Have updated the attached APK with a new installation/setup wizard and other niceties. Will put it on the market tomorrow sometime
This beta is now on the market if anyone is interested: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.everybodyallthetime.android.quickagenda.trial
Still looking for feedback on this if anyone else time to test it
Just updated the market version to 0.9.2 which allows multi row widgets.
Downloading now.
Thunderbolt ¡das BAMF!
Cool, let me know what you think

0.9.3-Beta now on market, various fixes to update logic and import/export ics files.
Multi row widgets now allow you to choose the top row and show upcoming for the others (settings->widget->event mode->chosen top, others upcoming).
Choose a row by opening the Quick Agenda, tap and hold then press "choose event"
I was looking for something to replace Smooth Calendar widget and after I tested few other, I tested Quick Agenda.
It was a litle pain to understand how to configure it, but after I managed to set it, I have to say that it is the agenda widget I was looking for!
It is working very good in my system (look at my sig ).
Feedback left on Android Market (John - Apl 17)...
Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you like it!
Any suggestions on what I can do to make the setup easier to understand? (e.g. what did you have trouble with?)
Hard to make suggestions as I'm starting to get used to the settings...
Meanwhile, I think I found a little bug: I had four appointments for tomorrow and using the left side panel (Quick Agenda) I changed the day to April 20.
The display was refreshed ok after a minute.
After that, using again the Quick Agenda menu, I changed the dates again to April 23, but the displaying appointments were not refreshed (they were on April 20).
So, Quick Agenda had the 4 appointments showing on April 23 but the main widget menu was showing them on April 20 (when I clicked on each one to edit, the date was on April 20).
After I opened the settings menu for widget and for Quick Agenda and closed it, the display was corrected to April 23.
Something else I want to ask for, if it is possible to select a span for the days ahead which is going to be displayed in widget (e.g. only the following 3 days, etc.)
Thanks in advance
So you would like the widget to refresh when one of the events on it changes? Should be possible!
Span of days is pretty easy as well.

Maybe would be a good idea to have a service running in the background to make possible to change immediately the widget contents when an event changes or in an addition/deletion of an event (in Smooth Calendar there was the selection of auto update (for the widget) which started the background service)

Yep, an ugly content observer doing something its not supposed to the background is the way I will be doing it
Should get to it later this afternoon or tomorrow, I will try to make it steal as few resources as possible!

Done, this new setting is available in market (along with the "event look ahead"/span of days feature and other enhancements). It is sort of hidden in customize widget->update settings->Refresh on change (at the bottom).
Let me know how it goes!

I'm going to test it and tell you how it goes
Early first impressions
After installing new beta, I have to remove old widget and set all over a new one
The worse: I was almost done with my settings and I was in Quick Agenda's setting page. I pressed the bottom selection ('Widget setting') and I had Force Close
Every time I press the above selection it gives Force Close (the message it gives is:
"The application QuickAgenda (process com.everybodyallthetime.android.quickagendatrial) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Oh no! Sorry about your settings, I will be adding a restore feature soon to load settings from other widgets (I should probably add tis function first next time).
I think I have fixed the widget settings button (uploaded a new version to the market just before). Does it fix fit?
EDIT: PM'ed you my email address, maybe we can recover the prefs
Ok I got your pm.
I'm going to send you an email in a few minutes...
This app is getting close to release time, check it out while it is free!
Recent changes:
Save/Load widget settings
rejigged the settings some more
changed the default view to be upcoming and chosen
Layout upgrades
I realized yesterday, that I think this app has an identity crisis.
Its not quite a popup agenda app
Its not quite an agenda widget app
Its not quite a count down widget app
Its not quite an ical handler app
It has all these functions though they are all muddle together.
The 2nd and 3rd are easy, remove the "single row" option from the current widget and make another widget called "countdown". But this could also be a separate application.
The first one is hard. I could release Quick Agenda as just the agenda popup and allow other applications (such as a new countdown widget app or new agenda widget app) to interface with it or I could leave it built in to this weird Frankenstein app I have already created.
The last one should be in all my apps
Any opinions?

