Calendar not displaying event colors - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a nexus 7 and Xperia arc running jj hybrid Rom. They both sync my calendar events fine but the phone displays all events as blue while the nexus has the custom colours. I have tried the latest version on the market, anyone know the issue here?

I tried everything today , despite the screenshot showing colours (on another device) , different colours seems too hard to achieve on the piece of crap Arc I have as well

I really need to upgrade my phone, using the nexus really makes the arc seem laughably slow.

Right , I worked out how to get the different colours - the new update allows the use of multiple calendar , you add them on Google Calendar on the web and then you use the option on your phone of which to sync with - they all have different colours . I first thought multiple calendars was a bad idea , but if you dedicate one to work and one to family , one to concerts etc etc etc , they will all display on the master calendar as different colours and focus on just family stuff for example - changed my mind , its very good .
Just for reference , Im a grown man and believe asking for thanks is a kids game . If the above helps anyone - please just shout a random number at the person nearest you to freak them out and make them ask why haha . Seriously - don`t hit it (no reverse logic included) .
This is Glass Calendar showing the different colours events , its the same in the Calendar app columns .

LiveWallpaper?

Are there live wallpapers on the glaxy s because they would be smooth as with tht prosesor and tht screen
Additionally, the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S packs all the updates brought by Android 2.1, like several new widgets and Live wallpapers as seen on the Nexus One – so, no need to envy Nexus One users for the animated homescreens, but keep in mind that this puts a strain on the battery.

Hi, I have the Samsung Galaxy S, my Live Wallpaper previously works on all menus like the Home Screen and Program menu. when I changed the live wall paper, only the Home Screen has it, the program menu is only black..
How can I set the Live Wallpaper on the program menu?
Thanks
Thanks good to know they are there
@DaRkMyk
I dont think they would display on the proggram menu they don't on the nexus either but i dont know for sure otherwise when the phone is rooted im sure its possible to make the menu transparent so that the live wallpaper is visible

my bad... yup.. the live wallpapers only works on the home menus... this is my first Android phone and i thought i did something...
i hope it can work on all menus....
well on my nexus the live wallpapers worked on all the menus.. but i was running cyanogen, but they also worked on all menus when i was running froyo as well. actually i mean on all home screens is that what you mean.. yes they did not work on the launcher/apps list
Thanks but i think he was talking about the app tray and system settings kind of things
are they smooth scrolling from screen to screen???
I suppose they would be i do not yet own one but i have been on one at the vodafone store and they are very smooth and are infact faster than the n1

Email mark as read / multi selection missing ?

Well.. I'm in a very lucky position to have a HTC desire AND a Galaxy S.. one must go! At the moment my desire is on eBay but as each second passes I'm thinking I've made the wrong decision.
There are a few things I like on the samsung that if I were to keep my desire would want.. I've managed to add the patch so I can now press to trackpad to wake the desire (like the samsung) this was one major thing that bothered me coming from an iphone is you have to press the power button at the top.. anyway that's sorted now.
The other thing (main reason for this post) Is...
On my mail app on the samsung you can select multipul emails by tapping a tick box at the side, I can then select 'set as read' or something like that in the menu. On my desire I need to go into each email which is a pain.
SO.. the question is can I make the desire work something similar to the galaxy? I've noticed the default android has this tick box.. and so does the Desire HD?? so is it just my phone thats messed up? I've rooted it so I can load whatever into it.
Just found a pic.. the tick boxes are missing on mine!!!

[Q] Does the Note II's double panel view work with any given app?

Hi!
The title says it all, I'm interested if the Note II can handle any app in double panel view.
I use computer almost never, and having a smartphone which could view any 2 apps at a time would be so good and would be a great next phone I'll buy.
Thanks for your answers already!
Not stock. Only a handful of apps will work in multi view.
But there is a mod in dev section that allows any app to run in multiview

Only certain stock apps are available in the Multi window by default. If you need to add your own apps, there are a few methods, or you can flash a ROM that already have this feature built-in
So far, the easiest is this one, you just need to find the item name of the apps you wish to add, and use the webtool to generate a zip file to flash into your Note II (You need to be rooted)
Here's how mine looks like once I added apps that I want :

Do remember to do the necessary backups before proceeding further.
Hope this helps!
Ok, thanks for your replies. At this time I wasn't able to find the mod kylec mentioned about, and the manual method looks pretty creepy, but I'll look into it later, when I actually have the device with me. It was a big relievement to know that there is at least some way to double-panel all apps. It's sad how Samsung doesn't give us the device's full potential by standard.
Remind that even u flash unlimited multi window mod , it wont be easy to use, many apps will be stretched strangly.

Homework task list

hey guys, i wanna know if anyone knows a good to do list or task list or whatever you wanna call it, for keeping in track of doing my homework. i want an app thats simple and quick, and have a nice Holo themed UI(optional), and also just work well in jotting down my homework assingments. Cos i really dont like carrying a planner around and using it is really boring and jus wastes time, as I use my phone for everything I want to keep my homework assingments on my phone too, so everything is organised and in one place and it'll be easy and quick to check my homework on my phone.

Speed One Watch Face

I just released a new watch face:
Speed One Watch Face
Mod edit: Removed paid app linkThis new one offers you even more customisations than my previous dev:
- 8 datas to display in the widgets (steps, weather, heartbeat, missed calls, etc)
- 30 backgrounds, 8 widget styles
- 6 types of color customisation
- Background color blending for even more possibilities (more than 30*50 possibilities)
- 3 types of hand
- Timezone selector for digital clock
- etc
And some settings to enhance your watch usage: small/big notification cards, 12/24hr format, screen on duration, 3 ambient modes (including one colorfull), etc...
I hope you will like it and I'll be glad to get some feedback!!
(And another I made still free: https://goo.gl/b7qCWc)

Hi,
You need to take the Google Fit in order to have the step count.
If Everything all right, when you select the "Daily step counter" indicator for a widget for the first time, it should display a popup to associate an account and to ask for authorization. If you select correctly an account and accept the authorisation request, it should work. If you did not, select an other indicator for the widget, and then go back to the "Daily step counter" indicator. It should display the popups again.
Did you have the Google Fit application installed on your mobile ? If yes, you can try to launch it and see if the application does have your steps in history. If not, try it
