Calender with icon or text display in month view? - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Currently i use the SBSH calender wich supports custom category icons. With thoose i can see what going on the whole month on one page.
Are there other calenders that support something like this?

try thumb cal available in the windows marketplace. they have a trial version.

From the screenshots it has only colored triangles and circles...thats not sufficient..

The only calendar app which has text on VGA devices is Developer One Software's "Agenda Fusion" v8.70. It is a text option on the month view, but you can alternatively choose icons and time bars. I have used Agenda Fusion for some years. Since version 8 this has been an option. I don't think the simpler "Agenda One" product has this option.

Ok thanks, i will check that one out. SBSH doenst support text but i just created my icons with the texts, so i kind of cheated there.

There should be a trial download of Agenda Fusion, so that you can see if you like it. Please remember that this program should be installed to main memory NOT the storage card. It will appear to work fully, but some functions will not. I cannot remember which, but I had to contact their support and they confirmed that it is best to install to main memory. It takes under 5Mb so it is no problem. Just warning you!

Pocket Informant has all of these functions. A very useful small text month view. And the developer just made it free for WM6.5 - he's pulled out of WM6xx.
I don't use any of the "SuperPIMs" anymore because of startup lag which all of them have - I need to be able to look up or enter tasks and meetings quickly on the fly - but PI is by far the best of them, IMHO.

good work keep up

I just installed PocketInformat. What i allready like is that its fast. And i found the icons, i can even creat presets for my events i have every month.
Great program..i wish i would have had this sooner.

Today calendar

I have searched for a long time, but I can't find answers and maybe it soesn't work.
This is my issue. Most of the time your calendar entries are short, but on today the calendar always show 2 lines, no matter if you appointment can be short or long. (see pictures). Does anyone know how and if you can change to 1 line, such as 12:00-13:00 Lunch with boss
thx
I don´t know a way to change this...but what are the important things on the display? Battery Usage you can also see, if you look at the top, free space you can see in Settings/ System/ Memory. For the most Users it´s good, if dates are shown in this way. You can try it with http://tiews.info/index.php?show=software/todayagenda&lang=en (it is freeware), there you can change manually many things. Also the height of the plugin and the size of the letters.
this is my favorite

Todayagenda
I second Schaeferreiner in his 'vote' for todayagenda, made by Marcel Tiews. It is the most compact yet functional agenda-plugin. I use v1.0 beta, which works fine.

SPB Mobile 2.0 on Athena (please don't move)

The final version is out and it doesn't work with the 96 DPI on the athena. The tabs are missing in the settings list, which isn't a problem but the tabs have no icons on the home screen. This program looks really useful and I am hoping we can find a way to make it work.
Mods please don't move this thread, it is device specific and I believe the issue would be overlooked in the main thread in the general forums.
Working great over here at 96 DPI! I've installed the final version (2.0.0 build 3275) And so far I haven't seen any drawbacks. Works very smooth, animations without hasitation and a few nice new features.

Hi
The tabs can be Replaced in 192 DPI if you using spb weather or phone suite or diary then switch back to 96 DPI, but Home tab you cannot do anything.
Tab settings list still missing in 96 DPI.
See my screen shots and see my previous post.
A blogger on ZDNet reviewed SPB on an Athena, and said it worked well.

Good find however I believe he is ignoring the problems with the 96 DPI. Look at his screen shot the list of tabs are missing. And he has no screen shots of the home plugin, which I thought was a big feature of this application.
Thanks sabes143, I forgot to move the information about 192 DPI in this thread.

I agree. It is completely useless. It is impossible to get the tabs working or showing anything meaningful and impossible to get the other menus to stay on the homepage. I would steer clear.
No joy here either with 2.0. No tabs. Today screen plugin is totally useless without them.
Too bad, there are some pieces of it I like!
I saw this posted in the development forum: Password for dat files that are really zip files: b0fm18zq Maybe this will help make the icons show up on the tabs...
Their forums also note that they don;t support RealVGA - that could be the problem (and if it is, that is really shortsighted on their part)...
same problem here,
mobile shell works fine with RealVGA and the 192 dpi setting
but is pretty useless with 92 or 128 dpi activated.
besides the today plugin not working:
in the spb menu (right softkey by default) the icons of all my custom programs look totally crappy, and next to each icon half of the icon of another program is visible.
I have the same issues, except that on my today screen, there are three other icons appearing next to all the icons.
I don't like having so many gestures to go access my applications. Currently my setup is far better than spb mobile.This is what I have:
1.I have date and time on the task bar so what I can see it everywhere. In addition, I have the big clock on my today screen provided by spb time. This lets be have fuller function than spb mobile.
2. I have spb phone suite on my today screen.This is better than what spb mobile offers because in addition to what spb mobile offers, I also havethe ability to switch on/off bluetooth,wifi etc.
3. I use SBSH weather watch today plugin, which of better than spb mobile's weather program because it shows more info,occupies less space,and has much more comprehensive weather stations for smaller towns.
4. I use ilauncher to launch programs. It is much easier and effortsless to configure and customise the icons for all dpi. I also get the safe mode reset capability.
5. I use today agenda to show my calendar and tasklist on my today screen. This is better than pocket informant IMHO because each item takes only one line, so more items could be shown on less space on today screen.
All items are visible at once on my today screen, without any need to swipe any fingers, which is a fun thing to do for just the first few seconds, but is really annoying after that for me.
Don't know, but even i don't like the way it behaves.
Its quite jerky when it does the so called "Animation" when you open contacts or any sub screen.
Its far better to use spb pocket plus or even resco today plugin and get the basic things you need right on your today screen.
Though, its something good to play around for a few days ... but then eventually it boils down to performance. It the device is not snappy, no matter what you do, it will not satisfy ...
Let's give 'em a call!

