Hi, so I got this little problem, not a big deal but my Google Search Widget disapeared, recently I have rooted my phone, I was moving my apps to SD card, becouse I only had ~50MBs left. I moved all main apps like maps and flash, then I have re-installed them from Android Market so now everything is on SD Card.
And so I have installed Google Search too, but now widget is gone, app is OK but there's no widget, any solution to get it back on my homescreen?
Thank you!

Hello,
I had searched for this bug(?) but I found nothing like this.
Normal situation: if I want to put a new widget in the desktop, before drop the widget somewhere there is a green shadow which indicates that the placement is correct. If another widget is in the same place, this shadow is gray.
My problem: somehow, in concrete places in the desktop, at the time to drop the widget the shadow is gray and no widget is there. This occurs in the 1st desktop the hole 1st row and in the 2nd desktop, the 4th column, 2nd row. All the time are the same places and no matter which widget i try to put.
I have tried: reboot, long press in the gray places (maybe was an "invisible" widget), uninstalling some apps.
I'm newbe in android and don't want to make reset to default. Somebody knows about this issue?
Thanyou.
Never occured that problem, unistall all widgets then reboot, and then try to instal and put it.
First thing to try is wiping data for the launcher. You many need root, never tried without so don't know.
Sent via subspace beacon from my Arc.
This problem is known and is due to a modification of the location of the widgets that were here before; for instance if you move it from memory to sd card.
If you do not want to root, you have to reset the launcher, but you will have after to do your personalization again. To reset the launcher, Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All, Sony Ericsson Home, Wipe Data (sorry, my system is in French, so my translation can not be exact).
If you have rooted, you have to remove the line(s) concerned by your "ghost" widgets in the file: \data\data\com.sonyericsson.home\files\desktop.xml.gz\desktop.xml
Thanks to all for the answers and specially for thierryb because he got with the solution.

Hey guys. I bought my Xperia Arc S a couple of months ago and It had the GB OS, I decided to upgrade it to the ICS with SUS and have been enjoying it for 4 weeks now, It even kept my old desktop widgets, config, preferences and everything. The problem I have is that yesterday I deleted my old photos and videos widget (the one that lets you scroll through all of your pictures on your desktop) and I found that there's a very simillar widget in the ICS version, however, on GB it was 2x2 and now it is 4x2 and it's really wasting so much space. visually, it has room for two 1x1 widgets on each side, that's how I used to have it, but now there is just an empty space on each side, I tried nova launcher but it won't let me use the photo and pictures widget, Is there any way I can get my old GB widget back or resize the ICS one? Thanks a lot for your help.
Bump.
Also annoyed about this... Any solution? Don't want to download more apps that consumes my storage.
It must be in there somewhere as it (2x2) was present after the upgrade, but now can't get it back (only 4x2) after I accidentally removed it.

Unfortunately stock Sony Widget cannot be used on alternative launcher and yes, .............. it's really annoying
I didn't found any solution, I've asked around , but the default answer is :"Play Store it's full of widgets"
Hi guys.I have this issue. I was about to install a widget on my home screen, and after I've installed one, I see it nowhere. I mean play store said it is successfully installed, but all I see is a uninstall button, and There's no sign of the new widget in the quick widget menu nor the drawer... ive cleaned the system bloatware once, and I was thinking maybe I've deleted something that has to do with it somehow.
Any chances html viewer system app is the one?
And just got a weird thought. I've installed a firewall today and I have the apps widget installed on my home system... how the..
Additional taught... maybe the dpi change to 540 is interrupted with the widgets? If it is, how to fix it?
Help?
Hi guys,
I just got my g3 and something really strange happened.
I had the google folder on my homescreen and then deleted it, when i go into my apps i can't see the apps that were in that google folder.
I have to goto the playstore and open gmail from there. Is there any way i can get my icons back from the folder i deleted?
Just before anyone mentions, my apps aren't hidden. They're just gone
Those are just doors to your apps, you deleted the doors.
Just long press on your screen and a dialog will Pop up, go to apps and browse to the one you want, touch it and it should go to your screen.
Yup i know about that also...
I like to have a clean desktop...therefore i use the apps key all the time and access my apps from there.
Is there another way of getting my icons back to where all my other apps are?

Long press on any of them and the one you press will appear on the desktop page your on.. Your then free to long press and move, delete, edit the name etc.... At least with Nova launcher you can.
Here is my problem:
When I install a new app the widget is not in list until I reboot the tab. Been like that for every apps with widget I installed.
The apps are all on internal storage.
The tab is less than a week old.
T800
100% stock.
Looked all over the place for similar problem but found no info on this.
Thanks.
