Disable sync, remove sync folders - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I don't want to sync anything with Google or Samsung. I have a galaxy note.
I don't have sync enabled but I see a Samsung account folder in the Android browser favourites. There is nothing inside, but how can I remove this folder?
I already uninstalled the Google and Samsung sync applications with titanium backup but the folder is still there.
Regards,
Stevie

I found the solution myself. The same hint how to remove favorites which can't be deleted worked for the folder too.
I deleted the data of the browser. Then all favorites are deleted and when I restart the browser Google tries to connect and place it's folder with favorites. This can be aborted with the back key. Then there shouldn't be a Google folder.

[VZW] Rooted Razr - Contacts Storage FC (answer not in other threads!)

Folks,
So I rooted by new Razr and decided to clean up the bloatware, but instead of smart way of just freezing the app I used uninstall in Titanium Backup. Among the apps that I removed were Yahoo Mail Authenticator 2.3.5 and Yahoo Contacts 2.3.5. That, judging by posts I've found, caused my contacts to become inaccessible, with FC message for Contacts Storage (com.motorola.contacts).
Can somebody with a brand new (rooted) Verizon phone share the list of contents of their /system/app directory with file sizes and dates? I want to compare what you have with what I have now. BTW, I got my list of files by installing SSHDroid, logging into it with ssh doing ls -l.
Thanks!
I did the same thing, did you get any resolution to this? I was able to download the files I think I needed and installed root explorer to paste them into the system\apps folder. I can find the files in there but my contacts shortcuts widget still force closes. I would really appreciate any help I can get here!
You have to make sure that the permissions on copied files are 644 (rw-r--r--) and the owner/group is root.
That worked! Man you really saved my night!!!
I've done all of that and contacts still fc. any ideas?
When all else fails, this will fix issues:

[Q] - Restore calendar sync service

I got a little overzealous in titanium backup and removed the calendar sync service, now calendar wont sync (nerp)
I have tried to reinstall rom (no wipe) and remove/reinstall calendar but no luck.
Any ideas on how to get this installed again, i have no backup.
Look for a gapps package for whatever version of Android you have and either flash it or extract and push the calendar provider apk to system/app, make sure the apk permissions are correct (644), then reboot.

Google Calender not loading

Hello,
So I have a Galaxy S2 running Android 4.0.4 and I rooted the phone and started uninstalling some apps... I decided to remove the calendar app since I though it was completely separate from Google Calendar but it turned out that it wasn't and now I can't use Google Calendar. I tried to copy the calendar file from my HTC ONE S phone also running Android 4.0.4 but it didn't work. Not sure how I can recover my calendar.
I believe I need Calender Storage or CalendarProvider.apk because one of the calendar apps I installed said it could not create local calendar. I also coppied that file from my htc to my galaxy /system/app/ directory but I guess it's not the same file because it didn't work.
If you have a Galaxy S2 please send me these two files Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk.

Google Contacts - Syncing Issue

Hey,
I'm using Temasek's CM13 v4.3 with blu_spark r94.
I had install gapps from opengapps.org and got all but the contacts app connected with my Google account with no issue. Running the app brings me to a Google service login that will not let me login for my account "already exist on [my] device". The Accounts settings page and Google's sync shows no problem occurring and even has the Peoples confirming a sync.
It is as if I have no contacts on my Google account; I do.
A factory reset and updated gapps as well as grabbing Contacts from the app store shows no success. Is anyone else experiencing this strange mess or has an idea what is wrong?
I had this issue too, but after I waited a few hours (with wifi in) the issue was gone. Do you already looked online on the google contacts site? Maybe you really not have any contacts?
Sorry for my Bad english
Ciao
Fix
Caused by a bad apk in the package
Manually extract the apk from nano and put it in it's own folder in priv-apps

Thanks for the help. I tried but still do not work.
Will try with another GApps package tonight.
This worked for me ... Gapps missing Google Contacts Sync in the package
I found a solution. The problem is that the Open Gapps is missing or not installing the package Google Contacts Sync, which is needed for contacts to sync properly.
Install this apk:- apkmirror com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts-sync/google-contacts-sync-6-0-release/google-contacts-sync-6-0-2280749-android-6-0-android-apk-download/
(Add . after www and apkmirror)
And in Settings > Apps, enable the Contacts permission for Google Contacts Sync. Remove your Google account, reboot, and then re-add and your contacts should sync.

Notes from "samsung notes" recovery after uninstalling the app

Hi,'
I had some important notes in my S-notes app. unfortunately, I didn't backup those files.
I unisltalled the app and then reinstalled it.
When I'm trying to import files from the application settings it says- "no files found" (tried all the options, from device from google account and so forth).
The "com.samsung.android.app.notes" folder on the SD card is empty.
There is some way to revocer this data? some application you can recommend me for?
