BY FAR the Best Calendar App I've Found Yet! Jorte!

■How to configure holidays

Opening window [Menu]-[Option]-[Acquisition And Delete Holidays], select Japan and [Aquisition] button, then start to download holiday data. (from Google Calender by way of internet)

* At this time, holidays are shown in Google Calender on the web. It may causes confusion, so it is under consideration to fix it.

One thing I cant seem to do is make change the time when trying to creat an event in Jorte. I cant change the "1" or "2" in the 12:00 time to be able to change it to say 3:30. Anyone else have that problem ?. ( I am using a EVO)

 

[meyerweb#CB]

I can change the "1" to "0" and back to "1," which are the only valid values. I have no problem changing the "2" to anything that's a valid time. I can't set it to "00" or "13", but "09" and "11" are fine.

FYI, there's an update to Jorte today that adds more calendar styles. In playing around with it, I've found more things to like. Definitely the best I've found so far for Android, if not the equal of Datebk6 on the PalmOS.

I'm happy with "Cal Widget". That's the best I've seen so far. All the customizations are nice.

i love this -

"Personal organizer must be practical. And it must be good appearance." You may well think these when you look for personal organizer in stationery shop.

There have never been more practical schedule management application in mobile terminal than paper organizer.

This personal organizer application "Jorte" is pursued to have a look and feel of real paper personal organizer, design to be both good appearance and practical use.

We think practical use as primary thing. Once you touch this application, You would feel "Oh, I want to use this!"

The developer's Japanese. His English is probably a whole lot better than your Nippon.

no shiit. i wasn't making fun of the developer's English. i have the utmost respect for him given the great free software he produces. my point was that i love the methodology and mission behind creating the software. to model it after a paper calendar you'd find in a stationary store - only better.

It will still synch with your Outlook. Once you select the Google synch, you can view all of the other calendars you have (Oulook, Google, Exchange, etc). They only tell you that because it needs to connect with the Google one to allow you to see the rest. In the options, you can filter all of the other calendars out that you do not need by unchecking them.

This app does not replace the built in one, it reads from the same calendar file that is on your phone currently. If you add an appointment in Jorte and then open your built in calendar that came with your phone, you'll see that entry. It's not really a "synch".


EDIT: Once you install Jorte and tell it to synch with Google, while in the app press your Menu button then select Options. In options, click on "Settings". In settings, scroll down to "Default Calendar" and select your PC Synch one. That will ensure that every entry you make goes into that calendar without having to constantly select it.
Hope that makes sense.

I have a Moto Droid. I followed these directions and I cannot figure out how to show my outlook exchange calendar. Jorte seems better than the stock calendar, but if I can't show my exchange calendar then it is worthless.

Sorry, my bad. I misunderstood your intent.

In my list of calendars, one item is "Exchange." That's the one I have selected, not "PC Sync." Works for me.

No alarms?!?!?

Am i missing something here? A calendar without an alarm function is no good for my needs.

You can set reminders in by taping "show details". Then Reminders. There will be an audio alert and a calendar icon on the notifications bar. Works great.

First I was just playing with Jorte and there is an option for National Holidays. It looks like you can “Acquire” them. I am unsure how that work as I do it a different way, listed below. I wanted to mention this for others that may want to try it that way.

The way I prefer to do it, and I think the best way, is to make your own holidays and sports calendars. The ones Google provides are great but not always accessible to many apps.

So I created a calendar for each sports team and one for holidays. I get the data and export that to an iCal (or .cvs file in a pinch) I then simply import that iCal file into each calendar.

The best reason to do this is it works great and you can turn them on/off within each app including Jorte!

I love how the stuff palm got right, nobody else could.......

+1 for Jor'te (it's french today for me) especially after the update!

 

[CallerHoller]

Don't really need the alarms if I use the widget. The Black widget looks awesome on my home. I like the text appts. I was going to pay for the Calandar Pad widget xcept I saw this. Awesome.

I'm a long time DateBook user coming to the Evo after numerous years with Palm

What a great find this was for me. Thank you to the OP

I'm still holding out hope that Pimlico makes DateBook for Android but right now this app has me pumped.

Does anyone know of a tutorial or general overview on the best way to set it up and integrate with the "cloud" (Looks like it syncs with Google Calendar)?

Also, how are you guys/gals setting it up on one of the home screens and can "Note Everything" integrate with it? Or, does it have a good enough note program already?

Pimlico will be coming to android....when is anybodies guess. They did say that they are working on the app a few months back.

I just found this calendar app last night, and I must say I like it much better than the stock and seems to perform just as good if not better than pure calendar.
