[Q] Weather and music widget in default launcher - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I use go launcher but the only thing i miss when i use it are the weather, music and timescape widgets. Is there anyway to get them work with any launcher (not sony's because it's so slow)
Thanks

From what i've read they only work on the default Sony launcher

Yeah i read this too so I thought maybe there's some way to fix thia

Media Widget

Hello Guys,
I'm New here
1. Sorry for my bad English. I'm from Germany
I have a stupid problem
I do not want any alternative player or Widgets (Have all tested)
Not Work or Ugly
The Stock Launcher on the Arc is Ugly.
I want to use "Go launcher Ex" (beautiful launcher!) but i can't use the "Music Player Widget"
Thats not Fine! -.-
i can Music widget app in "go launcher ex" use? I've searched for hours. Not Founds
as I said no other apps or widget
Arc Music Player and Widget the Best but Arc Launcher...
(I've actually tested all the music apps and widgets)
I'm at a loss I Hope you Understand me
In summary : Stock Music Widget using in other Launcher
Thanks !
(sry for SmileyAttack )
As far as I know you can't use any SE widgets on custom launchers.
That is true.

[Q]Sony Weather widget

i tried searching the forums but i couldnt find a sony weather widget in the horizontal(sleeping) position.
I have an old .apk but it dosent work.
i have: Arc s , jjhybrid rom, apex launcher
can someone please help ?
You won't get the weather widget to work while using a non stock launcher.
Sony weather will only work on there launcher.

Thats sad...
Do you know of any other similar widget with the little animated weather???
You could try beautiful weather widgets available on the play store as a paid app.
Not 100% sure if animated.

I tried beautiful widgets but didnt like it much.
Really wanted that stock sony weather

Apex Launcher

So, I believe this to be an Ion issue only, but I'm not totally sure. Upon changing my launcher to Apex, I can no longer access many of the widgets native to the Ion, such as the (extremely convenient) toggle buttons for WiFi/Bluetooth/NFC/Vibrate/etc, the default digital clock widget that is the first thing you see when you first start your shiny new Ion, and many others. Any help on getting these to work in Apex would be a godsend.
Note: I can still change to the Xperia Launcher and see all of the widgets perfectly fine, they're just not available to place from Apex.
Some widgets are native to the xperia launcher, try using power toggles from the market

It is the same with most of the launchers. Widgets from one launcher is not usable on the other. Nothing new.
These widgets are dependent on the launcher.
I miss the walkman widget when using another launcher, so sticking with xperia launcher.

The widgets are only compatibles with the "home xperia" original
Is it possible to unpack the apk and remove the dependencies for the home launcher?

Well, thanks for the help guys.

You could try using ported widgets that are not dependent but doubt there are very many and allot of them don't play very nice unless all Sony stuff is not in the build. I would not mess with it though as you could cause a big problem. Maybe in a few years we will get a unlocked boot haha
I miss the walkman widget.

Hi guys, i have the Xperia S and i need to use the Sony widgets in another launchers because i dont like the Sony launcher.

No, you can't. They are made to work only on Sony launcher, just like so Go Widgets are made to work only on Go Launcher.
Okay but i cant find a good widget like Walkman widget
Then use Sony launcher

Search for "plug in music". A widget that plays the walkman and can launch the walkman app

Launcher + Widget issue. Please help!

I just got my ZL today and I spent all day customizing the way I want. Got root access , deleted all the useless stuff...and then installed apex launcher. Here is where I got into trouble. On the Xperia launcher I noticed 2 very interesting widgets (sony gallery preview widget and sony notes widget) . After Apex launcher was installed I noticed I didn't had access to that 2 widgets mentioned above.
Is there a solution/workaround?
No. These work with stock launcher only.
