A mortscript that changes s2u2 wallpaper based on current weather condition. Now there is support for Weatherpanel, HTC Weather, and the original Yahoo feed (based on notiweather script)
FOR INFO ON ANIMATED WALLPAPERS, see post #4 (but if you don't have this installed already, finish reading this first post first!)
post #4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2182530#post2182530
I wanted a way to change the wallpaper of s2u2 wallaper based of the weather forecast.
Since Schettj has created such a fantastic script to user Userweather without a weather app (feed from yahoo), the easiest way for me to start was just build on this, so many thanks to schettj for building a fantastic script.
I have now added scripts for Weather Panel and HTC Weather support that doesn't require data connection. (except for the WP and HTC weather application update itself) Please note that since HTC weather does not autoupdate, there will be times of discrepancy between what htc weather shows and s2u2 wallpaper show. In other words, after you manually update HTC weather, s2u2 wallpaper won't reflect this until the next time the script is scheduled to run (which depends on delayhour variable). This is why I was never crazy about writing a version for HTC weather. For weatherpanel version it is best that you set weatherpanel application to update more often or same as the WeatherWallpaperWP.mscr script.
Create a folder that have 48 wallpapers in jpg from 0.jpg, 1.jpg...47.jpg corresponding to the different weather forecast icons. Or use one of the wallpaper set I have below.

Sample Customizations
1. Also, to display current , high and lo temp in notiweather change the weather line to this:
weather="C|"&code&"| "&temp&"º H"&hitemp&"º\L"&lotemp&"º"
There should be about 5 or 6 spaces between &code&"| and ", but I don't know why it is not displayed correctly.
(Edit: Current version implements this already)
2. I believe animated gifs would be possible if you change the part in bold again above from ".jpg" to ".gif" and fill the folder full of gifs.
(Edit: On current version, just change the wallpapertype variable at the top to = ".gif" instead of ".jpg", make sure to include quotes)
Update: WeatherWallpaper0.36 now also has version for Manila2D Weather (look for the Weather_WallpaperM2D0.35.mscr script). See the replies below for "u" version.
Update: WeatherWallpaper v0.36 (yahoo only): line 176 fixed with missing ")"
Update: WeatherWallpaper v 0.35 and .35u
A slight modification to the script that will hopefully fix some of the refresh issues. I have ran this for a week and have not encountered coming out of standby without S2U2 lock screen coming up. Please let me know how it goes for you. I also have made a new naming convention. The "u" version refers to the version of the script which will display Last Updated time (like the old v.33). Again, this "u" version will be posted on the third post like before. Thanks goes out to Holmann.
Update: WeatherWallpaper v0.33
I also made a version of WeatherWallpaper for HTC, Yahoo, and Weather Panel that displays the last updated time (version .33). This can be found on the third post on this page. If you don't want the last updated time displayed, then use the version on this first post. Update v.33b: got rid of the extra 0 bug ie 007:30
Update: WeatherWallpaper v 0.32
- don't use v.31, there's a bug. Please use v0.32 for WP only.
Update: WeatherWallpaper v 0.31
- small bugfix. on WP version only, at night slide forecast may display -9999
UPDATE: WeatherWallpaper version 0.3
- contains updated versions for Weatherpanel and Yahoo. HTC version is unchanged.
- updated versions for WP and Yahoo now has a new variable slideforecast:
slideforecast=0 (default) no change to slide2unlock text
slideforecast=1 slide2unlock text will display daily forecast (match lower left icon if s2u2 weather is set to userweather)
slideforecast=2 slide2unlock text will display current condition (match wallpaper)
Please note this feature is for S2U2 v 1.02 or higher (preferably 1.05 or higher). Do not change the slideforecast variable if you are running v 1.01 or less.
Please note if you change slideforecast to 1 or 2 and then decide to change back to 0, the display will not automatically revert back to whatever it is you have ( ie "slide to unlock"). You will have to change it back your self using this utility by l3v5y or through registry edit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2264560&postcount=923
WeatherWallpaper version 0.2:
- Now contains three scripts, WeatherWallpaperYah0.2.mscr (for standalone use getting weather data from yahoo feed), WeatherWallpaperWP0.2.mscr (for WeatherPanel), and WeatherWallpaperHTC0.2.mscr (for HTC Weather). You only need one of these scripts!
- Two new user settings at the top of the script:
# folder containing your weather wallpaper
wallpaperfolder = "\storage card\my documents\download\wallpaper\weather\"
# wallpaper type jpg or gif
wallpapertype= ".jpg"
- Display is now set at Current temp followed by High and Low temp, but only if you select Userweather in S2U2. For example:
80º H86º\L71º
- Also, it now only writes into registry and "update" s2u2 if the current condition has changed, avoiding too many s2u2 updates, which can cause some delay in s2u2 sometimes.
- Please note that the wallpaper by default is based on current condition (ccode) while the lower left icon is based on forecast (code), so it may not be the same sometimes. i did this on purpose because, with current conditions, the wallpaper will change more often, like 3-4 times a day, giving it a nicer effect. If it was forecast it would chnage like 1-2 times a day.
PocketWeather users: rifraf1 has written a script that supposedly works with PocketWeather. However, I will not be supporting this since I don't have PW installed, but feel free to try. See this link. Thanks rifraf1!!

