So I'm using the shooter ROM RLS2.1, Seems to work. Kind of slow, but ROMs don't seem to like my phone for some reason. Either way, there is no built in Car Dock app so I grabbed one off the market. I like it alot, but realize that when I'm in the dock and have to hit my contacts list, its off kilter because Sense wotn lip to a landscape view of the contacts list. Does anyone know of a good contacts management app that supports landscape views?
Dialer One works in landscape, but it's more of a dialer than a contacts app.

To anyone with a MT3G slide -
In the messaging widget, do you guys have a 4x4 list option, similar to the mail widget? If so, could you post the apk please?
Thanks!
The only option for the messaging widget is the one that you flick and its like pieces of paper that go up and down. There are no others.

Hi.
I don't know if it's only my DHD.
I have htc message widget (black one, not the white one that looks like post-it note) on one of the home screens.
Ever so often when I swipe through home screens that widget is refreshing names and phone numbers that are in the widget (if you have john smith it will delete the name show his number instead and place name back) and when you swipe further to the next screen it lags for few seconds.
Problem is the more messages i have the more it lags
Debugging is not helping and turning fast boot of doesn't change anything either
Unless someone knows a replacement widget to be placed on home screen

Replacement widget ? Well, i use this one, even if it is paid, it's in my opinion the best on the market now :

Good to know you're getting this problem too Matt, as far as I'm aware it's just that the htc widgets are pants. Which is a shame, because I think they look good and are easy to use.
I use the large message, mail and calender widgets and each of them take between 1-3 seconds to refresh. I've even tried to turn off refresh on open where possible just incase, and even disabled mobile data and wifi and it's the same.
The Facebook and Twitter Android widgets work fine, they're already updated before flicking to their screen, which is what is expected from the htc widgets.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix? Is there a setting I'm missing?
I think the answer may be live with it or get another widget, which would be a shame.
All suggestions are helpful

Second that statement, it's usually not something wrong with your phone/your widget version. I've noticed most HTC widgets do end up lagging there are plenty of third party widgets though that do it better.
When I get my phone back on I'll give you the name of a couple I use.
All HTC widget are lags. Maybe they need to free up some memory everytime its not under user's sight so that other apps can run faster with more memory....then it will need to refresh again...
yup, it suxx everytime i swipe to that corner of my homescreen.. omfg its coming! lol actualy the first time i flash/mod my dhd i was expecting it to be smoothen, but ugh..fat chance it really feels like im still at stock rom

All the lag i used to have got fixed with the gingerbread update
I receive text notifications fine where you slide to read. same for missed calls. But i never get emails on the lockscreen . I am using the gmail app. Is this why? And is there a workaround? Also i find the keyboard dreadful but don't like swype. Is there an alternative?

I assume widgetlocker or some similar app would allow you to have new gmail show up on your lockscreen, though I don't use any of those. With any jkay-themed ROM you can at least have a slide-to-open-gmail item on your lockscreen--though it doesn't sound like you use a custom ROM at all.
As for keyboard, there are literally dozens of options. I use SwiftKeyX primarily, though it's like $4 iirc. TouchPal is probably the best free keyboard I've used, and it's developed right here at xda.
I don't know if anyone else have noticed/know but there is a pinch and zoom built in the calendar, it works very well from what I have test for now and seems cool.
If you have any other tips please share
I do like it...in fact, I haven't installed Pocket Informant that I own.
Question: why do the tabs on the right disappear instantly when you open the calendar? I know you can pinch and zoom, but how can you bring up the tabs?
Wow. Awesome finding! I hated to click click click to change the view..... and now. S calendar becomes my main calendar again.
My only grief is that only it doesnt shrink in density 240..

wow, didnt noticed that before
you can also use two fingers to swipe from right to left of the screen to bring up the tabs.....

I have installed several dialers and contacts apps to test this, but whenever I add a new contact in a contact app, it would open the ugly touchwiz interface again. When I would press the call button in a dialer app it would open the system dialer. Is there a way to overwrite this? It makes no sense that it would go out of the app and defeats the purpose of using a different app at all when it just shows me the ugly touchwiz interface again.
