Guys,
Is there any application that would allow me to have a REGULAR Calendar on the X8? I'm tired of the widget from Launcher Pro (which is great don't get me wrong for the eye to see) but I can't add an event since it tells me I have no calendar installed, so is there anyway I can get this matter resolved?

I have tried the "background calendar" app from the Market, but it isn't good as I think; first, the notes will interfere with the clock widget, second it take the data from my remote gmail account instead from local calendar (so if I cannot connect, it will not work or I cannot update it) and third (but this maybe a my inability) the background of the application isn't the one what I chose... So I ask: there is a calendar application that works like the symbian or WM one and display the appointment and the other reminder notes correctly in the background without interfere with the other object on the home screen?
Thank you for any answer

You will see this once they release the SDK for Widgets
Hi there!
I have a smaller problem - let's call it a malaise - with my i9000. It's about the integrated calendar and its default color - cyan. I have a mostly transparent calendar widget on my homescreen, and every appointment I have in my calendar has this blindingly colorful cyan bar beside it. That I'd like to change by changing the color for appointments in the stock calendar. However, I haven't found a way to do that.
I am aware of the Google calendar and how I can change its color online. However, if I don't synchronize with the phone's internal calendar (which I don't do and don't want to), there seemingly is no way to change the color of the stock calendar online, because the online settings only affect the online calendars.
So, I turn to you experts of details and modifications: is there a way to change that nasty cyan into something more moderate?
EDIT:
Okay, so apparently there is no actual solution to this. I suppose one could make a custom ROM for this, but since noone seems to care about the problem, noone does.
Anyway, I have found two workarounds in the meantime, and I wanted to post them here so that anyone who has the same problem and finds this thread has a chance to solve the colourful dilemma.
1.
Instead of using the inbuilt stock calendar, you can use Google Calendar (GC). If you have an Android phone, you have a Google account and therefore can use GC right away. The reason: somehwere deep within GC's options you can choose what color to use for the entries in this online calendar. So what you do is choose the color you like, put your events in the Google Calendar instead of the phone's own and configure Android to synchronize with it now and then. You can still create events on the phone, you just need to choose in which calendar (internal or external) you'd like to create them.
2.
Use the Android Agenda Widget as a calendar widget for your phone. Among its endless list of options is a little checkbox where you can choose to have your events displayed, but without the color of the calendar they come from.
I wanted to offer you links to both these options, but since I don't have enough posts yet the system doesn't let me. But you know how to use Google, so I'm sure you'll find these things.
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!
I hate Touchwiz apps big time. S Planer is wack as f***, laggy and awfull to utilize. Is there a possibility to get rid of touchwiz apps and replace them by stock gingerbread apps (google calender, text messaging, etc.)?

yes you are absolutely right. Samsung calendar has an issue. It doesnt sync every entry on my google calendar.
+1 on getting back the original calendar
AFAIK, there is no standard AOSP calendar unless you want to tinker with hacked files and such.
I use Pocket Informant and it works very well. Cheap on the Amazon market and sometimes free.
did samsung rip the calendar totaly from the rom or is it makeable to make a shortcut to it?
i want to have something like the htc sense one.
the samsungs is awfull.
one of the reasons i bought a phone with such a big screen was, that i could see the whole week calendar with no scrolling.
first i tried Jorte as a calendar app..
now i found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.alxb.calendardroid
I am also considering on the pure grid calendar, but could not get the 5x5 widget on without distortion.

guys
i like google calendar and want to keep it (even have the widget on the home screen). However, I'm getting duplicate events for each one. When I go to my calendar settings (the app that came by default on nexus 6) and Calendars to display and de-select something, it gets removed from my widget as well. How do I get rid of these duplicates?
Thanks
They're not duplicates. They're the same event s in multiple apps. Stop one of the apps notifying
