Hi
It's been a while since I noticed this error..
I'm using Defrost Latest Version with Launcher PRO.
Every time I set a new wallpaper (it doesn't matter which way I do it, either via launcher pro, or via backgrounds app), the image is changed to some grass.
It only changes to the new image I picked if I reboot the phone..
That's kind of annoying, since every time I want to test a wallpaper I have to reboot my phone.
Anybody knows a solution for this?
Thanks
nobody has a clue?
you should be posting this in the launcherpro forums since the dev actually looks there.
and I presume you are changing the wallpaper when in LP by either pressing menu>wallpaper>gallery or long press on LP desktop>wallpapers>gallery?
It just came to me, the thought of having the rosie utility appear and disappear on command. Sometimes I like to set my Evo on its' kick stand, set it next to my computer AND set it on AniPet Aquarium but its a bummer that the damn rosie is taking up space. Its also nice connecting it to my TV and setting it on a wallpaper but the damn rosie. Not sure if this already done on home replacements, but i don't like them. Just wondering if it is possible as to make it like a removable widget, THAT'D BE AWESOME!. Right now I am rooted with Myn's WarmZ rom. Please only serious answers, I don't mean to sound dumb if this is not possible. Any advise would be great.
I've seen an app that allows you to just see your wallpaper, but I don't remember the name. You launch the app & the entire screen is just the wallpaper, nothing else. If the only time you use landscape is when it's on the kickstand, you could use Tasker or a similar app to automatically launch the app when you go into landscape mode. I'm sure it's also possible to set it to only open when you're on your homescreen & in landscape. Or you could just put a shortcut to it on your homescreen if you don't want to deal with automating it.
I'll do a search & see if I can find the app. I know it's not exactly what you're asking for, but it kind of solves the problem.
EDIT: I think I found it. It's called "Cleaner (Show Wallpaper)", and it's a widget. It seems to hide everything, dock/Rosie included.

I don't really know if that's possible, as far as I know it's not.
But I've yet to try, so someone here might prove me wrong

1. choose a live wallpaper for both home and lock screen.
2. go to gallery and choose a plain wallpaper and set it for only homescreen.

It's not working it saying it will be also the photo for the Lockscreen
I don't that is possible maybe with a special app?
Hi guys,
just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction to fix the zoom on the home screen wallpaper for Jedi Mind Trick ROM v. 8
I've searched in that thread, and there was some mention to use Wallpaper Setter to fix it.
I went to Play Store to install, and it shows its already installed. Maybe im missing something but im stuck with a zoomed/blurry wallpaper and cannot fix it.
Any ideas?
Just push the aosp gallery to that rom and then youll be able to crop the whole wallpaper as normal
You can try an application called wallpaper wizardrii, works for me but i have to say that it sometimes is unstable. Sometimes the wallpaper is completely upside down, the easiest way to correct it is to swipe to another homescreen and press the home button
Zedge works well on Jedi

Hi all,
I have jumped on the Amazon Fire Phone. I'm already a prime member, using an old LG P930 with Cyanogenmod, but as you can imagine the hardware is a bit old. For $100.00 (since I'm already a prime member the extra year of Prime would have been purchased anyways) this phone was a no brainier for me. My question is, what launcher are you guys running? The Nova launcher works well, but gives an error when installing widgets. Trebuchet fails to launch unfortunately. So far my favorite launcher is Cheetah Launcher by CC Launcher. Everything works, it's clean, and allows the use of my widgets. (Pandora and 1 weather is a must for me). Swiping up to go back works just fine. The only thing I don't like is you don't get notifications of emails or messages in the dock. Also, the default AOS status bar seems a bit weak. It notifies you and the notification goes away. I have been seeing something, wanting to grab it later, and then forget. :|
Anyone else got any launcher or good apps that go well with them to make it more user friendly? I'm very impressed what a simple launcher and side loading apps will give you with this device with out downgrading it or rooting it.

