[Q] Touchwiz Calendar/iOS Calendar style calendar for Desire? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
A while ago I was looking for a Calendar with the same layout/functionality as the iOS calendar on iPhone. Meaning while in month view when touching a date it shows the events below the calendar without going to day view.
Now I just found out that the samsung touchwiz calendar does exactly what I was looking for, they basically copied the iOS calendar.
Is there a possibility to run the touchwiz calendar on my Desire with Sense Froyo? Or does anyone know of a calendar on the market which has the same functionality?
thanks

Try Business Calendar:

thanks, but tried it before and doesn't have the function I mean, although it does have the hovering popups showing events, but it's too small/unclear on the desire..

You can check it this out... downside is that it was ported for CM7 roms and prolly for Epic 4G only. Might test it out sometime.

ah thanks that's basically what I was looking for, just for Desire
tried flashing the zips but doesn't work since it double checks if it's the right device, which should be the Epic.
tried copying/installing the apk's from the zip, but fc'ing after "successful" installation..

[Q] Work Scene Appointments

I'm running Fresh 3.1.0.2 on my EVO, and I'd like to know if there a way to show more than one appointment on a single day, or for that matter two appointments on sequential days on the calendar that appears as a result of the Scenes - Work configuration. I understand real estate is limited, but I would expect some indicator of multiple appointments. My screen only shows the first of two appointments. Am I missing something. Thanks
If you're talking about the default calendar widget from Android, then no. You can however go get a different widget from the Market. Might I recommend "Agenda Widget"?

[Q] Install HTC Sense apps on CM6?

I tried out CM6 today, and there are some things I absolutely LOVE about it. It's VERY responsive, more so than any other ROM I've tried. I love the launcher and the transparency to the wallpaper when you're scrolling though your apps. And I love the 3d gallery.
There are some dealbreakers for me though.... I don't like:
1- The camera app, I much prefer the HTC once.
2- The contacts list, I loved he way the stock one synced w/facebook updates and user pictures.
3- The calendar, which again synced with dates from facebook (birthdays, events, etc).
Are there apks that I can download to replace the ones in cm6 with? Or will I have to use a Sense ROM to get those?
No. It won't happen. If you want Sense, go to Sense. Otherwise, just look for alternative apps on the Market.
short answer, no
long answer;
sense widgets only work with the sense launcher. download official facebook app to sync with cyanogenmod or syncmypix. for the calendar, use ebobirthday to grab facebook birth days then sync to gmail and in gmail under calendar on the left at the bottom click "other calendars" then add "browse interesting calendars", then more tab, then subscribe to "Contacts' birthdays and events" as for the camera, someone made progress getting it working on the n1 but have not seen anyone trying to get it working on evo. right now, it is still a bit ugly and some things do not work, but they will soon enough. when cyanogen and the rest of the team are done, you will be able to do way more with their camera than you every could with the stock on. infact you already can with a large assortment of codecs and fine tuning options. hope this helped
You could try LauncherPro Plus. It won't give you a camera app, but it has an ever-increasing assortment of Sense-like widgets.
@DomSim: Thanks for the long answer =] I though from reading another thread that CM6 didn't link the contacts w/facebook, but you're telling me otherwise, so I will give that a try (I'm flashing CM6 again as I post). Honestly, the larger font on the contact list still bothers me, I wish it were smaller =[ And thanks for the info on getting the calendar sync, I don't think I EVER would have figured that out, hahaha!
@Noxious Ninja: Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a whirl once I'm flashed back on CM6. =]
One more thing I missed: The stock Sense clock/w weather! I love that clock =[ But I actually like the clock from CM6's lock screen better. Is there a widget for that?
Beautiful Widgets

