure appears to be safe, please remember that this is a hack.
That said, I have safely started B&N Shop and Nook Home app. Things are steady on my Nook.
Update: After a couple of days, things are stable. Events are still syncing; no spontaneous wipes.
Also, others have reported success, so I am unburying this post from a different thread.
I've been using an app/widget called "Synker" available on the Market. Works good to trigger sync events, but maybe I'll try these steps this weekend when I get some downtime.
Thanks!
Tried this, pushed the file to the device and the pulled it again to see if the proper file was there and it was, but after rebooting it restores back to the original file. Any way to prevent that from happening?

Hmm, you are right; I see this, too.
I don't understand what is happening, but it is clear to me that the file gets refreshed with every reboot. Where is the data coming from? I don't know at this point. I didn't notice any data regarding sync management in accounts.db.
Nevertheless, the sync is persistent on my device. That is, after several reboots and no further meddling with the accounts.xml file (apart from the initial mod), I see sync behavior work, as expected.
One reason for this may be that the "enabled" and "syncable" switches for the primary account are NOT set to "false" after the reboot. They are simply discarded.
To answer your question directly, I suppose, one may change the write permissions on the accounts.xml file to read-only (at this time the permissions are 600) after modifications are applied. Haven't tested that yet ...
I'll give that a shot. I also noticed that after I added the Android 3D gallery app it created a new entry in the accounts.xml fil for picasa.
So would, adb shell chmod 755 /data/system/sync/accounts.xml work for the write permissions on accounts.xml
Seeing that this file needs to be modified by the system from time to time (e.g. when adding new accounts), I would not mess with it. There is clearly something going on that is unaccounted for.
FYI: 755 stands for rwxr-xr-x, which is not read-only. On my device, the starting state is 600 or rw-------. Read-only (r--------) would be 'chmod 400'.
For my use, the hack still seems to work well. I cannot add and manage calendars from my other Google accounts, but I'll live with this.
Before this, I used the Synker widget mentioned above, but didn't like having to sync manually. I never remember to do that when I reconnect with the network after working offline. I need a system service to take care of that for me.
Once we have Froyo (fingers-crossed), all of this will be moot.
I was finlly able to get my calendar syncing by opening the GMail app selecting menu then accounts and then re-adding my gmail account, when I re-added the account it gave me the option to select calendar for syncing.

@dawynkoop That sounds about right. What you see is the foundation of the hack.
The problem is that there is no way to toggle this option, once set, is there?
I wish I knew where the settings really reside in the system.

YES SIR! worked, tx's....funny how it shows my account yet allows one to enter the same account again...was not sure if I was to remove the account 1st...just added it again w/o removing in case other were wondering...
Thank you. I was trying to figure out how to get this working for a couple hrs. In my haste to get this working I forgot to check the system sync.
Readded my Gmail account and when it gave me the option to sync calendar and I press it...it tells me to turn on background and auto sync.

Does it STAY synced? If you modify the calendar on the web, it reflects on the Nook without any manual intervention? And likewise editing on the Nook reflects on the web?
Thanks a million, I did it like you said.

As I mentioned in the OP, the sync is stable.
It also persists through reboots (although the contents of the XML file change).
People here are also using a much more simple procedure suggested by Docfreed (I think) of simply re-adding the main Google account. This works for some, but not everyone.
Good luck.

