I'm back to Sense again, and I'm having trouble with this widget....
If I choose camera as a shortcut, the 'drawer' that opens from the shortcut shows the last few photos taken; that's all good
However, any other app I try doesn't give any options in the drawer. I've tried all the obvious apps like messages, calendar, browser etc... Also, I've made sure that I've got a new message, new appointment etc.... But the the drawer just has text saying 'Tap icon to open application'
Anyone got it working as it should, any tips?
I'm on Runnydroid 5.0 btw
cheers
anyone????

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.
Hello, I was just wondering if there is a way to change where a widget links to in MaxSense Roms? I am using the Energy Rom with MaxSense. The sense messaging client is very glitchy, and I don't want to use it. So, is there any way to get the little text message notification widget on the home screen to open my phone's main messaging client? I believe it's that tmail.exe client.
I've attached an image with the widget I am refering to. When I click it, it opens the sense messaging tab, instead, I want it to open tmail.exe
Don't mind the glitchiness in the image, it's a screen shot I took before of how the messaging client was glitching my display, and didn't feel like taking a new screen shot.
I found the solution to this problem, I'll post it in case anyone else has this problem with the screen glitching when the sense messaging client is used in landscape.
On the main home screen (The middle of the 3 home screens, the default home screen) click the settings arrow in the bottom right corner, and select "Program Link Settings" then, scroll down to "Messaging" and when the list of programs pops up, select the program titled "Messaging" then, check the "Program Link Settings" tab again. Make sure the program link points to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet\Messaging.lnk which will make all SMS Widgets point to the default T-Mobile Rhodium messaging client, Tmail.exe
At first, i have some weird problems selecting Handcent as default messaging App at my Desire. (LeeDrOiD 2.3d and Stock RUU)
I have a Widget installed (SMS Unread Count) which displays my unread SMS on my Homescreen. In the Q&A of that Widget it says that if more than one messaging app is installed, it will ask me which one to use when i tap on the widget.
But that doesn't happen, it always starts the stock msg app.
Here's what i've done so far:
- Contacts -> Choose One -> Send SMS -> Set default dialog appears -> Set Handcent as default.
This works only if i'm in Contacs and select to send a SMS via Contacts App. Widget still launches stock msg app.
- Set notifications for both msg apps. As i received one, i got double notifications as intended. I selected the stock notification -> Set default dialog appears -> Set Handcent as default.
Works for Notifications, Handcent will get startet. Widget still launches stock msg app.
No i'm really confused and got no more idea what to do. As i tried another ROM without Sense (GingerVillain), all i had to do there was to tap the Widget and i was asked which msg app to start.
But that doesn't work on Sense ... please help me, this is really frustrating.
I guess just delete the stock message apk? It'll be / system/app/messaging.apk or something like that just adb or terminal on the phone need advise just pm me

Never mind, i figured it out what you wanted to say But that only disables double notification, which is not the problem. (i know ho to disable this)
The whole case is all about the fact that on Sense Roms the "SMS Unread Count" Widget won't launch the "set default app" dialog so i'm unable to choose which app should be default or not.
On other Roms, e.g. GingerVillain (No Sense) the set default dialog window appears as intended.
But i want that also on Sense

Why not just use the Handcent unread SMS widget? I use it and it's sweet.
I have just disabled everything else within the stock app - notifications etc - and replaced all the icons on my home screen and slide dock (Zeam Launcher) with either the handcent 1x1 widget or the handcent icon (can't have widget on the sliding dock)
If you use the Handcent 1x1 widget, you're guaranteed that it'll start Handcent every time!

Because SMS Unread Count is also able to be configured as an Unread Mail Widget and i want both Widgets to use the same Design. The Handcent SMS Widget isn't configurable and doesn't fit my personal desire.
Thats why i use this
Will bump this since I also have the exact same problem.
Any solution? Same issue running incredibly re-engineered.
Can't you just turn off notification in the messages app? That would make it appear like the default. You could also root and remove the default messages app.

As long as you have the app on your phone mem should be ok ... do not put it on your SD card !!...
No, to both of the guys above me. App is in phone storage, and its not the notifications that are the issue.
SMS Unread count gives me no option to launch the app of choice. It launches the stock messaging app, and all defaults have been cleared in 'manage apps'
Sorry, i didnt notice you were asking about the SMS unread count. I dont use that so i cant say how it works.
Have you tried:
Settings --> Applications --> Select "Stock messaging" app --> "Clear Defaults"
This will remove the Stock Messaging app as the default app for all chosen situations, if there are any. If there aren't, the button is greyed out and isn't the problem.

Tried that. Did not work.
Use "App Vault" and disable the stock message application..!
it can be done in one click without using any command..!!
hey!
just a short question: is it somehow possible to disable (remove!) the contact pictures that come with facebook-contact-sync?
thanks!
theo
edit: I am using InsertCoin HD-port
If it's just the Facebook ones you don't want, go into the settings of the facebook app and choose to not sync. Or if you don't want them to show at all go into the preferences of the Contact app.
I would like to sync all the facebook-contacts, but I don't want the facebook-contact-pictures coming with syncing "Facebook for HTC Sense".
the normal facebook app is not synchronising at all.
Open up the Contacts app and go through the settings to disable contact icons. To sync fully with Facebook, just go into the app, go into the settings and select sync all. If this doesn't work, go into Accounts and Sync and manually do it from there instead.

YES! thats what I want
but I can't find any "settings-menu" in contacs app ("people").
I am on InsertCoin HD Port - android 2.2.1
in contacts app I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
where can I find the option to disable contact icons?
THANKS!
Press the menu button on your Desire and it will bring up a little menu then just select settings. No idea what it's like on InsertCoin but should be still the same. They are there, you just have to find them. But seriously, press menu > settings.
arrr.
I feel like a real noob...I just can't find it :-(
as described above, when I am in my contacts app ("people") and press the menu-button I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
THERE IS NO "SETTINGS" option.
if you dont trust me I will upload some screenshots
cant imagine that there is no option like this in my HD-port...maybe I should ask in the Desire HD-forum...
nevertheless..thanks!
Sorry mate. I know what you mean now. Bloody native Android has it so you can get rid of the contact icon but Sense doesn't. I installed Sense earlier and I can't find anything. Guess you could get a 3rd party app and use that but as far as I can tell, it's not going to happen.

I did some digging around and found the lockscreen for MIUI. It's buried in the online lockscreens somewhere. Anyhow, you cannot customize the apps that show on it. You get: Dialer, Music, Camera, and Messages.
I figured out a little tiny workaround that doesn't require any programming knowledge. If you have a replacement app for any of those programs (for example, I use ChompSMS instead). Just download your new app, and don't open it. Lock your phone, and drag the messaging icon to the Sense circle. The phone will unlock, and ask you what app you want to use. Set ChompSMS as your default app, and the icon will open it from lockscreen.
