Best Calendar App?

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

Beautiful Widgets

Who has this app? I've read some reviews that it wasn't working on the Galaxy S so I wanted to see if anyone had it?
I am using Launcher Pro. Who else is, and if so, any issues with the weather or time updating?
Thanks!

Works great for me. I love it

Thanks. This is the type of response I want!
Bought it cause you said it was good! I like it.

Glad to help. Was one of the first things i got for the phone

I use fancy widget which from what I can tell looks exactly the same and does the same thing but is free.

App works great, but for some reason lately it does not update the time. First it was the weather, now its the time. I'm not sure what's going on. Looks good, but I may use a different app for weather/time since it's not updating properly

I also have Beautiful Widgets on my phone (AT&T, Galaxy S international version). I had problems with the time updating too; that was with version 3.02. Currently version 3.04 seems to be working - so far.
I tried Fancy Widget, but since I switched phones I had to find the apk on the internet. I like it but it takes up more space than Beautiful widget's smaller home.
El Mono

Works fine for me. I like fancy better.

I perfer Weather and Toggle Widget myself, I skipped Fancy Widget because I wasn't sure if it would continue to receive updates as issues crop up.

[Q] Stock Gallery App

Im running tnt 4.4 and am having issue with stock 3d gallery.

I second this, QuickPic is much, much faster than the 3D Gallery app. I don't know that making wallpapers "look right" is really on the Gallery app (stock or not), but on the size and resolution of the wallpaper.

Whats the resolution gtab

1024 by 600.
I'm quickpic too. Wallpapers looking great

I would get Quick Pic for a gallery replacement, it is much more functional than any stock version and blistering fast as well. Then get multi picture live wallpaper to set your wallpaper with. After install you will have to choose wallpaper -> live wallpapers -> multi picture live wallpaper to set your wallpapers to display correctly on your tablet.
The best combo I have found for this tablet and my CM7 Nook Color. MPLW is the only I way I have found to get wallpapers to display correctly on any tablet that I have ever dealt with. There is a thread about this particular problem around here somewhere, search is your friend. Do a search for multi picture live wallpaper in the Gtab forums and you will find it. I think it (the thread) even goes as far as telling you the way to modify existing images or create your own to display correctly when chosen as wallpaper when you choose them by using the traditional method.

OK here is the link thanks for being patient....http://www.mediafire.com/?1vhjevbevl74vzy

One more I want to toss in the ring.
Flick Ur Pic.
Get it from the market and use it in place of the Multi Picture Live Wallpaper I mentioned earlier. It scales the images perfectly on my Gtab. You use it just like MPLW in that you use it from the live wallpaper chooser. You can set up to nine images to rotate, or use only one and make it static with no transition effects. This one even has it's own image browser so there is no need to even have a gallery installed to use it as far as I can tell. I do still recommend Quick Pic as a gallery app for everyday image duties such as browsing and such.
Works great for me and this is the one that I will be sticking with from here on out unless it starts causing problems in other areas. LOL
Have fun with it ..... HTR

[Q] Default G-Tablet app

When you search google or any other search engine for the g-tablet, you get images of the gtab with a weather app on it... does anyone know what the hell that app is called? Is it part of tapntap? I played with it for about 10 mins before I flashed Vegan and have been trying to find a good weather/dashboard app (something that shows current weather/news/missed emails/yada yada ;D
Does anyone know? Or can you point me to a good "dashboard" app that has the features mentioned above. I'm willing to pay, doesn't have to be a freebie. I've searched the marketplace high and low and can't find anything that does that...or I'm not searching under the right tools.
Thanks in advance!
Tim

I flashed vegan right after I got mine, and I just use a set of beautiful widgets to make my homescreen the way I want it. It has time and weather, and I have a page just for facebox and twitter. No idea how to take screenshots, else I'd post a few.

That image is the "dashboard" that is the Tap'n'tap UI when not in classic mode. I've never used any of the TNT Lite ROMs which I understand are stripped down and improved versions of the Tap'n'tap ROM but I absolutely hated the stock ROM and the Tap'n'tap UI during the blissfully brief period I use it.

No, the "dashboard" has a weather area, a news area, and an analog clock. However, tapping on the weather area will take you to the pictured app.

Sense 6 - missing HTC Live Wallpaper (multiple pictures)

Hi all I have just upgraded to Sense 6 and it seems HTC have removed the live wallpaper that lets you select multiple pictures from the gallery. I loved that wallpaper, is anyone else seeing the same or could someone upload the wallpaper I am referring to?
Thanks.

Yes, it's not there. I still have the old 5.5 ROM backup tough (I used it to restore old Notification sounds) so if you can tell me the name, I can upload it for you.

that is very kind of you. I really can't remember, i know it was in the HTC Live Wallpapers, maybe had the word album or gallery in the title? Why would they remove it, I thought it was excellent...

It is called HTCImageWallpaper.apk - unfortunately it does not work with Sense 6. Probably missing some other resources, so it needs porting.
But just in case, there is the .apk - it can not be installed, bust be placed manually to /system/priv-app

Thanks for the apk. It sucks that it doesn't work, I wouldn't know how to port it so I'm off to play store to find an alternative

Did you find a good alternative? From what I can see, it looks like most of the play store options have some kind of fatal flaw

No I didn't find anything worthwhile. It's a shame I really like that LWP.

What features did the HTC one have that put it in such high favor? I've been looking for a good slideshow WP app for a while. These are the best I've found:
Landscape Wallpaper - Good settings. Separate WP for lockscreen. Offers wallpaper scrolling, if desired (good when launcher doesn't support.) Can't choose to update on wake (only time limit), however seems to update on wake after timespan has elapsed.
Wallpaper Changer - Best options for gallery selection. Let's you choose and save custom albums, mixed of folders and individual pics. Can't modify albums. Seems quirky.
MultiPicture Live Wallpaper - Simple, works great. Can set to update with screen awake or even double tap. Supports web albums.

What I liked was the slow pan across each wallpaper before it faded to the next one.
I had a set of wallpapers with the same colours but different designs and it would switch to one, pan across, then fade to the next and pan across... I think the choice of panning left or right was random. It was just a nice behaviour that wasn't distracting but added a little interest, and the fade meant there was no jarring switch from one wallpaper to the next. Also it seemed to have no effect on battery usage,
