How To Make Wallpaper Scrollable in Sense 3 ROM?

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.

Hmm interesting to know. Thanks though!

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

When setting a wallpaper, are you touching and dragging the orange lines to make the box bigger?

If you want the wallpaper to fit perfectly you need an image that is 480x800. Then the entire image will fit the screen.

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.

Lock screen does look awesome.

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.

Icon Size and Text removal AKA Bigify for Android?

Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:

This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.

Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

There's one launcher that'll let you have the customization you want. It's rather expensive though.

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.

I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.

+++ This site is sick. Awesome selection of wallpapers to fix any resolution. Thanks for posting this!

You can also do an image search in Google restricted to 720 x 1280 and get a lot of results. Lots of screenshots but also some nice wallpapers. Here's two I liked after a quick search...

What I usually do is look for wallpapers that are BIGGER then the note 2 resolutions, then I use photoshop to crop/transform them in to exactly the right resolution for the note 2.
If I do it like this, the note 2 doesn't have to resize and the wallpaper will remain crisp.
Touchwiz doesnt support scrolling wallpapers anymore ( :crying: ) so that resolution would be 720x1280
If you use e.g. Apex Launcher, you can set a scrolling wallpaper. The resolution for that is 1440x1280.
To me it looks like the stock 'wallpaper setter' can do cropping just fine, but any form of resizing makes the imagequality worse.
I got some examples on my dropbox here
