Speed dial APP for Nexus one?!

I used to use "Speed dial" on my Mytouch and I have tried it. I also tried the native "direct call" shortcut and they are too small to see.
My phone freaked out and went on the fritz. I go a new one today and that whole "back up my apps" thing didn't work.
I HAD an app on the N1 that let me put like a 2x2 widget/icon on the home screen and when you pushed it it said "Call, Message,Email,etc". I cannot for the life of me find this in the Market. any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Any cut only makes 1x1 icons as well.

..can´t help you, but I would like to have that too - a nice speed dial app for N1

Bump. Anyone have any ideas?

The easiest way to speed dial, is to create shortcuts on the desktop for specific contact phones - the shortcut will also get the contact's image and name, so it easy to work with.
Then, one click, and it calls the contact, without any extra menus/questions.

Please re-read my post. I am currently using that method, but on the Nexus one the icons are so small because of the resolution of the screen. It makes them very hard to see. I am looking for a 2x2 option instead of the default 1x1. Thank you for your reply!

try NubDial from the market.
i am using that on my N1.

Thanks. Looks cool, but not exactly what I'm after.

I personally love the speeddial function in acontacts, but if you already found what you're looking for then that's good. Still, 2x2 on your homescreen is huge

2 x 2 isn't huge on the Nexus. I think it is the resolution. I had one I was using and my first Nexus one crapped out. I sent it back and Android did not back up all of my apps as had hoped so...no gotta. but still, I haven't found one.
Anyone?

Found an app called "Quickdial". Pretty close to what I wanted. I just wish I could make each contact a link or it operated as a widget. Cool app though.

Old School Speed Dialer
You could also try Old School Speed Dialer. With it, you speed dial by just bringing up the dialer, entering the speed dial shortcut number, then hitting call. Saves on home screen space.

We just released a speed dial widget, Sign. Sign will let you you call or text any of your contacts by simply drawing a gesture (signing) directly from your home screen. It also prevents misdials/incidental calls which are more prevalent with direct dial icons. There's more information here.
Anyways, give it a shot and let us know what you think.

Speed Dial in market from CRinUS makes a larger icon you might be able to see. Kinda blurry if you look at it up close though

[REQ] SE Last Call Widget...

I would like to mod the SE Last Calls Widget 3x3 to 4x1 only show 1 last call... is it possible?
and if possible by clicking on contact show what you want to do menu, i refer, see contact, send sms or recall...
Someone can do that? he will be my hero
Thanks... i think its a good idea for our homescreens... xD

I belive that "Last call widget" from market fits your need.

I would like the orginal Widget modded... with contact pic, you understand me??
Sorry im from spain i speak a little english.

Just so you know, the Facebook app only shares contact pictures with native apps (e.g. dialler).
I've avoided adding this feature to Last Call Widget to avoid bad feedback from users who might think that *my* app doesn't show Facebook pictures.

missed it app/minimalistic text question

any way to incorporate minimalistic text with sms unread or to make the app missed it to open applications
I like missed it a lot however i don't like how it's not able to be clicked. like i have minimalistic text set up on my homescreen to read messages and when i click on it, it goes to messages obviously
but anyway to add it so unread bubble is over minimalistic text or a way to make missed it clickable. i see they have a setting for applications but don't know how to use that
i've created photoshop icons that say messages, however for the unread count widget, it's the one size and that's too small for me so looking for any way to do this if at all possible

Not to my knowledge. Ofcourse I've only been playing with them for about a week each. Hopefully someone else can chime in and help ya. Took me forever to get the Minimalistic widget set up, lol.

yeah there's so much that app can do, and missed it app is very similar just wish it could open an application like minimalistic can do
and sms unread does open the app, just doesn't look nearly as good as the other two apps
hmm, there's got to be a way but yeah, i'm hooked to minimalistic text

I know this is already and old-ish thread, but if you're still looking to do this: I think LauncherPro allows you to stack widgets.. So you might be able to put an empty MinimalisticText widget (no background and link to the application) over the MissedIt! widget.
I haven't really tried LauncherPro though, only read about it.. So I may be wrong, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that it can stack widgets. I can't find the exact link now, but I think it was something posted in the Post your Screenshots thread.
Edit: Uh.. I just bought Missed It! from the Market, and there's an option in the settings to launch the application associated with any notification being shown (version 1.5.3), so it looks like you don't need to use MinimalisticText to create links. But anyway, guess that option is still there anyway.

You can get SMS unread (and about a million other things) in MTW using Tasker

Tasker looks cool, but in my local currency it costs R47.49 (ZAR) compared to MissedIt at R7.03. Pretty big price difference for simply displaying an unread notification count on your launcher home screen...

My Gmail is`nt working with Missed It, I have the account added or what not but when e-mails come in, it does`nt show on Missed It, any ideas?

