I think you'll find that 'bumping' (reposting) is frowned upon on this site. If someone has an answer, they will reply.

Oh sorry, my bad. I didn't know that.
The biggest problem with most calendar apps is that they tie to your Google account on the device. Of course, nobody has been able to get Google sign-ins fully working on the NC. I would imagine once they get that figured out, the stock calendar and many 3rd party calendars will work.

Calendar app is sync 'd to my google account - it did it automatically after youtube and gmail were setup. I was looking for a better calendar app. Jorte is free and works great!

How to Sync Calendar
Easy - just go to your Gmail account setup. You will see a box for "Add New Account". Just add your GMail account again - YES, do this. You will then see a screen for syncing stuff - on it will be an option for syncing "Calendar" - check this.
Now you can sync Google Calendar on your PC with that on the Nook Color!
There's also a PC App for syncing your Google Calendar (on PC) with your Outlook Calendar.
I've been using a combination of [paid] "Puregrid Calendar" Widget and [free] "Synker" to keep my Gmail calendar sync'd with the Nook Color. It has a nice full month calendar widget on the home screen that I really like.
I wasn't aware there was any reliable to way to sync the Gmail calendar with the device, so I'll have to give the mentioned method a shot and see if I can maybe get rid of Synker (although I like being able to sync on demand with a device that isn't connected to the Internet 24/7).
SWEET
@Docfreed - thanks - I've been trying to figure this out for days!
Try Smooth Calendar in the Market.
Doc's fix worked. Thanks.
I use Calendar Pad. It has a couple widget sizes and modes... day, week, and month.
Cheers,
Rich

@Docfreed, Are you re-adding your gmail account in the gmail app? I get a pop-up:"Sync for this item is currently disabled. To change your preference, temporarily turn on background data and automatic sync" when I try and add my account again.
Meanwhile, synker seems to do the trick.

I had the same problem, got synker working as well but would love to not have to use it.
I tried going to gmail and adding account but got the same message as ehrune. Any help would be appreciated.
I am such a dork... can't remember anything anymore. I found another thread with a solution and I also found a semi solution that I actually posted myself. Geesh!
I posted this in December and didn't remember:
"My calendar wasn't working. I went to Calendar - menu - more - my calendar
Then I removed my calendar, added it back and voila! It populated."
A more permanent solution is in this thread:

Does anybody know a way to get the Calendar to sync with a Google Apps account? I tried to re-add the account but the option to sync with Google App still is not working.
weird bar at top of calendar
has anyone seen this weird blank bar at the top of their calendar?
anyone how to remove it? just FYI, i have my calendar syncing with google.
Trying "Business Calendar Beta & it doesn't do what I need. Specifically, it will not let me edit a single entry of a recurring event, nor can I move the same.
The calendar that has "10" on the icon has an artifact at the top of every screen. It looks like a text box, but does nothing except get in the way.
Jorte is limited, but looks OK & does most things, but will not color in the day of the event.
What I need:
Ability to add recurring events.
Ability to edit or move individual recurring events.
Highlight a day that has an event. (Color choice)
Be nice if event title had a history to choose from.
Most of these features are standard in Outlook Calendar, so I would hope they are not too much to ask for.
Anyone have other calendars for me to try?
Thanks,

Can you confirm that the Gmail calendar does everything you need it to do, and then just grab a Widget to give you a better view of the calendar?

I am currently trying Jorte for the calendar that displays on the desktop & when I select it, it uses Google Calendar. Took me a bit to understand what was happening, but I think I have something I can use.
Thanks.

Jorte was going to be my suggestion as well. Best calendar app I've found so far.
My vote goes to jorte

I personally REALLY like Touch Calendar. Boost up the zoom level and the font size and it looks great on the Nook Color. However, it's basically just a really nice overview, it still uses the built-in calendar app to add, edit, view the specific event etc..
2 thumbs up for Jorte also!
I'm not having any luck getting Jorte to sync with my Google Calendar. I've checked and re-checked the settings which seemed to be defined correctly but it won't sync. If I manually select an import from Google it shows "import complete" immediately but the data doesn't populate. Is anyone else using this successfully?

