[Q] How to use Xperia Arc Widgets in other Launchers - Xperia Arc General

After installing LauncherPro and Go Launcher, I realized that the Music Player Widget, the Timescape Widget, and the Picture & Video Widget does not show up in the widget list for any launcher other than the Sony Ericsson Launcher.
Is there a way for me to use these widgets on the other Launchers?
Thanks

Its because they just dont work I think it is its like HTC widgets dont work on other launchers at least I dont think they do I might be wrong but sits am not

That's correct, a lot of manufacturer's own widgets don't function when using an alternative launcher.
It's a shame, I'd looked forward to using TimeScape with LauncherPro...

There's no way to port it to go launcher? (music widget and picture&video widget)

adw with samsung widgets

does anyone know if this is possible, i would like to use adw but still be able to use the standard samsung widgets,
No. Samsung widgets are part of TouchWiz launcher.
Yeah i tried this myself and mole, samsungs widgets are exlsuive to its launcher. I always said if its part of the phone's software, it should be able to run on any other home replacment with scrollable widget options.

i only need the buddiednow widget, i wonder if you can install it as a regulart APK and if then it would show up on ADW.

Htc widgets on other home screens

Hi is it possible to use htc widgets (such as contacts, music and clock) on alternative home screens? I love launcher pro, but i love htc widgets too... is there a way to import those widgets on those interfaces?
No. As simple as that.
Ouh
Are there similar widgets on the market?
Similar widgets (calendar, people, etc) come with the paid version of LauncherPro.

If you are looking for a similiar clock from sense, you could download the sense analog clock. It can display weather information too.

It's not actually a widget, but what about the calendar reminders. I find that the stock reminder stinks...so I use Calendar Snooze. http://www.appbrain.com/app/calendar-snooze/com.bitfire.development.calendarsnooze
HELLZ YEAH !!!
This is a great source..
Thanks for this thread
STICKY PLEASE !! hahaha..
To the OP, please update the original post with all of the suggestions that are posted so that if this list grows to several pages, someone won't have to read through it all to see if it's already been suggested.
Thanks again.
Colorize widget - great replacement for Facebook/Friendstream and agenda calendar. You also have a contacts and messaging widget as well.

yes it does.. but I don't people to be limited to just Launcher Pro. This is more if people want a HTC look with say GO launcher, ADW, Zeam, etc...

see comment above! I don't want users to be limited to LauncherPRO when GOlauncher EX or ADW EX are worthy launchers..
would the colorize widget be scrollable on touchwiz or only for the previously mentioned launchers? ( I ask since touchwiz has other scrollable widgets.)
edit2: so i just tried to sign in with colorize and I got a suspicious activity alert, although i did get to play a fun guessing game at my friends photos to verify who i am.
edit: Also I just saw on appbrain the dev of visiual bookmarks also has visual contacts
Also if we are going for the look of sense the we need Fancy Widget v1.3 (picture) I can link it if it is not against the rules.

Xperia Music Player Widget

Hello everyone
Can someone tell me where i might get the stock arc music player widget? I guess I somehow deletet it :-(
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk
i didn't think there was a way to delete it, just press and hold on your home screen then select widgets then scroll down to Music Player
Unfortunately I can't seem to put it back... I don't find it anymore in the widget list.
You see that music player widget on all promo shots of the arc and it is also included when you the first time start up your arc (and don't modify it like i did ....)
Did you change the home launcher? If so you can only use it on the stock home

@IntMD
Yep, changed the launcher to GO LAUNCHER. well I guess that's the price I had to pay for switching launchers
is it possible to get this widget for cyanogen or miui?
Nope. This only works on the stock home launcher.
same thing happened to me, download widgetsoid and you can make your own music player widget

[Q] Using Xperia-Widgets when using other launchers?

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

Poweramp has the best music widget i dont use a picture one though
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
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.
