Can't save recurring events in Google Calendar on Android phone : Solution

Problem : I am using Cyanogenmod with Android gingerbread. Google Calendar version 2.3.7 is installed in my Samsung galaxy pop (tass). Whenever i create a recurring event in the calendar, it just disappears after saving the event.

Solution 1(recommended):
1. Install aCalendar app on your android device and make sure your google calendar is in Calendar list shown in aCalendar-->menu-->more-->Calendar list.
2. Create recurring event using aCalendar.
3. Open aCalendar menu-->more-->Synchronize.
Thats it, your recurring event should reflect in the google calendar too.

Solution 2: 

1. In case of recurring event create it using a desktop browser at https://www.google.com/calendar/.

2. In your android phone go to Settings ---> Applications --->Storage Use ---> Calendar Storage ---> Clear Data.

3. Turn on sync and let the calendar sync. 

After a while u will see your recurring event appear on your android calendar.

If you need to add another recurring event, you will have to repeat the whole procedure from step 1.

2nd partition automatically converts from FAT to EXT3 problem - Solution

Recently i encountered a problem which is explained as follows. I format my sdcard's second partition to FAT32 (with mini tool partition wizard) and insert it into my phone for LINK2SD purpose. But it does not recognize my second partition. I check my sdcard again on mini tool partition wizard and the second partition has magically turned into an ext3 partition. And because Gingerbread+LINK2SD do not work with ext partitions, it creates trouble.

Whatever be the cause of that, here is a simple solution :
1. Insert your memory card into your pc with help of a memory card adapter.
2. Download , install and run mini tool partition wizard.
3. Backup important stuff from your sdcard.
4. Delete every partition on your sdcard and click apply.
5. After that recreate your desired partitions. This time it won't revert to ext3.
