With the update to ios 5 the schema has changed slightly for the Calendar.sqlitedb file. Instead of using RGB colors (color_r, color_g, color_b), Apple has changed it to use a single hex color called “color”.

So an example update query would look something like this:

update Calendar set color=’#FF0000′ where title = ‘your_calendar_name_here’;

The above hex color (#FF0000) is a shade of red. To find your favorite color in hex just search in Google for “hex colors”. There are tons of sites that have hex color charts.

Not that I’m aware of.. yet. It’s like an iPad without the screen.

Is it possible to install Debian or Ubuntu on the Applt TV 2?

To get around the HDA/SDA issue, you need to install the OS to an external HD and force the appletv to boot from that. I’ve got 5x 1TB external drives hooked up via a 7port powered USB hub. I had to dd the OS install to the beginning of each EXTERNAL drive but NOT the internal drive. I then added all the seperate partitions to /etc/fstab via UUID. This allowed me to not have to worry about which drive booted up first.
I created a script to run on a reboot that runs dd to copy the root partition across all the external drives.

I use the atv as a local webserver for testing, NFS shares, mpd server, and seedbox for my torrents. I don’t have X installed or mess with any of that gui crap.
It runs Slackware-current.

Thanks for your tutorial. I currently have several calendars, including some synchronised with Gmail. All the Gmail calendars have the grey colour.

So I have managed to install openssh, sqlite3, connect to my iphone and do the sql queries to change the colours manually.

However, it looks like everytime calendar synchronises with Gmail, the gmail calendars’ colour reverts back to the original grey! Does anyone know how I can prevent this?

that’s great, I am wondering if this can work as a desktop, can I use firefox or chrome and browse silverlight sites, would that be slow or doable?

Same same, frequent. Took in to Apple, after two days was told could not replicate. Of course, they would have to use the Air for two weeks if that’s the way they are going to diagnose it..
I have not had the issue yet without the monitor plugged in…
