    Direct Message widget missing - replacement?

    I use an app called More Icon Widget. This creates mini icons for opening apps, settings, direct calls or direct messages. I have had the paid version since my S3 and condense every frequent action to a single home screen. I hope this helps Posted via the Android Central App

    Ars Technica Review

    "That aside, we are deeply impressed with the Galaxy S II, even on Sprint?s network, and especially for $199.99 with a two-year contract. No phone is perfect, but the Galaxy S II comes the closest we?ve seen." And this phone has basically been out for 6 months! Good work Samsung. Can't wait to...
