Is it possible to have scrollable sense 3 wallpapers - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

H XDA,
Got a new rom which i'm loving, it's smooth and badass RCMIX3D v7
It's a proper animal of a rom.
My only gripe with Sense 3 is the static wallpaper and the streak one is just too laggy for my liking, so is there any way to have scrollable wallpapers on sense 3 roms?
Thanks.

did you ever get this to work as im having the same problem

It wouldnt work properly because the launcher goes straight to the other side once you swipe past the last screen. If you had scrollable wallpapers that would make an "interesting" effect where you can see the two edges meeting and not making a consistent background image. If you get what I mean lol

never thought of it like that but would still be nice to have could have it where when you get to end it would just start the picture again and the double edge could pass while it was changing screens

Disable the tiny weather animation beneath the clock

The small home screen weather, right beneath the clock, animates. When you open the home screen the weather animates for a short time.
I dont mean the animated background on the home screen which covers the whole screen. I really mean the tiny weather thingy.
I want that to stop. Anyone has any idea how to stop this? I've got the latest 2.5 23xxx Energy Cookie Rom

Well that small animation should only happen when you go back to the home tab or when the clock itself is reloading..... like after you flip the cookietab back down or something.
It doesnt slow down your phone at all and that animation takes a whole, what, 3 seconds? I would just use a rom that doesnt include that weather panel under the clock. The weather may look a bit funny just sort of popping back and forth between your my location weather forcasts as it changes.
I think that weather animation its pretty much standard even on 2.1 roms now.

Its annoying. The weather is fine, but the animation is bugging me ... but oke.
You can remove it but then you won't have any weather there at all. At least to my knowledge.

[Q] InsertCoin CM7 v48 - Wallpaper doesn't scroll, flat widgets

Has anyone noticed that when you try to set a wallpaper from your gallery, the adjustable rectangle is as if rotated 90 deg. The area you choose is exactly the size of one screen, so the wallpaper doesn't scroll when you move from one screen to another.
Is it a bug or is it like this because the transition between screens 1 and 7 wouldn't look good.
Also, I've noticed that the sense 3 widgets aren't properly scaled. They're a little bit flat. Not much... but It's annoying when I look at my girlfriend's photo and see that it's too wide. I can't show her that!
Other than that that rom is epic! Great job, baad!
Yeah I noticed that too! It's annoying because I got loads of cool wallpapers from the Galaxy S. Though I suppose maybe it's due to the new Sense 3.0 Rosie scroll "carousel" as opposed to the 2.1 one which works differently, no? I also used RCMix 2.0 Test 3 and it was the same...
same issues here, but hey, its a nightly build..
I think it is meant to not scroll the wallpaper anymore in Sense3 homescreen. I heard this issue in other forums too. Its like on the HTC Sensation. There is also no scrolling. Because of the carousel scrolling.

[Q] Stretching the wallpaper to match all the screen?

we have a perfect phone with amazing screen. but... .
its well knowed to any android owener that allways the wall-paper maximum traction on the screen is leaving a few percent down to dock and his apps\symbols and a few percent up to the bar and his apps\symbols, while the background of the bar\docks stays black\glass.
back in my merry days with the WM6.5 I recall there was software that really stretched the entire wallpaper including the bar and dock, and clearly saw the apps\symbols on the dock\bar but the background of them was the Wall-paper i cosed.
it was very Beautiful and really Reflected and showed the ALL SCREEN.
needless 2 say that worked on\with any luncher !
Utilization of the screen background picture - really makes an amazing phone.
does Anyone know such a method\app that doing the same in Android and works with our phone ?
tnx
If you use a launcher like launcherpro and you download on app like Flikie Wallpapers you can stretch your wallpaper and see it through all of your screens and dock. If you select a picture do it with Flikie to get it on all the screens.

[Q] Desktop Visualizer icon sizes

I was hoping someone could help me sizing widgets for the nexus screen.
I wanted to make a grid that fit together with no spaces in between like on that market screenshot for the app.
My plan uses 4x1 and 2x1 widgets so I wont need the other sizes.
I had it set up pretty good on my lg but with the different screen sizes it doesnt match on the nexus.
I have my screen set to 5 rows and 4 columns so I was looking to do a 4x1 at the top then 6 2x1s and then a 4x1 at the bottom.
Any help would be much appreciated.

are those tiles or just hotspots? if the lines aren't visible you can just set it as your wallpaper and use DVR to create invisible icons using a "blank picture".
if not, find out what your phone resolution is and your gonna have to edit the picture to find the proper alignment to match the widget sizes...i have made a bunch of custom homescreens (its a pain to get the alignment right sometimes)..but if it looks good in the end, its worth it
it shouldnt be too difficult though, that set up isn't complicated

Thats a good idea, so your saying create it all as one picture and then set it to wallpaper then use invisible icons for widgets right?
The only problem I can see for that is what about the wallpaper for the rest of my screens?

1. yes
2. are you using scrolling wallpaper or is it static?
either way the concept will still work...just that scrolling wallpaper may take you longer to figure out the alignment
if you can post the picture you are going to use and an idea of what you want i can help you with more specific questions

I did something like that when I was using multiple wallpaper but I much prefer the scrolling wallpaper so I stopped using it.
How would this work with a scrollable wallpaper when you see the same part of the wallpaper on 2 separate screens?
This was the screen I had with multiple wallpaper.
The thats the wallpaper Im currently using.

ive actually never seen someone use a "tile" setup with scrolling wallpaper...it can be done but obviously there will be overlapping points..the icons would be on separate screens and with blank images so it would just be the wallpaper shifting not the icons (since they arent visible)
in my opinion, if you are going to use a tile set up it would be best to use static wallpaper...i know you posted a picture of the wallpaper but it doesnt really give me a clear idea as to what you are doing

What Im doing or trying to do is just what that screen shot is. Have a check list type screen to launch apps from.
I found a desktop visualizer addon called dvrimageslicer that I thought was the answer I was looking for but for some reason it only crops images with no gaps on the top and bottom. So it looks exactly how I want it to when I only use 4x1 widgets but when I use more than one widget on the same row it leaves a gap on the left and right sides of each widget.

sorry for the late response...by gap do you mean visual gap or space that you cant click? (like a blank unused icon space)
that setup is very simple
use an app like photoshop to design the layout as a background...then use blank icons as mentioned previously
the most difficult part of the entire thing is going to be getting the spacing right...but that you can done in a matter of minutes

background wallpaper not moving?

Hey, I am running into a somewhat annoying issue with regular wallpapers not scrolling along slightly with the home screen pages. The Live wallpapers seem to work just fine. I have verified that the resize prior to setting the wallpaper shows both the edges for the shift, but it does not do so when scrolling through homepages.
Is this normal for the Note 2?

I don't think the touchwiz launcher allows scrolling wallpaper. If you install and use the Nova Laucher it will allow that though.

Live wallpapers will scroll just fine in Touchwiz and static wallpapers will not. It's normal. Apex and Nova are 2 launchers that allow static scrolling wallpaper.

Cool guys, thanks. Was somewhat used to seeing it on older HTC devices and found it odd that my phone didn't do it.
