I'm running custom rom with nano gapps and are having some trouble using calendars. I've tried multiple calender apps but none of them work, they keep saying I have to supply a calendar account. The problem is that I don't want sync my calendar with google, and even if I did want that, I can't seem to add a calendar account. When I select to add a new account, it tells me to login into my google account. I enter my email and it says I can't use that as I'm already logged in...
Is there really no true offline calendar app?

This has been a bit frustrating.
When you go through set-up, it gives you the option of adding a Google account which is necessary for using Market. But it also syncs your e-mail into the Gmail app and syncs your contacts. I don't want either of those because my Exchange has both contacts and I want to use the HTC mail widget for my Gmail.
I have tried various ways to prevent this from happening, but all have failed.
1. I went through set-up connecting to wifi and adding my Gmail. Then I went to options and removed syncing. But my e-mail and contacts are still in the Gmail app.
2. I did not connect to wifi so that I can first go to options and removing syncing, but that didn't help.
3. I created another generic gmail account just so I can use it for market. However, now that account is connected to my GTalk app instead of my normal account.
So here is my goal:
Use my everyday Gmail with GoogleTalk app, but without it syncing my Gmail contacts or my e-mail with the Gmail app.
Is there any way to do this? Am I missing something? Can you go to the syncing options without actually setuping the Google account first?
Thanks for the help.
Also, while we are on the topic:
What is the main difference between the two? I keep reading online that the Gmail app is supposed to be Push e-mail, but I have also read just as many posts saying it doesn't work or it doesn't do that.
I figured out a solution:
1. Go through set-up and connect to Wi-Fi, but do not set-up a Google account. Skip it.
2. Go to Settings>Syncing>Checking Auto-Sync and Sync in Background
3. Settings>Add Account>Google Account
And here is where you need some fast fingers...
4. Settings>Check Sync in Background and Auto-Sync and quickly click on Google Account you just set-up and uncheck Sync Contacts, Calendars, and E-mail.
I was able to uncheck e-mail sync, but it had synced some of my contacts already. That wasn't a problem b/c I haven't set up my Outlook account so I just deleted all the Google contacts it had synced. But I was fast enough where I didn't let it sync Gmail account.
Now no e-mails in Gmail app and I can use Google Talk.
I have just got my SII and am trying to connect to both of my Google accounts - my Gmail account is the one I use for trash & Market, my Google Apps account is the one I need for email, contacts & calendar.
It syncs the Gmail account fine, connects to the Google Apps account fine but only shows Calendar & Contacts for sync, the email account is missing. I was using a Nexus One fine with both accounts but the SII just won't see the G_Apps email.
Anyone got any ideas ?

That is a bit of a bummer. I use at least 2 Google Apps accounts... Though I'm pretty sure that this sort of functionality comes from the Google stuff, rather than Samsung...
Did you add them both in the same way?

prolly your are forgetting a checkbox... are you syncing both accounts?
in gmail app, under accounts do you see both accounts?
I have both a GMail account and a Google Apps account - both are syncing fine here, showing sync options for calendar, contacts and mail for both accounts.
So must be something specific to your setup - definitely not a SGS2 or Google limitation
Can't work out why this happened, it is working now so it may have been a setting or anything, I deleted the G_Apps account & added it again & it all worked.
Thanks
When I'm trying to create an even I get a message "Local calendar cannot sync with google calendar. you need a google account"
Well.. I have a google account and I have the calender marked with sync active and in the calendar settings set my google calendar as the only calendar.
WTF?!

I get the same but if I go into Google Calendar and sync, I am able to save the event.
The same issue for me here..
I create an event in the phone calendar, then I go to web Google calendar to check the event, and it's not there.. Even if I try syncing manually multiple times..
It's strange behavior because sometimes events sync and shown in Google calendar immediately when created in the phone..
Is there a fix for this issue ?
I had a slightly different message and figured something out, mine was
"Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My calendar to sync with Kies"
AND
"Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a google account"
It then gives me the option to go to accounts and sync, when I do so the calendar gets stuck with the syncing.
But when I create an event it syncs to my google calendar. So I just set it to ignore and things seem to work fine.Anyone else?
I have a strange problem where the events in my Google Calendar are not syncing with the stock calendar application.
There are one or two of the latest events that I have added, and these show up in both locations, but all previous events are nowhere to be seen.
When I click on a day in the calendar app I get two messages:
Google calendar cannot sync with Samsung Kies. Use My calendar to sync with Kies - irrelevant, I do not use Kies.
Local calendar cannot sync with Google calendar. You need a google account - at which I go to the account and sync it. Nothing happens.
I can create an event in my Google calendar and it pops straight through as it should do, but none of the previous events and I keep getting these sync errors.
Please help, as it's giving me a headache.
Thanks.

Hmm ... that is not easy to solve.
I also had a similar issue with my Google calendar synch.
After installing a leaked version of Google Talk with Video chat (I think it was the one from paulobrien => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075494&highlight=modaco+talk), my Google account was deleted and I had to create it again.
Since then, I have no problem to synch my Google calendar entries.
Everything is fine now.
So, you may try to delete your Google account on your phone and re-install it again afterwards.
Good luck !
