[HELP REQUEST] Launcher & Music Player Widget - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, thanks for reading...
I have two problems that I think are related to the stock launcher:
One of the desks of the launcher shows a black shadow instead of a green shadow whenever I try to put a widget or icon in that place. I can't put anything there and it's a full row.
The Music Player Widget cannot be added because the launcher says "Widget already added" over and over.
I already have tried clering the data from the launcher; even tried factory reset but didn't work.
Note: I'm using a brand new Xperia Play with 2.3.3 and .145 stock ROM, not rooted. Everything is like new, but I have these issues.
Any help would be aprecciated. Thanks in advance...

Thats an odd problem never heard of it before... Why don't you try this... Get the Xperia s launcher from themes and apps section and install that...it will ask u to replace system app just say ok...it might work give it a try

It probably wont work, to use aosp dialer, you need aosp telephanyservice.apk, and i think it dependent on framework, and we have SEMC framework not aosp.

Alright. let me know the result when you've done. I'm a bit afraid to try because I don't wanna get Force Close.
As AndroHero said - you cant just install the apk, you will have to use a custom ginger bread rom or a go phone/contacts program since its vital function. installing doesnt do a thing, then install the stock one and you get force close

I don't understand of what are you saying...
i tired it doesnt work, no difference, you will have to flash it with a non sony rom or use a program like go contacts to replace it,since is apart of the framework.

Nova Launcher is for Android 4.0 (ice cream sandwich)
On Android 2.3 you can use GO Launcher. It's a free app on Android market.

Nova launcher is a system app,so u need to ROOT your phone and push it to your phones system/app folder or flash a custom rom where nova launcher is already included.
If you want to root your phone,search for cf-root kernel,then find the kernel that matches your rom(eg.jvu for jvu).download odin 185 from your pc and flash the tar file in pda(odin).
But search galaxy s forum on how to do it.INSANITY rom has a very good toturial on how to operate and flash from odin
Good luck

If u want a cool launcher then go to market and try go launcher or 360 launcher or DX home launcher they all got some nice features.
About roms try them out,if u go for version b.32 or b.33 almost every things works perfekt.
About radio,there is no "stock" radio yet go to market

thanks bro for reply i will test themes but why original stock room have FM radio why costom room have no?
and can please tell me what version b.32 or b.33? how to get it ? please tell me link i will test
I would highly recommend you stay clear of AOKP`s b32 and b33 if you are a new to flashing, firstly because a lot of things are not yet fixed, for instance your external sd will not show up when connecting to pc, duplicate songs in your media player, etc. These issues are all fixable, but they just don`t work out of the box.
Radio doesn`t work on any ics rom due to samsung holding the drivers for it as proprietary, and refusing to post them as oprn source. The Spirit FM app is the way to go if you need radio, though there have been reports of blown speakers on i9000.
If you are a newbie, I would recommend you try the cyanogenmod9 nightlies.

Oh, and as for your request,
you can achieve barrel like animations by using various launchers and then choosing the transition animation of your choice in the launcher`s settings.

Sorry he is right, nova launcher is on market and there is a premium(paid) upgrade also.
I was thinking of apex launcher
about aokp b. 32 and 33. They work perfect,only issue is external sd isn't recognized be your PC, but file explorer and some music players like poweramp recognize any music file on external SD-card. But he's right Samsung cm9 miui doesn't

Sent from my Wonder
As far as I know on stock ROM without supercharge, its normal for launcher redraws(lag) especially when running lots of apps.My advice is If you dont't want to run the supercharger then you need to clear the memory often either using the stock task manger or 3rd party app. However, this effect is much less on CM9 and I actually don't use V6 script on CM9.

What happens to your phone is normal. If you use too many apps you have too many background process that slow down the cpu.
Supercharge your phone is a smart answer and a perfect solution for you problem.
Had u check if u are really rooted (the busybox problem)?
Try with "root checker" in play store.
Thank you all for help..

Launcher is killed by Android to free RAM, but it didn't have chance to save the stuff, so next time launcher is reopened, it opens the old layout.
Use V6 Supercharger to prevent launcher getting killed.
i already use V6 supercharger. I try uninstall and install again. thanks

Really? no one knows....
this still is an issue for me
You can extract the framework resolution apk and change the images. But make a backup and make sure the images are the right size. Either use apktool or ninjamorph which is an app version of apktool. Make sure you backup first because it will take a while to get it right and you'll get lots of boot loops. I had help doing it when changing my gb lock screen and I still got boot loops. But if you need help pm attack hell be able to help if he has time

I have solved this, but for anyone else all you need to do is convert the Rom to nxt and replace the screen file.

that's for the nxt lockscreen. our stock lockscreen should just sit in the framework.jar/framework-res as @abdel12345 said.
