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:

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.

Thanks for linking me to your thread from cm10. I had the update, uninstalled, flashed yours and got no calender. D/l update again and it seemed to work fine.
Thanks again

Just noticed that the home screen calendar widget seems not to be working after installing this.
Anyone else?

Is it possible to have a quick guide on how to do this mod ? thanks in advance
It looks like the issue has been addressed in Android 4.2 on the Nexus and some people have worked on porting this updated messaging app into their ROMs. I have looked through all of the available ROMs and cannot seem to find the most recent version in them. I might be missing what I am looking for though. Does anyone know if the changes found here are available in any ROMs?:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve.../207431-group-text-messaging-jb-achieved.html
I would even take a stock rooted rom with these changes in it if I had to. If messing around with a ROM kitchen is the answer that is fine too. I might have to go that route.

I would love to dump GOSMS hopefully this happens
The slim ROM seems to have it. Native group messaging and it seems to work. Some messages, although small seem to be slow to download. But that could just be me.

I think I'm part of a minority here, but I'm trying to find the current version of Facebook Home, patched so it'll install on Nexus 4. I'm running the modaco one from a while ago but have to miss out on new Facebook and Messenger features because of it. Anyone know if there's an updated patched version anywhere?
Hello All,
I'm new to the forums, new to android, and new to rooting. I recently switched over from iphone, and it has been a bumpy yet fun ride.
I have an unlocked Galaxy SIII SGH-i747M running the Illusion ROM, android ver. 4.2.2 illusion ver. 4.2.2.2.1 beta
I really miss the stock email app and S-voice, I'm trying to get them back. I've tried the email app from this package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28000240
as well as this modded app here, which installed OK but doesn't seem to be working as it will not sync any mail no matter what sync settings I choose.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28246860
I don't know what to do about the S-voice. So far what I've read says it cannot be done. Any ideas guys? Please go easy on me, as I am new to this stuff and yes, I did do my research on the forums and wasn't getting anywhere on my own. Thanks!

While I'm only 99 percent certain, I'd say this is not going to work for you. From what I know, both of these apps are integrated and reliant upon the Touchwiz interface to work correctly. May be a stupid question, but have you correctly set the incoming/outgoing servers in the email app?

Yes, I believe so. I used the same settings which did work when I had touchwiz. I could tell it was talking to the server because it still prompted to accept all the security settings, etc. it requires, just would never display anything in the inbox.
I did get the s voice to work last night, though (yay) a couple bugs but will work for me. If I cant use the stock email app, do you have any other suggestions? Something lightweight and clean?
Thank you.

When you installed the email APK, did you use a package installer or did you place it in system/apk? If you took the latter step, you may have needed to fix the permissions of the apk. If you used a package installer you may want to try the system apk method. Let me know if you don't fully understand and I will try to be of more help. BTW the permissions should read rw x r x r
. Another thing to look into would be to install the secemail.apk from the S4, as it may be an Android 4.2 thing.
Edit: fix posted below!
Verizon HTC 10
On any non-sense rom (lineage/AOSP) I am unable to receive uncompressed images or gifs via sms/mms. Images are received very low quality and grainy, and gifs show up as a black and white still image.
This happens regardless of what texting app I use, textra/messenger etc..
On any stock or Sense rom (Viper, Leedroid, stock), sms/mms images and gifs come in uncompressed and working fine on any texting app.
I am running the latest firmware S-off. Tried factory resets, full wipes/formats and RUUs, downgrading to MM and everything else I could think of. The issue persists.
This thread had someone say that modifying mms_config.xml inside the Android messenger apk would fix the issue. I searched for ways to complete this, or others with similar issues no no avail. It also doesn't make sense that the same app works fine on a sense rom, unless it pulls that data from the rom itself? Either way I am a bit over my head.
Is this a VZW issue, or is it just me, or the same for everyone else?
I am a huge aosp/lineage/stock android fan, but unfortunately this is a deal breaker.
I am not sure if there is a fix, or this is also related to VOLTE not working on non-sense roms.
I'm hoping someone here might be able to help out, I posted a similar thread on the VZW htc10 Q&A, but no one had an answer.
Thanks a bunch for reading!
bump for vis
This is no longer an issue, using the fix detailed here:
"My friend, -4ndr01d-, figured out a fix for this. He used Textra, set the size limit to 2 MB, and set the MMS to legacy."
Currently running the latest pure fusion and everything is working great!
