I don't like the newest captivate's calendar. It is not very functional. It doesn't let me set up recurring dates like my pure would. Is there any way I can totally replace it? If so what would be a good replacement? Im rooted, if that help. Please Help!!!!
What do you mean? I can set up repeating events on my calendar.
I said that I couldn't do it. You may be more advance or you may not need it to repeat every 16 to 17 days. But my question was and still is: Can the calendar be replaced (with a easier one) ? If so what would be a good replacement? Im just saying I don't like it. Not that everyone else should not like it. I need help Moding my phone to my liking. Again please Help if you can.
Simmah down now. I was just trying to help. As far as I know, you can't really REPLACE the calendar, just install one you like and don't use the stock one.
Thank you. Im in no way upset. I just wanted you and all others tp know my intent. I guess the pure's calendar spoiled me.
For the type of customization you need, it may be easier to use the google calendar web interface. I think you can customize repeating events much more flexibly there.
Why not try to install the AOSP Calender? It might be better.

Just ran into this over at Freewareppc.com! I haven't tried it yet so I am not sure how good this program is. Just thought I would let you all know. Link: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/oto.shtml
Thanks, Sherpa. This app goes perfectly with the default gray HTC theme but really lacks usability for the moment. I mean, it does what it says it does, but that's really not enough for me to use it as it is. There doesn't seem to be a way to import your appointments and tasks or sync them. It could be a really nice calendar replacement with further development. Just my .02.

Well i have lurked for a while but finally posted as i am really struggling. I have a orange branded kaiser tilt, i have installed,Home Customizer and swapped the clock but everything else is still above me,there a couple of things id like help with if anyone can preferably free as i am kinda skint after buying my kaiser >< ? Listed below many thanks:
On the main kaiser screen i have got contacts and calendar i want to get rid of calendar and swap it for something else is this possible ? .
A good wifi app that will show me unsecured hot spots that i can jump onto when out and about ? Just installed WIFIFOFUM2 but it doesn't allow you to connect the the hot spots ?
A method of swapping the kaiser menu so that the 4 square thing were you can put your fav contacts to something else or make it so when i click it it brings up the text or call thing instead of just ringing them ?.
And anyone got any other suggestions of apps i should install ? id like to totally customize my home screen but i am really not sure on how to do it ?
I know most of these questions have probably been asked before but i struggled to find them in search so any help appreciated many thanks
You have got to be kidding! Everything you asked has been repeatedly asked and answered. Why do some many of you people think you have just asked the most original, brilliant question. Search some more. Read and be educated. Stop being such a lazy a$$.
I fully understand your anger but its what to put into the search box to bring up the result i am after that is what i am having difficulties with anyone care to enlighten me ?
I'm not angry at all. Just perplexed at the lazy people who come on the forum and ask the same questions over and over again.
Use the link in my signature, below. It is a better way to search the site. Then get creative in your search terms.
For example, if you want to know about changing the calendar then type in terms like- replace calendar bottom of screen- and you will get this, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=replace+calendar+bottom+of+screen&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images
Try that a little and I am sure will get the knack for it.
Of course, please read the stickies and the Wikis.

1. Schaps advanced config<< look in the link in my sig.
2. wififofum << put that in your search and you'll find it.
The new iPhone is out and I think it might be a perfect fit for you. Then, you can go to an iPhone forum and post interesting questions!
Or, you can keep your phone and learn how it works by reading and playing with it???
The only thing I can suggest that you install on it is a search application. MSN and Google make one that is easy to install and you can find the Google App here:

