Use jorte. Looks kinda like sense callendar.. then sync your Facebook callander with Google acct. Yes u must use computer. Then sync jorte with Google callendar.. that's what I did at least

There is a Facebook plug-in called fdCal. Install that to your profile. It will give you a url string that can be loaded into your Google calendar, and Google will pull your Facebookcalendar from this url. It also will stay updated. Since its in your Google calendar now all you have to do is sync your calendarto your Android phone. I apologize that my directions are a little vague but I did this quite some time ago. With the info gave you and some google searching you should be able to find a tutorial somewhere. Just remember fdCal is the key.
I used EboBirthday to sync my Facebook birthdays with my Google Calendar on my phone. It also syncs the birthdays with your contacts.

I like evernote but they don't plan to support reminders
Does anybody know of an app that you can add tasks to with reminders but it also syncs to the cloud and accessible via browser? Maybe an app that syncs directly with google calendar?
Thanks

See if you can get in on the beta for this app:
http://discussion.evernote.com/topi...ndar-app-for-android-alpha-beta-users-wanted/
It's basically a calendar app with Evernote integration. It might be what you're looking for,

Hi, I wrote "Calendar Manager" to create new offline calendars on my device (Samsung i9000). Since custom ROMs like AOKP or CM don't ship with the "local/phone/offline" calendar, known from Samsung devices. Its free, no demo, no ads.
For anybody who wants their appointments or tasks safe on their's device, just download the apk, install (remember to allow 3rd party apps in your device settings), and create as many calendars as you wish.
The offline/local calendars integrates into the standard calendar module of Android, so you can use them with any calendar application, like the stock calendar viewer.
You can sync the calendar for example with MyPhoneExplorer to Outlook, Thunderbird/Lightning and other programs. But it will never be copied into the cloud.
Have fun with it. (Attached)

thanks for sharing....friend....:laugh:
Nice! I will try it!
very nice, thanks alot:silly:
BTW, If some rom cooks reads this, maybe you are interested into integrating this lightweight app
Thanks a lot. You are my hero. After whole afternoon of google-searching you just offered simple solution to my problem
Yet a little suggestion - would it be possible to make the same thing for contact DB (like MyAccount app)?

I was already doing some research on the Android contacts database. I have no clue why, but it works completely different than the calendar database and on top the documentation is very - lets say compact. Almost as if someone doesn't want you to create offline data storages...
Neverthelesse - will try to implement it in my (very little) spare time.
Good work
Good work. It seems to work on emulator(Do not have a device running android 4.1 yet) Wish this would work on devices running Froyo (or Gingerbread). This would effectively mean we can use offline calendar without ever using Google sync. Wonder why Google does not launch a calendar application by default. Really appreciate the efforts buddy.
In any case, it would be nice if we could import icalendar files directly into Google Calendar(this is obviously not related to your software). Google contacts allows you to import any VCF file directly into contact but icalendar does not seem to work.

It was written to run on the custom roms like CM or AOKP which are base on Android 4.x, ICS, JB but don't ship with the local calendar. Samsung stock roms have the local "phone calendar" but CM does not, and they don't want to integrate it because they feel it doesn't make sense to not backup all your data to google. Well, I feel it makes sense to have my appointments stored locally only, so when I flashed AOKP I had to come up with a simple solution to lock Google out from my data.
(By the way I noticed, that Google syncs data from their calendar storage even if you switch syncing off. Weird isn't it?)

