When I use my own image the wallpaper looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I follow these steps to select a wallpaper:
Click on display
Click on gallery
Select the picture I want
And it goes to this screen
Click done and that's it. When I scroll the home screen I get what you saw in the first pic.
Help!

I have never had this issue have you tried a different wallpaper. Also sounds simple but have you tried rebooting your phone?
If not i had a different glitch and a hard reset did it for me. This also seems to be working for other people with different bugs ? Not ideal i know but probably worth a try?
Here is what i do, as my issue with the way that you are setting is that they dont crop right and end up magnified way to much.
1 - open my gallery
2 - pick my folder, then picture for wallpaper
3 - hit menu and SET PICTURE AS
4 - it will ask you what app you want to set it with(Picspeed is a good to do this with)
5 - will have 3 option, wide, full, and portrait
6 - save it/set it and you should not have that problem anymore i would think
hope this helps, but that PICSPEED app is great for SETTING wallpapers, i dont use it for the wallpapers it offers, just to set them.

I have the same problem. Something is wrong with the samsung gallery app. You can only set pictures for non Scrolling Wallpaper home screen. When I use external app like Zedge to set my wallpaper everything is ok (same picture, with the same resolution).
What Launcher are you using? I use Nova Launcher and Wallpaper Setter and everything works fine for scrolling wallpapers.
As of right now, the only wallpapers will scroll with Touchwiz, are the ones that came with the phone.
I'm using Nova launcher too, I tried the Wallpaper Setter app still no go...
This is the way I'm trying to choose wallpaper:
1. Open Samsung Gallery.
2. Choose one of the pictures folder.
3. Choose a picture.
4. Options>>Set picture as...
5. Then I have the popup in the attached print screen.
6. I choose the third option "Home screen wallpaper"
7. Then I get the crop screen with limitation to the frame you see in the next attached print screen.
EDIT:
Just figured out that I have to choose Wallpaper Setter from the home screen wallpaper option, so it works
Thanks
You are doing it wrong.
Long press on home screen and choose Wallpaper. Then choose Gallery (No Crop). Then go from there.

Try Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Personally I like Nova better, but they both pretty much do the same thing.
Much more control over the look and feel of your device.
I have the same problem as well, no matter what I do I can only set a single portrait for the wallpaper (and then get black clipping when I move). I tried in touchwiz and NovaLauncher (my main launcher)
I only got my phone a few hours ago so I'll wait a few days before flashing a newer rom in case that fixes it (I'm on BLE6)
All I know is Wallpaper Setter solved the problem for me. Just make sure your wallpapers are 1440 x 1280.

Play store. Search for wallpaper setter. Its the 2nd option. Then change the wallpaper as previously noted in this thread by Baldi.
yup same here. I go to gallery and select my saved folder and select a pic to put as wallpaper..the crop thing appears and i lose a lot of the pic. If i select the pics from my camera folder it selects the whole picture
I use two have the same problems when I change the touchwz to Nova launcher
To solve this problem is very easy
1- open the play store and search for an app called quickpic and download it
2- after finishing installing the app run the nove launcher you will still see the same thing things is happening * don't not panic * jk =p
3-open the gallery chose any wallpaper then option button set as wallpaper it will ask you which app to use
Just use quickpic and chose the size of the wallpaper you want and then set
That's all if hope this will be useful
Anyways good luck and I'm sorry for my bad English =)
I have same problem, and all above solutions have been tried, I'm currently on latest Resurection rom, and it seems it is running a 'virtual' higher resolution,i have some 800x400 wallpapers and it gets zoomed in and looks all weird, any one with a developer feedback that can answer the questions to this problem.
And all is working correct in stock rom
I've added some pictures, the correct image as it should be seen on the phone, and one as it looks on the phone

