Has anyone noticed that you can't set full size wallpapers? regardless of whatever picture you try to apply as a wallpaper, it will always crop. and yes i am talking about the home screen.

I think this has to do with ics than sgs3 in particular. It is the same in my one x and seen similar behavior with galaxy nexus.

or maybe it has something to do with touchwiz/sense? on my sgs2 running CM9 i didn't have problems applying wallpapers. i might be in the minority, but i do like scrolling wallpapers so this is kinda bugging me. Thanks for the reply

I mentioned galaxy nexus running stock ics... You missed that?
Also I forgot to mention they are apps in play store where you can set full wallpaper. Can't remember names but wallpaper wizardi is one of them I think.

[REQUEST] HTC Flyer Live Weather Wallpaper apk

Hi....Can someone please provide me with the apk above. Would love to try to port it to my Galaxy Tab 10.1. The weather animation on the Flyer looks really cool.
please somebody post this apk
I have the motorola xoom and would love to have the htc flyer weather live wallpaper.
the samsung galaxy S II beach and windmill weather wallpapers are pretty good, but they just dont compare to the htc flyer's live wallpaper.
please upload the apk file, as it would be greatly appreciated.
Pretty sure they are part of Sense, so it wont work for you.
Like mentioned, it might not work
But here's the apk - http://db.tt/jJNZiEqC

Small Clock Widget Sensation XL? (SOLVED)

Is it possible to get the smaller version of the clock widget that is on the Sensation XL version of sense 3.5
EDIT they have the clock in the new sense ics roms!
I have tried a few methods from the Sensation forum and none of them have worked for me. I can get it to install and show up under widgets but it will not show up on my home screen. I am running a custom rom. I think maybe our screen resolution has something to do with it??

Although you would have to purchase it, just get Beautiful Widgets from the market. It has everything that you would need. That's a 4x1 widget that's included with BW. You can also get tons of skins to make it look how you want.

I noticed the ICS leaks have this widget. Is there anyone that can port it to Gingerbread?

[Q] ICS Rom with scrolling wallpaper?

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.

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.

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.

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.

background wallpaper on sense 4+

Is that true that on sense 4.1 the background on the home isn't moving anymore while sliding through the pages? I think that it would be very disappointing in the case..

I missed the scrolling wallpapers too.. With the Apex or Nova launcher (and problably some more) you can "restore" the scrolling wallpaper option, but then you can't use the Sense widgets anymore.. :/

Yea I mean the stock wallpapers that come with the phone are 2160x1920 and they still require cropping if you manually set them as a wallpaper via gallery.
So yeah, 2160x1080 works. What I did was I just found a good 1920x1080 image, rotated it, doubled the width and made sure the image was centered. I put together a pack of 8 abstract wallpapers if anyone is interested.
