[Q] Help Dear Elelinux. V2.3.4 only has Google Calendar - Hero, G2 Touch General

Sorry I couldnt reply to elelinux's original post of realsing the
[ROM]Elelinux-7.1.0-RC1-Hero-v3.0 Android 2.3.4 (2011-07-16)
as a newbee.
Like titled in this post, I've found at least three of us reporting the bug, could anyone including elelinux please help to figure this out? It seems already happended since a very old realse back to Feb this year...
an earlier one found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932377&page=97
Hello,
I'm really happy with this Rom, thank you to all participating on it!
One issue I found:
I cannot create another calendar with the calendar App. I only have the Google-calendar which is synchronising fine with my Google-account, but I would like to have a second offline-one.
Any suggestions how to add another calendar?
(normally you do it in the calendar app with the dialogue "my calendars")
Cheers, Otze

Hello,
coming from Cronos 2.2.0.0 Sense Éclair, I am using this ROM for a few days now and I am very happy with it. The only problem I have so far is the calendar, the same like Otze in post 965. There is only the Google calendar but I need the local Android calendar. Is this a HTC Sense feature or am I doing something wrong?
Any hints are welcome.
Joe

So people just read and never reply...

Hi guys, it's really like this,
when you flashed the elelinux 2.3.4 ROM, by default the feature of auto sync is not automatically enabled(activitated?) after you setting up either gmail or corporate mail accounts. Before you enable, you can only find gmail calendar in any style of calendar or agenda application. Even when you click on the accounts and manually sync them will make no change. So to summar up, the only thing need to do, is to enable the auto sync feature at least one to let all of your calendar and agenda software aware that you have your own calendar besides Gmail calendar. And I dont know if this is a bug or not... Hope elelinux saw this post!

Glad you solve it!
By the way, if people didn't answer you, it's very likely they didn't know what was the issue..

Manila Facebook contacts bug

I have few contacts with link to their facebook accounts (with photos, birthdays synced etc.). It works normal. But it fails if someone closed their facebook account, or banned from facebook for some reason etc.
- If you go to updates & events tab (in the all contacts), manila crashes.
- If you update anything with facebook, manila crashes.
(Every second crash requires soft reset.)
I dont know if it mentioned before. If so, sorry. I am using Dutty's WM 6.5 R10, but I think its manila related. Someone should fix it.

Always use that thread what rom you are using. In this case you'll have to go to another forum, and this is right thread -> http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=313

Please dont be rude. .You said you had this in one rom, so you should really keep it in the thread related to that rom. That's the basic ettiquette of this forum..
as to "someone should fix this" what exactly do you expect?
you're using a not even beta piece of software that's been leaked from a device that hasn't even been announced never mind have support for, that you didnt pay for!
try this..
delete facebook*.vol in and try again
This issue is cause when having a lot of friends on facebook.
I had the same problem in dutty's rom, but on Leo's rom, I did not have this problem!
its not in one rom. and its not causing by too many friends, it have to just end link between contact and facebook account when user does not exist. deleting .vol is a workaround, i know about this. but its still an annoying bug. (i had it leo's rom also)
Tried unticking the troublesome contact when you go to select which contacts to sync?
This has nothing to do with rom development
Thread relocated to general discussion

It can fix the problem. BUT if you have hundrets of contacts, then you have to know which one is troublesome. And you must check one by one, since you dont know which is.

I use EboBirthday... Free in market...
I have loaded yet all the birthday in the calendar, ebobirthday handles that or I have to reload everything?
ebobirthday gives you alert? I don't want the applet but the notify

I have this problem too - id much prefer a reminder a few days before and the actual day? Maybe its something to do with using outlook instead of google for calendar
If anyone has got around this please advise. It maybe worth looking in the Hero forum as they have the same calendar app on the hero.

