[Q] Two questions re gingerbread - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

guys I need your help,
just tried a rom based on android 2.3.3 and it looks great... however few clarifications are needed:
1) my calendar widget (in agenda mode) shows only events within a month approx. (I would like to show more than that)
2) in my calendar, if I have an even with a location...there is a little globe sign which in effect can navigate you to this address. In Froyo by pushing it, I could chose which program to use as navigation.... here it uses automatically the google one ( i think the locations). I have installed the iGO...and I want that one to be used. Checked the default in the applications..none of navigation programs have the clear default option available.
Thanks in advance people!

[Q] Froyo - Official ROM - People widget does not remember default action

Hi,
I have updated my unrooted stock ROM to the new 2.2 stock Froyo this weekend (by using the normal system refresh).
I have done a factory reset after upgrading the operating system.
Everything works but the "People widget". If I click someone it asks for the default action. For example I select "call mobile". After the call the small mobile icon appears for the contact (indicating the default action), but if I select another contact and add a default action again, the default action for the first contact disappears... It asks again for default action when I click on the contact.
I have:
-Removed and re-added the people widget from the desktop
-Removed and re added the group (the people widget use)
-Created a new group and added people manually by using the "+" sign of people widget
...none of the above worked.
Please help me what to do.
Thank you for your help in advance,
Andrew
Do you have any idea why people widget acts like this?
Anyone? Any Idea? Suggestions?
Resolution
I was having the same issue, but I believe I was able to resolve it. When I logged into Gmail from my desktop pc, I noticed a contacts group called "Starred in Android". I added everyone who's listed in my widget to this group, and that seemed to do the trick. At that point I simply had to set the default action for each contact once, and now my phone remembers it
(BTW, I'm not sure this is Froyo-specific, as I seem to recall the same problem before I upgraded).

The suggested "Starred in Android" fixed my problem.
Thank You for the Solution. It definitely was an annoying problem.

[Q] about linked contact in froyo

I was installed CM7, wonder about my loved feature missing about linking contact with facebook, gmail contact ?
so just wonder about have to install any addons or new contact manager ?
btw, I also saw a in notification has a control button ? is that came with ginger or we can install it seperately ?
It's a feature of CM. It can be installed seperately though. Many apps in the market allow that, but, they obviously aren't as coherent as having it built in. Example of such apps are Power Control (Plus), Extended Controls etc

Contacts Widget App - Non Scrolling

As above, I'm looking for a contacts widget that will work with 2.3.3. Does anyone know of any? I've tried a half dozen or so from the market but they either don't work, or don't work the way I want them to.
I'm just looking for a non-scrolling sense type one. I don't want to install any launchers or anything like that, I'm happy with the phone as it is in that respect, so I would rather have a static one.
The closest one to the mark was Contact Widget, it looked the part but was very buggy. It was meant to show 20 contacts at any one time but after I had selected the 20, it then only displayed 4 and pretty much froze. Not sure if that's a 2.3.3 issue or not.
Any recommendations?
If you want one that's non-scrolling, I would suggest not installing anything. Just add shortcuts to your contacts on the home screen. You can also put them into a folder if you so choose.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks for that, 2 years I've been running android and didn't know that lol.
I eventually found and sorted out elixir which does the job nicely.

[Q] liking a photo with facebook for htc and calendar widget

Hi all,
I'm using HTC Desire Z. Android version is 2.2.1 and also using stock rom.
I have two issues.
First one is about facebook for htc. When I open a photo which is uploaded by my friend to Facebook from my gallery (from Facebook tab) I can write comments to that photo and also I can see tags, other comments etc. these features are good but I can't see (or let's say, I couldn't find) who likes this photo and any like button. Is there a way to do that? I don't know if next update (2.3.3 update) will fix that. For now, there is no update for my country. (Turkey)
Another one is about Calendar widget (HTC one). It shows events very well but when I selected an event (f.e. it is X's Birthday) is there a shortcut to go X's Contact Card or something like that? The widget also shows that where did it get this information. f.e. if it is Facebook then go to X's wall at Facebook. Is there a way to do that?
I saw Launcher Pro. Are its widgets do that? And I want to use HTC Sense's Home, so if I install Launcher Pro, can I only use its widgets? Or should I use whole application? (with Home Screen)

[Q] What would you like?

Hey guys ,
I am making my first ever ROM and would like to cater to what everybody would like most. I've extracted the rom.zip from the latest WWE RUU, rooted it (by putting the SU.apk and the binary into the ROM) and would like to release it as a completely stock option but still rooted for those people who would like to enjoy Sense with nothing added or removed. (Of course people can change stuff themselves by adding and removing apps, etc.) But yesterday I also thought of another option - making the ROM extremely fast and leaving it with the bare minimum - Calendar, Play Store, Camera, Dialer, Settings, HTC People etc. So I would like to get on to my original question - which would you like to see? Vote in the poll, or if your answer is "other" post your request there.
And if you would like me not to release it as there are too many Sense-based ROMs cluttering up the Android Development section, vote that option and I 'll keep it to myself
I would like a bare bones stock rom, Basically remove as much as you can without causing my app choices to break. and overclock 15%
also if possible make it so when I touch the all apps button, I would like a pop up menu with settings and a button for app screen, also can you code it so I can have pages of apps scroll sideways

Well you can make both and put them on the same thread. Make a lite and a full versions of the same ROM and let people choose.
You can also change the kernel to an overclockable (is that a word ?) Kernel.

OK, I'll make two versions, although I can't make a horizontal app drawer as I'm quite new at making ROMs , but that doesn't mean it can't come in a later update!

Actually i would prefer as light as possible rooted ROM..even in cm7 i found couple apps i have never used and could be deleted..
i was stuck on froyo after ota (i didnt know anything about android, even xda ) and since revolutionary/alpharev is available i am on cm7 (now on unofficial cm9) and i was thinking about seeing froyo again, so this is probably my no1 for the moment
little ot, sorry for that, i cant post in dev section, so at first thanks for your and others work on cm9
after flashing cm9 build from 04-15 i found that in settings->about phone the android version says 4.0.3 so i am a bit confused
and i dont know if it was mentioned, but Apex launcher is working also good for me and i found it more customizable than Nova which is in recommended in op...
