Hi, I updated my x10 mini to 2.1 and decided to try live wallpapers... the thing is, I select them, they are running in the background but I still only get the default (or any other image selected) wallpaper. I mean...it's like it's running in the background but just not showing up...the weird thing is that when the screen is locked it does appear...but as soon as I unlock it, it goes back to the old wallpaper.... I'm using adw launcher...
Any ideas on how to fix this?
thks
I had that problem with adw too. Try launcherpro, it rules so much ;-)

thks, problem solved with launcherpro....I had it once but didn't like it that much but this time I'm really enjoying it and it fixed the wallpaper prblm. Is there anywhere where I can get more LauncherPro icons?
Thks for the help
exactly the same for me, does anyone has a solution for this problem?
l.e.: not enough attention , sorry. Thanks for the answer .
more later edit: i installed laucher pro and still not working
try out launcher pro and icons for launcher pro : http://launcherpro.droidicon.com/icons
If I have to take a wild guess, than you are probably running the ADW from your 1.6. There's 2 version of ADW, the one for 1.6 and the one for 2.1 and above. I guess the former don't support live wallpaper. Just download the 2.1 one.

Is there a way to stop the wallpaper from moving when switching between home screens? That way it would be a lot smoother while a live wallpaper is running. I know Evil Eris does this by default but I'm using CELB Froyo.
Launcher Pro home launcher replacement offers this option - to disable wallpaper scrolling. I just tried it on a LWP and it works for that as well. Hope this helps.

I never thought of that! I use LauncherPro so ill give it a shot. Thanks!
You're always going to have lag on LWP's.
Actually that fix worked! The only thing that lags now is the app drawer so i guess your right lol
Surprisingly, I have almost no lag with LWPs. Not all of the market ones work, but the ones that do work fine. When I first starting using them in some 2.1 roms they lagged a little. I found that if the LWP has settings, tweaking them to use less CPU or effects greatly improved lag.

I recently installed the new Vegan gingerbread rom. I cant for the life of me, get any wallpaper to end up in the center of the screen even the stock ones.
Any fix for this.
thanks in advance
I had to switch to Go Launcher from Launcher Pro on Calukins ROM. That fixed it. I really like the Go Launcher.
I noticed that too. Except for me it was that the apps weren't centered in the app drawer. I just disabled the "side" docks. This seemed to fix it. Not sure if that works for the wallpaper though. I use the "multi live wallpaper" app from the market. That seems to fix the low-res wallpaper issue and also centers the wallpaper.
Hey all,
I have a challenge for someone if a dev has some time on their hands. I am trying to get the Launcher Pro widgets working on Go Launcher EX though i think i am way out of my league.
Its unfortunate cause the Launcher Pro widgets are only beaten by Sense imho. Though Go Launcher is a better app!
Anyone able to help out or even just give me some tips?
Thanks very much.
These Widgets are hardcoded into the launcher and won't work with any other launcher. It is the same with with all launchers. If you want a set of Widgets that work with all launchers try android pro Widgets. It is paid but well worth it.
appreciate the reply mate. thats unfortunate. I am using APW right now. though it fails in comparison to Launcher Pro Widgets..
Oh well my only hope is for Launcher Pro to add shortcut folders then i can switch back - though i havent seen an update for a long time.
thanks again.

Yeah LP was discountinued last I heard
I'm having problems with scrolling widgets recognising touch no matter what rom I'm using and this only seems to happen with adw, other launchers don't seem to have this issue. I use the Gmail widget all the time and this is something that I really would love to find an answer for. I've tried turning off gestures in the settings but the issue remains :-( .
Are any of you experiencing similar issues with adw? I'd really like to know if this is a known issue, or something tailored to my myself. Google didn't help much..........

more info. What ROM are you on? Did it just start, or did something precede the problem? Do you have the latest version of ADW from the market? Details!
Also, have you gone into the ADW settings and restored? You'll have to rebuild everything, but that might solve the problem.
I abandoned the ADW launcher after several FCs on start up running the GTask 13.1! (all versions before 10.1 worked fine)
I'm using the Go Launcher EX, until discover the solution for those FCs.
Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I am using an ics rom at the moment but the same issue remained with any other rom I have run so far. The launcher is the latest and an up to date version the restore function I have tried before and again just now but the issue remains . I'm stumped.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

any news on this? I've got the same problem on my motorola xoom :/ While using the ADW launcher, WIZZ widgets sometimes scroll, sometimes not. Even if they do scroll down it's quite stuttering and slow (compared to how it works on the "stock launcher"). This is quite annoying and tbh a reason for me to switch back to stock :/

Hi
WIZZ shouldn't be used with ADW launcher, you should use : "Colorize widget"
it's from the same creator, but it is the version for people using ADW (or Go) launcher. The widgets are working very well with this one
Question
At some point adw crashed on cm7 zmod because i long pressed an icon and the option to delete/edit came up as i accidently swiped it in trash ...
Clicking remove then seems to be a no no for adw itself
Now what would happen if i were to install a different launcher and delete adw?
Thnx in advance!

t would probbably work a little better..Try go launcher ex i used that home replacemnt for a very long time! its amazing!! hope this helps
And was that on a custom rom? Because i tried adw and launcher pro when my phone wasnt rooted etc so ot was just an apk ... ah home running over my SE home
But now when adw closed i didnt get the normal sony ericsson home screen but just a clean background.
I think adw is the only launcher in this rom ... hence my concern

YOu can use any home launcher on any ROM. But remember, that you must have any launcher on your rom If you closed adw and dont have any other launcher, thats why you had empty bacground.
Personally I used many launchers,but returned to default SE launcher,because it never crashed for me. You can try e.g. Zeam Launcher, its one of the fastest and doesnt have huge RAM consumption...
Firstly try to clean adw data using OS, it might help.
Go launcher works fine for me, however ADW launcher crashes sometimes.
Had been nice to find a way to remove ADW launcher tough... annoys me it is there

You can remove it simply If adw cant be uninstalled normally - use some root capable file manager (e.g. Total Commander for Android) and go into path /system/app/ Here you can find ADW launcher apk and simply delete it. Note you MUST have any other launcher already installed!
