Google Calendar App vs S Planner - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps

Have you tried the recently launched Google Calendar App?
http://officialandroid.blogspot.com/2012/10/bringing-google-calendar-to-play-store.html
I find it smoother an cleaner than S Planner, so I'm giving it a try. I don't know if will interfere with each other, for instance, with calendar notifications, but, just in case, I froze S Planner using TIB.
Do you like it? Will you keep it?

What is S Planner :silly:

Nice to be able to have core google calendar on a Sammy ROM, yet I really like s planner, something that's lacking on cm roms

S Planner is optimized for s pen. Specially dragging and moving the item. But google calender not allow me the same. it is better alternative in non touchwiz N7000 ROM

i'm with paranoidandroid and using google calendar, best calendar app, even if you have s planner

In S-Planner I can see the labels
I tried Google Calendar. I Didn't like because the month view shows colors but not the labels of the events, like S-Planer do.

Yep, for Google Agenda in ParanoidAndroid Rom, I've set 230 DPI for Size and a layout of 600 px, It's awsome like that Forget Suck Planner

I'm using Business Calendar. I think it's brilliant. Very nice layout, especially on the Note. You can zoom the view, which is very nice. Good widgets too.
I bought the app in the end to get rid of the adds, but I think it was during a promotion so I might only have paid 10cents...

Wish someone could mod this apk to run at tab ui on any rom w/o changing build.prop - ie,from within the app itself
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

I was using S-planner on my old ICS rom, near the end of it I switched back to Google Calendar. You can use both at the same time they don't interfere with notifications or anything.
S-planner looked more pretty. If the one on JB rom works properly I'll probably switch back.

Ots galaxy note's calendar...

Great calendar app?

Is anyone using a good calendar app to replace the standard Samsung one? I use multiple google calendars and an exchange calendar and the stock Samsung app can only display one color for all four of my google calendars - very annoying.
I'd really like something that can do double pane to take advantage of the larger tablet screen like the Samsung one.
Thanks for the advice.

If you go to the 'amazon app store' they are giving away calendar app worth 5$ for free

Thanks. I had actually just installed it. It does not have a dual pane function, but I'm diggin' the custom calendar color feature.

I'm currently trying to decide if I want to install a launcher. I have launcher pro and not too fond of it. I'm looking at adwex now and I want to get peoples input on the two. Pro's and cons of each.
Have you tried go! Launcher? I'm using it with miui currently and it looks / works great. Similar customization to adw but I prefer go!

I like go! as well but it has one major flaw for me (well, not the app but rather the integration with Android when installing go! add ons like go! dialer). When you get a missed call, you can see the notification in the notifications bar. If you jump to it, it shows rom dialer / log and when you jump out, notification is gone. Normal behavior. But if you tap the phone shortcut in dock and it launches go! dialer by default, you see the dialer / log, but after jumping back notification is still there. Either go! dialer should display notifications in the notification bar so we could disable the android notifications, or the dialer app should remove the stock android notification once event was viewed. Same for go! message app. And go! notifications for dock shortcuts.
But anyhow, I would prefer if MIUI allowed app sorting on homescreen as part of it's launcher. And I do believe this is one of the most sought after features. I don't really like the way MIUI "reserves" blocks for each app and that you must move them to folders in order to sort and that the free spaces left on screen are not used up before adding the next app to the last active screen.
/end rant
I'm not using go dialer or sms. But I don't recall these issues when I did use them. Specifically sms, just turn off default sms notifications.

[APP] Facebook 1.9 update

just a new update for FACEBOOK 1.9
soooo smooth. go grab ur update!
Just got 2 new shortcuts, a bit of UI changes and the speed got improved a bit.
I'm not to big for the extra icons added but luckily I'm using another app for camera that isn't labeled camera like the one included with the update. Noticed the speed boost too

ICS contact photos sync?
Now when linking FB to contacts, I now get contacts photos syncing correctly on the Galaxy S2 running stock Samsung ICS 4.03. Before the 1.9 update it wouldn't display a picture (though it did work on Gingerbread). That was the only thing bugging me since upgrading to ICS. I've heard that on the stock Galaxy S2 roms Samsung had removed the ability to sync to FB, just like on the Galaxy Nexus. So i'm not sure whether its due to FB finally using the new API's or whether it just works on Samsung ICS firmware. Anyone know?
Liking the speed boost and the new notification settings.
And the $1million dollar question for today is, naturally:
How to get rid of those extra shortcuts, cam&msgr???
To hide the new icons, use a launcher that will let you hide them. LauncherPro has this feature, as does 360 Launcher. Not sure who else.
Now where's my $1 million? Haha.
Facebook 1.9 is okay... there are some UI tweaks around the app, nothing major though. Commenting on an image seemed a little more straightforward, and the comment box looked different.
If you want an ICS-themed Facebook app, look up Fast Facebook. It was just featured on Lifehacker yesterday, but I got it a week or two ago here on XDA. Should be able to find it in this very (sub)forum. I don't care for the UI but it is faster.
Heh, AWD Launcher here.... any other tweak??
TI backup cant see them.
Oh this really annoyed the hell out of me.if I wanted to install Facebook messenger I would have I I wanted to use a camera that links directly to facw book and crashes every time I open it I'd install a separate app.
Facebook needs to split the apps out and let us install the ones we want.
I'm hopefully not the only one but I've just uninstalled the app and bookmarked their mobile site in my browser and installed someone else app.
I'll have to use something else to sync photos
mez, you can use haxsync to sync photos if you are in ICS.
BTW does this version sync your facebook contacts (with their pictures) correctly in ICS?
Thanks. Haxsync has been mentioned before. I think it'll be one of the first few apps that I buy. I don't want to put my credit card on Google checkout just like I haven't on Xbox or iTunes or my wii yet I can still buy paid content of all of them
Android needs gift cards.
I'm using tweetdeck for fb and contact photos seems to sync with my contacts from Gmail anyway. They don't update but its a start.
I can live without the fb app for now.

[Q] TW scroll.

Maybe someone could do scroll in stock Tw launcher? In widgets like Apw or Plume.

Install APW, then login in to your FB accout or Twitter. Try to scroll your tweets up or down - its dont work. It works only after you click the arrow in APW. In ADW launcher or Launcher Pro it works by default.
scollable widgets are not supported in tw. Better use other third party launcher. About modding it I think its very tough thing and maybe devs won't be interested in it as there are alternatives available.

Wait for sometime buddy.
ICS is on the way & if I remember correctly then TW 5 / Nature UX of S3 has been ported for Droids on ICS.
Then you can enjoy the scrolling the widgets & much more.
Cheers !
Found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883 and scroll works!!!

Try ACalender+
If its because you like the S Planner widgets, Jorte is another excellent alternative. I've only just moved to CM10 because I found this.

ACalender seems nice, I'll try it.
Thanks !
Using paranoid Rom, with the Google calendar set to 213dpi, you get a superb view of all your accounts, month and weekly time planner, a great widget and you can black it all out with inverted gapps, it's quick and simple for me works better than all the others I've tried.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but the google calendar doesn't display the title of events. And I want this feature.
I've just tried ACalendar (free version), and it is really good. The views are perfect !
Jorte also not bad

Thats why I said set to 213, in month view you get text titles and week you get a small month box etc...if you set dpi larger then you loose this
I can recommend Pocket Informant. It comes with lots of.features and different views. And it's very convenient to use.
