Hello
Since I have upgraded my S2 from GB v2.3.5 to ICS v4.0.4 stock ROM and rooted it, I have a problem with the calendar.
I'm using only the Android calendar (My calendar), not Google's one.
I create a new appointment --> OK
I try to modify it but I can't because the Edit choice is not available in the menu.
I noticed that :
- previously created entries are not affected,
- newly created entries using Outlook and synced with Kies are also not affected.
Those non affected entries can only be modified once, the Modify option disappears after first modification.
I've tried to change all the (few) options but without any success.
Could it be a permission's issue ? How to fix it ?
If you have any ideas, they will be much appreciated.

I would suggest looking into two things:
1/ Make sure the version of the calendar app you're using is the most updated one from the market. If not - try updating it and see if that helps
2/ You can try clearing data (just in case in your rom upgrade process something got confused in the data). You do that by going into settings > applications > all (or downloaded - it doesn't matter) > your calendar app > clear data. Reboot the phone and try again.
I hope it works
Solved !!!
I found the solution.
I cleared the data for the app named "Calendar storage" (caution, not "Calendar") and then every new entry in the calendar can be edited now, even after several modifications.
Of course, this clears all the entries you have in your local calendar.
So a backup before is necessary (Kies export or Kies sync with Outlook) to be able to restore it after and get your calendar data back.
Thanks to all.
Hope it will help those who are stuck like I was.
The thread status can be put to SOLVED and then be closed.
Same issue when upgrading from ICS to JB
Same issue when upgrading from ICS to JB : unable to edit any existing calendar entry.
So same solution with this little difference : as Calendar and Tasks have been merged into one app named "S Calendar", clearing data will act on both types.
So to recover data, it is necessary to clear Kies sync logs for both and then sync them again.

hey there,
i'm using galaxy s2 i9100 ressurection remix last version 2.1 and the latest kernel 3.2.8
i discovered today that i cant add contacts to ANY contact list, i installed some and i tried everything but i still can create new contacts to my list
please help me,
thank you very much
Try clearing data and cache of your Contacts apk from App Manager. If not, you can manually push the contacts.apk from a previous version of remix and save it on system/app. Last is to re-install the ROM full-wipe and all.

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.

