I took me quite a while!

The widget is for me clearly the best thing about Mycontacts. I am afraid it would put a lot of the other Non-developers out there off, if they also have troubble following the instruction.

It is now restarting. But not only the widget. The entire app! Thats more than I actually wanted...

Is there any chance you are going to include an option for automatic restart of the widget (and just the widget!) in a future update?
Yes.... It is on the plans...

I decided to not "restart on boot" automatically for now because it takes a while.

Before I make it the default option I want to delay "reloading the contacts" so it does not impact the "phone startup time".

In theory I don't need to load the entire contacts database just to show the desktop but I have to work out several details before I can make it work this way.
