Did anyone else experience this after flashing the ics update? Is there any way to get it back? It just seems strange considering the ics updates/leaks from every other carrier do have the option to set a scrolling background on the home screen. Any insight would be appreciated

In Touchwiz this happened on the maintenance update. They eliminated the scrolling wallpaper, which carried on to the official ICS T989 update. Even though all the ported ICS roms from other phones/carriers have scrolling wallpaper, the official T-Mobile ICS does not.
I've heard you can download launchers that support scrolling wallpaper (never tried myself), but I'm a Touchwiz fanboy, and it really bothers me that we don't have scrolling wallpaper.
I tried to google search a solution, which I found this:
OK if you are having issues resizing the wallpaper in the gallery that came with the new ICS leak then I've got a fix for you. I tried changing the code of the gallary3d apk in both ucle2 ics and 2.3.5 gingerbread with no success. So I found a gallary apk file on the net for android stripped the code made some minor tweaks installed and bam I could resize wallpaper again. OK let me give you some info you need to know...
First you will need the apk file from the link below. And you may want to download apex launcher from the market and here is why...
1. Using Apex launcher you have the ability to resize wallper and wallpaper scrolls again as you flip thru home screens. Apex launcher is a free download from the Google play store.
2. With stock touchwiz launcher that came on the phone after you install the apk file below you will have the ability to resize wallpaper only the scrolling wallpaper as you flip thru home screens still does not work in touchwiz and since I don't use touchwiz I'm not gonna try to make it cause touchwiz sucks anyway.
3. With go launcher, tw launcher, MX home and other launchers on the play store I have no idea. Untested on launchers other than those listed above. So try if you want and report if it works on other launchers if you want.
I have tested this on my skyrocket and it is working. Also tested it on my wife's Samsung INFUSE 4G running gingerbread and it fixed her wallpaper resizing issue to. Also fixes wallpaper scroll on the Infuse using touchwiz and go launchers but that was on the Infuse only. WALLPAPER SCROLL DOES NOT WORK USING TOUCHWIZ ON THE SKYROCKET WALLPAPER RESIZE ONLY UNLESS YOU USE APEX LAUNCHER. Just wanted to say that again so I don't get 1000 messages saying my wallpaper still won't scroll using stock launcher.
Now one more thing if you install the apk below like normal just open and install and you still have a problem resizing wallpaper then try this... you must be rooted and have an app installed that lets you get to the root folders. I use rom tool box lite free from Google play but you can use whatever root file explorer you choose. Open up root explorer find the apk you downloaded below and copy it. Then navigate to the system/app folder and paste it there. Use rom manager also free from Google play to fix permissions reboot and it should work. But try the regular install method first. As I said this is working for me on both the new ics leak on my skyrocket and on gingerbread on the Samsung infuse...
Thanks to xcraxydx for providing a couple of apks that I needed....

This person uses a different phone though (SAMSUNG-SGH-I727).
Nova launcher will give you scrollable wallpapers.... and a little bit more of a ics look.

I really love the ICS style folders where you can see what's in them while they're closed.
Is there any way of getting this functionality in a custom launcher?
And while you're at it, what custom launcher would people recommend I've had a look at ADW, but the lag (even though it was slight) frustrated me to no end.
I love how the default launcher is so smooth, but I really want to get rid of the google search bar (without using the method that disables google search).
There's a version of the SE Xperia launcher that works on non-SE devices and has the same folders as ICS. I just don't have a link right now, sorry. Maybe search for Xperia launcher 2.3.4. There's also an older version of that launcher with different folder where you can't see whats inside, so be careful to pick the right one.

Dear all,
I want to learn that how can I add or remove additional homescreen pages from Galaxy Nexus. There is no information about this even google. Before there was an icon for displaying all homescreen pages and you could add or remove new homepages.
Thanks,
What launcher are you using?
If the answer is stock you cannot add or remove pages.
you cant add or remove homescreens on the stock launcher
if you want to do that, you need to install a third-party launcher from the market
I have tried Nova launcher which works pretty well and is based off of the stock ICS launcher
I am using original firmware, not custom rom and it is pure ICS. What do you advice to me for modifying homescreen pages,
Regards,
Since you're bone stock you really only have the option of using another launcher i.e. nova, apex (they use the resources from and function just like the stock launcher with added options) or adw, go, lp+ and many others. If you end up on a deodexed rom then you have the option of editing the "stock" launcher yourself By reading this.
good day.
Thank you very much for your replies and advices, I installed Nova launcher and i can organize them now.
Thanks again.
How is Nova? I'm currently on adw ex and was eyeing the "tsf shell" does Nova live up to the test?

Is it possible to apply full image as wallpaper without cutting? How can i make on stock 2.3.5 when sliding homescreens to slide the image?
That isn't possible in the newer versions.
Try this app....it's what I use and you can anything with wallpaper, THE best Wallpaper App for Android...awesome.
Here is the link to Market (it's a free app)

Also attatched the APK
cheers

Wallpaper scrolling is disabled in the later gingerbread models but you can try using a different launcher which has wallpaper scrolling as a feature. I know launcher pro has it but go launcher or ADW should have it as well.
I've installed August ICS from sammobile and I wonder if anyone tried to change home wallpaper with it?
It doesn't let you choose the whole image from the background gallery - it requires you ty cut it to the size of the single screen.
this makes it impossible to have background with perspective.
Any workarounds?
Ics period forces you to do that. I made it work though, changing my launcher settings (Holo Launcher HD) PM me and I'll explain when I get the chance.

Thanks,
I was able to add wallpaper from QuickPic (add as -> QuickPic wallpaper)
ICS Gallery app is broken
PS and I'm using ADW Launcher
I hate how ICS forces it. I had to do a lot just to make my background a picture of me and my girlfriend.

Deleted my s planner widget in the process of debloating my bell 4.1.1 rom. The application still works, the widget does not show up however. Does anyone have a copy of this widget they can upload. Ive been searching for a while and found a old version of it but that didnt seem to work so I am looking for the one that comes with the 4.1.1 release.
Thanks
just download one of the k3 based roms from development and copy them out of the zip file.

Are you sure you deleted it then? The S Planner 4x4 calendar widget only works on TouchWiz launcher. If you use any other launcher (Nova, Go Launcher, ADW, etc.), then only the smaller 2x1 widget shows up. That's because some of the Samsung widgets make use of the TouchWiz framework, and other launchers can't do that.
I'm using ADW right now, but I really like the large S Planner widget. I considered going back to TouchWiz, but I'd lose some other features that I like (like scrolling wallpaper).
So that explains why I can't see some of then other widgets when using nova. For example, I think the weather widget isn't available.

It is infact deleted. I checked the subdir its supposed to be in. I must have deleted it when I ran a debloater. I am on 4.1.1 with touchwiz only and I have root. My data plan isnt very big and im working of my phone right now so I thought someone may be able to pull it off their phone and upload it. Pm me if you are able to do this.
