[Q] (Q) Paranoidandroid problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am using v0.4 and when you resize an app for example android weather the widget would resize, but 0.5 and 0.6 I can’t resize the widgets so I’m still using 0.4. I can’t post in paranoid forum because I’m a new user. I have apex set at 120 in tab mode and android weather set to 210 and the widget is perfect size. I’m surprised anyone else hasn’t noticed this on xda. if anyone see's this post can you please mention on paranoidandroid forum please
Thanks

make sure that you have the option "resize any widget" is ticked in apex settings
u will find this option in apex settings>>advanced as i remember

Hi, thanks for the quick reply, I have that ticked in apex but the problem is the dpi of the widget stays small and hard to read, even after I have changed the dpi of the app to 210. Works perfect on paranoidandroid v0.4.

Hi evaworld could you possibly mention this on paranoid thread
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

yes you are right , it was working in v4 , but from v5 it will not , i think to change the dpi of widget is relevant to the dpi of launcher , so if you want higher dpi of your widgets , in v5 nad v6 you have to change the dpi of launcher to higher value
btw , will mention it there dear

Thanks, I just realized how to pm Dark, so I have spoken to him about it.

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 notices it, its a nice change. I no longer need to use another app to set my wallpaper

My European NOTE has scrolling wallpaper but my Rogers LTE does not lol
cheap Qualcome snapdragon cant handle it prob
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!!!

No it is not. It's Samsungs design feature not to scroll wallpapers.
Try wallpaper wizardrii, and choose "crop landscape". But I'm on Apex launcher so don't know if TW has it.
Again, APEX LAUNCHER HAS WALLPAPER SCROLLING if you use wallpaper wizadrii
It doesn't work ... it seems that is part of the system.

Well I thought so, because it's the same with all new sense phones!

Apex launcher add a new option to select the wallpaper and let you define the galaxy nexus background with scrolling effect.
After installing this launcher this new option persist. The drawback is that there is only one backgroud image... maybe it is possible to add new backgrounds with scrolling effecs if we find where they are placed...

Possible solution for Galaxy S3
I found this application, still beta version :
Scrolling Wallpaper
Andronymus
Description:
This live wallpaper is for devices which do not have the possibility to scroll the wallpaper image with the stock launcher. It is mainly designed for the Galaxy S3.
It is a replacement for the background wallpaper in the home screen.
PD: I can't not post the link because I'm a new user ...
-> the web is -> play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lwp.superluminar.swallpaper&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImx3cC5zdXBlcmx1bWluYXIuc3dhbGxwYXBlciJd
I cant find a reason why to do this.
I hope developers with custom roms fix this,because samsung sleeps...
Yep ... i agree with you...
lol thats stupid !
A live wallpaper is not a good solution, but is something ...

This is what you have to do.
Put whatever background you want to use on your web server.
Use the stock internet program to navigate to that picture.
Long press on the pic to bring up the menu.
Select "Set as wallpaper"
Finally, the wallpaper is scrollable. And use 1440 x 1280.

[Q] OnlyOne Rom - Samsungwidget_weatherclock

Hi, I just purchased the Note and I installed OnlyOne rom right away because I wanted ICS. I'm setting up my home screen and I don't see the Samsung clock/weather widget. I see it in the system/app folder but I don't see it under widgets. Is it not there or am I doing something wrong?
I would ask in the dev thread but I'm new here and I don't have enough posts.

Unless you changed launchers, the weather widget is in the drawer towards the end of the list. If you've changed launchers it won't be there.

i'm not sure if the gingerbread clock widget is supported in ICS. *please correct me if I'm wrong*
if it truly is not then i highly recommend Beautiful Widgets. i think it's under $3 and you will have more options for your clock widget than you'd know what to do with.
The Rom he flashed is a sgs3 Rom and it does include Samsung widgets.

Lol its not a sgs3 ROM its flapjaxx base room and it has s3 stuff included. Yes the stock clocks are all in there they look smaller in the widget menu compared to a stock ROM due to the s3 launcher is resized for or devices just look a little harder you will see it

I figured it out but it doesn't matter because there's a glitch. Once the screen orientation changes from the home screen the widget disappears. No point in using it.

Is there a launcher that allows for different grid sizes per screen ?

Hi
I have been searching for a launcher that allows me to change the grid sizes per screen but so far i have not found one
does anyone know of one that does this.
I want one for use on a galaxy gear watch so that i can have the main screen set to 4x5 for the widget and then as the screen is so small i want the other screens to only have a 2x2 or 3x3 grid so the icons are big enough
hope you get what i mean
Thanks

I see what you mean but why don't you resize the widgets instead of searching for this kind of launcher?
Not sure, but I'm going to develop one that does, thanks for the idea. Nexogen Developers

Try Lucid Launcher... I know you said you wanted a resizeable grid, but maybe no grid will work better?

[Q] X-NOTE port question

So I just flashed the ported X-Note rom and I love everything about it except I can't get my widgets to go across the whole screen since apparently it is a modded TW launcher set for 5x4. A post in the forum said to download SecLauncher4.apk and I did but it also had other instructions that I did not know how to follow. Thanks for any help !!!

Install the Nova Launcher, you can set the number of widgets in the desktop, app drawer, and dock. Its very easy to set up, with more features and the ability to bring widgets from TW launcher over to Nova launcher.
Thanks ilk give that a try. Any idea on why the YouTube App FC's in the ROM?
