[Request] widget to open phone log

Sorry if this the wrong forums.
I'd really like a shortcut to phone log I can add to the static part of the screen.
I hardly ever use the phone to dial, just calling old numbers, is there any way to get this?
(Yes I realize it's incredibly lazy not to want to open phone and tap the log section, but that's why I got android, it makes it posible to skip unnessesary steps like this.)
Very happy if someone can help or know an app that does this?
Thanks

EASY!

Howdy Dude,
if you are running ADW you can.
1. long press on desktop
2. select add custom shortcut
3. press pick activity
4. press activities
5. scroll down to contacts
6. expand contacts, then find
7. call log(.callslist.RecentCallsListActiviy)
8. press ok and the shortcut will be on one of your home screens
it's prety cool it doesn't show the 4 buttons at the botom just the list on the screen.
you can do this on most launchers from the market i think. i use adw tho so yeah.
hope that helps.
Pvy.

Sorry, forgot to say, I'm on wolfbreaks 3.9.0 as of right about now.
You think it's posible to use adw with this rom?
Thanks
Edit, it does and it's amazing, I can even get a 100% clean home screen, very happy with this, thanks a lot!

Is there a stock launcher without the search bar?

I have used the Nova Launcher that has an option to remove the quick search bar and it doesn't leave any unused space like cm9 does! It actually gives me more space for more apps or a 4X1 widget..
I can't believe Google forced this stupid search bar on us even though we already have a search button that eliminates its purpose..
Anyway is there a way to get the STOCK launcher just without the search bar?
Thanks!

The search bar in the newer Nova Launchers is implentented as a widget, so if you deactivate it and delete the search bar you have your unused space free for widgets or shortcuts.

You can disable the search bar on stock launcher
go to manage apps
in ALL apps, find and select Google search
There is an option to disable
However after it is disabled, the space can't be used for placing shortcuts or widgets like what you said. I am still looking for a way to eliminate the restirction.

I don't c what the big deal is with that search bar...I doesn't bother me..even on GB that lil bit of space was unusable anyway...and its not like it looks bad or anything..atleast that's my opinion..

In CyanogenMods ICS-launcher there is also a option to disable the search-bar. Just google for Trebuchet.apk or extract it from a cm9 rom like me. Im using it with stock ICS, and it works just lika a stock launcher, just with the cm9 preferences
Edit: sorry, probably not what you're looking for..

Well...you do you see a deticated search button on the GN?
Google made it for the GN. Also....,he search button is lovely....it gibes it a nice google Android feel. Why take it out. The home screen is still 4*4 so what's your problem?
Here is how it goes....
If you don't like the search bar you don't like Android.
If you don't like Android you don't like google.
If you don't like google...you don't common sense.
If you don't have common sense...you don't have a brain.
If you don't have a brain you like the iphone....
If you like iPhone you must be mental.
If you are mental..you will kill Obama.
If you kill Obama people will blame china and Russia.
If that happens ww3 will start.
If ww3 starts your we will all die from an atomic bomb....
In short... either love the search bar....or gtfo of androids life.
PS. I know Android is open source and is meant for people to change it...but still....don't hate on the search bar

Probably for people like you to stop *****ing about the search bar. Some of us actually like it. **gasp**

So... How to disable the search bar. There is a simple solution. Go to settings, app settings, all apps, look for google search. Disable it. Ta damm, your search bar vanished. There is a thing though... If you do this, the capacitive search button also won't work in launcher. But long press (voice recognition, SMS, screen rotation or whatever you set there) will keep working. Of course u can reenable google search again, and everything is restored.

[Q] Volume to control media

I've been searching this forum all day and can't find an answer.I'm trying to set it so that holding my volume rocker will skip tracks when listening to music. Tweaked ROM had this feature, but I was one if the unfortunate that wad having hotboot issues. I'm sure my phone not the ROM, but either way I had to go back to eclipse. I really miss that feature and want to get it back.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA

It takes a number of smali edits. For what it's worth - I plan on putting together a less-modded variant of tweaked (minus music widget and maybe some lockscreens) in the near future, so hopefully those that had problems with tweaked will find more stability with the less-modded spin on it.

