I want to use a more customizable launcher, but really like the s planner widget. Is it possible to get this working with another launcher, or is it kind of 'built in' to touch wiz?
You don't get the option to add the widget on any launchers I've tried and can't find a better, or as good as 3rd party calender.
Thanks

Yes I too like the S Planner widget especially the tasks widget however I'm using Apex launcher.
Anyone found out yet how to port this?
Or.... is there a way to make Touch wiz launcher 5x4 in portrait?
Thanks heaps
Hey guys I'm new to the galaxy :silly: I have an s2 i9100 and touchwiz for me ranks as one of the worst UIs I have ever used (motoblur is my top hate).
but the two things I really liked was the S Planner app and widget, I even copied the 3 related apks from the phone before I switched to miui. now I wish I new a way to get them working but I wouldn't be very good at it and I probably would stuff it up some how.
I've been trying to get pure calendar widgets to work in the same way as the s planner widget (the widget is all I want).
I'll upload the 3 apks if anyone is interested but with all my research the sad fact is no touchwiz no S Planner widget :crying:
by the way if anyone out there knows how to get just a basic month view setup with the pure calendar widget can you please help me?
I don't want
scrolly nonsense
current day/week at top
timeline view confabulary
100000000 widget sizes
I just want
show current month with tap to view next previous month
show upcoming events from my synced calendars (google)
tap on day to view that days events.
thanks for your time.

Hi peeps, is there a way to use some of then HTC Sense stuff example the clock(the flip type not analog) & music player wiget on Launcher PRO?
i remember i do see some ss somewhere where the user using launcher PRO with Sense Clock. I want the speed & smooth scrolling of Launcher PRO but keep the flip clock & my music player wiget. anyone out there can tell me is it possible or not?
fancy widget. search on market. Perfect clone
duno about music though.
The actual sense widgets would require heavy hacking to get working, if it is even possible. No one has shown any intrest in doing so.
thx warlrus =)
Fancy Widget has been removed from the marked by HTC's request (because they meant it was a ripoff from their work.)
Still, i have attached the .apk for it.
As for the music widget, there isn't anyone that looks like HTC's that i have found yet.. But you could try out MixIng
thx sublue... no wonder i can't find it. thought i have a faulty market >.<"

No problem.
Anyone know of any widgets similar to the Sense 'Bookmark' (list view and scrollable) and 'Calendar' (grid view) widgets?
I want to switch to another launcher, but can't live without these apps!

If you use Dolphin HD browser you can get an add in bookmark similar to sense one.
If you don't use it then you should really check it out, its awesome.
Hi.
Does anybody know of a good calendar widget? I've tried some and most require you to use their calendar application. I personally prefer the calender app that comes stock with the vibrant and would like a widget that pulled info from there but looks more like the stock widget on vanilla android.

"Pure Calendar Widget" is one of the few paid apps that I have used the entire time since buying them when I had my G1 until now.
Extremely customizable and will allow you to use pretty much any calendar app.
Thanks guys, I'm downloading both right now.
I highly recommend Pure Calendar Widget as well.. excellent application and worth the $

So I bought pure calander widget, as well as messenger widget, very very nice. Granted theres a ton of options, too much to get into right now but so far so good. Nice way to spend the little bit of funds in my account. and the HTC sense skins are a nice touch.
*accidental doublepost, sorry.
The one that comes with launcher pro plus is pretty good. But if you don't use LP I guess its not too helpful.
using agenda widget
started using pure calendar widget today.
3 questions:
-i see someone mentioned you can make it htc sense like? i dont see how???
-when i rotate screen, the widget goes blank for about 2 minutes...not like a little lag and re-draw with takes seconds. it goes completely white for about 1 or 2 minutes, then it all comes back. any ideas?
edit, 1 more question:
-what is the difference between pure calendar widget and agenda widget? pros or cons of each?

You have the option to skin the app. At the bottom in the config screen theres the option to Continue and Skin. Thats where I found mine.
Also which launcher are you using? ADW has an option to enable and disable scrollable widgets, which might be the cause of your problem.
I recently discovered Jorte, which has a good amount of widgets and the calendar app itself is excellent and will fully replace the stock one (my preference) - but I'm pretty sure you can have it open the stock one. It can also sync with Google Tasks although it has to be done manually.
cool, thanks.
in LP, it enabled scrollable widgets and that has seem to fix the going blank problem.
but i think im going to try the agenda widget as pure calendar widget just slows my phone WAY down. It just slows everything down. maybe if i turn off scrollable in pure calendar and lp it will work better...
Anybody else upset that it doesn't come with one ? Any suggestions for alternatives?
Really depends on what info you want to see but I use Simple Calendar myself.