Wallpaper Update
There are now three sets of wallpaper to choose from. My original vision was to use natural appearing wallpapers that shows the weather forecast. Obviously it has been hard to find for all 47 situations. I have about 10 or so and have filled up the remainder using Bliss Alive for WAD from Doreen at Lakeridgesoftware.com forum. This is now called Wallpaper MyCombo0.3.zip.
It appears that some or most of your would rather us use a more related computerized graphic set, so i have also included the complete set I made from Bliss Alive from Doreen. This is called Wallpaper Bliss Alive.zip. See pics from post #6 below.
Update 5-27-2008: Bliss Alive 0.3 is posted. Cleaned up the graphics for nicer look on PPC.
There is a third set which is a modification of Bliss Alive made by Bob_55 from SBSH forum. This is called samurize.zip. See post #5.
You can mix or match the jpgs.
Still waiting for someone to step up and provide a complete set of animated gifs. I have seen some but not enough to make a set.
Installation
1. download one of the wallpaper set below and extract and place in any folder you like.
2. install mortscript 4.1, and s2u2 at least v 1.01
3. download WeatherWallpaper0.2.zip and extract the three mscr files: WeatherWallpaperYah0.2.mscr (for standalone use getting weather data from yahoo feed), WeatherWallpaperWP0.2.mscr (for WeatherPanel), and WeatherWallpaperHTC0.2.mscr (for HTC Weather). You only need one of these!!
4. edit the .mscr file of your choice with Notepad on PC and change the following data:
wallpaperfolder (where your weather wallpapers are located from #1 above)
wallpapertype (jpg or gif, leave as ".jpg" if using any wallpaper set from here)
For Weathepanel and Yahoo versions only also change:
units (f or c, fahrenheit or celsius)
location (where you are located, see http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/ on finding your location)
delayhours (how often you want it to update)
5. save this mortscript and transfer to ppc in \windows\startup\
6. tap to run it or soft reset. you should see data activity (in yahoo version)
7. see links for notiweather and or s2u2 for further details
Troubleshooting
There appears to be issues arising espceially when using custom Roms or foreign language users. this script was written under the presumption that s2u2 was installed in standard location as well as weatherpanel (if you are using that). If you are having these issues try these two helpful posts:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2271849&postcount=139
If you are using the latest Mortscript 4.11b you may have issues as well. Or you unit may be looking to connect to "Internet" instead of "The Internet". Look at this post:

