When I was running Nova launcher prime on 4.2.2 with Sense 5. I was able to force wallpaper scrolling. But the option for "force scrolling" is no longer there on any 4.4.2 roms with sense 5.5. The option for scrolling is there, but it doesn't work. Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks

I am curious about this too, scrolling doesn't seem to work for me either ):
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+

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.

what option do I hide to get rid of it?
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

Started using Nova Launcher with Nils ICS and ran into a small problem.
The Sense Lockscreen that has the 4 shortcuts by default launch Sense and not Nova Launcher, any way to change it? Do I need another lockscreen?
Have you tried removing the Sense APK(Rosie.apk) and see if Nova launches the shortcut properly? I don't use the Sense lockscreen anymore so I can't test.
I just removed the Rosie and it still loads the icon. Even more interesting is that I just deleted the HTC lock screen yet it is still there. Weird

Quick question.....
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.

Yeah I was selecting the "do this as default" option when I hit the home key, but it just refused to remember it for me (when selecting Sense as default launcher). Didn't try to make apex the default.

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. :/

Apex is by far the best of the AOSP-look launchers.
Thank you. Nova Launcher is very smooth and fast except when you fill a page of apps and slide from a page to another. Can you tell me if is it possible change lockscreen to another similar Cyanogenmod 9 to?

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.
