[Q] Favourite/Contacts Widget - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am trying to find the favourite contacts widget on my S4 mini but can't seem to find it. Having read through the forums, it seems Samsung have dropped this handy widget from the S4 Mini in favour of individual contact widgets.
Does anyone know if its possible to use/port the widget from the S3 mini? If it is possible, does anyone know where it is available?
Or alternatively could someone recommend a suitable app from an App store?
Thanks for your help,

I don't have an answer, but this free app looks like it may solve the problem. I have not tried it.

Sorry, no real help from me on this one either, but have you considered using an alternate email app?
Personally, I'd recommend K-9 Mail.
I can't believe that none of you guys noticed tris issue ... Help!!!

I think no one use this feature except both of us
I started using another email app for another account
HI,
I have the same issue. I had my Galaxy S1 with rooted ICS, and even in the stock version there was option to create those shortcuts. The problem for me is that i use 4-5 email accounts. And without those shortcuts its hard to monitor ,and its easy to get lost from which account are you sending back email.
Maybe its possible to install email apk from ICS ? Any one got the .apk file ?

I've just upgraded from an S3 to a Note II and I've noticed this too.
I wonder if it's because I'm using the Hong Kong FW that came with it. I notice it's missing other shortcuts too, like Mono Audio Toggle.
Very annoying. Oh well.

Unfortunately this is not country related...i had a workaround...using titanum backup:
1. back-up apex launcher installed on my s3 (gestures adn link to emai laccounting wrking properly)
2. restore on my Note II
It works!
The issue is when you remove ana account...it does no longer work, eeven if you restore the account.
It would be nice if we could copy the link and make it available in al the devices without have installed apex launcher...
Same problem. Annoying.
Same issue with I9505. The workaround (restore I9300 APEX backup) works like a charm.
Annoying....really annoying...

Does someone know how to copy a shortcut form Apex Launcher and create an icon to use also in the TW Launcher (or another one)?

Facebook Friendstream on GSIII

Hi, I am not sure, if anyone is using facebook friendstream on GSIII. If so, your help is appreciated.
Hi, I am looking for facebook friend stream. Is it not available for Touchwiz JB ROM? If available, can anyone provide an apk please? If not available, can you tell me which one do you use as an alternative for facebook friend stream?
Also, I like the way facebook picture shows up, when we call someone or when we get a call. But, for some reason, I am not getting this functionality. Appreciate solutions.

Handwriting to text apps?

Although I prefer other keyboards on my Note 10.1, I'm sorta "stuck" with the preinstalled Samsung keyboard because of it's very decent handwriting-to-text capabilities.
Does anyone know of equally good apps which allow H-to-T, even better if it's possible to recognize handwriting from saved notes?
Any other good keyboards which have H-to-T? I've tried Swype, but it's not as good as Samsung's...
Thanks for your input!
I've been wondering this myself but I learned to love the sammy H-to-T even on AOSP roms on my Original Note I717, and having the Note 10.1 just makes this keyboard better. Now that feature you mentioned about recognizing text from notes, now that would be sexy...if you know what I mean.
Try 7notes available on Google play, you can use the inbuilt app to write notes in your handwriting and convert later or can do on the fly conversions with any app that allows keyboard entry. The recognition is the best I have seen on any app to date.
Another app you can try is notes mobile, currently only available from the Samsung app market which also allows you to take notes and convert later.

I'll take a look at 7notes, thanks! But I can't find "notes mobile" on the Samsung Apps page. Who's the maker, or if you can just send the link?
Thanks!!

Thanks! I actually found it searching the forum here! It is really good at what it does!
There are 3-4 different note taking apps out there which have something particular about them that make them special, and things that you hate. I wish someone would make one that had it all!
Thanks again!

[Q] Zooper Widget Problems

So I just bought zooper widget pro and I'm not sure if I'm missing something or what but I've tried adding a couple different music widgets and it seems that they don't work... I've tried apollo and google play music apps and neither work... Am I missing a setting somewhere or something? Appreciate the help!

For a lot of the Zooper and UCCW widgets you need this app to be able to use the Music widgets:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha.

You can try to return to the store and require the exchange for the new one.
APK X Original APP
Hello there! I'm from Brazil.
I always loved to customize my Galaxy S3 home screen. I have always been using UCCW.
I have always heard about Zooper Widget, but have never tried. Then I did it... And realiazed how I was wasting time with UCCW.
Zooper is, by far, much more customizable, it is easier and faster as well.
So I decided to purchase the Pro version, but a few days ago, the banks here in Brazil were not approving the credit card international purchases in Google Play Store, because the prices were in Reais (Brazil's currency), and people were not been warned that they would be charged with some taxes.
I was really lookin forward to try the Zooper Widget Pro version. Then, for the fisrt time in my 'android life', I downloaded an APK file. And installed it...
I loved Zooper. I created so many widgets by myself... It is amazing..
Now, the credit card issue I told you above is gone. I can finally purchase the Pro version then.
Would somebody please tell me what should I do, so I won't loose all the widgets I created with the APK file I've downloaded and installed??
I tried Google Play Store, but it shows that Zooper Widget Pro is already installed.
Should I uninstall it, delete the APK, and then buy the app??
How can I restore all my widgets then??
That's it. I hope someone can help me with that.
PS: sorry if I don't make myself clear, my english is not that good.
