[Q] Multipicture Live Wallpaper Problems? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded MultiPicure Live Wallpaper, and it doesn't work as far as scrolling on my note 2. I am using Nova Launcher and Jelly Beans Build 10 rom. It keeps repeating the same image over and over each screen. I believe I am doing all of the correct settings, so please let me know if I am not.

I am having the same problem.
The hell of it is, I downloaded the free version and it was working fine. After I paid it worked fine as well, then it stopped.
I didn't notice the "it has problems with the Galaxy series" warning until after I paid - even then I didn't think it was a big deal because it was working at that point.
I have the Sprint GS3, Carbon 1.3, Nova Prime.
It would be great if it could work again.

I'm thinking you have to cut the image up and set the individual screens, which does still work. Just not the one piece wallpaper.

My problem is not scrolling.
It is that individual desktop areas display only one picture, despite having set individual pictures for each desktop.
I realize this is different than the original poster's problem of the loss of scrolling. I don't think MPW does scrolling on a single image, though. I thought the point was many images.

That is weird indeed. MPW allows me to set the individual pictures for each screen and that does work. However, it is also supposed to allow you to also do one single picture across all the screens which I know Samsung had disabled but I know certain ROMs have the wallpaper scrolling in effect.
It's possible it has something to do with Nova as well. When I first loaded the rom onto my Note 2, I had the wallpaper scroll and had turned it off because it was rather annoying me at the time, now it no longer works, no matter what I do or what options I choose.

Solved. Download Wallpaper Setter. Worked like a charm

I'm trying my darndesnt to change my lock screen wallpaper on nexus 4. Multipicture and Nova Launcher wallpaper function do not work the same when it comes to crops. So annoying.
If I could change my wallpaper via adb or something that would be awesome, or if at least Multipicture would crop the same way Nova or Wallpaper setter crops I'd at least be somewhat happy.
Don't want a replacement lock screen, just want to change a lock screen wallpaper!

If it makes you feel any better. I changed from multipicture to a static wallpaper, and the app stopped working for me completely. Can't get the screens to change or scroll.
[Edit] I was finally able to get it. I ended up having to remove the cache and then it started working like a charm.

Cant launche MPLW :/
When i go to set wallpaper on my xperia z 6603 I don't have the option to use MPLW for some reason :S
only quickpic, ES3 and Xperia wallpaper..
Maybe I've deleted the .apk file for live wallpaper ? i dont know.. has any one experienced the same problem ?
I use Nova launcher btw.

hy.you use the go launcher and everything will work (SG note 2)

Meh.. I have the same problem with MP Live. I had it installed for a few weeks but just got around to trying it yesterday. I couldn't specify different wallpapers for each home page screen. gave up and uninstalled it.
But it left my main home screen animated wallpaper running across all 6 homescreens whereas before the other 5 screens had a static image.
hmmm..annoying..can't seem to fix it !
I had done a TWRP full system (all 7 partitions) backup 2 days previously so I thought why not restore the lot - that should guarantee a fix !
So I did, but no fix !!! Go figure !
Can anyone explain that ?

My problem with Multipicture Live Wallpaper was that it just couldn't apply. Since I have set Nova Launcher to Scrolling Wallpaper "enabled" everything is being buttery smooth =)
Hope it helps
P.S. Look at that video it helps understanding the options of the apk : http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BUwpoDmvUe8#t=477

Yeah what I think would fix all of your guys problems is you have to have 'Wallpaper Scrolling' ENABLED (FORCED, IF NECESSARY) in your launcher application (Nova, Apex, Go, ETC) and make sure it is working on ONE wallpaper before trying it with the multi-picture live wallpaper app... ALSO i was having a similar issue where even after I did that, it never worked... So here's multiple solutions to try:
1. Make sure Wallpaper Scrolling is ENABLED and WORKING in launcher
2. Make sure you have NO COMMON PICTURE SETTINGS in multipicture live wallpaper, if you are not sure how to reset this, just go and FORCE STOP and CLEAR APP DATA in manage apps
3. Set options for however many screens you have... for example if you have 3 Home screens make sure in your M.P.L.W. app you have added 3 screen settings, and set them all seperately.
4. It might be the reolusition of the photo (or ONE of the photos) you are trying to apply... since this app does not come with any cropping, editing function, etc unfortunately, you need to make sure all wallpapers are compatible with your phones resolution.
5. last, but not least, make sure that the application is located on PHONE and not on your SD CARD in manage apps
If you have done ALL OF THESE and it is still not working... I dont know what else to tell you. Look for youtube videos/etc... ?? anyway, I HOPE THIS HELPS Happy androiding. :good:

ADW Ex Hidden Dockbar ?

