Hi!
I had minicm7 on my mini pro 2, and now I've changed back to stock rom and I miss the contacts widget, the one that puts a picture on the home screen and shows call, sms, mail, etc, buttos when I hit it. Can someone tell me where can I get it?
The closest widget I've found is the one called cool contacts widget but, spite of the name, it's not cool.
Thank you!
Try go launcher. I think it has a contact widget in it.
Also report your thread and have it moved to q and a.

thanks mnishamk, but i feel go launcher is too heavy for my phone...

I have installed ADW and found that it improves the UI a lot. But I have not found any way to put a shortcut to a contact directly on the home screen.
Is there a solution to this?
Should be able to add widget-> shortcut -> contact?

@knudsen81: Thank you. It was something like Launch-X I was looking for . It would have been nice to use the Pro version, but since I do not want to root my X10 it's not possible to pay for it .

I would like to make the notifications stay on my status bar until I actually read the SMS or the e-mail. There are times where I don't have time to read a long e-mail or answer a test at that instant but I would like to be reminded to read it later by leaving the notification on the status bar.
As soon as I open the SMS app or the e-mail or gmail app, the notification goes away.
For bonus points: any way to have the number of unread messages next to the icon in the menu? I found one way to do it for sms but it's a widget and I prefer having my icons on a dock.
Just putting this out there: I would love to have this for Gmail and Google Voice as well.
I'm so sorry for this poor answer but sassibob did a review for an app that let you set reminders in your status bar, in don't remember the name of it tho
Swyped from just about every ROM in the HD2 section

not what I had in mind..
Well IMO setting the notification manually is a better alternative then nothing

Why open the SMS app if you're not going to read it?
Anyway, use GoLauncher or LauncherPro or Launcher 7 if you want a little number next to the SMS app to tell you how many unread messages are present. You can't get this for Gmail because Google axed the API, and you won't find it for Google Voice either as far as I know.
Thanks guys! Will check those out!

On my old phone I used to leave them unread so that the notification was there to remind me to answer them later. LauncherPro did exactly what I wanted! Now if only it did that for the app drawer too...
He actually left one out, adw launcher also leaves the numbers of unread SMS,email, and other stuff, but you must download adw notifier along with the launcher

Adw sucks IMO though, plus you need the launcher plus an addon..

Adw is awesome the addon means nothing it still functions plus adw has more customizations. Lp is great also, but u have to pay for donate to resize widgets, also adw lets u change icons natively

I tried out the ADW notifier and the problem remains that the number goes away as soon as you launch the messages app or e-mail even if you don't open the message. LP wins this battle. Plus, I have a clean home screen so widgets don't apply to me personally
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)
Am searching for an android launcher with gmail, facebook and twitter integration, I meant just the notification count like in windows 7 or windows 8 phones.Just the notification alone is enough. Can any body suggest me such a launcher which can show me missed call counts, unread mail, sms , facebook counts??
Try chameleon launcher. Its currently in beta for phones. BTW why don't you just add a widget for them to the home screen?
Chameleon for phones in my opinion is more adapt for large display, 5" min.
please post all questions in the Q&A section and not the general.
please see XDA rule 15.
thanks

Hey premsrj, I tried it man, its not that handly I feel its kindoff tedious, actually am fond of using windows launcher like launcher 7 and launcher 8 but the problem is none has got facebook integration . well, adding widgets kindoff eat lot of memory, thats why I dont add much widgets buddy.
Suggest me if u have any other option, and Thanks for replying.:laugh:

Yo Stefano41094, I have MMX A110 which has a 5' display but still it doesnt satisfy my need. I need a simple launcher may like a windows 7 or 8 launcher with such integration. Let me know if you have come across such thing. Anyway, thanx for response buddy.
I am currently an iphone 4s user that is tired of ios and its limitations. I am interested in switching to android. One thing that I would really love to have on my phone is a functional to-do list on my lockscreen that I could see every time that I look at my phone. Is this possible on android and do you have any recommendations any apps that can do this? Thank you.

U can use Widget Locker and took some todo widget on ur lockscreen.
You can look at Astrid, Any.Do, Taskos etc for todo widget.
And simply way u can choose this option as well using Simply Lockscreen
Here u can get:
- Simply Lockscreen: link
- Astrid link
- Taskos link
- Widget Locker link
I am usin the setup below..
I have Any.Do as my default task application.. I have replaced my lockscreen with the DashClok widget.. Any.do has a dash clock extension which can show your tasks right in the main lock screen.. Or you can create one more page in the lock screen and use the Any.Do widget directly there..
Thank you for your replies. I can't wait to get an android phone. Ios users could only dream of having this type of functionality. amith007, is there any way you could please show me what the any.do dashclock widget looks on your lockscreen? I tried looking for screen shots of what that would look like but I couldn't find any. Thanks.
Thanks.
PM me if u need help

In the first picture you can see that the Any.do icon showing the task pending task count.. and when i simply expand the widget, it will show the first task there itself.. and you can click there to open the Any.do app directly..
Thank you, very cool but a little too subtle for me. What jungjawa suggested is more in your face. Thank you all for your recommendations. Android really is the best option for me.
