Apex launcher home screen wallpaper issue

Hi
I am running the Apex Launcher on my GS2. Every time i restart my phone the home screen wallpaper shifts halfway horizontally so only half of the wallpaper is visible and the other half is just black.
Any help on how to fix this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks

The problem has already been reported in apex launcher thread, and it has wallpaper zooming issue too, its upto the dev to fix it in the upcoming releases.

Nova Launcher Wallpaper Help

Help Regarding Nova Launcher Wallpaper cropping:
As of late, my wallpapers are not cropping correctly.
The ONLY way I can get a wallpaper to look right is if I use WallBase and set the wallpaper from there. Otherwise ANY OTHER APP (holding down the homescreen and choosing dfault CM Wallpapers) where I try to set the wallpaper using NOVA WALLPAPER or the default cropper, no matter how I crop it, the cropping will always shift over drastically to the left.
It's almost as if I have 2 pges on my homescreen but I don't. I only have one.
I am on CM Nightlies current for the Nexus 4. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Figured it out! I had one homescreen, but under WALLPAPER SCROLLING, I had it checked for REVERSE. I checked this OFF now, and my problem is solved.
leaving this around here for anyone who might've ran into the same issue.

currently we just can set the lockscreen wallpaper only. Even using the 3rd party launcher, we cannot set the wallpapers...
I really don't get this from amazon, this is 2014 , and we still cannot just customize the wallpaper ? ha ha

Use Vire Launcher.

Vire
Vire launcher does not let you change wallpapers... You can change the theme and the background will change with it, but you can't change to custom backgrounds...
Unless someone else found a way to do so?

Buzz launcher offers full custom background support, and makes it feel more like an android device. Also, if you haven't already, get the playstore... None of this requires a root. Instructions are here:

Yes... But no widgets.

Still better than the terrible stock Fire Launcher though... And all the launchers that DO support widgets are stuck with an UGLY plain black background! At the moment, buzz launcher is the best option, until someone either develops a new launcher, or updates an existing one to make the "background" to not be dependent on the system background, but rather be an image placed ON TOP of said background. This would in effect bypass the whole "No background" problem.

Once I installed the Google Launcher and playstore I didn't feel held back anymore from the phone and switched back to the Amazon Launcher. It's my preferred launcher now. I recommend everyone give it a true shot. I just wish they gave us an option out of the box as I feel more people would have tried it out then.

Default wallpaper is cool, i think its not necesary to change it

Lightning launcher extreme allows for custom wallpapers (with advanced settings option turned on) AND widgets. Works beautifully!

Launcher Lab
You can only use built in widgets but launcher lab works great and has many themes like themer, have been using it for a month with no forced closes.

Buzz has been the most stable for me themer crashed a lot I'm stock unlocked also glove box dock is really nice on here

You can change your background now if you have updated to version 4.6.1 You can choose from some wallpapers or your own photo. If not, then try Buzz Launcher, which is the only launcher that i've found so far that has a customizable background. Hope this helps!

I am using nova launcher prime 4.0.1 I think and I have wallpapers/widgets working.

Google Now launch lets you change wallpapers and most widgets seem to work fine.

Lockscreen Wallpaper

hi guys,
so ive just came from a galaxy s4. oneplus 3 is a masive step up. This may sound stupid but how do i change the lock screen wallpaper, there where many ways to do it on the S4 but i just cant find a way to do it on the oneplus 3, thanks in advance

Long press empty space on display, pick wallpaper on lower left, it shows 2 wallpapers and you toggle between lock (L) and home (R)

I tried and could not for the life of me find where to set lockscreen wallpaper, I can only find the option to change desktop to whatever I wanted.
I CAN however, change the lockscreen background to one of my ugly photos that I took, but not the stock wallpapers if I use gallery to set it.
The main thing I really wanted to do is to change the lock screen wallpaper to a dynamic wallpaper called Starfield 2, it is a black background with start wizzing by type of wallpaper, and more likely than not it would be saving energy on an AMOLED display. Plus, they just looked so much better than a standard bright and colorful wallpaper that never changes.

I dont think u can do live wallpapers on the lockscreen
Sent from my OnePlus 3

I uninstalled the stock gallery already so I can't check there, but if I go into my gallery (QuickPic) I can select a picture, then go to the top right three dots, "Use as" and then I have to option to set it as lockscreen picture.

not on oneplus 3, but you can do that easily on Sony Xperia Z2 and other products (I got Z2 and Z4 tablet here, both does that just fine).

Does anyone know, how to change wallpaper without stock launcher?
Or better, how to set system to use the same wallpaper for lockscreen as my launcher?

I know that this is an old thread, but I'd like to see on lockscreen the same wallpaper I set on the system.
Is there a way on OOS 3.2.6?

same way you set your home screen wallpaper

Anyone found a solution? I want to use the google wallpaper apps daily backgrounds but it can't apply lockscreen wallpapers, only homescreen. Can we just delete the lockscreen wallpaper with a root explorer?

I have had the same issue with weather coming and going at random with Nova launcher. I mentioned it in the Nova launcher for Google + but did not get any feedback on a fix. Would love a fix if anyone has one. Nova launcher is my go to launcher but in the Nova Google + all they said was to use a weather app and widget. I have other weather apps but don't need another app for something that Google already provides and works perfect for what I need.
