[Q] Apps for reminders and calenders aren't reliable! (SlimKat) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a custom ROM on my galaxy s3 (Slimkat) and I use a lot of reminder apps like Todo Reminder and Awoken. the problem is their reminders aren't reliable. sometimes there aren't any reminders a whole day in Todo Reminder, and when I open the app all the previous unopened reminders are popping up.
This is terrible! I can't rely on my reminders that it will surely be there. It's like the reminder apps don't open in the background. Maybe it's something with the task killer?
What do you think?

[Q] LauncherPro calendar widget with facebook events

Hey all,
I'm having a really annoying problem on my TB. Basically facebook events do not get removed from the calendar/agenda when you change from 'attending' to 'not attending' This is particularly annoying to me because I am trying to get rid of a multiple day event (may 4 through june 11) and it clutters every single day of my calendar/agenda. If anyone knows of a way to remove facebook events from the LP calendar/widget please let me know.
Thanks

I'm having the same issue... All my Facebook birthdays are showing in my Launcher Pro Calendar widget... it's so annoying because I can't easily find my real events and it's confusing.
Tried disabling the facebook calnedar from the calendar app on the phone, and still no luck...
Let me know if you resolve this..
Thanks!'

try removing it from gmail > calendar, and unsubscribe, since the calendar gets it from your gmail calendar
hopefully that helps

Calendar Snooze

Anyone else use the Calendar Snooze app? I seem to be having a problem where the app will not fire the reminder if I am using a yearly reminder on a 1 week notification. I only have a couple of these specific reminders set to yearly but it is important I don't forget them... Anniversary is a big one, a couple of important birthdays and my property taxes are a few of the examples I need that week lead up time to get stuff in the mail, LOL. And since Calendar Snooze completely takes over the calendar notifications I cannot simply turn those few exceptions back to stock.
I guess I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue.
Thanks
My phone is stock rooted.
Edit - Well I just tested it one more time for the hell of it and it worked so maybe it is just a little flaky or something. Makes me nervous to trust it though.

[Q] Managing notifications on multiple Android devices

Hi I've been searching for this for a while now but no luck...
So I have two Android phones, let's say one S2 and one S3, and both have the same Google account, same Facebook account, Instagram, etc, but each has a Sim from a different provider. So sometimes I want to have both with me, sometimes I want to have only the S2 and others only the S3.
The problem is that when I'm at home or have both with me I really don't need both to start going off about the same email or Facebook update, and disabling notifications for some of those apps in only one phone has to be done under Applications in Settings because they Sync notifications settings across the account (Facebook does this), anyways using this approach would be very time consuming every time you would want to switch the phone that gets notifications. Now Cyanogen is known to have the profiles menu that can group apps and I believe turn off notifications for groups of apps with one touch. But I'm running stock on both..
I wanted to know if there is an App out there that can do something like this, group apps and disable notifications for that group with one touch. It would be even better if let's say you were actually using one of the phones and it would automatically know this disable notifications on the other or even geofence your home so that you can set what phone or device actually goes off when you are at home.

[Q] Alarm/Reminder confusion?!

So we have
Reminders in Google Now,
Reminders in Google Keep,
Reminders in the Android Calendar App, and
Alarms in the Android Alarm app
They don't sync with each other in any way, so I have a 'wonderful' user experience if I want to cancel an alarm/reminder trying to remember where it was set, right?
And do the Now & Keep reminders even fire if I happen to be offline when they're supposed to remind me? Anyone had them fire when out of coverage of WiFi or cellular data?
