...
i never used that widget caus i can only set to call or write a message to a favourite person
dont know why ... after flashing modaco 2.9 and syncing contacts i got all my favorite contacts in this widget, but wihtout a special action .. now there is : see contact information
perfect for me .. but adding new contacts the hero ask me wich action i like to chose ... weired !?!?!?!
somebody know how i put see contact information in this widget ?!?
peace
i wish there was an option to just open up the contact card and u can pick what action u want .. unfortunately the first time u tap on a contact it makes u pick a default action ...the only way i figured out how to open up contact card like u want to do it to tap on the persons name under the picture.. which is a hard thing to do ... especially when u are on the run
in the 3.0 modaco
in the modaco custom rom the quick htc widget (people widget) dosent work.
you can add people but if you want to scroll down or up it force close
i am using people htc widget on the Fresh CDMA ROM and it works fine
I Think its related to the language of the contacts (my is in Hebrew)

Hello.
I like the HTC home screen sliding panel, but some things I am missing and some things I dont need on it in the standard configuration which is delivered with the Rose.
I was missing:
- graphical notification of all sms, mms, missed calls, voice mails and emails like in the normal windows panel and working with these events from this row
I didnt need:
- sms/mms and email notification in separate rows (wasting of place)
- favourite homepages
- music player
All you need to do it, is to change one row in the HTCSlidingPanel.home.xml located in the folder AplicationData/Home/:
<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CWindowsLive;CAppointments;HTCWeather;Settings" CPRFileName="HTCSlidingPanel" SMSMMSOverride="false" EmailOverride="false" >
You wil find this row easy.
Beside this I removed the "background picture changing option" and the "ringing tones changing option" from the Setting row of the HTC home panel. I really dont need it so much, not necessary to be on the home screen.
You can do this by changing the registry in:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome/Settings/
Registry field called: Pages - simply delete the names of the pages you dont want to have in the Setting row on the homescreen (in my case the backgroud picture and ringing tones), it is very easy.
Hope this will help.
search icon ???
Dear members !
Does anybody know how to put search icon to desktop ? Like HTC-diamond or touch-pro has it ! One guy sad that edition for smartphone doesn't have it, but sorry, I am not happy with that answer?! If I demonstrate for example: I search aplication to search surname "Novak" client through outlook calendar and contacts and notes....and all other aplications which phone has! It would mean a lot to me!
Best regards, Dejan U.

Apparently this is not built in.
As many are aware the new Max-Sense Manilla Mod for windows devices isint perfect, but there are many things that do give it a nice feel. I thought i would open this thread to help in posting bugs/things that could be better or more intuitive.
Let start guys, if there are some helpful comments in this thread ill be happy to add them to the OP as suggestions. Please post what you would like changed or made better, and keep flaming out of the question.
Personally What I'd like to see added in future updates:
Internet link widgets for the homepages
The ability to have more than one blank widget
Live Facebook widget, kinda like the sense tab
Sync Calender with Facebook events
Would like to see a picture Slideshow widget..
i'd like to see the memory and battery widgets have assignable actions, ex when you touch the memory widget it opens ark switch, taskmanager, clean ram, or a program of your choice, and battery would open the power settings, etc.
i would like to see more favorite people widgets
i would like the option to change the max sense taskbar from just minimized, maximized, or none to the windows default taskbar as well
i would like the backup/restore script that beegee_tokyo created implemented into the menu under max sense settings
i would like to be able to press the whole widget for your notifications to take you to the sense tab not just the icon.
it would be nice if the left soft key in the home screens was easily assignable, some people like have the start menu assigned or an app of choice.
i wish the back hard key did somthing, even if it just sent you to the homescreens instead of actually backing up.
i'm not trying to be negative in any way, i absolutely love max sense and all of the work everyone has put into it, but these are all features i think everyone would appreciate
lastly just somthing that came to mind would be a notes widget
I have not tried it. I am still waiting for the author to get back to me about being able to use it my roms. As soon as i am able to use i will let you know. Thanks

+1 for these, especially the "press the whole widget, not just the icon" one. I though my installation was broken until I figured out that you have to push the icon, not the number (eg. missed calls)
My personal feature request would be the ability to insert a table of quicklinks into one of the three main home screens, rather than only on the home button flick left action.
i.e. To fill-in the empty left screen of my theme here:

Thanks for all Max and BIGnAdAd's work!

