Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I am been trying out different launchers on my Archos tablet and really like a couple of them. One thing I noticed is the different method of selecting wallpapers compared to my S2. My S2 doesn't seem to crop any pictures and still allows the image to scroll. Looking at the apps it appears to be down to the Touchwiz launcher or the touchwiz wallpaper selector.
Is there a way I can get the launcher or wallpaper selector onto my tablet? Just recently went back to Touchwiz on my S2 because of this. I went to select a new wallpaper while using Nova Launcher and it wanted me crop it again. The wallpaper selector seems to be the best one I've seen so far.
Thanks,
Archos gen8, gen9, gen10..??
Just install a custom ROM on your tablet which has the touchviz UI...
That should do the thing...
Press thanx if I helped. ..

Hey everyone, did a search here and couldn't find anyone else with this issue. I was running stock for the last month and had no issues using a custom wallpaper (1080x960) that I made. Just flashed CM and that same wallpaper is pixelated, even using different launchers (ADW, GO, Zeam, etc.) Any ideas?
I recall people saying it's the Gallery's fault, try setting it as wallpaper with some other application from the Market.
There we go. Used Quickpic. Thanks!
I've been experiencing difficulties adjusting MultiPicture Live wallpaper on my Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1. The problem is Screen 2 wall paper appears on all my screens, I've re-installed this application, updated my android version to 3.2 and restarted my tablet numerous times. However, all these methods failed!! Pleasee it will be highly appreciated if someone can solve this dilemma.
What launcher are you using?
If it's not switching wallpapers and your screen paths are correct then multipicture isn't detecting the change in screens from the launcher.
You may want to look in multipicture's settings to try the "workaround for some home application" setting. If it's on "none" try the honeycomb one.
I'm using ADW Launcher EX, I checked "worked around home application" setting and it was already on Honeycomb.
i was also having this problem, there is an option some where to allow desktop scrolling or something to that extent. im going to sleep right now but ill get back to you tomorrow when i get a chance to pick up my tab.
lol this drove me mad for a week before i could figure out that you need to check the adw settings and allow wallpaper sceprolling

Hi guys,
I just made the move from a galaxy nexus to a galaxy note.
One of the things i've always been able to do on any of my previous android phones was to have a scroll-able wallpaper.
It seems the stock launcher does not have scrolling? I have also tried 3rd part launchers and they scroll, but its a zoomed in picture.
Is this some side effect of the really large resolution?
I've tried a couple of market apps to set wallpapers and they all do the same thing.
If I go back to the stock launcher then back to a third part launcher the image is fine, but not scroll-able.
Maybe this is because the stock launcher does not scroll, so the image in the 3rd party launchers is trying to scroll the smaller image?
There has to be some sort of edit that can make the wallpaper the correct wide size (1280x2400?) vs just 1280x800
±1 same unsolved issue

launcher pro
1000% better.. and lag free
I asked this question before and someone referred me to wallpaper wizardrii. Won't work with factory wallpaper and won't scroll either. Download an HD wallpaper app like picspeed wallpapers, favorite (not save) any of the images you want to use later, then exit. Open wallpaper wizzardrii, click top right button, and and scroll down to "Favorite Picspeed Wallpapers". Choose the pic and play with the settings until it looks right on your screen. I shrink the photo all the way down, then use stretch landscape and it looks pretty damn good.
Launcher pro was not the answer for me.
Wallpaper Set and Save in the market. Simple, small, non-intrusive, and sizes them perfectly.

that's the key (when using a different launcher) Use wallpaper wizardrii with the stretch or crop exact setting, and scroll checked.
I still have not found a way to make it scroll on the TW launcher.
I actually prefer mine not to scroll lol
for launcher pro you have to go into the settings and uncheck the no scroll option

