Calendar help.

Is there any way to get the calendar app to completly disable the "My Calendar" part?
When adding new entries in calendar, i have to manualy chose google calendar each time i add a new event. I want google calendar to be the default calendar. I tried only checking google calendar in settings (unchecked My Calendar), but each time i add an event, i have to manualy chose google calendar even though My Calendar is unchecked in settings
I know its probably not a very big deal for some, but i have set up google calendar to sync with phone and outlook, and chances are, ill forget to chose the google calendar when adding an event on more than one occasion
("My Calendar" wont sync in google calendar, so thats why i have to use google calendar)
Any help would realy be apreciated. Thanks!
(PS: My phone is rooted and im using fw JM2 if that can help in any way)

I agree, this is a big irritation. I keep quickly doing calendar entries and forgetting to select google calendar, then when I check on my desktop the event isn't there. I really hope there is a fix for this.

I agree, the single most annoying part of the phone for me !!! We need a fix either from Samsung or the Dev community. Anyone know how to contact the correct departmen tin Samsung for a fix?

Good to hear it isnt just me who is annoyed of this. When you uncheck "My Calendar" in settings, it should set google to the default choice when adding a new calendar entry.
Hope someone can fix this.

This looks like a fix for ya:

Is there a customization what would allow me to record calendar items which takes place
- once every two weeks?
- Happen the last wednesday of every month?
I find the stock calendar too limiting in this aspect, and wonder if that can be fixed.

What the hell was I thinking. Of course I don't have that much patience.
I tried it and yes! it solves the issue. Calendar entries are saved by default as google calender entries. Thank you... (BTW I did it using this "manual")
I guess the same will work with the standard contact application (same problem there)

Thanks for that info!! I will give it a try as soon as i have some spare time

Im not sure, but if you use Google Calendar sync to sync 2-way between Outlook and gmail, then gmail sync against google calendar on phone i think you can do this if you put the entry into Outlook. (Maybe google online calendar has this function aswell, not sure, the Samsung Calendar does not as you pointed out earlier)
The way to do it would be like this:
Add the entry in Outlook.
Sync against gmail with google calendar sync. (This can be done automaticly on different intervals with Google Calendar Sync)
Sync phone google calendar with "online" google calendar. (This can of course also be set up to be synced automaticly from the phone)
This should in theory work
Please give feedback if you try it.

Hey.
Where is TouchWizCalendar.apk & .odex, TouchWizCalendarProvider.apk & .odex, and InfoAlarm.apk & .odex located?
Nm, found it
/system/app for those else who wonder.
But unfortunatly, there is no com.android.calendar.apk or com.android.provider.calendar.apk in the Manage Applications list. (Even though i filtered with all)

Apperantly this doesnt work in JM2
Other people with JM2 have also reported problems installing the APK`s.

It worked like a charm on JM2 and now on JG5 .... I followed the instruction quite literally. (rebooted between every step etc etc)

Well, i cant uninstall the calendar stuff since it isnt listed in application manager, thats probably why i cant install the apk`s.

that's strange. Maybe it helps to "reinstall" the twcalender apps?

I did something wrong in the guide, i did copy instead of move on the first step, thats why those uninstall options werent showing.
Works now

Jorte stopped syncing to google

After I updated to froyo the sync from jorte to google stopped working. When i creat a new event in jorte it never shows up at google calendar. But i can see it in the stock android calendar. creating an event in stock calendar syncs to google ok. Jorte does sync from google calendar.
Tried reinstalling jorte, and also tried clear data in "calendar storage". still same problem..

I have the same problem.
After upgrading to JPC (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400 ) no tasks that are created with an third party app ar synced with Google
I use also some other Apps (Quickaddroid, Log 2 Calendar)
But no Task is synced. After editing with the Stock Calendar the Tasks ar synced but this cant be the Solution
Any Ideas?
Have also tried an Factory Reset and Disk cache wipe but no success.

Problem is froyo beta

So there is no chance to bring it to work with Froyo Beta?
Then i have to flash back and downgrade
It is Mandatory for me that Cal sync with everey app works.
No Workaround known??

Same for me, sigh.
No Workaround known?

has this been fixed yet?
- New events created in Jorte (use google calendar mode) -> not synced to Google calendar, but does show up on stock calendar
- New events created in stock calendar -> sync ok all Jorte, Google cal, Stock cal
- New events created in Google calendar -> show up in Jorte, stock cal

It seems like this problem is quite widespread, but there doesn't seem to be a solution. I'm having the EXACT same problem as described above and have found many similar issues posted on other boards, but no one seems to have an answer.
For the time being, I'm only using Jorte as a calendar viewer and entering events in my stock calendar. A bit of a nuisance, but that's the only way I can ensure everything's synced and showing up everywhere.

Okie dokie, I think I figured it out, at least in my instance of the problem anyway.
It was my task killer. I rarely turn my phone off and hadn't realized that it killed my Accounts & Sync process so when I restarted my phone I made sure to add it to my ignore list and VOILA, problem solved.
Hopefully most everyone else was experiencing the same problem and can fix it this way.

