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?

Still looking for feedback on this if anyone else time to test it

0.9.3-Beta now on market, various fixes to update logic and import/export ics files.
Multi row widgets now allow you to choose the top row and show upcoming for the others (settings->widget->event mode->chosen top, others upcoming).
Choose a row by opening the Quick Agenda, tap and hold then press "choose event"
I was looking for something to replace Smooth Calendar widget and after I tested few other, I tested Quick Agenda.
It was a litle pain to understand how to configure it, but after I managed to set it, I have to say that it is the agenda widget I was looking for!
It is working very good in my system (look at my sig ).
Feedback left on Android Market (John - Apl 17)...
Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you like it!
Any suggestions on what I can do to make the setup easier to understand? (e.g. what did you have trouble with?)
Hard to make suggestions as I'm starting to get used to the settings...
Meanwhile, I think I found a little bug: I had four appointments for tomorrow and using the left side panel (Quick Agenda) I changed the day to April 20.
The display was refreshed ok after a minute.
After that, using again the Quick Agenda menu, I changed the dates again to April 23, but the displaying appointments were not refreshed (they were on April 20).
So, Quick Agenda had the 4 appointments showing on April 23 but the main widget menu was showing them on April 20 (when I clicked on each one to edit, the date was on April 20).
After I opened the settings menu for widget and for Quick Agenda and closed it, the display was corrected to April 23.
Something else I want to ask for, if it is possible to select a span for the days ahead which is going to be displayed in widget (e.g. only the following 3 days, etc.)
Thanks in advance
So you would like the widget to refresh when one of the events on it changes? Should be possible!
Span of days is pretty easy as well.

Maybe would be a good idea to have a service running in the background to make possible to change immediately the widget contents when an event changes or in an addition/deletion of an event (in Smooth Calendar there was the selection of auto update (for the widget) which started the background service)

Yep, an ugly content observer doing something its not supposed to the background is the way I will be doing it
Should get to it later this afternoon or tomorrow, I will try to make it steal as few resources as possible!

Done, this new setting is available in market (along with the "event look ahead"/span of days feature and other enhancements). It is sort of hidden in customize widget->update settings->Refresh on change (at the bottom).
Let me know how it goes!

I'm going to test it and tell you how it goes
Early first impressions
After installing new beta, I have to remove old widget and set all over a new one
The worse: I was almost done with my settings and I was in Quick Agenda's setting page. I pressed the bottom selection ('Widget setting') and I had Force Close
Every time I press the above selection it gives Force Close (the message it gives is:
"The application QuickAgenda (process com.everybodyallthetime.android.quickagendatrial) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Oh no! Sorry about your settings, I will be adding a restore feature soon to load settings from other widgets (I should probably add tis function first next time).
I think I have fixed the widget settings button (uploaded a new version to the market just before). Does it fix fit?
EDIT: PM'ed you my email address, maybe we can recover the prefs
Ok I got your pm.
I'm going to send you an email in a few minutes...
This app is getting close to release time, check it out while it is free!
Recent changes:
Save/Load widget settings
rejigged the settings some more
changed the default view to be upcoming and chosen
Layout upgrades
I realized yesterday, that I think this app has an identity crisis.
Its not quite a popup agenda app
Its not quite an agenda widget app
Its not quite a count down widget app
Its not quite an ical handler app
It has all these functions though they are all muddle together.
The 2nd and 3rd are easy, remove the "single row" option from the current widget and make another widget called "countdown". But this could also be a separate application.
The first one is hard. I could release Quick Agenda as just the agenda popup and allow other applications (such as a new countdown widget app or new agenda widget app) to interface with it or I could leave it built in to this weird Frankenstein app I have already created.
The last one should be in all my apps
Any opinions?
(1st thread and post, just wanted to share this).
Hello, and welcome to my tutorial on how to install Sense 4.0 on your android. Like the title says, these are all apps from the play store, and will require some tweaking, which I will take you through. Let's get started
Step 1: Installing your apps.
First, we will need some apps that will contain the lockscreen, interface, and some Sense-Like widgets. Here is a list of the apps you need to install:
Agile Lock free
Go Launcher EX
HTC Sense 4.0 (One X) Go Theme
Sense V2 Flip Clock & Weather
Android Pro Widgets
TV Show Favs
Once you've done this, press the Home key, and select Go Launcher EX as your home replacement, not Agile Lock.
Step 2: Lockscreen
Open up the Agile Lock app, and press either Yes or Never Show. Then press the power button. Next, press the settings button, and press continue. Then, press "Top Style Setting", and uncheck "Display weather widget". Go back, and uncheck screen lock sounds, unlock vibrate, and display music control.
Step 3: Theme
Press the menu key, and go to themes. Scroll over to the installed page, and apply the sense 4.0 theme.
Step 4: Preferences
Press the menu key again, but this time press preferences. Check infinite scrolling. Click visual settings. Scroll over to "Icons" and select the icon size as "Default Size". Then scroll over to "Indicator" and click Screen Indicator. Press Hide Indicator. Then go back. Press "Appearance Settings". Scroll over to App Drawer. Select the Grid Size as "Custom Grids" and make it 5x4. Don't select the 5x4 preset, as it doesn't work correctly.
Step 5: Setting Up The Homescreens
For your main homescreen, set a 4x2 Sense clock. Select your location (It might find it for you), and then uncheck display 24 hour time, and check am/pm. Next, get rid of all the preset apps. You can set up any apps you want, but I personally set a default LTEvo setup, (Contacts, Play Store, Google Apps Folder w/ Gmail, Talk, Maps, G+, and Voicemail). Same goes for your dock (LTEvo = Phone, Email, Apps, Messaging, Camera).
Keep in mind, this is just an LTEvo setup, you can fit your own fancy.
Scroll to the left once. For this, set a 4x4 People Widget.
Scroll left again. Set a 4x4 Calender widget.
Once again, to the left, I personally just set a google play music widget, and resized it to a 4x4, but you can just put whatever you want for a music widget.
Go back to the right once from the homescreen. Set a google search widget.
To the right again, set a bookmarks widget
On the last right page, set a 4x4 TV Show Favs widget. It will bring up a login. If for any reason you have an account already, use it. Otherwise, make one. Now if you don't make one, the widget won't show. Make another one, but with a tv show stack widget. If you back out again, it will be clear, which won't look good. If you make an account, it will be black, so that is preferable.
That's it. You will have a sense 4.0 like experience. I hope you like it. And remember it's OK to customize it!
Hi, i would like to announce my new app Contacts on lockscreen widget.
This widget allows you to add contacts on the lock screen.
Just one click - on contact icon, and phone will call selected contact. No need to unlock the screen, even if it is locked with pattern / photo / PIN!
There are 2 sizes of widget for lockscreen, and 3 sizes for home launcher.

Hello all, just a quick one, how on earth do you add a contact to the home screen on an Oppo A5? I've looked through widgets and there isn't an option to add contacts to home screen, there doesn't appear to be anything linked in the contacts themselves to add to the home screen (though I did notice each contact had 2,yes 2 icons to send a text to them just a couple of cm apart).
