it would be great to get grid calendar as standalone app like calendar pad. The widget is nice, but having an own app would be even better sine you can use the whole screen...
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
In fact, I think I'll create my own full Agenda application : Pure agenda or Pure agendus... I don't know yet.

Take the best of Agendus, WebOs Agenda, Pocket informant ...
[G1 Apps and Games] prettyboy85712:
Astrid just updated to 2.11.0. Do you know if that version is safe to use?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I think yes :p

EDIT : I confirm, everything is perfect with this 2.11.0 version.

Just ignore the warning message (I'll remove it soon).

I am integrating gTasks provider for tasks... It should be available soon.
[G1 Apps and Games] bubu:
Koxx is possible to know if it's possible to read webcall? ics? or syncro with iCal?

i can't run my webcall under google for no reason...no idea to put inside pure calendar an ics or webcal importer?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Not without a huge developpement.

And this is a too restrictive market to be interesting.
[G1 Apps and Games] MrCapcom:
I wanted to know if this was rom related or somethign in the software that im doing wrong both apps are miss aligned for some reason any idea on how to fix it?

I also have another app weather widgets and its doing it too. I have a DROID
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I think you are using an Home replacement application which is really not good with widgets ....
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
Could you add interface with Calendar Pad Pro as well?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
already done... will be in the next release.
[G1 Apps and Games] Shahpur.Azizpour:
that would be awesome. there is not one single professional calendar app on the market yet, so you would basically have a monopoly here! ;)

calendar pad is a good start, but can't be compared to solutions like pocketinformant...
[G1 Apps and Games] MrCapcom:
Nah its not a home replacement
[G1 Apps and Games] isma.mail:
This would be great. I still miss my pocket informant from my previous windows mobile
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
which ROM are you using ?
[G1 Apps and Games] topcaser:
Koxx,

it is pretty annyoing that Pure calendar dont shows due out tasks. Are you working on it? Dont you have the same problem??

Thanks for help.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ace42:
Wow I didn't even know that this came out yet, I'm going straight to the market to get this.:D
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
the new option is ready ;)

It will be published in few hours with gTasks support.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
update published :)
[G1 Apps and Games] topcaser:
Koxx,

you did again an excellent job with that overdue option.

I like pure calendar even more every day.

The best app on the market and worth every penny.
[G1 Apps and Games] daveid:
Could you think of any reason I can't see this app in my market with me new Nexus One? I purchased it too.. kinda bummed (a few of the paid apps I have are not showing - even when I search for them manually). Is it possibly due to OS version restrictions?

Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
do you use a custom ROM ?

which operator do you use ?

yes, it can be a market restriction because of footprint and copy protection.
[G1 Apps and Games] daveid:
I did install a custom ROM - CM5.02 - but I don't remember seeing it when it was stock (I didn't install all my programs as I knew I would have to wipe to install Cyanogenmod).

I am on T-Mobile US.

I can still see and install Pure Music Widget, which makes this more of a puzzle...
[G1 Apps and Games] be0ne:
I'd like to add that the whole Pure serie is as good as Pure Calendar is.

Koxx, I join others in thanking you :D
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
ohhh :)

another french guy :p
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
this is a very recurrent problem with copy protected apps and custom ROMs (or fresh new official ROMs).

you can search on Google, you'll find a lot a users complains.

unfortunately, I can't remove the protection without making everybody reinstall the app (I tried during 1h, it was a disaster).
[G1 Apps and Games] Branwen:
To sort out protected apps, make a nandroid backup of your current set up.

Then flash a rom that you know has all the market apps (may not help for the Nexus1, sorry)

Open up the market, accept t&c, then download any protected app.

Then restore your nandroid backup, and you should have protected apps on that rom :)
[G1 Apps and Games] daveid:
Thank you kindly, I simply made a Nandroid, wiped, signed back in, restored my backup, and now all is well..
[G1 Apps and Games] docsparks:
Hey, awesome apps.

