Did a quick search, found nothing to answer my question.
I'm wondering if there's an app, specifically a 4x1 widget, that I can use to update my status on social networking sites. I'm not interested in reading other peoples updates (I'll go into the appropriate app for that); I simply want something akin to the google search bar.
So far the best thing I've found is TweetDeck, but it's far from the prettiest duckling. Before anyone mentions it, 'Simple Status Widget' is a ghastly, low-res pop-up.
If there's nothing knocking around then I guess I'll try my hand at making one
[EDIT] I should say that Google + is a fine, though not quite perfect example of what I seek. I mean, why give me a text box if tapping it only takes me to a new screen?

To all the guru's here, how can I get a home icon on the top bar. This way I can tap on it and go to the today screen. I know about wisbar, but don't want to use it for personal reasons. I know I can create a shortcut for a key using quickmenu and a gester using wktask but I just want a simple home icon (like wisbar or WA) in the top bar. Anyone have any ideas please?
Well, i don't know about the home icon, but maybe you'll find vjTodayButton useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=243235&highlight=todaybutton
You map it to a hardware button. Now, when you press (and hold) this button, you see the Today screen. When you release it, you are returned to the app you were previously in - IMO much more useful than anything that takes you to the home screen aln leaves you there...
Not quite what I need. If the icon is in the today bar, then it is available in any program I run. This allows me to switch to the today screen with only on tap. When I am finished then I can click on the wktask name/icon header to get back to where I was. I know I'm being a little ridiculous with this, but for speed and ease, this is the best option for me.
I know someone has to have an idea. This forum is to large and great for only one person to try and help out.
Well, maybe try editing your first post and use a bit more descriptive topic subject.
Messages titled with some nondescriptive name like "Need some assistance...", "help needed", "can i do this?", etc... often get ignored... It's really hard to check every single such message to often find out that they concern something you have no idea about.
But something like "How to put a shortcut in the top menubar" might just catch the eye of someone who actually knows the answer...
Just as the point 2 of the rules says:

While you're at it, take your time to read trough them - they're not here because the admin was bored and decided to write something - their goal is to make forum browsing a bit easier - really.
Just about right said:

I am using iLauncher from SBSH, this gives you what you want, at a price though.
Hi all.
Kind of new to this all, and just fumbling my way through everything.
I have ThrottleLauncher loaded on my AT&T Tilt, along with Touchflow3d (and TFlow3D_gullum)
And after seeing the youtube clip on the .9 beta and what it can do, I am finding that I cannot get my phone to really respond in all the ways that I'm seeing in the video. Maybe Im missing some plugins or something else, but here are some questions:
First is the main toolbar at the bottom. Whenever I touch it and want to slide it around to get to specific icons, it doesnt really rotate, it just kind of slides a bit and then activates something. I'm not able to scroll around on it unless I use the directional pad on the phone. Also, is it possible to 'replace' programs that launch with the icons? For example, instead of the Phone's contacts launching, can I get it to launch my 'Good' software contact list? Or with the music player, I am using FlipSlide. Can the music icon be reset to launch Flipside instead of the windows media player?
Can those icons on the bottom be put in any specific order?
I also see in the .9 beta video, that you can flip the middle of the screen by the clock to see different clock views or appointments, etc... Not sure which version or theme that is.
I guess my biggest question is how do I get the bottom toolbar to actually scroll instead of activating things, and can that bottom bar be customized to point to other apps?
Thanks.
If I'm posting this in the wrong spot, please let me know.
I like how I can make a shortcut of a certain person on your homescreen, but I don't like how I can rename it on the homescreen. For instance...my home phone and wife's cell is under one contact, so when I make the shortcut they both say the same thing. So I'm curious if there's an app or widget that would keep the similar style but allow me to rename it on the homescreen.
file this in the 1 of 2 things that do not exist for some unknown reason.
A good contact widget and a google voice widget are just non existent, IMO. I am not a developer in the least, so I think we are stuck wishing or settling for apps like:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/br.livroandroid.widget.contatos
I think it does what you want, sort of, but it just doesn't "LOOK GOOD"
This one looks better, but still not what I was wanting....
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.phonepony.frequentcontacts
Maybe?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.moxier.swiftcontacts
Or you can just buy Launcher Pro, as it comes with an awesome contact widget (same as HTC Sense basically).
There was a "contact widget" that is very similar to this and I don't like it. Just looking for something that shows the profile pic and I can rename to "Home" or "Wife's Cell" instead of two instances of "Wife"
BetterCut solution?
You can do this with BetterCut ($1.99 in the market)... you can set up a direct dial shortcut and select wife cell # change the label to whatever you want, e.g. "wife cell" or "wife work", and choose an icon for it including a photo you've taken (make sure you crop the photo you want square first or it will distort when used as the icon)...
What I am not sure of is if there is anyway to tie it too the friendstream facebook or G-mail icon though...
Hope this helps you though
PS... anyone know how many posts I need in order to link or avoid the 5 min between post n00b restrictions? Obviously I can search for this too, just curious.
I just came across this. Thanks!!

I have never found an answer to this question, but I think it's actually a forum-wide rule, perhaps to prevent server overload. I still have search restrictions. For me, it just gives me time to review all of my results.
Hi,
since i updated to ICS there is no Buddy Widget on my Note.
Have anybody a idea to solve this?
Thx & Rgds
MyPass
Hey...glad i'm not alone with this, i also miss the buddy thing and can't stand the new one with the useless grey bar next to it.
That bar is even more useless cuz i don't use any social media platforms thus that grey bar only displays my contacts name, which i obvious already know...lol....
I found nothing similar in the market, nor am i able to use the old GB widget.
Been on it for a few days then gave up, so i'm curious if anybody has a good alternative or even better...managed to port the old GB one.
Seems to be we are alone ;-(
i´m still searching for a solution or replacement
Why don't you create a shortcut to your contacts?
Yes, the shortcut is possible, but the picture is only the half size in comparision to the buddy widget ;-(
Hi everybody. I would like to give an idea here, in case someone with the coding skills I lack may went to give this a go.
I find myself going into google now's feed by swiping to the left. The design of the latest version is in fact very pleasing, with rounded corners and transparencies that let you see the background in between the cards. I would like to suggest making that the home page, so when you tap the home button, you are directed there. But, that can be done already, you might think. Yes, but I would like the dock to stay where itnis, and be able to put folders in it. So your homepage would look like a mix of the normal homepage, but instead of the icons in the main are, it would be google nows feed. Am I asking the impossible? Or have I missed some xposed or otherwise way to don't? Thanks for reading this far. I appreciate the work the deva put into making android the ecosystem it is today.
