Yeah I know, many of you will laugh when you see this post...but I need help finding where the option to keep the wallpaper from scrolling while I move from homescreen to homescreen. I want the background to remain static while I flip through screens.
I know it's something really minor but it's really been bugging me. I had found it once before, and then flashed to the new CM6rc1 and can't find it!
Thanks in advance for the help!

Don't remember about ADW but LauncherPro has an option to disable wallpaper scrolling in the Appearance settings..
If you're using ADW launcher, which comes with CM6, you go into ADW settings>Screen Preferences>then uncheck Wallpaper Scrolling.
I didn't even know there was such an option, learned something new. Thanks guys!

Right on! Okay thanks. I have the metal slug live background on (you can drop bombs on zombies as they walk by, pretty funny stuff) and this helped fix up a slight lag issue I had.
Thanks for the help, it's greatly appreciated!

I had fixed the wallpaper scrolling for launcher pro only..when I go into screen preferences in adw settings I don't even have an option to disable wallpaper scrolling. The closest to it I've found is in settings->display; an option that says auto-rotate screen.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi. I wonder if any of you can set the page of the app drawer vertically or horizontally? I've been searching and looking but had no clue at all.

Launcher Pro has never done this. I used to swear by Launcher Pro until I tried Go Launcher for a few days, and now I can't go back. I personally prefer a vertical app drawer, but Go Launcher does have the option of either vertical or horizontal.
Launcher Pro's HUGE lack of updates over the last 4-5 months is very off putting! I like Go Launcher, but it's still a little too buggy.
I cant find option to change home screen and app drawer to landscape mode in Go launcher.Can someone plzz guide?

Switched to go recently too. Its amazing. It used to be trash but after a month or two I decided to give it another go and its amazing now. I just hate those ugly tabs in the app drawer, I really don't care to have a task manager and app history in my app drawer.

Now I'm like using ADW Launcher LOL!
Ok, I have scoured many sites (including this one) and have found no solid answer
so, can someone please tell me, does the home screen on the ET4G rotate?
I understand that it doesn't need to rotate, but I don't get why it wouldn't
everything else rotates on the phone except the home screen. I don't like that
gotta use a launcher like go or adw or launcher pro
FINALLY! someone replies
thanks so much
Yep rotates with go launcher for sure

just wondering, how do I access my apps in GO launcher? :/
Well I just came from rooted mytouch 4g and loved the endless possibilities of being rooted! But I don't want to root this GN2 yet because of warranty but enough said I want to change my dpi or just change the size of things and love a good launcher with lots of themes but not any launcher IV tried has abilities to change icon size or dpi...
Any one found a good launcher besides nova prime, or go launcher

I hate Go Launcher. It used to be great. Then they switched over to GetJar to download themes, and they have Free to download but pay to use themes. It's a huge mess. I personally like Nova or Apex. Although now that ADW has updated their app, I've been using that. I have to say it works pretty well, though each time I reboot I have to reset it as the default launcher.
I love the stock launcher with a few exceptions; I don't understand why they made the pages a 4x4 grid. The Note fully justifies a 5x5 grid. I wish that the other launchers gave you the ability to quick-scroll between pages in the homescreen and in the dock like the stock touchwiz launcher does.
I changed my DPI to 280 and use Go Launcher with a 6x6 grid and works very well. Now the stock Samsung keyboard and dialer did not scale correctly, but I use Swipe and the Go Dialer.
Adw has gotten as lot better and after a haitus from it I'm back and it's better than it had ever been

Still stuck on Nova launcher. Fast, stable and the backup feature is in the free version. $4 for the pro, gives you message and email counts on the icons, just like TW.

You could simply use one of the toolkits. And if something happens you can use it revert back to complete stock.