Recommended Mail App

Hey all I've been on Android for a little under a year now and if there's one thing I don't like, it's been the e-mail experience. I can't find any mail app outside of the ridiculously priced Maildroid Pro that has what I'm looking for (and I don't even think what I'm looking for is unreasonable!).
Here's what I'm looking for in a mail app:
- Non-ugly icon (I'm looking at you K-9)
- Clean interface
- Support for both Hotmail and GMail with no issues and push notification (Evomail)
- Loads all images in e-mails by default, or at least with the option to turn this feature on (a lot of apps don't)
- Has an informative widget that displays the subject and brief bit of the body in it (SolMail has a useless widget that displays too little info and Evomail has NO widget unbelievably)
I'd be perfectly happy with the default Mail and GMail app (either or) on my Nexus 4 if it wasn't for the fact that neither of them display images automatically, and I have to click on "show all images" all the time. It's annoying. I'm not sure why all this is so difficult, especially when I had no problems with e-mail when I was on iOS. Is there anything anyone can recommend?

I saw that, but it doesn't help with my Hotmail account, and I want it all with one app. Any other recommendations?

In that case, I join your question, my main account is hotmail also, lol

I always end up going back to the good old gmail app.

The latest version of [email protected] Mail works brilliantly for me. I believe is covers everything you have asked for.

It seemed so, until I noticed that my Hotmail doesn't get pushed properly. I need both. Or am I not choosing certain settings correctly?

I am not having issues with my hotmail getting pushed.... It might be something to do with the settings being used.I am using pop3.live.com on port 995.
Don't know if this will help. I think I also had to make a change in the hotmail settings also but can't remember where that was sorry.

When I changed the IMAP server settings to read pop3.live.com, and port 995, it couldn't connect to the server?

You may need to look up the other settings required. I know there are more but that was all I could remember off the top of my head. I don't have my tablet here to check sorry.

Hi, as a SolMail Team, we want to improve the widget for you~ So, what's your opinion of perfect size of widget (with subject and brief bit of the body)? 1x1 or 4x2 is a little bit small, isn't it? Thanks for your opinion!

The default Mail and GMail app's style of widget is all I need. Subject, brief lines of body, done. The lines of the body should be changeable by the user. I actually use 5 rows of icons with Nova Launcher and would prefer 5x4, but as long as it's resizable just like the stock app I'm fine with it.

oops, sorry for late update.
We added resizable and scrollable widget on SolMail.(actually it's 2.0 update on May). It can be extended to the tablet size!
Thank you for your valuable suggestion.

I'm using Cloudmagic now, so far I have liked it. The only downside for you could be that the widget is quite simplistic. Anyway for me it works because I usually use the notification area to peek at new mails.
Oh and is really beautiful.

Wearable Widgets for Gear 2

Wearable Widgets (beta) for Gear 2 is just out on the Samsung store. You can now use any mobile widget to show up on Gear 2 screen. The feature is really great and you can also control the widget from gear 2 like pass touch inputs to phone.
I have enabled zooper widget and use it to show time and weather and call tasker objects.
It is a bliss on Gear 2
Check it out.

Awesome
This is a GREAT app!

Awesome app! One of the most useful apps available. Thanks!

SUPER ! ..Can I just add one widget?

Awesome. I installed it immediately. Off course for Tasker. I use Launch-X widget in which i create the shortcuts. But i find it to slow, especially when the phone is off.
I also used it to display my tasks, so i could read and fill in the items into another task app. Of the first section it was perfect. But when the screen of the watch is off and turned on again, the widget is reset for the first items. Not to the last scrolled position.

You can add only one widget per device..
I use zooper to add only my functions as a single widget.. Calendar, time , date , battery life and tasker icons

I can not open the widget on my watch anymore. It is saying "Unable to connect. Do you have Wearable Widgets on your phone?"
Already rebooted my watch AND my phone. Still the same.

Uninstall then reinstall from Gear Manager.
Here's mine so far

Works great. Will you be able to add the ability to have more than one widget per device? It would be nice to be able to scroll through at least 4 or 5 of them. Thanks for the hard work.

If you read the first post, you'd know the dev of this app isn't the OP. To answer your question though, the dev left this on G+
"Clarification for Gear 1 & 2 owners: Currently, the Wearable Widgets app has two editions, both with a significant limitation:*
• The one available through Google Play (including this beta group) does not support Gear 1 & 2 devices.
• The one you can download through Samsung's app store (including via the Gear Manager app) only supports a single widget at a time.
The reasons for this are complicated, but are generally due to a number of restrictions that Samsung has put in place. We are working to develop a solution to both of these issues, and will release it as soon as we can - but for now, this is how things stand, I'm afraid.
Thank you for your understanding, and your patience."

Just change the setting for what is shown on wake to last app / screen.

That means I need to go to the wearable widgets app continually before I am 'done' doing whatever I'm doing

The developer has indicated they are working on the ability to make this a watch face. I am looking forward to that update.

This just rocked my world... I don't know why I didn't think of that. Duh. Thank you.

Thank You
That's great, Thank You.

As I've been using it - I actually don't mind having it not be the main watchface. What I've done instead is make it accessible from one of the 9 shortcuts from the Multi-Watch "swipe-up" launcher panel. That way I can still have the customizable watchfaces of multi-watch, but when I want I can launch an info panel widget that has time, date, watch battery level, currently connected wifi SSID, current weather w/ 5-day forecast AND my next 3 calendar appointments. Using a customized Zooper widget for this. I've made a request to Zooper to allow adding Google tasks list items and the phone's volume state to a widget.
