[Q] Contacts Widget

Was wondering if there was an app that worked similar to the Buddies Now widget in TouchWiz. Just want an app where I can add contacts and scroll through them with the option to call them or message them.
Thanks for any input.

I use contacts widget (exactly what its called in market) and it works fine for me running cog 2.4 with launcher pro

Launcher Pro has that built in.

alternative to launcherpro/sense calendar widge

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

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.

Quick Contacts

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

[Q] Finally on ICS, but.....

Finally FXZ'd back to unrooted 905, then OTA'd to ICS. Can see why everyone likes ICS. Three questions:
1) How do you add widgets to the home screen? I long press on an empty spot and get a popup to select wallpaper.
2) I miss the stock weather app on GB where I could add cities. It was a flip page style app. I didn't see any weather app in the ICS app drawer.
3) Cold I load the old GB weather app into the ICS operating system?
Thank you for your time.
I also wanted to thank crobs808 for putting together the FXZ info.
Tony

in the stock launcher, the widgets are added from the app drawer. Tab to widgets from app drawer and hold on desired widget, then place.
I never used the stock weather widgets on the bionic but you could try the AccuWeather app in the play store. I know on tablets it has paged weather locations that you could flip through

could be compatibility issues of that widget with the launcher you prefer to use
have you considered contacting the dev for that launcher or widget?

Yes I have, as I purchased the launcher but have yet to receive a reply. I have tried all the good clock widget ie. Go weather ex, beautiful widets and so on. Eveny FB widget, power amp and my xbox live widget crash
