The calendar app is one of the basic apps used in our daily life and is common in all devices. Many people depend on the third party calendar app to get more features. Here is your Honor 5X with inbuilt feature rich calendar apps, which delivers more that you could imagine. It is not just a calendar with date; you can customize it as required.
The Honor 5X calendar app owns a simple and effective way to display the calendar. Apart from the normal calendar, you can get various views of year, month, week, day and events. It is not overloaded with lots of unwanted features and images, so it is easy to use and have a simple and elegant feel.
Apart from various views of days, you can add multiple events, reminders, reminder alarm and notifications etc on Honor 5X calendar apps. It works quite an impressive way. You can find the calendar app from the home screen of Honor 5X.
To add an event on the calendar app:
Step 1: Open the calendar app from the home screen

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Step 2: Tap on New event to add an event.

You can also view the calendar based on Month, Week and day. For that, just select Month/ Week/ Day option from the calendar app.
The Menu option contains additional features like Year view, Search, Go to, Calendars to be displayed and more.
Year view- The Year view option will display the calendar of the whole year.
Search- Search option helps you to search the events or agenda.
Calendar to be displayed- Calendar to be displayed options helps you to choose which calendar needs to display out of the calendars which we have synced from our Google accounts.

To make the calendar friendlier, you can customize the calendar view settings and Reminder settings. To get into this, tap Menu option in the Calendar app and select Settings.

[Idea] SPB Mobile Shell Facebook notifications widget?

Hello all, I'm a software developer (VB/C#) but new to WM. I've recently bought SPB MS3 and fell in love with it instantly. Looking at the widgets currently available, am I correct in thinking creating new ones is just restricted to modding existing ones?
With this in mind I thought about how a facebook notification widget could be created (coming from a blackberry it’s the only thing I miss) I came up with the idea of:
Clone the excisting email notification
Change the picture and name of it Facebook (obviously)
Set up a dedicated email address and enable Facebook email notifications on facebook.com (this would be the only downside as it would also require the user to change their login email)
Develop a simple program which the "facebook" widget links to
The program will simply clear the email inbox and then launch the Facebook application if installed, if not then launch http://m.facebook.com
First of all, being new to SPB I’d just like to check if this is plausible or perhaps I'm missing something and there would be a simpler way to go about this?
Hello sir,
It is plausible and doable BUT there are so many great facebook applications out there like FIM that work so well when SPB is running. Yes I would love to see a facebook widget for SPB, but I really used the chat interface alot with facebook so if you can implement that it would be really good. Other than that just emails for notifications, that would be boring .
Let us know what you are thinking in more detail, and I can help you out.
thanks
Hey, think you may of misunderstood what I'm hoping to achieve. I'm not going to create a new facebook application just a simple SPB widget to show when you've got new facebook notifications, for example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Oh thats cool you should do that, please go for it. I will be the first one to use it

yrgo 3.2 beta 2 with full Contacts editor and much more.

Hello everybody,
the new release of yrgo is here.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Presentation video or yrgo tutorials
More screenshots
So what's new:
New contacts editor - you can add or edit contacts (deleting is not implemented yet). Contact can be added by context menu under the unknown phone number in the call list or the context menu under the "phone number" item i the contacts. Editing is enabled thru the contact details.
New Today plugin that allow to run yrgo like on the today plugin. It is not exactly this - the Today plugin checks whether it is shown and then it automatically activates yrgo. In this case, if you press the "Red HW button", it will force you to the Today screen where rgo today plugin activates yrgo. Lot of users was looking for similar behavior. This option is disabled by default and you have to enable it manually - go to the "Settings->Today->Items" and there disable all today plugins and enable just yrgo plugin. That's it.
New gadgets:
Contact - allow to create an unassigned icon on the desktop where the contact can be chosen later (in non design mode) by clicking on the icon. The contact can be then changed any time by the context menu under the contact.
Write SMS - the same behavior as the Contact gadget
Application - the same
Settings item - the same
So expected "simple upcomming appointments" gadget - is on the bottom of the gadgets list
Simple tasks - also on the botto of the gadgets list
New system of searching long lists (introduced in the last beta) was improved so it should much better now.
The bluetooth Gadget now switches between On and Off only... the Discavoarble is accessible thru the context menu.
"Snad to grid on/off" option for the design mode.
In the settings the contacts search behavior can be changed: yrgo may search in all information about the contact (address, email, etc.) or just in the name (to improve the performance).
long tap on "0" in the contacts allows to write "+"
In the settings the option of disabling "Message was sent msg box."
Some changes in the SMS so I should be shown to you correctly (but I haven't tested it)
I did some change in alarm gadget so it shouldn't show you incorrect data (you have to test it )
Maybe also something else
I hope that's all.
Enjoy it!
New release can be found here: http://2daysoft.com/yrgo/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=283

