Default Buddies now?

Does anyone know where I can get the buddies now widget for captivate? I lost it when I flashed cognition's rom and would like to have it back on my phone. Thanks in advance for all of the help!

Look for the JI6 2.2 system dump somewhere in these forums. It has it in there. I'd point you to it but being on my phone that's a little hard

The Buddies now widget is part of the TW Launcher. You won't be able to use the widget without using the launcher. The last few Cog Roms have not had the TW Launcher included. However Launcher Pro+ has a widget called friends that is essentially the same thing.

I too have been wondering if anyone has had the inclination, knowledge, or time to separate the widget from TW.

I like the BN widget better than the Friends widget in LPro. I like the one-touch call/message feature, the facebook/twitter updates, and especially the overall ui. I've looked in Market, AppBrain, throughout XDA and Googled it. Nothing that has that roladex-like action to it that isn't really buggy. (Tried Ultimate Faves Pro...didn't work so well).

Anyone working on something...?

Theres not much that the devs can do without the source code. You can go to the Samsung Open Source site and see the 2.1 source is posted but there won't be anything for 2.2 until it gets officially released.

Even when you put TouchWiz30LAuncher.apk on the phone, the widget chooser still is not present. I've tried transferring over the widget .apks and placing them in system/apps with no luck. If anyone knows which file is the widget chooser, it would certainly help the cause. For reference, I've been extracting files from the the JH7_OTA.zip file that's on here somewhere.

Hi!
I'm very new to the Galaxy S (i9000) forum, I had a T-mobile Pulse before so i'm not new to android. And here is my question, is it somehow possible to install Buddies now widget on Darky's V8.1 rom. I searched the i9000 forum for it but the only topic I found for buddies now is this one. I hope i asked at the right place.
