ROOT REQUIRED: Phone must be rooted to use this application!
Calendar Color Changer for Android is an application that allows you to change the default account / calendar colors on your Android device. This includes any type of account using the standard calendaring system, such as Google Calendar and Exchange.
Features include:
Automatic detection of root
Automatic detection of calendar accounts
Simple color wheel for selection of calendar colors
Changelog
v0.04
Fixed a large scale permissions issue causing the application to not find accounts
Now works in most new ROMs, including custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod7
v0.03
Fixed bug with phones that would not save changes
v0.02
Internal changes
v0.01
Initial release
Screenshots and market link can be found at: http://nowsci.com/calendarcolorchanger/
Now that the formalities are out of the way, I'll give a little more detail. I got tired of hunting through all the instructions burried in posts on Google's help forums about selecting only the bottom three colors on the web version of Google Calendar, or deleting your account over and over to get the right color. Or god forbid you try to pick a compatible color in Outlook.
So, I created this app which opens the calendar database file and stuffs the selected color in manually. So, simply select an account, select a color, reboot, and you're up and running.
Thanks,
B.
Great concept, but having issues... Can't find any accounts, although I have several loaded. I am on a custom rom though.
Any solutions?

Can you use ADB to look for the calendar.db file on your phone? It may be that your ROM uses a custom calendar database. The app searches for that file, and if it can't find it, it won't locate any accounts.

Ahhh, thats the problem. The standard structure is the Environment Data Dir/data, not /dbdata. I will release an update shortly that will hopefully solve the problem.
Thanks,

OK everyone, major bug-fixes are in. I've even managed to get it working in customized ROMs like CyanogenMod7 now.
Thanks,
B.
FYI -- SGS4G (T959V), stock:
busybox find / -name 'calendar.db'
/data/data/com.android.providers.calendar/databases/calendar.db
Wouldn't synchronisation with Google undo the color changes done by this app?
Hi,
there is another app for changing the calendar colors.
It doesn't need root or a reboot, and it can optionally change the colors back to yours automatically when they are overridden by Google synchronisation.
There are 2 versions, a simple free one for 1 account, and a paid one for several accounts and automatic restore. Search for "slintes" in the market:
h**ps://market.android.com/search?q=slintes
Kind regards,
Marc
Since I have a lot of passwords I needed a password manager which will fit my needs. I did not want a manager that keeps my passwords safe on their servers but I want to export my db so I can have a backup! That's why I created PassLock password manager and I release it to the market for everyone.
PassLock keeps your passwords safe using AES-256bit and is free.
- You can group your passwords
- You can change/edit your records and also transfer them to an other group
- You can change your master pass
- You can import/export your database
Anyone that will give it a shot please leave feedback.
Since v1.0 I have changed some things that you can find below.
Changes in v1.5.1
Disabled auto-complete/auto-suggest words in passwords fields.(This might not work for all devices and all android versions.Trying to improve)
Changes in v1.5
-Show/Hide option when you type your master pass
-Lock database only and not exit
-Highly configurable password generator added
Devices Support
Unfortunately google does not release yet any documentation about 2.3.5 and also I can not create an AVD with this version for testing the app.
I have test it on 2.3.3(API 10) which is also has the same API with 2.3.4(API 10). If google changed the API level in 2.3.5 it might not work and I will fix it when released.
As far for the SGS2 I am not sure why is not working for some of you...Maybe it's the rom you are using?!As I can see 15 SGS2 has the app working fine!
For any other devices I have to search more so please post your device with the rom you are using and if it is working or not.
Thanks!
Note: The 3 permissions that required are just for the import/export of the database and for the ads!
Download from here
thanks, id much rather have a local manager then a cloud manager.
Showing as incompatible with my Thunderbolt. Running A05PTh30RY 1.3X which is Android 2.3.5
So why does the app need internet access?
If it's supposed to be a local pw manager i don't see the need for any network access at all, specially not internet.
Ads supported maybe
Wraios file Maybe you could add froyo support too? Very nice app.
None of my device supported, neither NI Adam nor Galaxy sII
Works great on Galaxy S XXJVP 2.3.4, Speedmod T5.
seems to work, but can I access it while on the browser to fill fields or is it strictly a look up your info in this program then go to the browser and enter it manually? (or copy paste)
Would be nice if there was an option to autofill
I just installed on my Atrix. Seems to be working okay. I will do some more testing with it later. Seems to work as advertised--good and simple. Thanks for the dev work.
Will not install to my Tmo Hd2 running Android
The app doesnt work on many phones I think you need to fix it to gain wide popularity.
But anyways Thanks
And after going to my blog, I think you will Thank me also.
See here http://www.techofweb.com/google/android-passwords-manager.html
But again I dint like its non-working on many Android devices.
Hope you will fix it soon.
@jwgizmo maybe you do not have a 2.3+ version?!
Thanks vostdev
Hi, If you have rooted and installed a cooked-rom you can now start really editing your system to your needs, below is what I would do with the ChaCha/Status enjoy:

