Of All Mentioned, Business Calendar is the Best by Far!

The absolute "BEST" calendar app on any system was DateBk6.1 for PalmOS, hands down. I have purchased Business Calendar and iRT for Android. I have tried Calengoo, Jorte, Pimlical for Android, Gemini, and some other really lousy ones whose names I can't remember. Here's my thoughts:

Business Calendar - My favorite on Android and my daily driver. Well laid out. Great UI. Outstanding repeat schedules including many custom schedules (3rd Friday of every other month). This is the one to buy!

iRT - Used to be my favorite when I first migrated from PalmOS. Has look and feel of DateBk6.1. Dev's website even has a quote of mine as a recommendation. HOWEVER...dev support has turned to total and complete $#1+. Absolutely no further calendar development in nearly past year. Dev is now focused on his GTasks app. Promised improvement list on hi website remains unfinished. He promised upgrades in return for more $$$. Paid the $$$. Never got upgrades. Dev doesn't return emails or support HIS forum. User suggestions are ignored. Forum for support has turned to spam hole. AVOID this one!!!

Pimlical for Android - The one I had the most hope for, is the overall worst app. The dev is the dev of DateBk6.1 for PalmOS, so I thought this would be great. EVERYTHING is a workaround. Nothing worked as it was supposed to. Corrupted all of my native calendar data and erased some of it. It doesn't sync smoothly with Gcal and the sync app, Pimlical Desktop, doesn't sync with Pimlical for Android if Pimlical Desktop is updated. You have to wait for several days for the new Pimlical for Android to update before sync will work again. Most of the support is now provided by forum members and the forum was moderated by a member that had an iPhone and didn't even use the app. It was expensive, required the purchase of the desktop app as well. Used it for 2 weeks and uninstalled. Never looked back. Pimlical for Android is as big a failure as DateBk6.1 was a success.

Jorte - didn't really like anything about it. It doesn't do anything that Business calendar, Calengoo, iRT can't do. All 3 do it better and nicer looking than Jorte.

Gemini - Looked promising. Very colorful. Dev couldn't get text to line up properly on page esp. for large screen (Dell Streak5). Dev was more concerned with the colors and the background than the functionality of the calendar.

Calengoo - A very nice app. I was already using Business Calendar when I tried it. It didn't offer me anything more than BC so I stuck with BC, and am happy with my decision. Perhaps, if I had started with CG I would be using it instead of BC.

Hope this helps your decision making.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] cybriks:
Agree with krazmann. DateBk was the best PIM ever ;-)

Even agree on the Android part: using Business Calendar as daily calendar on Android, after having tested most of the others as well. After recent updates, even the widgets work beautifully and have replaced Pure Calendar and Pure Grid Widgets on my devices.

@krazman325

Many thanks! a very good review...

Which of those support the use of templates? I'm using pimlical and it is very fast to insert a 30-40 appointments in one monthly session with templates, but I agree with you about the shortcomings...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] pb1379:
I'm happy with S-Planner, like the integration and features seldom found a lot (S-Pan, attachments,...).

There's two things missing, though. Task synchronization with Google, and, in the same group, changing an event's calendar once it is set.

Before having S-Planner, I used Jorte, which is very rich, esp. the widgets, then touch calendar, the interface being so very simple and straightforward.

I highly recommend both, depending on what you're looking for, obviously.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] vfusion393:
IMO, the S-Planner is more than good enough.However, I use Business Calender to replace My Calender in another Samsung GB phone. Whatever, i think a good widget is also required for a good calender.

I use :

1/ Clean Calender Widget Pro:

2/ Tasks by Team Tasks:

In addition, this app is very user friendly and sync nicely with Google Tasks.

Try the dark theme with Blue ICS text colour.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] :
I love the S Planner.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] avm75:
Hm, actually i am thinking about the same question:

I like the S planner! Due to the fact I am writing a lot of notes during meetings, sometimes taking pictures too, I like the functionality to add these very simple to the appointment...