I used Simple Calendar in the past. But now I use the Today widget that comes with the phone.
I'm a big fan of the Pure Calendar, it's a pay for app.
i really like the LauncherPro calendar widget...
I like the business calendar widget, can take up a full page on the home screen if you want it to

I went and installed the TouchWiz 4.5 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883 and it works flawlessly. It has the Calendar widget as well as some really cool features not found in TW4. I highly recommend this for someone wanting a near stock TW experience with some really functional tweaks.

+1 for the business calendar widget, or there is also android agenda widget, which is pretty customizable, and will also scroll if the launcher you are using supports that....
If you just want a list of upcoming appointments, Agenda Widget is awesome. Very customizable, though it takes some work to get it just the way you want. In just a 4x1 space on my screen I can see my next 4 appointments, with little bullets next to them telling me which calendar they are from.

Eh? Am I missing some detail about this question? My device has 2 calendar widgets pre-installed: Agenda and Today. Agenda takes up most of a home screen and scrolls to display lots of calendar appts; Today just shows the current/next appt for the current day.
is there really no month view calendar widget for tw launcher that links up with google calendar?
i have tried go launcher ex and the calendar widget on that is perfect, but i want to run tw launcher instead.
i dont want to add agenda or today widget because i want a month view. any suggestions?

This is a list of bloatware removed from the Cognition ROM:
http://ponack.net/designgears/Cognition777/removed/
The TwCalendarAppWidget.apk listed there has a month view. I believe it's from the Euro SGS2 version of Touchwi but not sure. Anyway, replace the corresponding app on your phone with the one from the link. Worked for me on UnNamed 1.3.1.
Attachment so you can see what it looks like. Not bad.
thanks!
do you know which folder it goes in?
is is possible to theme?
/system/app
same one as your current TwCalendarAppWidget.apk should be in. It should be possible to theme using all the normal tools, apk manager etc.
EDIT: OK, now you got me curious. I was able to decompile, edit some XML and recompile without problems, so yes, I'd say it definitely is possible to theme it. FWIW, I changed the first day of the week to Sun (normally Mon.). I might do a full flashable mod with different themes and what not. But it will take me at least a week b/c I am busy with stuff. No promises!
EDIT 2: Oh, never mind, my changes were superficial. All I did was change the day of the week label, not the display of the widget. Still a good project. Not sure at this point if it is above my head...
EDIT 3: Ok, now this is just getting embarrassing. Using the apk I linked to, all you have to do it go into the Touchwiz Calendar app, go to preferences, and set your First day of the week preference. Widget should reflect this change, otherwise, delete and re-add widget and it should be there!
I SWORE I tried this before and it didn't work.

Pure Grid Calendar is absolutely gorgeous. I have a month view on my lock screen and a week view 4x4 on one of my homescreens.
It pulls from multiple google calendars and displays duration bars corresponding to your events.
Simply stunning. Hands-down one of my best app purchases.
Since I only recently jumped on TSF Launcher, I've found that I've already gotten used to the great looking 5x5 calendar widget that came with Touchwiz. Much to my chagrin, it's only available when using Touchwiz.
Most of the calendar widgets in the market are either list type widgets, or not sized correctly to be displayed on this giant screen.
Has anyone come across a calendar widget that they like for the Note?
Jorte Calendar has a 5x5 monthly calendar widget. It's popular although i think it's a bit on the ugly side in terms of looks...but with time I think a lot of customization is possible.
You're right about the ugliness - not even close to Samsung's widget.
Deslandes has one called PURE Grid. I use PURE Messenger a lot and the functionality is always fantastic and it looks great. The biggest issue is if you're using Exchange. It'll work fine with Google, but it can't read your Exchange calendar on a Samsung device yet.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.pure_grid_calendar&hl=en
I personally love Jorte and don't find it ugly at all with some tweaks. A big requirement for me is that the widget has to be very functional. By making the widget completely transparent and using Google calendar colors, looks sweet to me!
Also, using the month+task view, I get all the information I need at once. The widget also adjusts to landscape view effectively.

It says it works with Touchdown, so shouldn't that be fine for Exchange?
Android Pro Widgets ?

Puregrid works great I have mine set at 5 by 5xxl-tablet. I mainly use just the week view but here's both. Puregrid is very customizable and a decent selection of skins, I'm rocking the ICS skin.

Hi guys, because in the S6 edge I can't order my apps alphabetically I gave Apex launcher a try...I quite like it, its better than touchwiz in a lot of ways. But...I cant find a way to have the S Planner widget running? It's one of the few Samsung widgets that I use all the time.
I know there are third party alternative's as I've tested a few, but I'd rather use the S Planner widget as I prefer it.
Is it possible to have this widget running on Apex launcher for our phones?
Thanks, Pete.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I'll have to go back to touchwiz and wait for a firmware update.
