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.

I have struggled to find a stand alone calendar for android. Jorte would be perfect except for one thing: I need repeat appointments (ex. every second Tuesday) which Jorte does not do. I've tried most others including Smooth Calendar, Ancal, Agenda Widget etc., and none of them seem to have this functionality without syncing with Google calendar or some other online calendar.
Anybody have any recommendations? Am I overlooking some alternative way of keeping a calendar without syncing? This is the one thing that is preventing me from totally going to android and ditching my WM OS.
I'm running Sagarom's super froyo ultralite.
Try emailing the jorte dev to ask for the functionality

I did that about 2 weeks ago and didn't receive a reply, but hopefully they got it and will implement it soon.
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!
Hi there,
I read through a couple of threads and found that some people have the same issues with the stock calendar app as me. I mean the one that comes from Samsung and can be found in stock rom and in overcome. I bought the tab for my business.
Unfortunately, the samsung calendar app is pure garbage to say it friendly. Not all calendars show up, they all have the same color and if you add an appointment in your tab, edit it in google calendar on your PC you mysteriously end up with 2 appointments on your tab.
Yesterday, I switched to CM7 to check out how the calendar works in that mod. If CM7 by technomancer wouldn't be still in beta I'd stay on it for obvious reasons. The calendar works perfect and like a charm. All gmail calendars show up, even the ones from my wife. They all have the colors I selected in gmail calendars on my pc. The syncing works perfect.
I was wondering if someone could port that app into the Overcome Rom, because I have no clue how to do that?
Google should do quality assurance to make sure their functions work right.
Any help would be greatly appreciated because I use pure calendar widget and it gets the entries from the calendar app. Calengoo, is okay but the widgets suck.
I am willing to donate some money for a working port
Well I tried a little bit around and got some things working. I took a calendar and googlecalendarsyncadapter.apk from a 2.3.3 aosp rom and copied it into system/app fixed permissions and did a reboot.
Guess what the calendar is working. You'll get all different colors and the sync works totally right. Unfortunately there's only one problem. The calendar will crash when you select what calendars to sync...you have enough time to select them but then it crashes. I think this has something to do with the emailprovider.apk from samsung. I changed it to an aosp version but then the calendar crashes all the time.
There have to be done some changes on the emailprovider.apk to get it all going but I have no clue what it could be. It seems there is a limitation on how many calendars can be synced.
Hello All,
I've been getting double calendar notifications for events since day one. I ignored it for awhile. Then it bothered me enough to do something about it. So i looked and noticed there were two Calendar apps so I disabled one and am still getting double calendar notifications.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
Thank you
Bump, please anyone?
Possibly uninstall one? You could also try turning notifications off for one.

I immediately disabled the stock calendar app and installed Google Calendar from the play store, there are no conflicts and it doesn't affect anything.

any idea why 1. the X has the android calendar (and not google) and 2. why the google calendar doesn't automatically replace the android calendar?
they're functionally identical, just one has Google's signature.

It might be an AOSP versus Google ROM kinda thing. Doesn't make sense, seeing that the Google Keyboard is built in.

If you go to the Play Store, there is an updated Google Calendar app. It is Version 5.01579230.
When I install it , it gets installed in addition to the Google Calendar app that comes on the phone, even though it seems like it is intended to be a replacement. Does anyone know why the new app doesn't replace the old one? When I get notifications, I get them from both apps. I can easily uninstall the newer one. But, I prefer it. I'd rather just have the new one. But, the new one can't be just uninstalled. I'm afraid to go disabling things on the old version because I do not want to interfere with the new one functioning.
Any ideas? Thanks!!
The Note 4 does not come with the Google Calendar app installed, it comes with the Samsung Calendar app. Unfortunately the Samsung Calendar cannot be fully disabled. You can remove all the calendars to display though if you want to use the Google calendar app.
Haa. I had no idea that was Samsung's Calendar. They seem so similar. Thanks.
