I have a T9 Android box and cant stand the default launcher and just layout of it.
I am wondering if anyone has or is using a launcher for their Android TV box and would recommend it. I tried a couple like Nova and ATV but found I couldnt use a wallpaper and have it resized properly as the launcher would zoom into it and distort the wallpaper. If I viewed the wallpaper through the Gallery app or even within the launcher, the picture was centered and looked amazing but once it was set to the home screen the image became zoomed in and completely distorted.
Anyhow, Id love to simply change the GUI of the Android TV box I have and would appreciate any recommendations and potentially a way to fix the wallpaper issue I was having.

good wallpaper an archos gen 8 is a pain, the stock wallpaper system does indeed zoom your pics and looks blurred (slightly better on png than jpgs) , you can try over laying you own pics onto a larger canvas putting it sort of top right but i find this very hit and miss 2 apps can solve your problem but both have issues .
multipicture live wallpaper is one way and can give excellent results if set up correctly. You can have single picture for all home screens (works best if scrolling disabled) or a dif picture for each home screen which i find a bit slow.However the drawback is battery usage, and delay when coming out of heavy use app like browser.
The other one is crop wallpaper app which has centering issues on most launchers but works quite well on go launcher ex but has issues crashing quite often, at least on my 70 250gb ! i have tried them both with very impressive homescreen results but have gone back to stock wallpaper in favour of stabilty and superior speed
good luck
i have used a variety of aftermarket launchers like nova,adw,go etc on stock ROM and cm10.1..
the issue is whenever i select a wallpaper through any of the launchers (Samsung touch wiz as well) it only selects a very small region of the wallpaper....(in some launchers the central part,in tw a custom part)
it really bugs me that the default selection area is so small that it hardly the resembles the original wallpaper selected
further i can see some pix elation.. the gradients are not smooth it looks really bad..
i have tried changing dpi for the particular launcher but it never helped.
PLS HELP!!!

use wallpaper wizard or auto resize wallpaper app from play store
I'm currently using GEL and just have one homescreen/pane.
When I set the wallpaper to a custom image, it seems to be setting my home screen to the left most pane and not centered, like when I choose one of the default wallpapers that comes with the launcher. Any ideas?
The alternative I found was to add widgets so that I can get 5 home screens, and then the default homescreen is finally centered. But I feel it defeats the purpose.
Hi,
Not new to XDA but new to this section. Bought a 10.1 yesterday and so far I am happy with it apart from 1 thing. Whenever I set a wallpaper it gets zoomed in. Even when I chose in Nova Launcher that it should be static. I know why it zooms coz it needs to fit the wallpaper so it scrolls.
Is there any way to get the wallpaper to look like it looks in the gallery?
Tried Wallpaper Wizardrii but can't get it roll the way I want it to.
Also tried Image 2 Wallpaper and same as above.
Also Zedge and Kitty Play won't play ball either.
This is super annoying.
Suggestions?
I think I might have solved it myself.
In the gallery when you do "set as" I chose Nova Wallpaper. Then it shows as a static wallpaper in its correct size, no zoom.
Yesterday I installed Pixel Launcher on my OP3.
I'm running Freedom OS 3.5.5, Stock kernel, root & xposed.
Whenever I make a New tab next to my homescreen my homescreen turns blurry, restarting doesn't fix it Unfortunately.

Change your wallpaper
The blurry wallpaper is due to the stock launcher, that blurs the left page to the assistant and the effects remain in the rest of launchers (I was about 1 month to realise of it lol), my solution was to apply the wallpaper from the wallpaper chooser of the app (in my case the nova launcher), hope it helps you to solve the problem!!
