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?

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.
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?

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!
Cheers

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.

looks sweet, thx for the tip! i'll check it out later
I've been searching high and low, on the googles and on the forums for a widget like the HTC Message Widget/ Pure Messenger Widget but one that will show the last message in the conversation between myself and any other contact. Instead of just showing me the last message that each contact has sent to me.
Does anyone know of one? I can't believe that there are no widgets that can accomplish this out there somewhere.
I'm still looking, if anyone has any info on this I would greatly appreciate it!
Colorize Widget has the option for threaded text on widget