If you cannot get the forecast to show on the slider (and the registry info is correct), see this thread (thanks Holman):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2547257#post2547257
Thanks:
Schettj for original notiweather script
alanlsmith for the WP script version. His original version is on page 4 of this thread.
toniolol for help with HTC weather script
here are wallpapers i have so far (taken from pocketpcscreens.com)
2nd to last pic is screenshot including forecast on slide bar (optional)
in last pic, screenshot shows slide bar removed altogether leaving only forecast/summary
see this link for how:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2314286&postcount=212
I also made a version of WeatherWallpaper for HTC, Manila2D, Yahoo, and Weather Panel that displays the last updated time (version .33). On the WP version only, there is a humidity variable now. However, if you use this humidity or make any changes to how the data is displayed, then you need to change this appropriately (WP only):
oldmax =SubStr(curweather,-23,2)
oldmin =SubStr(curweather,-18,2)
If you don't know what I mean by this, then i recommend you change this:
If ( maxtempf = -9999)
maxtempf = oldmax
maxtemp = oldmax
EndIf
#
If ( mintempf = -9999)
mintempf = oldmin
mintemp = oldmin
EndIf
change oldmin and oldmax both to "--"
Update: v.36u now also has script for Manila2D (Weather_WallpaperM2D0.35u.mscr)
Update v.36u: changes made to Yahoo version only. fixed line 176 with missing ")"
Update v.35u: fixes some refresh issues
Update v.33b: got rid of the extra 0 bug ie 007:30
If you want 12hr format instead of 24hr then see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2521007#post2521007
If you don't want the last updated time displayed, then use the version on the first post above.
Animated Wallpapers
You asked for it, you're gonna get it! ANIMATED WALLPAPERS.
Since Rumball made the great set of animated weather Diamond icons for WeatherPanel, he has given me permission to do a set of animated wallpapers based on his work. These take a long time (I can see now why he asked for donation...he deserves it).
I plan on making a modified set which has shorter animation. The advantage besieds being less time consuming for me is that it is smaller in size and doesn't weigh down the device too much on resources to run. Also, I picked part of the animation which will allow it to run continuosly without the appearance of a break or pause.
I believe Rumball will also try to do a set which will have the full animation like his icon set so look out for that as well.
THE SET IS NOW COMPLETE!!! It was a lot harder than I thought but everyone's inspiration has fueled me on!
These are for QVGA only.
Instructions:
Download WeatherWallpaperAnimated1.0.zip and extra the content onto the folder which contain your weather wallpaper.
On your script, change wallpapertype= ".gif"
(default is ".jpg")
Soft reset.
Download:
http://rapidshare.com/files/137140922/WeatherWallpaperAnimated1.0.zip.html
Lastly, I don't know how to upload animated gifs for preview...probably need imageshack account or something. If anybody can do that, I can post the link here.
[/
i will put more wallpaper here:
samples of the remainder of the wallpapers based on Bob_55 modification which is based on Vista Alive WAD theme from Doreen. This is called samurize. It is not a full size wallpaper!
and hopefully more wallpapers here:
here are wallpapers based on Bliss Alive WAD theme made by Doreen from lakeridgesoftware.com forum.
other possible wallpapers we can use:
Nice work, gif animations would be awesome!
Nice work!!! I knew that this would be a good idea. Way to run with it! This looks awesome.
Please, add support for HTC Home Weather!
Idea is GREAT!
Nice work!
lol if i put it on my wizard it would scream at me for overloading it.
great work tho.
This is a very cool idea
But I'd like to second : Please make it work with HTC-weather and pretty please make it gif-compatibel...
If we can get animations, I have a lot of animated weather wallpapers, so I could help with that part

better yet try it yourself. fill the folder full of gifs and change the path to ".gif" instead of ".jpg" in the area I bolded on my first post.
to display current , high and lo temp in notiweather change the weather line to this:
weather="C|"&code&"| "&temp&"º H"&hitemp&"º\L"&lotemp&"º"
there should be about 5 or 6 spaces between | and " after &code&

To make this work with HTC weather or weatherpanel, etc. I need to know where A_C finds that data..I haven't a clue.
you could look at the creator of "vista alive" WAD. It has a wallpaper for every instance of weather conditions. Im sure she would give permissions to use it for this applicaton

I checked that out. Pretty cool!! But I think the look I am going for with this a more natural real life picture for a wallpaper. I don't want it to be too obvious that the wallpaper reflects the weather forecast, and i think the computerized graphic pcitures give it that impression. Looks nice, but not necessarily the look i am going for. On the other hand, it may be good for filler jpgs for forecast I don't already have.

