Looking for a Google Voice widget similar to the messaging widget that HTC makes. Anyone know of one or want to udertake this project? I think it would be a hit personally, being able to see all you voicemails - scrollable - from a home screen widget!
Can somebody point me in the direction of a contact widget like that in sense UI? I've probably downloaded about 15 different widgets and none of them have what I'm looking for. Id like to find one that pulls the contacts photo from Facebook, preferably a scrollable widget. Any ideas?
Search for Scrollable ContactWidget in the market. Or buy the plus version of Launcher Pro.
But not sure whether they would be able to grab contacts and pics from facebook.
Launcherpro Plus is the way to go. He always has good updates and he has been adding alot of widgets that if you didnt know were HTC's. Well worth the money.
Hey guys, do you know a scrollable contact widget that works with 1.6? i'm thinking of something like pure messenger, only for contacts.
I know that we'll get eclair soon, but i still wanna knows if there exists something like that. I'm using adw launcher, which is capable of scrolling widgets.
Talking of 2.1, can you tell me a good scrollable contact widget for that? If i'm not wrong, launcher pro (plus?) brings one built in, right?
Cheers

Nope, 2.1 upwards only.
Not that kind you search, but with Launcher-X Pro you can create widgets, at least with contacts (, apps & shortcuts).
For example you can create a widget where you can see up to 7 contacts.
By pressing a button in the widget you can turn to next side of the widget, where are the next 7 contacts.
In every widget you create you can add up to 72 contacts (apps or shortcuts).
Launcher-X Pro is availible in Market in 2 Versions (free & paid)
At the second screen from my phone you can see one of the widgets with my most used contacts. (pictures are pixelized)

Just have a look and try the free version of that app.
I like it.
Thanks for your answers!
I'm already using launcher-x pro, and i really like it for having my most used apps etc at hand.
But scrolling/swiping like in the pure messenger widget is just more intuitive since i don't have to precisely push a button. sounds stupid, i know, but it really makes things easier
I wonder why no one is creating a widget like this, pure messenger already shows that it's possible when you have a capable launcher. and ADW is easily one of the most used launchers out there Or is there another limitation when we're speaking about contacts instead of messages? Probably we're just obsolete fossils with our donut
Thanks anyway for your advices!

Ive tried to look for a widget like that too, but had no luck. The best thing you can do is wait for 2.1 to come and then install LauncherPro Plus.. You'll get a scrollable people widget, much like the htc's contact widget.

You can use GDE home and it has built in task bar and additional 4x1 dock that can add any place. you can add any shortcut or contact and change icon and rename each the way you want in both dock and task bars. whats more is that you can add any number of icons and scroll both ways. Check it out.

I am on CM7 which came with ADW and it was fast. But I need good calendar and power toggle widgets( wife, gps, sync, mobile, brightness..all in one), so I switched to GO Launchers. HOwever, GO seems to be really slow, noticeably so. ANyone else seen this? I did freeze ADW and my quadrant score is actually the same, so it must be a Go Launcher thing?
Are there good power and calendar widgets that you can recommend for ADW?
Thanks
Yes its the Go launcher,s problem its slow and freezes all the time..why dont you try ADW launcher EX..

I use widgetsoid and pure news widget scrollable...im not sure if they are still on the market though.
APW (Android pro widgets) is very good for calendars and different feeds. Elixir is one of the best power toggles I've used. So much stuff you can do with it. And its free!
Android Agenda Widget - Calendar, Lots of features
Power control can be done via status bar but if you wanting a widget...
Power Control.
i would love to find a nice contacts widget and a messages widget for my htc inspire

Apw has the best contact and message widgets, if you get the pro version make sure you install the ics theme for it, it looks superb
Hi, i switched from GoLauncher Ex to ICS and Nova launcher. I can't find contacs widget and calendar widget as they are in Golauncher.
I have tried People widget and Contacts widget from market, but first can't assign group, second can't direct dial.
I'm looking for launcher independent widget.
Calendar widget should act as in GoLauncher, should swap agenda, dat, month.
Which one you can suggest?
