[Q] Changing Date on Calendar Icon - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

In iOS the calendar app icon always shows the day of the month, does anyone know of an app, zip, or apk that I could install and/or flash that would give me a calendar app whose icon will always display the current date? I have a SGH-i747 running ktoonsez & task650 AOKP ROM 4.1.2 with task650 Underwear kernel 3.0.52. I tried searching and found others asking the same thing, but found no replies to their inquiries.

Calendar Widget Bug?

Hi all,
I'm trying to keep my Galaxy Nexus as stock as possible. One thing I like is the calendar widget. But what I don't like is the fact, that the widget only show appointment during a period of time. If an appointment (like birthday) lasts the whole day, it isn't shown in the widget. Is that an ICS thing or just a missing setting I forgot?

Google is aware of the issue. See info on code.google.c... issue id 22365 (I am a newbie to this forum and is not allowed to post outside links)
It is fixed in the 4.0.3 Calendar apk.
hmmm, I'm running 4.0.3. It's not stock but it's 4.0.3

which 4.0.3 rom are u using? Some 4.0.3 still have the calendar from 4.0.2.
I'm using bigxie's rom and the calendar widget does show all day events.

Check the calendar version and make sure it says 4.0.3. If not switch to bigxie's rom.
Is there an .apk for the newer calendar?

It's 4.0.2. Can I extract the .apk from bigxie's rom and overwrite it? I don't think that there is a major difference, so it should work.

Inverted Gapps for ICS (with most for GB too)

I found this collection the other day, so I thought I'd share it here.

I'm current running CleanGB using a few of the apps, but I may switch to CM9 this week. I was curious if any on CM9 is already using them or perhaps something else.
Edit:
I had also found this collection on Rootzwiki, but I'm not really able to compare just yet.

I've run both inverted app sets, usually it's just a matter of who updates the fastest..
haven't had any issues with either set of apps.
Wow, thanks for this. Installed a few from rujellus22 (the first link), and they fit awesome with the People's ROM!

I'm running CM9 beta2 and used the Rootzwiki versions. I backed up with titanium backup, and then uninstalled gmail, mms, gplus, contacts, calendar, voice, youtube....and then installed the inverted versions through cwm. Oh before I uninstalled the apps, I cleared the data through the "manage apps" menu of each gapp that I replaced. Working just fine all day.

Adding back stock apps to CM9 (or AOKP)

I booted up my new AT&T S3 and was glad to see the improvements to the calendar and Exchange sync. Tasks are finally supported!
So I flashed to CM9 and Exchange sync was the first thing I checked. Sure enough, tasks were gone. The new functionality must be a Samsung value-add rather than a new ICS feature.
I'm back on stock for now, but was wondering if anyone's tried to extract the Samsung calendar/email/sync and install it on top of CM9?
Damn right! Have the same problem on S2. And all the new JB roms that I have tried does not support it too. Very frustrating... Is there a reason?
Greetings
Hi
i too would like to install some of my stock galaxy s3 (IG-i9300) to be used with my CM9 ROM.
i am mainly interested in:
- SMS app (i liked the way it looks)
- Contacts app (it was very comfortable)
i really can't seem to find any good replacement for the contacts app -__- they're all stupid or trying to be cute.
this is the first phone i've ever rooted and installed a new ROM on, so i could really use a hand with this one
You cannot flash any touchwiz app to an aosp based ron

Gallery Sync, Search Bar...How do I fix these little bugs after rooting...?

I'm enjoying my rooted Sprint GS3. Flashing has become so addictive that I find myself checking the several XDA threads hoping there is an update!!
Since I've flashed ParanoidAndroid, I have lost a couple features that I enjoyed...and wondered if others have experienced these, and if there are ways to fix them.
- Gallery no longer syncs with Picasa. It only shows my camera pics and screenshots.
- The permanent search bar now only shows a search magnifying glass. It use to say Google.
- In the launcher, the shortcut to the play store appears to be the old style (bag with an android head on it, instead of the play button)
Thanks for whatever!
GO JELLYBEAN!!
i don't think so i think its the rom...
Not sure why u got the old style market would love to know what gapps ur using. That being said I'm sure a third party app is out there for syncing picassa. Can't help u as I have never used my camera and gallery. And picassa sync only worked in the tw gallery. As for the search bar and market my attachment should do. Just flash in recovery. http://db.tt/MgwriNtp
Thanks for the tips.

You should look at the change logs for the ROM you're running. I'm running StrongSteve's Odexed Blue 4.7 (which, by the way, is awesome - gotta like blue though...) and have the old-school market icon (labeled Market too) as well, but you can see in his change logs from a previous version that was something he intentionally did. Everything you described, except the Picasa sync issue, could just be the way the dev themed their ROM.
I don't know what to tell you regarding your sync problem...

As far as I know Picasa sync is broken in CM right now and PA is based of CM.