This may be in wrong forum
Foreward
have done a bit of googling to no avail re this issue ~
anyone here in the community an ADW Launcher user? If so, what am i missing in terms of switching to the hidden Dock bar? checked settings out, swiped over the Dockbar in every whichaway, cleared data / reviewed logcats, all several times etc (as one should do before starting a thread here lol). Developer's email is non-functional lol. I must be missing something. Anyone else having similar results

Whats wrong with your posts? There is text (on top of) overwriting text, hard to read
The hidden dock bar was removed from adw ex (and I would guess regular adw as well) in the last update. I wish the dev would bring it back, but according to him the vast majority of users prefer the single dock bar setup he has gone to...

I really could not stand the hidden dock bar... I kept bringing it up on accident. I believe there was an option in the last version that had it though that allowed for it to be disabled? I see no reason why it should not be included, but I would prefer it be disabled by default.

I can definitely respect your opinion sir!!!! I wish he would make the same provisions as i have been a long time ADW user, and big fan, and i sure miss using it. i personally loved the hidden dockbar, and i would not mind one bit enabling it in the settings, but for Christ's sakes if it ain't broke brother don't fix the s$#t.
Is this the option you're referring to?

So the dock was hidden and you had to use a gesture to make it appear or it was hidden as in disabled?
Hidden as it is here ...
No sir, if you read the OP well you'll see what i am missing is the ability to chose from the "Main" Dock & the hidden dock. And the ability to transition from one to the other. Not to make the dock dissappear altogether.
Sorry.
Haven't used ADW enough to know that was a feature.
No worries mate

Amplified, I have a semi-workaround at the moment. I am using circle launcher as a hidden dock for the apps I used to put in ADW hidden dock. I keep a pretty clean home screen, so I set it up dead center of the screen, and set a custom transparent icon for the launcher. Closed, there is nothing visible, but one tap to open and I have about 14 apps right there. You might be able to do similar with wave launcher as well, but I haven't messed with that in quite a while...

Thanks brother. Very kind of you to offer a suggestion of that sort.
Cheers!
I miss the hidden dock too...
I'm a new user of EX, since the 10c discount.
But because of that kind of things, I still don't have set any of the as "default" when I hit the home button...
and worst.. most of the time I'm using ADW, not Ex.. thinking "come on jump to EX"... and when I try.. it's to discover there is no hidden dock anymore...
Yes, I know, nobody cares...
I second using Circle Launcher or Wave as an alternative. I saw this hidden dock feature in the video and thought it might replace wave launcher for me, and then was going crazy thinking I was missing something in settings. Too bad he didn't leave it as an option and just include a disable possibility.
Anyway, I have used circle launcher on my main homescreen much in the same way as described by the other member. But I also use Wave launcher and what's great about it is that it is accessible from any screen even when you have another app open. (If you use WidgetLocker as your lockscreen, then it's even accessible on that.) And it's entirely invisible and unlike Circle launcher no one could even accidentally discover it if they didn't know the gesture you set up for it.
Anyway, maybe the hidden bar will show back up as something you can enable or disable.
I love Wave Launcher in conjunction with Launcher Pro. I absolutely love being able to scroll through three sets of five icon docks at the bottom of any one of my home screens. I guess this is why we all love Android, there's pretty much something for everyone as far as customizations go.

What am I doing wrong? v.wallpaper

When I use my own image the wallpaper looks like this

I follow these steps to select a wallpaper:
Click on display
Click on gallery
Select the picture I want
And it goes to this screen
Click done and that's it. When I scroll the home screen I get what you saw in the first pic.

