Hi..
This is my first real thread in XDA and I hope it will be useful to a very specific nuisance in the Galaxy Nexus...
..."making a wallpaper fit in one homescreen"
No matter how you set a wallpaper in the Galaxy Nexus it never ends up fitting whole in one homescreen. Especially for people like me who like keeping only one homescreen.
There is an App that can do this, it is called "Multi Picture Live Wallpaper" app.
You can download the app from the Google Play Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
Here is an example I have by taking screenshots of my Galaxy Nexus....
-- In the first screenshot, the wallpaper was applied normally and only the face shows. :crying:
-- In the second screenshot, the wallpaper was applied using the app, the difference is obvious. :laugh:
Enjoy!
Interested in the below wallpaper? It can be found in this thread...

I was actually looking for an app like that. Thanks!
This is cool. I like how you can select a reflection at the top and bottom

I've been trying to find a good wallpaper instead of the ones provided with no luck. The thing is after the wallpaper being cropped, the resolution will degrade so much.
Is there any special apps or web for installing good wallpaper?
Thanks

I use one called "Tablet Wallpapers"in the market., not a
Perfect app and it doesn't crop that well automatically but most wallpapers have great resolution

Wallbase is pretty sweet, so is stumblr. If you use wallpaper wazardi to set wallpapers all is awesome, as you can portrait or scroll with it.

You can try "Auto resize/Dbd Wallpaper Set" from the market.
Any picture can be set as a full screen wallpaper (without crop or black bars).

I used Tablet Wallpapers a little bit, it's troublesome in the way that it pushes ads through notifications (or it did a couple weeks ago, I'm not going back to that).
Not an app, but the website www.interfacelift.com has wonderful photos that can be used in high res and cropped as you like.
Hey guys!
I'm sure we all love that brilliant screen on the galaxy nexus. So in this thread I would like each person to post their current homescreen (or wallpaper) along with their FAVORITE source for wallpapers!
I always get my wallpapers from Wallpaper Casa HD. ;-)
Little TARDIS love I usually just Google what I'm looking for at the time.

Hi,
I recently bought Galaxy Nexus and installed couple of Live Wallpapers.
I noticed extreme lag after setting wallpapers. The transition fps from page to page is drastically dropped.
Live Wallpapers tested with....
1. Fresh Leaves
2. Luma Live wallpaper
3. Deap Sea and Luminous dots (Galaxy S III - Apps downloaded from this forum.)
Does anyone has this problem? Is there any defect on ICS 4.0.4?
same here, seems like phase beam is the only one that's smooth
Why is this in themes and apps and not in questions and answers? This is a question.... and you eve checked the "is this a question" box....

I was always having that problem too, even in 4.0.2 :/ im android 4.0.4 right now

Those LW are probably not hardware optimized.

It's a known bug. Phase beam is the only one that is optimized for the Galaxy Nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
If you disable wallpaper scrolling it would decrease the lag.. Most Roms have that option.. And launchers.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
It all depends on the live wallpaper. Even stock ones aren't optimized. Confounds me why Google would put live wallpapers on a phone that lag. Anyway look through the market. There are tons of nice ones that have 0 lag and are butter smooth.

Ahmato's suggested solution has been working for me for weeks. Just disable wallpaper scrolling.
Sent from the future.
I can confirm that turning off wallpaper scrolling makes no noticeable difference.
I really wish that google would address this issue.
I said this before in another thread. What I noticed is that the phone puts the lwp before the launcher. As the launcher lags the lwp stays the same. When comparing to my ns4g I noticed its reversed If the lwp is to much for the phone the lwp lags and not such the launcher.

I can confirm that it does. Holo spiral and nexus revamped has always lagged until I disabled wallpaper scrolling in apex launcher.
For example, phase beam doesn't move around when scrolling, does it?
Not trying to start some pointless argument, just pointing out that it does work for many.

You can accomplish this UI with the current apps on the playstore... Desktop Visualizer, Widget Locker, Multi Live Wallpaper and a little Gimp/Photoshop to make the wallpaper and some time... boom you have a very basic UI I think sharp isn't going to go anywhere with this.
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy Nexus CDMA using xda premium
I don't get why they put icons inside of squares. Its like putting an icon inside an icon which leaves you with a 3 column app tray. Think about all the scrolling you'd have to do.
The lock screen is cool and I'm sure the app store will have something similar soon enough.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Lock screen does look awesome.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
its similar, use multi-live-wallpaper and set crop to "Fit to screen" (this is my version of it) if anyone wants it. I personally do not like this UI but I thought i would take a step toward what some ppl want. Ill make the icons 2mrw if you guys want em. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffkbkwgxqvm681a/FEELUI.rar Enjoy!

this is more than just a home screen transition.
nothing out there (that i have seen at least) gives you vertical scrolling on the home screen as well as horizontal scrolling.
also, the lock screen is more than just a widgetlocker theme. the clock wont be on the bottom, and it wont scroll, the lock screen wallpaper wont scroll, you cant slide the lock icon up, and get the options, you dont get the nicer looking missed call/mail/sms pop ups.
this goes MUCH further than just some skin.
I just read an article about this from The Verge and i'm intrigued. The developers created Next interface and seem to be onto something. They feel the desktop is an unnecessary step to get to the app tray. Fair point, why have a bunch of apps then hit a button to get to your other apps? In the quest to be pc-like, Android has a desktop and widgets. Great, but I do see the point being made here. Oh, and notifications were redesigned.

A full port would be amazing. It would become my daily for sure, it's so creative and the design and fonts and everything is so beautiful. I love clean looks.
Would love a port...but its not gonna be out for a while...considering Feel UX phones arent even out yet in Japan.

Very impressed with the slick lockscreen, but not so impressed with the basic UI otherwise. Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, adding lines in between rows of icons is not a feature.

I don't know the icons (look like some google themed icons); however I can tell you the widgets
The weather one is Snow Store (4x2) with the "4x2_brushed_ink_white_hd" skin pack.
The next one looks like Simple Calendar
I believe that's all
EDIT.. sorry I was half asleep when I wrote this
It's Snowstorm***
Looks like a Go Launcher EX theme - I'd look through those in the play store.
It’s still up in the air.
Go launcher ex with themed dock background.
I'm pretty sure it is this from the International SIII themes forum but I might be wrong.
