Calm down, I didnt realize that you could also click on the name to make the call.

I do stand by though that I dont like the scrolling thru favorites. If I am on my first favorite, and I scroll to the last, it takes another few seconds for the pictures to scroll- nice effect, just seems useless to me.

Also, yes, you can select a favorite without a picture, but theres no way of telling what it is unless you scroll thru it. Hypothetically, if I had 10 favorites without a picture, what would even be the point of the contacts tab? I would be scrolling each time to pick my contact, and then click their name, same as the winmo contact manager.

Bottom line, I want something like the manilla2d's contact tab or HTC home.

dude.. worst case scenario, just bring up the phone's dialer and start spelling out their name with the dialer and the contact will pop up, and then simply press talk to call them

Yea, and obviously there are many solutions around it. Only reason is I guess first off I have had the mogul with HTC Home with the same 9 favorites for over a year and just very used to it. I unlock my phone and (assuming I am on the contacts tab) its a one click call to 1 of 9 people. Now, seems I have to fidget around more- and Im sure I'll get used to it. Just helpful when making a call from the car or something and dont have too much time to mess around.

Also, I posted a link in post #3 for a picture- just to be clear of what I want.

Yea I suppose, I just really like the rest of tf3d, personally dont like the contacts tab change. I'll try to get used to it, maybe someone can figure out how to edit the tabs.

well my advice is go to xda-devolopers and surf the development and hacking section and also the diamond themes section since there isnt much designing in the raphael forum.
