Hello everyone
Can someone tell me where i might get the stock arc music player widget? I guess I somehow deletet it :-(

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

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

So I just noticed there is no calendar or music widget? What do you use or is there a way to get them?

You get them the same way you get other stuff you don't have. You get them off the Internet/Android Market.
I use MusicMod for my music widget. I don't use calendars so perhaps someone else can help you there.
I don't use a music one because it's built in to the lockscreen if I'm listening to something. For calendar I use android agenda widget

Here is the stock 2.1 music player with widget. Just transfer the apk to your sd and install.
I use the widget on the lock screen. Why clutter up your home screen + waste resources when there's one already built in to the lock screen?
Another great option is "cubed" in the market. Best player IMO, but there's nothing wrong with the stock one.
Calendar widget, I don't know. Never really thought about it! I agree, it should have one built in.
For a good calender widget find "jorte" has tons of options.
Catchin' the VIBE on the XDApp
The daily briefing can be used as a calendar widget if you use google calendar.

How do you get the music widget on the lock screen?
Pure Music Widget and Pure Grid Calendar are both great! Pure Grid is like the HTC Sense calendar.

It should come stock on the vibrant open your music player and start playing a song then when you lock the screen it will be on the lock screen when you go to unlock it.
I also use the controller in the lock screen. Instead of a widget they put the quick controls in the notification put-down. You just have to open the music player initially.
I use the Calendar Clock widget. It's ok.
doubleTwist is a good player and has a widget.
when my phone is unlocked i drag down the notifications panel when music is playing and there are music controls. also in lock screen mode you can drag down a little window pane while locked with music controls (phone remains locked).
The player in the notification menu while the phone is locked is no good for people who like to lock their phone with a pattern. doubleTwist has a good widget, but only pause and skip forwards buttons, no skip back. And I have as yet been unable to make the widget background transparent...
Try the app called 3, search Filipe Abrantes in the market.... It has a pretty sweet widget and its a bad asz music app...
Have any of you guys found a way to control music from the lock screen, I have managed to install MIUI music player and can install a widget onto the lockscreen (using widget unlocker) however it's not the nicest looking in the world.
Any way of making it more 'generic', like using the default music player with control on the lockscreen for example (you can't add this widget to the widget unlocker homescreen).
Thanks guys.
poweramp has the option to have a lock screen widget. Widget looks nice, and it's probably the best music player available.
I'll give it a go, thanks!
EDIT: Tried, works very well, many thanks!
Does poweramp work with spotify?

I'm using the WinAmp music player on my phone, which have the option of a lock screen player - not tried any of the other ones, but it seems to work just fine.
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)

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 just updated to the latest version of Google Play Music and got the new UI, it looks good and everything, but there's one problem, the homescreen widget changed from 4x1 to 3x1 for some reason. Now, It looks crappy and I want the 4x1 widget back. I have already uninstalled updates/force stop/disable re enabled/rebooted, no luck. I don't know why this is happening now 0or if it is happening to any others, but yeah, I thought the play music widget was resizable 4x1, now it is a unresizeable 3x1. Help please! How do I get it back to 4x1?
Rooted Nexus 7, Stock Jellybean 4.2.2
I also have Nova launcher installed so I checked and on Nova launcher the widget was 4x1 instead of 3x1, the correct size it was before I updated the play music app, which can also be resizes on Nova launcher. What could be causing the problem? Should I clear data/uninstall updates/force stop other applications besides the music app (I already tried those things on the music app.) Like Google services, framework, etc?
The top screenshot is the Nova launcher app drawer /widget section, the bottom is the stock launcher app drawer/widget section.

One more thing, I noticed when I go into landscape that on the stock launcher widget section, the play music widget changes from 3x1 to 4x2, and you can see the way it is. Did I do something wrong or is this hot not working correctly?
How do I fix this!?