Hello,
I recently flashed JellyBam ROM and updated from 2.0 > 3.0 > 3.1 > 3.2. I've also tried both the Dorimanx and the Siyah kernels, ensuring that I wipe cache/dalvik before flashing each. Everything had gone swimmingly and the ROM was/is terrific. However, since the latest update it appears that my default messaging application will no longer notify me of new messages (SMS). This doesn't appear to be a problem for anyone else.
I've checked the settings within the application (Notifications box is ticked and a ringtone is selected), and I've also checked the system settings > device > sound > default notification which has a ringtone selected.
Additionally, I have a widget called "Missed it!" installed which changes whenever I get a new SMS, but there is no notification / sound from the phone to acknowledge this.
I've reflashed the ROM after doing a 'wipe cache' and 'wipe dalvik cache' but to no avail. I've also tried to wipe the cache for the app from within the 'manage apps' section.
Any suggestions? Your time is greatly appreciated!
Regards
No ideas?
Bump...
Still nothing? Could someone move the query into the JellyBam thread on the i9100 page then please?
I cannot post in there yet as I haven't made 10 posts.
Download a new messaging app like GoSms.
Thanks for the response.
I used to use GO SMS, but since flashing the new ROM i found the default messaging app and it's theme to be pretty good.
Today, i've tried to do a factory wipe and re-flash the ROM but I used Titanium backup to reinstall my apps and the problem persists.
Im now a fan of whatsapp.Send pics for nowt.....
I also use Whatsapp, but it's still annoying that I cannot get the default messaging app to push notifications.
I am sorry i cannot help you in any way as i dont have a galaxy s2. But you can ask the rom developer to look into your problem.
I've fixed the problem now. Wasn't able to work out what the quick-fix was, so I ended up doing a complete factory wipe and reinstalling apps with Titanium Backup. Managed to download a Samsung App's apk that had "S-memo" so I have managed to save the memo's I had stored previously.
I had used the app System App Remover to remove some of the crapware that Sprint and Samsung bog down your phone with. In particular I use Google Calendar for my main calendar and I use it through Thunderbird too as well as Google's web app for calendar. I love that I can easily create events and wham they are right there on my phone too.
Now I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung puts it's own calendar app there and when you go into that calendar it wants you to set up a Samsung account, etc. I don't want a Samsung account and I'm quite happy staying with Google Calendar. So I tried to remove the Samsung portions of Calendar but leave the Google Calendar, etc. It is hard to tell which is which because they both simply use the name "Calendar". In any event I screwed up my Google Calendar on my Note 3.
Now this System app remover says it's safe or relatively safe and that it backs up any system app you remove in a "recycle bin" so you can reinstall it. So I go to the recycle bin and attempt to reinstall the Google calendar app I removed and it failed! I've talked to the developer and he's just perplexed and I'm out of a calendar on my phone!!!
I've tried reinstalling the Google Calendar app from the play store and while that succeeds I see no calendars being displayed. Here's some of the odd behavior I see:
When it starts it presents a month view with no events
Selecting Calendars to Display shows nothing
Selecting Calendars to Sync shows a blank page with Cancel and OK buttons but it says Loading forever!
Even though I have already signed into a Google account, if I try to add a Google account and supply my username and password it says that it had trouble contacting the Google Servers and to try again later. Of course later it does the same thing
If I go into my Settings and look at my Google account and what syncs I see no entry for Sync Calendar
If I try to make a new event I get a similar black screen saying Loading..., Cancel and Done buttons but it goes nowhere
It seems like the sync portion of Google Calendar/Account is broken or something is not signed properly. I've tried to find the appropriate CalendarSync.apk file and found a few, installed a few but the behavior described above remains the same.
HELP!
Is there a way to fix this without having to flash a rom? I used to play with installing rom's but now a days I try to just keep it stock - well I get additional apps but I try not to flash rom's and get unsupported. I have used towelroot to gain access to root. I use it because I also use Tasker and Secure Settings to try to automate some things and for some odd reason you cannot toggle GPS on and off until you get Secure Setting and root your phone! Stupid. And because I'm rooted System Update doesn't want to update me. I'm not sure if there's an OTA update for Sprint Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4.2 but I would have thought that if there was say 4.4.3 available that update would fix my problem.
If I can't fix that problem could I flash a stock Sprint rom (where?) and then have all my apps come back from backup/restore (I recently did a factory reset and even this didn't fix it! And while many apps came back courtesy of Google, a number didn't and what is worse is that I lost a number of settings and configurations. I wouldn't want to have to do that again.
I'm almost at the point of saying screw it and getting back into custom ROMs. Sprint rarely updates us, Google doesn't update us so what's the point of staying stock kernel? Sprint tech droid are incompetent.
In any event if somebody can help that'd be cool (why such apps as Calendar and the like need to be backed into the ROM instead of just downloadable and installable like every other app is beyond me!)

Ok, chances are the Bloatware removal script removed more than just the GoogleCalendarSnycAdapter.apk. It probably removed most or all your Google Apps. First I would try and reinstall the calendar app from the recycle bin again, this time copy and paste it with some type of root manager app like Root Explorer. Make sure you put it in system/app and not system/priv-app. Check the permissions they should be rw-r--r-- after your have pasted the app. Then with the root manger app go to Delvik-Cache and delete it, now power down the device completely and reboot. It will take a minute as it rebuilds the Delvik-Cache.
Now in the event that the removal script took all the Google apps, here is a link for stock KK 4.4.2 NC5 .tar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 ( Thanks micmars ) just follow the steps listed on his thread. Here is a link for Odin v 1.85 and Samsung drivers http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85 version 1.85 always works the best for me.

Note that all other Google apps (at least the apps I use) work fine. Hangouts, Chrome, Chromeccast, GMail, Music, etc.
OK, I see two GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk files - one in /sdcard/Download that is 490.33 KB and one that is already in /system/app that is -rw-r--r-- but 618.06 KB. More is better right? I use ES File Explorer as a file manager and I am root. I could not find anything on my system with *delvik* in the name. Might it be something with *art* instead? Isn't Kit Katt on art now and not delvik? Wait I found it under /data. When you say "delete it" what is "it"? I ask because I see things like:
[email protected]@[email protected]
[email protected]@[email protected]
[email protected]@[email protected]
[email protected]@GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter(1)[email protected]
[email protected]@[email protected]
I think #4 was created when I accidentally downloaded GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk twice into /system/app. I've copied these 5 files to save them then removed #3 and #4, powered down and back up. Nothing different.
Next I copied all of /data/delvik to the sdcard and removed all of the files under /data/delvik, powered down and back up.This took considerably longer as the cache was rebuilt at startup. In fact it said Android is upgrading... After that it started apps and I was back up. But the calendar still exhibits the exact same behavior.
I think what needs to be reinstalled is probably the Calendar Storage because it seems to me whenever I try to add an event or a calendar it fails.
As for your links, why am I flashing my entire phone with a new rom and what will be happening to all of the apps and settings I currently have installed? I'm sorry but I really only want my Calendar app to come back. Everything else works. Last time when I did a factory reset in attempting to fix this many apps came back, but many didn't and lots of them had missing settings, etc. I really, really don't want to go through that again!
BTW why didn't I get an email when you responded...

