I have the Sony Xperia S running the latest KA05.2 ROM.
The issue I am having, one I had with KA04 as well, is that for some reason when you pinch the screen to look at the widgets it shows the Music Player widget activated but it is not there. If you try to add the widget it says "Widget already added". I searched the forums and gathered that this was an issue in the Xperia Arc as well and one had to Clear data for the homescreen in order to rectify it. I was hoping someone would have a solution for the Xperia S or either know which process is for the Homescreen since I tried to do it on every running process and it still didn't work.
Any help will be appreciated!

my question is, has anyone got the Friendstream app and widget to work in the official 2.1 release?
I tried installing FriendStream.apk and com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk from VillainROM, but it's not possible to install them.
The other thing is, has anyone working Live Wallpapers in Official 2.1 ?
Again, I tried installing LiveWallpaper.apk and LiveWallpaperPicker.apk, these worked, and when selecting background I can really select Live Wallpapers.
But, whenever I click on a Wallpaper to get the preview, LiveWallpaperPicker crashes.
I have searched around a lot and found that many people have these problems, but I found no solution. Am I just too blind to find it?
Please tell me if there's something I can do.
Thanks

Nah, you need the whole rom to get friend steam, as there are big changes in the frameworks.
Also, you using launcher pro to get lwp? Iirc u need a third party launcher to do lwp
ah thats sad... i had hoped it would need only minor changes in the apk to make friendstream work on the hero.
as for live wallpapers: i tried it with HTC Sense, Launcher2, Launcher Pro and HelixLauncher, the results are always the same: when selecting a wallpaper, I see the "Live wallpaper" option and can select it, afterwards I see the list of installed wallpapers. but whenever I click on one of the wallpapers, the "application Live Wallpaper Picker has terminated unexpectedly".
is there a fix for this?
Hi, I have Wolfbreak's GB installed on my x10. Is it possible to make the timescape and music player widgets available to other launchers as well? I can only see these widgets on SE's ARC launcher, but not on other launchers. Really love these new widgets from SE. Thanks in advance
Any developers out there care to comment? I did a little search around this forum and found that people have asked this question before, but have yet to receive an answer. I'm not looking for a solution now, just wondering if its possible. Thanks.
Hi,
Im in the same boat as you. I want to use these widget on other launchers but can only see in Sony Launcher.
Anyone know how to add the widget on other launchers?
Thanks
I know that it's a missing when some widgets can't be use on another launcher but I think this problem caused by widgets' settings. Some widgets are set up just to run with Stock launcher only.
it doesnt work like that ..i think we need to modify the framework accordingly for installing the widgets on other launchers ...
Hope its right
thnk me if it helped
Well, is there any other widgets/apps that will provide similar functionality?
Also I think many ppl would appreasiate it if someone would modify the timescape widget to work with other launchers, I do think SE is onto something there, one glance and I'm up to date...
;-)
Thanks
SE lock their widgets so they cannot be installed on any other launcher, it really annoys me becuase the stock launcher is useless (Not being able to even add more homescreens is a joke)
I would like to know if anone is actively working on this problem as quite a few people are asking about it.
Now that timescape is becoming more user friendly...with more extensions for more content....I would really like to have the widget but I refuse to use the poor excuse of the stock launcher.
This would be a good project to work on....lets see if anyone is listening

I dedicated some time previously to working on it to no avail. I BELIEVE its coded in the smali code, but if its forced to run on other launchers it doesn't work properly:
Timescape can't scroll [well can scroll but you can't see] and MIGHT take you to the wrong message/facebookthing/w.e. and only refreshes when you reboot...
Music player the little icon thing [thumbnail] does not change and the thing bar does not actively move [the time bar] and the buttons are glitchy
you name it, errors come. I gave up :L

