I just got ADW launcher and I need a calendar widget to replace the stock one.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I'd like one similar to the stock month calendar widget. One that shows the whole month, some kind of bullet or marker on days that have an event, and some kind of text box showing the event for the day you touch.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lilant510:
I second that question/request. I wonder if theres a way to use the stock one with other launchers, it seems to be the only stock widget thats missing if i remember correctly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
Actually there's a couple more I need to find replacements for too.

The task manager widget that displays the number of active apps and takes you to the task manager if pressed.

And the double clock widget that will let you display two different clocks, with time zone and location of your choosing displayed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joser24:
Try jorte on the market? I love it!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
Thanks! I'm trying it out right now. There's still a few things from the stock one I miss though. It doesn't have a widget with a text box on the bottom that can show the whole event. Instead it shows small text in the day box that gets cut off, and you have to click on that day to see the whole event title. The tasks seem to be a little limited too. Like you can't add a location that you can navigate to later. I'm gonna keep playing with it though. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i use the Go Launcher EX Calendar widget, it's simply the best available out there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
yeah I saw Go launcher yesterday during my search and told myself I gotta try that one. Looks like a lot of good stuff on that one. I especially like that task manager widget that they have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
Thanks for the recommendation AllGamer! I'm using Go Launcher now and loving it.

lilant510, if you're still missing stuff from the stock, I suggest you try that one. Has everything I was missing from stock and more. Better than ADW IMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
AllGamer,

Do you use the Go launcher toggle widget? Does it work ok for you?

When I press the GPS toggle, it goes to the GPS settings menu, instead of just automatically toggling it off/on.

The 4g toggle sometimes does and sometimes doesn't work also. Seems to depend on if the wifi is toggled on with it or not.

Wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
i do not use the Go Toggle

because the ROM already has all the on/off switches i need build in
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
they also have a Transparent skin for the Go Calendar Widget, it makes it really elegant
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nickolaskg:
I've used literally ever launcher available to date and imho Go launcher is the absolute best! And all the Widgets that come along with it put it over the top. There are so many skins fir the Widgets and I use the calander widget which is my favorite.

Sent from my Galaxy S2 Using the XDA premium app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eMace:
Yup. Exactly the one I'm using.

Great for those who are accidentally stuck on T-Mo firmware.

I'll give it a try before throwing away my charm :P

Quick question: There is nothing extra/better with this firmware, right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] victory144:
It still "2.1 update-1" but have many improvements, see the list at the top of this thread.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] therkr:
Not much improvement IMHO.

Of what I've heard, the t-mo rom sucks more battery. So an improvement on that= avg. battery life on deblur ROMs. Also, my messaging app already shows the last msg instead of the first. Possibly, t-mo had to put up an update for these while others got it stock.

Download the zip at bottom of post.

move it to your /root directory of your sd card.

make sure you have no other files named"update.zip"(if you do rename it to something else.zip)

change name of downloaded file to "update.zip"

in settings/about phone or about device you should see an option to update. press that. it will install the update.zip to you device.

please report back and let me know if this worked.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Sexyjedi:
So, I wanted to calibrate my battery today, and so I charged it to 100%, turned it off and charged it to 100% again, then booted into cwr, wiped battery stats, restarted my phone. After a couple minutes I remembered to unplug my charger.

About an hour later off the charger, my phone went from about 70% battery to 0% and shut off automatically. I knew there was no way I actually ran it down all the way that fast, so I rebooted, and it showed it was at 4%. A couple minutes later it jumped up to 15%, and has been jumping back and forth for the past few hours.

I think I messed up the battery stats by keeping the phone on the charger after wiping the stats. How do I go about fixing it?

The only thing I can think of at the moment is running my phone until it actually dies, then charging to 100% while off, then wiping stats while actually unplugged. Will this work? Or, is there another solution?
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Im just guessing but maybe wipe cache along with the battery stats and try to re calibrate from there. Did the battery get really hot, like over heat?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I would just cycle it complete and see what happens. I've had some screwy numbers show up during a calibration before. I wish I'd taken a screenshot of the time it dropped to 50%, fell instantly to 25%, then slowly rose to about 42% before it started falling again. It was freaky. Once the full cycle was done, it didn't do it again.
[Android General] Ownaginatious:
Now I've come to realize that it's possible for me to get a 1 GB data only plan for my cell phone for $15 a month.

In light of this, I've decided to try and find a way to conduct all my phone stuff over the internet, which is waaay cheaper than a standard phone + data plan. I'm also out of reception both at home and work, so what I have now is pretty useless since nobody can ever get a hold of me. On top of that, I'm a pretty lazy guy - so being able to receive phone calls directly on my computer would be nice.

