Is anyone else having issues with the quick contacts widget in alternate launchers? My other stock blur widgets work in Go Launcher except this one. Running Theory's ROM 1.2 if that makes a difference.
Doesn't work for me either in Go Launcher.
I was wondering the same thing. I swear I saw a post stating that the moto blur widgets worked with alternate launchers, but I cant get this widget to work with ADW, LPP or GO launcher.
I like that widget a lot.
Bump... has anyone had any success with getting this to work properly? I actually liked the stock contacts app for the short time I was running the stock launcher.
It would seem it adds the widget, but it's invisible and doesn't function... I am able to long press and delete it with go launcher.
Still no dice in Go Launcher. On the other hand, I have been using this lately and am really liking it.

It actually automatically fills up with contacts based on how recently/frequently you interact with them, pretty nice if you ask me.
Its a blur app and u need the blurred launcher.

That is not true. Other blur widgets work outside of the blur launcher. Also, this widget shows in the list of available widgets from other launchers but when you add it (in my exerience on Go Launcher) it adds an empty space to your screen that you can't say unless you try to put another widget down as it will say the spot is occupied already. You can delete the empty spot though.
Any update on this issue or do those who use alternate launchers just out of luck with this widget?
+1 you need a blur launcher its built into /system/apps it like having a razor blur camera and downloading it and won't work correctly at least from what I have read over the months on alt launcher you pick the widget and it won't even be visable

I love this widget in LP, but I've kind of grown attached to Zeam recently. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a similar app that will do what the friend widget does.
There is a widget in the pure series, I think it's called Pure Messenger, but it is a paid app.

Colorize widget is about the closest that you'll get to lp style widgets, but there's no friends widget in it, just facebook/twitter/contacts and some others.
Both good suggestions. Thanks. Trying out Colorized now. I'm going to look some more into Pure as well.
colorized is almost exactly the same as the lp widgets with the exception of the "friends" one missing. And, the agenda(calendar) on the newest version works like a charm for me.
sorry bad post....
Try "photo contacts widget", its almost exactly the same as LP contacts.
I have a Motorola Defy, but I'm using a different, non-official ROM, that comes with Launcher Pro. My question is, if I can switch my dock to the Motoblur dock, since I really like it.
Thanks for your answers.
Can't be done. The dock is tied to the launcher app, therefore you must use Motorola's launcher app, not launcherpro.
Also please post in the suitable section next time. This is a subforum for themes

Thanks for the answer, and sorry for posting here..
If your using Launcher Pro you can just get a dock that looks like motoblur and apply it in the preferences.
I would check out HELauncher. When installed, press menu, and click customize. Navigate to Blur or Ninja (not sure which runs on the Defy) and press Apply. The motoblur style is from the newer versions, not like the Devour and Cliq.

Just choose the custom dock background & set the 2 left shortcuts to phone & the two right to messaging with the middle set as an app drawer all withe the custom transparent icon.

Yeah but the problem is, that in Launcher Pro you can only use their own icon for the app drawer..
I'll try the HeLauncher, thanks
Edit: Nevermind, I succeeded doing that with Launcher Pro, I took the dock that lesa gave me (thanks lesa) and in the 2 right spots I put contacts applications with a 72x72 icon that I made, that is actually nothing, a png file so you cant even see it, same with the 2 left ones and the middle
Thanks!

Terranalon, please, write in few words how did you succeed with this dockbar in LauncherPro :good:
hi guys
i used to use launcherpro, but since the stock launcher on superaosp is amazing enough, i stopped using it
however the one thing i missed is the sense style calendar...
anyone got any alternatives?
i tried jorte and business calendar... both need to enter the program to edit the event which ... prefer it to launch into google calendar..
i also miss the simple switch between agenda and calendar....
anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks
Android agenda widget is a good one

Colorize widget is exactly what you are looking for. The free version is just like Sense. The paid version gives you some pretty cool theme support, but that is totally up to you.
Colorize Widget
Edit - Wait, I forgot that colorize only works on launchers with scroll widget support. Will not work on stock launcher.
Pure Calendar Grid is super awesome
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxLT0ikSgiM
I really like the widgets for an app called Business Calendar. It has all the functions of the original calendar but a bigger selection of widgets.
Colourize widget looks good but yeah no scrollable support.
What a shame
Prefer not to pay for a widget
I had use business calendar
I NP have niggling complaint that the transition from widget to calendar us not as smooth. I.e. you have to go into the calendar then add new event and so on. Whereas launcherpro one you gets straight to adding new event...
I'm just nit picking

no scroll
Stock GB launcher doesn't have widget scrolling. ADW or LPP allow for that. Unless of course the app includes arrows you can tap to scroll up or down
Pure Calendar (not Grid). Supports color schemes and scrolling.