I have never had this issue have you tried a different wallpaper. Also sounds simple but have you tried rebooting your phone?
If not i had a different glitch and a hard reset did it for me. This also seems to be working for other people with different bugs ? Not ideal i know but probably worth a try?
Here is what i do, as my issue with the way that you are setting is that they dont crop right and end up magnified way to much.
1 - open my gallery
2 - pick my folder, then picture for wallpaper
3 - hit menu and SET PICTURE AS
4 - it will ask you what app you want to set it with(Picspeed is a good to do this with)
5 - will have 3 option, wide, full, and portrait
6 - save it/set it and you should not have that problem anymore i would think
hope this helps, but that PICSPEED app is great for SETTING wallpapers, i dont use it for the wallpapers it offers, just to set them.

I have the same problem. Something is wrong with the samsung gallery app. You can only set pictures for non Scrolling Wallpaper home screen. When I use external app like Zedge to set my wallpaper everything is ok (same picture, with the same resolution).
What Launcher are you using? I use Nova Launcher and Wallpaper Setter and everything works fine for scrolling wallpapers.
As of right now, the only wallpapers will scroll with Touchwiz, are the ones that came with the phone.
I'm using Nova launcher too, I tried the Wallpaper Setter app still no go...
This is the way I'm trying to choose wallpaper:
1. Open Samsung Gallery.
2. Choose one of the pictures folder.
3. Choose a picture.
4. Options>>Set picture as...
5. Then I have the popup in the attached print screen.
6. I choose the third option "Home screen wallpaper"
7. Then I get the crop screen with limitation to the frame you see in the next attached print screen.
EDIT:
Just figured out that I have to choose Wallpaper Setter from the home screen wallpaper option, so it works
Thanks
You are doing it wrong.
Long press on home screen and choose Wallpaper. Then choose Gallery (No Crop). Then go from there.

Try Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Personally I like Nova better, but they both pretty much do the same thing.
Much more control over the look and feel of your device.
I have the same problem as well, no matter what I do I can only set a single portrait for the wallpaper (and then get black clipping when I move). I tried in touchwiz and NovaLauncher (my main launcher)
I only got my phone a few hours ago so I'll wait a few days before flashing a newer rom in case that fixes it (I'm on BLE6)
All I know is Wallpaper Setter solved the problem for me. Just make sure your wallpapers are 1440 x 1280.

Play store. Search for wallpaper setter. Its the 2nd option. Then change the wallpaper as previously noted in this thread by Baldi.
yup same here. I go to gallery and select my saved folder and select a pic to put as wallpaper..the crop thing appears and i lose a lot of the pic. If i select the pics from my camera folder it selects the whole picture
I use two have the same problems when I change the touchwz to Nova launcher
To solve this problem is very easy
1- open the play store and search for an app called quickpic and download it
2- after finishing installing the app run the nove launcher you will still see the same thing things is happening * don't not panic * jk =p
3-open the gallery chose any wallpaper then option button set as wallpaper it will ask you which app to use
Just use quickpic and chose the size of the wallpaper you want and then set
That's all if hope this will be useful
Anyways good luck and I'm sorry for my bad English =)
I have same problem, and all above solutions have been tried, I'm currently on latest Resurection rom, and it seems it is running a 'virtual' higher resolution,i have some 800x400 wallpapers and it gets zoomed in and looks all weird, any one with a developer feedback that can answer the questions to this problem.
And all is working correct in stock rom
I've added some pictures, the correct image as it should be seen on the phone, and one as it looks on the phone

Buggy Lock screen selector

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a lock screen using the stock gallery app (JB stock samsung, LS8 FOP), but the selector for choice a part of an image is a bit weird (screenshot attached).
The part of image used ad lock screen is the part selected with internal rectangle, but external frame avoid select, for example, the corner of an image.
This behavior doesn't happen on JB Galaxy Note II. Is it a bug?