In Agenda-Calender, when im wiping and reformatting my phone, is there anyway to transfer my agenda Calender settings? like my girlfriend has ALL of her class schedule setup in it (its long) and ive been neglecting to wipe and reflash a rom on it because of not knowing.

Anyway to back up ALL of the data/settings? Not just the APK?

Or find a way to atlesat transfer it off and back onto the phone?

Any info would be tits. Thanks.

-edit-

changed grid to agenda. i was referring to the wrong widget/app/apk/whatever
[G1 Apps and Games] docsparks:
so is it safe to say that support has died here?

its not like i havent searched through pages..
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
lol... no. why do you say that ?

EDIT : I AM THE DEV, and I am not dead :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
If you make a backup with nandroid, everything will be kept.
[G1 Apps and Games] Branwen:
titanium backup in the market backs-up and restores apps and data, has worked for me so far
[G1 Apps and Games] docsparks:
basically, my girls phone is so messed up i cant even create a nandroid , atleast to my knowledge without reading hours more of random scenarios.

Basically it just works as a phone and TXT right now. and I want to pull all the apps+data the easiest way i can. the main thing being her pure calender widget.

And for some god awful reason, Ti backup freezes on the phone, as Mybackup is expired on her phone, and mybackuppro is over-registered in my name. Backup4Root, well, I havent reformatted phone yet to see what it saves for me.

Again, any file names I can access and save? Im not pirating the app over or anything whatsoever. I just want to keep any file saved that I can that would contain her lil 25 minutes of filling stuff in.

[edit] Ive been using DroidExplorer to access files, but again, unsure which to try to save?

again, thanks again for ANY information or advice you can pass along.

Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] sshark:
Koxx -

I see that various task and calendar programs are now supported in Pure Calendar Widget

Can you provide support for Moxier Exchange calendar to be shown in Pure Calendar ?

I would really love to see my work appointments on the homescreen on Donut (which does not have native Exchange support).

Let us know either way.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
No, I can't support Moxier because it doesn't contains a contentProvider to share data with 3rd party apps.
[G1 Apps and Games] raven2000:
koxx, wow I can't believe the progress you have made since December! Astrid and gTask integration sound amazing.

For me the icing on cake would be integration with ToDo application that syncs with Toodledo. TooDo by Édouard Mercier and ToodleDroid are two applications that sync with Toodledo. Is it possible for Pure Calendar to support either of these applications?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Hi,

I am not against adding other providers but they have to be finalyze to avoid me problems :

- ToodleDroid : 3.46/5 (androlib)

- TooDo : 3.33/5 (androlib)

I'll ask them will it reach at least 4.0.
[G1 Apps and Games] Agge_:
I really like this widget but I have some ideas how it cold be a little better (to me at least).

If one have too many tasks in Astrid or gTasks, it takes up all the space in the widget, pushing the calendar events out. It would be a nice thing to be able to set a maximum amount of tasks to be shown, not only by priority, so you still can see a couple of calendar events even if you have a lot of tasks.

Another thing that I find a little irritating is that the tasks and todays calendar events in the same list. A way of separating them, maybe with a "Tasks/Todoo" title or another color of the text/background, would be good.

And when having both tasks and calendar events in the same widget, one would of couse want to be able to add both calendar and tasks through it. So one good idea would be that when you press the tasks area of the widget, you come to Astrid/gTasks (so you can add/edit tasks). And when you press the calendar area you come to the calendar/add event screen. I hope my description was reasonably understandable.

And a little visuall glitch i've found pretty uggly (don't know it it's the widget or the skins fault) is the background of the dates (Mon, March 4) is very "square'ish" and could be a little more stylish. Icons could be a nice option infront of the title or the events. And a nice little calendar icon in the top of the widget would add a nice look to the widget. I will try to make up a little sketch of visual things (maybe a skin) that I would like to see.

Like I said, I don't know if these things are skin related or has to do with the widget it self. That's my two cents:)

Keep up the good work!:D
[G1 Apps and Games] Settembrini:
I stopped updating "Pure Calendar" a long time ago. It isn't "pure" anymore. I really do not understand that everything should be put into one app. It gets bloated like so many programs we know from Windows. I also stopped using Astrid although I helped translating it into German.