Can't be because of Outlook, I entered all birthday's manually and it reminds me a month before. Tried reentering all of them, no luck.
I installed ebobirthday that syncronyze itself with the calendar, I have to test it well but seems fine.

sync calendars form icalx.com with my HD2

Hello Guys!
First of all: Excuse my English, I'll try my best
Well, since yesterday I'm a proud owner of a HD2 and I'm slowly trying to get
everything fitted to my needs
I installed CHT, SecureW2 for WPA2-Enterpise access and so on, also my e-mail stuff works fine.
But I'm not able to find out if its possible to make my phone use my ical calendar file which I've stored on icalx.com.
This file is used by my laptop and desktop PC as well, but i do not really want to synchronize with Thunderbird Lightning all the time, I just want my HD2 to use the published file as well so that it is always up to date, so that i do not need to synchronize it every day.
Anyone knows if there a way to do that?
(I'm really sorry if I missed something similar using the search fuction, I only found problems related to syncing with thunderbird)
Oo falling off the first page goes pretty quick here!
Anyways...another question i have is: Is HTC Calender an application itself or is it just a graphical interface for the outlook calendar? I mean Outlook should be able to ready .ics or am I wrong here?
as theer are more users online now...I'll give it a last try.
Is there really nobody who has tried this before? I always had the impression that this is a common way to sync ones calendars

First of all: Your English is excellent!
And concerning your question: Have your read this thread? I'm not sure if it is what you are looking for. Also, I found this, which looks promising as well.
EDIT: LOL - this is a featured article on the xda-developers front page today: http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/icalendar-appointmentstasks-icalparse/ What a coincidence?
this is really LOL!
But thanks a lot, I'm already trying it out and despite a minor bug it seems to work quiet well!

[Q] Samsung Froyo & calendar sync

I have developed a small app which adds events to the phones built-in calendar. It works fine with Froyo on Nexus One and with HTC Sense etc.
But the Samsung Froyo update seems to be different. The events are added, but not synced to the Google calendar. You have to edit the entered event manually, after that it will be synced.
I searched the forum and found similar issues from users, but no real solution.
Anybody out there who can give me a hint, what I have to change in my sourcecode to start syncing on Samsung again?
Regards,
bingi

[Q] A litle too annoyed about missing java on optimus 7

Guys! I have a litle (big for me) problem: I really miss a few java apps and I wanna know how the heck can I port those on my beloved optimus 7? This phone doesn't support java, but I believe that some apps can be ported! Can I find a tutorial about this??? I will atach a java file that I wanna put on my phone, maybe a kind gent developer may look at it and tell me at least if is possibile! Thanks in advance and please, don't let a poor noob to stay in the dark!
I'm sorry to disappoint you but there's no way you can run java on wp7. There is no java runtime in wp7.
The only thing that would be possible is to build the app from scratch in silverlight. It shouldn't be that had if you know some C# and you have the source code fro the desired java app. But i think building a sinaxar app it's pretty easy if using some specific web services or API. Maybe you should look into building your own simple app instead of porting the java one. You can find many tutorials on wp7 developing and it is easier than you might think.
PS: Have you searched for Orthodox Calendar on Marketplace?
PPS: I have an idea that might work: Search for an orthodox holiday calendar in ical format. You should be able to find some online. Download the ical and sync it with your exchange calendar. Then sync the exchange calendar with your phone. The calendar should be on your phone this way. So you don't need a sinaxar, because you have the orthodox holidays in your phones calendar. I think this should work with google calendar or msn calendar as well.
Orthodox calendar is more about russian and not romanian! Already tried it! I've syncronized my windows live calendar with an .ics one, but now I'm facing another trouble: yahoo mail account not working! Keep asking me for the correct password! Tried to delete it and create another one, but does not work. I've tried with advanced settings and on INCOMING mail had pop.mail.yahoo.com, tried again with imap.mail.yahoo.com, but nothing seems to work!

Hey,
I would recommend using google calendar or exchange (if you have one) for sync. Yahoo is known for issues, and Hotmail... i have no experience with that. But with the first two it works great.
Problem solved. Imap was the problem. Thanx a lot, but I still miss a lot at least a java emulator
