calendar event colors - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Sorry if im posting this in the wrong section
I have a gnex on 4.1.2 with the latest calendar update, but i cant figure out how to change the calendar event colors when i create or edit one. It lets me change the calendar i want it on, but not theindividual event color.
Does anybody know how to do this?
The only way i know is to go to the desktop version... but that sort of defeats the point of having the calendar on my phone
Thanks

I don't think it's possible to do so yet, on the mobile app.
Let's hope Google adds this feature in the future.
I am more concerned with the fact that the calendar colors are totally different for the same calendars on mobile and desktop. Haven't you noticed? I really hope they fix that first.

The colors show up the same on my desktop and mobile. My problem is i just cant change the colors from mobile... sucks!!! I hope they change it this should have been there since the begining its such a basic function

Email with custom email icons

Hi guys, this is probably a retarded question but.. how can i go about putting my own icons on the side of my email accounts in the messaging program on my phone? I Know tmobile has the email plugin that gives your email an icon like Yahoo! and Aim but im not using the tmobile rom, im using the GREAT Htc rom version before the Rogers. I just want to use better icons rather than the stock ugly mail looking one that you get when you start a new make a new email account. Is there a folder with icons or a registry i can change to use my own custom icon? Thanks guys...
?????
Not one person knows an answer to this? Someone has to at least know, im sure its quite simple to figure out. I just need a little help. lolz
Custom Email Icon
I too am wondering how do to this.
I am guessing it'll have to be some change in the reg edit.
I believe I've checked on this in here and seem to find nothing.
Bueller, Bueller...
Here's the most related thread I could find. Fourth post down by limpmike. I might try exploring around this reg to see what I can modify...
what a retarded question. jk
i have no clue. let me poke around and see if i can find where thats located.
there's a way to do it, but for only one icon.... meaning you cannot have custom icons for every email account. there's only one master email icon for all email accounts you have. i messed with it a few months back and there doesn't seem to be a way to use custom icons for each and every email account you have. and btw... the changes ARE in the registry.

[Q] Sense Calendar Question

Quick question... I've just switched back to Sense from CM6, and I'm wondering if I am losing my mind.
Am I right in saying that it is NOT POSSIBLE to edit calendar entries using HTC calendar? That seems unbelievable to me, but so far the only options I can see are to create an entry or delete. There is no "edit" option. I'm 99% certain that the AOSP calendar has this.
Can someone please confirm?
Thanks,
Matt_TX
EDIT: Even more bizarre... I CAN edit entries created on my Exchange Calendar, but I CANNOT edit entries created on my Google Calendars. So weird!
My edit option seems to depend on where the entry comes from. If I add something striaght to the calendar I can edit it as I please. If it's something that sync'ed from lets say Facebook then I can not edit it. My work exchange also syncs and it all depends on what the event is and if it's something I originally made or not. All in all I think it depends on the type of even it is but I will also be watching this thread to see if someone has a little more info they can chime in with.
This is really very strange...
I can add, edit and delete apppointments on my Exchange calendar - regardless of where the entry was orignally made - Phone, OWA or Outlook.
I can ONLY add or delete (NO EDIT) appointments on my Google calendar(s) - regardless of where the entry was originally made - Phone or Web.
Anyone know why this is the case? AOSP calendar works just fine... Is this a bug in Sense?

You can change it from your desktop. Log in to Google, click on calendar, and where it has your your calendar name and Tasks below it (could be different on yours). If you select the drop down arrow, you can select a different color. This will sync to your phone also.

Thanx, that answers my question on how to change the overall color on my calendar, but im still looking for a way/an app that gives me diffrent colors for each event like on my brower's calendar.
up.
If you wanted a widget, you could try Simple Calendar widget
No they were right, go via the web to your Google calendar and pick the event and you can change the color of just that event. I've done it before so I know it works. I even have separate calendars with different colors too.

[Q] New mails don't appear in the Lock Screen

Hi. I am very satisfied with my HTC ONE X. There is just one thing bothering me: It seems to be impossible to display the new arriving mails on my Lock Screen (Productivity). Missed calls, new text messages and my calendar events are no problem, but there is now way to get the new mails on that screen. The settings are correct, but I still don't unsterstand why it doesn't work....
Waiting for HTC support is like hoping for Jesus to appear in front of you ...
By the way, I am using the official Gmail App for my mailing. I also read in another forum that the HTC guys are not to blame: The problem would be coming from Google...
So, what shall I do, did I miss something ?
Does anyone have an idea to help me out, would be highly appreciated !

Are you using a third party launcher? I have found that the Rosie launcher needs to be running in memory for the mail notification to update on the lock screen. It doesn't however have to be your primary launcher. Just create a shortcut to it and launch it whenever the notification icons stop updating. I haven't taken the time to figure out if Android kills the launcher from memory or not during use.
If you go to settings > personalise > lock screen style then go to the productivity option and select settings if you go to the 'display mail from' option it will only allow you to select the accounts you have in the default mail app.
This is slightly odd though as the calendar display options allow you to display calendar items from many more sources that you have already configured (Facebook, Google etc.)
Just for clarification, I have a fully stock HOX.
Thank you for your replies guys. It has strictly nothing to do with thirdpard launchers, or with the settings. It simply doesn't work because it is not the default mail program I am using. Sad but true...

I recently figured that out as well it won't show official Gmail app emails, you need to configure your gmail account into HTCs mail app which is not too bad for Gmail saying that.

[Q] Creating Google Calendar Private Events

Hi everyone,
I've been searching for an answer to this one for a while, but no one seems to have this issue.
On may old HTC magic, when I created a calendar event I could choose "More options" and set the event to private. With the one x, this option appears to be missing and all events are created as"default".
I am using the calendar app that comes with the one x (I would prefer to keep using this app if possible, I think this is the google calendar app with a sense skin). I only sync and display google calendar, but I also have hotmail accounts setup on the phone (only sync/display mail with these).
I can create the calendar event and then go to the web version and make it private but this kind of defeats the purpose of creating the events in the phone. I need to make some events private as I have others looking at the calendar to see when I am available but I don't want them to be able to see the details.
Has anyone seen a solution to this? I was really hoping that with the150odd people that have looked at this thread that someone might know of a solution.
