As I'm not allowed to post in the Dev section I'll try it here...
I have successfully installed Thor Gapps, it's an awesome piece of work. The only thing I'm missing is adding other than Google accounts, e.g. I'd like to add an ActiveSync (Exchange) account to sync email and calendar. I installed a stock settings app but it still only shows Google accounts. Did I do something wrong or is this version just not supporting anything else?
Thanks.

My TP lost the Google calendar sync after upgrade to CM9 Alpha 1.
I can not find any sync item for Google calendar on setting menu --> Accounts & sync ! please see my attach file on this post !
Anyone got same problem
i just noticed the same thing as well
Mine is just the opposite, never synced very well on 0.6 but now it works really well. I think it's the gapps, I flashed the one I downloaded with aokp after installing alpha 1.
Try flashing the gapp fixer utility, the link is in the dev forum. This fixed the problem for me.
Thanks for help
Now the Google calendar sync is back normal sync with my gmail account !
I was install gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11 with A0.6
after upgrade A1 the Google calendar sync got problem and lost !
and than I try install gapps-ics-20111230, google calendar sync still got problem and lost.
and then I try install gapps_fixer, google calendar sync is back.
I do believe that gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11 is not working very well with ICS on TP.
Just rooted yesterday. I was hoping to be able to use my Google calendar but the sync isn't working. Is their an easy way to fix this? I was an old thread in the development section but it looked pretty complicated.
I was on 1.4.2 B&N when I rooted with alberts 4.5 version and it is working great ... except for the calendar sync.
Did you enable it under Account settings? If you can't find that, try installing the Hidden Settings app in the dev forum.

Yes but there is an error message with just the calendar sync the others work fine
Odd, it worked for me (I've since moved on to CM7). Perhaps try clearing data on the calendar app. Have you opened the app itself? Perhaps you need to define the calendars you want in the app before going to account settings.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still not having any luck. The error message reads: sync is currently experiencing problems and will be back shortly. I'be used bussness calendar free and somnolence calendar I,'m pretty sure the issue is not with the applications. I downloaded synker but that gives me error messages also for the android calendar. I,'m going to keep trying eventually it will get sorted.
i'm having exact same issue as op. any progress on this sync issue?
everything else is syncing fine.
I was having the same problem. I could never get calendar sync under accounts.
I'm currently using CalenGoo with no problems. It's in the play store, and older versions are out there on the interwebs.
Another thing to try is to download the latest CM7 GAPPs package from the CM wiki ( google: CM7 GAPPs ---n00bs can't post links) extract the files and sideload the GoogleServicesFramework.apk (Not sure, but it seems to have given me access to more apps without incompatibility messages from the Play store and to have generally smoothed out some sync issues I was having with Google Docs)
I'm NOT on CM7 (tried it, now naively waiting for beta) I'm 1.4.2 rooted with Albert's excellent 4.5 version.

After using the v4.6 root I added two files the Calendar apk and the CalendarProviders apk, but I had to get them from two different places to get it to work.
I can share the files in dropbox, but I am on the NT right now and since copy and paste doesn't work I can't paste the link. If you send me an email I can use the Share function and I am happy to.

Disbable.calendar syncing even if its getting an error. The files need to be copied to /system/app directory and then you need to reboot the device. After reboot enable the sync options again and it should work. In the calendar app you need to then enable calendar visibility for each calendar you want to see.
Some new information... I just recently had to totally wipe my Nook Tablet and start over. When I did what I just said to do, it didn't work. Found out that Calendar.apk should be copied to the system/app directory then CalendarProvider.apk beds to be installed. I don't actually know if either of them need to be in system/app but this.process is what it got it back up and running for me after having to redo my tablet.
I'm also trying to sync (no success until now) Google Calendar after I've moved my Defy into CM9 (build 2012.5.29, kernel CM9). I've tried all sorts of things: flashing different Gapps (newer, older), wiping cache/dalvik, but all I could get was an error message "Google Calendar Sync Has Stopped".
The only thing I did not try was a downgrade to Froyo Kernel.
Any one has find a workaround/solution?
Hello Everyone. I have a Samsung Captivate Glide i927 (AT&T). It was running Omni ROM 4.4 but since the latest Google Play Services update keeps 'crashing' the phone (multiple pop-ups stating that Google Play Services has stopped), I have decided to go back to stock ICS 4.0.4
The problem now is that my Google account isn't syncing properly. My contacts, calendar, Keep notes are unable to sync. I keep getting an error that states that 'Sync is having problems.' I also can't connect to the Google account from certain apps like WhatsApp & SwiftKey keyboard and as a result, I can neither back my chats to Google Drive nor download my customs words for the SwiftKey keyboard app. I can however use the Google Drive app normally. The Play Store also works properly.
I have done everything that I can think of (& read online). They are:
1. Deleting the Google Play Services cache.
2. Emptied the phone's cache. I also formatted it & the Dalvik cache in CWM.
3. Removed my Google account from the phone. Restarted & added the Google account.
4. Reset the phone to factory settings.
5. Re-flashed the official/stock 4.0.4 ROM by using Odin.
6. Changed my Google account password to 'force' everything to 'reset' and resync.
7. I have added a hash prefix to the localhost IP address in the hosts file in the 'etc' folder. I have also deleted it.
Syncing still doesn't work for those services. I am at my wit's end. Please can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks.
NB: I posted this question in the Samsung i927 section but there was no answer or comment.

Anyone? Pls
When I try to create account there is no exchange option, don't wanna use Outlook app because it's using proprietary format for data not possible to share with other apps, need it especially for contacts syncing. Is there some version of Exchange services which could I just install and make Exchange account available?
Extract and install the e-mail apk from 7.1 NOS zip (or get it from here). It works on other 8.1 ROMs too

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
flash mini gapps, have exchange services (for gmail for example)
in the end I just installed gmail and disabled built in email, but thanks for tip with Mini gapps, always installing pico, this is useful
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T). I recently installed Lineage OS 15.1, which seemed to work great at first. But I realized my Google and other calendars weren't working.
Here are some things I tried that didn't work:
- Reboot and factory reset
- I looked at accounts under Settings->Users and Accounts, the 'Sync Calendar' option was missing.
- Tried to hit 'Add Account' in the Calendar app, but the button does not work. When I try to add an event, the app takes me to a log in screen where I can enter my Google username. But after I enter it, the app simply says 'This account already exists'.
- This morning, I installed a new ROM -- AospExtended 8.0, but all of the above problems still persisted! I still don't see the option to sync calendar under accounts in my device.
What do I need to do to get the calendar working again?
EDIT (ANSWER): I realized the GAPPs installer that I had using was not installing the calendar properly. Downloaded new GAPPs installer for my phone and the calendar now works like a charm!
