im using apex and when i choose a wallpaper, im only allowed to crop the same size picture as a i would on the touchwiz homescreen. how can i use my wider wallpapers (so that my phone looks normal when scrolling or when its in landscape mode) on apex?
i have quickpic insalled, so when i go to set wallpaper it gives me option to edit using quickpic, and it lets you crop properly for apex, i am using apex too, hope that helps...

Hi all,
I got a problem on setting the wallpaper scrolling in ADWLauncher EX / GO Launcher.
In TouchWiz (original launcher), I can use wallpaper scrolling in the desktop.
However, when I use ADWLauncher EX / GO Launcher, wallpaper scrolling is disabled and I can't find any option on setting the wallpaper scrolling.
Could you please advice if wallpaper scrolling is allowed in ADWLauncher EX / GO Launcher? If so, how can I enable the wallpaper scrolling?
Thank you so much.
In ADW, it's under ADWSettings->Screen Preferences, the second checkbox. I haven't used GO Launcher in months so I'm not sure there.
How to change app drawer from horizontal pages to vertically oriented, using the default launcher? I used ADW before, but the default ICS launcher looks fine to me... for now
Also, there's how to increase the number of slots for shortcuts and widgets in home - in the default launcher too?

With stock Trebuchet launcher there really isnt a way, if i were you id look into alternate launchers like NOVA or APEX , i personally use apex though i dont see any options for vertical scrolling through the app drawer
Is there a way to get the desktop screens to be viewed in landscape mode as opposed to portrait mode?

You would need a launcher that supports it. (ADW, Launcher Pro)
I use Go Launcher EX to do this. It looks amazing. The only problem is that the wallpaper does not scroll. I wanted to use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and a cubed transition effect to give my UI a 3D feel, but unfortunately the North American Note does not allow for wallpaper scrolling.
Just a heads up, you will loose the ability to use a lot of TouchWiz widgets if you change launchers.
Hi there
When trying to apply a wallpaper (e.g. a picture taken with my SGS3 camera) to my homescreen I usually have to resize it via the gallery-app. But resizing lets the picture shrink to a default-form that does not cover my 5-homescreens. Therefore I always get some black bars on the right and the left side...
Any idea how I can fix this or how I can keep the gallery app from not resizing my pictures to the default-size that only seems to cover 1 homescreen?

Are u using any other launcher than TW? Or scrollable TW mod? one work around is using "gallery ICS" from market to set your wallpaper
Currently I'm using the Nova Launcher. Is this an issue? Will try to download the ICS Gallery and hope it works well with the Nova Launcher
***Update: Wow, it works. Gallery ICS can resize my pictures and they fit to my 5-Homescreen Nova Launcher.... GREAT!! Many thanks

:victory: The default gallery asks you to crop the picture since TW launcher does not support scrollable wallpapers. However its a problem with other launchers. You can either disable wallpaper scrolling in launcher settings or use this gallery to set full length scrollable wallpapers
I just installed Nova Launcher for a change of pace on my Rezound, and it has altered the way the wallpaper works--even in the stock Sense launcher.
Initially, I had a picture set as my wallpaper in portrait orientation...after installing Nova, that has been cropped down to a landscape orientation, despite the fact that it does not scroll.
Even after uninstalling the launcher the wallpaper does not revert back to its initial behavior. Ideally I'd like to keep the launcher and have portrait wallpaper, but I'd even settle for going back to stock and having this work the way it used to.
Any ideas?
No problems with wallpaper and Nova on my Rezound...using it now.

The problem is that it does not support wallpaper in the Portrait format. I was able to get it to work temporarily with the PicSpeed Wallpapers app, but once Nova Launcher was closed and re-opened it cropped the wallpaper again.
Nobody else has tried to set a wallpaper in portrait with this launcher?
