Typo-Like Apps (Calendar & More) ? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
im using typoclock and im loving this way of showing things.
Are there more Widgets / Apps like this ?
Im STILL searching for a nice looking calendar typo widget
to use it with my typoclock, but all look pretty awful in comparison.
If only typoclock creator could make a typocalendar.
Or is there something liek this out already.
greetings,
danny

Look on the Market for Minimalistic Text. I think that fits your requirements.

How do you mean

Click to expand...

Do you want it to display the day, date, month, year?
or
You want it to collect your events from your calendar and display them?

damn you are right. my fault.
and yes, display the events.
somehow "calendar" is only linked with events in my head.
so you got any ideas for that ?

Take a look here for Pure Calendar.
Does the middle screenshot look like what your after?

if you use launcher pro you can resize the widget, im not sure if that would just squash the 6 lines, or if it would crop it when resized..

[Q] Large contact photo's on homescreen?

Hey all, a while ago I was browsing threads for my old Moto Milestone, and saw a screenshot where the person had large contact icons on his homescreen (about equiv to 1x1 widget per contact). I thought I had read they were using either FolderOptions or BetterCut, but when I try to setup either, the contact photos always come out tiny. Am I messing up the setup of either of these, or could someone who has done this either either program, give me a hand.. Or even could someone point me to a way to do this? I always found the HTC People/LauncherPro Plus one kinda lacking, and REALLY lacks customization.
All I'm really looking for is a Contact photo on my homescreen that when I click it would either popup the little contact slide bar(phone/txt/email/etc) or just take me straight into HTC People contacts. Ability to turn on/off contacts name text would be a bonus!
Any help/app suggestions?
Wow.. 46 views and no one has a suggestion or even a comment?
How about this.. anyone know if it's possible, or what I'd have to hack, to increase the thumbnail size from the original Shortcuts -> Contacts or Shortcuts -> People to increase the size and remove the frame? (either full 1x1 widget size, or even 2x2 would work beautifully)
I believe you can use an app called "desktop visualiser"
Haven't used it for that purpose myself but i don't see why it shouldn't work.
Hope it helps.

OMFG That was EXACTLY what I was trying to find something to do! You are a life-saver.. I had given up finding something to do it, and just started learning to write an app to do it myself LOL Oh well, maybe I'll keep writing and see what I end up with.. but this is seriously the perfect tool for me.. It's gonna take over like 65% of my homescreen space now lol

Calendar widget

can someone fix it please? It wont show all day events no matter what i do... Pretty useless in this form.
Thanks!!!
Download an App called Pure Calender Widget, really excellent and an app I've been using since my HTC Desire. Can display your whole calender in Month mode on your homescreens.

How to edit icon labels/text?

Sorry, this is such a simple question. But it seems that anyone wanting an answer to this question has not found it entirely. I want to do this to shorten some icon names due to shortage of space, etc. Or maybe just a more descriptive label (ok, maybe just to me ). I mean how hard can it be? I just want to change the text, not the icon. I'm interested in procedures or apps. If you can help me, thank you.
Have you tried go launcher
From the 2nd galaxy

Yes, Go Launcher allows you to rename your app icons. It's an awesome launcher in terms of customization.
On Nova it's a long press and hit edit. My favorite launcher btw...

Yes, how hard can it be? I dont want to install a new launcher and I have tried a couple of the icon changer apps but not getting anywhere.
Any help at all would be appreciated...

Wow, that worked, "S Planner" now is Calendar. (How the name change to S Planner got thru qa I dont know).
Next bit of the problem is that I have shortcut icons that when pressed ask for which browser. In desktop visualizer I need to pick the application. I cant find the 'shortcut' app. Hope this makes sense...
Desktop Visualizer is good

[Q] Custom Week Number

As the title suggests is it possible for Zooper Widget to display customized week numbers?
I'm trying to migrate my calendar widgets from simple calendar widget to zooper and in simple calendar there was an option that allows for arbitrary shifting of week numbers. I'm trying to replicate that in Zooper widget but I haven't found any appropriate way of doing so. If any kind soul can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. Could you please explain what you mean with "arbitrary shifting of week numbers"?

Well for example the week of the year option displayed in Zooper widget currently would be 3, and I would like to change it so that Zooper displays it as 1.
Hope that clarifies.

So you want the current week always to be 1 instead of 4,5,etc. and the following weeks to be 2,3,4, etc?

Yep, that is correct.
Is there anyway to achieve that?

Then yes, I think it's possible. Instead of writing #C0Sw# to get the week in year of an event you write $(#C0Sw#-(#Dw#-1))$. This should calculate the weeks value based on the current week.

[Q] Replacement for LG Calendar Widget?

Hey all. I want to switch to using Nova, but I love the stock calendar widget. Is there anything like it that I can instal? I love how it can show the month view with events on the home screen.

Thanks for the suggestion, however that one looks NOTHING like the stock LG calendar widget. I suffer from the same experience as the OP (i want to use Apex Launcher), but I love the LG calendar widget too much to switch. I haven't found anything yet that compares with the same clarity.

Hey there! I've been using AgendaWidgets for a few years and I've never changed to any other calendar. There's also a plus version which I've purchased but maybe first try the free version first You can select the calendar to sync with your Facebook , too ( if you are on FB ). It also has different themes which you can choose from. I've chosen this transparent theme

Not sure if this satisfies your need for "stock" calendar feel, but Event Flow Calendar Widget is the best one I've found when it comes to having a good balance between simplicity, looks & customizability. Give it a try
Not like stock, but Sunrise?
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
I'm hoping for a widget that shows me a calendar view, with the actual events displayed with text on each day (not just lines or dots). Any one seen that outside of our stock app?:
Gonna give Sol Calendar a shot. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.daum.android.solcalendar&hl=en
Try Pure Grid calendar widget, I love it since many years:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.pure_grid_calendar&hl=fr
Try this one. Its not bad.
