Hey everyone, did a search here and couldn't find anyone else with this issue. I was running stock for the last month and had no issues using a custom wallpaper (1080x960) that I made. Just flashed CM and that same wallpaper is pixelated, even using different launchers (ADW, GO, Zeam, etc.) Any ideas?
I recall people saying it's the Gallery's fault, try setting it as wallpaper with some other application from the Market.
There we go. Used Quickpic. Thanks!

my question is, has anyone got the Friendstream app and widget to work in the official 2.1 release?
I tried installing FriendStream.apk and com.htc.FriendStreamWidget.apk from VillainROM, but it's not possible to install them.
The other thing is, has anyone working Live Wallpapers in Official 2.1 ?
Again, I tried installing LiveWallpaper.apk and LiveWallpaperPicker.apk, these worked, and when selecting background I can really select Live Wallpapers.
But, whenever I click on a Wallpaper to get the preview, LiveWallpaperPicker crashes.
I have searched around a lot and found that many people have these problems, but I found no solution. Am I just too blind to find it?
Please tell me if there's something I can do.
Thanks

Nah, you need the whole rom to get friend steam, as there are big changes in the frameworks.
Also, you using launcher pro to get lwp? Iirc u need a third party launcher to do lwp
ah thats sad... i had hoped it would need only minor changes in the apk to make friendstream work on the hero.
as for live wallpapers: i tried it with HTC Sense, Launcher2, Launcher Pro and HelixLauncher, the results are always the same: when selecting a wallpaper, I see the "Live wallpaper" option and can select it, afterwards I see the list of installed wallpapers. but whenever I click on one of the wallpapers, the "application Live Wallpaper Picker has terminated unexpectedly".
is there a fix for this?
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.
I can't seem to get any wallpaper updated.
I'm on CM7 and ADW... I select an image from the gallery, click menu, click more, click wallpaper. Resize the wallpaper, it says saving picture, then goes to a black screen that just says gallery at the top.
Please help!

I have weirdness changing wallpaper as well, it always stays the same until I restart the launcher, and sometimes get weird glitchy graphics after. I had to stop trying.
ADW EX.
Set & Save wallpaper worked for me as long as the wallpapers were saved as png format.
I just had some serious problems with trying to set a wallpaper on CM7 using perfect viewer. I'm paranoid about setting wallpapers in CM7 now. Seems very glitchy in that area.
I've never had an issue using Walpeper Set and Save on CM7. As long as your graphics file was appropriate resolution (I am running three screens and using images 1280x1024). Using jpgs.
(Edit) Using Zeam and Launcher Pro
I know this is an older post, but I just had a similar issue so I wanted to post the solution in case anyone else runs into it too. What was happening to me is I would go to select a new wallpaper, click to save it in either Gallery or Quickpic, and when done it would revert back to the stock CM wallpaper. I found I had to restart ADW by going to Settings -> ADW Launcher -> Restart ADW in order for the new wallpaper to show. This just started happening since I installed to emmc, so not sure why, but this works reliably now.

Yeah, of course that works but it's annoying. I switched to Launcher Pro and that problem went away, so there's something weird with wallpaper and ADW.
Hello, i'm new to this forum, kind of a noob still with rooting and everything but anyways, just the other day I had a new update for go launcher ex. Everything ran fine until after the update. It won't let me change the effects, go into settings, or change themes. It also still displays icons for APPS that i have fully uninstalled before and I can't get rid of them unless I use Astro to delete the raw files of the app. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Go Launcher several times, but that doesn't work.
I'm running this on a brand new Galaxy Nexus so it might be compatibility issues with the new ICS OS... Anyone else have this issue?
Yep might be a compatibility issue, have you tryed adw ex launcher? i saw it in a post and installed it and have been in love with it ever since

I've tried it out, but I like go launcher because it has an ICS theme for free while keeping all the cool effects and stuff. the problem with adw for me is that i can only set one app in my appdock on my homescreen with a custom icon.. and that really bothers me with the looks. it also doesn't change any of the app icons in the app drawer. prob compatibility issues too. i hope they update both of them soon!
Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I am been trying out different launchers on my Archos tablet and really like a couple of them. One thing I noticed is the different method of selecting wallpapers compared to my S2. My S2 doesn't seem to crop any pictures and still allows the image to scroll. Looking at the apps it appears to be down to the Touchwiz launcher or the touchwiz wallpaper selector.
Is there a way I can get the launcher or wallpaper selector onto my tablet? Just recently went back to Touchwiz on my S2 because of this. I went to select a new wallpaper while using Nova Launcher and it wanted me crop it again. The wallpaper selector seems to be the best one I've seen so far.
Thanks,
Archos gen8, gen9, gen10..??
Just install a custom ROM on your tablet which has the touchviz UI...
That should do the thing...
Press thanx if I helped. ..