Really? Even if under settings you disable Sync feature it still syncs to Google Calendar is it?
I am surprised because ultimately I was going to use your app to get the Calendar DB started(if and when I get the latest Android phone running 4 or later) and sync stuff back and forth from the phone using MyPhoneExplorer. I do not want them synced anywhere. If an old Palm or for the matter the dated Windows Mobile can do it, I cannot fathom Google's reason for disallowing this feature.
Does anyone know if something similar is available fro pre ICS ROMs?
FYI, the people from MyPhoneExplorer may include offline calendar creation capabilities in their App in some future version. They intend to make it work on older systems, too.
The app is not working in my Nexus 4.
1 Installed the app
2 Disabled google calendar and calendar storage
3 Tried creating a new calendar in CM, app crashed
Is this happening because nexus doesnt have a inbuilt offline calendar? (as mentioned in the OP)

Hi, thanks for using my app and providing feedback.
I think the reason may be, that you disabled "calendar storage". This is an internal database in android, that holds all appointments from all calendars. So if it is disabled, no app can access any calendar. Google did really choose bad names for their apps and services. Here is my "Little Dictionary Of Confusing Google Identifiers and Explanations what they really mean" - that I wrote when figuring out what is NOT documented in the SDK (maybe intentionally, so that everybody just uses Google Calendar Sync...).
Google Calendar =
1) the google calendar web service
2) the google app that displays any calendar
3) the google calendar concept as a whole
Calendar Storage =
a relational database (guessing sqlite) that holds a table for all calendars and a table for all appointments. All calendars that want to use the Android calendar APIs and show the "system" calendars, must use it
Sync Provider =
a service in Android that syncs things from the phone to the cloud
Google Calendar Sync =
the sync provider service that moves appointments from Calendar Storage to Google Calendar (1) and vice versa
Local Calendar =
just a usual calendar in Calendar Storage. BUT it gets a a flag set, that it stays local. So none of all the Sync Providers has a chance to access that data.
Calendar Manager =
creates entry in calendars table in Calendar Storage with "local" bit set.

Maybe that explains why you should reenable the Calendar Storage and I should integrate a small checke to provide an error message in my app

I just stumbled across CalendarSync which can create a local calendar in Gingerbread (and maybe older versions, too). I don't see any limitations in doing this through the "free" version on the dev's web page, and don't know or care what else it does. I intend to use the local calendar with MyPhoneExplorer.

I am a newB to android and smart phones. I enabled both calendar and calendar storage, and then tried your app to create an offline calendar, it did work perfectly fine. I have selected only the local calendar that i had created with your app to be 'calendar to display' options in the default calendar. Sorry to have bothered you with my lack of experience and knowledge. And thanks for your long and patient reply
Just a short update: I did some more programming and investigation regarding Google's spontaneous synchronizations. I can confirm that you pull the plug by disabling "Google Calendar Synchronization" and "Google Contacts Synchronization" services.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiceeeee

What about an offline contact app as well? You write on your homepage "The problem doesn’t arise when it comes to contacts management, since Android ships with a built-in local contacts account that you can use. On most devices it is simply called “Phone” and co-exists with the Google-account-contacts.".
I've just checked a an AOSP ROM (Slim Bean for the Galaxy S2). There is no option to add a phone account, just one or more google accounts. So, I'm not able to use local contacts.
If you could develop a similar contact storage, this would be awesome!
Thank you.
Hi
Thank you for this! Been bugging me for a solution for like 2 days already.
Thank you!
In any way, can we backup this calendar offline (save to sd card) and then after flashing a new rom restore it from the sd card?
Good work mate!
Thanks

Mine seems to sync ok, but I have the Google account at as default for calendar. Might be that entries for Samsung account do not get synced with Google(?).
Edit: New Answer
Maybe I didn't have Google Calender installed. I don't remember it syncing both ways on my Note and remember a message stating so when first launching it.
Thanks for bringing this up.
Good concise explanation. It's confusing and is one reason I don't use the s-planner app at all. What I need is to add an event on one device and have it appear on all of them, and they're not all Note devices.
kable said:
Yep, It says that when you first open it.
It imports from Google calender but does not export any information which sucks because otherwise it is such a nice program.

Just checked on mine to be 100% sure, and it is working.
On my Note 8 i entered an appointment using Google account, even added picture snote, and it synced momentarily (except for the note).
Maybe try installing native Google calendar from the Market, and check if your sync works?

