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...

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?

[Q] How to remove the "videos" icon from app drawer?

I have tried deleting com.htcstreamplayer.apk from /system/app but the icon in question is still there. I searched on the internet and found a thread talking about the icon is part of htcmusic.apk, so I deleted that too and it is still there.
The persistence of such icons makes me want to free my app drawer of it more badly! So if you can show me how to do it, I am much obliged!

Hello !
I have "upped" the topic because I have the exact same question.
I have rooted my device and was able to delete HTCMusic.apk and a lot more, but I am unable to find which .apk file or which application is launched when the "Videos" icon is pressed.
I would like to froze the application related to that icon. I know it's possible because I've done that for the "Miror" icon (which is in fact a component of the Camera application) in order to make it disappear from the drawer.
Can you help us please ?
Thanks in advance. (Sorry for my English, I'm French).

The solution
Hi all,
I'm sorry to double-post but I've found a solution for those who are still interested (I have an HTC ChaCha, but I believe it also works for Desire HD).
You must download an app remover from the Google Play Store, which includes a feature called "Freeze", and which is able to disable application components.
For example I have paid for ROM ToolBox Pro (it includes the Advanced Freeze feature).
The component used by Video icon is in fact packed into the "Gallery" application : .TabPluginDevice.ActivityAllVideos, you can disable it safely.
After .TabPluginDevice.ActivityAllVideos is disabled, the Videos icon disappears from the drawer.

Default Share To app?

Hi
I have switched to LG G3 from Samsung S3 and I miss a simple feature. Mostly, I use WhatsApp for sharing photos, links etc. There used to be a "most used/default" share to icon in my gallery, etc. Is there any way I can setup so that WhatsApp shows in the 1st few App list, than the default alphabetical list?
Thanks in advance.

I think that's dependant on the application share menu? You can install the AOSP gallery apk and try.

[Q] Joined contacts - no icons in list, no tabs when editting

Just upgraded to the Verizon LG G3 from Samsung S3. Overall, not displeased though some things are bugging me. At the moment it's 2 specific things about the contact app. I'm attaching a few sample images for reference.
On the S3, when listing contacts, if there were joined records, it would list an icon for the source of the data (Ex. Phone, Google, Facebook). On the G3, there is no such indication until you actually open the contact up. Then it does show you. I liked knowing where the data came from before I opened it up. Was a nice highlight.
On the S3, when editing joined contacts, there was a tab for each source at the top. Pick the tab you wanted and you could edit just that info in the screen below. Was very clean. On the G3, it's one long scrolling list. Each section is separated by a drop down that shows where it comes from but it's really not friendly at all.
Can the stock app be modifed to function this way? Are there alternate apps that can be installed to provide the same kinda of look/feel? Overall, I don't mind the color differences. If I had to choose one over the other, I'd rather have tabs when editting the contacts since I can still see what sources are joined when the contact is selected.
I am rooted using the stock B3 ROM and have blocked OTA Updates so I have no risk of losing root. Not really interested in installing other ROMs, just tweaking the few app interfaces that bug me. Using APEX Launcher, not that I think it matters but putting it out there just in case.

Custom Phone label missing too
AGH!! Today I found out that on contact stored directly on your phone, the option to choose a CUSTOM label for a phone entry and type your own is also missing. It existed on the Samsung S3 AND it exists on the LG G2 but it's completely missing on the LG G3. It is available on the Google contacts but I store most of my contacts on the phone and let Verizon back them up. As a result any phone #s that Verizon restored to my phone that used a Custom label don't show up now in those contacts..
Add that to the list of things I'm find wrong with the contacts app shipped with Verizon's LG G3. Confirmed this is the case with LG Support. They basically said "Oops, yeah you're right. I'll forward it on to the developers for a future update. Would love it if someone here had any ideas to fix these 3 issues.
I'd categorize them as follows:
Custom Label: Missing Feature that should be added back
Tabbed Editting: Improvement to UI
Icons on the list screen: Improvement to UI (not as important)

[Q] Strange font input

Hi
My htc One has just been upgraded to Lollipop and I note that all the descriptive text (such as the snippets of emails , unread counts on icons, etc) is showing up as outline only as on attachment. I cannot find a setting which allows me to modify this although I have tried a number of different fonts and also looked for some means of editing on both Android settings and my Nova launcher as well. I'm sure there's a setting I can use SOMEWHERE, but so far I'm unable to find it. Any ideas out there?
Thanks
