Not sure about your specific launcher, but jkay's mod will let you do this on Touchwiz 4.0 (Touchwiz roms)

For the lockscreen wallpaper choose Transparent or Same as Homescreen (Homescreen is better unless you want to see your widgets etc)

jkay's mod is fine but I'm not sure if it will work or break the rom im using. There's no indication whether it's compatible universally across all ICS roms or just stock ICS rom.

I didn't realise you were on ICS. No JKay does not currently have an ICS version of his mod, but he is working on one check this out from time to time to check on his progress, but do not ask him for ETA etc

Disable perspective wallpaper?

Hey guys is there any way to disable the perspective(scrolling) wallpaper on Android? I have an evo
running mik g rom. Thanks for the help in advance!
Swyped from mah evo!
If you mean how the wallpaper scrolls with home screens, then I know you can use Nemus launcher and that's an option in the settings.

Nothing i've ever heard of. There's no good reason not to install another Launcher that has this option though. Launcher Pro or ADW are probably the favourite choices.

Try the OGQ background app, with it you can choose scrolling/nonscrolling etc...
It's awesome.
You can find it in the market, backgrounds by OGQ

Yes... This app has an option to do that...
Did you not read my post.
You can use this so to set wallpapers you already have too by going into gallery, closing set as, and them picking this app out of the list.
Wallpapyrus gives the options to have iPhone like wallpaper (ie no scrolling)

i need stock icons for ICS

Hey guys im testing some things out with my phone, and i've searched google and looked through ALOT of places, but i can't find any ICS icons pack, i would like it to be stock- no changes - any idea where to find?
Download a ics rom and pull the icons from the apks with winrar or 7zip
Ice Cream Sandwich icons..
Nice thanks
Ok so I am very new to this so bare with me.. I'm on ICS Passion v11. For me to modify the icons such as the dock icons, do I flash them? or is there a certain process I have to do to change them. Sorry if it's been brought up already. I did use the search and was kind of lost on how to go about it.

You have to use Nova launcher or apex launcher in order to change icons. Those are like stock ics launchers but they allow you to change icons. Both are free in the market.

[Q] Change the 4x4 home screen grid to 5x5, possible?

There seems to be enough screen space to fit 5x5 icons on the homescreens instead of 4x4.
What's the easiest way to do this on a stock SGS3?
I don't think there are any mods yet to change the stock TW launcher. You might want to check out Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher if you haven't already.

In fact, TW is already modded...

Or just install another launcher such as Go Launcher.

Thanks all!

I tried out Nova (free) for a few days, have uninstalled due to:
- icons sometimes take a while to reappear.
- Calendar / S Planner widget sometimes takes a long time to populate.
The TW mods appear to need root... so I'm back to stock TW, and realizing that I don't need more than 4x4 that badly.

Other Other launcher compatible with Jelly Bean?

Hi,
I was using ADW launcher with ICS.
After having flashed to Jelly Bean, I have noted that the launcher
I was using with ICS (Adw launcher ) is no more compatible .
Adw is in my opinion much more user friendly than TW, has more features like
having more than 4 icons in rows or columns per dock or having a black background below the name of the icons , etc.
Any idea wich launcher has also these features?
Thank you.

I am currently using Apex with official JB. Works fine.
Nova and Apex are still the best for me basically the same features for both launchers

I have tried both (Apex and Nova) and Nova is in my opinion the better one and it has a feature to import desktop layout from another laucher.

I dont think the widget even works on any other launcher. I dont have s5 but i have owned s4 and note3 and I know that the TW widgets needs the TW launcher to function.

Yes, it works with Apex and Nova. Just doesn't have the built in transparency option in widget settings like in TW. Must be a framework thing or a built in launcher check in the APK. Maybe someone can edit it?
