I think Simple Calendar is what you want. Its just a widget though, not a calendar app. I am using Business Calendar and its pretty simple:

Thanks for stating which one this is. I LOVE Business Calendar now.

 

[Vic]

Yeah, Business Calendar is pretty nice.

 

[AndyD]

Yeah, Business Calendar is pretty nice.

I just wish the widget was more customizeable. I want to set colors of every element independently.

 

[Angst]

Try pure calendar widget, I think you can customise the pretty much anything with that.

Indeed. I'm using the Business Calendar Free + Pure Calendar combo and it does the job.

"This item cannot be installed in your device's country."

I am pretty sure it doesn't work on any custom rom. It don't wirk properly anyway. It counts the same order twice.

I have found an app call shiprack that does what I need. With google mail automatic forwarding, everything work seamlessly. Any email with "tracking number" in it will be forward to shiprack and it will figure out the tracking.

Hey, what is a good Twitter app? I'm using Plume but man I HATE the look and you have to tap like three times to get to links sometimes. Bleh. Need something that works with Tweetmarker though.

Boid Beta looks great. Tweetmarker support is coming very soon.

I'm wondering this too. The actual Twitter app's UI blows, IMO. Worse still is that Tweetdeck seems to be a resource hog. I've had less lockups and slowdown now that I've uninstalled Tweetdeck. It's a shame because I really liked Tweetdeck's UI and the widget.

Though I already use Beautiful Widgets, I have others installed. Sometimes I like to witch it up a bit.

Plume is the best. It's not great but it's the best out there. Right now, anyway.

Just tap and hold the tweet. It should pop up with the link.

I'm looking for a way to playback music through my receiver while using my phone to control the play list. Is it possible to stream audio from my phone over wifi to my receiver or PC (I have access to my music library through audiogalaxy) or is there a music app that I can run on my desktop that has a good client interface for Android?

Edit: well it looks like there's a bunch of the latter. Anyone have any recommendations for servers / clients?

 

[Salsa]

bought my phone back, yay

anyway, since im starting from scratch: has anyone used Link2SD? is there any advantage on using it if your phone is rooted? I mean does it copy the whole app to the external storage or what?

 

[Salsa]

update: Link2SD is a must if you have low internal memory. Basically copies everything but a shorcut to your SD, so you get tons of free space. Awesome.

 

[Mr_Zombie]

Did you find your old phone or buy a new one, similar to that old one?

update: Link2SD is a must if you have low internal memory. Basically copies everything but a shorcut to your SD, so you get tons of free space. Awesome.

Does it really copy the whole app or does it work like in Android 2.2+ where only a part of the app (sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller) is moved to SD?

 

[Salsa]

Bought the same one from an ebay-like site. It's clearly been used (I noticed one small dust particle under the screen (my previous phone got two in there, hah)), but it was cheaper and its in great condition.

Does it really copy the whole app or does it work like in Android 2.2+ where only a part of the app (sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller) is moved to SD?

Im not even entirely sure what it does, but I can say that it does NOT do the same thing as 2.2, this thing saves some massive space. I installed a ton of apps wich I had no way of installing before at the same time and my free space keeps being consistent.

What's even better, since the shorcut is still on the phone memory instead of the SD, you can use widgets just fine.

Hey GAF, are there any good alternatives to SMS Unread Count? I'm currently using it but I don't really like the red bubble thing and would much rather replace it a custom image. Doesn't have to show how many unread messages/missed calls there are, just that they are there. Ideally it would be something like the insanely crappy mockup below. Only less insanely crappy.

Is there an app or widget I could achieve this with?

 

[Salsa]

I use SMS Go for texting and it does its own thing with unread counts, but its pretty similar to the red bubble you mention..

 

[Salsa]

Also, have a quick question: how is there no Check-in widget for Foursquare? as in, a widget that basically consists of a check-in button that I just need to press to let friends know where I am

It's so simple..

I say it probably the best SMS app on the market!! I love the free themes.

This worked on my Nexus not the touch pad :-(

 

[womp]

Man, the new G+ update is horrible. I can't just scroll through my stream now because the big, USELESS 'Flipboard like', stretched and blurry thumbnail pics only allow 2-3 posts per screen and no post previews to boot.

This new update just isn't functional whatsoever. WTF Google? I do however like the side menu options when you tap on the stream icon and the hangout options are great.

Glad I backed it up before updating, time to downgrade. Total bummer. Sucker seemed to eat more battery power too. Needs some tweaking.

It moves all the app files that you want in the SD card and create a redirecting link (symbolic link) in place of where the files are supposed to be. The OS will open the files normally without knowing that they are stored elsewhere.

What happen if the app gets an update, does it go back to the memory?

 

[Vic]

I'm not really sure about how the process works when updating.

I would guess that the app that needs an update moves back to the internal memory then back again in the SD card.

Ditto, also a little miffed that none of the widgets are scaled for my note but that could be my fault for buying a massive phone lol

To hell with that, I have a Galaxy Note as well, greatest phone ever made, don't regret it for a second. I use the Go Weather live wallpaper and i looked at this and drool, but its a damn app only.

Weather Flow — from the people who made Cocktail Flow. 'nuff said.

Podkicker Pro — stunning new interface to match ICS. I switched over from pocket casts (and instacast on iPad).

A.I. Keyboard Plus (with the WP theme) — now my keyboard of choice.

Is there something like http://backloggery.com for android?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a Twitter app that can sync (unread tweets) with a PC Twitter client (Win).

I've discovered Tweet Marker, however, the only Windows client that supports that (Nymphicus) is just awful.

Not even Tweetdeck or Seesmic can do that.

Any other suggestion or I'm screwed?

 

[NaM]

Is there any decent app to handle profiles directly from the home screen in ICS? I really would like that since I need to change profiles a lot and I don't see anything from the market for 4.x :[

I am watching video and browsing GAF at the same time. So awesome.

I am astonished I can do this on a 3 year old HD2 (with Stickit video).

you think there's any chance that they implement something like this into MX video?

I've been looking too, but no luck. Worse thing is: Tweetdeck has you sign into an overarching account - for fucking waht? it's not as if it syncs anything.