It is working fine for me too. I also have an exchange account from work and sync all the calendars fine and I can create appointments from the Note 8 and see it 1 minute after on my GNexus calendar.

Mine works. Under settings in the S Planner make sure you have the calendar for your gmail account checked, not your samsung. What does not sync are tasks.

Mine still doesn't work. Initial calendar got populated but any new updates don't work either from s Planner to Google calendar or visaversa

This would mean that sync had access to network and partly works.
Really strange. Maybe try deleting the Google account and clearing Google Calendar Sync data (settings/apps/all) + restart and then set it again?

Go to settings -> accounts and click Google. See if sync is disabled.
Have an update:
Initially I did not have Google calendar installed on Note; only S Planner. In Google sync calendar was checked. In S Planner mycalendar was the @gmail.com calendar. But this was rsulting in updates not flowing between teh S Planner and calendar on Google
Then I wrote this post..
Yesterday night I also installed Google calendar app on Note, and voilla... S Planner and Google Calendar (both app and actual web Google calendar) are now in sync.
So, my conclusion is that for S Planner and Google Calendar you need; last 2 sound obvious....
1. Both S Planner and Google Calendar apps installed on Note;
2. Google calendar sync turned on
3. Google calendar chosen as the calendar on S Planner
Can you check Google calender from the web and see if Google has your appointments saved there as well?
I always seemed to loose my appointments if I wiped my phone.
Thanks.

Yes, they are in Google Web calendar.
I've been using Googel calendar app (on android, iOS and Windows) for a long time an that was not an issue.
issue was adding things from S Planner were not saving to Google, and now they do

Hi,
I had same problem with my Galaxy SIII. When I installed the Calendar app from google, S Planner started to sync via it.
I also saw that under options->accounts->Google: Calendar did not want to sync without the google app installed.
Good luck! :good:

Had the same problem on my Galaxy Note 10.1, and nothing worked including installing the Google Callendar.
At some point I've noticed that the first field on the event creation page on the S-Planner is the callendar (In other words: you choose which callendar to create the event on).
For obvious reasons, the default one is device callendar which doesn't sync to anything. But once you change it once, it stays that way .
Hope it helps .
Calendar
I live and die by my Google Calendar.
Here's your problem (I think):
You have to go through the SPlanner, Google Calendar or the app of your choice and 1st enable and disable under each account which calendars you want to keep synced. I disable everything except my Google Calendar. 2nd In the configuration somewhere you should find an option for setting the default calendar.
Only the Google calendars will sync to Google Calendars - I know it seems obvious, but this is why I disable all the others.

the solution to this is whats stated above.
Tested everything with my s3 and the only thing worked is installing (or in my case re-installing the google calendar app on my s3)
thank you for this fix. I installed google calendar app on all my devices and no more sync problems between s-planner and Digical Calendar app. I just hide the google calendar icon
Just so you know... I have more than one Google account. One is dedicated to google play store only. I noticed that in Splanner the default may point to the first account. Which may be setup with everything disabled. Since I have both Samsung and Google accounts for calenders, I set all calenders as my option. Now all accounts sync. So be careful about which calender you set your Splanner to, as it may give you problems as well.

Problem is that in S-Planner you can dismiss and it remains on the calendar.
In G Calendar you need to delete.
Also with G Calendar enabled you need to do this twice.
I don't understant on my Note 8 I don't need G Calendar it just syncs.
In Note 3 it doesn't work without G calendar a real PITA.
Hello,
A short and simple question: should the 'Tasks' app that came preinstalled on the G4, should be able to sync with Google Tasks?
My account is on the list in the app, but the sync does not work and the app tells me that no account has been added.
Thanks for your help.
I would like to know this as well. This was possible ony my One X but on the G4, Task is not even syncing with my google account