So far the most viable solution I've discovered is Skype. I can dial out anywhere for $3.00 a month, and I can receive calls with a phone number that forwards to my Skype account for ~$6.00 a month.

The only thing that kills it for me though is SMS. Skype cannot receive SMS messages under any circumstances (since Skype lines are actually land lines, or something) - and it's expensive as hell to send them (~10 cents each).

So now I'm looking for a plan that has basically all that, but also SMS (preferably at least 50 to unlimited a month). The most viable option I've seen so far for this is Google Voice, but it isn't really available in the way I want in my country (Canada), and all the ways to get around it seem to be obsolete.

So at this point, I'm pretty close to just saying 'screw it' and forgoing SMS.

Before I do that though, does anyone know if this is really the best solution? I want to make sure there isn't some super awesome smaller VoIP service I don't know of out there with much better rates ;).

Thanks!

Hi,

Could you provide the apk ? I don't have an Android phone. I assume you just have to install it. I have a rooted KF
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c71clark:
This phone was rooted already, then today I returned it to stock since the cyanogen7 that was on there did not... somehow... have the menu option to "update profile" I needed to change my phone number. I wanted to re-root, but I'm having trouble where to begin.

In the Power+Vol Down boot screen, it shows S-OFF, and HBOOT 2.10.0001

I cant make Revolutionary work because 2.15 is the lowest HBOOT it accepts.

If I choose the "recovery" option in that list, I get a black screen with a red triangle/exclamation point icon over an icon of the phone. I have to take the battery out to get the phone back on.

The phone does work, btw. But I miss the stuff I get when it's rooted. Anyway... what do I do now? How do I get the recovery/cyanogen7 on there if I cant get superuser permissions?

I used some other method back when I rooted this phone, but I haven't seen anything yet to spark my memory of the steps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
U are already s-off. No need for revolutionary. Go to dev thread and look for amon_ra recovery. Download it and follow directions to flash it. Then download whatever rom u want and flash that. The red triangle just means you have no recovery.

Support TrevE !!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c71clark:
I thought Revolutionary was how I got the custom recovery on the phone, which I need before I can root? I;d like to put CWM on there, since I have a paid version of Rom Manager already, and I believe they work together well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
If that's your hboot then you rooted with unrevoked and don't use rom manager and clockworkmod everyone here will tell you it leads to problems
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c71clark:
So if my HBOOT is 2.10, it means I originally rooted with "unrevoked", and there may be problem with that and the Rom Manager/ CWD setup?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You did originally root with unrevoked. Sometimes it doesn't flash the recovery [known fact] in which you do as Paranoia said above, as to download, flash, and install a recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
All you need is to flash a custom recovery in the bootloader and you will be set and yes everyone will recommend amon RA (supersonic RA) over clockworkmod recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
Beat me lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c71clark:
Okay, I did the Bootloader/PC36IMG.zip thing, and then I loaded the cyanogen7.1 zip and applied it. I got a load screen loop one time, but after taking out the battery and booting again, it loaded into cyanogen. I dont see the Market in the menu tho...

Rom Manager is installed though, but to do anything it wants to install CWM. So do I let it? I need the market, obviously. If Rom Manager is to be avoided, what replaces it? I liked how everything was in one place, with auto backup's and recovery of the phone, etc...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

You just need to flash the latest gapps in recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c71clark:
Okay, that's in process. But the question remains, should I uninstall Rom Manager or can I use it? If I shouldn't use it, is there anything that replaces it? How would I go about backing up my phone and data? I've paid for Titanium a while ago, so I know I can use that to backup app's, but what about the phone itself?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You'll have to uninstall rom manager as you need CWM recovery. To back up, simply backup all your apps and data in tb, boot into recovery, select nandroid restore/backup, selecet backup, and you NEED the first 3 checked [boot, system, data]. Also if its your first, backup wimax as well, then copy it to your pc for safe keeping, in case you ever lost your wimax keys.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunfromsako:
Figured I would ask here instead of opening a new thread...I have an evo running hboot 2.10 and 3.30 software that I would like to root. I've used unrevoked back in the day but its been so long. So I was thinking about upgrading and using revolutionary. Is there really any difference that would want me to re learn unrevoked, or just upgrade the h boot and software and use revo? any insight would be appreciated
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Just use unrevoked, download and install the hboot drivers from the site, connect the phone via usb, charge only, usb debugging enabled, run the software.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunfromsako:
Ok do I need to uninstall the modifed HTC drivers for revo on my pc? Or are the ok to leave?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
There is no reason to "upgrade" to revolutionary. Unrevoked is the same thing as revo. Just unrevoked doesnt work with the newer hboots. If your already s-off in bootloader there is no difference. U can use any rom regardless if u used revo or unrevoked. The whole object of rooting is to get s-off. Once you have it there is nothing more you can do. Ive used both on unrevoked on my original evo. And revo on my newer refurb. There basically the same. Easy auto root pretty much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I'd uninstall them, the install the unrevoked drivers.