If you are interested here is a script I wrote, originally inspired by Notiweather, which will display data from Weather Panel on the S2U2 screen & could be modified in the same way to change the S2U2 wallpaper.
It uses the 'current', 'hourly' & 'forecast' files in the Weather Panel data folder to get the information according to the time since the last Weather Panel update, so, what it shows should always match Weather Panel itself & can display the current as well as forecast temperatures.
You can choose what is shown on the S2U2 screen, see the end of the script for examples and change the fourth line from the end of the script weather="C|"&code&"|"&display6 to display1, display2 etc, it'll make sense when you look at the script. Oh! & change location_code at the start of the script to you chosen location.

oh wow. a configuration tool to go long with it? icontact is just getting better and better.
thanks
A bunch of questions for me from supbro's thread:
zoro007 said:
Herewith the screenshot.
I've changed in icontact.h the font size to 40.
I also changed the item height and some other items.(don't remember)
Hope you can help me make a VGA version .
Thanks anyway !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Item Details are drawn in DrawItemDetailsOn function inside iContact.cpp file. Action name (Mobile, Email, etc) has a fixed width of 39 pixels, text is right-aligned within this width, so its left side goes off the screen. So huge rework is required to properly support VGA mode. Maybe one day I will put my hands on it...
kwickone said:
When I hit the keyboard icon (far right) to bring up the alphabet, if I hit a letter, the scroll list of names jumps to that letter....great...however, now if I use the D-pad up/down buttons to move down in that letter, it jumps back to the previous location. Hopefully that makes sense. Before I could use the D-Pad buttons and it would stay in the letter that I just jumped to.

Yep, thanks for report! The fix will be included in the next release.
also this icontact is much slower that supbros.
but i gues its because it can do more. kind of like pocketcm.
oh well i like it so im keeping it.
Well this is what happens when you open source an app..it just keeps getting better and better..too bad its not for WM 2003 users ( currently one of them )

Could you please also describe what actions are slower exactly?
I'll try to improve the performance.
burt. your version is AMAZING.. i don't think i could've asked for anything more.
thanks dude.
if i were you.. (or supbro), i'd gather up and go commercial once you finish correcting whatever you have left. (if you have anything to correct).

that is obviously true for every other app in the market.
that's the challenge. you have to keep it so good so that people will want to buy it.
.. just my opinion on the subject.
I seem to have a little buggette -
If I minimize the app in Favourites view, when I restore it, switch to main view and try to use the grid, it freezes. I can only unfreeze it by closing it.

Truly an amazing addition to an already fantastic app. Nice job!
Hmm gonna try this one out! tnx!
Two bugs I've found so far and it seems to affect both your version and supware.net's version too.
When clicking on Favourite it hangs the phone for about 8 seconds. When clicking on Recent calls it hangs the phone for 5 seconds and the icon for the A-Z disappears (reappears again if you click the middle icon).
Feature request. There is no separation of call types (incoming, outgoing and missed). You have to go into each entry to find out what type it is.
Is there any way of having a colored icon on the entry so we can tell quickly what type it is?
Bug in contact details?
Switched to contact details on this version will produce contact info plus many blank lines where there is not supposed to have any lines. Previous be4.0 does not have this problem.
Feature Request
Option to bring up keyboard automatically when started if on the opening screen (I always use that to get to the letter of the person I want to call or lookup).
Great work!
Question \ Feature Request
Is there a way to make iContacts start in Favorites? I call my favorites more than anyone else. I currently have to take an extra step to get to them now, as the application starts in the general contacts list....
If it can't be done currently, could you please add that feature?
Thanks.

