Hi,
first of all, sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language
On to my problem:
I'm using RaduGs Tasty Ginger 2.0 and managed to install live wallpaper support.
I installed different wallpapers but when selecting one, they don't give a preview. When choosing one, there's only a black background on my homescreen.
When going back to wallpaper selection, choosing one and then FIRST hit settings, then just go back, i do get a preview!
When i now try to set this wallpaper as the standard one, i'm back on a black homescreen.
This happens with all ROMs i recently installed (radug, elelinux, cronos), but only with lw using opengl.
i tried for example "multipicture live wallpaper" or "Maps Live Wallpaper", they do work.
When choosing "Wave Live Wallpaper" or "Original Flurry Live Wallpaper", they don't work, only as described above.
Is there a workaround?

The Hero doesn't have 3D support so a lot of the live wallpapers you find on the market won't work on it and will result in a black homescreen. And I believe most ROMs use old OpenGL libraries.
To be honest it's not worth installing them anyway, they are very slow on the Hero, and even if they run smooth it brings the rest of the phone to a halt. Not to mention the battery drain.

I know, but the mentioned Wallpaper do work, but only after hitting settings an just press the back-button. only when applied as wallpaper, there's a black homescreen.
If i'm not completely wrong, RaduG uses v1.1 of opengl, so it's up to date, isn't it?

You're right, the g2 is too slow for some of these wallpapers, it's only to play around a bit
But i'm willing to get a htc desire or samsung galaxy s gt-i9000. i'd only wanted to know, if someone else can confirm this to figure out if it's a hero or a gingerbread and froyo thing.

Good to know!! Thanks
Does anyone have a link to a working copy of the nexus s microbes wallpaper that will run on our tablets?
I have searched and can't seem to find one that will work and I really love that wallpaper
Thanks
I would like to get my hands on this as well.
EDIT: Here it is.. hopefully it works.

Please let me know if you get this wallpaper to work on here. I been trying to find this as well
My Tab is Unrooted, anyway this can be installed like any other live wallpaper ?
Pete
Anyone Find anything ?
What would cause it to not run on our tablets and on phones ?
that's a big negative here. apk wouldn't install and the update didn't seem to do anything on my EOS ICS rom.
Got some problem with wallpapers.
After experementing with some ROMS, my default wallpapers have this strange noise;
I tried to install another ROMS, but this noise still here.
Is there a way to full reset wallpapers?

Whats the problem? They all look like that, or are you trying to say that its blurry ?
If so I would try to get another version of that image from the web, http://images.cyberimg.com/android/2012/06/28/jellybean_wallpaper-650x541.jpeg
Try downloading that and swapping the image out.
If the "Noise" persist, then I don't think their is anything wrong with your image.
Hope this helps.
So compare
tau . rghost . ru/40813681/image.png (dont forget to zoom)
and
cdn01 . androidauthority . com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/wallpaper_01.jpg
Difference is more noticeable at png.
By the way, when i fresh install any ROM, this wallpaper looks normal, but when i set this wallpaper again in wallpapers menu, it has this noise;

The two images you linked to here look identical on my screen, they both look fine.

I wonder why you can't see the difference.
plasmon . rghost . ru/40817332/image.png
Please, look at this fragment. I ask my friends about it, and they said that they can see this "noise".
Also, i have a simmilar problem with whole screen. It seems that between the glass and the screen is dirty. It makes simmilar effect on the whole screen, but its not noticeble as this wallpaper bug. So difference between images you can see on any display.
It's all very weird.
Sorry for my bad english

Okay, now I see what you are talking about!
It seems like the one on the right was saved with a lower color depth producing noticeable dithering. I can't tell you why the same image would appear differently with different ROMs though, I have no idea.
I could upload the default wallpapers for you when I get home tonight if you would just like to restore them though.