Has anybody tried to contact SPB Softwarehouse and gave them a version of the TrueVGA to test it with their software? I would think we are a large community with a voice!

Help Build up Max-Sense

As many are aware the new Max-Sense Manilla Mod for windows devices isint perfect, but there are many things that do give it a nice feel. I thought i would open this thread to help in posting bugs/things that could be better or more intuitive.
Let start guys, if there are some helpful comments in this thread ill be happy to add them to the OP as suggestions. Please post what you would like changed or made better, and keep flaming out of the question.
Personally What I'd like to see added in future updates:
Internet link widgets for the homepages
The ability to have more than one blank widget
Live Facebook widget, kinda like the sense tab
Sync Calender with Facebook events
Would like to see a picture Slideshow widget..
i'd like to see the memory and battery widgets have assignable actions, ex when you touch the memory widget it opens ark switch, taskmanager, clean ram, or a program of your choice, and battery would open the power settings, etc.
i would like to see more favorite people widgets
i would like the option to change the max sense taskbar from just minimized, maximized, or none to the windows default taskbar as well
i would like the backup/restore script that beegee_tokyo created implemented into the menu under max sense settings
i would like to be able to press the whole widget for your notifications to take you to the sense tab not just the icon.
it would be nice if the left soft key in the home screens was easily assignable, some people like have the start menu assigned or an app of choice.
i wish the back hard key did somthing, even if it just sent you to the homescreens instead of actually backing up.
i'm not trying to be negative in any way, i absolutely love max sense and all of the work everyone has put into it, but these are all features i think everyone would appreciate
lastly just somthing that came to mind would be a notes widget
I have not tried it. I am still waiting for the author to get back to me about being able to use it my roms. As soon as i am able to use i will let you know. Thanks

+1 for these, especially the "press the whole widget, not just the icon" one. I though my installation was broken until I figured out that you have to push the icon, not the number (eg. missed calls)
My personal feature request would be the ability to insert a table of quicklinks into one of the three main home screens, rather than only on the home button flick left action.
i.e. To fill-in the empty left screen of my theme here:

I agree...I'd love to have my pictures at my main screen and be able to scroll like favorite contacts.....
Okay i have used every ROm on this planet and so far MAX is the most intuitive yet. Here are a few issues i have come across...
1- when returning from a tab based application there is a pause or slight hesitation where the notification bar return to back to the max sense appearance
2- all max sense ROMS are having the small MMS issues and for some reason the quick fix works and then doesn't and reverts back to the original settings
3-MAJOR battery eating - although i did notice when removing all the tmobile crap and the facebook tab that it was a HUGE success on saving batter...Now after one day of minimal use and testing often i was able to have 80% battery !!
4- I think that the Favs. widget could be smarter...quick sms mms or email buttons should or could be applied
thats all for now im sure I will have more ideas soon....thanks devs for making my windows phone make the iphone look retarded ....Nothing better then to see my buddy who just got the iphone 4 and then is caught staring at my HD2...And i know exactly what he's thinking...what phone is that? Phone envy is a sin i say....haha
well.. when we put a new widget, for example want to put a music player widget.. i put it but I want to choose a specific widget (of music player) to put.
So I want to have the option for me to choose what widget I want to put, and not put one itself that maybe i dont like it

Need to add contacts to my screen where single click makes call

I am running Kaos Froyo 35-1. I have tried different options, but I can't find a nice widget that lets me add contacts to one of my screens where I can click the picture and it calls the number. It always brings up the options for text, phone call, and mostly their details.
The original HTC widget did this, and I checked out the Launcher Pro People widget..and nothing quite works.
I am doing this for my kids in case they need to call my family members and don't need a course in Eris development 101
Any suggestions or apps to try?
check out Scrollable Contact Widget.
its a two click option, shows pictures of your choice of contacts (starred or category), once you click the persons name it asks you call, text, email... you click one of those and it goes.
nice app, could be tweaked to work faster though. but the best one i've seen. It requires you use ADW or LP
I've never tried this particular widget, nor do I know the developer, but ran across this over at AndroidForums awhile ago, and your post reminded me of it. They do have a free version so you can try it out and see if you like it.
http://androidforums.com/application-announcements/116453-new-speed-dial-widget-sign.html
I use "Contact Widget". It's free on the market and works great.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/br.livroandroid.widget.contatos
I don't believe it works with facebook sync, but I don't use facebook sync at all anymore anyway. "SyncMyPix" (also free on the market) will grab all your facebook photos for existing contacts and add them to your google contacts. You can do this once and remove the app since all info is updated to the actual google contact. Or you can use it to update periodically.