On ssj5trunks' (the developer of Androkkid) request, I 'm opening a thread for widget for this great program.
The Androkkid comes with these widgets:

wmdirk has supplied a widget library to facilitate the development of widgets, version 1.4, Dec. 26, 2009: http://sites.google.com/site/wmdsoft/wmd-androkkid-lib
After talking to wmdirk (and because I no longer use Androkkid), I've decided to change this first post. wmdirk's widgets will not be updated here but on his webpage http://sites.google.com/site/wmdsoft/home. He seems to be the only one currently making widgets for Androkkid, and he is very successful in doing so. But some of the widgets are not free, and I didn't want to mix the free and the commercially available in one list. However, this thread will still be used by wmdirk to answer questions regarding his widgets, and to announce new ones.
Other widgets that have to be installed separately (I'll try to keep this updated and with the newest first):
This is a list of wmdirk's widgets: some of them free http://sites.google.com/site/wmdsoft/home

Installing:
Unzip the files to the Widget directory and Androkkid will automatically detect the widgets. Then holding on the desktop, click add, then widget, then select it, and ok and they should show up on the desktop.
Skinning:
The widgets can be skinned by changing the background image - bg.png in the gfx directory. However, it's important to keep the same size as the original, otherwise the font won't show well.
Perhaps I´m too stupid, but how do i install these widgets?
I had a look at the androkkid discussion, but don´t find a solution.....
Thanks for the help.

You should just unzip the files to the Widget directory and Androkkid will automatically detect it. Then holding on the desktop, click add, then widget, then select it, and ok.
The weather widget has a settings menu you can reach by clicking in the top half. Not all the settings have an effect yet. Clicking lower on the widget, should refresh, but I'm not sure that's working yet. Also I forgot to delete a debug message. Will try and upload a new version today.
Wether widget updated in first post (messages used for debug purposes have been removed).
Also updated information re installation and skinning.
+1 I look forward to see some more widgets. Your hard work is apperciated. thanks

yes, i agree! I am really looking forward to the buildout of a library of widgets. good job!
Here is a Weaher Widget I have been working on. I have beased it on Titanium Weather. I shoukd have it ready in a couple of days for some testing. It depends on how my time permits. I plan on having the next 4 days forecast in the empty area in the middle.
Very nice! Cant wait to preview.

Looks great - so much better than mine! And great that more people are making widgets!
looking forward to your weather widget goraps
Another preview.
Maybe ready in a few days. Just got to work on the update process.
Good job on the widgets!
Having problems finding information on how the widget interfaces with Androkkid and need some example code. A simple "Hello World" widget would be useful and would provide a springboard for creation of new widgets.
Failing that some source code of any developed widget to date.
Edit: Scratch that, just noticed some widget source code on the main site
Looking for the Weather code for London England and Bedford England which site are they on as I put in the Weather.com code for it and it crashed Androkkid
edit is it UKXX0014 for bedford and UKXX0085 for London ??

I'll try to have a new version of the weather widget with the source code later today, and I'll have some more error testing to try and prevent crashes.
It is important though to be connected to the internet when installing the weather widget or changing the location.
In order to test the weather codes, you can put the following in your browser's adress bar:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=UKXX0085
and it should give you the same weather forecast I'm using in the widget
hgWeather updated with source.
The weather is updated from the Yahoo RSS weather feed.
It will show the current and next day's forecast. You can add several widgets to use for several cities.
Installing:

Skinning:
Bacground (bg.bmp) can be changed as long as the size is the same.
Or the background can be transparent.
Font color and size can be changed.
Weather icons can be changed as long as the naming convention is the same. The included icons comes from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354111&page=180, post 1798
Additionally icons can be found here: http://pixel.dnsalias.net/weatherpanel/wiki/index.php/Weather_Icons
Clicking in the upper half will take you to the settings.
Clicking in the lower half will update the weather.
Most of the weather code comes from: http://www.cjcraft.com/blog/2008/06/19/30DaysOfNETWindowsMobileApplicationsDay18MobileWeather.aspx

It would be great if other people could improve on this widget.
I used the free developer tool Sharp Develop to compile the widget.
Just tried with weather code UKXX1730 it has updated and allows me to add to the page but i am only seeing the bottom half of the image you have provided plus if i change the temp to c instead of f it still shows farenheit temperature.
im not sure how others feel but ideally i would like to add a weather widget to my homescreen along with the clock and a row of priority icons or have a small icon sized image which when clicked on brings up full details

Are you using the version posted yesterday? Because with the latest version, when I change from f to c or opposite, it changes temperature. But you need to be connected to the internet when changing from temperature unit.
When you say only the bottom shows, what parts are showing? City? Current weather? Next day's forecast?
Sometimes you have to click several times before it properly updates from the internet.

