I thought I saw a mod around here for a scrolling wallpaper on stock tw launcher. But for the life of me I can't find it now, is there one? Even on other launchers the cropping is still the same, which makes scrolling pretty dumb.

I miss both of these. I really don't understand why HTC couldn't make the wallpaper scroll. The 3D widgets are cool, but not necessary. You could always use ADW Launcher but then you'll have two launchers running at once. I've seen some, but not significant battery drain from running ADW on top of Sense.
I think they didn't do wallpaper scrolling bc of the carousel feature since it spins pretty fast it'll that couple with wallpaper scrolling will cause it to lag, idk just my thought
But they could've made the wallpaper stop scrolling when you start the carousel.
As powerful as the Atrix is, it's never run live wallpapers well for me. The wallpapers themselves aren't laggy, but they cause other things to slow down.
With the stock launcher, moving between homescreens is very laggy.
With ADW EX, moving between homescreens is extremely laggy.
With LauncherPro, moving between homescreens is fluid but the app drawer is laggy.
I've tried overclocking, but it made zero difference. Any suggestions?

I read through that thread and didn't get the answer I was looking for. It's been over 4 months since the last post so I figured it was ok to ask again to see if anyone has figured out a way to make things run smoother. Thanks for your very helpful response anyway.
I find this widget selection screen clumsy and ugly in Touchwiz, it's much better in GolacherEX and other launchers.
Anyone know how to make it display widgets list alike, like it was before?

long press home screen, select widgets from menu....job done
Thats exactly how widgets look when i do that, this was like this on SGS3Touchwiz, Galaxy S2 had this list alike widget list, also had mod that same widgets were grouped together.

If you need stock TW launcher then I think you need to get used to it. This is how stock ICS launcher handles widgets and apparantly sammy didn't bother changing it.. But I kinda like it.
Lots of things sammy dont think, they should have listen the users more. Nova is ok, Golauncher seems better, but i stick with stock till someone makes new hacked version of this touchwiz.
I really like how stock launcher change pages, havent seen so cool looking on any launchers even they have more options to change it.

I do like TW launcher but what bugs me a lot is the way TW launcher create folder. Samsung choose to use ICS style on the widgets but decided not to use ICS style on adding folder. Doesn't make any sense. :banghead:

Maybe use apex launcher and then choose touchwiz theme as design? Dunno if that fits all your needs though
I use sslauncher and hitting the menu key gives the traditional.Samsung options, like settings / wallpaper and long press the screen gives options for Widgets etc.

Homescreen transition animation will never be the same
And of course the clock widget will be gone. So not fit to my need.

Is there a way to fixate the wallpaper in TW launcher?
I just want to have non moving wallpaper even tho I scroll over the launcher pages.
I tried to change the picture size and all, but the wallpaper still moves along with the pages..
Tw launcher.? I never heard of that..but. almost all the launchers, there should be a setting for scrolling wallpaper. I believe it is in screen settings.
This is my signature....
I would assume he means stock touch wiz launcher..

I use holo launcher you can turn off scrolling.

Download simple wallpaper from the play store. It will fixate the wallpaper.
Which is better?
Go. Hands down the smoothest. Although battery sucker.

I would say Nova,but the new Beta version.
It's crazy fast (Set the Scroll Speed and Animation speed to "faster then light"),transparent statusbar support (the only launcher that actually made my statusbar transparent ) and has a Kit Kat look. Tons of customization. What more do you need ?
I have 2 launchers for you. First of all is Apex Launcher it's smooth and faster and the second is KitKat Launcher it's great to live KitKat experience.

For me the best is Action Laucher

Haha oh dear here we go again... just go with Apex its light on memory and has all the functions you need.
Plus this belongs in Q&A (just for future reference)

I can't believe you're discussing this...it's all matter of taste, and that's very individual. After all, all of them are free on GPlay, so try it, only you know what suits you best, and it cost nothing.
waking the dead is my thing!
any way....I have been using go launcher. found on accident. It is really neat and I am just starting to understand it fully. Now Im seeing here that apex may take up less memory?

I had Apex.. Once. Then I downloaded Nova Launcher beta and I´m still using it No regrets about it, pretty smooth and easy launcher.
Just my opinion
You should try adw launcher. It is the only one I found that has a categorized app drawer. Makes things soo much more organized. And you can just put folder-like category shortcuts on your homescreen for easy access.
Beautyful transition-effects, great dock customisations... Gove it a try, if you are looking for a new favorite launcher.

Alot of users still see ADW as the boring launcher they used whilst on Froyo or gingerbread, as apex is for ICS

Is there a launcher that allows alphabetical listing in the app drawer like in the samsung touchwiz?
I just installed holo laucher as the first since I bought my GN3 last year. it looks smooth and very customizable as I can finally change the grid's density from 4x4 to more icons in the home screen but I miss that one column list like app drawer from touchwiz
ADW .
ADW launcher EX pro is the best launcher i found for me
it is really awesome , just try it
fast , easy , have a lot of customizations

I installed Nova and I must say I'm pretty impressed so far. I can configure the apps drawer in an alphabetical list style and much more.
One thing I find a little disappointing but that seems to be the same problem for all launchers is that the non resizable widgets are screwed up if I add them to the home screen when the grid size is changed to 5x5 or more
