Scrollable contact widget for 1.6 (using ADW)?

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!
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.

[REQUEST] Calendar App + Widget

I have recently changed my ROM to MIUI and it's awesome minus the calendar app.
And i've been tediously installing and testing different calendar apps to find one that fits my needs.
I love the looks of Pure Grid Calendar's 4x4 XL widget. But i hate that i have to use a different app to manage my calendars.
So i'm looking for an app that will have a widget similar to Pure Grid's, but has the capability to edit my calendar events, and even switch what type of calendar it is associated with.
And if that doesn't make sense then i will try to explain it a little better....
I have 2 calendars that i use "BILLS" and "PAID BILLS"
Pretty obvious what their purpose is.
The stock HTC Calendar on the EVO had the ability for me to change my task/event from BILLS to PAID BILLS.
Any help is appreciated.

Best Calendar App/Widgets?

What are the best Calendar apps or widgets, of any variety and quickly why?
If the app costs $, be sure to say so!
I'm compiling a list of threads that will help people find the best apps/widgets of each category. Will recompile when done so your help is greatly appreciated!

LaucherPro!
Plus version has a calendar, contacts ans sms widget
PowerNote for notes and widget, has a nice UI
Smart ShortCuts creates shortcuts of apps by catergory
BuzzBox for news!
Beautiful Widgets! Has a niiice weather unlock animation and a clock with themes.
That's all I can tell as for the best in my opinion...
Cheers!

Back again, just tried business calender beta. Nice app. but in my opinion Jorte is much better: more readable textiel in week view for example.

Pure Calender Widget
Pure Calender Widget, costs about € 0,79, but it works nice, very much functions, sizes, etc. I'm working with it for a long time now, and the dev is answering and trying to help if something comes up...

Agree with Kwarkje, find pure calendar widget the best solution for me, multiple widget sizes, skins and quick add event function,

I've used Smooth Calendar for over a year because it's simple and looks good. I just recently switched to Jorte for something different and I like the layout of both the app and widget so far.

My favorite is colorize widget. It has an agenda widget just like sense and also has facebook and twitter widgets similar to the friends stream in sense. Best of all its free.

Jorte by far.. LOVE the look and teh fact it has just about every widget size you can imagine

Android Agenda Widget is a nice scrollable agenda widget. It has a mind-boggling array of settings and potential customizations to make it look just how you want.

Jorge gets my vote. Great Widgets and settings.

i found jorte to be giving too many options to customize, which suits every screen

Do you have .apk file for Jorte?
edit: ok now ive got .apk file thanks you

Really nice, hadn't found about this one yet

I like Pure Grid Calendar Widget for a nice customisable calendar style widget. The only thing that would make it better is if you could switch between an agenda view and calendar, like the Launcher Pro Plus widget.
Oh yeah, and it costs €1.49

[Q] Like HTC Sense Widgets?

I am looking for Agenda/Calender and Bookmark widgets like the ones on HTC Sense. I have tryed Launcher Pro Plus widgets but I don't want to use LP on my TF. I have also tryed Pure Grid Calendar widget w/Sense skin but it is buggy and isn't scrollable on my TF..The Calender n Bookmark widget on the TF are small and pathetic.
If anyone can recommend a good Agenda/Calender and Bookmark widget that is scrollable and works as smooth as the Sense or LP ones please let me know! Thanks

I'm quite a fan of touch calendar - the paid version has the widgets that you can set to display x number of upcoming/past weeks in a given widget size. It's not scrollable directly from the widget, but you can specify clicking on the widget to either add a new event or see the full calendar. The pinch zoom on the calendar app itself is very nice, and I've found it superior to agenda-type views. You can try the app itself out for free, then decide if you want to pay for it to get the widget.
I don't use a bookmark widget, but live bookmarks is supposed to be pretty good and HTC like (note, it's a live folder, not a widget)

I don't know of any widgets to do this, but I suggest not buying anything. 3.1 has support for re-sizable widgets, should be pushed out in June.