Same reason programs start to suffer from a sickness: featuritis.

Just my opinion.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I do not agree with you at all.

For me tasks and events have high links.

And I filter a lof of new users ideas to avoid implementing not interesting ideas.

For me a good idea should be useful for most users (>20%). If not, I won't add it.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Thanks for your ideas.

Let's start :

- maximum number : I do not agree at all. If it filter with 'maximum', it will be random, and you can't trust the list. I have bannished this idea a long time ago. I think you have to organize your tasks or view to be sure of what you want to display. Tags and priority filtering are enough for me.

- task/todo title : I want to keep the space for useful informations. And what about task at due dates ??? I won't add title for them. It will be too weird.

- application opening : I think the current behaviour is pretty good : either one direct app, either 'ask to user' the application. If you have only 1 task, it will be impossible (I assure you, I tried) to tap on it... and it you have no task at all, you won't be able to launch your task app.

- day bar : I don't understand, but if you can point me the problem on a screenshot, I'll be glad to improve the default skin. By the way, I strongly advise you to use skins... they greatly improve the overall rendering (and suppress the day bar background).
[G1 Apps and Games] getiem:
Some remarks about the Pure Grid Widget.

Very nice! First widget/app to combine corporate and gmail

Nice overview and a scrollable widget (to next months!)

Quick and skinnable.

Some things that are improvable:

Event insertion: - Can you make the "Quick internal" more accurate with date/time?

It is the only "event insert" I can use where a quick choice exist between Gmail and Corporate

There is no other app on the market that can do that.

Currently the Quick internal does not have choice for date and time, and now the inserstion causes a 1 day event on the current day. Not on the day where you added the event (pressed the + button)

Second question; Do you plan to bring Pure Grid as an App instead of an Widget. You have then full screen, more space available. I would be very pleased to have that, and I think, many people with me.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Hi,

for quick event insertion, it's made for text input only. You should read the information page. You can enter day and time for any event :)

For Pure grid as application... I am thinking about creating a full PIM application with view similar to pure grid.
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
The bullet/colar bar alignment for small font size on Nexus one is quite out of wack:
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Yes, I know, the problem is specific with 2*x sizes. I advise you to use another size waiting for this bug fix.

EDIT: oh, another question: is it 'normal' font size ? or smaller ?
[G1 Apps and Games] refthemc:
Any way to get a skin like the new Agenda Widget on Sense? Really like the look of it but hate that it takes the whole screen, which is why I prefer to use your Pure Calender because it essentially does the same thing but in half the size :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
There is already 'Sense' skin (very similar top bar, border and background / only the day bar and calendar markers is different).

So, what do want exactly ? :p
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
my god. You should update your skin ! This is an OLD veersion with good buttons ... :p

- for 'calendar icon' (top right), forget it, not enought space.

- you didn't activate color bars

what could be done :

- change day bar similar Sense 2
[G1 Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I recall asking a long time back, but have not seen an option for yet, how can I specify when week 1 is? For me this would be very useful at work, but work week 1 is first week of February...

Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I remember, and your request is still pending (look at the first page).

I am very busy ...
[G1 Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Ok, fair enough :(

;)
[G1 Apps and Games] getiem:
Thanks, i discoverd how to add the date/time with the quick event adding.

But I have a strange bug.

When I add a event with the grid calendar with the "quick internal" The event is added in the agenda for the grid. It is also added in the agenda corporate on the phone. However, it is not synced to the exchange-server/outlook.

Even not, after manual pressing sync button.

To get the event into the exchange server/outlook, i had to edit the event in the corporate calendar (just add some text or something) and then save again. It will then automatically be synced to the server.

Are you missing a sync command with the "quick internal" add event?

For now, I will change the addevent to the "Corporate agenda". Since this will solve my problem on shorthand.