Same issue bro. I use ADW Launcher EX... I want those features...
Would be great to have the freedom of using timescape on other launchers. the only reason i still have the stock launcher is because timescape and the music widget only work on it I guess it was a trap that was well thought of
I think pheel is the only one to have made some advancement on this project (that too, on my request ) but it faded out 2-3 months back. Hope with the senior devs (yes, greg, bring 'em on!) we can see some progress!!
Hey XDA,
I recently upgraded my Nexus S to ICS 4.0.3.
LOVE IT.
It's smooth, and bugless. The browser finally seemed to have caught up with Safari!
There is one small annoyance, however. When the phone starts, everything is great and dandy. I use PlayerPro, AudioManager and some other widgets on my homescreens.
After a while I find the widgets don't seem to refresh anymore. They are stuck on one static screen no matter what I do.
It's really annoying, as I don't know which album I'm on, or what my current audio settings are.
Is this a ICS bug? Or is there some setting I should change?
I'm using JuiceDefender in the BG. I had autokiller, but since uninstalled it.
It is rooted, with a unlocked bootloader.
ice cream sandwich:
works camera?
and usb?
Correct, everything works. why wouldn't it?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Thanks. Gotcha. Anyone have any idea? it's driving me crazy.
Same issue here - stock Nexus S 4.0.3, not rooted. I don't know what caused this, but just restarted the phone and now it is ok. We'll see if it will happen again.
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
I run ICS on my SGA and the widget refresh works fine
Hi, I know this question has been asked a few times before but still there was no solutions in any of the threads, so making it again.
I have stock rom and stock launcher on my x10i and the widgets dont seem to refresh.
1. beautiful widgets (even the clock)
2. battery %
3. status switch.
From checking out the other posts, i have a common thread that all of them had installed Beautiful Widgets, and i too started getting this problem a few days after using this app..
So if anyone has a solution, please share it.... Really a pathetic problem
HELP plzzzzz
solution!!!!

1. delete beautiful widgets animation

This is a problem that seems to occur only in ICS, but I don't know more than that. It didn't happen when I was running stock, stock/rooted, or Saurom. I'm using the Apex launcher but a quick Google search shows similar reports from people using Nova.
I'm running Flappjaxxx's ICS IMM76D UCLE2 Base (but I haven't updated to the new release that came out today). I've also noticed this on ICS Objection (with Apex launcher).
So, here's the issue: occasionally widgets will "Freeze" and stop updating. I've seen this with Beautiful Widgets (the clock will stop updating, so it will read 3:05 when it's actually 3:30), Android Pro Widgets (specifically the calendar and bookmark widgets--the calendar will not let you advance to different months, the bookmarks widget will not update to show new bookmarks if you refresh it), and the TweetCaster Pro widget (it will not update to show the latest tweets when you press the refresh button).
There is still some functionality with the widgets--they don't die completely. I can still touch the clock portion of Beautiful Widgets and get to the alarm settings. I can still touch individual days in the APW calendar widget and see appointments, and touch the header to launch the full calendar, and the APW Bookmarks widget is still scrollable, clicking individual bookmarks will launch those pages, and touching the header bar will launch the browser's default page. But for some reason they stop updating.
Things I know
1. Restarting Apex launcher appears to reset the widgets. They start fully functioning again.
That's about it.
RIght now I"m trying to determine if JuiceDefender might have something to do with it. I don't think it would because I've used JD on my other phones with no issues... HOWEVER, none of my other phones have ever run ICS. I don't know. Maybe ICS is different. I know JD had issues working with Gingerbread for a while...
Anyone have any thoughts? Questions? Experience with this? It's a bit mystifying. NOw that I know restarting Apex launcher gets everything working again it's a lot less annoying than it was (rebooting every time was a pain) but I'd still like to figure out how to make it go away.
I had same problem with beautiful widgets. my task killer was my problem.it was to aggressive
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Same problem.
Have this problem both with Omega 7.0 rom and cyanogenmod.
Some widgets freezes after some minutes when phone is in standby mode.
Just by tilting the phone and let the window be landscape and then tilt it back again will activate the widget.
But it is annoying....
i had the same problem with widgets freezing; i uninstall go weather widget and go launcher and now it s fine again !!
edit: oops it came back...no freeze with Apex but it's still freezing with Tsf..
reedit: i found my problem: it was "clever contact widget "that froze the others widgets but only with TSF shell (not with Apex!!!)

i'm using a motorola atrix 2 with stock ics and this's happening to me also , it's not any app that's causing this problem , it's a bug in ics as to many .. searched gooogle .. no launcher can help , i tried nova prime and apex but same happens to both , but now i'm on stock blur again and it doesn't happen so frequently but still happens, they say that only google can help in this case , they have to give an update .. so we have to hopw that they'll give us one soon .. until then we have to restart the launcher
note- try an anlog clock on your home screen , or anlaog and digital both home screens in a one home screen , you might notice that digital clock freezes when the analog clock works fine , i don't know why but that's happening to me ..
