Favorites widget...

[TRD4RNR]

What I did was make a folder on my home screen that says favorite. I then add direct call into the folder. I did this for my most called people. When I open my favorite folder it shows my direct contact people like the old favorite widget did. It just takes a while to set up because you have to select each person and drop them into your favorite folder.

OMG and this even gives me a quick way to the nav feature. This absolutely rocks !

I have this same setup after missing the favorites widget on my D4. I called my folder "Speed".

motorola favorites.apk on Galaxy S4

Thanks, but the apk did not work for me. The widget loads and has one row of favorites. It says pull down, but but will.. Not slide down to show more contacts. Thanks again.

Same for me - got the widget to load, has a "Pull down to open" bar across it, but will not pull down. I would REALLY love to make this work... any other ideas??

Welcome. I believe that was a Moto UI widget, looks like Samsung has one called "Favorite Contacts" it is a 4x6 widget. Could put that on a secondary screen, or re-size.

There is a widget with a similar name on the Play Store.

The Samsung widget doesn't offer the collapse/pull-down functionality, which is what makes the moto widget so good. Hope someone can help us figure out how to make it work on the S4...

I recently bought a Maxx and was pissed that it didn't have the favorite contacts widget. That's why I decided to create my own, and try to follow Motorola's functionality as much as possible

Check it out on the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cpsolutions.contacts) and let me know what you think.
