anyone have problems with the sizing of the wallpaper on adw? got the new update and now everything seems to be shifted down and cuts off the bottom of the wallpaper. the regular launcher works fine but can't seem to get my dl'ed wallpapers to work
Same issue for me and if I didn't like the dock so much I'd go back to stock. There is a partial work around by using an app called multiwallpaper (I think that's what its called).
This app is actually a live wallpaper that can provide a different wallpaper for each screen. As live wallpapers aren't affected by this size changing, you see the full thing. Unfortunately, even if you set to 1 image, it still puts a separate wallpaper with that image on each page so you don't get that moving effect you would normally get with one wallpaper stretching across all the screens. I might be missing something but that has been my experience.

Using SyndicateROM, I changed the wallpaper and now can't get the original pic that came with that, also when using map from live wallpapers, I accidentally taped on the screen and went zoom in a couple of times and can't get back to original view. Also my main concern is when open the drawer use to be black background and now uses the background from what ever wallpaper is.
If anybody can help in any of this I appreciated.

I absolutely hate having 2 separate wallpapers (one for lock screen and one for regular wallpaper). I wish samsung would have at least included the stock wallpapers. Also sucks live wallpapers can't be applied to the lock screen. I'm wondering if the I/o version can be ported to the retail 10.1 because I believe it is more like stock honeycomb.

I believe separate wallpapers for home and lock screens is a new feature of Android 3.1. The I/O devices originally came with 3.0.1 (although there is now an OTA update for 3.1) and showed the same wallpaper for both home and lock. When I updated my I/O device to 3.1 my lock screen wallpaper was suddenly different. So I just went in and changed it to the same image i used for my home wallpaper.
Speaking of nitpicking. Who is the guy that made the "Set as" menu for the wall papers?
You have...
"Lock screen Wallpaper Home screen Wallpaper"
Was kinda confusing the first time I'm looking at this long jumble of words. Needs some extra spacing a divider or something between the two options.
search the market for honeycomb wallpapers.
My lockscreen is widgetlocker so it doesn't bother me at all.
I like it.
However the cropping sucks and not having honeycomb wallpaper is dumb.
I don't understand what you guys are talking about..
just push the plus icon, then go to wallpaper and when you get the "set as" dialog, click "Lock screen wallpaper" and select the same one you have as your "Home screen Wallpaper". What's the issue here?

This. I've downloaded the stock wallpapers online but when they are cropped they look like sh*t. I get a blurry wallpaper that looks like its in 8 bit color.

That is interesting, but I think its a Samsung thing. My xoom on 3.1 did not have that option. I'm going to try rooting and see if someone on the xoom forum will share their launcher.apk. Apparently that is where the wallpapers are stored. Maybe I can just repace the Samsung launcher with the moto one? Idk

I posted this in a couple other threads, maybe we need a "Tips & Tricks" sticky: If you don't want your wallpapers to get cropped, use an app called Wallpaper Slideshow which will let you set wallpapers without cropping them.
Thanks, I will check it out. Will it let me also set my lockscreen wallpaper to the same wallpaper? If not, got any suggestions?

You can set your lockscreen wallpaper from the Gallery app but it will crop it.
Not quite sure what I'm missing, but I can't get my wallpaper to scale correctly. It is consistently zoomed in such that what should be a really crisp, beautiful wallpaper (such as to those bundled with CM 10.1), is instead fuzzy around the edges. I've tried messing with both my launcher (Apex) settings and my developer settings, but to no avail. Any help? What more information should I provide?