Hello everyone,
A while ago I was reading a thread about the LG Home launcher ported to the EVO (Link). I really liked the launcher so I gave it a try on my Apollo, of course it didn't work as it should have.
So I asked aalopez10 if I could try and make it work for our Apollo's. He replied with a yes.
So I grabbed the latest version of APKTool and went editing.
The launcher
The launcher had 2 problems, the appdrawer (still not fixed) and the dock.
The dock is fixed in this version and I also added the home selector apk which is needed if you want to use that function in the home settings.
Pics and download below.
Pics:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The fixed Dock
Not yet fixed appdrawer(halp?)
The Widgets
I also ported some of the widgets, first of all the Memo widget.
This one is fully working, as far as I'm concerned.
The images or videos may look weird in editing mode, but everything works perfectly.
The Working Memo widget.
The World Clock widget is working after reworking some code.
If you need daylight savings time, touch the little clock next to the city name in the settings menu. (You can get to the settings menu by touching the widget)
The World Clock widget.
The Analog Clock widget hasn't changed from the original rip, but still works on our devices.
You can select 1 of 8 clocks and use them in your widget.
The Calendar widget is also working, but it won't sync with your agenda(I will look into this later).
The Calendar widget.
You can download all of these widgets at the end of the thread.
Downloads
Latest version of the launcher, this version still has the open spacing in the appdrawer categories: Launcher
All the widgets mentioned in this thread: Widgets
PM me if you want to help or if you want to know how I did it or something.
Dympy
Nice efforts.
Tried it
Awesome launcher, thanks for port, i will analyze and I will comment on the bugs.
(Sorry for my english)
Thanks, please do report bugs and I will try to fix them.
Right now working on the appDrawer.
Good work, the launcher runs great exept some bugs:
When I try to change Home selector in Home settings I've got "Force close of LG Home"
In the number screen menu "OK button" is too bigger than "Cancel button"
I can send you 2 links with better quality image of your launcher if you want.
(Sorry for my english, I'm french)

There were two problems, the app icons in the dock (fixed in this version) and the icons in the appdrawer(not yet fixed).
The app icons in the dock were just too big to look good and there was too much empty space in the categories in the appdrawer.
So after half an hour the first problem was fixed, and I want to share it with you guys.

Your first problem will be fixed in my next update, it requires an extra app which I forgot to add. Your second problem isn't that much of a problem, but I'll look into it.

A lot of the little changes I made were in the .smali files. I used Notepad++ to change some of the values so it worked. You have to look for names(they usually give a hint of what they are) and if the value starts with 0x, I found out the numbers behind it are hexadecimal which were open for change. I also had a lot of use on this site, it gave me information about the Icons.
I will post a more detailed log on how I did it (maybe a seperate guide)after I have everything working.

I'm a little bit stuck on the extra free spaces in the appdrawer, but I have not given up.
While I was looking into the code of the launcher, I also looked in to the code of some of the other widgets.
So I made the Memo Widget work.
Link in the first post.

Forgot to mention I added the world clock widget to the widgets pack.
See first post.
I'm still kinda stuck at the empty spacing in the appdrawer, if someone knows how to fix, please PM me.

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a lock screen using the stock gallery app (JB stock samsung, LS8 FOP), but the selector for choice a part of an image is a bit weird (screenshot attached).
The part of image used ad lock screen is the part selected with internal rectangle, but external frame avoid select, for example, the corner of an image.
This behavior doesn't happen on JB Galaxy Note II. Is it a bug?

Hope I'm not wrong, but in my opinion it's seems to be logical, because if u check the lockscreen, u see that u are Ble to add more than one.
This means u have the main and at least camera to the right or one/two/... to the left.
So to have a background there, too, and while scrolling, u set not just the internal part, also the outer one.
Sorry for bad explaining but hope u got it anyway

I don't understand very well your explaining, I think that you are trying to say me that this method allow setup a wallpaper that cover all desktop when I do horizontal scrolling between them ¿?¿?
I've attached an edited version of previous screenshot. In Galaxy Note II, only the green frames are available.
The vertical frame shows the area of image wich will be show when mobile phone is vertical (in lockscreen or in desktop mode). The horizontal frame shows the area of image wich will be show when mobile phone is horizontal (in desktop mode, it allow scrolling between desktops if you have many of them). That is right.
But the external frame (remarked in orange) avoids, for example, include the cross I've painted in the corner of image in your lock screen. This not happen on Galaxy Note II...
Yep that's what I wanted to say
Sorry was a tired when I wrote...
Ok I see what u mean, but did u try to add a second and third screen and looked if the "red parts" also visible?
If yes it's like I meant but anyway bad shown in 'select wallpaper'
Otherwise u r wrong and it's a kind of senseless or maybe a bug...