BUT:

My company is using some security tools concerning the exchange server. In order to these, i am asked to enter a pin on every time, i'll am entering the phone. Not too handy :rolleyes:

Therefore I am using Touchdown. I dont need to enter pins to use my phone, only when i want to read the mails and open Touchdown for it.

Everything fine!

BUT:

Additional I am using several Google-Cal. e.g. for private appointments, my wife's appointments, etc.

S Planner will show the Google-Cal., but not the Touchdown-Exchange.

Exchange is possible to add, but then I am back to my problem with the pin.

Does anybody know a solution to solve this?

Bussiness Calendar

In my opinion is the best calendar for Android. It is the most functional and usefull.

Hi All,

Has anyone here been able to sucessfully decompile/disassemble the TouchWiz APK and ODEX, for love nor money I can't do it using various tools, or if I can do it, the reassembled file doesn't work.

I'm trying to edit the

Launcher.smali

File to force it to choose screen for as the default screen as opposed to number 1 and, like I mentioned, using one set of tools causes it to fail, another completes but cannot re-compile it properly as it doesn't work once you get it on the phone?

I've attached the files (apk and Odex) in a zip file below.

Any ideas/help would be great.

For some reason my lte gnex will not let me add my Facebook account under the settings: accounts has anyone had this problem or know a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OFDorchester:
That feature is not available in android any longer. They took it out in 2.3.3 b/c of a spat between google and facebook. Right now I believe you can only get it working with a custom rom or if you have a phone with a skin like sense or touchwiz it will work.

Facebook will show up under the accounts option as long as you have the facebook app installed. It does not sync with your contacts though.

Try SyncMyPix from the market. works really nicely!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burningembers:
For what it is worth, extra support for this should come with 4.0.3, though who knows how on-board Facebook will be.

SyncMyPix is good. You could also check out Friendcaster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swegin:
Awesome thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eNomineZerum:
I will second Friendcaster. It will not pull everything like you want it to; however, it is pretty close. It also works better with more options than the official Facebook app.

I took my old phone and did an export of contacts, I emailed that to my new phone and got the large portion of them that just didn't seem to synch correctly.

try to use odin one click restore to stock rom
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WVULTRA:
Just got started rooting, etc, a couple of weeks ago on the wife's X2, and got an early Christmas VZW Droid Razr! :D

To play it safe, I just rooted using Zedomax's method and it installed the Bionic Bootstrap Recovery; and I've did one backup just to be safe.

After researching here, I found there's a newer razr bootstrap here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341578

This one uses Zergrush V2 root method but doesn't install the Bootstrap Recovery as the Zedo method does. Nitro has the thread to install the RazrBootstrap.apk which I assume is a newer version here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347767

I also see that Hashcode has Safestrap available which I assume is another backup/recovery method.

My goal right now is to have the razr rooted so I can get rid of the bloat plus have secure/stable backups in case I start experimenting and screw something up.

Is there any benefits to removing the Bionic Bootstrap and installing the Razr Bootstrap? Or using the Safestrap version?

Sorry for the noob questions; and I appreciate any feedback.

THANKS!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WVULTRA:
Since I'm not getting any feedback on the OP, I'd like to ask if a system restore to my initial backup would cause a particular app to not function properly?

Got an issue and it's really got me stumped.

ANY feedback would be truly appreciated!!!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Is it a system app or a blur integrated app that's the issue?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WVULTRA:
gary:

Not sure. When I click on the Contacts app, and tap a contact I get this message:

SORRY!

The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Force close

Talked with a guy today that seemed to be well informed; and he thinks my restore of the initial backup made with Bionic Bootstrap recovery method is missing some data compared to the stock data or has corrupted a file.

THANK YOU for any help!

:confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Have you debloated any of the blur related contacts stuff from system/app? For some reason removing the yahoo contacts or work contacts hoses things up. In the themes/apps section someone posted a link to a full TiBu image of the stock apps if you need a specific item. Factory reset might be the only fix though, or possibly trying to restore only the system partition of your nandroid if its not corrupted.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WVULTRA:
Have not removed/froze any of the necessary apps that I'm aware of........

