On my phone running 2.3 the lockscreen shows whatever wallpaper I normally have including live wallpapers. However, it looks like in 3.1 you need to choose a separate wallpaper for the lockscreen and it won't let me choose a live wallpaper. Does anyone know a work around for this?
I don't know it, but it would be nice to have!
+1 would like to know too!

Bah I was trying to figure this out myself!
Someone please figure this out
Even with 3.0 on the tab you got the live wallpaper on the lockscreen. The 3.1 update brought with it the (for lack of a better term) "dead wallpaper lockscreen".
All I can figure is that this must be their way of goading us into making custom roms...

Yes, while using the Desktop Dock in clock mode you get the currently selected Live Wallpaper. Can't find a way to get this on the lockscreen though. Perhaps 3.2???
My Xoom on 3.1 had live wall lockscreen so it can't be a 3.1 issue. While it's nice to have the option of separate walls, it would also be nice to have the option to have the same live wall across the entire device....you listening sammy?

Any update on this?
WidgetLocker doesnt look right on the tablet...
When I flashed the pda md5 in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119492) it worked perfect. Then I flashed Bonsai and it went back to no live wallpaper...
Got to be an easier way?
Also running Bonsai. It's annoying as it seems like the 'dead' wallpaper which is setup in the default settings actually overwrites the live wallpaper being displayed under the lock screen. The live wallpaper is there, just covered up.
Example: using Multi Picture Live Wallpaper, set the lock screen wallpaper to some distinct image, and the desktop to another image. The lock screen wallpaper will default to whatever is selected in the tablet settings. When you unlock, you should see a flash of the selected lock screen 'live' wallpaper which is displayed 'under' the dead wallpaper...
I played with settings in Multi Picture, but it doesn't seem to be able to override this.
has anyone here implemented this 3d UI? i am wondering if it is a bit laggy for our snapdragon processor's.

Doesn't work as wallpaper scrolling doesn't seem to work.
I tried to do this to my Note and had problems getting the wallpaper to display correctly. It would do some weird split screen thing and it looked like crap.
I am also interested to see if anyone can get it working.

These shows how versatile ADWEx is.....I don't think this sort of setup is for me....but it's cool.

Yes....scrolling is an issue with most Launchers on our Note....aShell launcher is the only launcher I have been able to get scrolling to work.
You could try using aShell for this setup, it is based on ADWEx.
i'll save the $ for now i reckon & stick with Zeam until something visually stunning comes along
I've got almost everything setup with a 3D UI on my Telus Note using Go Launcher EX. Like the rest of you, the only thing that doesn't work is the scrolling wallpaper.
Scrolling works find on GoLauncher. I had to disable and re-enable but then it worked just fine.
Also at the end of the vid he states that if you add a new homescreen it messes it up.

Can someone describe what's going on when you try and swipe between home screens?
Do the icons move with the adw ex transition but the wallpaper doesn't (stays static)?
Make sure you have wallpaper scrolling enabled in adw ex settings.
I may have the completely wrong idea but that's what it kind of sounds like..
lol it's a great UI once you get it going, trust me!

My note works fine with the ADWLauncher EX. The Facebook widget works great i just need to get the font like Cold Fustion. Also the Font for the Calendar. The background on these wont go away as i dont see the options to get rid of them. Other than that the scrolling is fine. Just enable the Scrolling Wallpapers and your good.
Yea wallpaper scrolling is a lot more fluid on the international version. Are you rooted?

Any Updates?

Hi there, has anybody managed to get ADW EX wallpaper scrolling to work on their US note yet? I was notified today that this problem is still around.
I just find this really strange..
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?

So since themer seems to be dead (no updates and the app doesnt load themes etc.) what would be the best alternative launcher? And i'm not talking about nova launcher or something like that because nova launcher doesnt change the homescreen the way themer does. The one alternative i found is Buzz Launcher but are there any others?
I had the same question and have not been able to find an alternative.
The problem is that we can no longer load the themes.
Is there a way to download them ourselves and manually install in Themer?

It used to be possible. But you had to download them off the site. But the site itself is quite broken, and google says it may have been hacked.
You could use some other sites to get the direct download link. E.g. I got this Mosaic theme from Lifehacker. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/94231qd5cs8hmiv/AACtRG8aIoO0AC85PfzTBpqda?dl=0

Buzz launcher was similar to themer. Have not tried it in a very long time though. Have no clue how it has changed since.
Just saw it , themer is no longer being updated, mycolorscreen is offline. I can recreate all the themes in total/lightning launcher but I need screenshots. Anyone has screenshots?

You could really do this?
The theme I am still using and love is `Tree2`. A screenshot from google image search is at:
http://mycolorscreen.com/wp-content/uploads/homescreens_2012/312318/App Tree2New_original.jpg
(No idea how as the rest of the site is down)
You click the icons in the tree to open them, but some give the option of opening multiple things, like the people icon. The charging bar was kinda cool too.
Look forward to seeing how you go 8)

I use klwp from play store is amazing i left buzz and themer long time ago didn't seem very useful to me anymore
KLWP when used alongside NOVA Launcher Prime is an excellent choice both for designers & enthusiasts. You can customize and build your own home screen with animations and actions triggered by click, slide, or any other action possible on an android.
I would definitely suggest KLWP as the best and only alternative.
Have no clue how it has changed since.
Does anyone know how's the battery consume in KLWP? I'm thinking it may consume more battery because of being 'LIVE' Wallpaper.

The live wallpaper is active only when you're watching it. If you're using other apps, it should be fine.
Hi everybody, i'm new to Xiaomi community , i'm came from HTC U11 the first i miss from HTC is the UI and the sound..
After some research and some installation i've finally get my perfect configuration on my MI 9 .
Here is a screenshot of my home screen
And also my HTC Usonic work to perfection with stock rom 10.2.9 after install viperFX . With no static sound or hissing.just perfect ??
For the notification i used "Notch Notification pro"
And you what's your perfect homescreen?
I like Miui's stock launcher (Xiaomi.eu version) and since I used an iPhone for several months before I bought a Mi9, I prefer launchers without a drawer. I like clean designs therefore I use some text KWGT Widgets (the first one is from huk kwgt) and three or more countdowns (countdown time app) to something i'm waiting for, like movies, events or videogames. The wallpaper is a 24h live wallpaper i downloaded from xiaomi's theme app. I used to heavily customize my homescreen but i don't have that much time anymore so nowadays i add just a little few tweaks to the stock experience but nothing more.