Good luck is right, that never worked for me.. Oh well. I tried it once before, and I just re-tried it.. the file stays the way I modified it until I reboot, and then it's back to the original version with enabled="false" and no syncable="true" added.
Hey! I have a rooted Thunderbolt (Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3, using Imo's 2.7.0 leanKernel), but I have the LauncherPro app and I have my dock display my calls, messages, GMail, as well as a shortcut to the browser.
When I installed this about three weeks ago, my SMS notifications used to work (when I get a notification, a little red notification bubble came up next to my message icon, which was customized, and so are the rest of my dock icons), and then it stopped working - once I installed SMS Go, it started to work again for a bit, and then stopped.
So for two weeks I sort of just accepted that, and then for some odd reason my GMail notifications stopped working... I would get e-mail, and it would say "Inbox (1)" when I click on the GMail icon to open it up, but to see it I would have to refresh and then it would pop up and then if I went to the home screen, the notification bubble would return. These notifications used to be instantaneous; I sent myself a test e-mail and waited for hours, and after doing several test e-mails, I realized sometimes (not all the time though) the application, even after an hour, was not recognizing I got mail until I refreshed.
I tried changing setting to check mail often, made sure on LauncherPro's preferences I set the notifications to be on... I am just unsure why my notifications would stop working (and my GMail is slowly going to crap - I even uninstalled and reinstalled, did not help).
Does anyone have any advice, opinions, or suggestions for this weird problem? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Bump - does anyone have any suggestions? I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling GMail again with no success.

Go into Settings > manage apps > all. Open the Gmail icon. Click on "clear cache " and "clear data ". Ignore the warnings. Return to home page, and open Gmail. It will resync, and your problem should be solved.

I've had gmail bug out on me about three times total dating all the way back to my OG droid. It always happened after flashing a new ROM even with full wipes. My situation was a little different (basically if I "deleted" a email in the gmail app it wouldn't actually delete. It would never resync to my phone but I still would get a x amount of new messages. I would then log into my gmail on the pc and there are all the messages that I had "deleted") I solved this once by just clearing data and cache, but the other two times I had to do a wipe and reinstall. What was interesting though is each time I back upd my current Rom and used that on the restore and bam it was fixed.
Is there any way I can change the frequency of when the GMail app checks mail/forwards them to my phone?
through the gmail app itself no. You could use the "mail" provider on the phone and receive gmail that way. In that program you (i think) can set up the frequency that it syncs. A couple of downsides to this though:
1. unless it has changed since I haven't tried it since the OG droid, it won't delete emails off your web based account only your phone.
2. you would need to delete the gmail app on your phone.
SOLVED
Posted about this in the CM9 thread, but haven't gotten any help there yet. Basically every time I attempt to download any attachment in gmail (pictures, apk, etc), it shows that it's downloading and reaches 100% completion in gmail, but then does nothing. There is nothing in the downloads app. I have to use a browser to get these files, which is annoying, so any help would be much appreciated. Gmail version is 4.0.3 and I've tried clearing data.
Edit: I found a themed apk and deleted system app, reinstalled as normal app, works fine now.
For awhile, my Facebook push notifications were working just fine until I had updated to Jelly Bean. I tried everything.. to clearing cache, data, uninstalling, and even the BlackBerry trick again (worked once before) and couldn't for the life of me figure out why they weren't working anymore. I thought maybe it was Facebook clashing with JB. I read everywhere and found out some people had no issues and some had some where every push notifications didn't work and some just Facebook.
Well I spend a day or so trying to figure it out and finally found a new, simple fix.
1) Open the Facebook app.
2) Tap on menu button on the top left
3) Account > Account Settings
4) Apps and Websites
5) Clear out Facebook related apps (Like Friendcaster or HTC Sense)
6) Clear data on the Facebook app and launch app
I noticed some off the apps in there have a push notification toggle button and I believe it was messing up the push notification system of there was to many to keep up with.
Once I spent 20 mins clearing those apps out, I cleared data and started the app notifications started working again. I didn't know it worked until someone wrote on my wall and I was shocked to see a notification!
I really hope this helps some of you out who have gave up looking for another fix.
If you're still not getting notifications, I'm sorry =(

After a whole day of looking around, here's the solution: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120318142032AA1GpzE (quote below). As a step-by-step:
1. log out of your Android Facebook app
2. clear app data
3. go to facebook on a PC and then account settings → security settings → active sessions and end all of them. (not sure if that's necessary, but it wouldn't hurt)
4. Log out
5. Now log in on the Android app and enjoy push notifications.
If you are logged into Facebook on a computer or other device, then your android phone won't sync, one way is to hit the social network widget and tap view all updates, then click on the refresh button, that is what I have to do to fix mine if I am logged into the computer, or you can just log out of facebook when you are wanting to use the phone.
This was caused by the latest update from Facebook's Mobile App, and unfortunately it affects not only facebook, but also twitter on the social network widget.

