Calendar sync option missed

Hi
I have a problem with the calendar sync option, it doesnt show at all in my account options, I've already tried deleting the calendar storage apps data but no luck on finding the option =s
Is there a way to restore that? I got it after flashing the SIII mod but there hasnt been reported an error on that and there is apparently no other problem with this rom.
Thanks in advance for the help

First check if the calendar entries are there - PC > gmail account.
If there aren't any entries, it's a bit strange and it seems like sync wasn't active before.
If it's there, delete the gmail account from phone an add it again.
Because the restore from Titanium there can be two reasons for not working:
- the calendar app version change with firmware (maybe from ics to jb or gb to ics?!)
- there wasn't a entry set, which can be the reason for no entry from gmail sync

So this what I said with compatibility...
So u must restore ur calendar settings on GB.
Then for sure u can't directly sync them because it's local.
So u must try to bring them in the google calendar....
I've to say that I didn't do it til know so can't say how, but maybe there is an option like "import/export to calendar" or kind of it.
After this synch again...
Hope I made it a bit clearer now...

will try this.... thanks..
Try MyPhoneExplorer.
Some of the events are on device calendar, so they don't appear in GCalendar.
AFAIK, MPE can backup/restore all calendars present on device.

I made a backup of my calendar, memo, contacts etc when I was on Gingerbread before upgrading to JB 4.1.2 on my S2. After upgrade I successfully restored memo and everything except Calendar i.e "S Planner". Kies shows that it have successfully restored the calendar but I cant see any events on my S2. I also did a restart but no change.. Not even 1 event have been restored...!!! Please Help...I badly want to restore my events...
But I just updated my kies and after that its not even successfully restoring it..it just goes to 50% and when I select "Transfer all events" to restore it reaches 97% and gives a message "Stopped loading GT-I9100's S Planner"... what do I do now ??
In both situation I still cant see any events restored on my device..!!! Or else ...Is there a way to view the "Calendar.ssc" backup file ..so that I can atleast view the events ?
Thank You..

Right sorted now, my calendar wasnt syncing with google as my agenda's were saved under My Calendar and not my google account. you can make a backup using ICal however from play store. I will just have to re-enter my calendar entries again saving under my account.

Notification problem on SK17i- logs attached

Hey,
Since month I am using my SK17i with always newest nightly, full wiped, freshly installed with sd2ext partition and tons of apps. Everything is fine, expept I cant change the notification sound in "hangouts", "gmail" and "exchange eMail". I go to this apps, settings, tick on "notification" set a new one but its still the "standard" one.
I got some logs and hope someone can help me finding the mistake. Definitely, after so many ROMs/nightlys its not the ROM itself. Als I do always a fresh install and I also tried to not recieve the old settings from google.
thanks a lot for your help

[Q] From Stock ROM to CyanogenMod - import SMS, contacts etc.

This might be a rookie question, but here it goes:
1. What is the best way of saving contacts and SMS messages for transferring over to CyanogenMod? I have already saved them in a backup file with Samsung Kies (if that will work?).
2. Is it easy to go back to the stock ROM if I have the desire to do that?
3. With the stock ROM i have now, I tried to uninstall Skype and re-install it again. However, an error 24 popped up in Google Play, and I see that many others have problems with this occurring! I am apparently unable to install Skype again on my phone. How can I fix this still on the stock ROM?
Thanks for all the help,
- Steria
I did a factory reset (stock ROM) and Skype is now working again.
I plan on installing CyanogenMod in the nearest future, but I need to know:
1) How I can import my contacts and messages from stock to CyanogenMod, and
2) Whether it is easy to get the phone back to the stock ROM again if I choose to do so.
Edit: I looked through my SMS's on my phone, and noticed that many of the messages duplicated themselves, and many of my own replies in the conversations are gone (my conversation bubbles in the convos). How come? If anyone can help me with this as well, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't know about text messages, but contacts should be backed up to your Gmail account automatically. If not you can turn that setting on and you wont have to worry about them when formatting.
1) You should use the sync option under your google account settings, just sync your contacts that way and your contacts will follow you into every new android based phone you'll use.
For sms messages - the sms database is located at the following location:
Code:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
I admit that I never used it myself, but i'm pretty sure that this is what you're looking for.
2) Easy or not, it's up to you to decide.... use this guide.
3) I have no idea
