Default Calendar wont open after Dexter 1.1 install

I installed the Dexter 1.1 mod and now I cant get my calendar open. I really need to get google calendar working on my A7 its one of the main reasons I purchased it. Any help for a newbie is welcomed.

Ok, yes I'm a noob! How do I get to the root explorer to change the name of the calendar app?

You first have to install Root Explorer.
It allows you to change permissions for your files so you can move, delete, rename, etc. them.
While in Root Explorer, you will see a button near the top that says, "Mount R/W"
That button switches between read-only and read-write permissions for the folder you are viewing. To change a file, you need to tap that button.
If it says, "Mount R/O," then you have permission to change files.
There is a good video on YouTube that shows how to use Root Explorer at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ChTvvmRR6Y
He actually demonstrates how to rename a file in the video.
So, in Root Explorer, navigate to /system/app folder.
Tap the "Mount R/W" button so it says "Mount R/O"
long press on calendar.apk and choose rename. Rename to calendar_old.apk.
Find the correct calendar.apk on your sd card, long press on it and choose copy.
Navigate back to /system/app folder.
tap on Paste.
Tap the "Mount R/O" button to lock your permissions.
You are done!

(Hopefully, Dexter will include the working calendar in his latest ROM)

Thank you I will give that a try tomorrow. I really appreciate all the work Dexter does. I must admit I haven't had much time to learn the Droid OS. Honstly I just want to know enough to install the Dexter updates and use my A7 for internet, mail and keep track of my rather large officiating schedule. Is there an easier to use calendar app that I could purchase? Honestly outside of MS Outlook I almost prefer a dayplanner type monthly calendar to anything I've seen or tried for iPhone Droid. I'd like a monthly view that you can see a few details in. Just simple I dont need a million functions outside of syncing with google cal. Any suggestions?