Looking forward to that update for sure, wish they would also add the option of removing/renaming App shortcut names leaving just the icon on your homepage like LP.

Notification Weather is an exceptionally stylish and easy to use app for always staying up to date with the weather forecast.
Notification Weather is specifically designed to be as simple and intuitive as possible. In fact, Notification Weather requires 0 clicks to operate as it runs entirely in the background, thus minimizing impact on battery life or data usage. The forecast is placed directly in the notification dropdown and blends seamlessly with the operating system, leading you to believe it is part of the system.
Notification Weather is using Weather data from some of the best weather sources available including: Open Weather Map, Yahoo! weather, and Weather Bug.
Notification Weather Pro also supports AccuWeather and World Weather Online.
Pro Features:
- A refresh button and progress bar in notification that allows you to refresh the data manually
- Launch your app of choice by tapping the notification.
- 2 extra weather providers: AccuWeather and World Weather Online
- Option to get rid the small notification icon in the status bar
- Option to Swipe the notification to dismiss, until next update.
- Ability to switch between 12/24 hour time format.
- No Ads
Notification Weather Free
Notification Weather Pro
Themes
It's been asked multiple times so I went ahead and created the ability to theme the app. please go to Notification Weather Pro Theme to learn more
Translations
If you would like to help translate Notification Weather to you language, please feel free to help. Any help is appreciated.
Notification Weather now uses getLocalization.com to maintain translations. Please register at http://www.getlocalization.com/NotificationWeather , and help translate Notification Weather to your native language. You can request a new language too, just send me a PM.
Thanks for helping out!

How do I show only the current weather and not the 4 day forecast?
btw, celsius is spelt with 2 's.
Thanks.

oooh nice and clean. keep it up!
using it right now.

This is great. I agree with nyloncrack above, that there should be an option for just the current weather. And also, for the notification icon, it would be much more useful if you had the current temperature instead of that image of a sun. Great app though!

Thanks for the share.Great idea for people that don't want a weather app on the home screen.

Here's the link for those who want to click directly from here: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orbar.NotificationWeather

I'm working on adding more customization options
nice catch on the Celsius typo. new version should be up shortly

looks nice but it's incompatible with my at&t htc one x
*didn't see it was 4.1+

Very good!!!

Great app. Would love the option to disable 4 day forecast. Looking forward to added features!

This is a beautifully made app, congratulations! Just a request, could you add other languages, like Brazilian Portuguese? If you need help with translation I can help you with that!

Another request, can you please let us choose the weather providers? I'd like to use yr.no instead of Yahoo. They have a MUCH more extensive list of cities, especially in small countries like mine. Yahoo only has the capital and about 2-3 cities.
In all cases, thanks A LOT. Just a few days ago I was asking on Twitter if someone knew a weather forecast app that made use of Jelly Bean's notifications. And now, you did it!

A few additions:
1. Maybe add the option to have rain probability for today.
2. German "Umlaute", like ö, ä, ü will not display correctly.
Nice app all in all. I will try it out for a few days and then decide on keeping it or not =)

LOOKS GREAT!!!!
Just what I have been looking for.
For those that don't want 4day forecast, just two finger swipe up on the notification and it will shrink it.
The only suggestion I have: have an option to get rid of icon in status bar.
But looks great man, might I ask where you learned your coding? I would like to get into it.

I like it. Although when I uninstalled it, my phone restarted. GS3 with CM10 nightly.

Looking great, congrats!
As far as I know, you can't get rid of the icon, so it'd be great to have the current temp on it (yes, it has to be an icon resource, so you'll have to generate icons for all possible temps... sucks, I know)

Would you consider sharing the source code? I'm interested in programming a somewhat similar permanent notification widget and really think this could help me out.

Are you running 4.1? this app requires APIs that were introduced with JB.

Google introduced expandable notifications in android 4.1 (jelly bean) so unless they backport it to ICS, I won't be able to release it on ICS.
