I am running Kaos Froyo 35-1. I have tried different options, but I can't find a nice widget that lets me add contacts to one of my screens where I can click the picture and it calls the number. It always brings up the options for text, phone call, and mostly their details.
The original HTC widget did this, and I checked out the Launcher Pro People widget..and nothing quite works.
I am doing this for my kids in case they need to call my family members and don't need a course in Eris development 101
Any suggestions or apps to try?
check out Scrollable Contact Widget.
its a two click option, shows pictures of your choice of contacts (starred or category), once you click the persons name it asks you call, text, email... you click one of those and it goes.
nice app, could be tweaked to work faster though. but the best one i've seen. It requires you use ADW or LP
I've never tried this particular widget, nor do I know the developer, but ran across this over at AndroidForums awhile ago, and your post reminded me of it. They do have a free version so you can try it out and see if you like it.

I use "Contact Widget". It's free on the market and works great.

I don't believe it works with facebook sync, but I don't use facebook sync at all anymore anyway. "SyncMyPix" (also free on the market) will grab all your facebook photos for existing contacts and add them to your google contacts. You can do this once and remove the app since all info is updated to the actual google contact. Or you can use it to update periodically.

You're looking for a shortcut, not a widget
Look under shortcuts, not widgets.

Very simple in Froyo. Find a blank space on your phone and long press. Choose custom shortcut - press "select activity" - scroll down and pick "DIRECT DIAL". Next choose the contact from the list that pops up with number you want and press it. It will then add a 1 click dial icon to the home screen with picture.
Be sure to pic the correct contact and number from the list. For example if your kid's phone has "Mom" as a contact with a home/work/ & cell number when the list pops up to choose from you will actually see 3 "moms" listed with the three different numbers.

MIUI for Beginners

Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.

YES. Just run the commands to activate it
any difference from the MIUI roms out there?
Yeah, Stock Deodexed Chinese ROM with the language Pack from xavierjohn or miuiandroid.com is much more stable.
Tried this because of last weeks ROM-delay from miuiandroid.com. This ROM sucks big time. Theme Manager was broken, ugly bootanimation. General laggy and unresponsive. If you want a miui-ROM for the nexus one i think the one from miuiandroid is the one to go for. This Thread with its many pictures seems to be more impressive than it really is.
On Miui.us the N1-Rom section is dead for instance..
Sorry guys, but for the N1 this ROM is not as good as the other one
Just my eperience and my opinion
miuiandroid.com rom download link is down. Anyone got a link to 1.6.3? I had it last week.
Turkish language support does not
Can you ?

Not trying to say that you are wrong, but there shouldn't be a difference between "lagginess" in the two roms. They are both downloaded from the same miui.com source, deodexed using the same kitchen thats available to all, decompiled/recompiled using same apktool thats available to all.
The only differences you will find are like you said, the boot animation, and minor spellings such as colour vs color, optimization vs optimisation, etc. basically british spelling vs american spelling
I cannot get the theme manager to work. It keeps FC on me is the fix coming soon? Any workarounds?
I found theclgrp link to the fix, flash this and it should end the FC prob

I beg to differ. My experience has been the exact opposite. I had the miuiandroid rom running with quite a bit of FC's and I decided to give this ROM a spin. I have to say I am very happy with the performance and stability
Just flash the roll-back theme manager and run the a2sd commands and you should be good to go.
This ROM is built from CM7 nightlies and MIUI.US MIUI translation
I would like to thank the CM7 crew, Dalingrin et al for all their hard work in making the nook such a viable device. Without their determination, ingenuity and generosity this ROM would not be possible.
I would like to thank MIUI.US team for their help in getting this port off the ground and a wonderful translation and base from which to work from.
Most everything *should* work. Please let me know if you spot any port specific bugs.
Caveats:
- You must have an SDCARD to boot, I dont know why. (won't fix)
- You should flash with the latest CWM 3.2.0.1+

It seem now that we have a thread here, the questions about installing, modifying, and using should be addressed in this thread.
First Thanks! MiUi on the Nook is awesome.
Second What are your future plans\goals for this rom?
I'm hoping for a landscape home screen and built in soft keys?

