Contacts.app on your homescreen - 1.1.3

**Kyle Matthews** · 01-31-2008, 12:52 AM

Erica at TUAW suggested a method to add your contacts app to your home screen, which I then packaged up for Installer. If you'd like to find it, it is on Installer under Productivity as Contacts | HomeScreen.

And no, of course this does not remove any apps - that just happens to be the only app on that page.

(Yah, I KNOW someone was gonna ask).

I have tried installing this 4 times on my iPhone. I am still on 1.1.2. The description in installer.app shows 1.1.3 and 1.1.2. I never get an icon on my homescreen after I install it.

Am I just doing something wrong?

Hmm. I have only tested it on 1.1.3, but have heard it works fine on 1.1.2 as well. Can anyone with 1.1.2 confirm it either working or not?

Yes.

Clever, eh.

**bconnor** · 01-31-2008, 01:11 PM

i can't find it. it's in the community sources?

**bconnor** · 01-31-2008, 01:17 PM

nevermind i added the mmi source and there it is!

**kyteflyer** · 01-31-2008, 02:20 PM

Why not just use Customize to make the app visible? Thats what I did, weeks ago. (also I tried the installer version after removing visibility via Custo, and it did not show. fw 1.1.2, maybe it wont work on earlier firmware)

**ryn0128** · 02-01-2008, 07:21 PM

**dogmatic** · 02-01-2008, 10:05 PM

I'm in the same boat as Mohdnoor above. I've installed it and now it won't remove the icon when I uninstall. UGH! Any help on how I can remove this (wretched) thing will be greatly appreciated.

@poetic_folly no, this does not work under 1.1.2, i have tried doing it manually and using your method from the installer source, i have gone nuts trying to get this to work, but it doesn't; perhaps doing the way erica said would work under 1.1.2, because as far as i have understood, you used the method that guy posted (OJ Dorson's simplified solution that he posted on tuaw), i don't know i'm just saying.
I thought that i was the only one with this problem since it said there that it was for 1.1.2 as well, but now i see i'm not the only one.

**eyallevi9** · 02-02-2008, 02:07 PM

all of you can just use "customize" if you want this app you don't even need to install it it will show in customize under manually order icons then choose to show it or Not

**mirceahr** · 02-02-2008, 02:15 PM

I know i could use customize, but i just don't want to, i don't have any apps because i have no use for them, i only use converter, that's it; but having the contacts on my springboard is useful, and i have it on my 1.1.3 iphone, and i would like to have it on my other iphone as well

**harleydlx** · 02-03-2008, 01:15 AM

Like Mohdnoor and other's I too have been left with an icon on the home page after uninstall. Any ideas on how to remove it please. Thx.

When I Install This App It Makes My Wallpaper Disspear From My Sceen To Lock. Also The Photo Under Contact Does Not Save As Soon As I Exit Out Of Edit Contact Can Someone Please Help!!! Iv Searched Everywere!!!

I'm using v1.1.4 and I have a slightly different issue.

I was able to put the contacts on the home screen via installer and can access my contacts. Where I have a problem is if there is and update in the installer for any app I have and run through the installation process and exit the installer, the updates work but the contacts icon disappears.

What I end up doing is going back into installer and either have to install the contact home screen app again or sometimes it shows in the uninstall forder. When I uninstall it and exit the installer the contacts icon reappears on the home scrreen. Kind of bizarre.

Edit
I have Customize 2.0 beta 10 and I do not see any option/preference to make an app visible. Am I missing something?