Calender Draining battery

Hey everybody,
For about a week or 2 i noticed that my calendar is really using a lot of cpu power and draining my battery.
Below you see a screen shot..
I don't use my calendar very much.. just sometimes.
do sync it of course but i have always done this but all of the sudden it started to demand so much..
anyone else have this???
stock rom... no updates installed from htc because i dont want to loose my root.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
that sample you see there is only for 1 minute 45 seconds, in that time the calendar could have synced, and used 60% of the total battery used during that 1 minute 45 seconds.
I expect if you check after being unplugged for a few hours the calendar will appear normal again.
If you want to look at more detailed battery stats enter *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer and goto battery history.
No, this is a real drain, I had the same thing.
This is what i did to help it:
- Go to calendar
-press the menu button when you are in calendar
-press more in the menu of calendar
-go to Calendars
- when there you see all kind of things like facebook pc sync hollidays, sync with your google account
Just deselect them al, and the problem is gone.
I had the same thing. To fix it I cleared the data for all calendar apps and widgets.
The four I cleared are called Calendar, Calendar Storage, Calendar Sync Adapter and Calendar Widget.
Try pressing menu and selecting sort by size, then again to go to sort a-z. This should refresh the list again in alphabetical order and group them all together.
This worked for me perfectly.
download another calendar then
Ok thanks everybody..
Will try it to see if this works for me..
Will post it when i have some results!
Success..!!!
I went to the applications settings menu and cleared everything that had the word calendar in it.
then reopened the calendar, it took a second to load and then worked again like normal.
and now its not showing up as a memory hog anymore!
Thanks for the help!

[Q] No more groups in Android L contacts app?

Hey guys,
am i just to blind to see the option of showing groups in my contacts or is it gone with Android 5.0?
Hi there,
I supposed you are using the stock contact apps.
Try this one:
1. Open your Contact and press the option.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Go to filter. Scroll down to "Display Contacts".
There you can filter your contact list of all your signed account,
such as google, messenger, facebook, etc,..
Just check the box of the group that you want to appear in your contact list...
I hope this could help you...

That's definitely not the stock Contacts app on a Nexus.
That looks like an LG on Gingerbread or something.
yep, using stock android 5.0 app. not that one shown above...
No, it's not. It's Xperia ICS. Sorry for not giving the exact nor straight answer. But I meant to say is, we all know that Android has its common setting. And its possibly the solution is in the contact, settings and filter...
I got contact groups back in stock contact app in the contact modification activity (after the google play service update I think)
The thing is that is not possible anymore to browse contacts by groups.
As you say you can modify a contact group in the edit label but you can not browse contacts by groups thats very annoying unless for me that I have an agenda of over 400 contacts (work and so on).
Does anybody find how to?
Not a very simple solution but you can select which group to show/hide in the account selection menu (only in all contact tab)

Google now reminders don't respect Interruptions settings in Priority mode

I just recently got 5.1 on my XT1060. I want to set priority mode so that it behaves similarly to the old silent mode on prior Android versions. For example, when I'm sleeping, I want to set up priority mode so that I ONLY get alarms (no sound or vibrate for calls, messages, reminders, other app notifications, etc.).
Anyway, I have configured the following settings:
When calls and notifications arrive -> Allow only priority interruptions
Priority interruptions:
Events and reminders -> ***OFF***
Calls -> OFF
Messages -> OFF
My problem is that, even though "Events and reminders" is set to OFF, I STILL get a notification sound and vibration for reminders set within Google Now. However, this DOESN'T happen for reminders attached to notes within Google Keep. I haven't yet tested all the other possibilities with Calendar events and reminders.
In the "App notifications" settings for the "Google App", Priority is OFF.
What is the expected behavior?
This seems like a bug to me.
As an additional comment, it seems like it would be useful to have customizable presets for the Interruptions settings. Depending on the situation, I may want to configure interruption settings differently. For example, sleep vs. in-a-meeting vs. driving vs. in-a-movie-theater, etc. Rather than having a single "Priority" mode, there could be a drop-down where you select from an arbitrary number of customized presets.
Finally, how do the per-app notification priority settings interact with the Interruptions settings? For example, what is supposed to happen if I turn on Priority in the per-app notifications settings for Hangouts, but have Messages OFF in the Interruptions settings. What happens when I get an SMS?
Good day, it seems you're in stock 5.1. I'm running CM 12.1 20150916 nightly and its been great.
About the presets you mention CM has something called Profiles (see screenshots) and you can enable them from quick settings if you add Profiles as a tile.

Thanks. I have no plans to flash a custom ROM. I just want to understand what the expected behavior is and whether or not this is a bug.
I posted the same question on the Nexus Google Product Forums and got no replies.