Actually you're wrong. I have installed Opera Mobile the first moment I got the phone (a month ago).

You can also find it in the Market App. Just use the damn search button in the android market app.
This app is compatible with your Orange HTC HTC ChaCha A810e.

Hi, You said that it is available from the Android Market APP. I can confirm three things that might differentiate between the situations when you downloaded the app and I did:
For Starters I Have: A Three Mobile ROM Not An Orange One.
Secondly: I have the latest ANDROID MARKET UPDATE - YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE.
(I KNOW YOU CAN DOWNLOAD OPERA FROM THE ONLINE MARKET)
Thirdly: You downloaded it a month ago and I attempted a few days ago via mobile (using browser) and it said incompatible with device. So I searched the market via mobile and it was not listed (Market APP does not list incompatible APPS).
THE ABOVE REASONS ARE WHY I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE WORKED FOR YOU AND NOT ME.

Hi, Please do not attempt to remove the stock messaging app just use the Handcent one as default - it should then work. If MMS is still not working for your handset please wait approximately TWO WEEKS and I will be releasing my new ROM that has at least 80MB of extra free space and it replaces the FACEBOOK BUTTON TO A TWITTER BUTTON.
ALSO I AM ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE HTC SENSE COMPLETELY BUT SO FAR NO LUCK - BUT THE WHOLE ROM WORKS SMOOTHLY AND IS AMAZINGLY FAST.
Stay tuned and I'll do something about handcent from within the custom-ROM and I'll let you know.
I put stock messgae back, always freeze using titanium first. I read latest handcent didn't need stock app that was all.

hi,
i flashed your rom.
- less then 60megs free mem on internal storage
- facebookbutton is not working as a twitterbutton
never the less nice rom
Thank you for testing the TweetDroid ROM and for that useful information I will be updating the ROM to work the button with something and increase the memory.
However, I'd like to ask you some questions:
- Is The ROM Stable?
- Does Google Plus Work?
- Does a Twitter App Appear?
- Does Opera Mobile 11 Work As The Default Browser?
- Is The New Market Installed or The Old One From SuperDroid?
Thanks.
i've only tested twitter and this version looks strange! it seems not the be the org. version which can be installed via market?! am i wrong?
rom is stable so far.
opera, google+ not tested yet, sorry
i tried myself to assign an app to the facebookbutton. as a matter of fact, qwerty was broken. nonfunctional anymore

1. I don't have an Orange ROM. And roms are not important.
2. We both have the same market update
3. Opera is there man, checked with a different ChaCha. I checked it again 5 minutes ago. Downloaded it.
Yes - you're right the twitter app is not by twitter - it's from a third-party company that uploaded it to mediafire - i will change the copy to the official soon.
I will also change the keyboard settings somehow and upload a new ROM called CAMDROID 1.0 before 7:00PM GMT.
If you have time - have a look at Opera Mobile.
Thanks for your help.

