[problem] xxlpq ics rom - cannot change wallpaper when gpu on - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I have found a strange problem in the official release of Galaxy S II ICS ROM XXLPQ. When on Developer Options you check the "Force GPU Rendering" You cannot change the wallpaper of your home screen. Gallery Crashes all the time. Only Live Wallpaper can be used. Has anyone came across this problem.
Also please advise how to fix it?

Disable gpu rendering, change wallpaper, then enable it back?

I am doing it right now but its shouldn't be a normal practise. It Is irritating. There must be a fix.

Stock launcher (TouchWiz) does it on 2.3.3.
Since when does stock do it? none of the stock roms I've used have.

Sorry - ignore me. I thought I was in the Galaxy Tab forum

ICS interactive widgets pretty sluggish.

So all the interactive widgets which for example include scrolling are pretty sluggish for me. For example the social hub widget or the e-mail widget (or the one 2do includes). It feels a bit slow and is pretty stutter-ish. Is this normal or...?

Bump. Can anyone just say wether this is the case fot them or not?

scrollable widgets are mainly dependent of the launcher you use, so try using different launcher, that should solve your issue.

I don't want to use another launcher.. I just want to know wether this behaviour is normal or not..
No this behavior is not normal, they were working perfect on gingerbread, now they redraw themselves very often on ICS. I think they need updating to use ICS scrolling capabilities natively because so far they use the open source library from Launcher+.

Custom rom wipe and flash again .

Tablet Mode Mod --Q & A-- !!!!!!

I know he made the Mod for his Alpha ICS Rom, BUT it seems to work on most ICS builds so i am making its own Q&A thread so we can stay out of Noteworthy/Seraphim/Dags thread with questions strictly about this Mod.
so this will be for GENERAL QUESTIONS on this Mod from member to member.....what dpi are you running, are you having issues on a certain Rom, things you would like to tell others about your experiance with this Mod running on your phone.
Have at it Yall!!!!!
on my part i love the Mod, im on seraphim and have had NO ISSUES
Only issues I have are started in the OP, and fc's with Samsung camera deleting a picture and ICS camera switching to panoramic. Besides that running awesome on note worthy

im using adw ex, 4d scrolling app drawer, and it does 5 x however many apps you have, it scrolls real smooth too.
really liking the tablet mode, it gives the phone a whole defferent feel overall.
i dont have any market issues after loading another vending apk, no contacts issues, no FC's seems to be almost perfect on this end
thanks Dag

My only issues so far are, the stock browser crashes when opened (downloaded a different) a fc on one of the camera apps and I would really like my weather widget to fill more of the screen (resizing the app doesnt cut it)

That's what I meant by "resizing the widget doesn't cut it" I've already stretched it as much as I can with the widget resize feature...which is whats in my screen shot.

Xperia S: Flash button disappear from camera ui

As stated in the title, my flash button disappear from the camera UI suddenly. I suspect that Foursquare caused the problem as I use Foursquare's shortcut to take photo once. Anyone has any idea about this?
Fyi, I'm currently on stock .452.
Maybe u deleted the shortcut!

[Q] Camera app start in android jb

My question is very short is it possible to prevent camera app to start automatically rotating into landscape with just the icons adjusting to portrait/landscape view? I find this real annoying because not just the pop ups are always in landscape but also it does not start or close smoothly and by the way it looks ugly;
so is it be possible to make the camera start as other apps in that mode I actually hold my phone?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Try this.
Good idea, but does not change anything because what i asked for is a change in the camera app itself will make a video later to show what i mean but nevertheless thanks for the link
