there's probably a way to port the equalizer or at least the Arc's equalizer. At least we can go back to the original music player by uninstalling the update

I'll just add this here for the n00bs

Settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> music -> uninstall updates

1st Method

How to install it

You need to

The changes are good really good.

THANKS A LOT Uli for the link. And yes the amazing thing is that we can keep the orginal Music player to use the EQ. Xperia S Widget works fine that.

Here's from mine.

Atlast SONY came up with some more Clock Widget

how do you access the EQ w/ the new music player?

Re: Sony Xperia S home launcher works on the Arc

Auni — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 06:41:26 GMT

Hi Uli, sorry for the delayed rep.

No, I am using the Music Widget from Xperia S only. And the music player is from ARC S. That is why i can use the Equalizer.

But even without the EQ i found that Xperia S music player sound production and output is better and clear than the Original player from ARC S.

2 more important things.

The Xperia S weather widget doesn't drain the batter like the "Genie Widget or Weather Widget" Available @ ARC S.

Also the Music player use less battery energy, at least 15-20% less than the original ARC S player.

Excellent!
