[Q] Custom launcher Quick Contacts widget not shown - Motorola Droid 3

As the title says.
I'd like to use a custom launcher the blur one is a little laggy. But I love the "Quick Contacts" widget.
But when installing launcher ex or launcher pro it doesn't show. It's there but can't see it. Anyone else had this???

Like you, I LOVE that widget, however, there is yet no way to get it to work in any launcher besides the stock blur

Ugh. That sucks. Hope it will be fixed soon :-(

Go launcher pro has a widget similar to the stock contact widget and you can size it the way you like.

I know I know. But it's for sure not as amazing . If I size it the same it takes a whole screen. The moto one is just awesome. Snifffff

True. It doesn't pull down like the stock one.

Yeah, the stock one is really pretty, animated, and only takes up one line of screen when you don't need it.

Stock Froyo launcher on JI6?

Has anyone been able to get the stock launcher working? My test with an apk yanked off Google didn't work.
Don't tell me to use LauncherPro or ADW. I like stock launchers and the like, and have used and hated both before. Hence why I can't wait for an AOSP of this. Silver top bar ftw.

Zeam issues.

So im new to the nook and zeam. Not new to rooting or android.......but seeing how i love and use sense ui on my Evo i do have a few questions.
I don't know if these are zeam launcher related or just a bi product of the rooted nook but i cannot get any picture frame widget to work.
When i go to add item>widget>select either the stock picture frame or any of the market downloaded ones>takes me to the gallary to select a photo...after i crop that's it...it doesn't add or anything...
And also
When i longpress home screen in zeam and select add item/shortcut it just reloads the homescreen....i have to open the app drawer and longpress the app shortcut i want to place in the homescreen.
Do i need to uninstalll/reinstall?
Thanks for any and all help!

Might have something to do with the Nook not handeling "shortcuts" properly. Maybe.

i think you may be right....i really prefer zeam over ADW and Launcher Pro, so i guess if that is the issue, i wont even bother a switch and just deal with it.
Yeah...just to check I tried it on mine (running LaunPro) and it didn't work for me either.

That's the way you add things to the home screens with Zeam. If I recall that's also the way you add things to the home screen in Launcher Pro on the NC too.
Thanks guys for the help....
Anyone have any idea on the picture frame Widgets?

Senselike Calendar and E-mail Widgets?

I bought this phone for the hardware... but man do I miss the Sense UI.
Found and purchased Fancy Widgets for the homescreen clock and weather, but still looking for the calendar and email widgets.
Any pointers on some sense-like widgets?
I would look into Launcher Pro Plus in the market. There are some themed widgets that go along with it.
Beautiful widgets are a great substitute for the weather widget from sense.

Android Pro Widgets are top notch.

Yup these are nice
Thanks for the input. There is some nice stuff out there, you've just got to look for it I guess. Spent hours searching for what came stock with HTC.
Time will tell if the hardware on this phone is worth it, or if I should have stuck it out and waited for the Vigor.

Nemus Launcher!

Crazy fast and smooth, light weight. could use a couple of more options, but thought Id let you guys know if you were looking for a new launcher, its good.
Is this in the market?
Yeah, its awesome!
yup in the market
Running it now, prolly the best launcher I've ever used

between this and the arc launcher.
Thanks for the heads up on this launcher...very nice!
I like it, and I really like how icon press highlight isn't a gigantic box.
Sweet launcher!

I love it. It's definitely fast, and I like how you can change the app drawer to scroll vertically instead of having to swipe side to side.
meh. The icons changing grey while scrolling in the app drawer is annoying. Dock is fugly and can't edit it to 3 (without plus signs) or disable all together. Built in task manager doesn't show all "running" apps so that's pointless. Just lacks the in depth options that adw ex has that I like. Might check it out again after 7 updates .
good day.
went back to ics 4.0... too many wake locks.
Did anybody else notice that if you swipe up on the dock in the home screen it flips up to show a lock button and settings button? The lock locks out your apps you have set with a password in the launcher settings,i thought this was cool

[Q] HTC One Scrolling wallpapers

Has the scrolling wallpaper simply vanished, or did I miss the memo? My original Motorola Droid can still scroll wallpapers, and my terrible Samsung Droid Charge could right up to the second to last update. Fully expected the One to have this feature, but it seems to be missing/buried/disabled. Was this feature deemed too processor intense and abandoned? Did Google just decide it was ugly, or is there some other reason scrolling wallpapers would be disappearing from Android?
It's a Sense thing. Install a different launcher like Nova or Apex and there you can find scrolling background in the settings.

Apparently it's a touchwiz thing too, then. Why can't they just leave that option in and let users decide?
Well, if I get tired of this launcher I just may try out Nova and Apex. I've heard of them and have wondered how they compared to launchers that have been around longer like Launcher Pro.
There's an app called landscape wallpaper, it makes the wallpaper scrollable again