Tapping Address in Calendar

On my HTC Desire I could tap the location field in my calendar view and it'll open up gmaps and go straight to the location. The Galaxy s2 doesn't seem to be able to do that, are there any mods or apps that will let you?
replacement calendar
Jorte Calendar does what you need.
It's a full calendar replacement. It's free in Marketplace...
https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.johospace.jorte&feature=search_result
RXP, I had the same issue and looked around a bit. It seems the Samsung calendar app simply doesn't have this functionality. Jorte, mentioned in the post above mine, works well. I have also tried Calengoo and Business Calendar and both work well. I am hoping that eventually someone will work out how to mod the Samsung app itself though, since none of the replacement apps match the Samsung ones for appearance, even when colours are tweaked.
Damn, that's incredibly frustrating. Might have to import an apk from my Desire!
RXP, did you have any success getting an alternative app working? I am still not happy with the alternatives I have tried so keen to find out what other people are using. The ideal solution would still be a tweak to the Samsung app so it fits in with the rest of the phone, but I must admit I wouldn't know where to start.
Alternatively, does anyone know how to get the standard google calendar app working on the S2? Searching turns up instructions for the Galaxy S but not the S2.
Thanks to anyone who is able to help.
Partial solution
I have been trying to find a solution for this and found a couple of things. It seems a lot of alternative calendar apps use the system calendar app for their event view, which means that with the samsung calendar in place you cannot get clickable links even with something like Calendar Pad installed.
I was able to get the cyanogen mod calendar apk working (looks like it is pretty much stock gingerbread) after backing up and uninstalling the touchwiz calendar with titanium backup. There is a graphical glitch on some views where a circle appears in the top left corner but other than that it seems to work well. it also allows alternative apps like calendar pad to load the standard android event view which has clickable links.
Unfortunately I can still not get this to work in the samsung app to keep a consistent look to the apps but thought I would post in case this helped anyone.
I was missing the same functionality, installed 'Business Calendar Free'
- works a treat
I had a look at business calendar and the functionality was there. I am just trying to find some way to get the same functionality in the touchwiz app to keep a consistent theme across the phone. Is there any way to make this change or a dummies guide to exiting the aol?

(FIXED in 1.28) Bug in Calendar/Agenda Widget

This probably does not seem like a big deal but it's driving me nuts.
The HTC agenda/calendar widget causes sense to crash every time it loads.
Yes, I have tried the android one and Pure Calendar Widgets etc but they are not the same.
I was going to try digging the HTC Calendar widget out of the 1.20 Stock ROM to see if it will install. Anyone know if that's likely ?
I don;t want to be a whiner but I'm kinda mad some of the crap HTC pull. In this latest release I've lost the two widgets I used most, the news widget and the agenda widget

you are right...I am also facing the same BUG, sense is rebooting one we select the calander/agenda widget....
Regards,
Isn't that only if you have your Facebook calendar syncing before adding the widget though? Possibly because it's having to add too many events?
Agenda widget working fine here with two calendars syncing - plus you can add the FB calendar once the widget is on screen.

No. I am only showing 1 calendar in the agenda widget and it's not the facebook one. It's my exchange calendar.
The bug seems to be linked to the number of appointments you have.
Mine worked fine for the first few days and then this morning started crashing. This is because now that the easter holidays are almost over my work diary for next week is really full, hence lots of appointments etc.
If I change the widget to only show the facebook calendar or only show tasks etc it works fine.

Damn. That does not seem to be working.
I;'ve got the system image out of the rom but I can't extract it using unyaffs.
Any pointers from any of you android chef genuises ?
Maybe someone could just extract and post the agenda widget apk and I will test ?
Cheers.
I had the same problem once. I have 2 calendars synced + facebook.
I removed the widget and re-add it and it's working.
I saw an other bug : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590772
Fix Found (Sort of...)
I have found a fix for this.
If I tell the widget to "Show All Calendars" it's fine.
If i tell it to only show one, even if that's the only calendar with any events in it, it causes Sense to crash.
Guess I'll just tell it to show all calendars
Strange - show all causes mine to crash as it then includes Facebook.
If I just use my work exchange and Google calendars it works fine and I'd imagine there's more than 20 entries in those?

I am using the standard Android widget (the 2x3 one) and it annoyingly doesn't seem to update. When I add items to my calendar they do not show up and sometimes the widget shows a day behind the actual date.
There also seems to be no refresh button for this widget. Is there a way to do that and does anyone else have this problem?
Ahhhhh ! Fixed in the 1.28 OTA update. Sweet, sweet bugfix

Jorte Calendar not working?!

Hey guys,
since i have the N4 (4.2 and 4.2.1) my Jorte calendar app works not right.
It shows my appointments from all googlecalendars, But i can't change anything, i can't add an appointment, so i can't do noting.
It says there are no calendars, but it shows all appointments...
Does anybody of you have the same issue? Or maybe have a solution for this problem?
I love jorte, haden't find an app with such an widget (showing the appointments in a 4x1 row with showing the days from a week), so i can't change the app...
Same problem here
I'm experiencing the same problem. I can see my appointments but not add or edit. Jorte still works fine in ICS, so I assume we just need to be patient for an update to 4.2. It's a real drag.
Try agenda widget plus..
My mate is the Dev and he has the N4 so it's all good with 4.2.1 (even on the lock screen i think!)

Try this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmRpZ2liaXRlcy5jYWxlbmRhciJd
Jort Update worked for me, so anything is fine now
Personally I've used Jorte, and it just didn't do it for me. Someone mentioned Android Pro Widgets and that worked much better...especially coming from an S3 with S Planner.
I love Jorte. Haven't found anything better but depends on how you use it I suppose. I like full monthly views + tasks all on the same page/widget.
The bug was killing me but now that it is resolved...sweetness.