I agree...I'd love to have my pictures at my main screen and be able to scroll like favorite contacts.....
Okay i have used every ROm on this planet and so far MAX is the most intuitive yet. Here are a few issues i have come across...
1- when returning from a tab based application there is a pause or slight hesitation where the notification bar return to back to the max sense appearance
2- all max sense ROMS are having the small MMS issues and for some reason the quick fix works and then doesn't and reverts back to the original settings
3-MAJOR battery eating - although i did notice when removing all the tmobile crap and the facebook tab that it was a HUGE success on saving batter...Now after one day of minimal use and testing often i was able to have 80% battery !!
4- I think that the Favs. widget could be smarter...quick sms mms or email buttons should or could be applied
thats all for now im sure I will have more ideas soon....thanks devs for making my windows phone make the iphone look retarded ....Nothing better then to see my buddy who just got the iphone 4 and then is caught staring at my HD2...And i know exactly what he's thinking...what phone is that? Phone envy is a sin i say....haha
well.. when we put a new widget, for example want to put a music player widget.. i put it but I want to choose a specific widget (of music player) to put.
So I want to have the option for me to choose what widget I want to put, and not put one itself that maybe i dont like it
I am running Kaos Froyo 35-1. I have tried different options, but I can't find a nice widget that lets me add contacts to one of my screens where I can click the picture and it calls the number. It always brings up the options for text, phone call, and mostly their details.
The original HTC widget did this, and I checked out the Launcher Pro People widget..and nothing quite works.
I am doing this for my kids in case they need to call my family members and don't need a course in Eris development 101
Any suggestions or apps to try?
check out Scrollable Contact Widget.
its a two click option, shows pictures of your choice of contacts (starred or category), once you click the persons name it asks you call, text, email... you click one of those and it goes.
nice app, could be tweaked to work faster though. but the best one i've seen. It requires you use ADW or LP
I've never tried this particular widget, nor do I know the developer, but ran across this over at AndroidForums awhile ago, and your post reminded me of it. They do have a free version so you can try it out and see if you like it.

I use "Contact Widget". It's free on the market and works great.

I don't believe it works with facebook sync, but I don't use facebook sync at all anymore anyway. "SyncMyPix" (also free on the market) will grab all your facebook photos for existing contacts and add them to your google contacts. You can do this once and remove the app since all info is updated to the actual google contact. Or you can use it to update periodically.

You're looking for a shortcut, not a widget
Look under shortcuts, not widgets.

Very simple in Froyo. Find a blank space on your phone and long press. Choose custom shortcut - press "select activity" - scroll down and pick "DIRECT DIAL". Next choose the contact from the list that pops up with number you want and press it. It will then add a 1 click dial icon to the home screen with picture.
Be sure to pic the correct contact and number from the list. For example if your kid's phone has "Mom" as a contact with a home/work/ & cell number when the list pops up to choose from you will actually see 3 "moms" listed with the three different numbers.
Saw this on Gizmodo:

Multi select apps from one widget.
Liking it!
Tried this. It duplicates the launcher icons every redraw until it gets overwhelmed and FCs. Give it more time.
That problem only occurs with Angry Birds. I believe they are working on a fix.
Hi all,
Does anyone have a clue, how to:
- Add a shortcut to Circlelauncher.
I mean the shortcut should appear as app, maybe in the manu as well.
Ive been using it for a while now and think it's great! occasionally it slows down when opening one of the circlelancher widgets (i have four on my screen) but have never experienced an FC from it.
Tap to open the launcher. Currently installed apps appear. To add more, tap circle icon. List of all apps should appear. Check the ones you want....Is this what toy meant?

Do you mean getting the circlelauncher to appear on your screen? If so keep in mind that they are widgets so you have to long press on your screen and select it from the widget menu.
If you mean choosing the individual apps, you choose them from the settings menu.
Hi all, thanks for the answers.
But you dont get it, so far. So: I would like to add a shortcut (like call the chosen contact, go to wifi settings) to the circle. The problem is, that you can add only apps which are on the devicle. I should make the shortcut to appear as app, and than I could add it to circlelauncher.
Or to add shortcut somehow else. (I know that in a normal case, you can not add shortcuts to it)
I want to clear my homesreen totaly btw. Dou you know any launcher, that would let me to even make the dialer or contact button to disapperar? (have motorola defy)
BR to all.

Since the Nook Color so far can't make shortcuts, I might suggest asking in the Motorola Defy section of the forum.
facebook picture for contacts
Circlelauncher is a great widget so far, haven't had any problems. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the facebook pictures as the picture for the contacts? That would be a great addition!
Is there a way to arrange the order of the icons? I want to group like items.
Cheers,

Hi i rooted my xperia x10i after updating to 2.3.3 for the first time and deleted a few bloatware.
1 >>>Somehow i deleted the power widget too and at that time the widget was on my main screen(desktop) too..
After reboot, the widget was deleted and the screen where the widget was placed is blocked and I cannot place any widgets there, nor can i move any existing widget there.
If anyone could help, would really appreciate it...
2 >>> Also after every reboot, the default settings are not remembered by the phone.. as in the shortcut to sms to be used by chompsms, and default miss call by dialer one, etc... Please help..........
3 >>> The menu in which we can set our own order, the new feature which i really like also gets changed after reboot.. Dont know what is the problem, it just doesnt save the view..
BTW Stock Rom with root, FPS unlock, bloatware removed is Super fast and kool and extra smooth too..
Clear data and cache of your home screen app
Thanx! Gregbradley..
It solved the first problem.. Can you please help me with the other two?????

Which launcher and rom are using?
On cyanogenmod roms there is an option to keep the homelauncher in memory, that should help.
You could also use TB to freeze/delete the stock apps so the launcher cant find them and looks for the ones you use instead.
I actually use stock 2.3.3 and have deleted all un-needed stuff.. but in 2.1, it used to remember if I set a shortcut icon to use chompsms, also whenever there is a missed call, it used to determine by itself and open it via dialer one rather than phone... But now in 2.3.3 after every reboot it asks me what default option would i like to choose.. it does not remember...
Also the nicest feature to set the menu items in the order that i would wish, after reboot it forgets and all the icons are spread far and wide..
i know its complicated.............Can you please help??