After initial root, did a nandroid bu along with a full bu in TiBu Pro. When I started having issues with the contacts, I restored back to initial nandroid along with TiBu. Also used TiBu to extract/restore all the apps from the nandroid bu.

TiBu is currently showing 246 user and system apps. Can't look at the image of stock apps you mention above (at work), but will do that later.

My only resort may be to unroot, and factory reset.......

[XPERIA X10 General] streamnlnl:
Some of you know me, some don't. I'm more active trough PM then trough posting. But this is something that is bother me for a while and I think a lot of us.

And it can't be done trough PM, believe me, i have tried....

We all (if we are fair) know that the x10 is old mobile. And the most of us don't use a mobile longer than 2 years. So why o why read I so many post of people that are complaining about a update from a dev. Let them move on and give new dev's a chance

My personal top 3 irritations!!!!!

1) if you can't do it yourself, be grateful for everything they do for us and don't complain!!!

2) if we (the users) get a new mobile, how many people still stick to the x10 treads? So why expect a lot of people that the dev's must stick to the X10 forum and development further!!!

3) if a dev don't post for a while, don't post non related post in a DEVELOPMENT TREAD and complain about a update!!!

I have talk with a lot of members trough a personal message and told them about the post they have placed. But I think its a neverending story.

I think when the Mods are more harsher and give quicker a warning and ban people, then maybe people think twice what they post. I know that the mods help xda in their spare time and do all they can. But when you make a couple statements, the word get spread and maybe maybe this will work!

thanks for listening to my complaint
[XPERIA X10 General] Bassarnis:
Even though i bought a Galaxy Note, i still read the first page of the General/Dev/Q&A section of the X10 forum daily.

You are right about people complaining to developers for updates, but that's just the way it is. It doesn't have to disturb you, or anyone. Most people ignore these types of begging posts anyway.

My experience in forums showed that having strict moderation won't do a thing. It will only lead to more drama. I know you feel you have to do something about this, but believe me its better if you relax and don't do anything at all. The mods know their job and doing the best they can. Talking to individuals via PM's and trying to explain why they shouldn't do this and that is not only time consuming, but as you can see, it lead you being frustrated enough to start this thread.

This thread will be read by (lets say) 1000, will be replied by 10-20, some may agree, some may not. It then will crawl it's way on the bottom of the page until a similar thread pops up. (There, just saved you some time :P)

Bottom line is, it's the interwebz. Don't get too attached.
[XPERIA X10 General] negrobembon:
But he is right though
[XPERIA X10 General] matthew5025:
RANT AHEAD!

Unfortunately, you are right. People feel its a right they possess to get the developer to work non stop for them. Things in the x10 forums are still relatively mild though... In the atrix forum, the CM7 thread had to be closed for a period of time due to people complaining and demanding for fixes. And the "thx" posts. Here's a classic example

I like the x10 forums, things are usually more peaceful and people more helpful here.

3. read the OP

I have just counted 93 posts deleted by moderators and with the warnings posted, about a dozen took vacations for ignoring the developer and moderators warning of being a Dev only thread. Just because you do not see warnings posted everywhere does not mean nothing is being done, most problems can be sorted out using the new infraction system, we use that all the time now, it is easy to use and straight to the point.;)

This type of thread cleaning and response is happening all the time, reported posts are dealt with much faster and if anybody needs banning, senior mods are available on gtalk to sort it out immediately.

To be honest, if I'm a software developer, I'd love people whining and complaining for updates, especially when there are high demands of it.

Why? Simply because I know they love my softwares and these kind of posts are what motivates me to keep developing softwares and updating my softwares.

Oh, and I won't whine about how much work it takes to develop a software, brags that I can code while you can.
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:

If I as end user demand something in rom it is because "customer rights" allows me to do that. But again as dev if something is not possible or needs time and number of users demanding something is low i explain over pm what, where and why. That shouldn't be that hard. But again implementation of something in rom itself it is sometimes very hard process, so end users like me should be patience, or try add on their own ( bloody hell don't worry ppl it is not like book thing you won't need to read ;) ).
