Anyone know of such an app? - Streak 5 Themes and Apps

Looking to add 4-6 direct dial or direct sms icons to one slot on the notification drop down menu.
The key is that it uses the contacts picture or a graphic of choosing..
It should be able to just dial or open sms from the menu... not open a widget.
Is this an app?
I currently use power controls. Have used dg quickset...
Anyone know?

I haven't installed it, so don't have person experience. And it looks like you can only put one shortcut in each row, but I could be wrong.

thanks.. I have tried that app, but I am looking for mulitple contacts on one notification line

Dialer!!!

is there a dialer modification out there which can look for contacts by typing the numbers on the dialpad?
i had this feature in all my last wm phones. on the streak i always have to go for contacts and search for a contact.
hope you know what i mean..
for example i want to get a phonecall to "DAVID" i will choose the numbers 328 and so on and it gets a filtered list with the contact that match the numbers...
thanks for all replies...
Dialer One will do it
gesture search, free from google will do it.
Thanks... Dialer one solves it. But is there way to set it as standard dialer when i hit the phone button on the lower screen in froyo? Dialer one has only a setting for a shortcut on the status bar.
If your using Steve's froyo and adw you can just add the dialer one shortcut to your homescreen then drag and drop it on the default phone icon next to the tray button

[Q] [KaosFroyo] Contact Shortcuts

My wife's Droid Eris is stock 2.1.
She has specific contact shortcuts for calls and texts; ie Call Mere, Text Mere
I finally created contact shortcuts. When I touch my shortcut, I get another window with different icons for call, contact, gmail, etc.
Is there a way to create specific shortcuts to call someone without opening the second window?
Thanks
Anycut should do it.
Let me state my observation a different way.
My wife's Droid Eris with stock 2.1 has single click call or text function.
My KaosFroyo v35-1 has requires two clicks, 1st click brings up an expanded window with other options, requiring me to click on the small phone icon to place a call.
How can I create a shortcut to call a telephone number?

bring up the option to add to home screen click shortcuts and scroll down and you have options for direct dial and direct message. And from there its a single click icon to call the selected contact you have choosen for that shortcut
Ok, your reply has added one more thing on my droid do list.
Add each Widget to a screen if only to see what exactly it does.
I selected the Contact Widget not the Direct Dial Widget.
Thanks.

Problem with Adwlauncher Ex

I'm running stock GB update with no moods, unrooted. It seems as though ADW is having some glitches with my quick contacts. I have 8 of them set up on a homescreen in their smallest form 1x1. Sometimes when I run an app or the phone goes to sleep, when I look at the screen again the contacts icons are slightly enlarged with a grey bar along the bottom with two dark grey thumbnail like buttons. When I press the contact, instead of quick dialing like I have them set for, it brings up the copntact menu for text, email, or call. Anyone having this issue or know what the cause may be? Any help appreciated.

I'm pretty sure this is the wrong section since this is an app, not atrix specific

Possible to quick reply to SMS from Notification tray?

Hey all,
Spent a lot of time on iOS. Really trying to make the transition to android and the one thing I really miss is the lockinfo / bitesms combo from cydia.
With this I was able to view all pending SMS / Emails on the lockscreen and also reply to SMS with a popup but only AFTER clicking on the notification.
What I'm looking for is the functionality to receive SMS, see the notification in the top bar, bull the tray down, click the SMS, get a quick reply popup to compose and send the message, collapse the tray and go back to what I was doing.
As of now I have to use the notification to open the messaging app or use a different messaging app altogether (handscent, Chomp), all of which seem to popup at the receipt of the message or not pop up at all.
Thanks!

Give GoSMS Pro a shot, not exactly what you've described, but it does use pop-ups that appear in front of the currently running app and allow you to quickly reply then go back to the previous app.
Idk if miui is out for s3 but that rom has a similar feature that i loved built in ..

Got GoSMS already and have been using it since earlier today. You're right that it's close but what I'd like is have the SMS pop up in the notification area and reply to it using a quickreply window when I get to it instead of it flashing up in front of me while I'm doing something. Also, as soon as you use a custom SMS app it no longer allows for the use of the raise to call motion - which I find is actually fairly useful!

honestly I miss BiteSMS too for my iphone 4... I hate Apple though.
Try SMS popup, it's the closest thing for me so far and you can change LED notification and contacts ringtone, make sure to disable the system messaging system so there wont be any conflict. Give me a heads up if you find anything better.

[Q] Direct Dial shortcuts and contact photos

On my Z1 homescreen I have a couple of direct dial shortcuts and the icons are taken from the contact photo.
I have tried to set these up on my Z2 but I'm just getting default avatar icons.
Anyone know how to get contact photos associated with these shortcuts?
I must have known once but can't seem to work it out now...............ah, .the joys of old age.
(If I add a contact to the homescreen that brings the icon with it but then when you press the desktop icon you get contact details displayed, ie its not a one-touch to dial someone)
Hello,
Did you find the solution? I was hitting the same issue.
Thanks,
Robert
