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.

Right now, I'm running CM 6 and I had launcher pro plus, loved the widgets but i found it was using up quite a bit of my battery. I'm trying to switch back to ADW launcher but I cant find anything close to the widgets that Launcher pro offered(i.e. bookmarks, messaging scroll widget). I've looked at beautiful widgets, pure messenger, and some other ones but can't quite find anything like it.
Is there a way to get sense widgets on cm6 other than launcherpro? Even the clock widget that has alarm+timer+stopwatch when you click it(i have weather widgets so it looks identical). And also the bookmarks4x4 and messaging scrollable widgets.
Wrong section.
Thread closed.
Does anyone know if there's an internet browser widget that has a transparent/naked skin?
I'm hoping for a widget that's similar to HTC browser widget except I wish it has no borders and just have the scrollable bookmarks.
Title says it all.
NO.
but Honeycomb 3.1 allows you to resize a lot of widgets now, not all though.
I've been combing the web most the day looking for a Zune-like widget (not a home replacement such as Faded Home) and possibly a scrollable widget file browser, anyone familiar with any such apps?