FYI: Using Motorola Milestone (similar to DROID)
[G1 Apps and Games] tgwaste:
is there a version coming of pure grid to only take 1 row? like a 2 week view or something? i wish i would had bought the pure calendar instead of the pure grid :(
[G1 Apps and Games] polygonal:
It's with small size. (not the normal size)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Guys, I'll be in holidays during 4 days (in 1h)... without internet : it will be hard !!! ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] topcaser:
Have fun.

I cant await more superb features in Pure calendar.
[G1 Apps and Games] uberingram:
I'm probably stupid but I can't get tasks I create via the web to show up on my agenda widget. :(

The settings says I have to install gTasks but I don't see a gTasks on the market that I would need. I set the provider to Gtasks, check the first and third box but nothing gets added.

Edit: As I suspected I'm stupid, please disregard. I got it figured out.
[G1 Apps and Games] Settembrini:
Sorry, what is wrong with the latest update? The option "Select List" (gtasks) doesn't work anymore. Although I have chosen a list, everything is shown, everything from all lists. Is that supposed to be the case? I cannot believe it. Is it possible to get the old version?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
can you update to 1.8.0 please ?
[G1 Apps and Games] nwijma:
Is it possible to see appointments on month view as "mini text" instead of coloured bars, like in "pocket informant" or "calendar pad"?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I am thinking about it ....
[G1 Apps and Games] nwijma:
Thanx, that really would be perfect. I"m using pocket informant on my other (winmo) phone and would love to see this feature in your app.
[G1 Apps and Games] Settembrini:
@Koxx, thanks fast correction. It works again. All smiles! :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
perfect ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] groucho51:
+1 for this idea!

I've been using Calendar Pad lately for just this reason, even though I prefer Pure (which is why I'm always checking this thread to see what updates are in the works). :)
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
Any idea when the option to hide Todays Date will be added?

With two widgets on my main screen (calendar+tasks) the second date is just taking up space :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
in a long long time... because I don't want this option. :(
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
But due to the effort it takes or something else?

If it is not due to effort this seems a quite valid option.

For instance I have on my screen one 4x2 for calendar and 2 (2x2) for (work/personal) tasks.

So I loose a lot of space for displaying the same information three times. :(
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
because layout management for widget is very difficult, and because of people complains (just a simple example : what will become ? people will complains if they overlap the text).
[G1 Apps and Games] piafinho:
I know the pain a complex widget layout can be :)

What about one option to "name" the widget instead of putting the date?

So keeping the same layout but allowing people to make it more useful

On could call the widget like "Todo", "Work" or "Personal".

It would look better in the screen then several times the same date.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
That's easier, yes :)
[G1 Apps and Games] nexus@xda:
Hi,

just preventing that this feature request gets lost:

refresh in widget triggers Astrid sync

:-)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
i can't do it because my developement branch in Astrid is closed.
[G1 Apps and Games] raven2000:
koxx, I am great fan of your Pure Calendar widget it is easily my most used widget. Can you please add support for Got To Do? It is a great intuitive and easy to use To do app that syncs with Toodledo.

Got To Do: http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.slamjibe.android.todo/
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
just sent a mail to 'Got to do dev' :
[G1 Apps and Games] raven2000:
Cool, let us know what the dev says.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
He agree :)
[G1 Apps and Games] raven2000:
Thats cool.

Any idea how long it will take?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I give him code snippet to implement it faster.

If he matches my interface, it could be quick (1 week for 1rst beta, 2/3 weeks for full features)
[G1 Apps and Games] nexus@xda:
Hi,

do you plan to support Remember The Milk for Android?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I don't want to replace any task manager app, and Pure calendar + Astrid already do it.

So, the answer is : never.

I only want to interface with good task manager apps (which works very weel with Astrid and gTasks).
[G1 Apps and Games] nexus@xda:
Ok. :p

Then: is it possible to re-open you dev branch to get "refresh Astrid via widget" working? :D
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
No, I don't think so...

It was hard to get Astrid merged, Tim Su is not very reactive.

But you can do it if you want ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] nexus@xda:
We'll see. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] 1024k:
Hi Koxx, tedious issue on my G1.

I always get today and tomorrow in english instead of italian.

