[Q] Live wallpaper stops in between homescreens

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

[Q] alternate launchers?

Since most launchers are geared towards phones instead of tablets i was wondering what launche rs work well with the prime?
Stock launcher seems very laggy on the home screen, any fixes for this?
NOVA/Trebuchet and I've also heard ADW and SPB although SPB cost is a little on the insanely high side.

I've used adw ex and it was pretty good but doesn't work nicely with wizz widget. Very laggy scrolling in Facebook and twitter Widgets.
I don't have any lag with stock launcher if I set to normal mode(3rd icon in power management options)

i use Nova launcher, works great with root access and the only few problems I had with it were fixed in the last two updates (less than a week apart)
my main problem with the stock launcher is that with all my icons (like, close to 30 total) switching between screens laggs dramatically. to the point where switching is not smooth at all. I have continiously checked running processes to see whats eating my processor, nothing extra aside from the basic that i can see.... if anyone has ideas why my stock launcher is lagging please let me know :/

[Q] Launcher bar no rotate w/custom launchers

I've tried Go Launcher EX and ADW EX launchers on the Flyer and neither will rotate the launcher bar to the bottom of screen when in landscape mode. Searched all the settings and can't see anything that would prevent this. Figure since the Sense launcher can do it the others should as well.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so point me to the right setting?
I had this same issue with ADW EX which I don't get because the first picture it has on the market shows it running on a honeycomb tablet in landscape mode with the dock on the bottom. Its supposed to be tablet friendly but it actually didn't work for crap in my opinon! my wallpaper was all messed up and off center too!
Anyway google "Go Launcher HD". Its not on the market, at least last I checked it wasn't but I came accross it googling "honeycomb Launchers". Its a beta and needs a lot of work, but its specifically designed for honeycomb!
I have SPB Shell for my phone and could just install that but unsure about how the specs on the flyer would handle it.
Ended up installing VTL Launcher instead and it works as it should. Has a decent amount of options and I like the scrolling dock bar options for each side. Downside is it has no widgets but I just use others from the market for what I need.

This in particular, and the OP's issue in general, may be due to the software not completely supporting our particular hardware. Every tablet handles apps differently. I recommend contacting the developer, and letting them know the issue, and see what they say. Be sure to specify Flyer (or View, if that is the case) and Honeycomb.

[Q] Launcher lag when switching panels?

I have tried every launcher and I keep getting substantially annoying lag every other time I swipe a panel. Is there a way to stop this?

I noticed that too when I just bought the phone, especially with a 3rd party launcher. Syncing widgets can cause it or maybe sync in general, and the stock launcher is usually smoother than the 3rd-party apps. Lag on the homescreen is virtually gone for me using Nova but I'm already using a custom rom. Forcing gpu rendering might help but I never noticed any significant difference myself.

Might be a stupid question..but
Does CM Launcher not work in landscape mode? It's not rotating and no setting for it. Can't imagine it doesn't in 2018..
What am I missing here?

Samsung calls this a feature of not allowing wallpapers to rotate. Only icons, app drawer, apps, and such rotates. I use Ultimate Rotation Control to assist with rotating icons, app drawer, apps, and such. Yet won't rotate wallpaper, due to Samsung feature of no wallpaper rotation.
I talked to Samsung reps on this. That is when I found out that this is a Samsung feature since Android Oreo. No further information at this point if they are going to change that feature to allow wallpaper to rotate.
I know that this doesn't seem logical.
Sorry.
PS - I am using Nova Launcher.

Thanks for the reply..
Is CM Launcher support DEAD along with so many others?
Trying to finalize on a launcher, before spending a lot of time configuring organizing, etc..Don't want to use a dead(no longer supported launcher for obvious reasons.) Currently using Next launcher and that is now also dead.
Landscape mode and wallpaper rotation works fine in 90% of the launchers including TSF Launcher, I believe CM Launcher's company bought out. Why wouldn't CM Launcher be able to?
I am all about "Eye-Candy" and 3D effects in a launcher. (I know many want more lighter/efficient) TSF Launcher was one of the best.. however the company was bought out and it turned into CM launcher.
So first question, since so many "Eye-Candy" launchers have been dropped or no longer supported.
Is CM Launcher still alive?
Another question is why couldn't CM Launcher use the dead TSF launchers 3D effect ass-on's ?
It's just sad, TSF launcher had so much potential...to bad they got kicked out of the competition Home Launcher game.
Starting with Android Oreo Samsung has changed so that your wallpapers don't rotate in Note 8 (at least without some kind of modification that I don't know of).
That said:
I don't use 3D interfaces on mobile devices since SPB launcher for Windows Mobile 6.x.So I wouldn't know your answer outside of what Samsung reps told me.
Since 3D interfaces are so much different from Google's material design I believe caused the popularity of 3D interfaces to wane on Android. There has been design movement away from "3D" design for awhile now. You see that in iOS, Macs, Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Android. Neat as 3D interfaces are, they get in the way from the focus of what these tools are designed for. It is like word processing in VR 3D. Maybe in the future 3D interface designs will get better in not be so distracting from the work at hand for many people. As well as views and tastes will change in the future.
