I know ~~simple~~ fossify apps are appreciated by the comminity. I have yet to try them. I like Etar as a calendar. It is also on FDroid

I just want a really good homescreen widget that shows a month view, and a widget that shows a task list I can check off as they're complete. Right now I'm using Business Calendar, but I'd switch to open source in a heartbeat if any of them offered this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Fossify has both of these widgets

Recently started using this synced with my Nextcloud. Really happy with it, only complaint is the fact that I can't remove their "Regular event" calendar

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It doesn't only sync with nextcloud, it syncs with every calDAV related system.

I... never said it only synced with Nextcloud? Or are you just providing additional information for people?

No worries, was just confused lol

May seem stupid, but after 15 min of using it I didn't find how to subscribe to an ical calendar nor how to sync to an existing calendar account, so basically how to use it. Also some things are weird like holidays being available only in one language in multilingual countries or distinctions between birthdays and anniversaries which I am not sure I understand

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can recommend you ICSx5 for ical subscription and DAVx5 for calendar synchronisation.

Yet I would agree, that a good calendar app should ship with these features.

Yes it does feel a bit incomplete

I love fossify calendar.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I've never seen a good Android calendar app. I think even Google Calendar is pretty bad. That's why I gave up and started using GNOME Calendar on my PC instead. Though now looking at the screenshots it seems like the Fossify one is actually good. Too bad I don't want to install one more app so it doesn't create a new line in my app drawer.

What are your requirements? I liked CalenGoo, I can live with aCalendar and BusinessCalendar.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

My requirements are proper Material 3 UI, simplicity and focus on the timeline/calendar itself.

You can hide icons with neo launcher

Using custom launchers without root on new Android versions causes mild stutters in gesture navigation.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Also, in MIUI/HyperOS it's simply not possible to have gesture navigation and a third party launcher.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Xiaomeme moment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Really?

I'm on an up to date grapheneos and have no issues.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Of course you won't notice it because you're on a flagship phone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've experienced this on pixel devices. I've found the solution is to force stop the pixel launcher when it happens.
