I was playing with a TF300 at Best Buy today and it seems the Day Scene LWP is different than the one that comes on the TF101. The one I saw had animated birds and a sun which mine does not.
Would some one be so kind as to post the APK to see if it works on my old TF101?

the stock Asus day scene lwp is not set as the default when you first turn on the tablet, you are only seeing the wallpaper of the day scene. Long press on the home screen and select lwp's, and then select day scene. it will have the animated birds, shooting stars, and birds you are looking for.
I use cm9 in my tf300t, and I would like to use it. Is there any way to port it?
Either try normally installing it, or if it doesn't work (I think it doesn't), put it in /system/app and set permissions to rw- r-- r-- and reboot and it should be there.
Thanks, I will try it!

Does this method work for installing any ASUS Stock apps/widgets, like the email or weather widgets, or supernote & polaris office? I've gotten luck with some, not all.
My LWP doesn't have any birds or anything on it :/ Only a slightly animated light rays coming from the clouds

Thanks for posting this. Unfortunately it didn't work. It FCs when trying to a activate it on the Tf101. I think the size looks quite small because I have one taken from the Prime and it is about 8 Mb. Looks like Asus must have moved some of the graphic resources out of the APK.

It would have been black as overlays the live wallpaper effects over the static wallpaper. If you don't have the wallpapers ithen will just show a black screen......hence what you are seeing.

Searched through a couple of threads on getting the wallpapers to show up properly but wasn't able to find a definite solution and after spending a couple hours trying to figure it out here it is:
This will allow the wallpaper to span all 5 screens of ADW launcher (or any other launcher I would imagine) without pixelating or distorting.
Create a background that is 1200x1024 and in PNG format (I used PNG 24bit since that is what the stock wallpapers are at) and put the picture in the My Files\Wallpapers folder on your device memory.
Go to the Nook settings>Home>Set Wallpaper and select the wallpaper you want to use form the "Wallpaper" tab and not the "Photo Gallery" tab.
After applying the wallpaper go back to the home screen and you will have a nice clean background that spans all screens and isn't distorted.

I tried the Wallpaper Set and Save app but found that it still enlarged the image and cut off the top and bottom somewhat.
resizing them to 1200x1024 and saving them in .png did the trick
although this one is not 1200x1024 (the original isnt either) here's a default wallpaper for contrarians

The default wallpapers are 840x1024, but they aren't big enough to fill the multiple screens of ADW
What I did was turn the nook horizontally and set the wallpaper. Make sure you don't turn it over until the wallpaper is set. Once the wallpaper is set you can turn it back vertically and it should come out ok. This was the only way I could get the wallpaper to not be zoomed in.

Yeah, it does cut it off some, but not a big deal to me... the resolution is great, and it doesn't require photo resizing on a desktop. Depends how particular each person is about getting every inch of the image (I'd imagine this app would suffice for many).
I use Flikie Wallpapers HD which is free in the app store. Has many different types of wallpaper and they fit the screen perfectly regardless of if you're using one screen or seven screens.
Flickie wallpaper HD worked perfectly for me. I have been looking for an app like this. Thanks!
I got another solution.
But this only work with one wallpaper.
go to system/framework/
Look for framework_res.apk
Then use 7z to edit it.
Replace the default_wallpaper.png you'll get a better quality wallpaper.

Hi guys,
I guess everyone is having problem, setting their favourite wallpapers on honeycomb. Because whenever we try to set wallpaper, it asks for cropping and after applying cropped wallpaper becomes blurred [like it zommed in the wallpaper]......
some people said to use wallpaper wizardrii app but honestly it didnt help me at all....it still crops the picture and sometimes make it blurred.
so my solution to set desired wallpaper without cropping is very very simple but as i said this is just an alternative not the perfect solution.
just download live wallpaper called ''WATERIZE LIVE WALLPAPER '' , install it and then open it. By default it will have stones background. Go to settings and choose custom background of yourchoice. Apply it. Thats it. Now you have wallpaper of your choice without cropping. Its so easy and plus it adds the effect of water ripples on your wallpaper which looks so cool. Try out.
this is my alternative way to set background without cropping but little sacrifice is its live wallpaper but i would really love to use this until google solve this issue on honeycomb.
i have provided the link for download.
if anyone likes this then please comment
And i see, you must use the full version to get the option custom image.
Use Wallpaper Wizardii from the market
'Wallpaper for Tablets' in the market solves the problem as well.
Also, 'MultiPicture Live Wallpaper'
Both are free, and allow you to perfect you wallpaper on the tab.
+1 for multi live wallpaper
+1 Wallpaper for Tablet. Works great. No more crop

