Help Porting a Sony WIdget to Trebuchet - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So the widget I'm trying to install is the Sony WeatherWidget.apk. It seems that it will run on my device, but only if I have the Xperia Home Launcher running. I'd like to get it running with Trebuchet, however, not Xperia Home.
Does anyone know which files I need to replace inside the APK to get Trebuchet to recognize it as a widget? Is it the signature, the resources.arsc, the classes.dex, or the AndroidManifest.xml?

Can we move stock widgets to a directory so they can be seen by ADW laucher? and if so where do we copy them to?

ADWlauncher should see any widgets that it can use.
Some of the stock widgets only work with touchwiz.
basically , so far i've noticed that u will only miss the s planner widgets (calendar , agenda , etc...) when u use another launcher.
also when u send an s memo as a "widget" , its defaulted into touchwiz , despite the fact that u can add a blank s memo widget on yr alternative laucnher.. hope someone finds a solution to this tiny issue..
hope this helps.

[Q] moving Widgets to work with Nova

I am currently running ARHD and I used Rom cleaner to delete the sense launcher and I'm using Nova.
I was looking through the system files and noticed that most of the sense widgets are still there, i.e. calculator, tasks widget.
My question is, am I able to somehow make those available on the Nova Launcher.
I know there is a thread in the mods section where someone made a .zip file that has some of the widgets but not the ones I want so I wanna try it myself. I was able to take some apks and move them to system/app and they work pretty good so far so I thought it shouldn't be too hard.

[Q] How to use sony widgets after freezing stock xperia home?

I decided to use another launcher in place of the stock xperia one
so I also froze it with rom toolbox
In this case some of Sony provided widgets e.g. weather, disappear from the widgets menu or list in the app drawer
Is it possible to recover them and make them usable with other launchers somehow?
Thanks a lot

Not as far as I know. I can't use them on Apex Launcher or Nova either (even without disabling the sony launcher).
You cannot use sony widgets on custom launchers

Some of them do work on nova
for instance the camera widgets and some from walkman
but not the music controls and others
kinda bummer....

Same here with Next Launcher, but better sacrifice some widget than use the stock launcher which is very ugly.
There is a sony walkman widget in the playstore that I use with nova, it's not quite as pretty but gets the job done.

I haven't found one for the weather which I like but HD widgets is just as nice
