When I turn my phone off and then back on the contact widgets have all resized themselves, I keep setting them back to the way I want and they are fine for awhile, then they resize themselves when I turn the phone on. again. Any ideas on how to stop this? Thanks

Yup same problem here, but it's not just contact widgets, all motorola blur widgets that have been resized will magically resize themselves when the phone is power cycled.

loving this update. can't get activities to show up though...

That is the Handcent widget. You must have Handcent SMS installed.

How do you compose a new text from the hancent widget screen?

 

[DellG]

Also, I remember a post awhile back, but I cant find it. When you use Handcent SMS there is a way to stop getting 2 of each returned text. Does anyone remember how to do that? It asked for which SMS I want to send by default but I dont remember where to find the one when you recieve a text. Dont need double text every time.

I put LP on my Droid X three days after I bought it. I love it. I'm going to buy the Pro version for my wife and myself. This phone is so sweet.

@ Soapinmouth - That homescreen is tight!

How do you get so many icons on your homescreen?

And what is that tap to speak widget?

I believe it's the Vlingo widget, but I could be wrong:

YouTube - ‪Vlingo SuperDialer‬‎

As for the icons on the homescreen, there's an option to increase the rows and columns, AND there's an option to remove the text label from the icons - both in Launcherpro's settings.

Looks like it could also be More Icons widget.

love having the moto contacts widget back for one touch dialing, but I am also having to resize them occasionally. It is not a power cycling thing for me, not sure what is triggering it.

For now, I am happy to just resize them again as I only use 3 contact widgets and I am happy to have them back as it was the only thing I was missing from the stock ui!

I'm confused, and no one answered the other guy who asked this:

After installing LauncherPro or Plus version, how do you get access to any of the Moto widgets anymore like the quick contact ones???

You mean Launch-X Pro? I'm not familiar with that one... I looked it up on the market and I'm still not completely sure about it. Can you post a few screen shots when you get a min?

 

[wilydodger]

I haven't looked back since I installed LPP.

I was wondering about what he was using to get so many icons on the bottom, but looks like that was answered.

Launch-X looks cool, but I think I will stick with my Folder Organizer, it rocks.

 

[john0821]

Launch-X Pro looks pretty cool. I might give it a try, but I'm also happy with Folder Organizer. Though it does look like Launch-X has more options than Folder Orgainzer.. which has more options than App Organizer.

They show up in the widgets menu in LPP.

Hope thats what you were looking for.

I have seen some people refer to the multiswipe on the home icons, what exactly do you mean by this? I know you can scroll the home dock, is there something else I am missing?

You can have 15 apps in the dock by swiping it left or right. However this number is doubled to 30 since each dock button can be opened 2 ways: can press it or swipe to open. Each method opens a different app. For instance as one of your dock buttons, you can have a text message app shortcut by pressing down. You can also have that same text message shortcut open another app, maybe Facebook, by setting the same button swipe to open option. If you have the latest update, just hold down the dock button & it will display the options.

"Text Messaging" is the application that needs to be in the dock for the Unread SMS Count to work right (I do have it checked)? For some reason, whenever I get a new text, the notification doesn't work. It works for emails though.

I had to re-do the shortcut because the icon wouldn't stay the same.

That is the Handcent widget. You must have Handcent SMS installed.

thanks

FYI - If anyone is interested I figured it out. Tap the picture of the contact person next to the message, not the message itself.

Ok so this time I took all my widgets off my home screen before installing LPP and I paid for plus, unlocked it and got home switcher. Rebooted. Set up all my LPP settings and its working excellently. No lagginess at all.
I was wondering if there was a way to change the icon looks though. Is there widget packs or anything like that?

I am beginning to think I am invisible, no one ever responds to my questions.....

 

[_Aardvark]

Not to be redundant, but it seems even the latest build of LPP resized moto widgets don't like a reboot (forget settings like which email account and need to be resized again).

Also, they don't really resize exactly as they did in the stock home (the layout is a bit off for some widgets).

However, I'm starting to just look for widget alternatives or living with the limitations (keep them 2x2 and no filtering to just one email account).

(Maybe w/ 2.2 I can go back to stock)

Just got the plus version and the calendar widget is awesome!!

I am however having the same problem with the contact widget resizing after a reboot. Hopefully this will et fixed soon.
