[Q] Droid Ace + Agenda - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone
I've installed on my wife's Galaxy Ace the Rom DroidAce, but I can't find a widget to display Google Agenda on a full desktop.
I don't understand if it's because of the ROM CM7, or if it's a bug on the phone, or something else, but the widget agenda display only the next event on a 2:1 widget, even if I resize it, there is still only the next event only, not the others next. (sorry for my english)
For me on the HTC Desire HD with Sense, I can display on a 4:4 widget my google agenda with a scroll and see all of my events.
Do you know what I have to do to make the same on the Ace ?
Thanks a lot !

up
ANd another question on DroidAce, the Holo launcher ask for an update, but it failed, caused by a non-signed package something, if I remember correctly, do you have any clue of what I need to do to correct that, except re-install ?
Thanks

up

I've found one working ...

[Q] How to install aosp apps on doc rom

I have searched everywhere but can't find anything,
I would love to use the stock calendar app on doc's rom or any other rom for that matter. But i'm not able to find anything that works.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
I've read that if you use the aosp mail app, the camera fc's.
But nothing about the calendar app.
I would love to know a bit more, I can't imagine it's that difficult.
There is a thread for stock eclair apps and I remember using them once, they seemed to work I recall.
If anyone knows a way I would love to know, I'm getting pretty frustrated with samsungs aproach to the calendar

Any idea how to install aosp calendar?
It's in the market.
You'll have to uninstall the Samsung one first, then reboot.

No. The AOSP calendar is NOT in the Market.
I have the same question: how to get a working AOSP calendar in Froyo???
But in this strange sgs community, everybody seems to love so much the TouchWizz Calendar!
Bllblb. It's ugly, not practical, and you cannot read the events titles directly from the week view.
I succeeded installing the Calendar from a CM6.1 Nexus1 Rom. But not the Calendar sync. So it works, but you cannot choose wich calendar to hide.
So. I'm not responsible for nothing, but you can try what I have done.
Download the rom here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/187-update-cm-611-n1-signedzip/
Extract from system/app/calendar.apk
-> Or instead of 1. et 2. you can just download from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18608283/Calendar.apk
On your sgs, use Root Explorer (or ADB if you know how). Delete (make backup first) TWcalendar.apk in system/app/ in your device.
Push the calendar.apk from the rom into system/app/ in your device.
Install it.
Reboot.
You're done. As I have said, the app works, but it Force Closes whenever you try to get in menu/more/calendars.
If somebody have an idea to get he whole thing working... It'd be great!

I don't think this is true either, where did you get this info from may I ask?
Thanks Judim but I have also tried that, had the same problem.
I'm using "Touch Calendar Free" at the moment, it's not as good as google's but still beats the living sh** out of samsungs...
Ah well if this thread bumps we'll just have to wait for CM7 to arrive or buy a Nexus S.
The first way is a bit cheaper though
Try also Business Calendar Beta from the Market. It could be a replacement waiting for a CM7.
I see you're also coming from the Hero... Small device but great CM roms
Cheers!
Here is an AOSP calendar app that I'm using on my Vibrant. It does have the fc issue when selecting more calendars, but does not have the dark bar at the top blocking week one of the month. It does have a skewed transparency up there, but its a mere annoyance and won't affect anything. Push to system/app. Oh the icon is ginger-green to match my rom, but thats all that I changed with the apk.

missing widgets

Hi guys,
im currently running a stock 2.3.4 rom on my galaxy mini, loving this phone at the moment, its rooted and i have had no issues with it so far... however i appear to be missing a few widgets. there is no music widget in the list and the vlingo widgets are also missing, im not sure if there are any others missing but those are the most noticable (compared to my sons xperia mini pro which IS showing those widgets, and yes the apps are installed!!!). any ideas on this one
many thanks in advance
Jim
u are right so i would suggest u that install similar kinds of widgets(don't forget to keep them in phone memory) from market that u need
or other option try another rom for your mini
keep in mind that widget appears only for apps trhat are in interbal memory...
...no SD allowed.
thanks, the widgets for vlingo appeared after i 'moved to phone' in manage applications, however the default music player still appears widgetless even though is a default install and shows on the phone. ive taken to using winamp instead as a result. many thanks for your replies.

[Q] Samsung Mini Diary App

Ive installed Slim ICS on my wifes galaxy s.
She misses the mini diary app that was present on the stock rom. I have done many searches and found posts on this forum and others.
I have obtained a few MiniDiary.apk files form the internet and copied them to system/app using root explorer, and changed the permissions etc, but I have not managed to get this app to work.
Is there any way to achieve this? Have I been using the wrong apk files?
The stock rom she had was XXJVO. She would also be happy with the MiniDiary app from my S2 if it would be possible to get that to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
147 views and no repies?
Did I post in the wrong section?
Thanks.
It's impossible. I really liked that app too, but there's no way to get it working on a non-touchwiz rom. Even flashing one of those touchwiz framework packages didn't work. So you have two choice. Either go back to a Touchwiz rom (so non-AOSP), or find another app replacement (IMHO there's no good replacement on the market).
I like the app also. When I rooted my phone its gone. But what I am suggesting is you can get a Diary App vias Play Store. I bet they have alot there..