Well, I finally invested the time in learning enough about Lightning Launcher. It's really COMPLETELY different than other launchers I've tried, which is what I like about it. I've tried Apex, ADW, Nova and briefly touched GO -- they're all pretty much the same -- all pretty good. Lightning is kind of a big pain to figure out and it doesn't give the option for a scrollable dock, but you can pin, resize, rotate and arrange all icons, widgets and folder labels in whatever way you want, all on a zoomable, scrollable page. You can't really apply themes, but you can make up whatever you want. Your screen is really like a window onto an infinite desktop that you have full control over. It doesn't have the fancy animation options that the others do, so there's not a lot of "Wow" factor for others to see, but I have everything accessible from a single screen that doesn't feel too cluttered with icons. Lightning is free from Play and doesn't require root.
FWIW, here's a screen shot of my home page -- The two rows of icons at the bottom are pinned as well as the Google search widget at the top. Everything else moves and zooms in or out behind the pinned stuff. If I want, I can place other items above, below, or to the sides and just scroll to them. Lightning does support other pages that you can switch to with a two-finger swipe, and I use them as sort of a sandbox for trying things out, but everything I want is on my main home page.
I've been using atom launcher for a while first on my s2 and now on my note2. It will let you create folders which is nothing new but you can scroll with your finger or with the S Pen. Also you can vary the opacity of the icons on the home screen if you want to keep some what of a clean look. I'll post pics to better explain.

I'm pretty sure I've tried them all, and seem to always revert back to Nova Pro. Its fast, stable, has nice features without be gimmicky like Go and some of the others. Bottom line I want something that works that isn't at burden on system resource, Nova fits that bill.

Root modifies your devices's firmware, so...no :/
I'm irritated. I bought Nova Prime two months back and it is a great launcher, lite and so smooth. But I just found wallpaper cropping issue two days back and now I won't use it until it's fixed.
I tried Apex then, well it has homescreen transparency bug, dock scrolling is terribly laggy, as well as folder opening.
Then I tried Go, and that infamous App drawer lag problem still exists!
Just some hours ago I gave a try to ADW and it too has wallpaper cropping issue.
I'm back to TW now, it's the fastest and smoothest no doubt, but no customized icons, below average app drawer, no homescreen grid customisation and stuffs.
I need something which will be light and works fast, and NO bugs. So what you guys are using?
Thanks in advance.

Used to use nova prime and widget locker for my GS2 which I bought for a total of ~8 dollars. However, when I moved to note 2 I no longer saw any use for them. Touchwiz in this phone is hugley improved and so is the lockscreen.
SPB SHELL 3D(best one ,i checked every single launcher before using it) but it has no transition for ALL Applications section...

Most people I know use Nova or Go. I think Apex is far nicer and looks closer to a clean Android build. Far easier to customise your icon grids and transitions.

It has redraw problems and the dock and folder menu is lagging horribly for me. When I had my S2 it was favourite launcher too, but back then it didn't lag.

Same here! I've tried all these launchers along with Holo hd and Atom launcher but the best one out of these imo is Nova prime with no stutter/lag. But I can't find an option to customise the app drawer grid layout (which is fixed at 4x5) wasting a lot of space. So, back to stock TW, fastest & smoothest but ugly big icons imo :laugh:!
Not sure if this has been asked before but does changing launchers affect the S Pen features?

Don't know if this is related to your cropping issue on Nova but I just use the Android settings menu to set the wallpaper instead of Nova settings. Settings -> Display ->Wallpaper. Background is crisp and sharp.
Holo launcher its really cool:beer::beer:

+1, i also use TSF shell, the new version allowed you to customized the icon as well and for drawer side, u can customize the number of row and columns. the best part and the part that i loved the most is the folder image, so nice, rather than just a square box represent a folder. regarding the home screen icon setting and placement are way to customize, u can just arrange or rotate around the icon as you wish and u even can use the grid line in order to arrange your symmetric. Believe me, the best launcher that i ever had use.
the second launcher i would recommend is either GO or SPB shell 3D.
you choose buddy.
Oh my Google!! Have you all seen ADW Launcher lately? IT IS NICE!! Oh my Google!! You can actually have the dock bar on the bottom in landscape mode!! You have no idea how long and hard I've been wanting that. That will go GREAT with my Windows setup on my Nexus 7. :good:As you can see the dock is on the side. Well ADW Launcher allows it on the bottom. I have never seen that. LoL!!
I'm so going to give them another try. The UI for the Widgets is also nice. Good bye Apex:crying:, hello ADW:good:. They're coming back from just being a Gingerbread Launcher. :highfive:
I was missing the 4D vertical App Drawer stock Android used to have. So I was lyk since I bought ADW EX I might as well go use it. I have a pretty simple home screen on my phone anyways. So I download it and see all this new stuff and I'm lyk WOAH!! Megaton High five-core!!:highfive:
I thought I reignite such an old favorite I found!!:angel: I didn't think anyone was using it since I haven't seen it in screen shot post. Only been seeing Apex, Nova. LoL!! :laugh:
