[Q] Facebook contact syncing

Rooted 6.2.2: I have the FB app installed from the market. Is there a way to have the contacts sync with FB like on the phone? Is there a FB contact sync adapter similar to the googlecontacts and calendar sync adapters? I have those currently working.
Thanks

When I installed it the app asked me if I wanted to sync on first run.
Check under settings>accounts & sync. There should be a setting for it there. (there is in mine)

In the FB app I don't have a accounts & sync option. In the sync settings for the Fire there are no settings for FB, only google.

Have you tried removing it and re-installing? When I first ran it after installation it gave me 3 options for syncing... all FB contacts, existing contacts, or none.
Either something didn't install right, or 6.2.2 is blocking a component. I'm running the ICS ROM, and it worked with CM7 as well.

Thanks for the reply. I uninstalled the app, the fb app does not show up for me in either the market or Amazon market. I think when I installed it before I had backed up and sideloaded it from my phone.
Any suggestions?

If you sideloaded it is it still in the /sdcard directory so you can install it again? Or did you delete it afterwards?

Good thinking....I installed it again but it never asked about any syncing options.

If you are on stock its a no go as far as I know. Maybe if you installed account and sync settings but then you a, do not have the actual UI for the settings and b, the contacts app on stock is not the same app used on standard Android devices so neither the settings or the Facebook app you sideloaded will know how to talk to the amazon contacts app. I tried doing this also but then decided to go over to cm7,

Gotcha, and GO FLYERS
I am on the stock rom, and do have the sync settings app installed. There are settings there for google contacts and calender syc because I installed those two sync adapters to /system/app and changed the permissions. I thought maybe there was a similar sync adapter for facebook....but there is probably more to it.
No biggie.....thanks for the reply.

Calendar sync

I have my KF rooted and the aneroid market installed and running, and Google apps installed. Is there a way to get my Google calendar to sync to my kindle?

Which Google apps do you have installed, do you have your Gmail synced? That should allow you to sync your calendar
Go into your "Account & Sync Settings" and make sure calendar is checked marked
Report back

Account and sync settings on my computer? On the kindle there is no account and sync settings. Yes I have Gmail synced on my kf.

as far as i know you have to add GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk to system/app - set permissions like the others and reboot - then gmail mail & calender sync should work ...

There is an account sync settings app you can get from the market, out it is included in the iffy utility. You also need the calendar sync adapter which you can get from another Android device or the iffy utility.

there are a lot of settings on the kf we cannot access but there is a app on the market called "any cut" - with this app you can link the hidden settings to a shortcut on the desktop - any cut -> new shortcut -> activity -> Account & Sync Settings
there are a lot of others like keyboard, display, search ...

I tried the any cut app and now I have it all.set up. But I think you are right about the apks. Do you know where I can get them? And better yet..... what do I do with them? All I have done is root my kindle and followed the you tube video in how to get the market on my kindle.

I think the calendar files you're looking for might be in the gapps.zip file from this thread. Just follow the instructions.

Here's the sync settings app, install this and then you can add your gmail account and etc
I've also attached the Google Calendar in case you might need it, you can install all of them

Awesome! Thanks. It seems that I am no longer rooted?! Is it possible that while my 3 year old was playing around with my kf she unrooted it? Odd....my android marketplace still works, its just that root checker is saying I am no longer rooted. Will start from scratch in the morning.
Thanks again.

Hmmm, did you have root access after you received the 6.2.2. update?

There's no need to be rooted in order to install the apks I provided. You may have become unrooted because you finally received the newest update, it's possible I don't know if that is why though

Google Calendar Sync problem

Does anyone have issues with syncing google calendar on newer Flyme versions as well???
It says syncing, but nothing shows up in calendar.

I'm on version 1.0.3 quad core, syncs fine.

if the sync isn't working try disable/enable the sync or delete the account restart and add account again. after a few times it should work. one user said it worked after he disabled the google recovery feature. i reported this issue to meizu already.

