[Q] Live Wallpaper Question - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
With some live wallpapers that are interactive, I am finding that my Note 2 doesn't respond to horizontal movements with the wallpaper.
Examples where they should work are Galactic Core or GyroSpace 3D. In the videos for each wallpaper, the background responds to horizontal swipes on the homescreen. However mine does not do this. Would anyone know a solution for this problem?
Thanks :fingers-crossed:

you need scrolling wallpaper...stock touchwiz doesnot support scrolling...you need to flash modded touch wiz or use another launcher

Pulser_g2 has uploaded a scrolling wallpaper mod in this thread that should do the trick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34608683

Change Lock screen wallpaper?

Hey guys is there a way I can have a different wallpaper for the lockscreen than that of the homescreen? I know there was an option for this on the GSII under settings/ display, but I can't seem to find a solution for the GNex. Thanks in advance

That feature is not available on stock Android.

Only thing I can think of is WidgetLocker
an app called multi-picture live wallpaper can do this for you:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
it allows you to have a different wallpaper for various home screens and also lets you choose one for the lockscreen. I personally use the same wallpaper for each homescreen, so this app is just giving me a custom lock wallpaper.
Might be preferable over widgetlocker if you don't want to add any widgets to your lockscreen and prefer a stock feel.

[Q] Walpaper zooming in...

I like to select a picture as my wallpaper, but setting it as a wallpaper it zooms in unnecessarily. Has anyone seen this? it is happening on my wife's phone as well.
I am wondering if this is an issue with Touch Wiz, the Gallery, or something else. I have tried it on ALL the launchers and that hasn't helped. I have also tried to lock the wallpaper scrolling, and setting it as vertical and horizontal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You may need to resize the picture to use it properly as a wallpaper

Wt do you mean? I have always been able to take the picture from the gallery an set as wall paper. the phone scaled it properly. This phone it seems like it thinks the screen is bigger than it is. I guess I could try and scale it my self....
Look for wallpaper wizardrii in the market. Its free. Use it to set your wallpaper. Select stretch to portrait.

Scrolling wallpaper

When I got my S3, my wallpaper was scrolling left to right as a was scrolling pages. Now that I have changed my wallpaper, it isn't scrolling anymore. My wallpaper is wide enough. I tried everything to activate the scrolling but I'm not able to do it.
I have searched on the Web and I couldn't find a solution to my problem.
When I choose my wallpaper, it gives me the option to crop or choose which part of the wallpaper I want to use, I tried selecting a wider portion of the wallpaper but it doesn't let me.
Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?

Wallpaper doesn't scroll in touchwiz, you must be mistaken, perhaps remembering a different launcher, device, or rom.

Are you using a default wallpaper or one of your own from like the camera or gallery?
Not sure if this will help but this is what I use and it works great.

So in short, no scrolling wallpaper in TouchWiz launcher...
The backgrounds hd app lets you set scrollable wallpapers.

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.

Lock screen Wallpaper

What is everyone using to set lock screen wallpaper? I use the.stock wallpaper chooser but it like zooms into the picture and its really blurry and not even sharp. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I use a lot of custom HD wallpapers I make from scratch using pretty much any photo editing program. If you make a wallpaper that's exactly the dimensions of your phones native resolution, there is no zooming-in or distortions. However, I don't always do this, and I'm usually generally okay with the results.
What is the resolutions for the note 2 lock screen? And for the home screen??? I'm running jelly thunder so I have a scrolling wallpaper on home screen... I guess I can use Photoshop and make wallpapers if I known the exact resolutions...

Dimensions for a wallpaper image should be 720x1280 (width, height) to avoid any cropping.
