I am so used to the calendar app from my Samsung SII (E4GT) that I never really used google calendar on my phone and on my N5 it just stinks. On my tablet google calendar is fine and so are the widgets but on the phone not so much. Worst thing is not having a nice month view that lists items instead of just showing colors.
So what is a good alternative? I only use google calendar so I am not syncing with other email services and I have a shared google calendar with the wife so need to keep that in one place.
Thanks
I use Neat Calendar widget with the stock calendar, works well for me.

Thanks everyone, digical looks very nice and going to give it a try.
On a side note, isn't any.cal supposed to be out? I have any.do and have seen them advertise any.cal for a while now but never saw it actually be released on Android.
Thanks again.

Any.cal is in beta right now. I like it a lot but always end up going back to stock. I didn't like it until I found the text mod in this same forum.

Hmm, text mod? Do you mean there is a mod for the stock google calendar app that enables text on month view?
Interesting if true...
Edit: Found the thread, thanks! I had no idea this mod was done.

Thanks, after you mentioned text calendar mod I did a search and found the thread in this form, so will be checking that out. I am unlocked and rooted but still on stock recovery though, so need to install the alternate way if I do.

Where did you get Any.cal. The play store links seems down, i hadn't luck with their community either.
I signed up for their beta a while ago on the any.do website. You can try there and see if they still have it going.

At the very bottom is a let me know when it arrives. That is what I did and I got the invite later. Much later though.
Hi, friends!
I am using amazing Pimlical Advanced Calendar/PIM (I can not post the link to this app due to the rules of XDA forum) . I have use for years DateBk5 from same developer on my Palm.
Also I use Next Launcher 3D with its calendar widget.
My question is: how can I force calendar widget open Pimlical Advanced Calendar/PIM instead pf stock calendar?
The"Clear defaults" in stock calendar is greyed and I can set Pimlical Advanced Calendar/PIM as my default calendar application.
Any hint, please.

I know y i couldn't get that calender widget. I was running Nova Launcher, which doesn't have that widget. Its only in the Touchwiz launcher. So, i cant use it while running Nova. Unless someone know how to make it work. So now i have a choice. Keep nova or switch to touchwiz.

I only have one issue with this version, and it seems like the battery draining is huge with this version, otherwise, it looks very, VERY good and pretty stable for me. I'm happy because finally it looks even better than the iOS version, and the emoticons button is now placed in a more comfortable area.
Thanks for the heads up.

Probably it is a Beta version, but I don't think so, because it is already in the official download for Android, maybe it's about to be released on Google Play

^like he/she said. It's always been there. Works fine on the new version too.
No, I think he means the option to HIDE it. I find it an invasion of privacy (anyone who has your number can see when you're online, not only your contacts) so I don't use whatsapp more than to send my parents messages. I use Line until Whatsapp fixes that issue and bring it to a level that makes it on par with Android. Until then, I never answer people because I hate having people know when I'm using my phone to answer messages or not. One good thing in Line's favor is that it also has a PC Client version which means I get home, I can continue conversations directly, apart from the obvious privacy concern.
Come on Whatsapp, get your game on. This is an option that has been available for iOS for as long as I can remember, but you're lacking on Android.

Hopefully they will tweak it before releasing it on the play store. Don't think I will update until I read more reviews on the battery.

i thought whatsapp is pretty old and everyone is on wechat, isn't it?
since wechat is so turbo charged powerful and iphone-like smooth, making whatsapp looks like from stone age.
this is not an ad........and im off-topic i guess.
This new version is gorgeous and very functional. They have done a great job.

Google+ Home is definitely not a simple app, and would need months of development with Trial And Error. He asked for an idea for a simple app.
But your idea is great for a developer willing to make something big

Are there any text messaging apps with a quick reply feature like in stock that I don't need root to install? I have an HTC One and came from a Galaxy Nexus and miss that feature so much. I've tried some other apps, but nothing seems to have the ability to swipe down on a notification in the notification bar and reply like that without having to go into the app. The closest I've seen is the constant notification quick message thing in Handcent.

Another vote for Textra
I was wondering if anyone found a good messaging app that worked with Halo. So far hangouts is the only one that works reliably for me. AOSP messaging works until I click a contact thread and it switches into the full app. Textra and 8sms open the full app when I try to open them through halo. Oddly enough other messaging programs like kik work fine. Is this just the state of halo on kitkat roms, or something that app developers need to change? Thanks for any help.

Halo is a recent port to KitKat since pa hasn't implemented their official halo yet. Operability should get better as development continues.

Yea, pretty cool idea. I didn't end up using it very much because I prefer the banner notifications that are an option with the app: LockerPro Lockscreen as they are less intrusive for every day use.