I've tried nova launcher and Doodol launcher. They both seem to work with the exception of wallpapers
Anyone have any idea of what needs done to get wallpapers working?
On 3.5.0 wallpapers only work with root (xposed tweak)
Yahoo Aviate works well with sll of their built in wallpapers (no widgets work, and you can't select a picture from your gallery though)
Buzz Launcher works with wallpaper support (including your own images). No widgets work though.
I tried a bunch of launchers today and those two are the best so far
So annoying that widgets didn't work on Nova, which has always been our preference, so I set up GEL on wife's new phone. So far she's ok with it, except for being confused how to get out of the Google Now panel (she thought it was an app and was trying to swipe up to get "back" not realizing it was just the left most panel of the launcher).
One thing I did try to set up also that isn't working is Pie Control. It worked for a little bit when first loaded, but subsequent attempts to activate it haven't been successful. I suspect the swipe-in capabilities are hi-jacked by the Fire OS.
Another annoyance is the inability to make direct-dial shortcuts.
I installed, or attempted to install the GNL and wasn't successful. I'll give it a go again. I think I remember the install took, but it wouldn't open the launcher. Still, if looking around, check out that Cheetah Launcher. It just doesn't give notifications in the dock.
Speaking of notifications, does anyone know of a good notification bar? The stock bar on this phone doesn't show an icon that there is a pending kik message, voicemail, text, etc.

So I installed the Google Now Launcher .apk again. It then stated I needed google search. Downloaded that .apk. It told me to clear my launcher defaults, I did, but Google Now Launcher isn't an option in the launcher selection. Any idea?
Never mind. I restarted the phone and is good to go. I seem to like the Cheetah Launcher much better so far!
I use Vire Launcher. Its built in wallpapers work perfectly and all widgets work and can be resized. It also has some cool effects.
tried vire launcher and dodol launcher. neither launcher seems to update my missed call count or text messages count properly. ie always showing missed calls.
anybody having this issue as well, or know of a fix?

I've installed a few launchers, okay - a lot of launchers. Below are the ones that I found that give the count of SMS, missed calls, etc.
- Nine Launcher (not a huge fan)
- C Launcher Lite (not bad - not very customizable)
- Solo Launcher (pretty slick - but outside widget support doesn't work)
I'm currently on the hunt for a good status bar or notifier.
The Google Now Launcher seems to work very well without any lag. Its very light weight although not very customizable. So far it seems to be a good place to start until other launchers become more compatible. I added the dashclock widget to the homescreen, with better weather addon, plus the other alerts I need and this seems a complete setup right now that matches my Nexus 4 setup.

Drag one icon and drop onto another icon. This creates a folder that you can then name.
GoLauncher Ex
GoLauncher Ex seems to work well, all widgets worked for me

Thanks, but this is only working at the home screen, not in the apps menu.
Is it working for you in Apps menu as well? Let me know i have tried 100 times, and soon as i try to drag 1 icon it takes me to the home screen,.

I don't think you can make folders on the apps menu. I don't seem to be able to on my Nexus 4 with its stock launcher, so its no surprise you cant do it in the Google launcher we are loading.
Thanks for this question though. I thought the launcher was limited to 3 pages but I found that you can create more empty pages by long pressing the home screen and moving the existing side pages to one side of the home page, then dragging icons to the side that now has no page to create a new page. I tried simply dragging icons earlier but it would not form a new page until I moved the old page first. Strange process but it works.
Fire Phone Lauchers - Wallpaper and Widgets
Hi All -
I've gone through just about every launcher I can find to find one that both wallpaper and Widgets work on... With no luck.
Buzz Launcher has wallpaper working, a number of launchers have widgets working, but none with both...
Has anyone else had any luck with both? Do we know what makes one or the other not work? Would rolling back to older versions of some of these launchers (pre-lollipop and kitkat) work?
Thoughts? Help? Suggestions?
Thanks!!!
Has anyone tried Action Launcher Pro? I wonder if it gets along with Fire Phone (no root).
I've tried at least 20 different launchers today. The only one that has wallpaper and widgets working is still Vire Launcher.