[MOD] Google Calendar with Textview (month) - 31.05. Update

Guys, although the Nexus 7 and the GNx have almost the same screen resolution, the N7 shows events in Textview whereas the GNx shows only small lines for an event, so I modded the Stock-JellyBean-Calendar for my GNx as you can see in the attached screenshot or here at directupload:
http://s7.directupload.net/images/121119/o9bix4gi.png
For any ROM out there I recommend using the latest market version of the calendar, as this is bug fixed by Google.
But which version you take is your own choice, both work perfectly on all JB-ROMs (4.1/4.2) including AOSP, AOKP, CM10, TWRP...
Just flash the zip from CWM, but do a nandroid before (for your own security).
Update 07.11.2013:
- maintaining the newest version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47222855
Update 31.05.2013:
- Updated to new market version (v 201305280)
- CWM package
Update 13.12.2012:
- Updated to new market version (v 201212060)
- Lockscreen Widget for 4.2
- New event picker in month view (long press)
Just flash in CWM. If you encounter errors, please uninstall any previous calendar with Titanium Backup and try a new flash. The problems with my old mod were signing problems, sorry for that.
Update 16.11.2012:
- Updated to new market version (v 201210220)
- according to Google, the battery consumption should be lower
- If you don't see the calendar after flashing, please flash the first market version first, reboot, then flash the new version.
Thanks to Finner42 for this idea, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34591851&postcount=64
Update 18.10.2012 the 2nd:
- Added modded new market version (v 201210120)
Update/Changelog 18.10.2012:
- CWM flashable zip
- Changed from GoogleCalendar 4.1.1 to 4.1.2
- some small fixes with the color squares
Old (archived) files:
Market Calendar 201212060: http://ul.to/h25nmaoz
Market Calendar 201210220: http://ul.to/0p2w4aqh (don't use!)
Market Calendar 201210120: http://ul.to/mxq278r8
AOSP 4.1.2 Calendar: http://ul.to/53ih6ior
Differences between the stock 4.1.2 and the market calendar:
The market version syncs back events up to one year, whereas stock calendar syncs back to 3 weeks only (standard android behaviour). To get synced one year when you had stock calendar before: you have to delete the data in -> settings -> apps for "Calendar" and "Calendar Provider" and sync again manually after that.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you have updated the calendar via market before, you have to uninstall this update before flashing, otherwise you will see nothing. Android prefers the .apk in /data/app over any system-apk in /system/app - that is a pretty normal behaviour.
Enjoy!
Additional Information:
Just a note as some people are unsure about GApps and CM10/AOKP. This is only important for people who like to know deeper. If you flash via CWM or are on Stock ROM, you don't have to worry about this:
In every official GApps (even the newest ones) are the old sync adapters from ICS which work with CM10 calendar (and have dark colors).
The market calendar and the stock-JB-calendar have its own sync adapter included, so you should delete GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk too, when you delete (CM10-) Calendar.apk
NEVER delete calenderprovider.apk, account information and the data is stored in there!
My modded calendar has an update script which cares for either situation, so that it can be used in CM10 and/or StockROMs.
Besides: Paranoid Android users don't need the modded calendar, as you may use tablet UI in market calendar for sure.
If you like to mod yourself, here are instructions for code changes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35414528&postcount=80
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ROM-COOKERS:
Surely you may include this mod in your ROMs if you like it. I got a few PNs the last days but wasn't online here, sorry for that.
I got so much from xda and from other (real) developers, that it makes me happy if you consider this mod useful!
Added CWM flashable zip, should be easier for all of you.
Works on every JB-ROM, odexed and deodexed (AOSP, CM10...)
Please do a Nandroid before, just in case...!
Thank you for this mod. I like it. But can you please do this with the calendar from Android 4.1.2. or tell me how I can do it by myself. I don't know if there is something new in this version of the calendar but it got a new version number so maybe some Bugfixes.
According to the official Google changelog there is only a widget background change in 4.1.2, otherwise it's the same as 4.1.1
You have to modify "integers.xml" for the text size labels and "bools.xml" for general work of the new layout (in /res/values)
In addition, some things are hardcoded in /smali/com/android/calendar/month/MonthWeekEventsView.smali (text size of event time and the color squares)
In summary there's no real difference between those calendars. If I'm on 4.1.2 I will change this and update this post, in the meantime you can use the 4.1.1 with no loss of function.
[edit]
New 4.1.2 is online
I flashed this on top of the 4.1.2 Calendar update published on Google Play but did not work.
I then restored a 4.1.1 Calendar backup from Titanium then reflashed the zip but still didn't work.
I then uninstalled the 4.1.2.Calendar update directly from Google Play (not from Apps or Titanium Backup) and then it worked.
FYI.
I will update this thread in a few hours, am on mobile now.
New market calendar is already modded. If you can't wait get it here:

Thanks for this note. This is a normal behaviour in Android, I put an explanation in the first post.
Updated the opening post with the new market calendar!
Read the change between stock 4.1.2 and market version there.
Thank you for this mod:victory:
Thank you, everything works fine
Will try this out later.
Shameless post to subscribe to this thread because I'm lazy.
Also, thanks for this... Fixes one of my biggest gripes with gapps. I have a friend running cm9 on his galaxy s who is pretty outspoken about how crap the stock calendar app is... Is this apk likely to work for him?

Just flashed after uninstalling the market update, and after the reboot the market downloaded the update again and installed it. Uninstalling again fixed this, but has anyone else seen this behavior? Am I going to have to uninstall the market update often?

I wasn't trolling, it's just that I thought you were exaggerating the size of Galaxy Nexus' screen.
And by the way, they don't have the same resolution either. Nexus 7's screen is larger in width by 80 pixels.
