Can anyone confirm this, the HTC flyer wifi only model doesn't have the ability to have scrolling wallpaper?
Is there a way to enable it in sense?
Thanks

Nope, this version of Sense does not do scrolling wallpaper. Same as sense 3.0 for the phones.
thanks, i was searching forever thinking i was missing something
Thank you. Bummer. Liked a bigger wall... The price of progress, I suppose.
I alternate between ADW Launcher and the sense. Of course the widgets sizes ( I don't use any on mine) are not as large as with the Sense but I am working on that.

I just got a 16GB WiFi HTC Flyer. It's on stock GB 2.3.3 and using Sense 2.1 for tablet. I like to use live wallpapers, and I'm certain that the flyer can handle them, but when I swipe back and forth through homescreens, the wallpaper seems to pause in between screens. I don't know if this is because of Sense or if it's perfectly normal. Anyone else experience this problem and if so how did you fix it?
Mine too, evo 3d works fine.

I believe that this is a sense issue. If you have another launcher running and a live wallpaper the transition is smooth.
Out of curiosity, what LWP are you using?

I thought it may have something to do with Sense as well. I used launcher pro and tested the Sense photo blur LWP and the transition was smooth. I hope this issue is addressed in an update. It's not a huge deal but it does take away from the user experience.

I agree, its very hard not to notice it.
I believe it's because in newer versions of Sense (I think from 3.0 and above) there is a problem with the launcher can't detect the transitions or the screens' positions or something like that..
There are some wallpapers that say in the info part "not compatible with sense 3 devices"
Even in normal wallpapers you can notice that when you move from screen to another, the wallpaper remains still and doesn't show more of if you understand what i mean

All -
Just upgrade to HC using Globatron's method. Still exploring the new features. Found the widgets on HC are all awkwardly sized. Anyway to resize them? The only one I was able to resize to fit the screen is the Gmail widget. Ideas?
Thanks!
how are they awkwardly sized? i didn't have any widget issues going from GB to HC
what are you trying to achieve?
One more question. Did not want to start a new thread for a question
Honeycomb sense UI - How to add pages or screens? We have only 5
I don't think that you can either resize widgets or add/subtract the number of home screens.
I am happy with the widgets that I have for the most part but I would like to get rid of some home screens.
You can't make folders either.

You can't add screens but what I noticed (in my case) is that I can have the same amount of info using less screens because all the HTC widgets are that awkward narrow size instead of having a full screen option (so I have 2 per screen instead of just one). It seems like the official Google widgets are resizable (somebody mentioned the Gmail one - the Voice one also does this). Unfortunately HTC didn't seem to get that memo.

Is it possible to disable scrolling on the ADW homescreen? I know it's possible to only have one screen, but I don't want it to slide at all.
And BTW; I'm not talking about the wallpaper
Sure is, I only use one screen and I hated the "bounce"
Its under the animation settings I believe, not the screen settings like you might think.

I think that guy may have misunderstood your question. To my knowledge there is no way to disable scrolling, aside from having one screen.
I have noticed that all my home screen widgets/icons look like they are spaced too far apart like there is too much padding.
Either the icons/widgets are too small or I should be able to fit an additional row/column.
Anyone else notice this? Or am I missing any easy fix?

you prob aren't used to this screens display.
I notice this also. Especially on the Beautiful Widgets home.
Hoping it's just the launcher.

Yes, higher resolution means you should be able to fit more on a display. There is def enough room to fit another row, in fact I tried apex launcher and I was able to fit another row. Just like how I would prefer the app drawer to have 5 columns since there is enough room.
I would stick with apex, but it doesnt seem to support sense (or 5 col drawer)

I'm very interested in this one too. I had reservations on it though with things being packed a little tight. We'll have to see how it turns out. You da man Andybones
It's strange because some widgets still look great, like pure calendar widget. But some don't. Almost like they hard coded the pixel usage.

some widgets can be resized.
like the calendar and task widgets for instance
even the resizable ones are limited to the grid spacing.
I'm really looking for an extra row on the home screen (and an extra col on the drawer).
I got my phone after they stopped allowing bootloader unlock so I guess I won't be able to take advantage of any mods that people come up with.
I was hoping someone knew of an app like apex_launcher but also supported sense widgets (like clock) and had a 5 col drawer.
I've been using a 5col drawer on my orig Inc for a while with no issues so I assume with this bigger higher res screen, it should be fine.
I think you may see some things like that in the future. But the resolution is the key to making the launchers work like that. Until the launcher devs write something to work for our resolution we'll be screwed for a while

apex launcher seemed to work fine for adding another row.
the issue is I didnt seem to find a way to add the HTC clock widget or any HTC widgets.
I assume that problem would apply to anyone

There is no other launcher capable of running HTC widgets.

This is absolutely correct. HTC widgets are actually HTC Sense. Launching with any other launcher effectively (but doesn't kill it completely) disables sense. A better way of putting it is, if you use a 3rd party launcher you are giving up the use of all HTC Sense applications/widgets etc.
Sense is the ui, another launcher disables that ui (again, effectively disables. It's still running the processes in the background, just not the fancy widgets)
This is why GoLauncher and all the others, have their own widgets. Those widgets don't work within Sense.

I see thanks. I ended up using golauncher for a while.
I like apex but it doesnt support extra column in the app drawer where golauncher does.
The downside to golauncher is that it doesnt have full ICS support (menu button)
While fooling around trying out different launchers, i have found a real gem.

It's a cool launcher but if you disable the persistent search bar, you can't drag anything to the top of the screen.
That blows.
It's alright, but missing a lot of features that Nova and Apex have so I won't be able to use it. I can't get the Sense widgets sized appropriately to where they are not stretched or having elements overlapping despite messing with the row/column settings. Other things like not being able to change the app drawer icon, and so forth are a bother.

U can resize the widgets.
Icon packs for nova/apex can be used as well.
There r some niggling issues with this launcher, however if you want to use sense widgets and not sense launcher then it your only choice.

Tried it. Hated it.
Alignment was off on text and icons on adjacent screen, it kept reverting to default screen setup after arranging it with my setup, saw some screen redraw, and weather widget text and graphics were way out of line.
If these were fixed, i'd maybe try it again.
