Samsung put their own calendar app on the phone, but I want Google Calendar. I tried going to application settings to set a default, but there is no default set for either calendar. Am I stuck with it until someone creates a stock rom without the bloatware or is there something I'm missing?
Download the Google Calendar from the Play Market..its there..

Just updated to biffmod 2.0.1 - Leaving on a jet plane. Everything works great and I had a clean install. I was situating my phone apps etc and I remember I needed to add an appointment to the calendar.
I went to add a calendar event, I get a message:
"/!\ No calendars - You have no calendars."
When i go to the Calendar App> Menu> More> Calendars, i see that i indeed have no calendars.
Is there a fix for this? Cause I kinda need this functioning.
Are you logged into Google?
Is sync is enabled?
If not have you forced calendars to sync lately?
Is there a calendar at https://www.google.com/calendar for you?
Answers
1)Are you logged into Google?
I don't have a data plan but I have done so through wifi.
2)Is sync is enabled?
I manually enable it when I'm at a hotspot on campus.
3)If not have you forced calendars to sync lately?
How do i force calendars to sync?
4)Is there a calendar at google dot com / calendar for you?
There is a calendar associated with the e-mail address I'm using, yes.
Fix
The only way I was able to fix this was to redo the clean install of BiffMod 2.0.1
If anyone is searching for a solution to this problem, I suggest you back your stuff up, wipe it, install your mod of choice from scratch, and re-customized your phone back to the way it was.
I had no option under Accounts & Sync to even sync a calendar.
I've looked all over google and forums and there really is no fix for the problem that anyone has come up with including ADB Pushes. Factory reset that sucker and start from scratch.
Hi,
is it possible to create a local calendar on defy without creating a google account or add a google account in android?
So we can use the android calendar 2.2.1 as a local calendar?
Can we create the database an use it or must there be a google account insert in android?
Andy ideas?
Possible?
Big thanks
dont think you can effectively use it without a google account as the android market requires one, for the minimum.
however, you can disable calendar sync so it essentially becomes a local calendar.
if you rooted, you can even remove the calendarsyncadapter.apk to make sure it cannot sync with google.
Try Jorte instead of Google Calendar. It have local database.

I know this is quite old already. Yet this suggestion is quite useless to me, so the question of the TO is still not quite solved: To get Jorte you need a google account again (to access the market/play store). Any solutions? There is no market on my device/rom, and I'm not eager to install one either.
Thanks, MW
The standard calendar app doesnt show all calendars. If I add new calendars though there are shown in the standard Calendar app.
Weird enough some third party apps do allow to select all other gmail app calendars, but they are marked as inactive?
How do i get teh calendar to sync all Gmail Apps Calendars?
Weird, when I go into the calendar settings and click calendars, all of them show up.

With google calender the first time the sync occurs, it happnes with the calenders that are enabled google calendar on the web.
Here is what u can do .
1. Go to google.com/calendar and make all the calendars visible
2. In phone - settings /manage applications delete the data from calendar and calender storage.
3. then settings / accounts and sync - re sync calendar.
Now all the calenders will come in calendar app in phone.
Select the ones that u want.
Thanky you
I tried your method of deleting the data and then re-syncing the accounts. But, now even the main calendar from my google account has disappeared and refuses to show up. Is there something missing here??? Cal widget for example shows all the calendars in its configurations but does not show any of the events from the same.
there is something wrong with the default calendar. I am running stock rom xxki3.
Hi, I had similar issue, i think this is one of known issue on android, I tried "clear data" method, sometimes it may work, sometime it doesnt. I google for solution and I found this temporary workaround would solve the issue, atleast for me..
you may want to try this:-
1. Go to android setting, application (all), clear data on calendar storage (WARNING-this step will wipe all calendar entries which were saved internally on your phone)
2. Go to market, download & install this app called: Business calendar (FREE)
(This app have direct connection to google calendar, which will also download and keep all of your calendars entries (including sub calendars)
3. Open business calendar, login with your gmail account, and it will start sync
(manual: more > sync now) it may take few mins, be patient.
this way, your stock or default calendar will get synced as well automatically...try this out
Thanks for the tip. After selecting the sub-calendars on the app, the default calendar also started recognizing the same. Weird.....
This tips is working.
First time, this doesn't work, I had to erase my google account (by the way to refresh my apps ^^).
But the second time, it worked.

I think this is a bug in Samsung Calendar app. The first time the phone synchronize with google calendar, the phone will download all calendars available for the google account. Each calendar has two flags, sync and visible. The first time, all calendars will be flag unsync and hidden (not visible) except our main calendar. After that we can use the calendar app to choose which calendar will be sync and visible. The problem with Samsung Calendar app, if the calendar is flagged as hidden, then the Calendar apps won't recognize the calendar at all, so we can't change the flag to visible. This does not happen with my other phone. So this is not Android bug. I think this bug exist since Samsung Galaxy S. Someone in Galaxy S use sql editor to edit the calendar database. Meanwhile I use Calengoo. Bussiness Calendar can be used as well
So it appears that contacts requires gallery to add or change a contacts picture. I uninstalled gallery and when I try to change a picture it says application not found. Is there any way I can change the contacts apk to allow me to use something like quickpic?
If you store your contacts on google, you can go into your gmail account, and add picture to your contacts there instead. It should sync back to your phone automatically.
I'm not sure, but if you go into apps under settings and clear the default, you may be able to setup a different app for that function.

Installed new ROM tinkered around with it a bit by deleting useless crap (useless samsung stuff which included calendar). Possibly deleted the calendar sync agent or whatever it's called. Now my google calendar is blank and the account has no calendar sync option/checkbox. When in calendar settings the calendars to display option only shows Loading and no progress. Tried restoring the backups of calendar and all the samsung stuff I deleted = nothing. Deleted and reinstalled it off the Play Store still nothing. Wanted to recover my ROM backup but that decided to delete itself off my card (different story)
So how do I restore my calendar to working condition??? Read something about Calendar Storage and Calendar Sync Agent. Could that be the issue?

You can flash your current Rom again, maybe it will help. If not, it's an issue caused by the calender app i guess
