Root Calendar Issues in Velocity 1.1

So i got the update to Velocity 1.1 (which is killer, thanks to TeamVelocity for the great rom!!) but the inclusion of calpad over the Google or LG Calendar somewhat crippled my calendar / tasks set up.

I was running Dato's Gtasks and EverybodyAllTheTimes's Android Agenda Widget, neither of which play well with CalPad it seems :confused:

ive been testing out replacements like Jorte but im just not feelin' it, maybe im picky but i like the weekly calendar with the bar that shows the current time as it scrolls a la google calendar.

does anyone have a way to restore the old LG calendar or maybe even just an alternative, because it would be most appriciated.

Again thanks to TeamVelocity, besides this snafu on my end its getting better and better :D

If you have Titanium Backup, you can go back in there and restore stock calender!!:cool:

Titanium backup only backs up data for system apps. So I THINK You will need to copy the apk in recovery

You can back up the App's as well, use the backup/restore button on top and you can backup most system apps individually, at least in the pro version

Here you are:

CalendarWidget.apk
CalendarProvider.apk (Which is required)
Calendar.apk

Put all in /system/app with root explorer or similar, reboot. You dont need the widget. There just in case you want it

thanks so much, ill get right on it once im out of work

edit: i tried it with regular explorer and im getting an odd error, its saying there isnt enough space, but when i go back in to delete them, and then copy the files back in, they popped right back up and undeleted themselves :/

then if theyre on your sdcard. open terminal emulator and do:
Code: 
sysrw
cat /sdcard/Calendar.apk > /system/app/Calendar.apk
cat /sdcard/CalendarProvider.apk > /system/app/CalendarProvider.apk
cat /sdcard/CalendarWidget.apk > /system/app/CalendarProvider.apk
sysro
reboot

worked like a charm, thanks death!
 
I was having issues as well. I was not getting any notifications for approaching appointments. The old version would play my notification ringtone at the selected advance reminder time. The new version won't play notifications for me.

Switched back to the old Calendar and receiving reminder sounds again.

Just out of curiosity, why is the last transfer to CalendarProvider.apk instead of CalendarWidget.apk?

Thanks for the fix.
 
the flash file worked after a nandroid restore. i don't know what happened but whatever i did the first time must have corrupted something so that it would never work. anyways, i restored and it worked... andthen decided dang it, i need to start fresh because after most of my apps where moved to SD, i only had 25 megs in the data partition. i wiped and reflashed and installed it all from the market instead of titanium and with all the exact same software, i now have 102 megs in the data partition. go figure. and the calendar i want. thanks Death and Savoxis

How do I give Super User permissions to Terminal Emulator? Never mind I found it in the Velocity Toolkit!
