is there a way to get scrolling wallpaper working on the stock sense rom? i'm using apex, which has a scrolling wallpaper option, and i tried using quickpic(since the sense gallery wallpaper picker only crops for a non-scrollable wallpaper) but nothing will work. i always just get a static background
any workarounds?
without rooting, that is. i'm trying to use the phone stock for a little while before i root to see how i like it
Pretty sure this was removed totally in sense 5....
In fact, I dont even get it to work with Nova Launcher Prime either. I select a 2160px * 1080px as wallpaper with wallpaper scrolling enabled, but all i get is a static 1080px wallpaper and no scroll effect.
There is an option in nova launcher settings to force scrolling wallpaper for Samsung devices like the galaxy. Just make sure that is ticked and it will work.

You can download the app landscape wallpaper from the market for free,it will allow you to do so with the stock or aftermarket launchers.

Works for my GS2 on Apex. Make sure you download QuickPic from the playstore. Then long press on your homescreen and select Wallpapers, where it says Choose wallpaper from..select QuickPic. It should work from there.

yeah, i've tried quickpic and the stock android gallery, no luck
i installed nova real quick and that worked, but i like apex more. so it has something to do with sense i guess.
Has anyone found a way to scroll in sense curious?

There are 2 launchers in the works for ICS and both of them work on our tablets! You can check them out at the following links...
Nova Launcher
Trebuchet (CM9) Launcher
If anyone knows of any others, post them here.
Has anyone tried using ADW EX with ICS? I just got ADW set up to my liking the other day, and I would really like to be able to keep things laid out the way they are now.

I have it running on mine, everything is the same except I was using Wizz widgets facebook app on my home page and it was no longer scrollable. Not an adw issue but that is the only thing I've noticed that's "different".
I use wizz on stock ICS launcher and can still scroll in twitter and Facebook.

ADW EX works fine but puts an ugly blue line across the top of the screen.
I tried going to ADW EX after ICS update, but all Google widgets no longer scroll which is a dealbreaker for me. I sent an email to the developer for a fix.

Yeah I have teh same problem. Hopefully will be fixed in an update
You can hide all the top options by:
- long pressing on the screen
-Then click launcher actions
-Find hide status bar ( I think it's what it's called)
-it'll put a shortcut on the screen, click that
Now the top bar should be gone

I'm having the same issue. Even on different launchers... Whatever app that is intercepting when you crop the background won't let you crop enough to have a successful scrollable background. Launcher Pro scrolls, but you can only crop enough that fits the screen size, then it stretches it and it looks all ****ty. lol
So nobody else noticed?

I noticed this as well. I was trying to use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to have a different wallpaper for each screen and it doesn't work.
gingerbread version issue
Check your version info: version 2.3.6 from AT&T broke scrolling wallpaper.so, now, what I want to know is If go launcher still works with the new version

I have also the SGH-I717 from TELUS and it does not scroll live wallpaper with any of the laucher that enable it (Go, Pro or ADW), but it does work with standard wallpaper.
Do we have a confirmation of the root of the problem (harware, OS or software)?
I can only get scrolling wallpaper using go launcher ex. Only problem now is: any image I use is automatically zoomed in.it does scroll, though. butt it looks like crap zoomed in.I have to choose a landscape image, like a field. Dumb.still hoping ICS fixes these issues.
Its definitely software. I won't have much time to mess with it more until next week.

As said in several places, Launcher Pro works fine too, as for any others don't.. Dunno. Wall Switch + Launcher Pro = Just Works.
Sorry, but I am not sure if the reply from khaytsus is for me or raythedestroyah?
Because in my case for regular image set as standard wallpaper (not Live) everything work well, but for Live wallpaper that are designe to also scroll with the home pages from left or right, none of them work with any of the Launcer (Pro, Go or ADW).
Again, any help would be apreciated.

My bad, in my hurry to be a smartass I mis-parsed your statement. So static wallpapers are okay for you, but not live wallpaper.
Been a few months since I looked at LWP, but yeah you're right, I installed a few I had tried in the past and no scrolling.
Hey!!! Thanks!!!!, I'd installed both apps, works great!!!

Is there anyway to use the HTC widgets on this launcher?
Can't find a clock or a music widget anywhere on the launcher.
The dock option is badass though.

I was going to get apex, but then I realized I'd have to redo my entire desktop layout (restoring the /data partition of my Energy ROM did it for me in Sense....lazy lol). Also I kept telling Android to choose Sense by default when I hit the home button, but it kept asking me everytime which launcher I wanted, so I uninstalled apex. Soon as an AOSP ICS Rom is releases, I'm all over apex.

No, if you want OFFICIAL ICS look use trebuchet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410674
The download link isn't working, and I'm pretty sure I can post it without issue.. if you like it hit their thanks button. It is really easy to push into the /system/app folder via adb or with root explorer, es file explorer, etc.
I don't have a quicker/easier way to post it than dropbox http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13692699/Trebuchet.apk
Even though I didn't keep using caprombeta(needs root) I saw the launcher he chose and was very impressed

Finally re-installed Apex, and it was doing the same thing. Every couple of times I hit the home button, it would ask me if I wanted Apex or Sense launcher to load. I fixed this by going into Titanium backup and freezing "[DESKTOP] HTC Sense" if anyone else is having trouble with this.

Tried it, but it didn't work. Freezing Sense worked great though.
I don't think it's just my phone though. I have a friend who has a Samsung Captivate, and I rooted his phone and installed an ICS rom for him about a month ago. I suggested Apex (the rom used Nova), so he downloaded it and has been using it. He recently told me that it keeps forgetting that it's the default launcher, and that he has to tell it again and again. :/
Just curious if people prefer stock or a replacement launcher?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Nova.
I used ROM Cleaner to remove the sense launcher.
Ha I was also wondering this. Was just about to ask and saw this thread. I was wanting to make a sleek simple homescreen and someone said I couldn't change icons with stock launcher.
How easy is it to switch back and forth between launchers?
As easy as installing from the play store and running it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
But would it keep all the settings. Like could you set up two different launchers and have them set the way you want. Then just feel like going to a different look one day just because you feel like it lol.
Yes. A launcher is just an app like any other app. Settings get saved.
Nova, have used it since I got my Galaxy S2. Love it easy backup/restore change icons individually, and more!
Just installed Nova Launcher and gotta say its pretty cool. Here's what I created. Just two questions. Can nova launcher make the status bar clear? And I used simple text to change icons on the dock but it has black background behind the words. Can I make that clear somehow.
I use apex launcher and as nova
It's amazing, I had no trouble changing plenty of phones while keeping my layout

Action Launcher - allows minimalist approach, very fast to select apps. And Blink Feed app from appstore switches back into sense launcher so I can go back and forth.
Apex
This may be the perfect place to post this:
Does anyone know of a launcher (or can creat one) that is JUST the Sense 5 app drawer?
i.e: unlock your phone, and hit the app drawer button: THAT is ALL I want to see.

I've always liked the stock launchers over Nova, Apex, etc. Although I did enjoy them on CM roms on the One X when I had it. Usually I'm not a fan of stock Android. I've always much preferred the manufacturer skins.

Ah! I just installed Nova and thought I was just dumb because I couldn't get my wallpaper to scroll. Um... Just making sure- scroll means you have a "double wide" image that goes from one half to the other as you go back and forth between home pages?

Can't speak for Nova launcher, but I think the last Sense launcher to have wallpaper scrolling was Sense 4+
