Thanx for the hint. But Nova launchner is not compatible with Android prior to 4.x. So i choose Holo Launcher.
But... only if you move Locus from SD card to phone the trac rec widget appears.

2) Locus installed in internal memory, not on SD card (I do not talk about "Locus" directory, but about place where is app itself installed)

...

To my shame ... that's the reason on Xperia!!


Btw. If  you start track recording from widget, Locus isn't started as a system job. Can we drop usage of the battery this way?

Ahm, how should the track recording work without usage of battery consuming parts like GPS (used by Locus), CPU (code in Locus which needs to be processed during track recording)?
=> I guess this doesn't do anything different than direct recording from Locus app and screen off.

I think so, too. But maybe a system task running in background (=Locus) need a little bit more energy than track recording. But this is a question for the developers.

I'm trying to minimize CPU usage of Locus in all cases, so if map is not visible and mainly if whole app is in background, then there should be minimum activity. If you start track record from widget (when app is not running) or directly from map and then you hide whole app, CPU usege should be same. I'm saying should be, because I'm not 100% sure. But I think it should not be hard, to measure CPU usage in both cases, thanks to some other app ...
