Hello everybody. I just wanted to share this tip or trick with you.
I love the stock Xperia widgets (Walkman, Gallery, Notes, Clocks etc.) They were available on stock Sony Launcher. But when I installed Nova Launcher and I started tweaking, I found that stock Xperia widgets had disappeared
I tried Sony Yuga Launcher, same case. Apex, same case. WP7, same case. Nemus, same case.
Then I used some brains. I went to my system folder and deleted musicwidget.apk, clocks.apk(the one with the black clock as an icon) and noteswidget.apk and photowidget.apk. I went to my ROM's zip, went to system\app\ directory, and fetched the same files. I installed them as normal apps and voila They are now visible in the Sony yuga launcher. Not working on Nova yet. But works on Yuga. Could people test it on other launchers and tell me. Thanks
Yeah some widgets from Stock doesn't work on 3rd party Launchers, (Go, Apex, ADW, and Nova). will you include Timescape? that would be awesome if Timescape will work atleast on Nova or ADW.

just looking here It'll be great for timescape to work on 3rd party launchers no matter what xperia phone
Why is it I'm using Yuga launcher but I can still used the widgets. I installed Yuga home launcher like a normal app

You can use the digital clock widget. Use root explorer and move it to system/apps and change it to the proper permissions.
Photo widget doesn't work without arc launcher as far as i can tell.

Yea I got the clock and the news and weather widgets. I want the photo and timescape widgets.
Ahhh... if only you could have a 5x5 icon grid in the arc launcher I would just us it
I love xda app on my Xperia X10i phone =D

I dont believe we got the timescape widgets working yet...I think were missing the libraries or something. But in all honesty I tried the photo widget and it just caused major lag man, not even worth it.

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:

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 )

Do you mean the Arc launcher? I have that.
thanks
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... (greedy) ;D
this is not nozomi launcher guys...background dock is not lighten ....this just based on Arc launcher ....isn't?

the 3rd preview on the attachment is photo and video widget not the arc launcher. a modified arc launcher.
reflections
the real xperia s launcher seems to have reflections under the icons on arc, play, ray etc

No. It is Xperia S launcher since it support new widgets and Arc launcher doesn't support it.
could be arc launcher..
photowidget works on arc launcher

Hi, is this possible to use stock sony clock and switches on different launchers? I tried using AppWidgetPicker but they just dont appear on the widget list
Sent from my Xperia P with SSpeed ROM.
I was asking this myself.. I'd appreciate a solution for this
Sony widgets works only on Sony stock launcher. What AppWidgetpicker does is to group the same widgets of different sizes into one entry.
Yes, but it worked with other phones in the past...

If you like sony widgets you should give a try to launcher 360, you can find it on market, its very fast and good looking launcher with beautiful widgets inside
You mean that app with chineese name in market? Im using go launcher with ics theme, roboto font ftw

Yes, its came from chines developers but its really good
I'm going to try it, but now im happy with my personalized Go Launcher

Go launcher is good too, but iv found that launcher 360 is more faster than go launcher, but afters all its only a matter of taste...
Dear friends,
I have been install lately, the Nova launcher,
i read about him here in the forum, and i saw very beautiful home screens and widgets.
But after i install, this is very basic, i dont have any widgets that i have in the Xperia home screen,
like the extra clock, or small apps in a qube, and i searched the settings, but nothing...
can someone guide me in it?
SXU, 4.0.4 ICS, Root + Recovery.
Sony widgets are only compatible with Sony launcher. Weatherlove is a nice clock with weather.
For xperia widgets use stock launcher. I suggest to use launchers like apex or nova only on non stock based roms.

Stock widgets don't work on Nova. You have to download your own. Some are free, the best ones cost money though.
I recommend Beautiful Widgets (paid) and Zooper (has free version) to start you off.
You can try UCCW (Ultimate Custom Widget) if you have the patience to create your own.
Thank you all...
Backed to stock one.

Hi guys !
I have XU 4.0.4 ICS 6.1.1.c.1.0 and i need best launcher . What do you think ? Nova or Apex ? Maybe other ??
Tell me as fast as possible..
Thanks
Stock is my fav
U may try trebuchet bt it needs to b installed as a system app to include widgets
Next launcher is buttery smooth bt transitions take to long...
Apex n nova r identical
Apex supports tablet ui and useful if u r using xposed framework
Best Laucher [ Xperia U ]
Hmm.. I will try trebuchet but is there any guide how to install it as a system app to include widgets ?

Restart