You're looking for a shortcut, not a widget
Look under shortcuts, not widgets.

Very simple in Froyo. Find a blank space on your phone and long press. Choose custom shortcut - press "select activity" - scroll down and pick "DIRECT DIAL". Next choose the contact from the list that pops up with number you want and press it. It will then add a 1 click dial icon to the home screen with picture.
Be sure to pic the correct contact and number from the list. For example if your kid's phone has "Mom" as a contact with a home/work/ & cell number when the list pops up to choose from you will actually see 3 "moms" listed with the three different numbers.

Are you the same guy who made the old grindrmod?
How this work?
It's good like "old" version?
So far works great, thanks! Is there anything new we should be aware of coming from the other version?
A couple of things :
- I do notice that not all profiles with chats have the orange border.
- would it be possible to add swipe across screens (I think previous version of app or mod had this)?
Thanks and great job!
Everytime it's opened, it can't get a location as 'I have no Internet connection' apparently, when obviously I have.

The mod introduced that far before the app did. One might argue that they took it and monetized it from @GrindrGuy. Does this mean that if the app starts mimicking other features introduced by the mod to monetize from them that the mod will just start taking them away? Nah, I'm against this move... You and GrindrGuy ultimately decide, but I wanted to share my two cents.

If you want to get "super technical" about it, this feature was introduced years ago in the original app but taken away around v3.0.
EDIT: Since I do not have Grindr Xtra, if someone would like to actually send me screenshots of what this feature looks like, I may be able to re-work it so that the module provides a similar feature that is not a direct replica of the paid feature.
I found a bug.

Oh, wow - didn't know that! Here I thought @GrindrGuy was the genius behind it!
Don't have Xtra, but something to bring back that function making it different enough might be to have a little circle with counter in it: currently app gives you a yellow circle with the number of new messages. You could play with that idea: just a yellow dot if there are viewed messages, or include the number (?).
Along the same lines, I have a suggestion: In my area you often get a few users who don't upload a photo and you just see the generic black profile pic with no user name. Would there be any harm / Would it be possible to give those profiles a random name (user1123) so as to know which user is which?
I'm still used to swiping left/right to switch between profiles and inbox. It's annoying you actually have to tap on those now. Dunno if you can revert that behavior.
Say you're chatting with someone and you want to go back to "nearby" view. you have to go back and then tap on "nearby". It might be interesting to have that navigation bar with nearby/inbox/favs persistant throughout the app, with it autohiding and showing back up when you scroll down. This way there's an easy way to always go back to home, and we also always see if there's a new message notification.
Another suggestion I had way back when was to further customize this navbar: for example, I'd love to order it to have first favs, then nearby, then inbox, and being able to swipe between the views. At this point it might also be nice to have the option of having the navbar either on the (new) bottom or (old) top.
Sorry for the long post! Thanks for your efforts, and it's also fun to think about UI design like this!

That's actually how the GrindrMod feature used to work, by "hijacking" the unread messages count to always display the yellow border regardless of whether the messages were unread or not.

I'd rather not alter the UI to that extent since there may be some underlying reason for them changing it in the first place (one person suggested that the toolbar was moved to the bottom in order to encourage accidental clicks on the banner ads).

Take my money!
Looks like the app attachment was removed from this thread? I'm running 3.24.x or something just so Grindrmod will work. I'm being told when I open Grindr that I can only use that version for two more days until it is mandatory that I update to the latest version. At which point grindrmod will not work.
So, I'm looking forward to an update =_=

Thanks! I didn't know it was a whole new app there. The links to it seem dead in the xda app with the xposed modules.
@GrindrGuyNYC, is it possible to amend the photo viewer activity (when tapping on a profile picture) to always show the Android soft-keys? Every time I tap on a profile photo to open it, I have to swipe up to show the soft-keys to go back. Starts getting annoying really fast. Thanks.
PS. GrindrMod isn't listed on Xposed module library when I check in Xposed Installer (I use the one by DVDAndroid). I had to go to the repo online to download and install manually.

I see it just fine in the official Xposed Installer.
@GrindrGuyNYC I'm on oreo 8.1 with systemless xposed.
The module won't show in notification bar even if I choose show always.
Another bug (on nougat too, with "standard" xposed) is if I swipe or open a new profile module ask me to undo last refresh.
