I'm not satisfied with the calendar in Galaxy S (is it Samsung's own or Android stock?). Often I need to login into Google Calendar on the web to be able to customize my appointments as I want.
This I miss:
1. Be able to choose what calendar which is the default one. Now "My calendar" is the default, I want one of my two Google calendars to be default.
2. I want to be able to specify "repeat rules" (not sure what the english term is) better. It's not possible to make an appointment appear every second monday for instance. But it's possible to do through Google calendar on the web.
3. Specify notification tone.
And I want to keep everything that does work, like multiple calendars and syncing to my Google account etc.
Hi. I use jorte, free in the market.
Give it a try

Jorte is the best, which is not to say it's great.
It also has the best widgets.
Others don't come anywhere close as calendars, although they might have nicer looking skins.
Jorte is very good. But for the widgets i like more agenda widgets. Looks much nicer and has better options.
Gemini Calendar is a nice and free (available in the market) app and has useful widgets, although I've not tried any others bar the original SGS app
Non of them are really good. They do have the functions I'm missing in the original calendar app, but the GUIs are just horrible.
Is it possible to switch the Samsung Calendar to original Android calendar? Or maybe HTC Calendar?

you can switch to stock calendar here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735035
note: you will have a big "plus" sign on the top of your screen which i find pretty annoying. i just switched to jorte based on opinions here but honestly i use agenda widget most of the time. it's great and scrollable with launcherpro and syncs to RTM tasks as well. love it.

Android agenda widget

For main calendar I really like Jorte.
Since it integrates with my google calendar, I can use any widget I want with it, which is good because I don't like Jorte's calendar widget.
For widgets I like both CalWidget and Android Agenda Widget
Smooth Calendar

Pure Grid Calender, it is very similar to sense, except you cant scroll from month to month. You have to click a button, but whatever. Also it cost money and is not a free app. But it also has more widget sizes than HTC Sense one.
Does anyone know of an app that will allow multiple widget instances or a widget view that isnt every calendar I sync with. I am looking for something that will allow me to view my personal calendar on one screen and other calendars I subscribe to in another. Month view is perferred if possible. Thanks in advance for any info.
Android Agenda Widget might be worth looking into. I don't have multiple calendars so I can't test it out but under the settings there is an option that says"Widget calendars independence - Have separate calendars for each widget"
Not sure if month view is possible.
Definitely going to second Android Agenda Widget. Takes a bit of time to setup, but you can customize it quite a bit and get it to look just the way you want. I currently have three of the widgets setup because I use several calendars and it works great. I'm also not sure about the monthly view, I know you can set how far ahead it "looks" and do a few other things to that extent, though I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for. Either way, definitely give it a shot, it's a great app!
Pure Calendar also allows you to select which calendars it displays
I use Android Agenda Widget, but I can't get any of my calendars besides (my email) and U.S. Holidays to show up. When I go to Google Calendar (the site, not the app), I have a Birthdays/Anniversaries calendar, in addition to a few sports calendar. How do I get those to show up as well?
Thx 4 all the input but the list view of all events is not quite what I was looking 4... visual week or month... something like what u might find n a paper planner is closer 2 the overall goal... did try it and I must say Android Agenda Widget was the best of its kind I saw... and 2 linkraceist

Tap that round settings button bottom, center of the widget/tap "calendars"/ and select "choose calendar"... that screen should fix u up

I have struggled to find a stand alone calendar for android. Jorte would be perfect except for one thing: I need repeat appointments (ex. every second Tuesday) which Jorte does not do. I've tried most others including Smooth Calendar, Ancal, Agenda Widget etc., and none of them seem to have this functionality without syncing with Google calendar or some other online calendar.
Anybody have any recommendations? Am I overlooking some alternative way of keeping a calendar without syncing? This is the one thing that is preventing me from totally going to android and ditching my WM OS.
I'm running Sagarom's super froyo ultralite.
Try emailing the jorte dev to ask for the functionality

I did that about 2 weeks ago and didn't receive a reply, but hopefully they got it and will implement it soon.
Seems every calendar I find is quite limited.
One thing in particular I want to be able to do is when I add an event, I on occasion want to be able to add it to multiple calendars.
Of course other things such as search the calendar; copy an entry; have longer reminder times to choose if I want.
Any suggestions on an app?
The calendar in launcher pro is very nice

I have that, and it is not a calendar replacement, just a widget to display from current calendar. Agree, it is nice.
Since posting a bit ago, I have found that I can use the Participants box to 'invite' my wife, and then she gets an email which she has to accept the invitation. That at least will accomplish that.
Regarding search, i have found a couple widgets that I could consider.
Just have to piece it together I guess.
I hate Touchwiz apps big time. S Planer is wack as f***, laggy and awfull to utilize. Is there a possibility to get rid of touchwiz apps and replace them by stock gingerbread apps (google calender, text messaging, etc.)?

yes you are absolutely right. Samsung calendar has an issue. It doesnt sync every entry on my google calendar.
+1 on getting back the original calendar
AFAIK, there is no standard AOSP calendar unless you want to tinker with hacked files and such.
I use Pocket Informant and it works very well. Cheap on the Amazon market and sometimes free.
did samsung rip the calendar totaly from the rom or is it makeable to make a shortcut to it?
i want to have something like the htc sense one.
the samsungs is awfull.
one of the reasons i bought a phone with such a big screen was, that i could see the whole week calendar with no scrolling.
first i tried Jorte as a calendar app..
now i found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.alxb.calendardroid
I am also considering on the pure grid calendar, but could not get the 5x5 widget on without distortion.
