try that script

I assume you mean it's redrawing/reloading.
I had the same problem with LauncherPro when I was running stock with 5 home screens full of widgets...It would be quite delayed simply reloading the widgets when switching between landscape and portrait.
No problem now though since I rooted and Rom'ed!...It's been quite the difference.
FWIW...I hear TouchWiz Launcher doesn't have this problem. jk

I hate it when LauncherPro does that! But, I found a stock 2.3 launcher on the market by eugene373 or something like that, and I don't have that problem anymore.

Launcher Pro allows you to control its memory usage in the advanced settings. If you set it to "High", it will prevent all the redraws. I have 7 screens full of Widgets and icons and don't have any issues.

So that's the cause!!!! I was wondering why I kept getting black screen everytime I went into XDA app. It works for most part, but the only way to get it out of black screen is to hold power (until the menu pops up), then press back to close the menu.
dang sucks i really wanna use it launcher pro is ok but i was really in love with the new TW guess i gotta find a rom that fully supports it or is it not working all together anyone have no or minimal issues with it??????
Don't you have to be on one of the gingerbread leaks. I am currently use the anonymous rom v5 and it works great. I played around with it is buggy. But the home screen and the app screen works. I still preferred launcher pro because I think touch wiz sucks. I have it on my phone just for my Iphone friends.
i didnt kno it had to be a gingerbread leak cause it flashed fine and works kinda on 2.2 but i think ur right ill try later cause for now the 2.3 roms are a tad bit buggy for me

LCD Resoloution?

I used LCD resoloution and it worked...kind of...
It changed the resoloution but i couldnt move the apps out of a certain boundary.
Anyone know how i can get it to work? i'd love to put more apps on one page.
That's controlled by you launcher not lcd density. Go into your launcher settings if on one that has options and find where it says rows and columns. Up the number for more columns(sideways) or more rows(up and down).

Sent from my OG Epic
So i tried installing and it said that ADW Launcher is not compatible with my phone.
Ummm weird.......now i can install it.
That's odd but yeah when that's done press the home button and choose the option use as default and check adw
Sent from my OG Epic
Once that's done it will change your home launcher or your ui : user interface.

quick question about adw launcher though, does it randomly hide your status bar too? (the bar on top withh the time / battery life.
That should be an option in ADW. On a home screen, press Menu -> Preferences. Then it should be pretty clear, if i remember.

May have a swipe gesture set to hide/show status bar and if you slide finger will hide status bar swipe up or down worth a try..also in launchr settings...

It doesn't really but does use a little more than stock launchers but shouldn't be significant.

For future reference, this is a limitation of using a custom resolution with the Market. There's certain resolutions that work, and most market apps will only install with these resolutions. LDPI(120), MDPI(160), HDPI(240), XHDPI(320). Anything else will give you "This app is incompatible with your device". Sometimes you can get around it, other times you cant.

Yeah its adw sometimes it will drain it but go into your running services. Settings>Applications>Running Services. And turn off some things that are running like DRM Services, Sns (if you don't use facebook), .com.samsung.info. android core apps, google services. Etc when your not using your phone these things don't need to be running but will reappear when you need them.
Also quit turning your phone on to look at the battery it won't sleep right if your constantly waking it up....

El29 wallpaper fix?

I've seen a thread on here about scrolling wallpaper being disabled with el29. Somebody posted modified APK, yet it doesn't seem to work, other than it allowing for.different dimensions in resizing. Most custom roms have it working, how do you fix it? I'd like to have stock el29 with wallpaper hack .
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
To my knowledge only miui doesn't have scrolling wp and thats only with certain themes.

Why would Sprint/Samsung disable scrolling on wallpapers?? That's stupid, now many live wallpapers are ruined since you can't see the whole scene.
I would like to know a good fix as well. Even knowing which roms have it enabled would be nice.
You dont need a custom rom to fix it. Just install a different launcher. I use go launcher ex and everything works great, including scrolling wallpapers.
I'd like to keep the stock launcher.
Also when I upgraded to EL29 the microbes live wallpaper went poof and was gone. Had to google it to get the apk to get it back.
Calk 2.8.1 fixed the scrolling wallpaper issue.
+1 I've tried everything to get the scrolling wallpaper back on stock EL29 without going to a custom ROM. I even pm's Calk to see if he could do a zip for that feature, but no response yet.

