Just seeing which widgets, people are saying, are a must have. And go...

A number one is Beautiful Widgets. Second, to save your power button some abuse, Tap Tap App. Just to name a couple I find useful.
I really like dazzle

I'm looking for a favorite contact wiget like the one on the HTC eris the one that comes preloaded on the first screen to the right of the start home screen.
Is there such an app/widget available for the moto droid?
Also is there a battery app/widget like the HTC eris ?
I'm the new guy here and new to the moto droid just got it today so if I'm asking stupid ?'s please don't be too hard on me
Thanx ö
The closest widget I have found so far is people/contacts widget.

The demo works good was going to buy the full app but my credit card will not let me pay €0.89 . Stupid card will not let my buy anything unless it's listed as US dollars. Guess I'll just use the demo till it run's out of time, and keep trying to find something else to fit my needs...

Dunno about a non-paid people widget, but the Gauge Battery Widget is pretty nice.
Launcher pro plus has a widget similar to htc's now. Apparently the dev is planning on incorporating a few htc style widgets. The cost is 2.99 at the moment through paypal.

I found the HTC battery widget in the market, if it's not available in your stock market try using an alt market like "my market" as for a contacts widget, if your running adw or launcher pro I like Droid contacts coupled with sync my pics. It gives you a decent contact widget that syncs with your Facebook pics.

Is there a setting or an app that allows you to assign an app to a long press? What I would like to be able to do is long press the search button and launch a camera app.
Thanks!

Doh! Just answered my own question. Just discovered Button Shortcut.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Please report back on the pros and cons.
Seems to do exactly what I wanted. You can assign an app to either the search button or a camera button (not that the evo has one). Super basic, but is working fine so far.

Try Itching thumb. Uses your search button to display your last few apps openned, the pages openned and the pages running in the background, like Sense, app drawer, internet, angry birds, ect.. and u can swipe accross them in a Flow-Like motion to go back to the background apps.

Pretty much I'm asking. Is there a launcher that is like adw and launcher pro but is compatible with sense widgets.
I've been looking but not finding.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
There isn't one. Sense, including the widgets, is proprietary to HTC and they are very quick to sue when it comes to their property. There are some skins available that make use of the google apps, calendar and music, that work well with LauncherPro. I've used Pure Music Widget by francois Deslanders and it has a nice transparent 4x4 widget.
Sad face...
Hmm I see the issue. No one would wanna do that work for free. Thx for quick response.

I've seen and tried some of the things you pointed out. But I guess I'm really just trying to make use of my sense rom. I'm using launcher pro and I love it but not being able to you the weather widget has always bugged me.

Beautiful Widgets has almost the exact same weather/clock widget as HTC, plus hundred of others to choose from. Only problem I ever had with it is it gets my location wrong sometimes.
Thx I've looked into beautiful widgets but I'm talking about the full screen weather widget the one with the forcast.
The reason I was asking was mainly because of the resizing of widgets in these launchers.

Yeah it only has a 4x1 weather widget which kind of sucks. Launcher Pro does allow resizing but it just keeps the same 4x1 widget and enlarges it to about 4x2 and it doesn't look good.
Cool so I just got done trying out the go weather app. Its not bad but I only really like it because of the live wallpaper.
But for that same reason It's not what I'm looking for. I do appreciate the idea. Oh well still looking.
I guess what I'm really looking for is that sense 4x4 forcast widget on one of my launcher pro screens. (I know not possible lol)

Hopefully they release their Sense SDK soon like they said they would.
Palmary Weather Pro is very close. I think it's a buck or 2 in the market. I love it.

Galaxy SIII is a fantastic phone, but I seem to be constantly let down by touchwiz stuff. My idea for this thread is a big, long list of annoyances and suggestions for fixing them.
For example, an annoyance: TW doesn't support sorting the app drawer by name, you have to manually sort things and that goes slow. You would have thought they'd have a better way to manage the app drawer by now, but alas, no.
Solution: AppZorter Lite is a free solution that will sort your app drawer for you. Bonus: I like a nice empty app list, so I've gotten it hidden (one thing TW does do) and just launch it from the store when I need to.
Two that I haven't solved:
1) Facebook has filled my contact list with a huge number of people I don't care about, seems to have ignored the "only sync with existing contacts". Removing facebook users is a process: hold on the user, press delete, confirm that it isn't actually deleting.
2) The default MMS app seems to send (or displays?) all picture messages as slideshows. Super lame. Is there any way to turn this out without installing a 3rd party app?
App drawer, menu, view type, alphabetical grid or list.

much easier than my solution. skipped right over that option.

Trying out Pansi SMS as my sms solution, though it's a bummer that it doesn't interact with the lock screen like the native one.

If you goto phone contacts menu display you can remove fb contacts for ppl you dont want
Scrolling wallpapers!!!! (Already made a thread for it)
The app drawer thing is why I didn't use the TW launcher on the Epic. At least now I can install Apex or Nova in the system/app folder.
Network errors, Sprints fault, not the phone.
Oh, I asked that S-Voice b*tch where she was from and she didn't understand. Guess that's what I get for hitting on my phone. :crying:

nvm, someone already posted it.
TouchWiz in general is just a piece of ****. Still running the Epic here and I cursed my phone every day until I put launcher pro on it and it was manageable. Didn't actually like my phone until I rooted and got CM9. My wife is getting the S3 upgrade but CM9 will go on as soon as it is available. She knows how ****ty TW is.

TW isn't that bad, it's manageable but obviously they are better options.

Meh. To each his own. I used to own an iphone and found it boring and featureless. TW just reminds me of the iphone too much. Not as bad as miui though.

Turn off double ppress for svoice. It is quicker. The reason food the delay is that it is giving the user a chance to double press

Pissed that BB had no accessories when i picked up the phone and i now have 2 micro scratches on the screen from screen sliding along a piece of paper on my desk at work.
I hate the purple/baby blue rim around the phone.
Waiting for a black TPU bumper and black metal battery cover replacement from china to resolve these issues.
Outside of that- much more impressed with the form factor than that of the EVO LTE which i traded for it. The S3 is very comfortable in hand.
Phone is way too slippery!
BTW- Touchwiz sucks! i installed Apex while waiting to check out at BestBuy.

I was having a clear out of apps the other day and when speaking to other people in my office that i seem to have very few apps in comparison.
I love a minimilistic look and i suppose that carrys over even to the app screens for me, so i currently have 3 app screens and any time I install something new, i try to delete something i dont use as much to keep it that way.
So, how many screens of apps do you have?
i use the "smart launcher" so only 1 screen really. I went from being a widget crazed android user with 7 screens, to finding the minimalist and simple look of smart launcher
All i need is there.
I have an app draw