Is it possible to change the dock shortcuts?
If so, how?
(i dont want ADW eller launcher pro (paid for both)
Have you tried Go Launcher EX? Completely free, stable and quick. Have it on mine and works a treat. Can then change what apps launch. So I have Opera as my browser, Go Dialer as my phone.
Thx bro, but maby I was not clear enough..
*i DO NOT want any other launcher than the stock one*
(at least until someone can tell me its not possible to change the dock shortcuts )
But thanks anyway, i know and have tried a lot of the homelaunchers, but it just like the stock one, i like the appdrawer where things are sortet in 2 groups, included apps, and downloaded apps.. also arranged alphabeticaly.. makes it much easier to find stuff
its not possible, maybe with some hard coding?
Oh well... ADW it is then

I know what you mean the appdrawer was one of the things I liked about the stock launcher as well.
Go Launcher has the ability to group programs into folders, which makes it easier for me. Doesn't look as nice as stock but works just as well.
Not sure if the other launchers also do this
I'm sure it's possible to change by editing LGLauncher.apk.
I don't have the knowledge or time to look into it though..
I couldn't stop myself having a quick look into the apk.
DockingMenu.smali has a lot of references to some dragging and dropping, did anyone even try draggin new applications onto the dock?
In stock launcher just go into the app list, select edit and drag into the dock whatever app you need.

Lets hear what launcher you are using, why you are using it, and any negatives that there might be about it . I'll start:
I'm currently using Aviate Launcher because of looks and simplicity. Icons are smaller and you can use Icon Packs to change the look of stock icons. It knows when I am home travelling, at work, shops and restaurants, and even morning and night time, and changes based on what apps are most relavent for those situations. It also will create "collections" of apps depending on what type of app it is. For example under my Entertainment category I have Netflix, YouTube, Flixter, HBO Go and The CW in the main view and I can expand the category to see even more apps such as IMDb and Eventbrite. These collections can be modified, added or removed. It also has all of my apps listed in alphabeticle order on the far right screen for apps that might not be in a specific category. I'll update this post with screenshots for those who are curious to the look of it.
Not sure why I couldn't edit my original post to add pics from the mobile app...

I am using nova for it is the best battery friendly launcher out there. Not only that but also that the performance and speed is unbeatable than any other launcher. I currently am running it with mador icon pack with black wallpaper in order to save battery. I have tried tons of launchers out there in the play store and occasionally revert to aviate launcher too.
How I have my phone set up with nova launcher
Xperia 206b
Best app drawer sorting & more.
A minor bug where upon uninstalling an app from this drawer the launcher crashes, but rare. Not lollipop ready. No longer supported.

Now I am using action launcher 3 plus and is very good closest to nova too in simplicity and battery friendly

Nova launcher. It has never ever given me a problem and it has a ton of features. Sometimes I even forget that I'm not on stock launcher, lol.

Apex launcher, "smoke & glass" icon pack.
I use Nova. I like having a clean setup and Nova allows me to customize pretty much every aspect of the launcher. I even have Lollipop animations and folder colors now In order: Homescreen #1, Homescreen w/ folder open, App Drawer.
I've been using Apex (free) on my previous Galaxy S3. I went to try Nova on this new phone, but noticed you can't disable the widgets from the app drawer... Apex does this on the free version. So, I'm sticking with Apex on the new phone too... it does everything I need it to, is very customizable (even on the free version), and it's fast too.

You cant disable from the app drawer But u can do one better
and remove it from showing in the app drawer
Action Launcher 2 cause it just works
Nova prime. Gestures alone is win. Don't need to go all the way to top for notifications. Been using it for years.
I use Themer. Can't beat it. With this and Color Status Bar, I have a custom and easily swappable setup that helps me recover from my crack flashing addiction.
Hmmm... I have the pay version of nova, holo, and action. I tend to use action 2 most, the setup for folders and blinds exists nowhere else and is exceptionally useful. I switch to holo otherwise for change of pace, its the same as nova, apex, etc but lighter and smoother. The launchers that try and give you a changing setup depending on time and/or place totally don't work for me.
Lol, I just use stock google now launcher. ?
I used Aviate for a day or 2 and noticed horrible battery life. I'm talking like 12 hours and battery is down to 25%. Switched to Goggle now launcher and have much better battery life, so I'm sticking with that for the moment. I'll bounce between this, themer or Buzz launcher.
