[MOD] Google Calendar with Textview (month) - 31.05. Update

Guys, although the Nexus 7 and the GNx have almost the same screen resolution, the N7 shows events in Textview whereas the GNx shows only small lines for an event, so I modded the Stock-JellyBean-Calendar for my GNx as you can see in the attached screenshot or here at directupload:

For any ROM out there I recommend using the latest market version of the calendar, as this is bug fixed by Google.
But which version you take is your own choice, both work perfectly on all JB-ROMs (4.1/4.2) including AOSP, AOKP, CM10, TWRP...
Just flash the zip from CWM, but do a nandroid before (for your own security).

Update 07.11.2013:

- maintaining the newest version here:

Update 31.05.2013:

- Updated to new market version (v 201305280)
- CWM package

Update 13.12.2012:

- Updated to new market version (v 201212060)
- Lockscreen Widget for 4.2
- New event picker in month view (long press)

Just flash in CWM. If you encounter errors, please uninstall any previous calendar with Titanium Backup and try a new flash. The problems with my old mod were signing problems, sorry for that.

Update 16.11.2012:

- Updated to new market version (v 201210220)
- according to Google, the battery consumption should be lower

- If you don't see the calendar after flashing, please flash the first market version first, reboot, then flash the new version.
Thanks to Finner42 for this idea, see here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34591851&postcount=64

AOSP 4.1.2 Calendar: http://ul.to/53ih6ior


Differences between the stock 4.1.2 and the market calendar:
The market version syncs back events up to one year, whereas stock calendar syncs back to 3 weeks only (standard android behaviour). To get synced one year when you had stock calendar before: you have to delete the data in -> settings -> apps for "Calendar" and "Calendar Provider" and sync again manually after that.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you have updated the calendar via market before, you have to uninstall this update before flashing, otherwise you will see nothing. Android prefers the .apk in /data/app over any system-apk in /system/app - that is a pretty normal behaviour.

Enjoy!

Additional Information:

Just a note as some people are unsure about GApps and CM10/AOKP. This is only important for people who like to know deeper. If you flash via CWM or are on Stock ROM, you don't have to worry about this:
In every official GApps (even the newest ones) are the old sync adapters from ICS which work with CM10 calendar (and have dark colors).
The market calendar and the stock-JB-calendar have its own sync adapter included, so you should delete GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk too, when you delete (CM10-) Calendar.apk
NEVER delete calenderprovider.apk, account information and the data is stored in there!
My modded calendar has an update script which cares for either situation, so that it can be used in CM10 and/or StockROMs.
Besides: Paranoid Android users don't need the modded calendar, as you may use tablet UI in market calendar for sure.

If you like to mod yourself, here are instructions for code changes:

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ROM-COOKERS:
Surely you may include this mod in your ROMs if you like it. I got a few PNs the last days but wasn't online here, sorry for that.
I got so much from xda and from other (real) developers, that it makes me happy if you consider this mod useful!

Added CWM flashable zip, should be easier for all of you.
Works on every JB-ROM, odexed and deodexed (AOSP, CM10...)

Please do a Nandroid before, just in case...!

According to the official Google changelog there is only a widget background change in 4.1.2, otherwise it's the same as 4.1.1

You have to modify "integers.xml" for the text size labels and "bools.xml" for general work of the new layout (in /res/values)
In addition, some things are hardcoded in /smali/com/android/calendar/month/MonthWeekEventsView.smali (text size of event time and the color squares)

In summary there's no real difference between those calendars. If I'm on 4.1.2 I will change this and update this post, in the meantime you can use the 4.1.1 with no loss of function.

[edit]
New 4.1.2 is online

I will update this thread in a few hours, am on mobile now.
New market calendar is already modded. If you can't wait get it here:

Thanks for this note. This is a normal behaviour in Android, I put an explanation in the first post.

Updated the opening post with the new market calendar!
Read the change between stock 4.1.2 and market version there.

Screenshot is attached in the 1st Post?!
Can't you see it?
