Hi guys,

I modded the Stock Google Calendar (v20130821) so that you can see the appointments with text instead of small bars.

Flash the attachment in your recovery and enjoy! :)

This works on odexed and deodexed stock ROMs, but although I tested it on my own N5, you may want to backup your system first for your convenience.

UPDATE: I don't own the N5 anymore, so I won't maintain this further.
Here is a How-To to mod the calendar yourself: click me.

Thanks! I was missing this. Those default color lines were pretty useless.

That's way how the calendar should display items. Thanks!
Is there any way to change the widget brackground from smoke grey to a haze white? Then of course the font for the dates have to be dark.

Solcalendar people.
What's wrong with the upgraded Google calendar? Sure the widget could be nicer. But i's 1.6 Mb vs 16 Mb. :silly:

Yes it is possible.
But I gave my N5 back to Google, so I won't update this mod anymore, sorry :)
When a new Play Store update arrives, I will mod again then, because I post only mods for devices I can check myself.

A bit off-topic but this caught my eye, what is that app/listings of all the TV shows for your calendar?
That were reminders that new episodes are available in Germany :D

FC on stock odex rom.
Any more input please. When? Why? Always? One time?
Maybe you can try to re-flash, wipe cache and Dalvik and/or delete app-data from the global settings menu.
The mod itself can't produce any FC's - I haven't changed anything in the program code but only some integers in .xml's and one smali file for the graphics.

It is error when I try install my nexus5.
Guess I'm using ART runtime. (No dalvic)
How to solve this problem?
I'm sorry to say that I can't help, I have no N5 anymore to test the calendar with ART.
But as the signatures of the mod are the same as the original calendar, there shouldn't be an app specific problem.

@wyrman: read the OP, thanks :)
@THE_KINGDOM: I returned the N5, because I wasn't satisfied at all. There were too many glitches which I don't want on my daily driver. Speaker quality, bad viewing angle on my LCD, notification LED did what it wanted but didn't notify me, phone wasn't always ringing, and so on...
Build quality was great, camera was good too, but for me there were too much odds at all.
