Basically the "Messages" widget is the stock HTC widget for text messages.
My contact's names do not appear where it should as shown in the layout, instead I have their phone numbers preceded by a +.
So instead of seeing "John Doe" I'm seeing "+555-555-5555"
I rooted my Hero, and removed the following apps.
Sprint NFL
Teeter (The game with a ball and maze)
Peep
HTC widget that handles twitter
I think that's it. I would really like for my contact's names to appear in the widget as seeing 9 digits isn't exactly useful to me.
EDIT: While I'm here ... I've been trying to use Better Cut to create a Messages shortcut however when I replace the icon (from an icon pack) it always defaults back to the android Messages icon ... Anyone know why this is happening? If it matters the icon is also being duplicated on the "Home" interface running behind "Sense UI"
No one else?

hey, is there a widget for the Handcent SMS ?
thanks from TheTmac
Yes.
Regards,
Rudi
where can i find it ?
i mean a widget like the one which comes with the phone when you buy it.. that's one thing i miss with the handcent sms.. (HTC Legend)
Handcent Widget Included
The widget is bundled with the application itself.
Having installed it, simply look for the widget (long press desktop, you know )
However, all it does is displaying the number of unread messages.
yea i know that one..
but i wanted a widget which is like the one which comes with the phone..

Pure is the best bet for something that looks like that.
You can set Handcent to display a popup that looks very much like the 'widget' you linked to.
MyWidgets.
i believe there is a widget that is called puremessenger,that shows email,sms,and i believe facebook all in one widget..look it up..but you have to pay for it..
It's called "Pure messenger widget" by Fancois DESLANDES.
and if you have home++ for home, it's a scrollable.
Hi guys,
I just got froyo on my desire, so no htc sense for me, which is not such an issue as i didn't really use any of the htc sense stuff, except people widget. Now, I can't seem to find a similar replacement on the market.
Does anyone know of a simple people widget that works the same way as the htc one?
Cheers
you wont find anything as pretty as the sense widgets but if your looking just for the function try contacts sidebar it works for me
i just tried contacts sidebar, and its good but it only has 4 contacts. Does anyone know of a widget where I can choose a "group" of contacts such as "favorites (starred)" and it shows them in a list. I don't really care if the contacts are scrollable like the htc people widget, as long as I can show more than 4 and i can scroll through them with an arrow or something like that.
Also, it would be nice if i can just choose the starred contacts and not have to select contacts manually.

People/contact widget. Type Sagrebin in the marketplace. They have a free trial and a paid widgets. Exact copy
actually i found this app called speeddialer. pretty much everything i was looking for. its a 1x4 widget and you can add as many contacts as you like. only downside is that it will ONLY do the default action for that contact, which is more than good enough for me right now
thanks all for your replies.
Hi all
I'm looking for a People widget with the same functionality as the attached screenshot that I can use with LauncherPro, preferable scrollable. The attached comes from Sense and has the handy "most recent event" notification, plus a number number bubble for SMS. The People widgets that come with LauncherPro are basically just pictures you can click to get to a preselected contact method. I've tried a few from the Market with no luck.
Any ideas?
Hi all. I have been looking for a very simple and not too large SMS Widget that I could place on WidgetLocker. Since I could not find any that would fit my needs (especially only being 4x1 max), I created one on my own.
I would like you to install this widget if you were looking for the same thing and kindly ask you to give me some feedback, what you would expect, or what could be improved.
Currently, the widget displays all SMS that it finds. This is planned to be only unread SMS. But I thought for testing purpose it's easier like this. The idea is to fully hide the widget once no unread sms are here (just looks better in WidgetLocker).
Features (v0.1.0):
automatic monitoring of SMS
hide the widget, if there are no sms.
Browse all sms
Automatically scroll Names.
Will display the currently displayed sms throughout all widgets (if you browse, all the widgets show the same sms).
Planned Features / Improvements
Easier button pushing
Auto scroll of text
Basic configuration (colors, disabling of features)
Themes for widget.
Mark SMS as read from widget
Delete SMS from widget.

Many thanks in advance!
PS: Since this is my first android app, I was not even sure, if I signed it correctly and so on, so please be a bit patient!
Hi there,
there are a lot of SMS widgets in the Play Store but all of them seem to be much more complicated than what I want: I need a widget the only displays a preview of the text of a new message and only when there are new messages. I want no buttons to reply, not a list of threads, anything. Just the text. Does anyone know a widget like that? Preferably one where the look can be adjusted? And preferably free of course ;-)
TIA
