Resizable Contacts Widget Pro
**Note**This is the new paid version, and you can still grab the free legacy version from http://goo.gl/lo1qv. Alternatively, you can just build from the source code(http://goo.gl/iDmJc) by yourself.
*
* Please make sure all the contacts and groups are managed via the Google Contacts(http://www.google.com/contacts), otherwise the groups might not be properly loaded. Because some OEM have changed the way how contacts are managed. **
The How To document is available at http://goo.gl/CkivN
Major Features:
* Add a list of contacts on your homescreen or lockscreen
* The list of contacts could be starred contacts, one of your contact groups or all contacts
* Resizable with default size to be 1
* 1, or 2 *2
* Directly dial your contacts without the quick action dialog. Phone number priority: Default -> Mobile -> Main...
* A large version with default size to 2
* 2, and a button at the bottom to directly launch the People app
* Sort your contacts by *

For those who are complaining about the low resolutions, this widget will never try to download the contact photos for you and directly get photos from the system contacts database. If you have a low resolution pictures in your People app, then there is no chance this widget would find any higher resolution copy for you.
This is an open sourced Android widget built for Android 4.0.3+ devices(lockscreen widgets only works for 4.2+ devices). It allows users to quickly view your favourite/starred contacts or any groups via a resizable/scrollable contacts grid.
##NOTEs, if you encounter any issue please uninstall your currently installed app and then re-install from the Market##
Known Issues:
* If you have multiple Google accounts synchronized to your device, the contact groups selection list would not distinguish where the group comes from
* Can not automatically refresh the widget when you make a change to the contact

I have been using this app for years, never had an issue. Works great.
Great. Just what I was looking for, but it would be better if it had not been abandoned.
App not working. Want a refund. This app doesn't work.
Very convenient to use
How can I get it to only show my starred/favorite contacts?
Not maintained anymore
Pitty you neglected it.
I used to love this app, but after having to factory reset my phone it no longer works. I have all my contacts synced with Google, but the app won't recognize any of my groups. My groups show up in the selection list, but I get a "no contacts loaded" message on the home page. I've reached out to the developer, but I got no response.
I've tried a number of contact widgets, and this is by far the best. I can squeeze a huge number of my favorite contacts ("Starred in Android") onto one homescreen, and scroll it to get to the rest. I love the sort by Times Contacted feature because it puts the ones I use most right there without scrolling.
I've used this widget for years, and just realized there is a paid version. I was happy to purchase and support this developer as it's offered at a great price and is superior to all the others. It's more customizable and one of the only widgets that allows scrolling. I have one small critique: I'd like for the widget to show the default "colored letter" tile that Google implemented in its apps (People, gmail) rather than the stock gray silhouette that is shown for contacts without a picture.
Same for me, buy this app, was great, but now did not work. Got no contacts loaded, and always i hit Edit, thers default options...
fonts are a bit larger than what they should be. customizable font size would be a great feature.
Pretty customizable. Even better when you have a launcher that allows resizing widgets
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
It's a great and smart app, thanks! Could you help me how to enable direct call from locked screen?
Love the app, except that it doesn't display my contacts
Support the author!
The bedt đđ¤đâ¤đđđđđđđđđ
Most of the bugs the free version had are gone in this one. Probably the only thing most people want now is a way to customize the order of the contact group you choose. That doesn't bother me much though, so I gave it 5 stars. Also the dev is quick to reply to your emails, if you're having an issue, contact him, he's great!
Liked it but it wont sync my picture from my contacts to the widget. Very annoyed any help.
since coming to Android. A good looking way to dial the people you most often contact.
The U.I. is less than perfect but the app works well and does exactly what it promises. Great app.
When tried to add contact from selected group, it always said "No Contact Load", only work with all contacts ... Please fix this
Been using this on all my family's phones for more than a year. Works excellent to get all are starred contacts added on the main screen at one time! Really saves time over placing individual contacts one by one.
I just bought this app, and I see how you can display contacts from a pre-existing list such as contacts, favorites, or a group you made. And contacts can be sorted by times contacted, or last time, or display name. But can I completely customize and hand pick the contacts, and the order to display in this widget on a home screen? Like the way HTC favorites works. Thanks.
It's good, but when setting up the widget it will only displays contacts from the 'my contacts' tab and not favourites, frequently contacted etc. Would have given higher rating if not for that.
Great app. But could you please add one more widget for a single user? I really need it. Thank you very much
The only actually usable contact widget according to me. Works perfectly, has features that others just can't seem to get right, I don't know why.