HTC Calendar

Is it possible to get the htccalendar.apk from somewhere (if anyone has a link please)?
I had the HTC Calendar on Leedroid 3.0.8.2 (had both the Android and HTC Calendars on a previous version of Leedroid). But now I've flashed Redux I don't have the HTC calendar and I miss it because it sync's with more sources than the android one does.
Anyone know where I can get it, please?

You can't use it on an AOSP ROM. From what I remember it relies on com.htc.resources.apk which is absent from AOSP.
I'm sure there are apps on the market that'll do what you want though? (I don't know of any mind, sorry)

Anyone know of a calendar that can sync with facebook as well as gmail?

Sync facebook with your Google Account and then Sync your Google account with your calendar - I have it set up that way and it works on GingerVillain AOSP.

Thanks for asking this question as I'm having the exact issue with Redux (having come from LeeDroid also).
When you say sync Facebook with google - you do this on the facebook website or google website or phone?
Thanks
p.e. I have tried other calendars including pure calendar and I couldnt get this working.
EDIT: Ok I got this working - I went to facebook and clicked on events, then I clicked on birthdays. There is an option to export - so I got the export URL.
I then went to my google calendar on the google website. In the 'other calendar' section I was able to import using this URL.
Back on the phone, I went into the stock calendar, went to menu and selected 'calendars' - I was able to then choose to sync to the friends birthdays calendar in the google account in the menu.
All sorted the calendar widget now displays birthdays again..

I'm not sure about redux but I know on oxygen, in the settings menu of the Facebook app there is an option to sync contacts, and it definitely works

Same for Redux also - I can sync contacts using the Facebook app but it doesnt affect the stock calendar (it just updates my contacts on my phone and changes peoples picture etc if they had updated their profile).

ah man, I totally forgot what this thread was about sorry

You have to sync it on your computer, not on your phone.
How to: Birthdays
How to: Events

This is what I asked in the OP. It appears that it isn't possible to use the HTC Calendar in non-Sense ROM's. Look at the posts above they explain why. I ;like the HTC Calendar too.

don't know if the OP is still interested, but I use Smooth Calendar, free from the Market on Oxygen.
It syncs with my google calendar etc..

Yeah, I use smooth calendar on my homescreen, I love it, but for an overall view it's not good, say for a month's view. I do like smooth calendar showing me the next 3 or 4 events on the homescreen though.

Google Calendar Screen Layout

Thanks guys. I got sync working on my KF. And I have done a lot of other things with my KF thanks to you guys.
Sorry to start a new thread but I didn't want to derail a sync thread when I have sync working. LOL
BTW a simple copy of the sync file to system/app, setting of permissions, and rebooting worked great for getting it to sync for me.
I have a problem with my calendar display.
The problem is that in week view or monthly view, the top of the calendar is cut off and doesn't show the holidays and birthdays like on my Droid X.
There is a gray bar up top. The gray bar also cuts off part of the first week in month view and 12:00AM in week view as well as the day of the week. The holidays and birthday calendars are enabled and are syncing.
Birthdays and holidays show up when I go to Agenda view so the data are there and sync'd.
It seems to be a display problem but I cannot see where to adjust the way it displays.
I am rooted and on 6.2.2
Screen caps from both KF and DroidX are attached of the same week view.
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem with the cut off top side. Of course, I have yet to be able to get it to sync either, so I haven't tried yet to fix it.
Just for curiosity, can you post which site you downloaded your calendar apk files from? I just want to cover all bases.
Brent

It was a link in one of the threads here on syncing. Can't remember. Sorry.
Also I forgot to post above versions of calendar.
On Droid it is 2.3.3 and on KF it is 2.3.7
I am sure that may have something to do with it. I am going to backup with titanium and try installing 2.3.3 on kf to see if it fixes it.
Man I love it now that I have Swype on my kf!

Well that didn't work. I guess titanium doesn't like restoring stuff backed up from other devices.
I guess I need to find the apk for 2.3.3
And Astro didn't show it in the list of apps to backup on my DroidX. I guess because it is a system app.

No luck finding an older version of calendar. Can't find anything on correcting the problem either.

Installed cm7 and calendar is working fine. Version 2.3.7

Calendar Question(s)/options

I notice that if the default (Google) calendar app (and calendar storage) are deactivated, that no other calendar app will sync with Google. I am trying to find a calendar app that will sync with Google on its own, is there such a thing?
I ask because I get a LOT of wakelocks (especially using Jorte), even with syncing off.

As far as I know, any Calendar app or widget that syncs with your Google calendar need the calendar service working so it can sync.
You don't need to disable them....just use whatever Calendar you want. I use pure grid Calendar widget ....its great.
I've never noticed the calendar service have any negative effect on battery or waking phone. If you do....then you have some issue. What makes you say it does??

I was getting a lot of wakelocks with Jorte. I uninstalled it and am trying DigiCal which seems to behave much better. I just wish Google Calendar had a couple of themes. It's not bad on its own.

Pure grid has tonnes of themes and widget sizes....but it is a paid app. I have it on all my devices. Check it out.
