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 .

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
sent from the near past

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.

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.

Well, to each his own i guess.

ICS Launchers

Apex and Nova...
When I set a wallpaper they get distorted and look like crap. Is there a work around? Even the preset ones look blurry. It zooms in and looks horrible.

I figured out the work around. You have to set the wallpaper in TW launcher, then switch back over to Apex / Nova. The wallpaper and settings will carry over. Not grainy and is crystal clear. Confirmed working. Enjoy.

I use quick pic app from the play store and set the wall paper from there and it works fine with nova.

That works too, but it defaults back to the larger one.
Which then switching to TW launcher and back to Apex fixes it. Seems like a restart of the phone cause it to change / glitch.

Notice this with Apex on TDJ's DigiEvolution. Every restart you'll need to goto TWLauncher and back to Apex to correct the image.
This happens on 480x800 resolution wallpapers and not 600x800 for someone reason (scrollable wallpapers)

I have not had a single problem with any of the ICS ROM's and wallpaper. I do use the AOSP gallery though. You can find a thread in the Skyrocket Themes and Apps section about confirmed working AOSP files. I use all of them. The email can be a pain in the ass to get set up though.

Wallpaper scroll on ICS

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

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

CM9 has it though if you ever go down that road.

What about wallpaper wizardry @ the play store?

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...

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.

scrolling wallpaper

I know this is a topic that has little consequence, but i was using a gallery wall paper and it was allowing scrolling, then i switched to another and was forced to crop the wall paper to a static size. After this happened i went and did a search and found out that the sgs3 doesnt support scrolling wall paper natively and that you need to dl a live wallpaper app to make it work. This whole thing bugs the hell out of me, If my phone was using a scroll before i dont understand why it wouldnt be doing it still. any ideas?

Yes, Wallpaper Wizardrii is the best application for photo screen-savers/backgrounds and I think the best launcher would probably be Nova or Launcher Pro. Good luck.
I just got my SIII yesterday and am still getting used to it, its just splendid!
Hope we helped.
