Hi guys,
as the update a week or so of the Walkman App camo out i rea in the update center that it can now be added a widget to the lockscreen(not only when you play music). So updated to 8.4.A.3.1 but I am still not able to find the widget for the lockscreen. Anyone alse having this problem?

The widget only appears when a music player is playing music. I am not able to add the widget directly (just tested it)
~~Regards
Thanks for the reply. My mistake that I misunderstood something. It was "Walkman widget to work on Android default home screen" not Lockscreen. Seems to be a feature that you could use the new widget for other launchers too.
Is there still a way to get widget of the walkman app to the lockscreen? Cause when I stop the music it disappears and on a microphone(not a headset) it is very annoying to reopen the app.

Yes but you will also lose the camera shortcut and others:

Would it be possible to make a Pandora widget like the music lockscreen widget? Or make it where the stoke lockscreen widget also controls Pandora?

I'm pretty sure something like Widget Locker from the market should allow you to place the pandora widget on your lock screen. Not exactly what you're looking for, but it's about as close as you'll get I think.
This is not exactly what you want, but if Pandora is running while the Vivid is locked, you can pull down the notification bar (at least with ICS/Sense 3.6) and access the running Pandora app
Also, you might consider replacing one of the default apps in the bottom app bar with the Pandora app shortcut. Those four apps, whatever they are, will show on the lock screen.
Of course, I believe you want to see the full screen app like the music player shows when locked.
Yea I use notification bar and have the quick unlock set with Pandora lol but was hoping to have the fullscreen widget like the music one, I guess I'm just getting too lazy

Anyone know how to place an application shortcut like a whatsapp contact into the dock/launcher bar? I was able to do this in stock jelly bean, but can't seem to figure this out in sense 5.

always 2 ways to do this on Android;
press and hold (on home screen and move to dock / on icon from app drawer)
click setting and choose edit
:good:
The problem is that when long pressing shortcuts from the home screen, the dock disappears making it impossible to move the app shortcut into the dock.

I understand an app can be added to the dock from the drawer, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to add a app shortcut (i.e. a direct contact) to the dock. For whatever reason, Sense treats these shortcuts like widgets, restricting them from being added to the dock. This is frustrating as I was able to do this in stock jelly bean.
You need to go to the app drawer and then pull the application you wanna replace from the dock to the drawer. Once you have done that you will have an empty space to add the app you want to add to the dock.

No chance. I think you have to wait for an update, or u choose another Launcher and a APP vor BlinkFeed.

I hope they have a fix in the pipeline. I can't be the only person who uses this feature.
Is it possible to have the the stock home screen scrolling continuously and can I use the Walkman app on other home screen lauchers?
There is a moded xperia launcher,use Google to search for it.
All sony widgets will not work on any other launcher.

Had a quick search online and in xda but couldn't find much, few posts on a forum elsewhere.
I'm running nova launcher and can change my home wallpaper with ease. The lock screen is a different matter.
From settings > personalisation > lock screen
I can change to any of the standard Sony wallpapers, if I try and use my own it never changes. Anyone else found this? Have I missed something obvious :s
On .534 as no update for me yet, and no requirement to root yet.
i think this problem on nova launcher. becuase i use go launcher i can change my own pict on lock screen.
try go launcher, i very reccoment go launcher + go notification. with little setting your phone will fast and smooth(i has been use apex after try go ex, i never looking to other >< just my oponion.)

Nah, just cleared the defaults and rebooted. Using the standard Sony home, still can't select any other 3rd party or user wallpaper.
I'll try go in a bit, but if even stock software can't change it then it looks to be a bug?
Edit: no change, didn't think it would. Prefer nova over go from that short test but something to play around with.
Looks like an android issue than launcher
any locksceen app installed?

I'm also running nova launcher and stock .534 but i haven't had a problem switching wallpapers on the lockscreen. I've used camera generated photos and zedge wallpapers.

Sorted it.
I use quickpic as an album replacement app. Cleared the defaults and use the Sony album to crop then pictures and working as it should.
Something between quickpic and the os which didn't talk well I guess.

I would like to be able to launch small apps from a shortcut on the homescreen. Is this possible?

you can't launch 1 by one,but there an app called "Small App Launcher"
It launches small apps more easy & clear
Search the app on Play Store
Thanks, but I've seen that one. Didn't really suit me.
I'm surprised that this hasn't been addressed before.