Thank mate, but i want to fix it permanently.
Is there a way to do a FULL wipe, really FULL? Lol.
So anybody know, where is stock wallpapers folder?
Updating to 4.1.2 didn't fixed this problem.
Hi, I sure hope this doesn't count as thread-necromancy, but my search didn't lead to any other results (except this guy here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817956 - an even older thread.)
I just wanted to confirm this issue, I guess. The stock wallpapers really turned from (more or less) crispy clear to a grainy mess.
I bought my Nexus 7 on release here in Germany, first half of September iirc. Everything fine, no hardware issues at all.
Some day, the OTA Update to 4.2.1 turned up, I confirmed and installed it. The new dropdown settings are cool and all, but...
Yeah, the stock wallpapers got all noisy. The update somehow messed them up.
I use the green one on every Android device I own, so there's no doubt. Noticed it the second the homescreen became visible.
I have no idea why Google would reduce the quality, if that's even an intended change. And, yes, you can simply download the "old, good" version and set it as wallpaper, but it remains a weird issue. Hey, at least we are not imagining it.
Does anyone else have this annoyance?
While scrolling up or down the browser will sometimes zoom in and out of its own accord.
Is there a fix or tweak for this please. ?.
I have tried other browsers, same problem...
It is normal. Touch wiz has edge zoom on the edge of the browser window. I and many others hate this feature with the burning passion of a thousand exploding stars. There is no fix on stock for this known to me. The only thing you can do is invision the fleas of a hundred camels all bitting the genitalia of the nimconpoop who thought this was a good idea.

It's by design and it's gone with the latest JB update (LL3).
I must be one of the few who used this... I mean, it IS an annoyance during normal use but if you pair the tablet with a BT mouse (which is extremely useful to me on some occasions) it's very useful because you can zoom in and out without touching the screen.
Anyway, it works (worked) only on the stock browser, on Chrome, Opera or any other one it doesn't (never has).
Just to clarify, this happens on me when scrolling from anywhere on the screen not just from the side? And with other browsers...
Did they deliberately go out of their way to make it twitchy?

Then you must have some other problem..
I have never used my N8000 under ICS because the day I bought it was the day they released JB for the N8000 ( :highfive: ) so I updated it as soon as I got it out the box but on the 2 versions of JB I have been running the tablet was/is almost perfect.
I recently updated to LL3 ITV (the Italian one) and then flashed through Mobile Odin Pro the CWM 6.0.2.3 (the touch version) to complete the update. The update solved the only problem I had with LJ9 which I have been running since I bought the tablet 2 months ago: the keyboard lag (and a problem in the gallery displaying high-res pics has been fixed too).
Very welcome changes are also more MultiWindow apps (and among them Youtube finally!), the return of the S-Note widget which lets you display a note on the home screen and some other minor features which can be enabled under settings.
Polaris was also updated (the update was previously shown as available in Samsung Apps but attempting to actually updating it resulted in Polaris FC'ing) and now the system OTA update check works even if the system is rooted and has a non-original recovery.
BTW, I usually do full wipes and a clean install but out of sheer lack of time this one time I have updated through Mobile Odin Pro (and have kept root). Everything runs beautifully but, again, apart from the annoying keyboard lag I really didn't have any real problem before too.
What a fantastic tablet.

Yea it still zooms in other browsers for me as well. But if its zooming away from the e6dge try a factory reset id say.
Since the last two weeks or so my wallpapers doesn't scroll anymore. I've read a lot of others having the same problem but with different phones, but still can't seem to find a fix for this. I don't have any rom's installed and the phone isn't rooted. I'm using Nova launcher prime but I've also tried stock launcher. I know Nova has a built in 'scrolling wallpaper' setting but none of the options seem to work. I've also tried setting wallpaper from different apps such as PicSpeed but with no success.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution for it? Although it's kind of a minor issue it's still bothering me a alot.
Anyone got any ideas?
It pretty much depends on the wallpaper you are using, try switching one?

I've tried different wallpapers in different resoultions. Even the stock ones don't work.