Trust me. I have Looked, and none of them is as nice
Knowledge is Power. Guard it well.
Thanks for your clear and concise answers. I had also tried one of those touchwiz frameworks too.
I too have trawled the play store for something similar but like you found nothing as good as the mini diary app. I'm sure I can find something that will make do.
wrong time
Hi I downloaded mini diary from the Samsung store and for today it shows a time - the 2 other entries don't. The issue is only that on the entry that does show the time it is 2 hours behind. The phone shows the correct time though.
I'm using Samsung galaxy s3 on latest official .nz firmware, I'm saying new Zealand because Im in .nz and live in .nz etc.
How can I fix this, the only setting I could see was location and weather .
have u tried this way:

im looking for the app too, but im totally noob maybe u can do it!

Delay in opening of Phone and Contacts

I'm running stock ics 4.0.3 rooted with GL Notecore Kernel v 3.15.
i'm getting a lag in opening the dialer and contacts. Is there any way this can be corrected ? Please help.
Have u tried to clear contacts data or cache from settings.. applications...contacts. ?
U may also try another dialer other than stock dialer and contacts as Go Contacts, this may solve all of ur problems..

Haven't been able to find a permanent solution yet

same here...I've just learned to live with it.
There must be some way to speed up the process. can't we odex the two applications alone for better performance ?
Edit : Can someone who can work with the file-system odex phone and contacts .apk based on this and repost the files.
Actually on my friends sgs2 its opens very quickly

Exactly, but with the note running better specs, it must open faster. I don't know what's wrong in here. Hope this thread finds a solution.
Can someone turn the spot light in here. please.
Help wanted. Some dev please help.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'm no dev but it's common for the contacts or phone application to open with a 1 or 2 seconds delay if they are started for the first time. Every succeding start is considerably faster. Do you use a task killer? Next time you want to open the contacts or phone application take a look at a task manager whether the corresponding apps are already running in the background or at least cached. If they are they should open almost immediately. If they are not what you described is absolutely normal.

Hi guys,
I was experiencing the same problem so I tried some other apps and I found one that in my opinion is the best - exDialer (it's free)
It opens very fast, has all functionallity of the stock dialer, and has also skinning capabilities, which I set to ICS (blue fonts on black background).
Give it a try - I hope it helps you!
I tried it. But then having two applications to perform the same task becomes useless ri8. Just one doubt, why a powerful device with 1.4Ghz process. A full gig if Ram take so long to process a simple app and that too a system app.?

I don't know the reason of the lag - but it is there and is really annoying. I had exactly the same thought as you - but I think this is related to TouchWiz UI.
Regarding having two apps for the same task is no problem to me - I just defined the exDialer as default and the stock dialer never comes up again.
And for me is common to have more than one app for the same task - I have 3 browsers, 3 e-book readers, 2 RSS organizers, 2 file browsers, and so on.
What I do is to try many different apps and eventually I find the ones that best suit my needs and then uninstall the others.

Does the stock s3 contact app open faster? If yes we can use that.

I had the same problem, while on Criskelo rom. I've gone to 4.0.4 , rooted and speedmod 3-6 kernel , and now I dont have this issue anymore. However, I belive that if you close your dialer, or contacts by using the back key, instead of Home key, you will always have this "lag". You should close your contacts and phone app , by pressing the home key.

[APP] Request: Agenda

Hello. I know I'm pretty new here, but i'm a happy owner of a nexus S since december 2011, and I'm loving it.
Here's what i'm looking for (and not finding anywhere on the market): a nice agenda app which would allow me to set the default duration of a meeting (or with a defaut time stuck a 30mn, I'll take it too).
In addition to this unique feature, it would be nice if it was a bit like google.com/calendar: "dimensionable" appointement with a stretch, and/or drag'n drop of the "misplaced" mettings.
Also, an option which would allow to hide "night time" (midnight to 7am for exemple) would be much appreciated.
if someone know such features, or could tweak the google agenda, it would help me greatly.
PS: i'm currently on "stock" jelly belly 0.1.5.1 but I could switch to paranoidandroid (or another ROM) if it was needed.
Many thanks to all thoses who will help me
edit: Please excuse me if such a thread has already been made, but i couldn't find it.
aCalendar had drag and drop to move appointments. If I remember. I use only stock calendar since using Paranoid because of tablet settings of stock calendar looks great.
My favorite agenda is "Pure Calendar Widget - agenda". Try it.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
My bad, aCalendar does not have drag and drop function but business calendar does.
Businesses calendar also have nice agenda widget but it only work with this calendar.
