Hi all,
I would like to create 'one' wallpaper to be used on a total of 'three' screens on my SGS3.
The idea is to use the Accordion Scroll Effect in Nova Launcher across three screens.
Does anyone know the dimensions of the wallpaper that I need to achieve this?
Whenever I resize a wallpaper, the image does not crop right using the 'square' cropping feature in Nova.
The Notification Menu will be displayed at all times.
Would someone be able to provide a little bit of assistance please? :fingers-crossed:

So, wallpapers like to stretch to fit all screens(or multiple screens even if there is only 1) is there a way to edit the system to cause wallpapers to stay on only one screen?
Reason being is I want to use this as my wallpaper but it doesn't like to be confined to a single screen
any help would be appreciated.
The app on the market called "Wallpaper Wizardrii" will do the trick.

Thanks man, Worked almost perfectly.
Hi everyone, i'd just like to share this little custom UI tutorial using ADW EX, Multipicture live wallpaper and simple text. I had just had a lot of questions on how I had set up my simple text icons and how I did my UI in general, so i'm going to show you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kptguUktJA
Cheers!
A step by step tutorial would be great. At least to get the full effect. Your setup is definitely pretty nice.
Yeahhhh , agree with that!!! , You do it like a very general way , It would be great if you could backup your adw ex settings , and tell us which animations transitions you use and detalis like that.
I saw the video , but my tablet is far way from look like yours
sorry 4 my english

Which widgets do you use for the Calendar and Music?
Very nice, but too complex for me LOL, i've tried few of those "Launchers" but too many options to play with and not easy way to understand them. You gotta have bunch of time to understand all of that.
I uninstalled them all.
That's what i said, a step by step tutorial

I see,
In ADW ex, make sure you have UI settings -->Screen Preferences--> 10 desktop rows and 10 desktop columns and Hide status bar selected
General behaviour ---> Animations and effects: My scrolling speed is 1800, bounce is 9, wallpaper scrolling is enabled
Mulltipicture live wallpaper just has double tap to change picture and show reflection on top/ bottom..
Not much else I can think of, if you get stuck just give us a yell

Any idea where Simple Text stores the buttons it creates? I want to reuse them and not recreate for each page. Thanks!
I have customized ADW to have 10 rows and columns. Now there is long space between icons on home screen. How do I rectify?
Ignore. Icons are working fine.
Is that calendar app Jorte or Jotre? I managed to find Jorte in the market.
If I use "Hide Status Bar" setting, the status bar is still visible. On top of that, if I click on settings, then the menu is partially visible on the screen? Any suggestion?
When I used that Simple Text, I just got an icon on screen, I can't get that text like you got it...
Im having similar errors as the above post. I cant make the adw launcher top bar go away for the life of me. And in the multi live wallpapers it freaks out and freezes the picture when I reach the last page of five and it wraps around to the first one. It doesnt transition there. Any ideas on fixes? I've done each and every setting in the multi wallpaper app for fixing that and none work...
OP, how were you able to use a live wallpaper with the multi livewallpaper app?

Heya,
At this point it's impossible. Multi livewallpaper only works with image files atm
Haven't tried .gifs but there's not much point + that's kind of lame haha.

Actually, I'm thinking what just hasn't been made entirely clear is that the exodus live wallpaper wasn't actually being run as part of the multi live wallpaper. Video editing just gave the impression that the live wallpaper spontaneously appeared.

Whoops! I'm sorry if it appeared that way, yea, exodus is actually just a live wallpaper and not part of mulitilive. You have to switch if you want a live wallpaper..
coooool! im gonna do this now
Why does it ALWAYS crop my wallpapers, even the factory ones too. I can't find a setting that will disable this and my wallpapers look like ****. Does same thing on aftermarket launchers too.
Some have had luck with certain wallpaper apps and launchers being used in conjunction. What works for me is using an app called "PicSpeed Wallpapers." Download it and then go into your gallery. Find a picture you want as your wallpaper-> menu> set as-> PicSpeed. Here you'll have an option to have it scrollable (doesn't work for me), vertical, or horizontal. Horizontal makes them look like "normal" again. Kind of an extra step but worth it. Hope this helps
My wallpapers look fine. You shouldn't have to use another app. There must be a setting somewhere. I don't think that is standard.
I seem to remember something coming up the first time I opened the wallpapers, but didn't read it and accidently clicked the "do not show me again" box. Any way to restore the wallpaper settings to stock?

OK, I think I figured this out. If you long press on the screen you can pick wallpapers and that is how I always have done it. Now the other way to set the wallpaper is to click the menu button (the physical button) then click wallpapers, then the type of wallpapers and when you select one it gives you the resize option. So play around with that and you should be good to go.

Do you have any other picture management apps installed?
Ive tried both ways and I always get the prompt to resize the wallpaper to the truncated version.
Ive also tried ADW launcher, quick pic, wallpaper wizardii. Nothing seems to work. No scroll. Very annoying.

My guess is that scrollable wallpapers lag this phone so bad that they just disabled it in the kernel. The GPU in this phone is way underpowered for the screen resolution.
adw launcher has always had this issue...had it with my streak as well. i talked to the adw dev about it and he was aware of the issue but couldn't fix it as he didn't have a test unit (and probably didnt want to be bothered with it). i assume other launchers would have similar issues (due to landscape transition sizing)
always used a live wallpaper or found a higher res patterned picture that could be cropped without too much pain.

I'm totally stock and rooted but I don't get the resize option on the screen long press way. Strange!!
No matter how I choose my wallpaper, it does this. If I choose a wallpaper I downloaded for 1280x800 sometimes the orange box is the size of the entire pic and it looks great. But it shouldn't do this with the stock wallpapers.
Something else, If I set the wallpaper during Go launcher and then switch to TW the wallpaper will resize itself and looks perfect.
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.

So the stock wallpaper on the Galaxy S4 goes all the way to the notification panel at the top and makes it transparent which i love. I figured i would try and load a custom wallpaper and it would do the same thing, no go! This is kind of disappointing that the stock wallpapers have dimensions that sideloaded wallpapers dont. Has anyone figured out a way to cover that area so it looks as nice as the stock wallpapers.

This is well known, Samsung has come out and told us you only get the transparent notification bar on their wallpapers. Their reasoning, which makes sense, is that they don't know what kind of picture you would be using, and certain backgrounds would make the navigation bar text unreadable.
The only thing I can think of is if you use Nova Launcher, you can enable "transparent notification bar" somewhere in the menu, that might let you do that with all wallpapers.

You don't need the lock screen with Nova. Lock screen is a different APK. You can still change the two by going into your settings -> My device -> Display -> Wallpaper and then pick Lock Screen or Home Screen.
Here is my issue. I've gotten my luck screen to be transparent v by luck. I tested that luck changed wallpaper and lost transparency. Anyone else run into this

You could replace one of the stock wallpapers. I looked and they are packaged as drawables in the wall paper chooser apk (SecWallpaperChooser.apk). I may try to do it...it is essentially like making a theme.
BTW, the stock wallpapers are 1920x1920...I guess so they work in landscape?
