I guess there is no way to stop the wallpaper scrolling with the stock launcher?
Nope, not with stock launcher anyway...
I've always wanted more launcher options like third party ones have.
i think wp clock has this setting

Hi,
Is it possible to stop the wallpaper from scrolling when you swipe the home screen?
Using stock launcher btw ...
Any tricks?
Doubt it. Only with none stock launcher

I downloaded picspeed wallpapers app from the market and if you set up your own resizing then the wallpaper will not scroll.

Just checked this out, BRD launcher, 7 x 6 grid with resizable widgets and modded pixel density.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390935
Just wondering if anyone could mod the stock launcher to have a 10x10 layout and resizable widgets, possibly with and without the Google search. (or 9x10 if necessary). This is really the only thing I'm looking to change with the stock launcher.. Is anyone willing to give this a shot?
edit:
Yes I know this can be done easily with a home replacement, just wondering if anyone would be interested with the stock launcher. I've used LauncherPro religiously on previous phones, but I'm really liking the stock launcher on this phone..
Bump, because I don't even see this in the forum

Nova launcher and home launcher are basically the stock launcher and can do this

I've noticed significant lag with the Galaxy Nexus and I suspect its the GN launcher. I believe I've tried all the variations of the modded launcher. I'm wondering if everyone else is seeing the same thing?
Do you notice laggy transitions?
Are you dealing with it or running a new launcher?
Which one are you running?
What do you miss from the stock launcher the most?
Do you really like widgets in the app drawer? (i'm on the fence about that one)
Adw ex launcher ftw.

I'm a huge fan of adw launcher ex!!! That was my first thought.
I tried adw ex right away but didn't like it. Was early on though. But I like the stock launcher enoughcit will be awhile before I try again.

Are you running a live wallpaper? A stock live wallpaper? If so, there is the cause of your lag.
I've never heard of anyone having a laggy launcher unless it was when using one of the included stock live wallpapers that wasn't the phase beam one.

There is extreme lag when using live wallpaper that isn't phase beam but even without there is noticeable lag. Its usually stuttering in the animation when going in and coming out of the app drawer or when scrolling from apps to widgets.
Are you on 4.0.1?
4.0.3
Different roms and different kernels and there isn't much of a change. I mean don't get me wrong its not like painfully slow that I want to hang myself or throw the phone out the window but it isn't even close to as smooth as the early alpha of ICS on the GS2
ADW launcher EX
Odd.. I've never experienced lag :/ try using nova launcher
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yup. Tried that as well. And "Home Launcher" which is currently my fav as well as the CM9 launcher. Pretty much the same thing all around. I did use adw for a few hours and that was buttery smooth but they have to make some changes to their folder implementation before i can use that everyday
Using the stock ICS launcher. I need to get around to trying some of the other ones on ICS.
Stock and I suspect some of the lag will be addressed by 4.0.3 if you're not already on a custom ROM.

Nova Launcher Beta7 > *
As much as I like Nova Launcher and ADW Launcher Ex, my first choice of launcher is LauncherPro because, as far as I am aware, it is the only one that has built in widgets for Facebook and Twitter.
I know you can install widget packs like Android Pro Widgets or Colorize Widgets but they all have issues, like jerky scrolling or the Twitter app only showing up to 100 tweets.

guess thats an alright reason
i only use 3 homescreens, *usually only 1* and only ever use 1 widget *beautiful widget 4x1* and leave facebook/twitter to the apps
widgets are battery suckers
and if you need to see more then 100 tweets on your homescreen you should be opening the app
I'm surprised no one mentioned Go Launcher Ex, especially when it's free and provides a LOT of support. Check it out, it has very awesome animations for everything. Only downside right now is a bit of lag when opening the drawer, i'm sure that will soon be fixed.
Nova launcher. Best one. No lag. 4.0.3 custom and Franco kernel
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I use ADW.Launcher EX cuz it supports more than 16 apps using the built in Folders feature. Also icon skinning support.
I can't believe the stock launcher can't hold more than 16 apps in a folder... wtf is this, iOS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Has anyone been working on this? I like the tw widgets and the ease of the ics widget/app drawer. If not i am pleading to the wonderful devs. Is this possible?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
You can flash Calkulin's E4GT 2 Rom. After first boot you can choose to use TWLauncher as your default launcher. If it doesn't work, go to
Settings>> Manage Applications<< Scroll down to "Launcher" and clear default

I know that.that is not what I'm asking.I'm asking about a blend between ics and tw. Using the general tw launcher with the app drawer from ics that way the tw widgets arent sized all messed up.

modifying the app drawer to behave like stock ics would have no impact on widget size.
the stock tw widgets are obviously not compatible with the ics launcher because they are made for TW. so again i would like to see a modified TW launcher with the ics app drawer....

I think there's some confusion going on here. Widgets are not all necessarily launcher specific. There are some that are optimized for a certain launcher (as in TW) but that doesn't necessarily regulate them to only being used on that specific launcher.
If you're looking for an ICS look and feel I'd recommend either Apex or Nova from the Play Store.
My personal favorite is Apex. If you're worried about keeping the widgets looking nice you can long press a widget and then resize it. You also have the ability to customize the number of rows and columns to get it feeling 100% perfect.
Nova has a lot of the same things and some people prefer it over Apex but most of the advanced features require you to buy the pro version.
Here's a screenshot of a TW optimized widget I resized in a variety of ways using Apex.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
I'm on nova and I changed the number of columns and rows to Max and added force allow to resize Widgets so I kinda have them working

I haven't been able to get wallpaper scrolling to work on APEX and NOVA launchers but it does work with GO launcher EX. I have tried to set wallpaper using app-Wallpaper Wizardrii™. Also tried using the TW to set wallpaper and then change my launcher to APEX/NOVA. Still no scrolling.
Any ideas?

Apex scrolls for me, but it needs to be enabled. In the Apex settings, under Homescreen section you have to enable multiple screen scrolling or something like that.
It depends what ROM you're on....I heard its mostly disabled since Samsung got sued over it. Works on cm9 with trebuchet and nova.