Hope I'm not wrong, but in my opinion it's seems to be logical, because if u check the lockscreen, u see that u are Ble to add more than one.
This means u have the main and at least camera to the right or one/two/... to the left.
So to have a background there, too, and while scrolling, u set not just the internal part, also the outer one.
Sorry for bad explaining but hope u got it anyway

I don't understand very well your explaining, I think that you are trying to say me that this method allow setup a wallpaper that cover all desktop when I do horizontal scrolling between them ¿?¿?
I've attached an edited version of previous screenshot. In Galaxy Note II, only the green frames are available.
The vertical frame shows the area of image wich will be show when mobile phone is vertical (in lockscreen or in desktop mode). The horizontal frame shows the area of image wich will be show when mobile phone is horizontal (in desktop mode, it allow scrolling between desktops if you have many of them). That is right.
But the external frame (remarked in orange) avoids, for example, include the cross I've painted in the corner of image in your lock screen. This not happen on Galaxy Note II...
Yep that's what I wanted to say
Sorry was a tired when I wrote...
Ok I see what u mean, but did u try to add a second and third screen and looked if the "red parts" also visible?
If yes it's like I meant but anyway bad shown in 'select wallpaper'
Otherwise u r wrong and it's a kind of senseless or maybe a bug...

I already have added 3 desktop screen, but behaviour is same with 3 or 7 screens.
In any case, I'm trying to setup a lock screen, not a wallpaper. I think that horizontal frame only should be appear when I select a wallpaper for desktop, not for lock screen, because the lock screen is always vertical and it only shows the part of image included in vertical frame selector. That wouldn't be a big problem if I can put the vertical frame in any corner of image, but this is the problem, external frame avoids this.
With this method is imposible select the corner of an image for used it as lock screen or wallpaper.
Thank you for your help.
I was using Nova Launcher. I've tried to use TouchWiz stock launcher and the problem is same, but while ToucWiz is used, the frame format change a bit (see the attached screenshot). As you can see, now the external frame is closest to internal vertical/horizontal frames.
This selector keep its new format until a few minutes after start to use Nova Launcher again (I think that until some Touchwiz references are remove from memory).
Then, we have a stupid buggy selector wich change its format depending of active launcher.... :-/

Yeah, what is it that you wanna do?
You were saying something like the launcher changes the image? or something.
That's how Samsung screen selector system is right now. It's messed up due to the screen scrolling. Use wallpaper wizardrii to set a non scrolling wallpaper and then you'll be able to select the whole image
The thread us about a bug in the wallpaper selector.
If you have, for example, a photo in portrait mode and want to use it as a lock screen photo then you can't use the whole image as you could in ICS (AFAIK. I was using Apex Launcher in ICS). The outer squared frame doesn't let you use the portrait picture and you get stuck only with the inner part of the photo(looks like zooming the image).
And yes, I'm having this issue too... Was hoping for a fix in latest releases and Spain OTA update... In vain...

Yes... the problem was in LS8 and continue in LSD...
Okay, I checked it out. Definetly right, It only takes the medium frame.
Now, why don't you try editing that image, so the whole pic fits the frame?

Yes, we can do it, but this not change the fact: the stupid behaviour of this version... I don't understand who in samsung (or maybe google?) decided implement this function in this manner...
Thanks to all for your test and advices

[MODS][HC] UltraSmooth Rosie (99.9% functional) and Sense 4 LockScreen

Hello guys! It's me again doing some crazy stuff for a "dead" device
I managed to get an almost fully functional UltraSmoothRosie. That's right. There's only one single bug.
So:
BUGS
Pinch to zoom out force closes the launcher, use home button instead
Top bar icons are stretched and "All Apps", "Personalize" and "Add" ICONS are not visible (the buttons work)
The edit menu (when you longpress an icon or widget) is stretched in landscape mode (use portrait for removing/editing)
Previews when moving items are often wrongly placed, but the actual moving process works just fine
Wallpaper is aligned incorrectly
Homescreen indicator (the white bar that moves when you scroll) is not visible
Leap view (previews of the five homescreens) is all messed up
Previews of the homescreen in the Personalize Menu have icons and widgets aligned incorrectly
Give it a spin, and tell me if you can find any quirk/detail/bug. And if you download it and actually use/like it, click the thanks button
DOWNLOAD

Just flash it in CWM, no wipes required.​
Another minor mod, that I made playing around with the M10Tools is a modification to the HTC Lockscreen to remove the bottom bar and the circles around the icons to accomplish a cleaner (Sense 4 like) look.

