Launcher pro question

Anyone else have trouble using the contacts button on the dock? It won't work at all for me, and just says failed to launch action.
Also is it possible to just get launcher pro plus in one hit or do your have to d/l it all separate?

No problem here, I added contacts manually, rather than using the default one though (it may be trying to link to the default Android or Sense contacts app).

Long press -> "Change shortcut" -> application -> contacts

Same here, but changed to the original one and worked.

im assuming you're talking about fancy widget which is not part of launcher pro, its a separate apk file that isnt on the market anylonger cause htc were gonna sue them or something. google fancy widget 1.3 and you should get it or if someone can post a link here that would be good also.

Legend!
I am still new to android, and I know it appeared to be a simple fix, but it was not so apparant to me.
Thanks.
btw, is there anywhere in particular to get good custom icons for launcher pro?

I heard a lot of people here talking about Launcher Pro so I read some reviews and saw a few YouTubes of it in action.
I really couldn't see much difference between it and the TouchWiz interface that the I9000 has.
Can someone here tell me the key features it has that TW doesn't have and why you like it so much?
TIA

Customizable dock (look and icons).
Has additional features including static wallpaper, HTC sense preview, etc, etc.
Feels very smooth.
I don't really use it anymore but I used it quite a bit on HTC Magic because it was so customizable. I'll probably use it on my Galaxy S when I can remove touchWiz and switch it with LauncherPro.

[Q] Notes widget bug? - bad graphics with Evernote notes

Hi! I have an Evernote account, synced it with the HTC Notes app, and added a widget.
All the notes that came from Evernote (PC app) will look very bad on the widget. If I create a note on the phone, it will look fine on the widget. I tried using a different font and size in the PC app, then sync again, but it will still look the same. I attached a screenshot, to be clear.
Can somebody using Evernote please test if the same happnes with that widget when viewing notes created on the PC? I want to know if this is a common bug or if I am doing something wrong here.
Thanks!

It's the same if I create/edit a note on the Evernote web page or in the Android app, even if I edit a note initially created in the HTC Notes app (that looked good in the widget). The note preview in the widget will look very low res, sometimes very hard to understand anything.
Surely there's someone else here using Evernote / HTC Note app, can you please check if the same happens?

[APP][WIDGET]Barometer, Altimeter + DashClock Extension

Hi!
Make use of the built-in pressure sensor of your device!
It's a Barometer and altimeter app that also supports DashClock widget. Now you can track pressure trends with your device!
Features:
- Holo dark theme.
- Swiping between screens.
- Charts - 12h, 24h, 2 days, 4 days 7 days and 14 days.
- Resizable widget (Android 4.1+) showing current pressure and trends.
- Data exporting to a .csv file (supported by MS Excel etc.)
- Dash Clock Extension
- Customizable
- NO ADS
Pressure data are provided by a built-in pressure sensor. Internet connection is not required.
If you set your ICAO code (can be found here: http://www.mapping.com/airportcodes.shtml) the app will download the QNH from the nearest airport to provide more accurate altitude values.
It's great for para gliders, those who like hiking in mountains etc. - you can record your altitude and export it to a .csv file.
Get it on GooglePlay - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.baggus.barometr
Feel free to comment.
It's free and has no ads. It's not a commercial app. I've made it for myself and thought I would share it.
If you like my work - you can donate here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=K69Y5H6F8ETHY

Could you please upload the apk? Can't install from Play

Here you go: http://www.speedyshare.com/WWCZ6/Barometr.apk
I believe it's a common bug with SIII working on CM based roms that users can't download it from GP, but it work fine if it's installed from an apk file.

Thanks for this usefull app.Please consider the option to choose textcolor of widget-text white or blue.

Monthly calander widget

Hi
Does anyone know how to add / find the monthly calander widget?
I have it on my S4 but on the 10.1 tablet all I can find is the S planner app. I have tried using Google calander but it does not give you option to have a month's view as a widget unfortunately (well not that i have found so far).
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.josegd.monthcalwidget

I had to grab one from Google Play. There are many options there, but apparently not one with the stock software. Odd.
Sent telepathically to my SM-T520

the magazine UI has a monthly calendar you can resize and move around unfortunately you cant get it to fit full screen but its still manageable

Something close to Samsung's monthly calendar widget would be SolCalendar by Sol Studio at Daum.
I also miss Samsung's Calendar widget.

Looks good. Accubattery is better for battery stats and the Samsung Internet Browser (really!) is the best browser. https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-internet-browser-android-793983/

For SMS's try this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.android.smsorganizer&hl=en_IN
It automatically segregates most of the transaction/spam sms into separate bins and does a good job of it.

Best calendar IMHO is Business Calendar 2. Interface is much better than Google Calendar, more customizable, and syncs with Google Calendar flawlessly

I've been using the Norton junk cleaner for system and such, and manually cleaning the cache for the apps that get bad. Does sd maid do app cache cleaning too? I see it works with root. Also, is it worth it to get pro? Tell me more please!

I personally like AppMgr III (App Manager 3) for System/Cache Cleaner and, especially (but not applicable for taimen), if you have a device that employs an external sd card...