First sorry for the slow response, was out of town helping my daughter move. Now the correct size for the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk is 618.06KB. Here are copies of the files off my device which is a note 3 stock rooted 4.4.2 NC5.
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk https://mega.co.nz/#!tNxxxI5T!5xftzTM9ajyF45MeMR-qDS61ftYIhUIT3p2-hsBdN0w
SecCalendarProvider.apk https://mega.co.nz/#!0FIE0JgI!ENASoyihE3CLhECDDvBbRec1ROU5FxkAERQID7q7FPU
SecCalendarProvider.odex https://mega.co.nz/#!8MICFZSY!z23JLhKGgI9K5-1Lpe_GYszMlXmJyVaKsfaKd2vyCm8
Download to PC desktop, copy and paste to your sd card, then with your ES File manger copy the original files to a ext sd card or PC desktop. Now copy and paste the downloaded files, the adapter goes in system/app and the provider goes in system/priv-app. Once installed, check permissions rw-r--r-- then go to data/delvik-cache and delete the delvik-cache file, then go to cache/recovery and delete the last install and last log files. Then completely power down the device and reboot, delvik-cache will rebuild, then the new apks to will install.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Looks like I'm back up! No problem on the wait, I just wanted to keep the issue alive here.
Detailing what I did for the benefit of the next person I first downloaded your files and used PushBullet to push them to my phone. If you haven't heard of PushBullet then you should check it out! It's a nice way of pushing files, links, directions between your cell phone and your browser. I then:
. Put these files into /sdcard/Downloads/Calendar
. Moved /system/app/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk -> /sdcard/Downloads/save
. Moved /system/priv-app/SecCalendarProvider.apk -> /sccard/Downloads/save
. I could not find a SecCalendarProvider.odex file under /system/priv-app! Perhaps that was the root of my problem.
. I copied /sdcard/Downloads/Calendar/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk -> /system/app
. I copied /sdcard/Downloads/Calendar/SecCalendarProvider.apk -> /system/priv-app
. I copied /sdcard/Downloads/Calendar/SecCalendarProvider.odex -> /system/priv-app
. I looked at the perm bits of these files and when they were in /sdcard/Download/Calendar I could only see one of the 3 bit setting. It was set to 6 or rw-. However once I copied them to /system/app I could see the full set of perms and I changed them to 644.
. As for /data/delvik-cache, I didn't know exactly which file to delete but played it save and only deleted [email protected]@[email protected]. I figured if that was not the right think I could do it again but move all of the delvik-cache off of the phone like I did before. Turns out I didn't need to.
. I didn't bother (actually didn't see) the part about deleting the log files in the cache/recovery. Apparently I didn't need to.
Powered down the phone and then back up. Briefly saw a thing about updating and then I boot in. Started the Calendar and it didn't look good - it looked like it did before. But I went to the "Calendars to Display" and to my amazement it displayed many of my calendars! I went back and events were filling in as the background sync was taking place. I'M BACK!!!!
Thanks.

Hi, all. I followed all the instructions in this thread twice because I'm having the same issue and no luck. The "Calendars to Sync" is still spinning endless on the "Loading..." screen. I'm on stock Note 3 and have root. I even deleted all the files from /data/dalvik-cache. Any other suggestions? My issue is just the calendar sync as well. All the apk and other files mentioned here have been placed from the downloads that were provided. I'm totally dependent on my multiple calendars and dead in the water here.

I also was unable to follow this procedure with any success. I'm trying to get Google Calendar working again on my Sprint Galaxy S4 running 5.0.1 rooted stock. When I put seccalendarprovider in the app folder I get a crashy Calendar Storage (unusable). When I put it in a subfolder of priv-app it just says that Calendar Storage is disabled. When I just dump it straight into priv-app it's also crashy and unusable.
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.
