Hi, I'm trying to get the HTC Calendar to my phone. I have installed the ROM TastyGingerbread 2.0 but I want the HTC Calendar. I like it. I have tried to push a few from different Custom ROM's (the two I tried was from MaDoCo's and Villan's 12 ROM's) but I always get a force close after Reboot.
Are they not compatible? Is there something from the HTC apk's that I need as well? Help. I like the HTC Calendars because they show the month view on the screen when I add a widget to the Android desktop.
TA.
you need rom with sense to use htc calendar.
just grab some other sense-like calendar widget from market
OK I see, I just wanted one that displays a whole month on a whole page. Can anyone recommend a free one?
TA
I use CALENDAR PAD and it is by far the best one available, I should know, I have tested them all, and its free,, let me know if its what you were looking for.
http://goo.gl/QT0nl calendar widget, literally
Simply open the Stock-Android-Calendar app, hit the menu-button and 'Month'.
Done
I will try them all and see which one I like. GZfan I wanted a month view on the screen so that I can just select the date and add in a reminder. I know the stock calendar has a month view but it is 4-6 clicks before I can add a reminder as opposed to one click.
I use calendars for reminders and at a glance I can just click the date then add the reminder. I am not interested in seeing what I have for each day like some people want.
Or else Use Home apps - Launcher Pro , It has calendar own built

Some kind of system montior widget would be great. ie, something that would show: CPU frequency, CPU load, swap usage, battery level, disk usage on fat + ext...
I don't know about other people, but I normally check this stuff from the terminal, so it would be nice to have a widget.

super social net widget
I would suggest an integrated Twitter/Facebook/GTalk(Jabber)/SMS-MMS widget where you can see everything in one location (maybe tab based or mixed with a label of some sort).
If tabbed, the number of new messages could be part of the tab label or added to the notification bar.
If everything shows in same window, then touching a message could either allow the user to respond or open the appropriate app.
Could be enhanced later with LinkedIn, Plaxo, etc. based on what people want.
Hummmm ... good idea an email widget.
Does it exist only on Hero now ?

Main problem with this are API.
Most API have restrictions for commercial uses... so, to use thoses API, you have to create your software as 'free'... This is not my goal.
I believe it does as I can't see it anywhere else
well it's not really a widget i'm missing. but a program to auto end and auto-start other programs at specific times would be great
so one could auto-end k-9 at 23:00, have a good night's sleep and have it autostart at 7:00 to read all the new mails...

You could try and make a bookmark widget like the one in hero

I cant really think of anything that isnt in the market. but i know of a few things that i think are in the market, but can be done better...
personally, i liked the WM 6.2 screen where you had a scrolling "widget" that you could use to place direct call shortcuts... id love to see a android version of that...
the ones out there are ok, but they arent as clean looking as the WM take on it... from what ive seen of your work, you are the person that i think could create something like what im thinking of...
the one on the hero is fine, but, i even think its a bit clunky...

I would really like to have a dialer widget. I hate the default behavior that the green call button brings up the call log instead of the dialer. In fact, I would be quite happy if the built-in dialer could be made into a widget. I imagine it would take up an entire home screen but I'm fine with that.

fluent scrolling is impossible with current SDK. You have to simulate scrolling with buttons ... not very fun.

No he can't. Just because there is no way on normal android launcher to have a scrolling widget.

Hi,
I have have had the desire for a few weeks and my wife decided to get one to however the shop only had a Nexus One and I persuaded my wife to get it (because it is the same).
The one thing which I am struggling to do is get a way to get Facebook profile photos onto a widget that is like the People widget on the desire that pulls the Facebook photos across.
I can get the facebook photos into the contacts but cannot get them to show on a widget (tried People widget demo).
Any help before I start to consider dire options would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jazz
get a new wife.
Maybe switch your Desire for her Nexus One.

Root it, and flash the desire ROM.
She will then have a desire with a Nexus shell and internals...

As long as she doesn't depend on blue tooth, fine.
She needs bluetooth for work
Youre out of luck unless you switch phones :\
Earn brownie points and trade phones with her. ;-)
"Root" her and "flash" her. Let's hope that works damn well!
Some dragon/passion will work wonders on her

You can create a direct dial widget with stock android that will show whatever photo is in the contact. Long press home screen > Shortcut > Direct Dial
Also a program called syncmypix in market that will pull your facebook pics in for you.
I have looked around, and haven't found much. I'm looking for a calendar app that
has a little more kick than the android calendar. Actually, I only have a few things
wrong with the stock calendar:
-Doesn't let me add events biweekly.
-Widget isn't cool enough.
I know I can get different widgets that connect to the google calendar, so that
doesn't bother me that much. However, is there a calendar app/mod that allows
me to add events every other week? Rather than every and every third? Thanks.
pure calendar widget + adw launcher or launcher pro = scrollable calendar widget like sense UI if you like that kinda thing.
I had pure calendar widget, and I have launcher pro, and I did like it, but it doesn't solve my biweekly problem =/ (It's actually for the trash collection here. We get fined if we don't sort our garbage, so we have three bins, and one is collected every week, while the other two are collected every other week. I'm trying to keep track because I'm always forgetting)

hmm wish I could suggest something else but I don't use the calendar much and have only tried pure calendar.