Thanks for the quick reply.i figured it was something more complicated then just editing key layout.for what its worth I went back to tweaked. I missed my control and customization. Great rom! Hey do you know how to get swype from eclipse I liked the one touch to bring up corrections and the horizontal word suggestions

I could be wrong but that is likely the newer beta version that's out. I'm actually not fully sure the process to go about getting that, but I believe it requires signing up for it in some way. I'm sure someone else more knowledgeable could chime in here

I concur with dwitheral it sounds like you just need the newest version of swype.. go hurr http://beta.swype.com/android/create/ to sign up for Swype beta. It will send a link to your email where you can download swype-installer.apk or whatever its called, you can do it through your phone so use the email you have linked to your charge. Then it'll give you the usual straight forward installation wizard to choose settings/languages etc.. and Ta Da, just activate it through settings>keyboard and choose it as the input method. Installing it this way will also let you get notifications (if you want) to update the swype keyboard when they patch improvements.

[Q] Can Mini Apps be edited/changed?

Hello All,
Just a quick question... can the mini apps at the bottom be changed to use other apps? I called Sammy tech support and they said I'd have to check w/Google since it's built into the ICS OS. I find this odd because I've checked other tabs at Worst (Best) Buy and they didn't have this mini-app tray.
I want to use other apps in its place. I wonder why when you view the mini apps you'll see an "edit" icon, however, when you click on it, everything is greyed out so you cannot edit or switch-out the mini-apps.
Thanks!

I believe this is a TouchWiz feature, and my understanding is that you cannot use other apps. Only the ones provided by Samsung.

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that lets you add and remove the existing quick apps. Also, it probably isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone could develop a quick app and it would appear, but I bet there isn't a whole bunch of people building these quick apps.

+1. I think your take on this is as accurate as it can get.

Give Apex launcher a try if you dislike touchwiz. I can't stand touchwiz.

Mini Apps is built into the status bar, not the launcher. it will always be there.

Hate it...i wish i could get rid of the miniapps, sometimes it pressed accidentally and bug my gaming time

If Olny some1 develope mini app for the notes that would be great for ppl who read and like to write quick notes, If Only....

install gmd gesturecontrol to hide the status bar
You wont press any mini apps accidently then. Also when you press edit you double click on a mini app to add/remove it.

You can remove them, they annoyed me so I got rid by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692173
Obviously make a back-up before deleting the suggested files if you feel you may want thm back at some point (not that I did )!

App for double-tap-Home-button-to launch app for ICS LPY roms?

this is the one function I really miss with LPY. In fact its such a big deal for me I'm not switching to ICS just so I can have the double-tap-home-button functionality!
Is there a corresponding mod or app I can use for this, in the LPY roms?

There's Advanced Home Button that I used to use on my SGS1
You can give it a shot

More than likely will not work

yeah reading the reviews looks like a lot of people have problems with it. anybody tried with any of the LPY roms yet? Could you let us know if it worked if you've tried it on the ICS LPY roms? thanks in advance!

the other one to try is this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299923
can somebody try and lemme know if this works on LPY?

what do you mean double tap home? Im on LPY ics and when I double tap my home button the Voice talk starts up. I swear when I was GB it did the same thing with the Tap & Speak or say "Hi Galaxy".

yeah actually thats what I was wondering exactly. with double-tap home button I tried Criskelo's ICS and nothing happens. COuld you try that homemyhome app I posted above and see if it is able to replace the Vilingo/Voice Talk app, to start up a different app?
ps. please do necessary backups first

I would love to help with that but unfortunately I did not go with the rooted method for LPY, at the time it seemed a little too risky. I did try to install anyway but of course without success as it shows there is an apk with the same signature

think you've to uninstall the Vilingo/Voice Talk app for that to work. thanks for trying anyway.