Well no, now that I look at it the regular calendar isn't syncing either. Not sure what broke that but I've spent the past 45 mins or so trying to figure it out without any luck. I'll look at it again a bit later.

You need to re-sync your calendar. I had the same problem. Trying to find the exact fix right now. Sit tight.
Sorry for the wait. I'm at work and got called away to deal with something.
Here you go. Credit where credit is due; give doc the props.
Now, I do have a question of my own about Jorte. I find the text quite blurry, at least on the 2x4 weekly calendar. I see that you can replace it with a font of your choosing. Will this fix the fuzzy text, or is that a symptom of it being used to a smaller screen? If that wont fix it, does anyone know of something that will?
Secondly, (and this is not very important) is there a way to add "padding" to the edge of the widget? I want it to reside in the top left of my screen, but it clings directly to the side of my screen if I do this with 0 pixles between the edge of the calendar and the edge of the screen. It's no big deal but I'd prefer a bit of padding to keep it consistent with the rest of my screen's layout. Can I force it to move to the center of the widget space somehow, instead of being left justified? I can post a screencap if I am being unclear.
Are you re-adding your gmail account in the gmail app? I get a pop-up:"Sync for this item is currently disabled. To change your preference, temporarily turn on background data and automatic sync" when I try and add my account again.
Also, I set the widget and line transparency to "not transparent" in the Jorte 5x5 widget, and the font size to "Large", and that cleaned up most of the fuzziness.

Does anyone know of any apps that can sync two Exchange accounts at the same time? I need them both to be active at the same time also. The stock app can do this and I have it setup this way but it lacks features that I would like to have. I have looked at Touchdown and it is a really nice app that has all that I would like and it allows more than one profile but you can only have one active at a time.
I have the same issues, so I use 1 touchdown and 1 using the built in.

Thanks. I thought about that but then I only gain the features I need on one account and not both. I actually tried that for a day or two and it was not going to work for me. It would also be nice to see both calendars together as I do now.
I use the android agenda widget which can combine multiple calendars

Thanks again! I downloaded that widget and it works great for what I need. I may rethink using Touchdown for one of my accounts.
Hi All,
I finally flashed a few ROMs today and liking how it is going (exchange works!). I like the way the calendar displays on Synergy (shows the daily appointments without me having to press anything) - whereas the latest Th3oryrom shows me a 30 day calendar and i have to press the day to show the appointments (agenda view).
Is there a way to show the agenda view first? I'd like to keep trying a few more ROMs, but i really like the way Synergy shows it.
Thanks in advance!

I do this, but it doesn't show anything different (using the HTC calendar). It was already set this way - one click on the calendar heading and it goes to agenda view. I just want agenda view to be on the main screen - not the 30 day view.
Calendar, menu, more, calendars make sure exchange is checked if you want an exchange calendar to sync.
Also check the colanders syncing in your accounts.
I use HTC and it syncs with my Google. Use calendar 2/3 for your whole day by day agenda. Make sure to select it as widget.

I follow these instructions to the letter, but I can't get it to show the agenda view as the main widget screen. I appreciate the effort, but maybe my phone is messed or it can't be done the way i want it. I can provide screen caps if needed I suppose, but i'd have to reflash synergy just to get it. Thanks again!

Maybe i went about this the wrong way.... is there a "calendar 2/3" widget that is supposed be showing up in my widget options (not that i see one there)?
I have just bought the new Samsung Galaxy S3 in the UK and loving the phone so far, coming from the HTC Desire so quite a big jump ins size and spec ways.
One small problem, I'm having so far is I have added the Google Calendar widget to one of the home screens but when I tap on the widget it doesn't launch the calendar app. When I had the desire, if I clicked on the top of the calendar it would launch the calendar on the current day and if I tapped on one of the appointments the calendar would open up on the day for that appointment, but neither of these are working.
I also can't find the calendar app within the app drawer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks this worked, I disabled the S-Planner as I thought this was Samsung's own bloatware app. This isn't the default google calendar app though which I prefer, is there a way to disable the S-Planner and use the genuine Google Calendar App. It seems a bit strange to me that samsung have replaced the google calendar with their own version. Not to keen on S-planner
Thanks
I have the same question, is it possible to replace s-planner with google calendar app?
