I'm having an issue selecting wallopers on my vibrant. I flashes the bionic rom and everything is working very well with the exception on the lock screen image remaining different from my normal wallpaper.
My lock screen has the default tree silhouette with the moon while my unlocked home screen has an image from my gallery. If I try and set the home screen to use a standard tw wallpaper, it just reverts back to my gallery image that I had set before. One thing I can do though, is set a live wallpaper with no issue... Odd.
Anyone have any ideas as to what might be happening?
I was having the same issue until I rebooted.

Turns out that I needed to use the normal shutdown option via android. Quickboot restart was screwing me up somehow.
All is good now though. =)
Thanks for your input!

Whenever I set a wallpaper on my tab, after rotating and going back to landscape the background goes blank on half the screen. If I then rotate to portrait and back it resets but it's getting very irritating when this happens. Anyone else getting this or have any idea how to cure it? I even tried turning auto rotate off but still no luck. I also tried other wallpaper apps like wizardrii. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue on a certain rom and kernel combo.. Not sure which it was cause I have re-flashed both since then..
thanks for quick reply, sorry should of stated my tab is totally standard touchwiz with no mods.
I'm in the same boat here... I thought I found a fix the other day. I just disabled the screen rotation so my screen stayed in landscape. Worked for about a day or so.
I don't know much on how Honeycomb handles setting wallpapers but i get the feeling it has something to do with that wierd crop function Honeycomb uses.
I use ADWex as my launcher and it still dose it.
I did notice that on my eVo4g (running Gingerbread 2.3.5, using ADWex) that when I turn my eVo from portrait to landscape the wallpaper doesn't resize or reposition its self near as nice as on Honeycomb(when it works like it's supposed to). So much so that I started just using an all black wallpaper.
Most likely its something that can be fixed with some kind of a matinace update. I haven't gottin around to rooting Tab yet to see if it happens on other rooms, and maybe I can get around to it next week.

My wallpaper stopped rotating even though I set it to auto. I flashed the ROM I was using without doing a factory reset first and it got it working again
I had this problem to. Try using Wallpapyrus or Live Multi Wallpaper(wich i use now).
Never had that problem nomore.
This is probably a stupid question but I can't find the answer in a few searches.
How can I remove the Landscape mode .zip and let my streak use auto rotate again?
I prefer landscape mode for everything except the dialer and Kindle/Google books. With the new Google books update it now uses landscape and is pretty much unusable in my preferred reading method of laying on my side in bed. I would like to try different screen rotation lockers etc. and see if I can find a solution but I realized I don't know how to remove the Landscape mode without completely starting over by flashing the whole rom.
Refresh the ROM

My portrait mode zip should revert it back for you. Both Simple Streak and my Streakin' are based on 354, so the file involved should be the same.
Thank for the suggestion. I tried flashing your portrait.zip a couple of times and nothing happens. Checking and unchecking auto-rotate display my streak still stays on landscape. Maybe the landscape.zip has stronger mojo than yours. XD
Which launcher are you using? Have you checked the settings for it? Is everything about your streak stuck in landscape? On your lockscreen, is the clock oriented for portrait or landscape? The landscape.zip simply copies an edited file to /system/framework. Mine simply copies back the original and I've used it successfully. Maybe there is something else going on.

You're right! Thank you so much. I had Zeam launcher set to not allow rotation also. Unchecking that box after flashing your .zip makes it rotate correctly. Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
So im running ICScrewed 1.6 rom, and if i hold the phone sideways and put it in sleepmode, when i wake it back up, the screen is upsidedown, and the words are mirrored. I already tried reflashing the rom. Anything I can do? Yes im a noob
In jkay in check the CRT TV animation on. Its buggy

just do a screen capture (hold home and press power button)
no need to reboot.
thats all i got for right now
It is my understanding that Fancy Rotations is causing this, but don't take my word for it. (read it in one of the ICS-themed ROM threads.)
Noz might be onto something because I notice my screen go upside-down real quick as it locks (CRT Animation on). It never gets stuck like the OP is describing but I do notice this happens for a quick second before my screen shuts off.

This makes it worse.
In the ICScrewed thread there is a CWM flashable zip called "Remove Fancy Rotations". Install that using CWM and your problem will be gone. Its been brought up a lot in that thread.
Ment to say turn the CRT off.

Yea that does help, but I still got the upside down screen when using GOSMS and popup notifications. Pretty damn annoying. Removing fancy rotations does the trick though. Fancy rotations are nice and all, but nowhere near worth it for the screen bug.
I randomly got that yesterday. Took a screen shot and all is well
Strange issue though.

Happened to me too. The best part about it is that while in the inverted and upside down state, you press the sane area on the screen to select things. Very tricky to reboot . But yes, after disabbling crt off anim it stopped occurring.

Removing Fancy Rotations is the only real way to prevent this from happening. Good post.
Hmm, my GF just called me about this.
Odd we are running the same everything and that has yet to happen to me.
So, I can't seem to be able to use a picture from the gallery as the lock screen wallpaper anymore. I used to be able to do this but it suddenly stopped working today. Any thoughts on what the problem could be?
Using a picture from the wallpaper gallery app still works though. But I can't add the picture I want to that gallery.
What happens exactly? It just doesn't show the gallery option?

So I've tried going through both the settings screen and the gallery. Everything will seem fine, it will even bring up the wallpaper changed notification, but when I go to the lock screen, the old wallpaper is still there. I'm at a loss so any help is appreciated.
Edit: I'm on a P769BK, if that helps.

I have the same model. This happened to me after rooting a few times. You may need to re-run the root and reboot a few times. If that does not work try a factory reset.
Honestly I would do a factory reset

Imma try both methods when I get home. Thanks for the suggestions.
Well it turns out I didn't need to do either of those things. I just used titanium backup to wipe the lock screen settings app's data and it worked like charm. Thanks anyway for your help.

Thanks for the tip, I've struggling with this issue for days I didn't want to do a factory reset it's just to much for a simple wallpaper change.
I did a wipe form titanium... and Voila it worked flawlessly.
Out of nowhere my fassy was stuck in desk dock mode and wouldn't exit it, it started the other day. I did a full reset and it fixed the problem, just to be sure I deleted the desk and car dock apps to make sure the problem didn't arise again and for a day everything was fine but this morning my whole phone is stuck in landscape! Even my home screen, I know that this should not happen. Anyone know of a solution? I did another reset but after a while the problem came back, any help would be great, thanks

Try and lock the phone in portrait orientation using a third-party app. I use set orientation on google play if i need to do this sort of thing
It worked but now I have to go and change the orientation if I want to watch a video lol and the icon is stuck in my notification bar but its still better than being stuck in landscape, thank you for the suggestion