Yes, that has been my goal too, but I'm having some problems with the forecast rss, so I'm giving it a rest for now. But the code is there so maybe someone else wants to give it a try? I would also like to have better support for different cities.
Otherwise, you could use the transparent version, set the color of the code to the same as the background, and then you would only see the icons.
If i have time i create the top bar widget to add TopBar in Android with widget and not in Androkkid directly.
Or if anyone want create it i think this is a good widget for all.
Bye
P.S.
I look for the problem of Menu for contact.
I test it in my diamond and when i try it work, i retest it.

Yes please do this would be cool!!!
OK. So I have finished the initial release of GORAPSWeather Widget for Androkkid. This is my first Androkkid Widget so please bare with me.
First all the credit to ssj5trunks for such a great app and the source code to the Hero Clock widget which I used as the code base for this widget.
Second thanks to Showaco for his Titanium Weather which I used as the weather base for this widget.
Note: This widget requires Mortscript.
Installation and Setup Instructions
1) Downlad and unpack GORAPSWeather.zip
2) Open GorapsWeather.mscr with a text editor and make the appropriate changes to the two variables: location and units.
- Change location to the accuweather.com location code for your location.
If you need to find your code go to www.accuweather.com/m and search for your city. Then you will see the location code in the URL. It will look something like NAM|CA|ON|MARKHAM.
- Change units to C or F.
3) Save your edited script.
4) Copy the GORAPSWeather folder to the Androkkid widgets folder on your phone.
5) Execute the click on the GorapsWeather.mscr in a file explorer to initialize the values. If you don't do this and add the widget it will crash Androkkid.
6) Add the widget to your Androkkid desktop. Clicking on the widget will update the weather data.
I hope you like it.
Now on market: Search for "MotoGP 2012 Schedule widget"
Hi Guys,
There must be a lot of MotoGP fans out there like me who want to stay in sync with the Race calendar through their android phones.
Searched on the market a lot for a light weight widget which shows upcoming race Found some good ones but then idea of creating my own widget for my phone came. It came out good hence decided to share it with others as well.
The screenshots and the apk are attached.
This widget doesn't connect to internet nor it accesses any resources on the phone.
It shows Race Date, Next Session (FP1, FP2, etc) and its timing converted to local timezone, Race Name, venue, etc.
How to use:
- Long press on an empty spot in your homescreen (preferably an empty screen itself since the widget is little big)
- Select 'Widgets'
- Select 'MotoGP Calendar Widget'
I tested this on HTC EVO 3D, Nexus One, HTC Incredible using Go Launcher and Default Sense.
Venturing for the first time into the world of android apps. Your suggestions, feedback, complaints are welcome though please be gentle on criticism
Disclaimer: All the images that are displayed are from the following link and I take no ownership of it: motogp.com/en/calendar+circuits
I am in no way connected to Dorna Sports or MotoGP nor working for them nor is this an official app.
PS: Hope I have posted this on the right section. If not my apologies in advance and please move this thread appropriately.
I've created an app to display the list of the next visible events of your agenda on your wear, it's a beta as I think I can improve it but I wanted to show it to you to have some feedback.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qhutch.agendawear
To sync your data with your watch you have to open the mobile app once or reboot your phone (so that the activity is called).
I've tested it on my LG G Watch and it's working but for now I haven't tested it in english, just in french so if there are problems in english just tell me.
The limits I've set is 50 events and 2 months max, but maybe later I will make a setting so that everyone can choose it.
That's it, test it, share it and give some feedback.
here are some screenshots, tell me how I could make it look better
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'll test it as soon as I get my LG G Watch !
And if it's in french, it's really nice
Will you add the possibility to add an event to a calendar directly from the watch or it's not in your plans ?

