Help large calendar widget

[mobius0322]

I'm sure this has been covered already but how/where would I find a widget that will fit-month view-on one of my screens?

 

[Thom]

Start the Calendar app - click icon in upper left corner - select Month

Tried that..won't work.I don't want just the icon just want to go to that screen with the calendar with month view.Droid Bionic

 

[Thom]

I'm confused by what you need.

The option I referenced sets the mode to Month. Every time you open the application from that point on will display Month mode. When displayed an up or down swipe on the calendar will change the month displayed.

If that isn't what you want you could try the Android Market, search on calendar and pick one that you like.

Thom, OP mentions wanting a WIDGET to show a full month.

I wanted that too and the only option I have found is the one that is included as part of Launcher Pro (paid version).

Business Calendar Free. Available in the market. It will do daily agenda, weekly view and monthly view in a widget up to 4x4. After you add the widget you have to go into the application and set up which calendars shw up in the widget

 

[Thom]

OK ... I use Fancy Widgets and have both portions of the Time on my home page launch Calendar app.

When I'm running go launcher ex I use the go calendar widget you can download from the market which can be set to show the month. I also use the transparency theme which is pretty sweet. Or if you long press your screen and select widgets there's one called date and time which will show the full month. You can also adjust the size of it to your liking, that's if you're running stock motoblur.

Thanks Thom the one on the right is what I was looking for..the others are good as well.Just wanted to scroll to that screen and see that calendar.

Now if you don't mind me asking how you got the calendar on the right?all I see on the clock market are clock skins??

 

[Thom]

I guess I was mumbling ...

This is the standard Calendar app found on all Bionics.

Load the Calendar app
Click on the icon in the upper left corner of the Calendar app (it has a little down pointing triangle under it)
Select Month
Select the Home button at the bottom of the screen

Now every time you load the Calender app it will open in the Month format.

When you reload the Bionic it will set the starting display option for the Calendar to whatever it was set to just before the reload.

[mobius0322]

Ok..that's not working either.I must have something wrong or doing somthing wrong,i don't know how else I can explain what I was looking for?

 

[Thom]

Did you load the Calendar app?

... Thom

 

[mobius0322]

yes..went to blank screen long pressed and chose calendar widget.All I get is an agenda view.

Look in the market for Pure Grid Calendar Widget.

Open the App menu (select the right most icon on the bottom of the screen shaped like a square with a box around it).
In the All apps section find Calendar
Hold the icon down until a menu appears and select Add to Home
Position the icon wherever you want it on the Home screen

Click th Calendar icon on your home and that loads the Calendar app
Click on the icon in the upper left corner of the Calendar app (it has a little down pointing triangle under it)
Select Month
Select the Home button at the bottom of the screen

Now every time you load the Calender app it will open in the Month format.

When you reload the Bionic it will set the starting display option for the Calendar to whatever it was set to just before the reload.

Downloaded that one,it's ok but small.I like the stock calendar it's a little bigger,but thanks anyway.

 

[desmofan]

I use Pure Calendar Widget. You can set it to month view, and can size it up to 4x4.

LOL..ok-Thom No disrespect I know you know more about this phone than I do,but I have figured out enough to root my Bionic(Rooted and running go-launcher)I know what the App menu icon looks like.What you are telling me to do Here puts the calendar icon on a home screen and when I tap the icon the Month calendar comes up-not what I want exactly by the way-I want the month calendar on the home screen(not the calendar icon)the size of the whole home screen.Again no disrespect.Thanks

 

[Thom]

The clarifications are pretty important.

Since you are using GO Launcher use one of the many solutions that it has to offer.

Jorte Calendar widget is my favorite. You can select the widget size that will cover the whole screen.

 

[rdsok]

Both Business Calendar as well as Jorte have widgets that can show either the whole month on a screen or an agenda... Both are customisable to some degree or other for what or how the info is presented.

I selected Jorte over Business Calendar simply because it had a look I liked slightly more than the other... I suspect either would suit most people that are looking for this type of util.

The Pure Grid Calendar has 9 different widgets you can chose for a phone and 2 for tablets. I use one that covers my full screen.

Sounds like Jorte, except Jorte is free.

They are similar. I don't recall why I went with the Pure Grid, it's been over a year maybe two.
