Guys, Why does the Google calendar doesn't show birthday events that I have added in people app??
Is there any way to make them appear on Google calendar?
The Google calendar only shows US HOLIDAYS which I don't need...!

Try syncing ur people app in settings -> accounts if not available try adding and syncing

Little bit of confusion.. In syn settings there are many options.. I ticked all the options, yet the problem isn't solved.. BTW what's the difference in contacts and people details (in syn settings) ?

U ticked all option then did u go to menu and clicked Sync Now
If u did and not resolve do this

go to settings -> Apps -> All
Scroll down to Calendar below storage group click clear data
Do the same to Calendar Storage
And try syncing

People Details is a new sync service related to the recent release of Google Play Game
Contacts u know what contacts are!!!

Yes did that... Still it doesn't show. It only shows the events that I have manually added in calendar.

People is the default app for contacts in CM.

Its a shame that I'm cm for almost an year and I didn't know contacts is called people :facepalm: :lol: I thought its a app like social hub which comes with Samsung smartphone

I recommend u to take a backup and do a clean install and try syncing calendar. Is ur cm is nightly?

It's ok buddy.. My current build is stable version only. This problem (birthday not showing on calendar) contained in CM 9, CM10, and now in CM10.1 also

Currently I'm relying on 3rd party app for birthday notifications.
Even I have also synced my account still...i don't know what's wrong...!

Your default contacts app or contacts+ syncs all contacts from FB to your phonebook i.e. it also add them to whatsapp
for BBM its not possible as everything is on PIN.
never used line so cant tell you about that app.

Democracy is a myth
In trouble time this site helped me a lot rather that fcking XDA!
Xperia Z 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware Update Rolled Out - Minor Bug fixing | Xperia Guide

The build they have used in both the [STOCK ROM] installation thread are corrupted. I've tried to update my phone numerous times by following XDA process but it just bricked my phone each time.

Then, after two days of battle I won with the help of the previously mentioned site's help.

My phone: Xperia Z with .244 build rooted

Task I wanted to achieve: Install .67 and then root it.

Why I fcuked up: Like all precious updation method, I went installed the new .67 ROM from recovery but the installation threw error in halfway. The Kernel refused to be flashed from flashtool.
I then (without taking the backup of Titanium backup's backup) installed an older ROM i.e. .434. Rooted it and installed recovery and installed .67 ROM from recovery. This time the ROM was received from another source who claimed they have this full-proof method.
Bricked again.
Then I thought may be the diff. between two ROM in version is too much, there could be some issues in directory structure issue. So I installed .434, then .244 and then .67. Failed installation. Bricked again.

Then this website helped me from my misery.

I trusted XDA too much I guess. There are reasons behind me having trust issues!

it depends which device you have like many HTC devices can be rooted by HTC QuickRoot...

you at-least need to download the software ;) otherwise I think all of the softwares work offline ... just find the appropriate rooting method for your device, download the necessary files, keep them on a safe place. This way you can root and unroot [ you need official firmwire of your phone for this one but some rooting methods / programs have unrooting option ] anytime you like.
