Can someone explain how to get LauncherPro Plus to gather all my contacts images in the People widget? Just lots of blank protraits and I can't figure it out :/

It can't just do that... you need to create a group (if you sync with Google, then its easier doing it via GMail) and allocate the contacts you want to that group.
 
No not really just download it give it a go . You can go back to stock launcher in a matter of seconds;)

I have. I love the simplicity, but I can find no way of adding program shortcuts to a page, only widgets, and some of my programs don't have those, I like a page of shortcuts, and not having to scroll through the app drawer.
The effects of flying in and out of menus is cool.
Think i might need to re-read this whole thread.

The LauncherProPlus update is out there, there's a snag though.

The plan was, the app would request the Paypal transaction ID to unlock the features. Only it turns out that the transaction ID's we all got in our emails aren't the same that the Dev recieved! So of course, the app won't unlock.

The dev has said he will email out the correct transaction ID's (hopefully today) so that we can unlock our app. How this will pan out for new buyers I don't know, it's gonna be a pain for him to email each customer.
 
Go to the App screen, and just long press one. Then drag it to your homescreen.

You can customise the shortcuts at the bottom, mine are the phone one (much easier to call people than looking through the phone book), a camera shortcut, app drawer, handcent and then a bookmark folder. Press the button, and it will open a folder containing all my bookmarks.

Thankyou very much. This phone is so ******* awesome it literally gives me a hardon.

On another note, are there any different programs for making calls, as I hate when I press the phone button that the default dialer has the keyboard up over my contacts. Its annoying as i rarely dial numbers rather than contacts and would prefer the keyboard option as a secondary thing. I also dislike having the last people i've dialed at the top over my contacts.

One thing thats a bit annoying is a created my home page on page 2 and added loads of stuff on the next few pages, then found I could have 7, so now i have 1 page to the left and 5 to the right. Id rather be in the middle. Might have to move a whole bunch of shortcuts :/

Go to your app drawer, long press on an icon there and then you can drag it onto your home screens.

Saying that it isn't even in the Market. :confused:

If you want to call someone called dave, you just press 3 2 8 3, the more numbers you press the more contacts it filters out.
You should try it out!
 
Anyone know of a decent big-ish picture frame widget? I want to use it on my Widgetlocker lockscreen, but the HTC and stock ones on the Desire are tiny and.....crap.

Can anyone recommend a good podcast app?
Something that'd pull off similar podcast searches/downloads to what iTunes has?
 
Can anybody recommend a phone tracking app? I've looked at wave secure but don't really need all the features so reluctant to pay $20. Is there anything else which will just tell me where my phone is if somebody picks it up ad walks off with it?
