Google Calendar Sync Behaviors patch

[frantid]

It's fine now. Preware was updated for the different frameworks on the Veers.

With the 2.2.4 patch, if you are having connectivity issues, it will stop the sync. And retry every five minutes to reconnect and start the sync. If 3 tries fail it will stop and then the scheduled periodic sync will start the next attempt at the interval set in the preferences.

The initial sync when turning an account on, can take longer.

Are you seeing some strange behavior?

Like another recent commenter, edits on my device are not syncing back. There are many possible reasons for that, but I would like to eliminate the possibility that it's due to timing-out. (As you said when looking at my debug contents, my syncs take 7 mins.)

I'd like to either change the timeout to some large value like 20 mins, or prevent syncing except when no timeout will be enforced (e.g. when charging and on wifi). I haven't found a way even in Tweaks to set calendar syncing to manual only.

The timeout is 60 minutes, unless the network drops connection. You can use UberCalendar, together with Tweaks to set your desired sync requirements. This will work for anything that is not exchange.

If you have UC installed and advanced sync requirements in Tweaks enabled, go in to your calendar app preferences. You should see at the bottom a list of the accounts that are enabled for advanced sync requirements. Tapping on each account will expand the options. If you want it to just charging you can enable it there. Just remember that any options enabled must all be met at the same time for sync to occur. So if you have wifi only and charging enabled, both have to be happening at the same time for a sync to occur.

Also you must push "set advanced requirements" button to save your options.

Just attached these 3 files (calendar_event_query.js google_calendar_transformer.js transforms.js) from 2.2.4 Veer. Maybe you could take a look ...

I'm not aware of how the metascripts build the doctor for the veer and 2.2.4. You will have to manually put the files in the ipkg log onto your device from the doctor for 2.2.4. Your files do not match those of the doctor. I haven't found where they come from. After you put the doctor files in place you should be able to install the patch.

There is no official doctor of WebOS 2.2.4 for Veer They come from unofficial Upgrade but they are original, nothing changed.

[frantid]

You will have to get the originals from the Pre2 or Pre3 doctor.

I finally found where the files match they are from the released doctor for the original 2.2.3 Att Pre3. Not the 2.2.4 doctor for the att pre3.

Unfortunately, I never made a version of the patch for the 2.2.3 Att Pre3. Maybe you can contact the person who wrote the script that was used to create the Veer meta-doctor and they can update the script?

[frantid]

For those that are using this patch to sync your calendar and contacts, you do NOT have to worry about google ending activesync for exchange.

Try this one.

Patch moved to first post.

For anyone else, this file is specifically for a meta-doctored veer that used this script to build the doctor:

webOS 2.2.4 Doctor for Veer for AT&T or WR

Don't use it unless you used that script. If you have no idea what a meta-doctor is, then you don't need to use this file --- just see Preware or the first post.

cheers.

You will need to put the json file into the Tweaks preference directory. Then you can enable the advanced sync settings. Giving similar functionality to the patch you just removed.

The file is google-first-sync.json.txt in the first post. You have to remove the ".txt" in the name and put it in:

/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/services/org.webosinternals.tweaks.prefs/preferences/
