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?

Try using wallpaper wizardry to crop and "install"/select your wallpapers.... and I highly recommend using either apex or nova launcher....

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.

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.

Which is odd they can't do it, cause launcher pro has scrolling background and working smooth endless scroll

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.

Its all good man no prob. Its hard to find files that size though. Or even ones that will go down to it.
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
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.
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.

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.
I was about to resize a few pictures I have and make them into scrolling wallpapers but can't find the correct resolution they need to be. Anyone know?
Thanks
I believe it's 1440x1280 somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Ahh thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion but I didn't find an app with that name, the closest one was "Backgrounds HD Wallpapers" but that one does not let you load your own wallpapers, only the ones within the app. I want to be able to load my own wpp and that it scrolls. Thanks in advance!
This is the app i was referring to. Not sure if you can load your own, haven't tried that but the ones in the app let you choose scrollable like you said. Not sure why pic is so small.

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...
using GO since S2(s3 and now Note2) ..no lag.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
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.