I'll try to add things that people want so if you really want that and if you're not the only one I'll try, but I don't think it can be easy to create an event on a watch

I was thinking to smething like this (for classes, for exemple):
On the phone, we can add all the types of events (homework, lesson, interrogation,..) and all our classes.
Then, when we want to add an event on the watch, we chose the date, then, we can select the type (homework) and what is relatited to (English).
I don't know if I was very clear, but I tried ^^

So you have some registred events on the phone and when you create a new event on the watch you just choose from one of them and select the date and the time ? I could do something like this but I'm gonna need time

Yes, it's exactly what I wanted to say !
The interface seems to be really great on the screenshots !
The only thing I would change is the color of the event, I would prefer it on the left side, like on all calendar app, but it's only a matter of taste

(I'll put it on the play store after I've made a new icon because I don't know if I have the rights to use this one)
EDIT : here are some screenshots, tell me how I could make it look better
(you can see the color of the calendar on the right side)
EDIT 2 : V1.1 should start service at boot and sync every 15 minutes
There's a bug that opens the app everytime the data is synced, i'll fix that as i'll be home from work

Nice app, downloaded it and tested and works fine, suggested enhancements will make it even better. My suggestion would be to add a small line separator between the days. Thanks
Problem with last version (1.1.1). App auto launch regularly on watch and stay on screen without user want it. It avoid the normal hour screen.

When exit the watch app and return to previous wear screen, the current card rectangle is resized (and distorted) to full screen without his original background.
(After update new version watch app crash ("Agenda weat s'est arrêté") until I select "Actualiser" on android app. After it works.)

The crash is normal because I changed the way it handles the data, but I really don't understand your bug with the distorded card, does it happen everytime you close the app ?

I see the same problem with another app when close. So it is an android wear problem.
Been testing this for a few days, and enjoying the functionality on my LG G Watch! I have a few suggestions and a couple bugs to report:
Suggestions:
- Add a line, or some kind of separation between each agenda item to clean up the list view
- Add a way to view more details (tap, swipe, something)
- remove the tap to count days... or make it clear off a little quicker...it kinda slows down the app's flow
- Add gesture method to quickly open the Agenda Wear on the watch...similar to how Mini Wear Launcher can be opened with a swipe from the upper left corner in watch face screen, add option to swipe (maybe from upper right, or bottom) to quickly open Agenda Wear
- Add logic to "hide", or not display, the previous day's agenda items when watch is unable to sync with the phone. I think I get it that the app can't sync when the phone is off or not in range. However, it should be fairly simple, using the watch's internal clock, to determine what day it is and adjust what each item shows (or doesn't show) as days pass by
- Date is currently shown in an international format (dd MMM), however, if possible either they should follow regional settings on watch/phone or should have selectable view to allow either dd MMM or MMM dd.
Bugs:
- the tap to count days gives incorrect count when "yesterday's" item(s) are showing. My phone's battery died, so Agenda Wear couldn't, understandably, refresh and stop showing the previous day's agenda items. It should say "Yesterday" or "x Day(s) Ago" but it shows "364 days ago" instead, as if it can't determine that yesterday is in the same year
- agenda items that start at 12PM are shown as "0:00 PM"
- agenda items coming from GMail's Holiday and Weather calendars are 1 day off. For example, today is Labor Day, Sept 1st in the US, however Agenda Wear is showing Labor Day as Sun Aug 31st. Same with my weather, the date is showing on Agenda Wear as Sunday Aug 31, while today is actually Monday Sept 1.

Thank you for you suggestions, I think I will make that the wear doesn't show past events, even if it doesn't sync with the phone.
It's in my intentions to remove the toast when click and replace it by a page with more info about the event, if I have enough time I will do it this week.
I tried to add a small separator but failed for the moment, because I'm using wearablelistview, but I'll keep trying.
I really don't know how to add a gesture to open the app, but I'll search.
I'll add a setting for the date format (MMM dd).
So midnight should be shown as 12PM ? And midday 12AM ? I'll do it.
I don't know why your items from holiday and weather calendars are shown 1 day off, but I'll search for it, (mine are showing fine so I don't really know, are those all day events ? does it the same with all day events you make on your own calendar ?)
Edit : on 12 hour time, is it good to better to show 9:00 AM or 9 AM ?