Of course I would love to have all those great tablet tweaks CM7 has, but MIUI is closed source and even though they base off CM7 merging in the those changes at a smali level is probably going to be a nightmare. So I don't know if I'll get around to that. Same with Landscape in the launcher.
I love cm7 but alternatives are great too. downloading and titaniuming now!
some of the things that makes miui a pain on a phone font apply on the nook so I'm excited to get some eye candy!
Installing MIUI on SDcard
I also love CM7 and the developers. Just seeing what this is about. I liked to Credit Verygreen for his installer, Dal for his OC kernel, and everyone that help with the boot menu for this SDcard install. Without them none of the things that we do would be possible for the rest of us?
Used verygreen's 1.3 img to create an image. Appended prefix update-cm- with the rest being the MIUI downloaded zip. Unmounted and remounted SDcard. Copied file to the Boot partition. Start Nook with SDcard and VG Penguin recovery did the rest.
Took out SDcard and replace in pc. Loaded Dal's OC 06/30/11 sd version. When starting up with SDcard in nook, held down "n" to enter boot menu, selected sdcard, recovery, and booted in Penguin recovery with Dal's kernel being installed.
Could not get USB cable to mount on pc or mac. Went to the File Explorer and turned on ftp. From an ftp client on my mac (pc would be okay also) I created and Android Apks folder and drug the TitaniumBackup.apk to it. I next mounted 16 GB Sandisk SDcard containing my TitaniumBackup folder. I used the File explorer to install the TitaniumBackup.apk. I slide the home screen to find the app, click problems to install the latest busybox, and then install SetCPU to overclock to 1200 and change the governor to ondemand.
Next install Button Savior. From here it will be apps we want from TitaniumBackup folder.
Are you serious!!!!
I can't believe this!!! I'm all over this. I run this on my phone. I was hoping this would happen! killer man. Thanks!!!
Can we still use dalingrin's sexy ass kernel?

No, it does not have the CM buttons. You will need to install Button Savior or Softkeys for that functionality.
Ok thanks I'm going to try it out now

When I did the SDcard install all went well except this. Used ftp to work around it. Drives would not mount when I plugged the usb cable in. Any suggestions?
See my complete post for all the details.

Would it be safe to flash the zip that swaps emmc and the SD card for cm7 on this I mean this is based on cm7 right?

yes you can run it off a sd card and use the size agnostic image file and rename the file to a cm7 stock name and it will install it for you.
on my "bad" sd card, 16gb non sandisk, I didn't get any fc's but a lot of lagging, but no crashes or sod.
My wife installed the new Contrast theme on her Note 3 (4.3.1) and it won't show the correct email count (other themes do). The correct amount of unread emails in her inbox is 120, it is showing 650.
I installed it and did not have the same issue on my Nexus 5.

Hi Red,
This is a new feature we are using to make sure the correct amount of unread email is showing. This is actually all of her mail (drafts, spam, etc.), and is used as once it's all cleared up, it gives less errors than just the simple inbox counter (due to gmail's new Social and Promotion tabs).
To fix this, try this:
1. Hold down on the homescreen - Unlock Widgets - hold down on the bottom area - configure.
2. This will open the Zooper editor - tap Layout - look for the "You have 650 unread email" - select it.
3. Select Edit text manually - change #SUG^all# to just #SUG# - then exit.
4. Remember to go into Themer Settings - Advanced - Desktop - lock desktop widgets.
Hope this helps!
Hi,
I started recently making my own themes as i found there isn't enough themes in my taste on themer/mycolorscreen application/launcher.
I have on question though. how do i change the text for unread email? It is connected to my gmail, ut even checking another box in the mail options i have no luck so far. So help me get an answer please. I watched all videos but i might have missed it somehow. (see screenshot for explaination (and yes i made it all red because I am not ready to share my work with the world just yet))
Love this launcher!
greetings mcwurth
Changing unread email count from gmail to other email
As far as I'm aware, this CAN'T BE DONE! It's a limitation of Android, not Themer. Android links itself to your gmail account, and it will only report unread emails in that account, not any other. The two ways around this are:
(a) forward all your non-gmail messages to your gmail account by adding your hotmail/yahoo/whatever account to gmail (you can do this within gmail on your phone, or from your PC). This is the 'elegant' solution but it does mean that ALL your emails will be a the mercy of Google
or
(b) as you're building your own theme, just find the simplest widget you can for yahoo/hotmail/whoever, put the widget on your homescreen and use some clever masking (such as allow overlapping widgets??) to display only the numeric character. Not sure how you'd go about changing the font size.
You might want to look at Tesla Unread which displays unread emails on little badge icons, or browse xda's main Android forums for info on email count widgets.
BTW, I'm no expert so please don't ask me anything technical - I've just researched this problem before and I remember some of the replies I got from clever people.

Not exactly what i mean. this must be a limitation by themer as the word personal comes directly when i add "missed email". it simply says personal. even when changing the inbox/outbox/whateverbox of my gmail to anything else then the personal one it will not change the text and i can not change it elsewhere. i feel this is a themer issue and not from gmail as i can recall that with other themes it says email/ missed email

Hi mcwurth,
That's Themer Everything Widget right? When you add the Email item, it shows Personal by default. To remove it:
1. Select the Unread Email item (that one you added).
2. Tap the "Unread E-mails Style" option at the bottom - Select Unread E-mail Settings.
3. Scroll to the bottom - Deselect Show Label.
Alternatively you can use Themer Zooper Widget, which allows for much more flexibility. Hope this helps!
