Old D2 moto widgets?

---

Is there any way to get the old Droid 2 widgets to work on the Droid 4?

Or maybe I just need an alternative. I found it really handy to use a contact widget, in a 1x1 form. When clicked it would present a list of the known phone numbers for a contact and then dial whichever one was selected.

I don't really like the wide banner favorite contact widget. It's nice, it's just not for me.

If I create a shortcut app action from contacts I get that annoying drop-down menu. It's a row of icons showng call, contact, text, e-mail, chat or navigate. Again, this is a handy thing but not what I'd like.

I just want the old Moto widget. It made it very easy to have a single icon on the home page for a person, but still present a simple drop-down of phone numbers. Very handy when using the phone in the car dock.

So is there a way to use those old widgets on the D4? Or alternatives?

It looks like the closest thing you can do for now is a direct dial for each number, but that looks like it's not what you're looking for because you'd have a separate icon for each number.

If you could find a system dump from a D2 maybe you could add that functionality by installing the correct apk. Not sure though.

I still have my rooted D2. Can I pull what's needed from it?

Possibly. If you can find the correct .apk on your droid 2, upload it to dropbox, download from dropbox on your D4, then install the apk. I really have NO idea if that would actually work but it might be worth a try.

Or, Bluetooth transfer the file between phones........ or email...


But, those old Motorola apps usually needed every other blur app all working together to work... But good luck
