For main calendar I really like Jorte.
Since it integrates with my google calendar, I can use any widget I want with it, which is good because I don't like Jorte's calendar widget.
For widgets I like both CalWidget and Android Agenda Widget

Pure Grid Calender, it is very similar to sense, except you cant scroll from month to month. You have to click a button, but whatever. Also it cost money and is not a free app. But it also has more widget sizes than HTC Sense one.

Does anyone know of an app that will allow multiple widget instances or a widget view that isnt every calendar I sync with. I am looking for something that will allow me to view my personal calendar on one screen and other calendars I subscribe to in another. Month view is perferred if possible. Thanks in advance for any info.
Android Agenda Widget might be worth looking into. I don't have multiple calendars so I can't test it out but under the settings there is an option that says"Widget calendars independence - Have separate calendars for each widget"
Not sure if month view is possible.
Definitely going to second Android Agenda Widget. Takes a bit of time to setup, but you can customize it quite a bit and get it to look just the way you want. I currently have three of the widgets setup because I use several calendars and it works great. I'm also not sure about the monthly view, I know you can set how far ahead it "looks" and do a few other things to that extent, though I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for. Either way, definitely give it a shot, it's a great app!
Pure Calendar also allows you to select which calendars it displays
I use Android Agenda Widget, but I can't get any of my calendars besides (my email) and U.S. Holidays to show up. When I go to Google Calendar (the site, not the app), I have a Birthdays/Anniversaries calendar, in addition to a few sports calendar. How do I get those to show up as well?
Thx 4 all the input but the list view of all events is not quite what I was looking 4... visual week or month... something like what u might find n a paper planner is closer 2 the overall goal... did try it and I must say Android Agenda Widget was the best of its kind I saw... and 2 linkraceist

Tap that round settings button bottom, center of the widget/tap "calendars"/ and select "choose calendar"... that screen should fix u up

I'm not satisfied with the calendar in Galaxy S (is it Samsung's own or Android stock?). Often I need to login into Google Calendar on the web to be able to customize my appointments as I want.
This I miss:
1. Be able to choose what calendar which is the default one. Now "My calendar" is the default, I want one of my two Google calendars to be default.
2. I want to be able to specify "repeat rules" (not sure what the english term is) better. It's not possible to make an appointment appear every second monday for instance. But it's possible to do through Google calendar on the web.
3. Specify notification tone.
And I want to keep everything that does work, like multiple calendars and syncing to my Google account etc.
Hi. I use jorte, free in the market.
Give it a try

Jorte is the best, which is not to say it's great.
It also has the best widgets.
Others don't come anywhere close as calendars, although they might have nicer looking skins.
Jorte is very good. But for the widgets i like more agenda widgets. Looks much nicer and has better options.
Gemini Calendar is a nice and free (available in the market) app and has useful widgets, although I've not tried any others bar the original SGS app
Non of them are really good. They do have the functions I'm missing in the original calendar app, but the GUIs are just horrible.
Is it possible to switch the Samsung Calendar to original Android calendar? Or maybe HTC Calendar?

you can switch to stock calendar here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735035
note: you will have a big "plus" sign on the top of your screen which i find pretty annoying. i just switched to jorte based on opinions here but honestly i use agenda widget most of the time. it's great and scrollable with launcherpro and syncs to RTM tasks as well. love it.

thanks for pointing this out. really cool app with some great features (love the slider for setting event dates/times).
i only wish it had week view on it. really impressive app though!
Seems every calendar I find is quite limited.
One thing in particular I want to be able to do is when I add an event, I on occasion want to be able to add it to multiple calendars.
Of course other things such as search the calendar; copy an entry; have longer reminder times to choose if I want.
Any suggestions on an app?
The calendar in launcher pro is very nice

I have that, and it is not a calendar replacement, just a widget to display from current calendar. Agree, it is nice.
Since posting a bit ago, I have found that I can use the Participants box to 'invite' my wife, and then she gets an email which she has to accept the invitation. That at least will accomplish that.
Regarding search, i have found a couple widgets that I could consider.
Just have to piece it together I guess.
one of the frustrating things about Sense 5 is that the the productivity lock screen doesn't have a Gmail option.
obviously there is a Gmail lock screen widget in Android 4.2, but i can't use that because of Sense.
. . .any workarounds? (other than setting up the Mail app with my Gmail account)
Move the Gmail icon to your dock?
that would allow quick access to the Gmail app - but is there any way to get a preview of a new Gmail on the lock screen?
The productivity lock screen baffles me..Sometimes it doesn't even show text messages..it kind of does what ever it wants..But if you want emails to show up there you can use the HTC mail app and link it to your gmail..Unless you are gunho on using the official gmail app.

fair enough. thanks for the response!
Yeah, you have to use the official HTC mail app, which I actually prefer. I have all 4 of my email accounts (3 are gmail) linked to it instead of the official app. The folder functionality and color coding between the accounts just makes more sense to me personally.
I purchased this phone when it first came out. I use exchange email like high school kids use text messaging. The sense 4 widgets widgets were the best on any device. Can we instal sense 4 widgets on sense 5? I don't like the cheesy go launcher widgets prefer sense.
