Sony Xperia S lockscreen - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a go on my friends Sony xperia s and the lockscreen is really cool, it lets you controlled your music and preveiw text messages and missed calls, I was just wondering if there's a mod anywhere for CM7 or a theme for widgetlocker or milocker that has full functionality like the original lockscreen?
Thanks

nobody has an answer? im guessing it would need to be ported from a sony to the atrix

I also think that you need a port for this.
Meanwhile you can use widgetlocker with xperia theme, music widgets and download a free sms pop up app from the play store.

Try "missed it"
You can put any application notifications on the lockscreen using this as long as its notifications appear in the notification bar.
P.S: Wrong section. Should be in Q&A.

Use missed it. You can configure notifications from any apps to appear in the lockscreen. It will tell you how many facebook instant messages you have, gmail messages, emails, etc. You can configure the way it looks too.
Missed It on google play:

Does Missed It really work for the stock Sony lockscreen?
If it does that would be awesome!

No it doesn't. You must use Widgetlocker or similar.
I think none of the answerers noticed that our asker here meant stock lockscreen.
The stock lockscreen does really lack some functionality...
Also, for me the upcoming calendar event doesn't work at all, annoying since this would be very important for me.
But until there's the stock theme for another launcher I'm not gonna change.
I too, face the same problem. Whatsapp on xperia s also doesnt have badges, unlike their messaging app. Is there a work-around for this? For stock xperia s?

[Q] Are there any Xperia NXT apps/widgets that can be used on an unrooted mini pro?

Are there any Xperia NXT style apps/widgets like the panel for toggling wifi, gps, mute etc which can be installed and used on an unrooted phone?

Unrooted phone...???? dont think so!
No, you have to root in order to replace your home launcher and then install and wiew the widgets

There are widgets available in the playstore like the status switch and toggle widgets for gps, wifi, mute etc which can be directly installed on unrooted phone.
I just wanted to ask if there was a modified widget apk of xperia nxt that could be installed in a similar way?

stock music widget on custom launchers

I've got XMP on stock rooted .431 with locked BL with Xperia V Walkman app and music widget. Is it possible in any way to use this "stock" widget on custom launchers, like e.g. LauncherPro? because it won't show when opening widget list while using such launchers.
i also would like to have the stock widget on a launcher but as far as i knw few of the stock widgets do not turn up on launchers...
You cannot use the stock music widget on other launchers. because that widget is only created for Xperia launcher.
android sdk doesn't support "length of the music" on a widget.so that widget only works with sock launcher.
aw crap. thanks for explaining why it won't work :/

Moving to alternate launcher?

Hi I'm thinking of changing the Xperia home for something else. What of the alternate launchers would you recommend me? My priorities is efficiency, customizability, good organization and nice look. Moreover I tried some and noticed that it can't insert some of built-in default widgets, namely Xperia clock 2x1, Xperia notes 2x2 and Xperia system toggles 2x1. How do I use these in 3rd party launcher? Can I install these widgets as standalone app so that be accessible from any launcher?

If u want a fast, stable and customizable launcher, I would definitely recommend nova launcher... Smooth as silk!
For the widgets part, as far as I know, Sony widgets are only supported in Sony made launchers!
U could try xperia z launcher, its really good n smooth too! (but mobile needs to be rootednfor that)
Cheers..
XZ launcher seems not to be found on google play and too bad the 3 named widgets not available outside Xperia Home. I'm already used with them and thanks for confirming Nova, I have hesitated between this apex and sslauncher.

Vote for nova
I've tried it. But switched and used Sony Launcher again.
I like those widgets too
Sorry for going a bit off topic but, is there any Launcher that allows us to change its menu icon..
Most of the launchers come with AOSP menu icon and aren't changeable. I want one that can be changed to xperia like.

Yet a suggestion for acceptable Xperia clock widget replacement? I hate Clock JB+ and several ones I don't like too. Mostly I miss the tight widget integration with alarms and small size (2x1 only) with decent look. I also want to have shown date within the widget.
Is there way to extract these internal widgets somehow and install as standalone app?
