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.

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

Is it possible to add the photos and videos widget to another launcher like launcher pro or go launcher ex??
Sent from my R800i using XDA
I think GO launcher ex has a widget like that free from the go store. But to use the sony one you have to have the stock home, its something in the framework or libs or something like that that makes it usable only with the sony home launcher

i have: Arc s , jjhybrid rom, apex launcher

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
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.
Is there a mod to move app drawer to the middle on tw launcher sorry if I missed it some were else have looked till my eyes hurt
I know I can use alternate launcher but I want tw widgets
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Unfortunately no , please correct me if im wrong.
Nova Launcher Prime, with Jorte (calender app) & Transparent clock & weather are the replacement TW widgets
Ive been to note 1 and theres no famous mod for this untill now. You can use launchers in the playstore but then you loose touchwiz
