I've been running CM10 and AOKP ROMs for pretty much my entire time on Nexus4/mako, as well as my other devices (T989 Hercules/Vibrant). My only complaint has been that the calendar app isn't very useful in 'monthly' mode.
I figured this was something to do with Google and just put it out of my mind, until the other day I flashed Slimbean+Slimgapps on my phone. All of a sudden, my monthly calendar looked a lot better. In Slimbean, I could actually read the text of the events (usually with ellipsis) in monthly mode instead of it being little colored rectangles (AOKP). Both, I think, are 4.2.2 based, so it leads me to the question:
What is the difference between the Slimbean and AOKP, as related to the Google Calendar app, and is there a way to get the better calendar in AOKP?
- I've tried downloading the calendar app (google) in the play store and that did not work.
- Titanium backup shows a calendar app at the system level on both devices that looks like it should not be removed. They appear to be named differently. the CM10/AOKP one is authored by sethyx. Maybe this is something left unmerged from some later version of CM? Or maybe its carried over from CM somehow?
At any rate, I am trying to figure out where the issue lies so I can either fix it or politely point it out to whoever might be able to make the change, since I can't imagine any reason not to make the switch.
