BetterCut doesn't work with Launcher Pro on 2.2. This is very, very disappointing.
Any other similar programs that actually do work?
As far as I know FolderOrganizer works for changing icons on every launcher I have tried it on, and its free.

After installing ADW Launcher EX, i noticed that the Music-Widget, Timescape Widget, and the Picture & Video Widget don't show up in the widget list.
Is there a way to use these widgets within ADW Launcher?
I tried many other widgets from all over the markets, but couldnt find good alternatives for Music and Picture-widgets.

They only work with the Sony home launcher. The widgets depends on something in the launcher. It's the same on htc phones some widgets only work with the native launcher as they depends on the sense overlay of the UI wich is only there in the native lancerer. All 3rd party launchers depends only on the android fw and therefore does not support the different overlays of UI's done by the different company's afaik.

This sucks These widgets are great, but i want my launcher to be more flexible and customizable, so i installed ADW....
So i think i have to search again for some alternatives

I already tried out nearly all music-apps/widgets, but there is no widget having the feature(s) i want. It's especially the progress-bar when playing a song and showing how long the song is.
I was wondering this as well, Sucks that you can't get the widget. I was using Winamp for a while, that worked well and has wireless sync with my PC. Only problem is that when using the bluetooth headphones (mw600) the controls always open the default music player.

yeah, they require the SE Framework, and as such won't work with other home launchers!
You could try MIUI music player. Search in the generel android themes and app section.

I tried it, but it doesnt have this feature.
I remember i read somewhere that if you clear the launchers default it will ask you if you want to launch holo or the manufacturers overlay of android when you go home. Can i do that to my tab with ics?
Just the launcher? That doesn't work on every device, In fact, I think the only device that ever did it was the EVO 4G, mainly because HTC left the other launcher in there, which is uncommon. You can always install Trebuchet (not on Google Play), Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher. The three are based on the original 4.0 launcher. My personal favorite it Apex, it's the smoothest of them all and it feels like you're still using vanilla.
Apologies if this has already been posted.. The latest version of Walkman (8.4.A.1.4) appears to finally allow use of the Walkman Widget in third party launchers, and on custom ROMS, something previously unavailable, which was incredibly annoying if, like me, you use Nova or Apex. Adding some widgets to my launcher, I spotted the Walkman widget in the list and it works perfectly. I'm currently running CM11 with Nova and finally have access to widget, so if you've been missing it, or trying to use third party widgets, it's now available regardless of which launcher you use.
I can't confirm if it works on Stock with a third party launcher, but I can't see any reason why it shouldn't,, perhaps someone on a stock based rom could confirm.
It's nice to finally have the widget available, so thought I'd pass on the tip!
Yup, it works on any rom with any launcher. The only difference is that stock roms still have the MusicWidget.apk so you practically have 2 widgets to choose from on stock Sony launcher.
So my question is a little different than the basic one I've seen answered here ("can you use stock widgets on 3rd party launcher")
What I want to know is... if I uninstall them as system apps then reinstall the apk as a regular app will the widget show up on Nova Launcher? Really missing the LG Health widget and LG Weather widget.
Thanks
I really doubt it, those widgets are hard coded to the stock launcher if I am not mistaken.