[SPBMS3.5] Show upcoming all day events
I recently switched from TF3d to spbms. One of the things I am missing is how to display upcoming all day events in the calendar widget. Right now it only shows all-day events for the current date, but not for tomorrow. As I have quite some all-day events I am wondering how I can make them show in the calendar widget. (setting show all day events to yes doesn't do the trick)
Hi! For this, I use S2U2 that his main function is lock the device and unlock like a iphone and it can show the events that you have in your calendar. Try it! It's very useful!!
Moved as not theme release.
Recommanded apps/Must have applications
I made this thread, so that you could recommanded aps that works with your x10. Etc apps that you frequently use and so on. I hAven't gotten mine yet, but I will probably get the same main apps as I had on the magic. 1. Gulesider( a Norwegian app, a really nice app. A easy way to find phone numbers etc. It does also show the name of the person that is calling you) 2.advanced task manager( allows you to shut down some of the apps running on your device) 3. AndFtp ( a FTP app) 4. Glance( file manager) 5. Pure calendar(a good looking calendar widget for your android phone, there is a theme for it that is transparent. Love this widget tbh) 6. Spotify 7. Yr.no (a weather widget) 8. NRK radio 9. OI File Manager/OI Notepad 10. TV Guide 11. Science facts feel free to share some of the android Apps that you like.
Im using same apps as on the legend and hero.. Good habits are hard to change: gulesider and yr ofcourse. Estrong Taskmanager (my choise of taskmanager) Estrong File Explorer Dolphin Browser (really great browser for android) Zedge Ringetones & wallpapers (Great selection, and ofcourse, since they're norwegian) Weather Widgets (yr.no) - Copies the HTC flip clock (Which I love !) Battery Graph - nothing like analyzing that battery drain!
SuperDial for faster contacts lookup.
i am using: takephone (smartdial app) gblocker (call filter app)

Sporify ??? Is There sporify app for androit with ofline mode ???
noblackthunder said: Is There sporify app for androit with ofline mode ??? Click to expand... Click to collapse first of all, it is called Spotify and yes it does exist for the android platform And I would say that it works better than the one for the iPhone. I can't really say anything about the symbian version, since I have never had a symbian phone. And probably will never have, since I do not like that OS....
So, here's my list: Advanced Task Killer Battery Time Lite Spotify - Rocks Reader widget - Excellent for my google reader-feeds Scoreboard - Football scores Calwidget - Nice widget for my calendar Handcent SMS - Brilliant SMS app aTAKEphone - Nice phone/dialer-ap YR.no widget - Weather widget mVideoPlayer - Handy video player ASTRO - Excellent file browser FlashLightApp - widget using camera light Apps Organizer - Quite useful with widgets for labels Barcode Scanner - Scann app-barcodes FotMob - Excellent football-app FxCamera - Fun camera app GPS Logger - Logs your GPS-position to file - can be used to geotag your SLR-shots for example Gule Sider - norwegian national phone book Locale - Auto-change settings based on location PdaNet - Tether StopWatch - you got it TV Guide - Norwegian tv guide Zedge - wallpapers and ring tones
bloo - facebook application that actually gives you notifications on useful things like comments on posts. The official android facebook app cannot do this.
I've got a new one to add: NewsRoom A wonderful take on the typical RSS reader, this app allows access to RSS feeds as preview pages, which you can flip through and select for full articles. Much more complete and interactive than a typical text-list layout of most RSS readers.
Weather Widget ( now called Weather & Toggle)- HTC Clock/weather widget and system toggle widgets. Is also skinable. Weather Widget Weather addon- Adds a weather forcast when you tap on the weathr icon on the clock. Handcent- Best SMS app Astro- Awesome File explorer AND taskkiller ( many don't know that it has a great task killer included) FlashLightApp- A one button on/off widget to turn our camra light on or off. GPRS Monitor- Monitors data usage Pure Grid Calander- Mimics the HTC calander widget Sportstap- Best sports updates, scores, news, even notifications. OperaMini5- Web Browser Aldiko- Ebook reader WiFinder- WiFi finder HelixLauncher- A home replacment option that offers customixable Home options. have up to 7 screens, adds 4 "buttons" to the app drawer slider on the home screen, double tap home screen to see min versions of all other screens. This is the best Home option out there. HTC_IME-hi keryboard- My favorite Keyboard by far. Swype- Yes, I'm jumping on the Swype bandwagon and trying it out. Takes a bit to get used to but is a very smart keyboard for predctions. Rarley gets my input wrong and is faser then tapping. I'm still on the fence about using it full time as my text input.
I'm now adding swype too.... its possibly the cleverest and definitely most innovative app ive seen on a phone in some time.
I started off with SlideIT and have been using Swype for a few days now.. It's definitely a much nicer looking UI... but I reckon that SlideIT is actually more acurate, quicker and easier to manage??....
SyncMyPix - a pretty good app to add the picture from your facebookcontacts to your phone contacts!
I found that weather and toggle seemed to be sucking juice out of my battery... what's your battery life like?

