So after a brief stint with iOS, I'm back using a Nexus as my daily driver. But there's one single, essential iOS app I have yet to find a replacement for.
What makes Fantastical great is having the half month, half agenda view on a single screen. So far, haven't been able to find an Android app that does the same thing. Even tried combining widgets (which would even be ideal), but it's hard to find widgets that size well with the stock launcher.
Am I missing something? Anyone know of any decent alternatives?

DigiCal comes closest, I think, and keeps to Holo design to boot.

Thanks! Playing around with it right now, and it comes very close to what I'm looking for.

Hello,
I switched from an iPhone and would never switch back, but I was shocked that the stock email app could not zoom out to view a whole HTML mail. First I thought it is a problem with my phone, but google shows me that this is on all phones. I tried kaiten mail, but it has the same problem and additionally an ugly UI. What do you use for your mail?
I use cyanogenmod 10 and it has the Apollo music player instead of the stock one, is it better than the stock or would you recommend the stock one, I assume play music it is called.
Thanks

I use MailDroid Pro. Works great. I don't use my phone for music- that's what my iPod is for!

have you tried this one? I use stock gmail app but in changelog their say about pinch to zoom options, and it has a lot of positive comments
Thanks but sadly the same result, I can zoom in but not out to see the whole message, the same also in kaiten, the paid successor of k9.
Any other hint?
Thanks

Maybe you should wait for contribution from Sparrow team in stock Gmail app I suppose the stock app will change in near future.
I have been playing around this morning trying to create a windows 8 launcher theme. I'll update the thread as I make progress if anyone is interested in it. Set up to vertical scroll and listed apps. This is my progress so far

Could you try to add an option for an app drawer that is like aosp? I hate list lol
Great work man!
Its launcher specific. You can choose any sort of app drawer you want. I have changed mine back to the aosp drawer also. I should probably say I'm just using existing apps to do this. I'm not smart enough to write any such coding to create a launcher myself.

So this will be a theme for go launcher, apex or nova, or something like that?
It looks nice so far! :thumbup:

Its lightning launcher with metro ui widget pro is the name I think. Took some tweaking but I'm getting use to it finally.

Creating a launcher is pretty easy all you need to do is create an android application with an intent for a launcher and now it's a launcher. The hard part is in creating all the live tiles and making them customizable.
Is there a link?

If you want a WP8 launcher there is already one in the market that is pretty cool. Another big update is suppose to come shortly for it as well...

I've stumbled across it several times but at three moment can't think of the app in the play store that has it. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running cm10 nighlies myself but a friend wants it. Thanks

im not talking about the thread.
download UCCW from the store. he can handle that.
then search for nexus skins or UCCW skins and see which one looks like one he wants.
install
add UCCW widget to homescreen.
select the one you downloaded.
its real easy

This is what he wants. He's super busy and doesn't have the time to look through thirty apps to find it. I'm trying to do him a favor and just pretty much hand it to him on a platter. I know you're trying to be helpful but aside from uccw, there is another stand alone app that has the cLock. That's what I'm looking for

Since starting to use my Nexus 5, I've noticed Google Now seems a LOT less useful than before.
Compare the beginning of the list of cards currently on my Nexus 7 2012:

With the cards on my Nexus 5
http://i.imgur.com/ksJLlyL.png
http://i.imgur.com/avQTrg0.png
Am I missing something obvious here, or is this a massive step backwards? Anyone else seeing this?
It's not just the options, I'm seeing obvious differences between the two devices in terms of cards appearing.
Running both devices in Australia, both with language set to English(UK), both with Google Now's language set to English(AU).
My Everything Else has 16 options. Try clearing data from Google Now and starting over.

I have never seen anything remotely like that in my Google Now!
I think Google just made all of them baked into the KitKat version. everything is based contextually on your usage. So everything is considered on but won't show unless you made a search for it. Example would be if you search Big Bang Theory, it would bring up TV episodes. They're just trying to trim down the fat in the settings.

My Nexus 4 was like that but my Nexus 5 seems to only want to tell me the weather so i have turned it off.
I'm noticing it too. None of my packages are tracking through Google now on my N5, but were on my N4.

It's what I'm hoping is true, but I still suspect (fear?) that I'm missing out on things I otherwise wouldn't have.

Looks like you installed Control Center.
Or you got your HTC too close to an iPhone and it caught a disease.
Noooo not ios! Sad! But let's see. Recently installed smart launcher and kk locker. Might be the launcher but I've been using smart launcher on my s3 for a long time and never seen this. Hmm...

Haha, well it definitely looks like one of the several iOS control center clones.
Here's another one that looks closer to the one you have.
I did just get the 4.4.4 ota but I don't think that's it.

No, it's not a stock app at all.
It's something you've installed...
Ok finally figured it out. It's Quick Panel that's part of the KK Locker lock screen app
