I have the Telus version (I717) and with any Launcher (Go, Pro, ADW) I get any standard WP to scroll (if you enable it properly in the Launcher). But I cannot get any Live WP to scroll?
I have been reading on this, and there is a lot of confusion, we need to be specific about wich Launcher and what type of WP (Live or Standard) and if standard your image have to be wider then 800 (preferably 1600).
So my understanding is the stock launcher (TouchWiz) does not have the scroll function, it needs to be added with an app or a launcher. I tested that Pro, Go and ADW sroll standard WP fine with the proper settings and image. But so far there is no way to have Live WP to scroll (for those Live WP that have that feature).
1. Can anyone confirm my understanding?
2. And tell me if there is any confirmation of where this limitation is comming from (hardware, OS, Carrier...)?
3. Also is there any other lead or thread about a potential solution?
thanks.
Does anyone have any update on this problem?
I'm using Apex and my Nexus Revamped scrolls fine. Have you tried Apex?
You have to go into Apex Settings -> Homescreen Settings -> Wallpaper scrolling.
Also, some live wallpapers don't scroll for me.

Could you please tell me wich LWP (live wallpaper) do scroll with Apex?
And did you try if they also scroll with other launcher?
Thanks.

Microbes, Nexus Revamped and Beautiful Widgets were the only ones I tested for scroll. I haven't tried other launchers, for I was happy with TWlauncher for the longest time. Sorry!
hyukki,
I just noticed that you are using ICS (Apex require ICS), this problem is related to an apparent limitation of the Galaxy Note with Gingerbread, so it does not apply.
Also I am not sure that Microbes, Nexus Revamped and Beautiful Widgets LWP have a scrolling left/right animation when you scroll left/right on home screen?
Thanks anyway,
PS: If you have a Note, how did you upgraded to ICS?

Ah sorry, I shouldn't have assumed. They all do scroll, just as you would expect the scrolling animation to be. Not really sure how I'd explain it.
As to how I got ICS is from one of the threads about ICS leaks. I downloaded the odin exe and got it done really simply. If you are new to flashing/roms, I suggest reading about the process and reverting, nandroid backups, bootloaders and other important things.

I wanted to give LauncherPro a try again which worked really well on my Evo 4g. My problem is that pictures that I've taken with my front camera wont display fullscreen and require me to crop them directly in the middle in order to use them which makes the image much bigger. When using Sense it does not do this and allows me to use the image fullscreen. I really do not like my background being stretched through tabs . Any solutions?? Any info would be great!
I've been googling for a good hour or so and have come up with absolutely nothing.
Just realized that it has nothing to do with LP in general, but any other launcher. They try to force me to crop the image and while cropping I can't select the whole image, but the image is already in proportion to the fullscreen.
Go Launcher does this for me too. I don't know how to correct it either.
I believe you are talking about wallpaper scrolling. In go launcher it's under screen settings-disable wallpaper scrolling. Launcher pro its appearance settings-disable wallpaper scrolling. I'm trying to decide between the two right now

Unfortunately, while you can disable wallpaper scrolling in the various launcher apps, you cannot disable the way in which it wants to crop the image. Even if you go from Launcher Pro back to Sense it will still try to crop images for the wider, scrolling format. A hot restart after switching back to Sense was the only way to solve this for me. I didn't try that after switching off the wallpaper scrolling option in Launcher Pro so it's worth a shot.
Ultimately, I just gave in and found or made a bunch of wallpapers of a 1080x960 dimension that look great scrolling in Launcher Pro.
I found a solution. Wallpaper Wizardrii allows you to set the wallpaper correctly! It's free on the android market and worked flawlessly.

Hi guys,
I just made the move from a galaxy nexus to a galaxy note.
One of the things i've always been able to do on any of my previous android phones was to have a scroll-able wallpaper.
It seems the stock launcher does not have scrolling? I have also tried 3rd part launchers and they scroll, but its a zoomed in picture.
Is this some side effect of the really large resolution?
I've tried a couple of market apps to set wallpapers and they all do the same thing.
If I go back to the stock launcher then back to a third part launcher the image is fine, but not scroll-able.
Maybe this is because the stock launcher does not scroll, so the image in the 3rd party launchers is trying to scroll the smaller image?
There has to be some sort of edit that can make the wallpaper the correct wide size (1280x2400?) vs just 1280x800
±1 same unsolved issue

