Hello all,
I am trying out Adw launcher rather than go launcher for a change as i get bored and just rotate! The one thing that is bugging of is that the main wallpaper seems to zoom in every time therefore cutting of a lot of the picture i use! Does anyone else get this and how do you solve?

Use wallpaper wizardrii to set your wallpaper.

Any other suggestions within Adw itself? Or is this one of its flaws?

I think there might be actually. If u set the wallpaper, then switch to tw launcher and back to adw it should return to its unzoomed state.
Can't test it now but when I had that problem I think I tried that and it worked!

Never tried that before. But it's kind of troublesome isn't it? Have to switch launchers back and forth just to set the wallpaper?
With wallpaper wizardrii, it's easy. Just set, select scale or any other options and you're done.

Like title says, was wondering how to make the wallpaper scroll with the home screens like it used to in stock Ginger Sense.
I've tried looking through Personalize and Display and Gallery settings, and can't find anything related to making the wallpaper scroll like it used to.
So when i go to set a wallpaper, it just makes me resize an image to be very skinny and tall.
Thanks in advance!

Sense 3 uses a static background image because of the endless scroll carousel feature of the launcher. This allows the launcher to be scrolled in one direction for an infinite number of loops.

The only reason I can see they didnt do it is when you look at LP is kinda lags when you go back to the other side. It would do that on sense too but with the carousel spinning it might crash it or be way to laggy to be appealing.

Sense 3 correct sizing wallpaper app
Hiya!
For correct sizing I use an app called AutoResize Wallpaper. Its brilliant! It allows you to set your full pic as the wallpaper. No more cropping for sense 3. To apply just choose a pic from your gallery, press 'share‘ button then Autoresize wallpaper and it does it all itself. Its free from the market too
Hey guys quick question regarding apex launcher. I like setting my grid sizes usually between 5x5-10x10 but it seems with apex launcher anything over 7x7 causes the icons to get cut in half, regardless of having the icon labels hidden or not. quite disappointing.. is there any fixes to this? i searched here and on google, and didn't find anything other than other people bringing up the issue.
I purchased the Pro version hoping it would maybe fix the issue, but it still happens.
updated OP with my question re-worded in hopes of any info.. Thanks again for any help guys!
You need to change the LCD density so the icons are smaller.

that will change a whole hell of alot more than just my icon size though. i dont want everything else to change size. I just want a dang 10x10 grid, why is it EVERY other launcher doesnt have this issue? there has to be something else.
Yeah, i never mess with density, but it would work.
Another idea is to use desktop visualizer since it scales. All the really artsy home screen people use it. Pain to have to set up each icon, but it should work.

Nice, that app is kinda like a more useful simpletext type app.

Hello all...
How I can enable my wallpaper scrolling on my ICS..??

You can't. Samsung removed that ability. Rumor has it Apple invented scrolling wallpaper shortly after they developed Fire and The Wheel.

Was waiting to see someone say that, next suggestion will be to use Apex, Nova or any of the new launchers. Unless one of them very recently added it back in somehow, none of these suggestion will work anymore. At first the initial removal of the feature was still working using Wallpaper Wizardry. Somewhere along the lines they got rid of it altogether. Even using Apex/Nova and setting a scrolling wallpaper through WW did nothing.

i was going to mention go launcher too. it is easy to use, and a lot you can do with it. i never see anyone mention it here though
I didn't think of Go... I usually avoid Go products because of the bloat and battery drain.
LauncherPro looks like it's working for scrolling wallpaper. It's just fairly long in the tooth these days...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Lmao, I was wondering why my wallpaper wouldn't scroll. Alot of people are fine with LauncherPro still, even on ICS. If you don't mind it, give it a go.
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.

Cool, what do you like about the Launcher?
If it's the slide effect you like, you will find it in several different launchers these days. Im pretty sure ADW and Apex launcher has them. Maybe even GoLauncher?
The rest is just a live wallpaper and icon setup
Edit: OOPs... a wallpaper and a widget. I don't know how he got it on the lock screen though.
Bazooka launcher perhaps?

Could also be another lock screen replacement like Widget Locker etc.