Hey, can you point me to an apk that works please? Thanks!

I like to use tw 4.5 launcher and even though it is custom, scrolling wallpaper still doesn't seem to work. Getting a custom launcher still doesn't let you properly resize the wallpaper, unless you replace the gallery apk.
I appreciate work by all the devs, but there isn't a rom out there that I like too much. Most of them make visual changes I am not fond of, or brightness settings. I know that both calcs rom and blazer have working scrolling wallpaper and are both on el29.
Am using unnamed now, since it is still very stable and fast. Had to disable updates via terminal emulator to prevent el29 from downloading and notifying me every hour. Problem with that is it also disables profile and prl updates.

Bump, anyone? I really hate that my tw launchers nor none of the gingerbread launchers work. I'm not fond of adw, lp, nor.go.
I flashed the AIO mod and it has working scrolling wallpapers. I think samsung disabled it when they turned on continuous scrolling through homescreens. It looks a little funny w/ some wallpapers to jump from screen 1 to screen 7 backwards.
Edit: make sure you flash the "preflash" zip too or it won't work.

Blend rom scrolls

Don't want to be "that guy" that brings an older post back up to the top, but if I'm wanting to stay stock (I just got this phone, I've had several other Android phones in the past and I don't feel like messing around with custom ROMS anymore)... there's no way to make scrolling wallpapers work again?
I use ADW EX and if I use "Wallpaper Set and Save" from the market, I can get static wallpapers to scroll, but that doesn't help with live wallpapers.
This is irritating!

Flash the AIO mod and then flash other packages to make it stock again. I did that and now have scrollable wallpaper on my story k build. The only modification I have is crt off animation.

Thanks for the tip, but you lost me at "Flash..."
Not that I don't know how, because I do... but I've had a Moto Cliq, Nexus One, EVO 4G, Epic 4G, Nexus S 4G... now this E4GT... my flashing days are done, I'm just tired of the hassle.

Why no touchwiz 4

On the new ics builds i actually prefered this to the other launchers
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
From what I have seen in all of QBKING77's videos they actually do have it. You sure you dont have another launcher set as default? Go to settings, applications, manage applications, then find TW launcher and clear defaults then hit the home button and it should bring up an option. Check set as default then choose TW launcher.
Im on fc06 caulks stock. the last few ive flashed all seem to be tw3 the transitions are 3d in tw4 whilst tw3 is more less just side scrolling through the home screens. btw thanks for answereing my question
But unless i have some weird flash issue this tw is different from the earlier builds
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I haven't used the tw in the ics leaks. What all have u noticed is different? Maybe since they are leaks Sammy hadn't fully implemented tw in there yet.
If anyone needs any help with the epic touch hit me up on Gtalk @musclehead84

Hmm the only thing I can think of is make sure you have it set to show all animations. To do this, go to settings, display, animations then show all animations. I hope that helps.
Okay i remeber this setting but im not finding it on this rom under settings

Okay im an idiot im using the wrong verbage. Im talking about ics screen transitions. This is for sure touch wiz 4 (pan zoom etc...). After doing some search, it seems that this transitions was removed, I'm not sure why. I found a theme thread that had ics transitions back as part of its title, so I think I've answered my own question

[Q] Help

Okay i'm currently running Blazer Rom 4.1. And I really likr the rotation animation like the iPhone or ICS. Anyone know where I can find it and how do I install it?
What are you trying to find?
Transition? Use a custom launcher like Go Launcher Ex or ADW Ex

You know when you rotate your phone, it does some transition like the iphone do? And I installed Go launcher ex, I couldnt find where the transition located

Go launchers transitions are for switching screens and app drawer. I'm not sure about the transition your looking for.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
This is zip to do that for Calks EL29 rom. This gives you the cool fluid transition when rotating your phone. Assuming it will work here as well. Nandroid first. Not my fault if this breaks your phone.