Click to collapse You most likely have the app checking for weather updates too often, set it to something like 6 hours (how quick does weather really change).

[WIDGET][3.0+] Simple Calendar Widget (scrollable)
Since I got some experience from my Simple RSS Widget app, I made a similiar app for calendar events: Simple Calendar Widget. The widgets font size, color & background color is adjustable and the widget is resize- & scrollable. The app is free & without ads or scary permissions. As it makes use of the new widget features from Honeycomb & ICS, you need at least Android 3.0 to use this widget! If anyone is interested in making a nice app icon for the market, please contact me! Download: Android Market XDA:DevDB Information Simple Calendar Widget, App for the Apps & Games Contributors j4velin Version Information Status: Stable Created 2014-11-06 Last Updated 2014-11-06
There is already a great app called Simple Calendar Widget on the market - by Alexander G. Did you search app names before creating yours?
mh well, i might change that name then. it's just very similiar to my "simple rss widget" and therefore i named it like that. also it is just a calendar widget and it is very, very simple ^^
This is a nice widget to show some upcoming events. Can you add the ability to customize the date format shown when using the option "Show current date"? I like to use Today and Tomorrow for the events themselves and it's nice to have the current date on my screen, and even better if I can customize it! Thanks!
4thought said: Can you add the ability to customize the date format shown when using the option "Show current date"? Click to expand... Click to collapse when checking that checkbox, you should get a popup asking for the date format
Yes I see now. Don't know how I missed it. Thanks!
Hello j4velin, the question is very similar as it was in 2013 In Appereance at every date section I see date format, and the default is custom. But, how can I customize? I'd like "mmm.dd., dddd" format
Thats really well made and accurate widget. Simple. Customizable. Top and bottom shading ensure widget very organic among other stuff on desktop.
[WIDGET] Message Widget
Hi all. I have been looking for a very simple and not too large SMS Widget that I could place on WidgetLocker. Since I could not find any that would fit my needs (especially only being 4x1 max), I created one on my own. I would like you to install this widget if you were looking for the same thing and kindly ask you to give me some feedback, what you would expect, or what could be improved. Currently, the widget displays all SMS that it finds. This is planned to be only unread SMS. But I thought for testing purpose it's easier like this. The idea is to fully hide the widget once no unread sms are here (just looks better in WidgetLocker). Features (v0.1.0): automatic monitoring of SMS hide the widget, if there are no sms. Browse all sms Automatically scroll Names. Will display the currently displayed sms throughout all widgets (if you browse, all the widgets show the same sms). Planned Features / Improvements Easier button pushing Auto scroll of text Basic configuration (colors, disabling of features) Themes for widget. Mark SMS as read from widget Delete SMS from widget. Project page: http://code.google.com/p/messagewidget/ Many thanks in advance! PS: Since this is my first android app, I was not even sure, if I signed it correctly and so on, so please be a bit patient!
App showing agenda view that makes it easy to see what date you're looking at?
The built in calendar app lets you scroll through your events, but it's very easy to lose what day your on since the day/date info isn't a header, and scrolls out of sight along w/the events as you move through them, instead of acting like a header and staying fixed at the top of the screen, and changing each time you scroll up or down to another days events. Has anyone seen a calendar app that provides that kind of calendar view available in an app? This seems like an obviously missing capability. I can't find anything...anyone want to make one?
