Sorry if this is something that's been answered else where, but I've been searching the last three days and haven't found an answer - it's the only big thorn in my side about my phone.
I've got my Vibrant set to sync with my Google Calendar, and my Exchange calendar. When I look at the appointments, they're colored based on which calendar they're coming from - that's awesome.
Except the colors are near impossible to see! My Exchange calendar is purple with black text, and the Google calendar is maroon with black text. I'd love to change it to something lighter so there is more contast and actually be able to see my appointments!
Anyone know if it's possible to do? Or is this something that I could fix/change if I go to the default Android Calendar app? Any help would be appreciated!
thanks!

You can change the color of the Google Calendar by logging into the calendar on a computer and changing it there. As for the Exchange Calendar, I expect it's similar but I don't use it so I'm not sure.

Yep, I knew about Gmail, and that one is okay, it's the Exchange one that really bugs me as it's the one I use all the time!
My exchange shows up as purple with black text too. I have tried removing various calendars. Removing and re-adding and the exchange is always purple with black text. It sucks.
You are lucky with purple, i have it dark navy, so with black text on it it's almost impossible to read.. i hate you samsung for that!
Yes, and for not being able to accept/decline any event request... looks like palin text email to me.. i hate you! Such a nice piece of hardware with such a crap firware in it
You can also an app for changing the calendar colors, just search for "slintes" in market.
Get Pocket Informant from the Market. You can change your Exchange calendar color & uninstall - the new color will persist.

The only thing I've found to work is to delete my exchange account and re-add. It cycles through different colors each time.

I've been searching for a simple solution to this annoying issue (with my MS Live calendar) and yours worked perfectly. Thanks!

any different ideas
People and Battery^^
I would really like a scrollable people widget like the android one. I know that the freelinks cover the most of it, but nevertheless a widget like this would be very eyecandy and handy, when you dont want to have all your contacts somewhere on an page. Would be very nice if someone would be able to develop this for winmo, even though it might be very hard to accomplish^^
Ah and before I forget it, a battery widget might be an idea, too. For example showing how long your battery will last in hours, how long in wifi etc.
Hope that something like this is possible

I'm looking for a full-screen calendar widget for CHT2 - anybody know of any?
Thanks in advance!
Question about an icon in my text message log... when viewing all of my messages there are two contacts names with an "x" in a circle (icon) on the far right side of the column. Anyone have any idea what this means? I googled it can't find anything...
By the way I'm using unamed 1.3 rom
I'm pretty sure you are looking at their google talk status.. You should also see green and red circles for friends who are signed into gtalk.. It's not an issue and I don't know how you would get rid of it if it bothered you..

Here's the thing... it doesn't do anything. Also... why wouldn't it show up on all the numbers? Neither one is on Google+ and the only other accounts I have are FB & Twitter and everyone in the message list is linked to both.
i'm pretty sure thats their google talk status. If they're signed out of gtalk, it will appear as grey or an 'x' (depending on the rom or theme you are running). I can't think of anything else it would be. As as test, look at their contact in your address book, it will probably have the same icon. If not, i'm at a loss as to what else it could be.

Thanks for the feedback! As stated above neither person has Google+... not only that Google+ does not sync with contacts in any way as far as I can tell.

you dont need google+. if you signed into google talk at least once on your phone, then that icon may appear. no google+ needed.
Gtalk and google+ I think are not the same. Gtalk is connected to your gmail account because everyone who uses gmail is on gtalk. So my guess is that you have their emails and they use Android or previously used gtalk/ email you through gmail. ~ my guess.

I dont think they are the same, but I dont know that for sure. However I have never even opend the app, so that eliminates that I think. I looked over the user manual, didnt find anything there... Im using unamed rom, I dont think its rom based.
Nope, not ROM based.. Ask those friends to sign into gtalk, their status (the grey circle) should then change as well.. I'm 100% positive it's gtalk related because I have grey, red, and green circles by many of my contacts.. I'm just not sure how it got picked up with certain contacts of yours if you say you never signed into gtalk on your phone..