So anyone who has a White Pandigital Novel (WPDN), Randomblame has created a ROM with ICS (Android 4.0) from the AOSP source and pulled for various drivers (S3M6410, eGL, RT2870, etc)
I take zero credit for this - it's all randomblame
However, he and a few of us over at slatedroid just can't get wifi to work. I'm throwing the question out to other developers who might have run into this or could suggest something/anything to fix it.
WORKS:
graphics (slow, no hw acceleration)
touchscreen
NOT WORKING:
wifi - almost, so close, yet so far
audio
http://www.mediafire.com/?4cokc8bqc80th59
So the Wifi drivers are loaded and we can connect to various SSID's (WPA, open WPA-2 etc).
Using adb, I can ssh out using root to the internet (dreamhost.com) and log in successfully
Using adb, I can ping www.google.com as root
Switching to the user system when I ping it says "You must have access to the internet to use ping."
Browser doesn't work (connection to server was unsuccessful)
Non-android browser doesn't work (same error as above)
Telnet doesn't work using root or system or anything. For that it gives "telnet: socket: permission denied).
Pandigital hasn't released source code, so randomblame has hacked the .29 (from Android 2.0) kernel to make it work in ICS.
We've added "group system wifi inet" to the init.rc under wpa_supplicant.
I've tried adding users in the same wpa_supplicant service block.
Anyone have any ideas?
Also, the Opera browser (not mini) works and allows us to surf the web - with varying degrees of success. Mostly it works - BBC works great, others not so much.
Anyone know why the normal browsers (Dolphin Mini, stock browser etc) don't work, and Opera browser does? What's different about it?
Randomblame is the man, I'm not a Dev, but have a Pandigital Novel and would like some ICS!

WARNING: Some features require a rooted device.
SEE THE FAQ IN POST 2 (BELOW) IF YOU HAVE ISSUES
DESCRIPTION:
Download web files much faster by using wifi and mobile data at the same time!
Share or open a link from any program, like the web browser, and download it at speeds up to two times faster than usual.
This is the only tool that can download using wifi and mobile data connection simultaneously*!
*In 2014, two years later, Samsung released the Galaxy S5 phone which incorporates a similar feature called "Download Booster".
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Using both networks together requires root access.
- Since this program uses mobile data connection, by using it you may incur in additional charges from your network operator.
- To unleash its full potential, this program needs good (and balanced) wifi and mobile reception/bandwidth.
- Using both connections is not supported on all devices / rom combinations.
- Some web servers may provide insufficient functionalities on the requested files.
- Currently only http and https protocols are supported (no ftp or torrent yet)
- The Lite version has a filesize limit of 50 megabytes.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR XDA DEVELOPERS:
This program is free for xda users if downloaded from this thread, but is a paid application on play store. If you want to support the development, buy it from the market and get automatic updates.
USAGE:
Just click on a link or open a remote file: if the file type is recognised by Super Download, it will start getting it.
If this method doesn't work, try click-and-hold on the link, select "share with" and choose Super Download.
Finally, you can copy and paste a url in the "add url" dialog.
There is a thread on Super Download and a youtube video here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...xy-s5s-download-booster-t2829885/post54435368
PLANNED FEATURES:
- Multiple files together / download queue
- Other ways of speeding up downloads
MARKET LINKS:
- Full version: Super Download Full
- Lite version: Super Download Lite
***** FAQ *****
1 - Q: It doesn't work!
A: Please provide more information and possibly a logcat (main buffer, debug level).
2 - Q: The application doesn't trigger! Is my browser supported?
A: Did you try both methods (read USAGE on post 1)? Some browser do not support the first method (mostrly third party browsers), some do not support the second (only ICS stock browser doesn't, AFAIK). If both methods do not work for you, please post your browser and rom names and versions in this thread, thanks!
3 - Q: It fails and now I can't download the file without unistalling your app! Now what?
A: From SuperDownload, click on the download and select "send to default downloader": the android download app will start to download your file (not available on froyo). Or, some browsers support long-tap on a link and then "download". You can also install an additional download with different features, so android will ask you which one to use at download time.
4 - Q: When using both networks, mobile data stream gets interrupted often!
A: Unfortunately, when using both network, the system enforces periodic disconnects on the mobile interface. There is no way to avoid them, but the app tries to mitigate its effect as much as possible.
5 - Q: How can I download from RapidShare (HotFile, etc.) with this application?
A: Sites like rapidshare do not support multi threaded clients. They don't want you to have more than one active download at a time. So it would defeat the purpose of this application.
It is possible that, with some tweaks specific to the site, and maybe the need of a premium account, it would work. That would need a lot of time to develop, though :-\
6 - Q: Sometimes I see "Dual networks" changing form "enabled" to "suspended", why?
A: From version 0.4, Super Download tries to avoid using both networks together when one of the two is failing too often; this is to avoid slowing down the transfer when in bad mobile reception, for example. If you feel it is suspended too often or when it shouldn't, please report on this thread.
7 - Q: Does it work for downloading [put your favorite big file here]?
A: It should work as long as it's a valid http or https url (no torrent (yet), for example) and the web server doesn't limit multiple connections.
8 - Q: Does it work on a tethered connection?
A: I didn't try myself, but I got some reports that it works. The tethered connection works as if it were wifi, and you can add your mobile speed to it!
9 - Q: Why doesn't it work for downloading from the market/play store?
Q: Why don't you just replace the default android downloader?
A: The default downloader is not a "normal" application, it's a core part of the android system and libraries. Even if it was possible to take its place, it would be a compatibility nightmare, with all the os versions and different carrier/manufacturer customizations that are available.
10 - Q: Why can't you do the same system wide, for all the applications?
A: That would need to modify android internals and probably every application that needs it. Currently Super Download merges the packages from the two connections at the application level and there is no simple way (that I know of) to do it differently.
11 - Q: On my Samsung with original firmware and touchwiz I can't see the download history, even though I'm on later than froyo!
A: That's because samsung has taken their froyo downloader and put it on gb, ics and later, without updating the downloader api. You know, it's easier to make a customized program work on a new version of android rather than re-applying the changes to a newer version of the downloader...
12 - Q: Can you alter the app and allow it to do tethering also? I want to create a wifi network which combines two 3g networks and doubles the speed for the user.
A: I'm sorry but Super Download can't do this. The problem is not just enabling the interfaces (you can get some clues on how to do this on this thread, without the need for SD altogether), but combining the packets from the two channels. As far as I know, this can easily be done only at the application level; what this means is that you would need to modify the programs you are using on the client in order to make it work. An exception would be the use of proxies: most networked applications already support this, so theoretically it's possible. But currently a bit off topic for this project, unless it can grow to a much bigger application than it is now. It is in my todo list for the future, nonetheless
13 - Q: Did you copy/reverse engineer Samsung Download Booster?
A: NO. It's the other way around. My app was out a lot earlier. Super Download is, infact, the first application of its kind.
14 - Q: How's your app different than Download Booster?
A: Samsung's one is integrated into the rom, so it has a more low-level access to the protocol. This enables it to work on, for example, play store downloads, which Super Download can't. Still, none of the two can work on all the network traffic: they are both limited to the HTTP protocol and supported applications.
Does it work for you guys?
Is it actually faster than wifi only?
Please let me know