you see, the thing im most worried about is the nexus is a newer phone, but it seems like a downgrade from the s2 other then its screen size and resolution, I'm pretty sure s2's screen is better then the nexus too. But of course the nexus line is pretty reliable, I've owned the original nexus b4. Will the s2 beat the nexus at everything as soon as ics comes to s2?
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
Please whatever you do, dont listen to this guy. I played with the galaxy nexus as bell already has it available and it is NOT an upgrade in screen or speed. Everybody seems to be sucking up to this phone for some reason. Its not nearly as smooth as you think just flipping through the homescreens. A live wallpaper like the microbes will slow it down like crazy-ever seen lag from a live wallpaper on the sgs2??(the current excuse is its poorly coded lol). Using the internet is not even close to being as smooth either-you can even see it in almost all review online yet they still say its amazing. Please use it first before you go out and buy one.

No sd slot, camera on front and back not on par with sgs2 by a long shot, the screen is less vibrant and more pixelated, cpu is worse, gpu is worse, phone is too tall to even reach the status bar unless you really stretch (im 6'1 with big enough hands) and battery life is reportedly worse (will improve with custom roms im sure).

The only real advantage the nexus has is updates, which is a strong advantage.

I honestly went out with the intention of buying it but it was a definite downgrade.

[Galaxy S II General] Slow N Stupid:
well if u dont count on nexus's slightly bigger screen and abit more pixel then, S2 is one update away from being better than nexus

and just for the sake of defending S2 8mp camera makes whole alot difference in picture u take

i feel bad about nexus so ill defend it also XD Nexus have zero shutter lag meaning.. when u press "take photo" for S2 it takes 0.5 - 1.5 ( no idea what is exact ) then it takes picture but nexus has zero lag which takes immediately.. so u wont miss the "good" situation/expression or anything else u want to capture
[Galaxy S II General] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
People have compared the S2 to the Nexus.

Nexus has faster browser speed. But these comparisons don't make sense because ICS has not been released with its fixes officially for the S2. And the Nexus benefits from these fixes.
[Galaxy S II General] pacc:
Forgot to mention that ICS currently doesn't have Flash support, which makes pages lighter to load.

Ask the question here and you will only get the answers from gs2 owners, meaning only pro gs2 comments.

I'm in the same dilemma but I already have the s2
[Galaxy S II General] pacc:
From Galaxy SI the following specs were upgraded in SII.

+ FULL HD recording

+ Dual Core

+ Super Amoled Plus (improved battery drain)

+ 8 MP camera

+ Much better GPS

From SII following specs downgraded in Nexus

- removed sd card slot

- 5 MP camera

- pentile super amoled (higher battery drain)

- slower GPU

- slower CPU

Other than ICS, Nexus doesn't bring anything extra or better than SII.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
- better Screen

- Shutter

- much faster Updates

- no Touchwiz

- no Bloatware

- open Platform (TI Omap, there are sources for nearly everything)

- aosp device tree

For every user who loves to customize his phone the Galaxy Nexus is much better than the Galaxy S II.

You'll see real high quality custom roms by time, not only rethemed stuff like on s2.
[Galaxy S II General] pacc:
I was referring to Specs only.

I agree with most points you mentioned, but there is nothing really outstanding in Nexus device, other than the new concept of full screen mobile phones which was now introduced by Galaxy Nexus and Nokia N9.
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
I get your view point on the nexus being easier to work with as a developer-especially in your case but...

-screen is NOT better, i have spent time with it and it just isnt

-shutter is great if it had a great camera

-faster updates is a given and the main pro

-touchwiz actually improved things like the camera interface, dialer and gpu acc. browser which has yet to be matched in smoothness even by the nexus

-the processor lags, im sorry but it just does

-aosp, again goes with the updates pro

Im just disappointed that they couldnt do better because i really did want it. Roms arent rethemed (though many are). I think the devs deserve some credit their with the work on the S2.

If you ask me, the nexus crown still belongs to the N1
[Galaxy S II General] soullinker20:
i have a GS2 but could've gone for the GN but with the massive battery drain on the GN i decided to just stick on the GS2 but still in dilemma as i love the bigger and design of the GN..

ICS was the main reason i switched from ip4 to GS2, i have NO regrets switching devices and love the android!

i just don't like the looks of my white GS2 a bit because of how it looks like a clone of a 4-inch iphone :( and the home button that really looks like the leaked 4 inch iphone's home button too other than that they're all good to me.. if it weren't for that quick battery drain of the GN, i'd go for it..

anyway just my opinion..
