Contact Widget? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so I just upgraded to the Verizon Note 3 from the VZW Note 2. So far I love it, except for one little thing. The Note 2 had a stock Contacts widget for displaying whichever select contacts I wanted, and then I setup the default way to contact them. I see the Note 3 is lacking this widget, and I cannot find anything close in the Play store to replace it with. So, is it possible to extract or port the Note 2's contact widget so I can install it on my Note 3? Thanks!

There's a widget called Favorite Contacts that may be what you want.

[Q] What's the best Calendar widget?

I have been looking for a calendar widget that looks good, can be customized with different themes, and most importantly can be re-sized to take up the whole screen. My favorite with the Galaxy Nexus has been Pure Grid Calendar but the biggest widget they have does not cover the whole screen in portrait mode for the Nexus 7.
Any good one that you guys are using? Here is a picture of what Pure Grid Calendar looks like on my Nexus 7...I want it to be bigger
Edit: photo upload doesn't work but I want a full screen calandar
I've been using Agenda Widget for years, starting from my Nexus One all the way to my GNex and N7. Lots of customization available, to the point there may be too many options Not sure if can size to full screen though, but most likely can.

Enable Swipe on Note 3 phone app

How do you enable swipe between tabs of the phone app? Like you can swipe through photos in the gallery.
It is so much easier to operate with one hand by this way.
Any one? Noone know?
Yeah Samsung prefers tabbed non scrollable apps a la gingerbread, you'll need another phone app if you want to move between tabs just like with settings. Don't know if Samsung engineers just hate one hand operations but it seems that way.

Started using COVER now, the updated version is cool. The moat intelligent lockscreen.

I tried cover, I don't understand peek really. I mean I get it, you can peek at the app, but you can only see so much before you have dragged it to the point where it just unlocks. And I don't have a lot of variation in my useage, so my apps list was mostly the same no matter where I was. I do like that it can change wallpapers based on where you are though. If they could incorporate the ability to change lockscreen widgets based on location that might make it better for me.
I like dashclock widget, but I hate that I have to expand it in order to actually click on my message to open into the messaging app. But I think I found an xposed mod to fix that, gonna try it out.

Magazine on home page?

Folks,
With stock rom, is there anyway to make the Magazine to be on the home page just likes HTC BlinkFeed?
Obviously, I'm coming from HTC One before joining Note 3, and I missed that BlinkFeed style on Note 3 now... :silly:
If you switch to nova launcher, yes, nova shows mymagazine like a normal app

[Q] S Planner

H - I just got an S5 and my wife has a Note 3. Does anyone know how to view the S Planner in a tab format including the tasks tab like you can on the Note? I can't even get to see a list of tasks on the S5 as it is. Maybe I'm missing something here. Any help would be appreciated.
I guess that it's two different versions of S-View.
