Can anyone recommend a Contacts Widget? I know there are several out there but I can't find one that does the two things I'm looking for: Firstly I want it to read all my contacts, not just selected favourites. And secondly I want the contacts listed surname first. I have a widget, "Photo Contacts", it's the only one I can find that lists all contacts, however it's arranged first name first.
Any thoughts, anyone?
The LauncherPro Plus widget is nice for contacts, but it is a payed app.

Yes, I use LauncherPro and their "People" widget would be perfect for me except that it indexes by first name, with no facility to change to surname. It's a great shame, because I do like that one.

Ok, so the Sense UI is very slick. I especially love the 'people widget' where you can see all your contacts profile pics on the homescreen.
But heres my problem. How on earth do I change the contacts within that widget? Everytime I delete the widget and stick it back to the homescreen, the same people keep popping up.
I guess it can be done quite easily, but why have they hidden that option?
Its done via the contacts, go to the favourites in your Peoples/contacts list.

It uses the people labled favourite in your phone book. So to delete somebody from the app you need to un-favourite them
ah ok. Simple enough.
Is there anyway to sort those contacts rather than having them display alphabetically?
Hello, I would need an app similar to calendar go widget, but for using with adw launcher. Just a beautiful and minimal month calendar widget with google calendar integration If possible.
It could be similar to this, too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142072
I have looked for in market but didn't found what I want.. Any idea? Thanks!
Hi there, I use Jorte and find this a great calandar which syncs with google but looks nicer and has more functions. Jorte is available in the market
Ok its really good, thank you so much
Any other suggestions? If not, I will use it... Thanks
this one is my favorite

Have a look at "Business Calendar"
I will second the Business Calendar suggestion. Also, SBSH just release PocketBreeze for Android. It's not a calendar app, just the widget. You should have alook at it too.
mm yeah Bussines calendar seems pretty good
Jorte and that one are the favourites.
Thank u so much!
my favorite one
I think jorte is the best one!
Biz calendar is the best it has several styles to choose from.

Jorte is the best one i thing.
Anybody else upset that it doesn't come with one ? Any suggestions for alternatives?
Really depends on what info you want to see but I use Simple Calendar myself.

I used Simple Calendar in the past. But now I use the Today widget that comes with the phone.
I'm a big fan of the Pure Calendar, it's a pay for app.
i really like the LauncherPro calendar widget...
I like the business calendar widget, can take up a full page on the home screen if you want it to

I went and installed the TouchWiz 4.5 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883 and it works flawlessly. It has the Calendar widget as well as some really cool features not found in TW4. I highly recommend this for someone wanting a near stock TW experience with some really functional tweaks.

+1 for the business calendar widget, or there is also android agenda widget, which is pretty customizable, and will also scroll if the launcher you are using supports that....
If you just want a list of upcoming appointments, Agenda Widget is awesome. Very customizable, though it takes some work to get it just the way you want. In just a 4x1 space on my screen I can see my next 4 appointments, with little bullets next to them telling me which calendar they are from.

Eh? Am I missing some detail about this question? My device has 2 calendar widgets pre-installed: Agenda and Today. Agenda takes up most of a home screen and scrolls to display lots of calendar appts; Today just shows the current/next appt for the current day.
is there really no month view calendar widget for tw launcher that links up with google calendar?
i have tried go launcher ex and the calendar widget on that is perfect, but i want to run tw launcher instead.
i dont want to add agenda or today widget because i want a month view. any suggestions?

This is a list of bloatware removed from the Cognition ROM:
http://ponack.net/designgears/Cognition777/removed/
The TwCalendarAppWidget.apk listed there has a month view. I believe it's from the Euro SGS2 version of Touchwi but not sure. Anyway, replace the corresponding app on your phone with the one from the link. Worked for me on UnNamed 1.3.1.
Attachment so you can see what it looks like. Not bad.
thanks!
do you know which folder it goes in?
is is possible to theme?
/system/app
same one as your current TwCalendarAppWidget.apk should be in. It should be possible to theme using all the normal tools, apk manager etc.
EDIT: OK, now you got me curious. I was able to decompile, edit some XML and recompile without problems, so yes, I'd say it definitely is possible to theme it. FWIW, I changed the first day of the week to Sun (normally Mon.). I might do a full flashable mod with different themes and what not. But it will take me at least a week b/c I am busy with stuff. No promises!
EDIT 2: Oh, never mind, my changes were superficial. All I did was change the day of the week label, not the display of the widget. Still a good project. Not sure at this point if it is above my head...
EDIT 3: Ok, now this is just getting embarrassing. Using the apk I linked to, all you have to do it go into the Touchwiz Calendar app, go to preferences, and set your First day of the week preference. Widget should reflect this change, otherwise, delete and re-add widget and it should be there!
I SWORE I tried this before and it didn't work.

Pure Grid Calendar is absolutely gorgeous. I have a month view on my lock screen and a week view 4x4 on one of my homescreens.
It pulls from multiple google calendars and displays duration bars corresponding to your events.
Simply stunning. Hands-down one of my best app purchases.
Hi everyone
I recently changed to touchwiz ux launcher, coming from launcherpro. I was wondering if there was any widget like the go calendar widget, meaning a scrollable month overview, a little mark on the days with an appointment, and possibility to click on the days to make/view an appointment then. Thanks in advance
I would suggest you take a look at Jorte Calender:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.johospace.jorte
thanks, yeah i saw that but haven't really tried, but if i'm right that's a whole calendar app, so can this widget show the appointments of the stock app? or maybe if i sync with google in both apps... if anyone knows advice is still welcome, but i'll give that a try soon
just for the record, i've just found android pro widgets, it's calendar widget does exactly what i want, if anyone else has the same problem: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rdr.widgets.core

You can sync it with google to show the same appointments as the stock app. But android pro widgets is a good hint, looks promising. Maybe i can use it for myself.
thank you for this!! finally a go calendar like widget (better actually) that works at higher DPI resolutions !! (SIII at 240dpi)
I just had to reinstall the latest software on my Xperia P, and now I am missing the "favorite contacts" widget. the one that is one line, with four contacts, but you can scroll it to find the other favorite contacts. anyone know where I can get my hands one this widget?
btw: I found out it has been replaced with a widget called "TOP CONTACTS". however I really don't like this. as it is 4 static contacts (can't scroll like I used to, to see more contacts, much the same way as the album widget) also, it's looks horrible, with TOP CONTACTS in big letters and the pictures are boxed in.
- Tried a 3rd party app, still not the same functionality.
- Also found an old widget someone posted, but this is the top contacts and call logs, its a 3x4 square widget. and I still want the 1x4.