While I can't suggest any apps (still looking for a decent calendar app that displays events nicely), you could probably add the reminder in Google Calendar, which does support biweekly schedules, and email/SMS notifications. I have a report due on Friday every week, so I've configured mine to email me 30 minutes prior, SMS 10 minutes prior, and the default Calendar app pops up an Android bar notification on my N1 about 15 minutes prior too.
Pure Grid Calendar ?
Agenda Widget

I live in a rural (ish) area. I'd have to drive a few minutes to see what other people are putting on the curb. And I'll try using the real google calender. didn't think of that.

Android Agenda Widget, yep, works awesome. And agreed; put the event in the Google Calendar web interface directly, unless you need to do this stuff all the time.
Well, even the site won't let me add an item on a biweekly basis, but that's okay. I put it in for every week, and I'll just figure it out then. As for a decent widget. I'm a minimalist. I want this widget to be 4x1 and minimal. My home screen has always been almost nothing, but I would like this to be on there.

Android Agenda Widget has every size you can imagine.. 2x2 2x3 2x4 3x1 3x2 3x3 3x4 4x1 4x2 4x3 4x4
Yes I'm seeing that. And the customizability level is intense. I think I found a winner! =D
Go to google calendar
Create event
Select repeats weekly
Repeat every ___ weeks <-------------------
Its an option after you select weekly
And +1 for agenda widget! Used it since day one and its awesome

Thanks for this. I never even clicked on weekly. Brilliant.
And I know! There's only one thing I want to change, but I don't think it can be done. But I'm happy with the the widget nonetheless =D
I can't believe that with so many widgets offers I can't seem to find the one that I really need:
A well laid out, elegant, customizable (i.e. transparency) and fully working Bookmarks Widget for the stock browser, stock ROM that is designed to work with a tab, not a phone.
The only promising solution I found was "Bookmarks in a list" but it failed to work properly on my 8.4 device (didn't retrieve the existing bookmarks)
I can't believe I am stuck with those ugly star-banners individual stock widgets.
...Can you guys help?

Try dash clock, there are lots of extension's on play store. Might find one to suit plus all can be made fully transparent. Probably won't help but worth a look.

Android Pro Widgets. It's a paid app but has free themes and you can set transparency amount. Has widgets for calendar, email and social apps too.

This was a good idea. Even more so, since I already paid for it, as I used it some time ago on my previous Galaxy 7.7. I only had to install it.
Unfortunately, it behaves like the "Bookmarks in a list" app: It does not fetch my current bookmarks. Even while making sure that "Stock Browser" is selected in the app configuration page, it fails to correctly do so. It seems to display from a "bookmarks" folder created when I ran "Chrome" for a while.

I use it with Chrome so don't see this problem. Chrome may not be the best browser on Android but I keep going back because of the bookmark sync feature for all devices, regardless of OS. For me, this greatly simplifies managing bookmarks.

Install Chrome. It comes with a resizable widget of its bookmarks, and the bookmarks will open to your default browser, which does not have to be Chrome.
anyone also facing the same issue?
on Nougat i can just create a chat head shortcut from Facebook Messenger
but once i updated to Oreo (CLEAN INSTALL, full wipe and all)
i can no longer create any shortcut
- tried to uninstall/reinstall
- tried to be a part of the beta program
- clear cache/data
still same
any resolution would be great
thanks!
Same issue.
Yep I have the same thing.
Beta or not, still missing.
What launcher y'all using? Does it depend on the launcher? ???
Hi, What I have read, it does not depend on launcher, it depends on the OS it self. Oreo for some reason disabled this feature on lots of apps that can make shortcuts like that.
I've encounter the same thing on messenger but this is what i did (see ss) and it works fine now. I hope that's the same thing you mean.
It's in the settings>apps>messenger and look into advance option.
Warrenforfree I think perhaps you've misunderstood the issue here? Apologies if I am wrong. I think you're response is in regards to chat heads not showing over other apps or at all. However, the issue in question is that on devices running the Oreo OS, you are not able to create a shortcut on the home screen to individual chats, similar to the attached image.

yes you are right
surprisingly even on 8.1.0 its not there
I'll tell you why FB removed it ... Chat list now contains advertisements that FB wants you to see :/ If there is no way of duplicating desktop shortcuts then there is no way of doing it :/
Hello, new here and have been looking for a solution to this for about half a year. I'm not sure that FB wanting you to see their ads is the case. I have multiple devices that still allow me to add shortcuts to the home screen except for my main phone. I use Nova Prime on all of them and I am not able to add them on my LG G7. The option isn't even there yet it is on all my other devices. When I switch back to the default launcher I still cannot add a shortcut. I've done the whole uninstall/reinstall/ clear the cache/data thing. Contacted FB. Using a Nova backup from a previous phone, LG G6 which already had the shortcuts it put those on my screen and those work just fine.
