Hi there,
I was wondering if the version of Touchwiz on the Note 2 has scrolling wallpapers. My Galaxy S II doesn't have scrolling wallpapers and I really miss that functionality.
No, it doesn't. You can use a 3rd party launcher or a custom Touchwiz ROM.

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....

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.

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.

Anyone know how I can get that default Samsung clock widget back when I'm using a custom launcher? I don't see it in the widget list.
Thanks!
I would also like to know!

Samsung widgets are dependent on the Samsung Launcher, TouchWiz. just like the Sense widgets will only work on Sense. Welcome to Android.

Like some other mobile OS can use any widget with any launcher.
Reason I ask is that the stock jb launcher is way faster and smoother than apex or nova but I can't use the stock launcher right now because I use 240 DPI and want 7x6 grid. The stutter when opening app drawer is unbearable. I tried different kernels and even different Roms same thing.
Anything available yet or should I just go back to stock density.

Why not? I bought a nexus so I could implement mods like this. I think the stock density is a waste of the huge display.

Dunno about Apex launcher but with Nova reportedly* you'll get smoothness if you go in to the animation speed options and select stock speed.
(* not my tip - I've always stuck with stock speed on Nova is working fine for me on JB)
I am using the paid version of Nova, which was updated yesterday to support JB animations and it is nothing but butter.
I am stock no root.

What version? I'm on 1.2.2 beta 4
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I still can't quite work out if I find Apex or Nova as smooth as stock, and can thus switch back to them and get customising.
There'a a mod in the themes section. I havent tried it, but it might be worth a look.

That's because stock launcher has nothing in it compared to Apex. I've run 3 JB roms now with apex launcher and Franco kernel. Fast as fast can be. I have to say I am quite disappointed in JB though, I find there is not much to their update.

Tried Nova Prime on a couple of JB roms, set to fast (2above stock) smoooooth transition. Ive never had issues with Nova on GNEX.

Another reason to like the stock JB launcher is the fling to remove apps. Now that should be implemented into every launcher.

Does Jellybean have scrolling a wallpaper option? It's so annoying to find cool wallpapers only to find you have to chop most of it off.

CM10 has it under Settings -->Launcher --> Homescreen --> Scroll Wallpaper checkbox, not sure if that will help if you're referring to TW5.
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.