Nice. That seemed to work good. Now if the OS can get the scroll function ebnabled. Though it seems ICS might be on the horizon, so this will all probably be fixed in ICS I would hope...
For scrolling wallpapers the only launcher I have found that works is ashell.It is a pretty good little launcher. It runs pretty light and has some good custom options and transitions. Not gonna blow you away like TSF or SPB launchers, but it also is not 20 bucks

I had this issues with GO Launcher EX. I figured out that in the launcher's Preferences --> Visual Settings --> Backgrounds --> Wallpaper mode : select "Vertical screen" mode instead of "Default mode".
Excuse me if I missed it but I'm interested in getting my wallpaper cropped, panoramic, and scrolling as they did in my Galaxy S2 and Fascinate. I know some people are using different launchers to accomplish this. Which one and are they able to crop the wallpaper properly prior to setting it? I also have one other request. I need my live wallpapers to scroll as well since I have one that slightly rotates in either direction when panning thru my home pages. Why is this feature not included on the Note? I sure do miss it. Thanks for your assistance.

I was wondering this myself. I was quite boggled when I went to make my wallpaper my favorite TRON: Legacy wallpaper with LauncherPro and it was completely wrong.
I can get them to scroll when using ADW and Go launchers but it doesn't change the fact that we have to crop them in a portrait shape instead of a landscape shape like we want. Also, my live wallpaper will not rotate no matter what launcher I use. I'm doubting ICS will give us this option either. Maybe a custom ROM is our only hope Great, back to the custom ROM world of bugs...
Autosize DbD wallpaper set is the app you need to pick up to crop or fit a wallpaper correctly without having it enlarged.
Scrolling wallpaper works for me on the launcher called ashell
Both these apps are free and lightweight

Do you think this will allow live wallpapers to scroll? I have several that move when moving from page to page when used in my galaxy 2 or fascinate
If you use the skyrocket wallpaperpicker.apk (will try and post it up later)
it allows landscape selection.

I have the Telus version (I717) and with any Launcher (Go, Pro, ADW) I get any standard WP to scroll (if you enable it properly in the Launcher). But I cannot get any Live WP to scroll?
I have been reading on this, and there is a lot of confusion, we need to be specific about wich Launcher and what type of WP (Live or Standard) and if standard your image have to be wider then 800 (preferably 1600).
So my understanding is the stock launcher (TouchWiz) does not have the scroll function, it needs to be added with an app or a launcher. I tested that Pro, Go and ADW sroll standard WP fine with the proper settings and image. But so far there is no way to have Live WP to scroll (for those Live WP that have that feature).
1. Can anyone confirm my understanding?
2. And tell me if there is any confirmation of where this limitation is comming from (hardware, OS, Carrier...)?
3. Also is there any other lead or thread about a potential solution?
thanks.
Does anyone have any update on this problem?
I'm using Apex and my Nexus Revamped scrolls fine. Have you tried Apex?
You have to go into Apex Settings -> Homescreen Settings -> Wallpaper scrolling.
Also, some live wallpapers don't scroll for me.

Could you please tell me wich LWP (live wallpaper) do scroll with Apex?
And did you try if they also scroll with other launcher?
Thanks.

Microbes, Nexus Revamped and Beautiful Widgets were the only ones I tested for scroll. I haven't tried other launchers, for I was happy with TWlauncher for the longest time. Sorry!
hyukki,
I just noticed that you are using ICS (Apex require ICS), this problem is related to an apparent limitation of the Galaxy Note with Gingerbread, so it does not apply.
Also I am not sure that Microbes, Nexus Revamped and Beautiful Widgets LWP have a scrolling left/right animation when you scroll left/right on home screen?
Thanks anyway,
PS: If you have a Note, how did you upgraded to ICS?

Ah sorry, I shouldn't have assumed. They all do scroll, just as you would expect the scrolling animation to be. Not really sure how I'd explain it.
As to how I got ICS is from one of the threads about ICS leaks. I downloaded the odin exe and got it done really simply. If you are new to flashing/roms, I suggest reading about the process and reverting, nandroid backups, bootloaders and other important things.
