Wondering why and how to get scrolling wallpaper on my Galaxy Note. I miss it from my skyrocket, where each page would move across the background. When i make a photo my wallpaper it only gives me one setting, where my skyrocket had 2

I have an idea...doesn't appear to be a tw problem.
be back soon (with a solution i hope)
EDIT:
Making some progress...replacing 3dgallery.apk and tw.wallpaperchooser with the corresponding Skyrocket versions fixes the zoomed in effect, and allows for a wider screen crop however the wallpaper is now scaled too small, and scrolling does not work on TW, Now scrolling does work on Launcher pro using those APKs
Doesn't work in twlauncher. You need to use a different launcher.

Use quickpic to set your wallpaper.

Share your desktop screenshots. launcher and how you use and why.
I use iLauncher on stock HC3,2 rom
I tried almost all of the launcher, and neither's one was not as fast
I do not like at Apple, launcher very fast and works fine .Rotate the screen takes less than a second.
Sorry for bad English.
cool idea! i always like these threads for inspiration.
my desktop is pretty simple. i'm using the CM9 ICS launcher (trebuchet)
widets on top are minimalistic text and setcpu.
on the bottom i have all the apps i use 90% of the time.
thats all.

Did you enable it in the launcher settings? Pretty sure ADW Ex has it disabled by default.
Yes it enabled. And on the tw launcher its the same

I'm having the same issue. Even on different launchers... Whatever app that is intercepting when you crop the background won't let you crop enough to have a successful scrollable background. Launcher Pro scrolls, but you can only crop enough that fits the screen size, then it stretches it and it looks all ****ty. lol
So nobody else noticed?

I noticed this as well. I was trying to use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to have a different wallpaper for each screen and it doesn't work.
gingerbread version issue
Check your version info: version 2.3.6 from AT&T broke scrolling wallpaper.so, now, what I want to know is If go launcher still works with the new version

I have also the SGH-I717 from TELUS and it does not scroll live wallpaper with any of the laucher that enable it (Go, Pro or ADW), but it does work with standard wallpaper.
Do we have a confirmation of the root of the problem (harware, OS or software)?
I can only get scrolling wallpaper using go launcher ex. Only problem now is: any image I use is automatically zoomed in.it does scroll, though. butt it looks like crap zoomed in.I have to choose a landscape image, like a field. Dumb.still hoping ICS fixes these issues.
Its definitely software. I won't have much time to mess with it more until next week.

As said in several places, Launcher Pro works fine too, as for any others don't.. Dunno. Wall Switch + Launcher Pro = Just Works.
Sorry, but I am not sure if the reply from khaytsus is for me or raythedestroyah?
Because in my case for regular image set as standard wallpaper (not Live) everything work well, but for Live wallpaper that are designe to also scroll with the home pages from left or right, none of them work with any of the Launcer (Pro, Go or ADW).
Again, any help would be apreciated.

My bad, in my hurry to be a smartass I mis-parsed your statement. So static wallpapers are okay for you, but not live wallpaper.
Been a few months since I looked at LWP, but yeah you're right, I installed a few I had tried in the past and no scrolling.
Hey!!! Thanks!!!!, I'd installed both apps, works great!!!
I find this widget selection screen clumsy and ugly in Touchwiz, it's much better in GolacherEX and other launchers.
Anyone know how to make it display widgets list alike, like it was before?

long press home screen, select widgets from menu....job done
Thats exactly how widgets look when i do that, this was like this on SGS3Touchwiz, Galaxy S2 had this list alike widget list, also had mod that same widgets were grouped together.

If you need stock TW launcher then I think you need to get used to it. This is how stock ICS launcher handles widgets and apparantly sammy didn't bother changing it.. But I kinda like it.
Lots of things sammy dont think, they should have listen the users more. Nova is ok, Golauncher seems better, but i stick with stock till someone makes new hacked version of this touchwiz.
I really like how stock launcher change pages, havent seen so cool looking on any launchers even they have more options to change it.

I do like TW launcher but what bugs me a lot is the way TW launcher create folder. Samsung choose to use ICS style on the widgets but decided not to use ICS style on adding folder. Doesn't make any sense. :banghead:

Maybe use apex launcher and then choose touchwiz theme as design? Dunno if that fits all your needs though
I use sslauncher and hitting the menu key gives the traditional.Samsung options, like settings / wallpaper and long press the screen gives options for Widgets etc.

Nova launcher
I initially installed CleanRom 3.5 with the Nova launcher option, but felt that visually it seemed slower to open the app drawer and switch screens, probably because of the animation? So I stuck to TouchWiz, and am pretty happy with it. I could be completely off base; I feel like TouchWiz is one of the better android skins, definitely better than sense.

Did you try changing the settings in Nova? You can change the speed of the animations. :good:

I'll give it a shot. I love trying out launchers . I do wish somebody would try something radically different when it comes to launchers (not just an iOS-esque type layout).
I switch between Nova and SPB Shell 3D. This beast can definitely handle the graphics, even with live wallpapers.

Nova with a custom icon pack.
TouchWiz. It feels smoother to me than Nova and Apex on Beans' ROM.

Digital Soul red icons (my entire phone is themed in red and black)
I find Nova to be BY FAR the smoothest/fastest launcher there is.
I have the paid versions of both Nova and Apex. I don't even bother installing Apex anymore.
TW is OK if you don't want any of the custom options that a launcher like Nova gives you, but Nova is every bit as smooth as TW after you play with the options a little (on any ROM)
I think the new ADX launcher is amazing, a lot of cool features like widget previews, fast and all the customization. It's won me over.
This is also the first device I've used that TSF Shell is great on. Perfect size for it.
Just curious if people prefer stock or a replacement launcher?

Nova.
I used ROM Cleaner to remove the sense launcher.
Ha I was also wondering this. Was just about to ask and saw this thread. I was wanting to make a sleek simple homescreen and someone said I couldn't change icons with stock launcher.
How easy is it to switch back and forth between launchers?
As easy as installing from the play store and running it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
But would it keep all the settings. Like could you set up two different launchers and have them set the way you want. Then just feel like going to a different look one day just because you feel like it lol.
Yes. A launcher is just an app like any other app. Settings get saved.
Nova, have used it since I got my Galaxy S2. Love it easy backup/restore change icons individually, and more!
Just installed Nova Launcher and gotta say its pretty cool. Here's what I created. Just two questions. Can nova launcher make the status bar clear? And I used simple text to change icons on the dock but it has black background behind the words. Can I make that clear somehow.
I use apex launcher and as nova
It's amazing, I had no trouble changing plenty of phones while keeping my layout

Action Launcher - allows minimalist approach, very fast to select apps. And Blink Feed app from appstore switches back into sense launcher so I can go back and forth.
Apex
This may be the perfect place to post this:
Does anyone know of a launcher (or can creat one) that is JUST the Sense 5 app drawer?
i.e: unlock your phone, and hit the app drawer button: THAT is ALL I want to see.

I've always liked the stock launchers over Nova, Apex, etc. Although I did enjoy them on CM roms on the One X when I had it. Usually I'm not a fan of stock Android. I've always much preferred the manufacturer skins.
I love sense 5 too much to switch