I already have added 3 desktop screen, but behaviour is same with 3 or 7 screens.
In any case, I'm trying to setup a lock screen, not a wallpaper. I think that horizontal frame only should be appear when I select a wallpaper for desktop, not for lock screen, because the lock screen is always vertical and it only shows the part of image included in vertical frame selector. That wouldn't be a big problem if I can put the vertical frame in any corner of image, but this is the problem, external frame avoids this.
With this method is imposible select the corner of an image for used it as lock screen or wallpaper.
Thank you for your help.
I was using Nova Launcher. I've tried to use TouchWiz stock launcher and the problem is same, but while ToucWiz is used, the frame format change a bit (see the attached screenshot). As you can see, now the external frame is closest to internal vertical/horizontal frames.
This selector keep its new format until a few minutes after start to use Nova Launcher again (I think that until some Touchwiz references are remove from memory).
Then, we have a stupid buggy selector wich change its format depending of active launcher.... :-/

Yeah, what is it that you wanna do?
You were saying something like the launcher changes the image? or something.
That's how Samsung screen selector system is right now. It's messed up due to the screen scrolling. Use wallpaper wizardrii to set a non scrolling wallpaper and then you'll be able to select the whole image
The thread us about a bug in the wallpaper selector.
If you have, for example, a photo in portrait mode and want to use it as a lock screen photo then you can't use the whole image as you could in ICS (AFAIK. I was using Apex Launcher in ICS). The outer squared frame doesn't let you use the portrait picture and you get stuck only with the inner part of the photo(looks like zooming the image).
And yes, I'm having this issue too... Was hoping for a fix in latest releases and Spain OTA update... In vain...

Okay, I checked it out. Definetly right, It only takes the medium frame.
Now, why don't you try editing that image, so the whole pic fits the frame?

I am having the same problem.
The hell of it is, I downloaded the free version and it was working fine. After I paid it worked fine as well, then it stopped.
I didn't notice the "it has problems with the Galaxy series" warning until after I paid - even then I didn't think it was a big deal because it was working at that point.
I have the Sprint GS3, Carbon 1.3, Nova Prime.
It would be great if it could work again.

I'm thinking you have to cut the image up and set the individual screens, which does still work. Just not the one piece wallpaper.
My problem is not scrolling.
It is that individual desktop areas display only one picture, despite having set individual pictures for each desktop.
I realize this is different than the original poster's problem of the loss of scrolling. I don't think MPW does scrolling on a single image, though. I thought the point was many images.

That is weird indeed. MPW allows me to set the individual pictures for each screen and that does work. However, it is also supposed to allow you to also do one single picture across all the screens which I know Samsung had disabled but I know certain ROMs have the wallpaper scrolling in effect.
It's possible it has something to do with Nova as well. When I first loaded the rom onto my Note 2, I had the wallpaper scroll and had turned it off because it was rather annoying me at the time, now it no longer works, no matter what I do or what options I choose.
Solved. Download Wallpaper Setter. Worked like a charm
I'm trying my darndesnt to change my lock screen wallpaper on nexus 4. Multipicture and Nova Launcher wallpaper function do not work the same when it comes to crops. So annoying.
If I could change my wallpaper via adb or something that would be awesome, or if at least Multipicture would crop the same way Nova or Wallpaper setter crops I'd at least be somewhat happy.
Don't want a replacement lock screen, just want to change a lock screen wallpaper!
If it makes you feel any better. I changed from multipicture to a static wallpaper, and the app stopped working for me completely. Can't get the screens to change or scroll.
[Edit] I was finally able to get it. I ended up having to remove the cache and then it started working like a charm.

When i go to set wallpaper on my xperia z 6603 I don't have the option to use MPLW for some reason :S

hy.you use the go launcher and everything will work (SG note 2)
Meh.. I have the same problem with MP Live. I had it installed for a few weeks but just got around to trying it yesterday. I couldn't specify different wallpapers for each home page screen. gave up and uninstalled it.
But it left my main home screen animated wallpaper running across all 6 homescreens whereas before the other 5 screens had a static image.
hmmm..annoying..can't seem to fix it !
I had done a TWRP full system (all 7 partitions) backup 2 days previously so I thought why not restore the lot - that should guarantee a fix !
So I did, but no fix !!! Go figure !
Can anyone explain that ?
My problem with Multipicture Live Wallpaper was that it just couldn't apply. Since I have set Nova Launcher to Scrolling Wallpaper "enabled" everything is being buttery smooth =)
Hope it helps
P.S. Look at that video it helps understanding the options of the apk : http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BUwpoDmvUe8#t=477
Yeah what I think would fix all of your guys problems is you have to have 'Wallpaper Scrolling' ENABLED (FORCED, IF NECESSARY) in your launcher application (Nova, Apex, Go, ETC) and make sure it is working on ONE wallpaper before trying it with the multi-picture live wallpaper app... ALSO i was having a similar issue where even after I did that, it never worked... So here's multiple solutions to try:
1. Make sure Wallpaper Scrolling is ENABLED and WORKING in launcher
2. Make sure you have NO COMMON PICTURE SETTINGS in multipicture live wallpaper, if you are not sure how to reset this, just go and FORCE STOP and CLEAR APP DATA in manage apps
3. Set options for however many screens you have... for example if you have 3 Home screens make sure in your M.P.L.W. app you have added 3 screen settings, and set them all seperately.
4. It might be the reolusition of the photo (or ONE of the photos) you are trying to apply... since this app does not come with any cropping, editing function, etc unfortunately, you need to make sure all wallpapers are compatible with your phones resolution.
5. last, but not least, make sure that the application is located on PHONE and not on your SD CARD in manage apps
If you have done ALL OF THESE and it is still not working... I dont know what else to tell you. Look for youtube videos/etc... ?? anyway, I HOPE THIS HELPS Happy androiding. :good:
I'm new to RR, and as such I have a few questions that I can't seem to find answers for anywhere else. And since I can't post in the dev forums, I'll try my luck here.
1. How do I delete additional homescreens, and stay with just one?
2. .. and how do I do the same for my lockscreen? (multiple lock/home screens and camera access before entering pin is not wanted, plus it messes with my wallpapers ).
3. I can't seem to add more than 16 apps to a folder on my homescreen. Is this a limit that is adjustable?
Thanks in advance.
Did you look for any answers in the Resurrection thread? Used the search function in that thread?