1000% better.. and lag free
I asked this question before and someone referred me to wallpaper wizardrii. Won't work with factory wallpaper and won't scroll either. Download an HD wallpaper app like picspeed wallpapers, favorite (not save) any of the images you want to use later, then exit. Open wallpaper wizzardrii, click top right button, and and scroll down to "Favorite Picspeed Wallpapers". Choose the pic and play with the settings until it looks right on your screen. I shrink the photo all the way down, then use stretch landscape and it looks pretty damn good.
Launcher pro was not the answer for me.
Wallpaper Set and Save in the market. Simple, small, non-intrusive, and sizes them perfectly.

that's the key (when using a different launcher) Use wallpaper wizardrii with the stretch or crop exact setting, and scroll checked.
I still have not found a way to make it scroll on the TW launcher.
I actually prefer mine not to scroll lol
for launcher pro you have to go into the settings and uncheck the no scroll option

Nice. That seemed to work good. Now if the OS can get the scroll function ebnabled. Though it seems ICS might be on the horizon, so this will all probably be fixed in ICS I would hope...
For scrolling wallpapers the only launcher I have found that works is ashell.It is a pretty good little launcher. It runs pretty light and has some good custom options and transitions. Not gonna blow you away like TSF or SPB launchers, but it also is not 20 bucks

I had this issues with GO Launcher EX. I figured out that in the launcher's Preferences --> Visual Settings --> Backgrounds --> Wallpaper mode : select "Vertical screen" mode instead of "Default mode".
Excuse me if I missed it but I'm interested in getting my wallpaper cropped, panoramic, and scrolling as they did in my Galaxy S2 and Fascinate. I know some people are using different launchers to accomplish this. Which one and are they able to crop the wallpaper properly prior to setting it? I also have one other request. I need my live wallpapers to scroll as well since I have one that slightly rotates in either direction when panning thru my home pages. Why is this feature not included on the Note? I sure do miss it. Thanks for your assistance.

I was wondering this myself. I was quite boggled when I went to make my wallpaper my favorite TRON: Legacy wallpaper with LauncherPro and it was completely wrong.
I can get them to scroll when using ADW and Go launchers but it doesn't change the fact that we have to crop them in a portrait shape instead of a landscape shape like we want. Also, my live wallpaper will not rotate no matter what launcher I use. I'm doubting ICS will give us this option either. Maybe a custom ROM is our only hope Great, back to the custom ROM world of bugs...
Autosize DbD wallpaper set is the app you need to pick up to crop or fit a wallpaper correctly without having it enlarged.
Scrolling wallpaper works for me on the launcher called ashell
Both these apps are free and lightweight

Do you think this will allow live wallpapers to scroll? I have several that move when moving from page to page when used in my galaxy 2 or fascinate
If you use the skyrocket wallpaperpicker.apk (will try and post it up later)
it allows landscape selection.

Hai,
I am having a problem with the scrolling of a live wallpaper which I recently downloaded. When switching between homescreens, the wallpaper scrolling stutters horribly and causes the homescreen animation to stutter too. From what I can tell, the problem is not performance-related, as the UI is still running at 60fps while it stutters, so I think it might simply be a problem with the wallpaper.
Is there any way to disable live wallpaper scrolling? The wallpaper itself does not have this option, but I am wondering if there might be another way?
The wallpaper is called "Sakura Falling Live Wallpaper" on the Market.
Thanks! :3

Dude,
I think it's a bit harsh that you've left the dev a user review on Google Play page saying that his app needs fixing when you've only tried it on an unofficial leaked ROM.

I would not have done so were it the case that the ROM could be responsible. The same problem occurs on my ICS Transformer Prime.

Which ROM are you on? Some offer simple flashable mods for disabling wallpaper scrolling (it's a simple integer value in systems).
Also, are you using Stock TW, or an external launcher?

I am on the SuperNexus ROM with the stock Jelly Bean launcher.
Hey Guys,
I am in dire need of a launcher I like. I have a Galaxy S II i9100 running CM10. The only Launcher I have used that I love 100% is TouchWiz ironically... But the battery control is too poor to justify a switch back to Stock Roms (And no Jelly Bean!?)
I have tried the extracted TouchWiz launchers and they provide everything I want but all of them crash far to often...
So I am looking for a launcher that will meet my desires (I am willing to pay for it).
1) App View type Ordered List of Apps in Alphabetical Order. (Not the 4x4 grid I want the 1x30 ordered list)
2) Pinch Zoom of the Home Screens to view all home-screens
3) Re-sizable widgets
Thanks Guys,
Joshua Puckett

I looked at Nova a while back, I will re-download it and check it out, thanks. I seem to remember that I couldn't do a list style, Attached is a screenshot of the feature mentioned in 1)... it is the one I want the most.
EDIT: Confirmed that Nova doesn't have the Ordered List feature. Thanks for the advice though.
