Root Quick Contact Widget

Man, that does nothing for me. Seriously? I might just sbf. This is annoying me. I am using RootExplorer. Should I be pulling them a different way?

It's a lot easier to pull the .apk files if you put the .zip file on your computer and then unzip it. Then just copy the .apk files to your sdcard.
 
That seems to be working. Now I just need to figure out what exactly I removed that had that dropdown in it.
 
Well, that's that. I sbf'd and its still not happening. Is it a GB thing? Is it a rom thing? I need something. Any ideas?
 
So, Liberty for .340 has exactly what I'm talking about. Anyone with Liberty willing to send me the contacts apk? Also, whats the best way to replace the blurcontacts apk with that contacts apk? Worse comes to worse I can flash an image of Liberty .340 and copy the apk, but then how do I replace the blurcontacts apk with it?
 
I have a problem with my arc s contact list too but not sure if its caused by the problem about QuickContactWidget. After I open my contact list, i cannot press into the contact content which means i cannot view the persons details. and now i have to press hold the person and press 'edit number before call' to dial the number which is annoying. Any idea regards to my problem ??

Okay, so I went back to Froyo and really miss the contact shortcut that would drop a little menu down with the option to call them, sms, or email. I think it is in the QuickContactWidget.apk. Can anyone verify this for me?

If so, is there anywhere I can get the apk? It should work for froyo, right? I have a few zips of different GB that I could possibly extract the apk from, but when I try this I get a parsing error. Probably some technical reason that is a bit beyond me.

Anyway, I just want to have the contact shortcut with the dropdown menu again. Any help? :D

Have you installed any contact apps? Are you rooted?

Also, here's the forum for the Arc S. It doesn't seem to be very active, so you may not get much response there, but it might be helpful to ask some others who have the same phone.

My bad didn't do enough research. I installed Root Explorer and followed your instructions changed the QuickContactResearch permissions to

User:Read and write
Group: Read
Others: Read

but after reboot, my problem still exist...

You just need the .apk. You can not install it like a regular .apk, you need to move it into the system/app folder and then change the permissions to:


-------R W E
Owner X X
Group X
Others X


Then just restart your phone.