Hello everyone
im now for almost a week a lucky owner of the htc diamond...
It's working like a charm!
But I have to questions:
-> When I have more than one wholeday calendar-entry (for example a busy note, and a birthday) only one entry (in my case the busy note) is displayed, the birthday I only see when I lauch the calendar application... Is that normal? Where can I change that?
-> Second thing: When I click on the calendar, it starts always the ugly agenda view, also if I changed the default view in the calendar options. Where do I have to set the switch?
I didn't find the answers. If they are already available, I ask you to provide me the correct link on saying sorry.
Thank you, Sven
Please view this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399983&page=6
Thank you..
I tried this already.. It also shows only one wholeday-entry when the clock is small...
Do you have an idea to the second question?
thank you,
sven
In the manual it says that it is only designed to show:
1 all day event
up to 2 timed events
When tapped, it will only bring up the Agenda view of the Calendar, this is by design and so far nobody has found a way of showing more calendar events or getting it to open the built-in calendar on any other view other than Agenda view.
Also, nobody as yet has found a way of making it open a different calendar application eg AgendaOne or Pocket Informant etc.
I believe people are trying to do this, but so far nobody has succeeded. I'm sure that if somebody does, it will happen on this forum and we will all know about it!
Hey marisa
thank you for your answer I'm not a friend of manuals, nor I'm a friend of restrictions...
I now have found a way to start the calendar in day-view (in fact I think it wouldn't be a problem to start any calendar with this way)
Is there a request for smt like this? Should I try to create a helper?

If you've managed to do this then I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who would want to be able to do this. Maybe you should start a new thread with that in the title and put there the explanation of how you did it.
Will only specific apps run on android? Its just my mate wants to get Freecaddie on his Hero, and I have it on my Touch HD. I have checked on the website but not sure whether to try and put the winmo cab on and run that or will it mess the phone up... any help greatly appreciated..
I'm not a programmer so I could be completely wrong, but I don't think that will work. That's like trying to run a Windows program on a Linux machine - unless the developers specifically made a Linux version it just won't work. Probably the best thing for your friend to do is look around on the market for that application or a similar one.
(And before a Linux defender comes to correct me - yes, I know you can get windows emulators that run in Linux, but I'm not aware of those existing for phones.)
Ia m may get flamed here, but i am sure , a windows moblie app will not run on a linux based os, unless some one has made W.I.N.E (linux geeks like myself will understand) for andriod then No sorry !!

Not just like, that's exactly the case here
@Milesjasjar
It won't work. As another poster mentioned though, search the market. I've found apps to do most things (apart from a really good calendar app!!!)
P.S. Good luck for Saturday, hope the Saints do it. It's about time.

If what you don't like with the HTC calendar is that it displays all events on the monthly view in exactly the same way, you can try the Pure Calendar widgets (dev's website here). The 'Grid' one displays a coloured bar at the top of each day in a monthly view, its length representing how long the appointment is and the colour which calendar it's part of. It loads data from Outlook and Google calendars without trouble. The dev also makes an agenda style widget, but I haven't used it. Unfortunately you have to pay about £1 for either.
Hi,
Thanks I'm already using Pure Calendar and have the Grid too. I agree it's the best available at the mo but having just moved over from WinMo I'm waiting for someone to release a major app like Pocket Informant. Unfortunately developers seem wary as they are not sure people will be willing to pay £20 for an Android app (although I would be if it's good enough!)

Cheers for the responses guys.. at least I know what to expect when i get my own hero... I keep looking but still not ready to make the jump, guess I am far to comfortable with the Winmo UI. But the gap is closing on the usability.. as long as i can import everything from outlook, and find a free golf program then i might make the jump sooner..
Does anyone know of a good easily customisable widget that will show lost calls, recived emails/SMS`?
I have looked, but it takes time to try them all just to find out it was'nt what i wanted...
I need something that is easily skinable/or at least easy to change color/font etc
Do not need big icons, PLAIN text will suffice..
Have looked at executive assistant but it gets to... complicated..
Need it simple.. have also seen that some people use tasker to create such events/variables etc, but just seems to much of an hazzle, at least considering i flash my phone TO often
Anyone with got any tips... paid apps not a problem
eks:
Phone SMS Mail
1 3 6
See?.. just simple and plain
(Hmm.. seems the number did not correcly allign themselfs... you get the point )
I have also checked out the SMS unread count, but the icons are just to dull...
Anyone who can point me in the right direction regarding where i can find the icon.png's?
