What contact widget/app do you use? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

As title really
I am currently using Phonebook 2.0 but am interested in what others use and why.
Cheers
Bry.

I just put shortcuts to each contact on a home screen, wish some way to round the edges a bit though...

it looks like beautful widgets to me, the smaller home widget to be precise
I keep mine pretty simple. Just my kid, a clock, and dock. I didn't bother to show the other screens because it is just launcher pro widgets.

Something I did from scratch. Icons are from dreamflye (or how ever its spelled). I was inspired by his dock, I liked it but it didn't fit what I was going for. So I did my own. I've been toying with releasing it.

Yeah dude...you should release it. If noone else uses it...I sure will!

PM me your contact info and your color preference and I will send it to you. I can't really send the icons yet because they are not my work, but I will be doing some of my own in the future (text icons are easy). I can maybe do a small request of icons if you let me know.
I am working on getting the some variations done before I release it (Tab on left, right, or center). I kind of want to release a bunch of variations so people can pick what they like. And I probably need to do some icons (at least the basics).
droid 2, epic 2.5, modified stock theme
Hey faceless, you wanna' post your dock icons? I like the extended right tab a lot (and I'm also too lazy to make my own unless I really have to )

For those of you who use ADW

Hey guys just a quick question about ADW...im having some problems when trying to add a picture frame widget. When I choose the photo I want and then I have the option to resize it,,instead of 2X2 I want to make it 4X2 however when I do that it still comes out to 2X2 but it takes the space of a 4X2. Now, I had no problems doing this with my Nexus One..so is it possible that its a 1.6 problem? or am I missing a setting somewhere?
Thanks
When you change the space settings the widget stays the same size, just has a kind of invisible border.

Right, thats exactly what happens....but before on my Nexus the picture itself would be bigger no invisible border. Why wont it work now? is it 1.6? Thats what Im trying to figure out
I don't think it's anything to do with ADW... It's the SE implementation of the picture frame widget I believe...
Is there maybe a better picture frame program in the market?

Yeah I found a pretty cool one called Turtle photo frame.... problem is is it causes ADW to FC as soon as you add the widget. So I'm still on the hunt lol

Search market for big photo frame, its exactly what your looking for

Some (although few) widgets actually stretch or shrink depending on what size you make them, however, try the 'Auto Stretch' option in ADW which may stretch widgets which normally wouldn't

Replace right icon in sense

Hey everyone.
Just did a search to see if I can replace the right icon at the bottom of the sense launcher. The problem is that I'm not quite sure what the correct terminology is.
Anyway, I'm wondering if there is a simple way to choose my own shortcut there instead of the personalize palette.
I'm using virtuous 0.9.0. Don't really want a theme, am willing to try some command line type stuff
Thanks so much if anyone can point me in the right direction!

On screen buttons

Since this is going to be my first phone with on screen buttons which I consider a stupid idea I am wondering what can we go with this back bar embeded at the bottom of the screen, Can we make it smaller?, will it be removed in games? Can we add extra buttons or ever widgets to it? Maybe ever make it pages so when you swipe over it it will reveal a rss feed or something. Any ideas on what can be done to make it helpful rather than a hinderance

Once custom roms start rolling out you will be able to change the DPI of the bar.
AOKP i expect will support this feature as they do in current JB Roms
Why don't you like them? I think they're great.

But that's the beauty of Android. We can choose whether they're always shown or not.