Naturally.
1. What launcher are you using? If you're using the Touchwiz launcher you can just press left button, which brings up a menu where you can edit the homescreen.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

2. multiple lock/home screens? Take a look at Settings > Lockscreen.

TW launcher?..
I can only chose between "launcher" (assuming Apex. Might be wrong though) and Nova Launcher. I'm using the first, and do not have that option.
When pressing the menu button, I can only select Wallpaper, Manage apps, and System settings.
And I've been all the way through settings, security, device settings, resurrection tools, etc. to find a way to decrease the amount of screens, but without any luck.

Doh! Forgot the rom, you don't have a TW rom. :silly:
I recommend using Nova Launcher. Press the same button as shown in the picture, then go to Nova Settings > Desktop > Home Screens. There you can add or delete homescreens.
And for the lockscreen. Rom Control > Lockscreen? Under Pie Control.

No luck. Was the first place I tried. And I'm not using Pie either.

Can you be more specific about what's wrong with your lockscreen? Maybe put up a screenshot?

Okay. It seems that Nova solved my problems with maximum number of apps in a folder, and using a single homescreen.
Now I would like to have single lockscreen as well. Right now I have 3 lockscreens - the right one of them being camera controls, and I would like to just have a single screen, where the only option is to enter the security pin code. No app launching without entering the pin.
I'll see if I can add a screenshot.
I'ts hard to screenshot, but as you might see from the two attachments, there's the option of scrolling right (and left) from the lockscreen, into two separate screens - the rightmost being the camera controls (slightly visible in one of the screenshots).
I'd just like to remove the extra screens, remove the camera access, in fact - remove everything besides one single screen where all you can do is enter the security pin.
Does that make sense?
Try this.
In the lockscreen, drag your finger down from the default clock. You'd enter the Android 4.2.1 lockscreen widgets full-screen view;
Press and hold the individual screen, and drag it up to 'X Remove';

Only problem is... it doesn't work.
When I'm long-pressing the individual lockscreen, I can only add widgets, not delete anything.
EDIT: Correction. I can delete the center screen, thereby having only two screens left. But I can't seem to get rid of the right screen (fullscreen camera widget/app).
What am I doing wrong?
Hi mates!
Is this topic still alive ? I've got a question too. Maybe 2 or 4, in fact))
1) Cannot enable transparent notification bar... Why ?
2) How to center the clock on the lock screen ?
3) How to force the list of settings to fill the whole screen width ?
4) Cannot add the sound profiles to the notification drawer

Well, my V30 arrived today and I really like this phone. I'm not new to LG phones and have dealt with this before but I can't install the app drawer icon on the home page without messing up my new setup and losing a lot of apps and pages. Is there a workaround for this that any of you know about? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Install Nova launcher, make app drawer, "import" the other launcher settings. LG in this case.
(Next time don't set up all your other shortcuts and stuff until you get your app drawer...
But Nova launcher can import your current configuration and still have an app drawer.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. Lesson learned I guess. I have never used a launcher before but I have only heard good things about the Nova launcher. I guess I will give it a try. I wonder why LG set the app drawer icon/function up like that in the first place?