What is the exact wallpaper size if using wallpaper for tablet? 1280 x 800 ?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
The problem is that using these programs you apply a live wallpaper like a static wallepaper ...... and that this decreases the speed of toucwiz.
I think 1920x1408 resolution is best for our honeycomb tablets. But this multi live wallpaper software make the images fit to screen so u dont need to worry. Otherwise for perfect size try the above resolution....i will upload some wallpaper collection when i m free.
---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
thanks to refer me this amazing software. I installed it long ago but at that time i was new to honeycomb so didnt notice the setting menu of multi live wallpaper but now i installed again and looked into the setttings and when i applied. ...i found that this software is ****in awesome. I love the way it has difffernt wallpaers on each screen and specially the screen transition effect is glorious.
One question though, being a live wallpaper and changing wallpaper on time intervals itself, do u think it will consume more ram and subsequently battery?
I wish it just use battery like a static wallpaper.
Another app that I used previously (although it was on my phone and not on my tablet) was "Wallpaper Set and Save".
Wallpaperwizadrrii and multipicture all compress the picture and degrade the quality.
I have yet to see a solution that maintains quality AND doesnt crop.

That's incorrect.
As I said in another thread, when using a stock Honeycomb ROM and/or ADW the standard rules of Android wallpaper sizing apply.
You take the screen resolution in portrait and double the width and that's the size the wallpaper should be to fit perfectly. Obviously you can scale up or down from there if you really want to but the ratio will stay the same.
There is a question-mark as to whether TouchWiz changes the way wallpapers are selected/size but since I really don't like TouchWiz, I haven't investigated.
Free!! Multi-live wallpaper..try it!!!
The BEST solution and a little more OPTIONS is MULTI-LIVE WALLPAPER..It looks Semi-Challenging to use but it really isn't..It allows you to set each screen with a specific wallpaper or you can have it cycle to different ones throughout your wallpaper folder..I have it set so that it cycles thru as I change Home screens..Don't let the Name fool you..It is IMO the BEST ONE OUT..Try it and see for yourself..You can also set it to FILL your SCREEN!!!Also the screen TRANSITIONS are AWESOME..And its 100% FREE!!!!

The firmware allows you to change the lockscreen wallpaper, Settings > Screen > Screen display.
You just need to size it up in the manner I laid out in the thread I linked-to.

Hi...
I did not see this posted in the GSP threads so I am putting a link for anyone interested in playing with the Asus Widgets with their Galaxy Players.
Just to let everyone know, I did not create or mod any of the widgets so I am not taking any credits for the work. Just providing a link for some cool widgets.
Anyway, I tried all the widgets posted on the link and every one of them work good for my setup. I am using CM9 with dpi set at 190 on my YP-G70 GSP 5.0 INT. I am sure this will work with US version too.
I am not sure, however, if this will work with roms other than ICS roms. If anyone with the GB rom wants to try and report, that would be great.
Please follow directions on the OP of the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592068
All these widgets need to be copied to the /system/app folder. Permissions need to be set to rw_r__r__. Reboot and enjoy. You will probably want to back up the original apps (email.apk, exchange.apk and deskclock.apk) into another location for safe keeping in case something goes wrong.
The Asus weather widget is a bit of a problem if you live in the US and require F readings instead of the C reading. The save button is hidden and the settings cannot be saved. You need to temporarily change the DPI to 120 in order to set this widget for F temp reading. At DPI set to 120, you can see a sliver of the "Save" button on the corner at portrait mode. Hit this with your desired settings. Once the settings are saved, you can go back to your original DPI and the widget will still work with your new settings.
So... enjoy...

Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
After perusing the Nexus 10 Themes and Apps forum, I was motivated to finally try out a custom launcher. I successfully installed Apex Launcher and the Sphere Theme icons on both my Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 and really liked them. However, I then saw what some people were able to do with custom wallpapers via apps such as MultiPicture Live Wallpaper.
Unfortunately, that's where I started to run into trouble. Even with the assistance of the wonderful niteowl360, I have been unsuccessful getting MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to display correctly. All attempts to set a wallpaper through the app result in "Screen #: Picture is unavailable. Need to setup or reload."
I have also run into an issue where other wallpaper apps also simply display a black screen when I try to set an uncropped picture as the wallpaper.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and found a way around it. Is it Apex launcher causing problems with uncropped live wallpapers?
(Apologies for not putting this on the Themes and Apps forum, but as a new member, I can't post there.)
Make sure the location to your wallpapers you want set is dead on, even capitals matter. Best to use something like Solid Explorer or ES Explorer to see the exact name of the path, you can even copy and paste it. I had that problem because I had a capital off.

At no point does it ask me to input the location of the wallpaper. When I select "Single Picture", it displays my gallery and I can select any picture on my device (or in Picasa, though I've been trying with one that I know is on my device, because that seems like it would work better).

Hi,
here you have fully working launcher from Defy's older brother Motorola Razr M.
What should I do with it? Follow these steps:
1. unpack zip folder
2. copy Homescreen.apk to system/app via Root Explorer and set permission to RW-R-R, then hit it, and install.
3. Install Widgets and HomeConfig like a usual aps.
4. Reboot, and after that change your launcher to Homescreen forever.
5. Go to settings/developer options then change all three options to associate with animations to x0.5, activate "press back to kill app" and disable adb notification - all these things will help you in your daily use.
Download
__________________________
-Also I recomend you to change CM10 theme to MotoInspired v2.0 (remember to reboot it twice after apply) all thanks to NITRO_100 for his amazing job.
-And to make it more Razr look, change bootanimation to Razr M optimalized by espaciosalter20
-After all steps done, change your wallpaper to default Moto. Razr I included in package
Thanks, mate Could you tell us how well it performs? All the versions posted so far were pretty bad when it came to performance :/
Keen to see how this performs all efforts so far have suffered bad lag and screen res issues.
Last time I used hdpi version of the razr m launcher it was very fast. The one from atrix hd was pretty laggy and buggy.
I'm on sevenrock´s 20130117 build, and must say it, everything works absolutely fine! There are some typical lags as usual on Defy, but its realy worth a try.
There are no screen resolution issues, launcher was resized to fit Defy resolution.

The first step is a bit odd... After copying it to system/app, you cannot install it, that's what the copying was - a manual install. And after that the launcher works fine.
Widgets don't work, though. Will try coping the to system/apps with proper permissions, instead of just installing.
*EDIT* Uninstalled, copied, set RW-R--R-- - still doesn't work. "Problem loading widget." ("The Circles widget is not supported on 3rd party home screens" can be read in the background).
Any help with that? The launcher is pretty neat, and the performance is satisfactory, I think I'll be keeping it Circle Widgets would be a great plus!
*EDIT#2* Just thinking about how well this launcher is going to work on CM10.1 with the 3.0.8 kernel
*EDIT#2* Okay, so I've found the guide somewhere else. The first step is to copy Homescreen.apk to system/apps, set the aforementioned permissions, and then install and let it overwrite the already installed app. Doing that didn't solve the CircleWidgets problem, so I've searched a bit more and found someone saying that it works if you just install Homescreen.apk as a normal app - I did that and Circles really do work
The launcher and the widget are very sweet, I'm keeping the combo! Weather is pretty good, too. But what does the HomeConfig app do?
smoother than any other Atrix HD or Razr launcher
still have some lag
but that clock is so charming
I'll keep it
thanks:good:
I've got to switch back to Trebuchet/Apex/Nova... This pack looks great, but it's killing my phone Launcher, circleWidgets and Weather.apk are all loaded and I feel it's too much for my phone... Moving left to quick settings is always slow, animations of the launcher lag a bit, moving to Favourites in the app drawer lags and widget previews are always slow to show up :/
I will definitely try it out when CM10.1 shows up with the new kernel, that might help
Cheers and thanks for the share, I enjoyed trying it!