FLYER'S NOT DEAD
j.weber said:
So, yesterday I looked into the UltraSmooth Rosie mod for many HTC handsets, and I noticed the Jetstream has one, so I decided to try it out on my Flyer (a long shot, I know). It worked, but the top navbar had sizing issues, which made it impossible to access "All Apps", "Personalize" and "Add" menus. Plus, when trying to delete an object from the screen, I noticed the "Remove" icon was offscreen too, so I could not remove stuff. A blazing fast, lagfree, and pretty useless launcher.
So i took M10 tools and started resizing what I thought was what I needed to, and the outcome was almost perfect. I still can't work out the png's sizing (they are exactly in the same place, but the actual FUNCTIONAL icons are moved where you can reach them, so the launcher is pretty much 100% functional. And believe me: it's damn smooth.
So:

I want to stress, I'm not a dev, and this is my first attempt to actually do something for the community after taking and taking
I will try my best to iron out the present bugs so we can have a proper, fully working UltraSmooth Rosie.

It's really nice compared to the stock one.
Can you also upload the stock Rosie, in case we want to go back?
Restarted the Flyer today and I'm having force closes since then. Can't enter the launcher at all.
Any solutions?

Try wiping cache and dalvik and reflashing mod, that didn't ever happen to me
Any progress on those last few bugs?

I have been very busy lately but I managed to understand the logic behind HTC's Rosie layout. I fixed the positioning for all items for portrait, and landscape should be an easy process. The problem is I don't know how to fix the pinch to zoom out or the previews. But I can live with that. Maybe tomorrow I find some time to fix landscape and upload version 0.9. Cheers
All (except for ***** to zoom) fixed!
OP updated with version 1.0. All bugs but pinch to zoom fixed.
I installed the mod today and i Like it. Please fix the Last Bug and i will love it
I am going to be honest with you: I have absolutely no clue on how to do it. I think the way to fix it is SMALI editing, and that is a field I have no knowledge of. It would be pretty cool if we could get a real dev to take a look at it.
Did you try asking @hamdir? He should know a thing or two about that and maybe he can explain.
Tried installing it again on my Flyer and after boot I get continuous force close. Any suggestions on why?

Which ROM are you running? Did you try wiping and reflashing?
I was running a the stock rooted ROM. I tried with another ROM and it works again.
What I don't like is the animation in the app drawer when scrolling through app pages. It's a bit jerky.
It always was, as far as I reckon. HTC really did a crappy job at programming HC Rosie. It has so many flaws
The stock one has less that this one.

A question about the app drawer.

Well, my V30 arrived today and I really like this phone. I'm not new to LG phones and have dealt with this before but I can't install the app drawer icon on the home page without messing up my new setup and losing a lot of apps and pages. Is there a workaround for this that any of you know about? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Install Nova launcher, make app drawer, "import" the other launcher settings. LG in this case.
(Next time don't set up all your other shortcuts and stuff until you get your app drawer...
But Nova launcher can import your current configuration and still have an app drawer.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. Lesson learned I guess. I have never used a launcher before but I have only heard good things about the Nova launcher. I guess I will give it a try. I wonder why LG set the app drawer icon/function up like that in the first place?

LG gives choice of "Home" or "Home + App Drawer". But Home is the default. You have to choose the other when setting up...
Apple doesn't give iPhone users an app drawer because they're too probably stupid to find it? Google keeps trying to make Android be like iPhone (clock on the left where notifications go, removing headphone jack, etc) and it seems to have carried over to LG.
Well, since my last post, I installed Nova Launcher Prime and I basically had to start over anyway but it was a breeze having the app drawer right there. I am now exploring all of the settings within the launcher and having a ball doing so. Thanks for the suggestion. :good::good:

Use the cube rotation -- it's cool. Use the reverse parallax on wallpaper.

