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

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 don't like how the wallpaper doesn't scroll. Like the I go to another home screen, the wallpaper doesn't shift how it did on my Hero. Anyone know how to change the wallpaper from being static?

You have to complain to htc because they added the carousel without the option to not use it. Their contact link is in another post of mine.somewhere or just go to their sure ante complain so they can update it ota
sent from my 3vo using XDA app
I don't think that there is a way you change it unless you download adw launcher or launcher pro from the market. you can use many different transitions, wallpaper scrolling effects, etc. although I'm not sure if you want to not use htc sense.
Damn. Oh well, I love Sense too much to care about the static background. I might just go back to live wallpapers then. Any suggestions besides Nexus, my favorite?

Does anybody know any good live wallpaper that works on Wildfire? I recently found Shake Them All! works quite well
The ones I have found working well without lag:
- Starfield 2D
- Solar Wind
- Android Sparkle LWP
- Pixel Rain - (Currently using ATM)
But, I really wanted a Nexus One style Livewallpaper, but, sadly all lag. (Most prominent when you swipe across homescreen panes) :/
EDIT: I installed this, the performance is great (No lag), but not impressed with the touch functionality (Interaction), 'seems' its glitched. Also, no configuration options at all, but, performance is very smooth.

Solar wind is Dope. Really smooth.
Yes, and it's pretty much the same for all of AOI Dev's LWPs, but, somehow, the others seem "glitched", i.e. they start flickering (And its so bright it hurts the eyes) and don't work as intended. But for the few that do, they are extremely smooth. Swiping across the homescreens is almost similar to having a static wallpaper.
They are probably the reason I look for LWPs <100kB in size.

I've tried Nexus Revamped Live Wallpaper & it works really great. A lot of tweaks especially performance. Can set it to 10-15fps with max particles 10. Really smooth

I have that, but it lagged when you swiped across homescreens. I had reduced the number of particles but had left the fps option at default.
Guess I will give it another go with a 10-15 fps setting.
Cheers
The Multipicture live wallpaper works great (and it should ^^) only thing i notice is my statusbar pulldown animation starts lagging >.>
ambient time LWP, a circuit board, typography wall, swamp water, WP clock LWP worked quite well on mah cell try dem
You can search in Market with keyword "Dragon Live Wallper". Many Live Wallper about Dragon look great. Special "Sea Dragon"
Hi all
I just installed Solar wind live wallpaper, but got message that my handset does not support it.. Is it cos my phone isn't rooted? Or something else could be problem? tnx in advance
yes, stock ROM's do not support live wallpapers on the wildfire.
I don't use any at all. It makes the app drawer laggy as well, too bad

I use launcher pro paid version, but still I can notice lag. It perhaps doesn't lag that much from transitions of homescreens, but the app drawer is not as smooth as when using a static wallpaper (at least for me)...
I encountered what seems to be a strange bug. Today, I 'went the globatron way', and upgraded from stock BB Flyer on GB to the HC here. I installed LauncherPro, and also Home Stack (to help the switching).
Launcher Pro seems to work fine...except the background (wallpaper) goes to all black as soon as the device is flipped from portrait to landscape. The wallpaper stays black from then on. If I begin in landscape mode, switch from Sense to LauncherPro, then turn the tablet into portrait mode, then it again switches to a black wallpaper.
Anybody have any clue what the problem is? Is it a problem with HC or with LauncherPro?
Fed hasn't updated launcher pro in forever, I don't think its HC compatible. Rumors are he abandoned it. Why not use ADW?

Ack! Perhaps this is the reason. Any other recommendations for alternative launchers to Sense (other than ADW?). I particularly looking for something minimalist and fast (which is why I liked Launcher Pro)

Go launcher has become insanely popular. Free and has a ton of features. It's plenty fast.
Is.there any launcher which in which the app drawer icon and other things switch to landscape mode while in landscape mode?

has anyone here implemented this 3d UI? i am wondering if it is a bit laggy for our snapdragon processor's.

Doesn't work as wallpaper scrolling doesn't seem to work.
I tried to do this to my Note and had problems getting the wallpaper to display correctly. It would do some weird split screen thing and it looked like crap.
I am also interested to see if anyone can get it working.

These shows how versatile ADWEx is.....I don't think this sort of setup is for me....but it's cool.

Yes....scrolling is an issue with most Launchers on our Note....aShell launcher is the only launcher I have been able to get scrolling to work.
You could try using aShell for this setup, it is based on ADWEx.
i'll save the $ for now i reckon & stick with Zeam until something visually stunning comes along
I've got almost everything setup with a 3D UI on my Telus Note using Go Launcher EX. Like the rest of you, the only thing that doesn't work is the scrolling wallpaper.
Scrolling works find on GoLauncher. I had to disable and re-enable but then it worked just fine.
Also at the end of the vid he states that if you add a new homescreen it messes it up.

Can someone describe what's going on when you try and swipe between home screens?
Do the icons move with the adw ex transition but the wallpaper doesn't (stays static)?
Make sure you have wallpaper scrolling enabled in adw ex settings.
I may have the completely wrong idea but that's what it kind of sounds like..
lol it's a great UI once you get it going, trust me!

Scrolling wp works for me on every launcher. Gallery won't let you set a big enough resolution, just use quickpik

My note works fine with the ADWLauncher EX. The Facebook widget works great i just need to get the font like Cold Fustion. Also the Font for the Calendar. The background on these wont go away as i dont see the options to get rid of them. Other than that the scrolling is fine. Just enable the Scrolling Wallpapers and your good.
Yea wallpaper scrolling is a lot more fluid on the international version. Are you rooted?

Hi there, has anybody managed to get ADW EX wallpaper scrolling to work on their US note yet? I was notified today that this problem is still around.
I just find this really strange..
