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.
Build number IML74K.CLE5
Kernel Version 3.0.15-AJ_5-14-2012
anewkirk (at) AndroidDevBox #2
SGH-I777_UCLE5_LDB.zip The one that says "Download debloated version here. Stock UCLE5 with replacement kernel & debloated."
I got it from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650948

What? You do understand what a rom is, right? You understand that it determines the entire user interface? How would it not matter?

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.

Huh. I've never actually used the TW ICS launcher because it looked so terrible...always stuck to Apex or Go. It's pretty crappy of AT&T to remove features in a new launcher.
So you think I should use something that doesn't have touch wiz?

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.

It is not the launcher, it is the gallery. The one packed in the original rom does not support it. Switch the gallery from a rom that does, most of the i9100 do and the custom roms here

It seemed to work for me. I threw an aosp gallery into the rom and the scrolling wallpapers worked for me at least.

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.

I'm wondering the same thing mate! Since all of the current ICS ROM's available
for the SGH-i717 right now are based on the official Samsung leak, I'm wondering (hoping) that removing the live wallpaper on the lock screen was a Samsung decision and not an official AOSP decision since there's now been an AOSP like ROM posted for our device (NOTEworthy, I believe it's called). If I find an answer/solution before the download link to the AOSP ROM is up, I'll report back in and let you know.
BUMP
*BUMP* PLEASE!
There are now 4 different ICS ROM's available for us and yet this issue still remains although rather minor it may be. Hopefully someone will have a solution for us soon. I'll keep researching.

Noteworthy is still based off of the stock SAMSUNG leak. It's not actually built from aosp.

I have live wallpaper on my lockscreen. Now I'm not using thr stock lockscreen I'm using Widget Locker, but any LWP I put on my homescreen, be it MultiPicture LWP, Beautiful Weather, or whatever, also shows on my lockscreen. Just my 2cents.
EDIT: I'm running ICS Seraphim First Flight stock btw.
how do you get live wallpaper on widget locker?
i don't get that option anywhere; when I am in the settings, wallpaper, my only choices are for things that will put only pictures/wallpapers, not live ones, on the screen
thanks

I'm assuming he meant you just set the wallpaper as live and it also shows on the lock screen.

I love LWP, but, because of what they do to kill a battery, the novelty wore off pretty quickly.

Nope! Not in the stock TW launcher. The good ol'boys over at Sammys has taken that away a few months ago prior to the US release of their Galaxy series phones. Even with my wife's sgII just prior to the ICS official update, Sammy updated the phones to strip that away.
Now, every 'none' Sammy (Samsung) phone out there does have scrolling wallpaper (HTC, etc.) except for your sgsiii.
It has something to do with the visuals, trying very hard to be different from Apple - which does have scrolling wallpaper.
Also, universal search was STRIPPED away from your phone. See:
http://www.mobilemag.com/2012/07/13/universal-search-removed-from-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/
The fine devices made by HTC has these things your looking for. Also, wonder why the new Nexus 7 tab is made by Asus and not from Sammy?

Yeah try another launcher. Apex and Nova are pretty good.
Does anyone know of an rooted S2 ROM that is pretty much stock Samsung ICS 4.03 that gives me 5 horizontal icons on home screen and 5 x 5 in the apps drawer.
Alternatively any way to achieve this this with an existing rooted ROM?
Don't want to do it through an alternative launcher as I am happy with TW.
Thanks in advance.

TW wont do that out of the box.
Look into TW 4.5 - not sure if it'll work on ICS, but I used it on GB and it allowed you to change the grid size IIRC.
Oh and it's a launcher thing, not a ROM thing.
Otherwise, find other launcher i guess...
Use apex launcher
On home screen touch the menu key
Go apex settings > home screen settings > portrait grid
Change to 5x5 or whatever u want

Thanks for that I have TW4.5 on my current ROM which is running 4.0.3 and have had on previous ROM's but this is the first time I have seen 5 horizontal icons on the home page, had never seen it as an option either.
I will investigate some more as I don't really want to use another launcher.
It's not even funny to post "Rom Challenge " in android development section.
That's my mistake I will withdraw the post. Thanks.

Hey guys, I just got my S3 (I9300) 2 weeks ago and I love it. Very fast. But the thing that concerns me is that sometimes when I'm scrolling through home screens in touchwiz i see micro stutters in the transitions (like semi-lag but not fully lag, hopefully you guys know what I mean).
Is this normal?
I'm a little worried..
I am on the LF2 firmware. Completely stock, haven't rooted or installed any custom ROMS.
Is it the redraw? Theres a fix for that
Or the wallpaper scrolling? Fix for that too
Use the search function. Its really helpful, as is google search

No its not the redraw issue. It happens when i scroll between home screens.

Yes on TW, you can not do much about this. there SOME sammy roms Foxhound is one with the right kernel that got rid of the micro stutter on TW
but its TW not the phone or Rom!!!
most other launchers do not have this problem.

Yes from touchwiz, the launcher that Samsung puts in.
Get nova or apex launcher

I just need to make sure this is not a faulty device/hardware issue.
Yes its the launcher mate. Seen this posted before.
As i said. Try nova launcher

Never noticed any stutter on the home screen scrolling I'm using stock LFB rom with speedmod kernel.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
From my experience, every Android phone I have ever owned has had some degree of micro stuttering, and it has always bugged me. It's also interesting, because some people claim not to be able to perceive any stuttering, while others do, so it seems to be a very subjective matter.
I'm very happy to say, however, that the experimental builds of Jelly Bean have finally stopped 95% of this issue for me. I'm hopeful that once Samsung releases official Jelly Bean binaries we will see the remaining 5% gone too, but either way, I believe it is already smoother than any iOS device out there, which has generally been my baseline.
Edit: Changing launchers does help, but only on the home screen and app draw.
If you are using a live wallpaper try to change it as some LW are laggy.
Also try to check the services that are running in your background through setting-application manager. Maybe you have too many background processes
And lastly wait for jellybean update as this will make the UI interface super smooth cause by project butter of Google

It's no JUST TW. There is still some stuttering, even running CM9. Yes, the amount of stuttering is reduced, but the root cause is still at the heart of Android (pre JB anyway).
In all fairness you are right. But TW is the most noticeable, and moaned about lol

Even SPB shell runs damn smooth-----15 bucks
adw ex launcher, i had no lag - but i liked TW better
im on MiUi now, and again No Lag with the MiUi Launcher.
so yes i understand it happens, i saw the lag in Nova, and Apex, and Trabuchet ( or whatever )
im not saying your wrong, just pointing out that you DONT have to live with it and its NOT the hardware/phone....thats all i was getting at.

Agreed, but the launcher is such a small aspect of the phone that it usually just annoyed me more, as it proved the hardware was capable, but that Android itself was slow!
Anyway, "project butter" has totally changed the experience, and will be a big draw card to iPhone users who were hesitant to switch in the past
Thank you all for your help!!