Dual mode uses both networks (wifi and mobile), maybe the label is not clear. I could change it to "use both networks" or something, what do you think?

No setup is needed. It should work out of the box.
Could you please try with another file type and/or another website?
Thanks!
So it looks like this is a replacement for the "Downloads" app that is already on the phone. It handles the download well, though I can't see much of a difference downloading as the server I am downloading from is the limiting factor, not my wifi. Here are some observations:
We should test this on starbucks or other limited wifi
The app did not ask for root privileges
It does not seem to route all traffic through the dual mode, only some file downloads. Am I missing something there?
All in all though, it is a cool experiment, I look forward to do some more testing with it.
I really don't think this makes a difference.

Thanks for your testing.
There are many factors affecting performance.
One is what you already said that often the bottleneck is the server itself, not the local network.
Add to this the fact that, when dual mode is disabled, the thread which should download using mobile is routed thru wifi, and you may get the file faster by using wifi only.
Moreover, android automatically puts the mobile connection down after some time when wifi is in use, leading to timeouts and needs to wait for reconnection.
All this can be mitigated, fixed etc. Just let me tweak it further and please continue reporting! More feedback, more fixes
Here is the new version:
0.2
- aggressive threading option added, should greatly improve speed on some servers
- network and layout tweaks
- timing display
- fixed FC when no wifi and both networks enabled
I'm getting terrific performance improvements with aggressive threading and some "lazy" servers!
So please have a look at this new version and let me know

There are limitations, but it can be done, as this project demonstrates
