I thought those launchers would support custom scrolling wallpaper, when I select the wallpaper from gallery, it asks me to crop it to the size of a static wallpaper. Is there any way to use a custom wallpaper as scrolling wallpaper?
Yes. You need to use another app besides the stock gallery. I have used wallbase (tons of great free hd wallpapers) or you can use something like quickpic (3rd party gallery). If you use the 3rd party gallery just go to set the wallpaper through setting like normal but it should now ask which app to use, select the 3rd party app (eg. Quickpic)

Zedge works also.

ADW Ex is 3.1 ready. I still like the new honeycomb launcher for now though myself.

good to know that it works on 3.1. I would guess the home replacement app is not ready for 3.1 yet.
launch pro was mentioned somewhere in the forum ...another home app ...

using Launcher Pro and it works great, but not optimized for tablet yet.
I'm currently using ADW Launcher EX. I've gotten better performance from it than the stock launcher. Can't wait for the next release as it should have better integration with Honeycomb.
i never used launch pro , why i have an impression that the app allows you to customerize widget rather than being a home app ..

It lets you adjust the widget size if you purchase the full version, but it's mainly meant as a replacement home.
I use ADW EX after trying Launcher Pro which had a number of FC's. Adw flies on my GT but LP's widgets look great on the big screen. Just a bit of advice if you use a custom launcher is set the orientation to portrait or landscape and set it the way you want. The screens don't transition well if you use large widgets which I do.

I use LauncherPro primarily because of its great looking widgets and widget resizing. Honeycomb's resizing features only work with certain widgets specifically designed to support it. LauncherPro will resize any widget.
The only thing I don't like about LauncherPro is its app drawer, but for that, I have a shortcut to an activity that points to the native home screen. I haven't been able to locate the specific command to automatically launch its app drawer, but just getting to the home screen is a start. In theory, you could launch any replacement home screen's app drawer.
I want app which will change the wallpaper at regular interval. I guess I have seen such a app but now m not remembering its name.
And one more thing it should be usable with go launcher

Install this and never look back
For some reason I have to crop all the pics to make them my wallpaper. But what I don't understand is why can't I make my wallpapers look like they did stock. My wallpapers are too zoomed in. I can't capture the true beauty of this screen..... Can anyone help me understand and/or help me find some beautiful wallpapers??

The International Note's wallpaper select tool is far better than the crippled PoS on the AT&T Note. I recommend an app called 'Wallpaper Wizardrii' which allows you to set and manipulate any image for a wallpaper. I've used it for a long time and it's an absolute godsend!
Agreed with juzz86. Use wallpaper wizardrii and if you're using a scrolling wallpaper set it to "stretch landscape".

I use quickpic as a gallery replacement app, much better, you can set wallpapers properly with that too.
Thanks guys I'll be sure to check them out.
Are you Noteworthy??
@JayFreshly
Another quickpic recommendation, been working well, both on GB and ICS
My wish is that someone would make a Screen Lock App and maybe some has, if not I think this a great idea, of course.
1. It must show any missed income calls, messages and emails.
2. Time and weather.
3. Circle when long pressed to swipe outside of circle to open.
4. Customizable App selection; the ability to add a few apps around the circle to choose from, but if not chosen swipe outside of the circle to opens.
5. Select a random picture everytime you turn on your phone from a directory of your choice.
I think that's a tall order my friend, but you can try Widget Locked and see if you get some or all of those things you're looking for...

Yes, WidgetLocker is great. It allows to add homescreen widgets on it. Plus, it has many themes to launch apps (ICS, Sense, iPhone).
I'd like to add more: Install "Tesla Unread" to get missed call, SMS and Gmail counts.
Yeah, Widget Locker pretty much does all of that minus Live Picture wallpaper.
Try Go Locker from Play Store

You'll have to install Go Launcher EX to use it. Just to tweak lock screen usability, changing home launcher is an overkill..
I'm gonna suggest, as others here have, Widget Locker. I've always been running widget locker since I first had an android phone and have never used anything else because it does the job perfectly. Obviously, it's best feature is the customization available for it. Every few days I'm changing the layout of my lockscreen, just so it's something new

You could try using widget locker combined with minimalistic text integrated with tasker. That might give you what you want.

Do u guys know what the best size/resolution for the lock screen wallpaper is? I can't get it right and my high res pictures end up looking distorted... Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

Yea but when i crop a wallpaper with the native resolution it comes out distorted....

What are you setting it with?
The stock gallery... sucks, use quikpic, don't uninstall or freeze the stock gallery you need it to be able to set the lock screen wallpaper with quikpic...if it's not present that option won't appear in quikpic

Actually i use gallery 3d so i don't freeze that app.... Quickpik is what i am using to set it... I just can't seem to get.that hd looking quality even when i use large pics that are 1600x1200... I figure.their is a resolution that would allow you the perfect quality with the CEO box expanded fully.. U know what i mean?