Google Calendar Sync
Hi Everyone, this is my first post.
I too have the same calendar sync problem with the new Meizu MX2. I have tired everything that people have posted and still nothing is working. Google Calendar still crashes all the time and the Meizu Calendar still does not show my calendar even though it says it has synced.
Anyone have any suggestions??
Many Thanks

Default calendar not syncing with my gmail

I tried to sync with Google calendar from Settings/Google account, it says synced but when I go into the default Calendar app and refresh the calendar is still blank with no entries.
Did lot of settings and cleared data under Calendar in Apps and enabled/disabled and re-synced as well but nothing is working. Also followed this but it didnt helped either.
What can be done??
My phone calendar still shows just one test entry I had created.
Rest my phone is working fine.

I thought so too, but I found out that entries are just not marked. For example i have important thing on 09. of february (which i synced with google on my old phone) and it wasn't marked. I tried and tried everything, but the last thing I did is click on that date to realise the event is there and synced, but just not shown in color.

@nri_tech1183 as stated in your link you just need to clear data and cache for Calendar Storage app. Then enter Calendar app and wait a few seconds, all should be fine.
If issue isn't gone try another calendar app to see how it behaves.

I had to install Google Kalender first. After that I was able to enable the different calenders that I use in google. Now I have 2 calenders installed. I might just get rid of the Sony calender. One is more that enough...

that's exactly what I did in my all-in-one rom
from my changelog:
Google calendar replacing sony's (can't really get used to sony one, too laggy and slow!! plus to sync my birthdays it requires me to install the Google one first so i think it is time to replace it completely.. )

edit: if interested, to completely get rid of sony calendar you can just delete "SemcCalendar" and "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter" (not needed for Google Calendar) from /system/app

Calendar not show Google Account. No Calendar Sync on Settengs->Accounts (China ROM)

Calendar not show Google Account. No Calendar Sync on Settengs->Accounts (China ROM)
Hello. Anybody here also has problem with showing google account on Calendar?
Already installed the official Google Calendar app but it also only shows "local account" on the calendar account settings.
I already did almost all the clearing, uninstalling, and restarting stuff I found after searching but still the issue exists.
All other Google services (Contacts, Maps, Drive, Keep) are working/syncing okay except the Calendar.
Would appreciate any ideas.

My Google Calendar {option does not even appear}
This is the same issue for me with the JOYUI rom.
When I look into permission manager or battery management, I always allow "googleCalendarSync" and all other google services to be check. Especially for autostart features. However, I just can't seem to get the calendars to sync. When I look it over under accounts> google> calendar does not appear at all. I have contacts, play services etc but not for calendar? Does anyone know what is wrong with it ? or has a fix assuming its googleCalendarSync issue?

You have a Chinese version that does not support Google sync!

Anyone solved tbis issue?

Hmm.. Never had that problem with mine. I'm not sure if this would help, but try installing a Google Contact Sync app. I forgot if this was something I installed separately after having Google Play.

Did you manully install Google Apps or you use the Google Apps Installer from the Mi Store?

Finally, I got it working! I've uninstalled the Google Calendar Sync that has been installed by the Google Installer for Mi devices and voila, it now syncs! That Google Calendar Sync is the culprit! LOL. I wish I've done it months ago.

Hey guys! Eyes here!
1. Uninstall any existing installed Google Calendar Sync in the "Manage App".
2. Install Google Calendar. Allow all permissions.
3. Download and install the latest Google Calendar Sync by searching for the apk on Google. Mine was (as of writing).
Google Calendar Sync 6.0.44-267540251-release
4. Install the apk. In the app settings, enable "Autostart" and other permissions necessary in the "Manage App" in Settings.
5. In "Accounts & Sync" > "Google" > make sure that "Calendar" and "Google Calendar" are all checked.
6. Restart your phone for good practice and make sure everything is working.
7. Done.

Can you please explain to me exactly what have I to do with my phone? I don't understand what is "Google Calendar Sync" and how can I remove it. I looked for some information and I couldn't find anything. My phone (OnePlus Nord 2) doesn't allow me to uninstall Google Calendar. Only the updates.
Thanks a lot.
EDIT: I finally could uninstall Google Calendar using ADB but when I install it again I continue owning the "Local Account"
