I hate the MyFaves contact widget. I want to find the stock HTC People Widget for a contacts widget. Can anyone help. I've searched for the APK with no luck so far. I've tried many contact widgets and nothing that just works well.

the sense widgets only work for sense and not vanilla, there are some alts on the market though.
I think he meant replacing the faves widget on our espresso sense with the contact widget that's on standard sense. You need to use a 2.1 sense rom which we do have floating around the development section and replace the apk but I don't think that would work or it would have been done by now

can anyone tell me if the people and twitter widgets can be integrated into either one of these new ROMs?
ive flashed motoblur but dont really like the way everything is like an rss feed with the happenings app
so i was thinking if i could install either widget and use them instead
or are they tied to the framework and are specific to hero?
thanks!
they are tied to hero framework. if they were portable without extreme difficulty...it would have been done by now
With the atk app there is a widget you can place on the home screen that when pressed, instantly kills the active apps. The problem is, its kind of small and looks out of place with my theme, but I cant seem to find a way to change it. I'd like to be able to use a custom icon with desktop visualizer or something to be able to activate the widget's functions, but I can't figure it out.
ps, I don't want this to turn into a debate about whether or not to use a task killer, try to stay on topic.

You really don't need an app..... joking.
I've REALLY been wanting to know this as well. Likewise, it does not fit my theme or icons at all. It's the only out of place icon throughout all my homescreens.
I am also trying to do this, so I should probably add to the list of people and hopefully someone has a solution.
I'm using ADW and tried the custom shortcut but I can't find the activity that carries out what the widget does.
Any of the task manager activities just bring me into the app, rather than a direct autokill.
Also, I don't know if there is an android system activity for it, because I can't seem to find that either.
That's all I can contribute from my efforts anyway..
you'd have to do an adb decomile or winrar whatever then change the icon for the widget and resign the file. there are already versions floating around where people have done this already do some looking around...
Really? I've searched and came up with nothing, just back to here really, or other people asking the same thing..
If you had a link then that'd be handy, if not then thanks for the hint on a starting point..
I can change the icon for any application!

Yes,man!I already did different icons for widget actions!
I've done this before. All you need to do is rename the .apk to .zip and open it in your PC. Navigate to the icon image, replace with yours, rename the zip to apk push it to /system/app, fix permissions... dunsky.

I never thought of that, I'll do that now..
And while you're here, you might know..
since you can't put a widget in a dock bar, is there way to assign the same widget function to a desktop shortcut?
Similar to the activities in adw launcher..

I tried about 9 different launchers and really felt most comfortable with LiveHome. Not only did it squash Bing it gave me options to make it as simple or complex as I wanted it. Instead of pissing and moaning about the long wait for Froyo .. I decided to make my Fascinate bearable until then.
isnt that LauncherPro?
No it is LiveHome .. I mean it works pretty much exactly like LauncherPro .. Better drawer options, built it task manager, icon manager and it will load ADW themes ..
You work for LiveHome?
No I do not
Sounds like a sales pitch to me lol

I don't run anything with a built in task manager if I can help it.

It's alright :/ Animations aren't quite as smooth as they are on LP or ADW... but the desktop transition effects are pretty damn sweet. I'll stick with what I had before.
They just took ADW.Launcher and changed it a bit. ADW EX is much better than this. Me, I'll stick with LauncherPro Plus.
google search still goes through bing right?
I installed the apk posted in another thread .. I think it tells the Google widget to route to Google in the browser .. not sure .. but it works ..

Um...huh? That's like saying the Ford assembly line is producing Chevys. Google search is Google search.
And btw, why did the OP need to use that specific launcher? As far as I know, any launcher other than the stock Touchwiz one will allow to put the Google search widget back on your homescreens, as soon as you remove the Bing apk file and install the Google Enhanced Search apk that was ripped from the Vibrant ROM. At that point, the search softkey and voice search is all Google again, with any launcher other than Touchwiz.
The only other problem is that the search function in the stock browser still uses Bing, which no launcher will change, but there is a de-binged browser apk available as well, or you can install a third party browser. There are many browsers that are infinitely better than the stock one, regardless of search engine preference.

Please,
I need an information and, if that's possible some apk or link where download from.
Is it possible to install the HTC Calendar apk and the HTC Calendar widget apk on an Android ROM sense-less?
I've the last Android MIUI 1.4.15 on my HD2 and it's fantastic: the only thing I need from my previously Android Sense ROM is the HTC Calender and its widget.
But I've no idea if I can install something from HTC without Sense and its frameworks.
If all is not possible, can anybody suggest me some Calendar app with widget similar or better the HTC's one?
Thanks

i dont think so. i could be wrong though. been searching for long. no result.
for calendar. pure calendar widget gives a similar look to the original sense one. u can get it from android market.
Not possible. For all HTC related programs you need the HTC framework, which is obviously not part of any Sense-less ROM.
Well I unknowingly deleted an obviously vital apk from my HTC Shift and I was wondering if any of you know where I can download the apk for the HTC calendar or whatever calendar that I need in order for any calendar widgets that I download from the market to work.
I switched to the Liberty Rom which is awesome, but I loved my stock motoblur calendar and keyboard. Does anyone know how to find them or get them back?
Steve
calendar .apk here, keyboard don't have ready yet
Sweet, thanks!
Wont install... what am I doing wrong?
non market app's allowed to install in your settings?
that's the only thing I can think of
No, I can install non market apps, I wonder if its the Liberty Rom. I tried to restore my calendar through Titanium and it wouldn't do it either. Oh well, I downloaded a different calendar which I am okay with for now.
Steve
could be, I know a lot of these blur items require other parts of blur to work
