I love fossify calendar.

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

No worries, was just confused lol

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.

You can hide icons with neo launcher

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

[–] vort3@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

Xiaomeme moment.

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

[–] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Really?

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

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Zykino@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Stomata@buddyverse.one 5 points 1 month ago

Fossify has both of these widgets

[–] VintageGenious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] dahpu@feddit.org 1 points 1 month 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.

[–] VintageGenious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Yes it does feel a bit incomplete
