I'm running the latest CM7 nightly on my Droid Incredible. I have the paid versions of both ADW and Launcher Pro, but at the end of the day I always go back to the stock Gingerbread launcher. It's fast, minimal, and it just works. My only complaint is that that launcher2 only has five home screens, and I would like seven. A Google search brought me to a launcher2 mod over on XDA that has seven home screens, but whenever I press the phone shortcut I get a message telling me that "this application is not installed on your phone" (the mod is from the Samsung Epic 4G, I believe it's looking for the Touchwiz dialer and not the stock Gingerbread dialer). Would it be possible to mod the stock Gingerbread launcher to have seven screens and a working phone shortcut?

Did you try to push the file using root explorer or just install the apk the normal way... the instructions say to push it via root explorer.
Hit thanks if I helped please!

I pushed with root explorer. I think the problem is that the launcher is looking for the Touckwiz dialer, not the stock Gingerbread dialer.

I've been using my new launcher since yesterday and it's great, though I've found one small problem. starts, like when I power my phone back on in the morning, the widgets on the two home screens on the far right disappear. Again, this is a small problem and other then than that the launcher works perfectly.

So I flashed an ICS ROM on my s2 and i see that scrolling wallpaper is now broken. Are there any ROMs that work with SGH-I777 that support scrolling wallpaper??

Nobody can help you with the information provided. We need your current ROM, kernel, any other information you can provide about what exactly you're running. Virtually all ICS ROMs have wallpapers that will scroll as you swipe from screen to screen(I assume that's what you're talking about). Also, launchers such as Nova or Apex have options that let you have a static wallpaper that doesn't scroll when you switch home screens.

Ok, well I guess I dont understand how my current ROM would matter but it is this one I used. It says it had a replacement kernel with it too.

What? You do understand what a rom is, right? You understand that it determines the entire user interface? How would it not matter?

I assumed that because it isn't working in the way I want, ie wallpaper doesn't scroll, that I would need to use new one. This same problem happened in gingerbread when I updated to 2.3.6 and there is no way to fix it except by changing the rom or firmware version.
So that's why I thought it wouldn't matter.

Huh, I don't remember that happening with UCKK6. I only ran it for about a week a long time ago though, so I don't really remember. Anyway, yeah, whether or not a the wallpaper scrolls is generally driven by the rom. For instance, on my wife's Inspire, Sense 2.1 roms have scrolling wallpaper while sense 3.0 and 3.5 roms do not.
Kind of irritating to not have it in my opinion...but the solution is just to switch to a different rom. If you want a Touchwiz based rom, I'd suggest trying ShoStock2 or Phonebricker. If you want a Google AOSP based rom, try out AOKP or CM9.

Its not the rom its a problem with the Wallpaper Chooser app. Every other launcher and wallpaper app I've tried all work just fine and I've got the Danzig skull in my avatar happily spread across all screens now.

Huh. I've never actually used the TW ICS launcher because it looked so terrible...always stuck to Apex or Go. It's pretty crappy of AT&T to remove features in a new launcher.

I had this issue with my old droid charge.
try downloading zedge (i know....) and picking a random wallpaper, install it and see if that gives you any scrolling...
I was able to get scrolling to work by uploading my wallpaper jpg to a file host and then opening it via web browser and setting as wallpaper as well, but if i tried to set the wallpaper via the homescreen settings it would crop most of the picture and all i had was the very center of the image zoomed in with no scrolling.

It is not the launcher, it is the gallery. The one packed in the original rom does not support it. Switch the gallery from a rom that does, most of the i9100 do and the custom roms here

Does the gallery somehow control scrolling features of live wallpapers too then? Because those won't work in TW or any other launcher on the android market either.

I've never run live wallpapers so I can't answer that, I just know that I replaced the gallery in the leak and it allowed me to resize my wallpaper and allow it to scroll from page to page.

Tried zedge just now, no dice. I've tried a few other apps that set wallpapers as well and they just give me some weird zoom and no scrolling.
Does anyone know of an rooted S2 ROM that is pretty much stock Samsung ICS 4.03 that gives me 5 horizontal icons on home screen and 5 x 5 in the apps drawer.
Alternatively any way to achieve this this with an existing rooted ROM?
Don't want to do it through an alternative launcher as I am happy with TW.
Thanks in advance.

This is probably the best for you

TW wont do that out of the box.
Look into TW 4.5 - not sure if it'll work on ICS, but I used it on GB and it allowed you to change the grid size IIRC.
Oh and it's a launcher thing, not a ROM thing.
Otherwise, find other launcher i guess...
Use apex launcher
On home screen touch the menu key
Go apex settings > home screen settings > portrait grid
Change to 5x5 or whatever u want

Thanks for that I have TW4.5 on my current ROM which is running 4.0.3 and have had on previous ROM's but this is the first time I have seen 5 horizontal icons on the home page, had never seen it as an option either.
I will investigate some more as I don't really want to use another launcher.
It's not even funny to post "Rom Challenge " in android development section.
That's my mistake I will withdraw the post. Thanks.

Not possible unless you get a third party launcher like Nova or Apex launcher. Or you root the tablet

Just install a third-party launcher. Those will not only allow you to disable scrolling, but will allow you to delete home screen pages and give you plenty of options that the stock launcher doesn't.
There is a Q&A forum for questions like these. You can use the search bar at the top of the forum to see if someone else has asked your question and find the solution there before you make a post. If you can't find the answer, then go ahead and post a new thread.

Install this app, go to live wallpaper and open the app, hit settings, select the image and boom. Best looking image and auto crops to fit

I was looking for a "how to guide" on how to make themes for the app, but I did`nt come across any here.
So is there some sort of template or guide somewhere that lads like me can use in order to make some themes for the app, cheers.
there is a video guide m8 probably the easiest way to do it is to download a theme and get used to changing things around to how you want them ie change the wallpaper,icons etc

Chances are it's DPI issues, Themer was designed to work only on stock DPI as well as the supported resolution. We will consider changing this in the future though.
Any chance for a more advanced tutorial?

To set screen 2 or any other long press home screen when widget's are locked and select +/- home screen there you will find 2 columns 1 for number of home screens and 1 to select which is the default home screen.
IE: for a 3 page theme and default screen as 2 it would look like in my screen shot
