Answer 1

The (standard) title you can change easily with

1. implementing onChildTitleChanged in the TabActivity

   @Override 
   protected void onChildTitleChanged(Activity childActivity, CharSequence title) {
       super.onChildTitleChanged(childActivity, title);
       setTitle(title);
   }
   

2. set the title in the child activities, f.e.

   @Override 
   protected void onResume() {
       setTitle("Calender");
       super.onResume();
   }

Changing a custom title shouldn't be that hard with this strategy. F.e. all your child-activities could implement a interface and have a method

    public int getTitleResource()

The tab-activity can now do

    @Override 
    protected void onChildTitleChanged(Activity childActivity, CharSequence title) {
        super.onChildTitleChanged(childActivity, title);
        getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, ((TabChild)childActivity).getTitleResource());
    }

Or you can transport the id as part of the child-title-string and parse it back to int...
