Widget to replace phone icon?

I've been using circle launcher to quickly be able to phone the most usual ppl from in my contacts but I'd like to integrate this a bit more with the regular phone icon.

Ideally I'd like a phone icon that shows a menu/folder/similar with quick picks of the most used contacts or the contacts of my choice + possibility to reach the regular phone app from there.

The reason for this is that I pretty much never use the phone app and it's IMO really messy / requires a lot of taps to find the contact I'm calling.

I've been trying to find something similar like this but I haven't succeeded. I've found some widgets that are quick dialers for selected contacts and that's pretty ok but widgets can't be put in a folder so I can't have it on the standard apps bar.

life.contacts is quite nice but I want this on the first screen on the phone and it takes up too much space. Had it been a single button with a drop/pop menu with the contacts it would have been close to perfect.

Anyone know of similar apps?
