Can you do the same to the Xperia S Clocks and Xperia S Weather widgets?
Fail man....:-/
What I did
1. Uninstalled the old on off widget with with titanium backup,
2. And your apk was not installing referring that it's an system app...
So what I did-
1. Move your apk to system>app changing permission to rw-r-r
2. Then I installed it
But the widget picker remained the same old gingerbread alike....
I think you missed something important in your instruction.....i really want ics widget picker:-(
Btw I'm using Xperia S launcher by sirajir

Are you on GB or ICS? If you are in GB you need to update to ICS to get the widgetpicker. Then on the ICS home, Xperia S widgets will not work. To make them work, you need to do what I asked you to do above.
And I will make a flashable zip and upload it tomorrow. It will ensure a 100% installation.

I have the same situation. I'm on ICS 4.0.4
I'm using serajr's MOAL mod which is meant for GB but works in ICS.
However, the widget picker is replaced with the old GB widget picker.
Not like the ICS widget picker which is thumbnail view.
I think widget picker is not a separate app but incorporated in the Home.apk.
Upon installing MOAL by serajr, it replaces Home.apk as well as preferences.
PS
If there's anything I missed or misunderstood, pls. tell me

I've already tested it. I'm using this: [App] Tweaked Xperia S Home Launcher (Dock and/or Corners) for MDPI - v6.0
I'm still stuck with the GB widget picker..
Can you answer my question?
Is the widget picker a separate app called widgetonoff.apk or incorporated in home.apk?

You did not get the purpose of my post.
See, the reason you use the Xperia S home is to get the Xperia S widgets. (that's leaving those cool features that Serjar added to the Home apk).
Why did serjar use Xperia S home and not the default home? Because of the widgets.
I have just made it possible to use widgets which exactly look like the Xperia S toggle widgets in any home app. That is you can use Xperia S toggle widget in Xperia ICS home app (this home app has the cool widget picker). These widgets can be installed by the apk I provided.
About your question, widget picker is a seperate apk and has dependencies on the Xperia ICS home, and so can only be used with Xperia ICS home. It is not incorporated as you think, but in effect it is like that.

Rick

Hi.
I have reverted back to default ICS home.
I installed Xperia S widgets provided in this thread.
I then flashed your widgetonoff app to enable those widgets in the ICS widget picker.
But the Xperia S widgets like the clock can't be picked in the widget picker.. The homescreen is still empty so space is not an issue.
Where did I go wrong?
Thanks.

Since you say you flashed the zip provided here you should be able to use the toggle widgets of Xperia S. You will see widgets by the name On/ Off Bluetooth, On/ Off WiFi and so on. Add them to get the Xperia S toggle widgets.
I will upload the clock widget today.

Oh.. I misunderstood that one again! My apologies.
So it's just toggle widgets as stated in OP. My mind was thinking that it'll enable all Xperia S widgets that I downloaded previously and able to use it in widget picker.
Thank you for clearing that out again.

the stock calendar is good and also the weather widget.
(better backup the walkman app and widget for wt19i before installing the music app)
buggy on launcher and music app coz of small resolution.
cheers!
Yeah I've tried a few of them:
- the earth live wallpaper is pretty slick. Tap the earth fromt the corner of the screen and it changes the view of the earth like on the PS3. You see the moon too.
- the music app doesn't work well on the Mini. It's sized poorly for the Mini and you can't stop the music. I'm not that fond of that app generally.
- for the clocks, install widget picker too. The clock selection is good and it includes that really elegant new Sony S clock.
- I'm tersting the new home but haven't been able to get it to work. I deleted the old home, installed the new on, correct permissions, wiped cache and dalvik and still it looks exactly like the older one...
I've been able to install all of these apps on the stock SE rom without needing a root explorer. If anyone wants to read an original article on this:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/02/25/xperia-s-home-launcher-and-widgets-leaked/
Xperia Mini
The new launcher is little different, but the biggest difference is that is supports newly added widget (couldn't make them work on old launcher).
Anyway, since I've been using the modded 4x4 SE launcher, bottom apps have been cropped out due to size of the screen.
It would be neat if someone correctly resized the music player, it's really cool (it even fills out mp3 tags and cover art for you )

i want the original launcher without corners.. if someone can modify it like that to fit xperia mini

but i mean this new launcher modified to work and look as it does on hdpi devices.. right now i´m using a modified nozoomi launcher which works good, but it would be nice to have the newest version from sony. the launcher i have can only handle the new photowidget... and i want em all...

Are you using a different launcher? SE widgets will only work on the stock launcher.

Dear all,
I have made a port of the Xperia T Launcher with some added features.
It is supposed to work on every device with ICS / JB.
Some Xperia users with stock firmware have reported FC after installation.
If you are experiencing the same problem, can you please send me a logcat?
Thanks
* Install the app as a normal apk. It won't replace your stock Xperia launcher.
EDIT:
The FC problem is now solved: Solution info
Dude please name the features you added and there is no need to port the launcher
You just take the home.apk from system dump and upload it
You didnt port it did you

Well...
I (myself) added some features such as:
- User selectable number of home screens (up to 11) and default screen selection
- Customizable desktop and app drawer grid size (from 3 x 3 to 9 x 9)
- Infinite scrolling on the desktop and the app drawer
- Resizable widgets (resize even normally non-resizable widgets)
- Hide apps from the app drawer
- Show / hide icon labels on the desktop, the dock and the app drawer
- Enable / disable app sharing on social networks
- Enable / disable tactile feedback (vibration)
- Icon packs support (load icons from: Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher and GO Launcher themes / icon packs)
- Backup and restore launcher settings
- Support for any resolution and any display density (custom DPI)
- Others
Running OK so far, suggestions would be to allow different home button and folder icons. And of course widgets of timescale.

Hi.
I'm currently using Serajr´s four corner GX Home Launcher: See thread.
I need a digital clockwidget, that is compatible to open my alarm when I pick it, like sony's clockwidgets do, but I can't find any clocks that are able to do so and works with this launcher.
Have tried playstore and several clock widgets in there, but none of them do the job.
Does anyone have a solution or some other clock widget that's compatible with the alarm?

Have you tried this one? If not then try it as it seems like exactly what you are looking for (I also use it ).
BTW I am sure the Sony ones should work, the clockwidgets.apk. But for now try the above one.

It does not work for me either.

I have attached the clockwidgets.apk from stock Xperia Go ICS, try and use this one, push it into the system and set the correct permissions. If this does not work then I have no idea on how to get it to work.
I think you're Loking about xperia NXT Clock Widget . So i think it works only in Advanced Launcher . so maybe this is the problem that you use another Launcher
Thanks for trying
