Call status on homescreen?

Maxa

Lurker
Is it possible to replace the call-screen with a call staus/widget on the homescreen?

So I do not want this screen:

I would like to just show the call by a small widget. If I go out from the "call screen" I have a status about the call that seems like a good layout. Would like something like that on my homescreen :)

How did you use tasker to accomplish what you wanted to do? I've looked a little at tasker but I wasn't really sure how it worked.
 
First I made a tasker profile that switched to homescreen 7 when car is docked and an incoming call is recognized. That took me away from the normal "Call screen" (I do only want this special treatment when in the car, thats why the status "docked").
Then I made tasker set minimalistic texts with name and number. Plugin > minimalistic text variable and then you use %CNAME for the callers name and %CNUM for the number.
Did set a timer for it for maximum 2 minutes since I normally know who have called after 2mins of talk haha
Did also make some tasker widgets for answering, muting and hanging up. Did implement a clearing of %CNAME and %CNUM when hanging up, but I do most often use the buttons on the steeringwheel so thats why the backup 2-mins are implemented.

EDIT: This was perhaps not a brilliant explanation hehe. Im sitting on my work and had a lack of time to write it. If you cant figure something out, please just ask and ill try to answear as soon as im out of office.