The cube rotation is cool. Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure about what the wallpaper thing does though. I set it on reverse but I did not see any change. I am using a LG theme called "Lightwave" and it has a live wallpaper that looks like an aurora. I like it. I found a lot of stuff on Nova launcher on YouTube. It's going to be a blast exploring it.
Also on Nova, you can save/backup your homescreen settings, so if something goes wrong you can simply reload it...

Yeah, the reverse parallax wallpaper effect doesn't work on live wallpapers. I see on new Nova they dropped the "parallax" name and only call it "reverse".
Basically causes the wallpaper in the background to move in the opposite direction of your desktop rotation, so the movement effect is magnified.

One other tip. Down in Advanced on Home Screen, I have my layouts locked. If I want to change something (add an icon, move an icon, edit a folder name), I can long press on empty space on any of the desktop screens and it will temporarily unlock to allow me to make changes. Otherwise you will accidentally move icons, widgets. I do this for my wife, sister, mother, friends also. Saves a lot of tech support phone calls! After you make the changes, within 30 seconds the layout will re-lock.
Also, you can export your Nova configuration to save elsewhere for safekeeping. Send to Gmail, upload to Google Drive, other destinations. If you wipe your phone, you can then download it and "import". Even helps if you change devices, to move your layout to different phone.
______
Another tip: I make my app drawer have a black background, so there's obvious difference between my desktop and app drawer.
_________
OK, bonus tip. Custom Icon packs. If you've not messed with that yet you are in for real treat. You download, install, and then in Nova Launcher "Look & Feel" Settings section, you apply via dropdown menu in Icon style. (For my own personal reasons, I do NOT have the "Normalize Icon Size" box checked.)
GOOGLE PLAY ICON PACKS
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=icon pack&c=apps&hl=en_US
These are custom icon packs. Some are free with no ads, some cost money, some are free but with ads (which may not appear if you have an ad blocker?). Besides wallpaper, you can totally change the look of your phone with custom icon pack.
I found this one when I had a previous device and keep using it. Has over 3,700 icons:
MyUI 5 - Icon Pack

But you can also find many esoteric and radical looking packs to be totally different. Like this one:
LineX Icon Pack

Not my taste, but others may love it!
But tons in between the two extremes to experiment with!

Thanks for that tip. I will be using that feature for sure.
@ChazzMatt, Thanks for all of this information and the icon pack information. The LineX icons are cool. I have seen some of these on YT and I am interested. On the reverse feature, OK, I now know what you were referring to. I will be using that some too I am sure.
One thing I have noticed and you might know a fix for. My phone has lost the "Knock On and Off" function even though I have it turned on. Any ideas on that? Thanks again for your help with Nova.

Thanks for the tip but that setting as far as using the double knock, only lets me shut down the screen and then I can't use a double knock to turn the screen back on. I can't even use the fingerprint option as well. Nova needs a fix for that.
when using nova to turn off screen double tap works, but you cant doubel tap from anywhere on the screen.
Double Tap on the time (upper right ccorner of you screen) and the screen will turn off. Thats the best and only way to double tap screen off using Nova
oops your question was screen on wih double tap, i have nova and have double tap screen on in setting of the phone (not nova) and the double tap work to turn on screen from anywhere on the off screen, then i use fouble tap on the time to turn screen off.
check you device setting make sure double tap is on.
@jaygo444, Thanks for the information and yes, I do have the double tap feature turned on in the phone settings. I kind of miss having the tap on feature though.
OK, I have a question about icon packs. If I install one and decide to use it with Nova launcher, will it affect my screen icon setup or will it just replace the icons I already have and leave my layout as it is?

It will leave the layout but just convert the icons to the new look.
If the icon pack itself asks to make changes, say no. You're only applying the icon look through Nova Settings.

Thanks. I installed the icon pack called "Viral" and installed them through Nova. Pretty cool to be able to use different icons.

I've used Nova launcher for years. However I'm liking the LG launcher right now. You have a few options for home screen.
No need for the app drawer icon since you can slide up from the bottom to get into the app drawer.
The other option which is nice is the IOS way to do it. Flipping through screens to get the app you like.
Also I bought zone launcher so that way I can select a few apps I use at time to time without going into the app drawer. The free version is enough but I like to support the devs.
