About JB Workaround CalDAV-Sync
This is just a workaround app for a bug in Android 4.1 (alias Jelly Bean). See http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34880 for details.
Info for Samsung users: at present you'll need this app too, see http://developer.samsung.com/forum/board/thread/view.do?boardName=GeneralB&messageId=232748
Under Android 4.4.2 it's recommended to install this app as well. There is a new issue in Android that causes accounts to be removed during an app update, see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=66905
The bug causes accounts of paid apps to be removed when Android boots up. To work around this issue this app pretends to provide the same account type that CalDAV-Sync provides. That's enough to convince Jelly Bean to keep the account.
That's all this app does.
Please open the app at lease once from within Google Play to "enable" the workaround. It may not work properly otherwise. On some devices you'll have to install this app before you install CalDAV-Sync. Please try that if you still have problems.
Please note that the bug is in Android 4.1, not in CalDAV-Sync!
If you're not using CalDAV-Sync on Jelly Bean, you don't need this app. There is no need to give it a bad rating in that case! Please don't install it in that case.

App History & Updates
What's Changed
The workaround now disables itself for a couple of seconds after booting the device. That ensures the original sync app can take over the account.
- new in 1.4
Change disable/enable sequence
Allow workaround to be called from CalDAV-Sync. I hope that fixes all issues with removed accounts.
On shutdown the app ensures the workaround is enabled on the next start (hence the new permission)

Вроде бы эта программа нужна для другой программы которая позволяет синхронизировать календарь яндекс и программы для календарей на телефоне.

This seems to have fixed the issue on 4.3 for the Note 3. Account is now persistent upon reboot.

This app says to email, but can't find an email address anywhere to send an email for help. There are a couple of websites listed for support, but still saw nowhere to get help. I have Caldav and the work around app, but noting working.

Worked great for me! Even though I have Jellybean 4.2.2, my Caldav account would be wiped out on reboot. This fixed it. Thanks!

Installed caldav sync on my S3 and hooked it up to my Corp calendar. Worked great. Rebooted to test and sure enough it lost my account. Installed the workaround and it now survives a reboot. Thank you.

Wenn man noch einem Neustart das Telefon sofort wieder neu startet, kann es (möglicherweise auch im Zusammenspiel mit anderen Apps) passieren, dass trotz dieser App die Kalender weg sind. Bei 35 Kalendern und verschiedenen Apps die darauf zugreifen, kann das schnell mal ein paar Stunden Konfiguration bedeuten! Am besten jeden Tag ein ROM-backup machen...

lol, completely forgot about this fix. After setting up the account about 20 times switching between ROMS a light bulb went off. Thanks again for doing this.

I was tearing my hair out trying to work out why certain apps were resetting after startup. Installed this and it fixed CalDav-sync. For the other apps, I created a backup, uninstalled the market version, and reinstalled them. Problem solved. A major PITA, but at least now I know what's going on!

Switched phones. Having dinner issues getting it to sync back up. Other than that, bullet proof. Any help please.