First time i activated it (initial translation) was showed correctly in italian then switched to english.

Others week days are in italian.

Thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Translation is done when you tick the translation box in the widget config panel, then stored in the database.

Be sure you have internet access when you tick the checkbox.
[G1 Apps and Games] 1024k:
I did that and was working, but now is in english.

My phone is not connected 24/24.

Do I need to re-tick the checkbox after every update?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
no, you should not have to do this.
[G1 Apps and Games] 1024k:
Ok, i'll let you know.

Now is working after uncheck-check again.
[G1 Apps and Games] Armadillo123:
Ok. This Pure calendar looked pretty good so I went ahead and bought it.

Somehow I only managed to get it to display in monthly mode when I wanted the one that shows just a few days.

After reading a bit it appears that there is two different widgets? But searching in the market on "pure calendar" only revealed "pure grid calendar" which now appears to be the wrong one. Am I just too tired or is this a bit confusing?

I think I might have to ask for a refund cause I think I got the wrong thing :(
[G1 Apps and Games] 1024k:
Hey Koxx another question: why the widget doens't auto update on new day?Today i got the "today" set to yesterday and "tomorrow" set to today.

I had to click the refresh button to have today as today...hope you understand :D
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
you should read this :

http://koxx3.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/pure-calendar-invisible-on-the-market-for-some-users/
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
3 main reasons :

- task killer

- low memory

- you disabled the keep-alive service in the widget config panel

if you don't find the solution, set a fixed refresh period (3h for example), it will work.
[G1 Apps and Games] 1024k:
Thank you.
[G1 Apps and Games] disq:
Great widget! Feature requests:

- "Day MonthString DayString" option :)

- Ability to change widget size once it's initialized (a combo or two spinbuttons in settings to set size)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
- "Day MonthString DayString" option :)

>>> ok, no problem

- Ability to change widget size once it's initialized (a combo or two spinbuttons in settings to set size)

>>> totaly impossible, Android doesn't allow it.
[G1 Apps and Games] disq:
Is it possible to include tiny weather icons in the calendar?

Like an option to put a right-aligned weather icon/forecast in the day title (where it says Fri, 9. April and so) and another option to choose what to display (don't display weather, display icon, display temperature, display both)

It could get the forecast data from the WEATHER calendar (if the user has this in Google) or externally.

Go to Month View in Google Calendar, enable "Show weather based on my location" and you'll understand.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
No, I won't do it.

It load a lot the app, need internet connection to refresh data and most weather API are not free of uses. There is commercial usage restrictions.

I tried with 'weather forecast widget', it's aweful because it brings a lot of user complains: Google weather API often provide invalid informations.
[G1 Apps and Games] raven2000:
Its been two weeks any news on Got To Do support?
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
work in progress
[G1 Apps and Games] pongalong:
Just a suggestion on polishing the app:

I think cleaning up the menu/options screen by creating submenus would look much cleaner and give the app a better feel. Other than that great work - I practically have all your pure apps.
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
I know, but it would be a huge job for a very small benefit. How long did you stay in this menu ? 30 seconds per month ?

I prefer to focus on useful features.
[G1 Apps and Games] rmblue2:
Hi koxx

You app is getting indeed perfect but I would like to see some details in this widget such as:

- replace "Today" with the day, month etc.. specially if you have nothing planned for today.. in order to avoid a blank space only filled with the word Today.

- make the words like today, tomorrow, day string, month, etc.. available in many languages, or make us input them manually so I don't have to change the full phone language! For example I like my android system to be in English but I would like to see calendar matters issued in my native language - Portuguese ;)

- Another thing is that your apps should have viable alternatives to Android market since I dont have access to paid apps, for example..

Thanks keep on the good work :)
[G1 Apps and Games] koxx:
Hi,

point 1 : done ! it will be in the next release

point 2 : no, I won't. Reason here : http://koxx3.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/users-requests/

point 3 : yes, I agree. Unfortunately, SlideMe disapointed me a lot, and I don't see other easy alternative. If you know a good market for paid apps with a good visibility, I listen ;)