Hi! Little problem here, an AT&T GSIII.
I'm using the stock email app to read my school email on Exchange. A few times, emails in my inbox are half-loaded and hitting "download more details" does nothing. But, if I forward the email, the copied email shows up perfectly. Like here, compare the inbox view and the forwarded view:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's not just that table; the entire rest of the email is blank in the inbox and completely there if I forward it. Does the stock app not work with Exchange? I did have to manually enter the settings...
Thanks in advance,
~Ibrahim~
I started a similar thread about ghost emails from a pop3 comcast account when using the tw native mail app -
No solution as of yet...
Weird...I'm gonna call Samsung later today.
Are you guys using power saving?
If so, I noticed the same issue, because power saving will try to turn your text to white, and your background to black for less power usage, however, it fails to change the background. So if you highlight the text are, you should be able to see the text. I just disabled that part of the power saving feature set.

He shoots and scores ! Thanks for the tip, it looks like power saving is the culprit..
Shnaps!! You're right!
Thank you for the tip!
~Ibrahim~
You guys are very welcome. It was something that I stumbled upon after trying to max out my battery life.
Also as a note, if anyone is interested, you can adjust the text color and background color of the email messages if you go to the menu while already in an email.
Oh! That's the issue, though. Even from within the email app, it changes the font color fine, but the background still doesn't change. Or is that just on mine?
backround
Mine does the same thing, exchanged and same result, must be a bug with Exchange and the email program!

Hi!
I'm using CM11 on my LG G2 and I have some problem with contact pictures. I've synced my phone contacts with my facebook contacts through Sync.me app and it did its job quite good, when i go to the people app and open the favorites tab all the pics are hq and looks really good. When I tap on persons pic and go to their profile it also looks good. But when I'm in list view almost every picture looks terrible, it's unsharp and kinda pixelated, the same goes with sms app.
Is there a way to fix it?
Anyone?

Thanks but I don't think it's sync.me app fault cause the same happens when I set contact picture from my phone storage.
This is what I mean
This is screenshot from stock contact app, the same is happening with sms app. Contact pic looks really bad and some of the pics are cut.

but at the same time in the favorite contacts tab in yahoo aviate the pic looks good
The reason I suggested that app is because I had found another forum thread with your same issue and that was the solution. Do with that information as you will.

Thanks for help, but it didn't work I't kinda annoying.
I think it might be apps fault (stock contacts and sms), cause in textra sms all the pics looks good.
I still couldn't fix this, can anyone help with this?
It's annoying, does anyone have the same problem? I tried different programs to sync contacts I even uploaded them manually and still nothing. Is it how it is on CM11 or there's something wrong with my phone?
Hello! Anyone know why Material You doesn't work in this device (I'm not sure if it doesn't work in general or this is the problem with my device)? The color accent of Google apps (Gboard, Calendar, Messages, Gmail) is always blue/turquoise no matter which wallpaper is setup. Material You worked like a charm in my previous device (GT Neo 2 updated to Android 12 / Realme UI 3.0) so the color accent changed every time when new wallpaper was chosen. Any ideas, what's wrong?
Same problem here.
For me the most Apps are Brown
So this update is garbage. All Google apps have weird colors. Google drive in piggy pink.
This is just rubbish and unfortunately not changeable.

Interesting, so it seems that your colour accent is default than mine. Is the color of the Google apps changing with wallpaper? Could you post a screenshot here?

@Meteorman so it's totally different than mine. Look at the screenshots, mine is kinda blue, and the colour is consistent between all Google apps

Could you change the wallpaper, remove Chrome from recent apps and then open it again (to reload app) and check if the accent has changed?

I close Chrome and the other Apps and change the wallpaper. When I change the wallpaper to a blueish picture it is normal this is my wallpaper I have before. When the Apps are a little Brown
I've just received an update to RMX3301_11_A.15 and it works as desired. I believe that we can close the thread.
Excellent news. Glad the update worked to resolve the issue.
For me the Apps are still Brown