I have just tried this, along with uninstalling Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and Friendcaster. They used to work perfectly. Now, they don't. I ess running the stock TouchWiz but now I'm on CM10. Could that be the problem? I will select the C2DM in Friendcaster, go through the process of entering my email and password, then nothing. It used to say that the registration was successful. Now it doesn't. I will then exit out of everything then go back in to check and the selection will be back to periodic polling.
it worked! Thank you very much!

I have had this same problem for over a year now, they wouldn't work on my iPhone iPad android phones or tablets. It has nothing to do with resetting anything, clearing caches, reinstalling or restoring. There is an app that you have connected to your Facebook which has blocked your notifications.
Head into your Facebook app and click on account settings, click on the apps button and turn all platforms off. Close the app in your multitask by double clicking your home button and closing the app from there. Get someone send you a test and bam.... Notifications I never thought I would see a Facebook notifications ever again! Head back into your settings and turn platforms back on. Your apps will be gone but once you use an app and connect with Facebook everything will be there again. Worked with Cydia and all my paid apps were in my account again!
Hope this works for everyone to get their notifications back!!

If the problem is caused by an app, yes, it would. But for many that's not the root of the issue, so it's not correct to say it has nothing to do with… Anyway, thanks for contributing with a new solution.

No probs, but I have read through so many forums all having the Same problems and people always giving the same answers, restoring whole fone, getting new fone, updating software, clearing caches, reinstalling the app blah blah blah and the solution I have found fixed mine and many other devices, friends and other forums. So generally it's an app that they have connected to fb that has conflicted with notifications. Instead of going through 1 by one which I tried and everything else, turning off all then starting from scratch completely restored mine and brought it back to normal!

Hi
Found a solution that worked for me so thought I'd share here.
I was using FB 1.9.1 from an old Titanium Backup I kept on my Sgs1 and after setting up Zeam launcher and disabling some system and memory hogs like Google Play Svcs I thought I'd give the newer FB app a go.
Sure enough I stopped getting push notifications.
However rest of notifications on phone kept working, email, gtalk etc.
Then it occurred to me the push notification system might prefer to send notifications to the device rather than the account.
By which I mean every android device had an Android ID supposedly linked to the physical device itself.
I thought of this after noticing that whenever my phone should be popping up a notification that I just sent to mu account from another GB accpunt, namely a chat message, OS monitor would always show a peak of activity before relaxing again and nothing actually happening.
The rush was already happening when notifications were still working.
(I had previously used the newer fB app before and did get notifications to work.)
So i had a close look at Titanium Backup Account settings, and my Google Play store settings, and found out both were *not* using the *main* Google account my phone is linked to.
After which I set both G Mkt and Tit bkp to the right main Google account and immediately after, I updated FB app through G Market.
Hey presto, notifications came back!

I am assuming that anyone with this problem has at one point rooted and installed Blackmart, AdBlock, AdAway or Freedom. If not this may not work for you.
I installed Root Commander then went into \System\etc and deleted the hosts file. Using lucky patcher I cleared dalvik cache and rebooted. Then I factory reset my phone and VOILA all push notifications are now working after nearly 4 months. I hope you get your phones working without having to flash your ROM.

I had the same problem, i could not receive the push notification on my nexus 4 and also on my ipad and i think i finally figured out how to correct that. took a minute. log in on a desktop browser check your email notifications: It needs to be at least "important notifications". After that you should be able to open the app and select what kind of push notifications to receive. i am sure that will not help everyone as there are different things that can block push notification but it's still something to look into.
