Fullscreen Calendar Widget - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a fullscreen (4 x 4) calendar widget for my N4. Something that has a monthly view NOT agenda view...
I'm currently using Business calendar widget, which is OK, but I'm looking for something better. Ideally something that's scrollable like the default Google Calendar app or the HTC Calendar widget (not available from the play store!).
I've tried:
- Jorte
- Pure Calendar
- GO Calendar
None of the above come close to the widget I'm looking for, even the S3 calendar widget is better!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try aCalendar - it has a 4x4 widget that you can resize to take full screen.

Thanks for the suggestion, but aCalendar doesn't seem to have a monthly view for the widget.
Any other suggestions?

Nice features, but not scrollable and no way to see events marked on the calender. Thanks anyway.
I'm really looking for a widget that looks like the google calendar app when you open it in monthly view. I still don't understand why there's no official Google Widget!!!
Any other suggestions?

I use simple calendar, but I don't think it does the monthly view which you want. But its pretty customizable

I'm actually pretty shocked that there's nothing as simple as this available in the Play Store!
Both HTC & Samsung come with these as STOCK widgets, does anyone know of anywhere where you can download the apk's for either of those widgets?

Trasparent calendar widget

Android Pro widgets has a calendar widget which can toggle between monthly calendar and agenda. It's themable also

aCalendar+ does have a monthly view and that is what I use as a full page widget. Well worth the money (which is not much)

Have you tried Pure Grid Calendar? I believe it has a monthly view and is scrollable. I use Business Calendar as well, the buttons to move from month to month work just fine for my needs.

Pure Grid Calendar and Touch Calendar Pro both have 4x4 month widgets.

Give Jorte another try - there's a 4x4 widget that should give you what you're looking for.

Take a look at the Pure Grid Calendar widget in the play store.

As suggested before, simple calender should fit the requirements And look good while at it

I used Calendar Pad Pro for a long time. I currently use CalenGoo, because it will sync my google calendar back infinitely. Both have monthly widgets.

+1 for pure grid calendar.. By far my favorite.

best of both worlds, have what you want... http://tinyurl.com/bq6ewth

I believe Wizz Widget Calendar sums up what youre looking for. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbm93YmVlLmNvbG9yaXplLmhkIl0.

This is android pro widgets.

Free Calendar app

Is there a free Calendar app that has a 4x4 widget that syncs with google calendar...

Personally I'm using the default Calender widget. You can resize it to 4x4. It's not as good as Simple Calender Widget but until that is fixed for ICS it's better than nothing.

You learn something every day, I did not know you could re-size widgets.
Ive succesfully done that but it just shows today, can you change the view to a monthly calendar?
Thanks though mate, appreciated
No prob. Glad to to help.
I don't see any way to change the display settings of the Calender widget though. Seems like it's stuck like that.

Have you tried Jorte? I don't know if it's updated for ICS yet, but it's my go-to calendar. You can display the whole month in a 4x3 or 4x4, with your calendar entries actually spelled out, instead of just a dot that you have to zoom in on to see what it is. Pure Calendar Widget also does this, but is widget only, and costs $2.99 in the market.
Android pro widgets is really clean.. Also it includes a nice timeline style widget with both Facebook and twitter!
I recommend the paid version.. Some good themes.
Edit: forgot I was still in galaxy Nexus forums.. Not sure if it is ics compatible.

[Q] Touchwiz calendar widget for nova launcher?

Hi guys,
I'm currently switcher over to start using nova launcher however I can't get the calender widget to act right. I love how it looks on TouchWiz, however when I use the widget over on nova launcher it's pretty terrible and overall different. On touchwiz, the Calender widget displays as a month view which is really nice, and I can easily add things to the calender without launcher the calender app.
On Nova Launcher, I'm finding that the calender widget is different, and instead of having a month view, it just shows the present day.
Any advice or Calender widget apps to recommend?
There are numerous calender apps on the market. Try a few of them.

I use retro date. It's part of the retro clock app.
Edit
Nvm. It just links to stock calender. I'm using adw launcher and the Callender widget looks the same as stock tw, but only a 2x3 size
I'm trying out Business Calendar and liking it so far. I'm trying to find replacements for all the TW features I like so I can jump to CM10 when it gets a little more stable.

Jorte doesnt allow me to resize the widget....
I use "business calendar" and used Jellybean OS to force resize their largest widget.
I just use the clock on my home screen to launch my calendar app. It's just as fast as swyping to a widget screen. Go launcher lets you resize any widgets.
I use pure grid calendar widget. Its the beat calendar widget hands down! So many options to choose from and themes

Another vote for the Pure calendar and/or the pure grid calendar widgets.
I have the pure calendar widget, but it doesn't have full screen calendar for the N7 (Tablet UI), even if I try to reside it.

pure calendar works full screen for me, i am using Nova launcher though, it allows me to resize.
But currently I am using Android Pro Widgets. It has the size- all resizable, and looks very good. It also has themes like pure calendar.
You should try it, the free version has no themes. I eventually bought the pro version. The facebook widget is also the best one I've seen.
Wizz Widgets ftw. I swear by it!.

Full screen calender widget

Can anyone recommend a full screen or 4X6 calendar widget that shows the full month view? Another member submitted this screenshot in a different post but never responded to my pm about it.

I'm using Jorte which has several resizeable widget options for a full screen calendar.
Calender
The best calender widgets that i found and use is Wizz (scroll-able widget)

Also think Business Calendar is good

Thanks for the input. Pure Calendar looks pretty good but I opted for the free Business Calender. It's exactly what I was looking for!

Transparency is only good so far, wow. I dunno how you'd possibly read anything there, although your screenshot only shows the calendar, not events...
As for me, I use Agenda Widget for Android, which is very customizable and works good. I've used it for the whole time I've used Android, honestly never looked to see if there was anything out there better since. It has a list view (agenda, but you can do almost anything with it) or a grid view (calendar).
The good thing about it is that it supports a bunch of third party calendar apps too, like it can show (and create) events in Touchdown Exchange, etc.
Another vote for Agenda Widget. BTW, you must get paid version to be able to see calendar layout. Like previous poster, I'm not even thinking about trying something else. It's just that good. At least for me.

calender pad pro is worth a look , been using it for some time.
The events show up as slashes in the corners of the dates.

That specific calendar is APW widgets with the Lucid theme. Both are available in the play store, though to use themes you have to buy the pro key. I just set up that combo from the same pic you showed. It resizes well.

---- Missing Calendar Widgets in ADW Launcher ----

For some reason, the Calendar widgets that come with the application are missing in ADW Launcher. The only one that shows up is the simple Calendar widget that lists the upcoming events. They other 2 missing ones are the tan color full calendar and mini calendar.
Is it that they are only meant for Touchwiz? What can I do to get them in ADW?
Thanks in Advance!

You can try Business Calendar by Appgenix. It has several widget options, although not as nice looking as the TW calendar widget.

Tw calendar is based on tw launcher we can't add it on any other launcher. It sucks but thats life. Ps for the future please for the sake of god!!!!! When we get cm10 we can't get any tw features. . Just fyi.. not say your doing this just hate seeing threads and post for the same thing..
But yeah even the weather and clock widget cant be added.. you can find other things to make it look cool. Its just built into the framework
Love tacotino