LG gives choice of "Home" or "Home + App Drawer". But Home is the default. You have to choose the other when setting up...
Apple doesn't give iPhone users an app drawer because they're too probably stupid to find it? Google keeps trying to make Android be like iPhone (clock on the left where notifications go, removing headphone jack, etc) and it seems to have carried over to LG.
Well, since my last post, I installed Nova Launcher Prime and I basically had to start over anyway but it was a breeze having the app drawer right there. I am now exploring all of the settings within the launcher and having a ball doing so. Thanks for the suggestion. :good::good:

Use the cube rotation -- it's cool. Use the reverse parallax on wallpaper.

The cube rotation is cool. Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure about what the wallpaper thing does though. I set it on reverse but I did not see any change. I am using a LG theme called "Lightwave" and it has a live wallpaper that looks like an aurora. I like it. I found a lot of stuff on Nova launcher on YouTube. It's going to be a blast exploring it.
Also on Nova, you can save/backup your homescreen settings, so if something goes wrong you can simply reload it...

Yeah, the reverse parallax wallpaper effect doesn't work on live wallpapers. I see on new Nova they dropped the "parallax" name and only call it "reverse".
Basically causes the wallpaper in the background to move in the opposite direction of your desktop rotation, so the movement effect is magnified.

One other tip. Down in Advanced on Home Screen, I have my layouts locked. If I want to change something (add an icon, move an icon, edit a folder name), I can long press on empty space on any of the desktop screens and it will temporarily unlock to allow me to make changes. Otherwise you will accidentally move icons, widgets. I do this for my wife, sister, mother, friends also. Saves a lot of tech support phone calls! After you make the changes, within 30 seconds the layout will re-lock.
Also, you can export your Nova configuration to save elsewhere for safekeeping. Send to Gmail, upload to Google Drive, other destinations. If you wipe your phone, you can then download it and "import". Even helps if you change devices, to move your layout to different phone.

Another tip: I make my app drawer have a black background, so there's obvious difference between my desktop and app drawer.

OK, bonus tip. Custom Icon packs. If you've not messed with that yet you are in for real treat. You download, install, and then in Nova Launcher "Look & Feel" Settings section, you apply via dropdown menu in Icon style. (For my own personal reasons, I do NOT have the "Normalize Icon Size" box checked.)
GOOGLE PLAY ICON PACKS
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=icon pack&c=apps&hl=en_US
These are custom icon packs. Some are free with no ads, some cost money, some are free but with ads (which may not appear if you have an ad blocker?). Besides wallpaper, you can totally change the look of your phone with custom icon pack.
I found this one when I had a previous device and keep using it. Has over 3,700 icons:
MyUI 5 - Icon Pack

But you can also find many esoteric and radical looking packs to be totally different. Like this one:
LineX Icon Pack

Not my taste, but others may love it!
But tons in between the two extremes to experiment with!

Thanks for that tip. I will be using that feature for sure.
@ChazzMatt, Thanks for all of this information and the icon pack information. The LineX icons are cool. I have seen some of these on YT and I am interested. On the reverse feature, OK, I now know what you were referring to. I will be using that some too I am sure.
One thing I have noticed and you might know a fix for. My phone has lost the "Knock On and Off" function even though I have it turned on. Any ideas on that? Thanks again for your help with Nova.

Thanks for the tip but that setting as far as using the double knock, only lets me shut down the screen and then I can't use a double knock to turn the screen back on. I can't even use the fingerprint option as well. Nova needs a fix for that.
when using nova to turn off screen double tap works, but you cant doubel tap from anywhere on the screen.
Double Tap on the time (upper right ccorner of you screen) and the screen will turn off. Thats the best and only way to double tap screen off using Nova
oops your question was screen on wih double tap, i have nova and have double tap screen on in setting of the phone (not nova) and the double tap work to turn on screen from anywhere on the off screen, then i use fouble tap on the time to turn screen off.
check you device setting make sure double tap is on.
@jaygo444, Thanks for the information and yes, I do have the double tap feature turned on in the phone settings. I kind of miss having the tap on feature though.
OK, I have a question about icon packs. If I install one and decide to use it with Nova launcher, will it affect my screen icon setup or will it just replace the icons I already have and leave my layout as it is?

It will leave the layout but just convert the icons to the new look.
If the icon pack itself asks to make changes, say no. You're only applying the icon look through Nova Settings.

I've used Nova launcher for years. However I'm liking the LG launcher right now. You have a few options for home screen.
No need for the app drawer icon since you can slide up from the bottom to get into the app drawer.
The other option which is nice is the IOS way to do it. Flipping through screens to get the app you like.
Also I bought zone launcher so that way I can select a few apps I use at time to time without going into the app drawer. The free version is enough but I like to support the devs.