Use something like quickpic or wallpaper wizardii or my preferred simple image wallpaper not sure why this always happens but don't fret just use an app and itll scale down properly

I have the same experience, QuickPic provides sharper wallpapers than standard Gallery. Use it to set your wallpaper (otherwise I think the default gallery is better for viewing photos (smoother))
Simple Image Wallpaper Free from the play store works great and very easy to use. if you decide to use it, you wont find with the other apps. long press the screen, hit live wallpaper, and there it is. after that its easy

Im using it but I dont like that you cant choose that the wallpaper doesnt move. When I set the wallpaper, it scales good, but on the homescreen only, on the other screens I have to choose a colour to be shown because the image doesn't cover all the homescreens. Hope you understood me, sorry for my english.
i also found simple image wallpaper free to provide the best visual quality. i especially enjoy its ability to define completely different images for landscape and portrait orientations. that is a stylish effect, and it is very unexpected (compared to usual themes).
somehow, wallpaper wizardrii and other apps which use an image instead of a live wallpaper provoke my n10 to occasionally reset the background to that ugly green leaf... i don't know if anyone has already fixed this since the last time i checked.
Multipicture live wallpaper let's you set any amount of pictures to rotate as the background or you can set a single picture... Works great with no crazy android zooming

Make sure your wallpaper is sized properly for the launcher you are using. If you are using the stock launcher, the wallpaper should be 3966x2560. This will fit your wallpaper perfectly in the 5 home screens...with the center of the image being in the main home screen.
I tried Simple Image wallpaper but could not stand the fact that it always runs and uses 13 MB of RAM. Great program just hate that it needs to run all the time.

Hmmm. I killed the process and the wallpaper disappeared so I assumed it needed to run as long as I wanted the wallpaper to fit perfectly. I will try that thanks for the tip. Weird that leaving it installed but killing it didn't work.....

Ah my mistake. It still does reset. Must have been one of the other wallpaper apps I tried that I was able to do that with

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder, it's just setting the wallpaper (you can uninstall it) but it does it properly. Maybe even with some sharpening, I don't know. The result is simply good.
Search ”image 2 wallpaper” on the play store. Works perfectly for me.

Hi,
In Photoshop I have created/edited a wallpaper that will span out over 3 screens on my Nexus 4. I have cut the wallpaper in three pieces and used MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to set them in the right place. With desktop visualizer I made my wallpaper 'interactive'. *Here you can see what it looks like: postimg.org/image/desh9jh9z
In Nova Launcher Prime I set the scroll animation to 'none' and in Multipicture LWP to: 'slide'. This way I can create the effect that you're scrolling through the water, as if it was one big wallpaper instead of three different ones. I thought I was done and ready to go.
Now here's the problem: The animation does work, but when sliding between screens it looks all jumpy and laggy. First I thought it had something to do with MultiPictur LWP being buggy, or live wallpapers in general but I can pretty safely say that's not the case. When I change the scroll animation in MultiPicture from slide to any another effect it runs very smoothly.
I think the problem is that there in fact is no lag, but the sliding speed of Nova and the sliding speed of MultiPicture are different. When the wallpaper moves at a different pace/speed/time than the apps and widgets, it creates the illusion of lag and stuttering. The animation of MultiPicture seems to be a little slower. I tried changing the scroll speed on Nova Launcher to try and match the speed of MultiPicture, but without any succes. I tried using Apex Launcher instead of Nova, but with no succes either.
I hope I provided enough information to give you guys and idea of the problem. I'm open to any kind of solution, another launcher, another Wallpaper App, I would just like my theme to work as smooth as possible
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone. I seem to have a bit of a problem regarding live wallpapers with the new 7.0 Nougat update. I am currently using the Galaxy Pack app from Play Store as my live wallpaper and I was using it on both my home screen and lock screen. Now here's the problem, after the update I tested out some stuff (including changing the wallpapers) and now I cannot put the live wallpaper back on the lock screen. On the home screen it works fine. When I try to select a static picture as my wallpaper, after I select it, it asks me (Do you want this on your home screen, lock screen, or both?), but when I select the Galaxy Pack wallpaper it just sends me on the app's menu where I click set wallpaper and only the home screen one applies. I have tried different launchers including Nova launcher (The one I currently use) and Google Now Launcher, but nothing lets me put the Galaxy Pack LW as a lock screen wallpaper. Please help.
Also on a side note, does anyone know how to set the settings, quick settings tab, etc. on dark(black) theme? I hate all the white of it. Is it possible to do this at all? (without rooting)
Just downloaded planety of live wallpapers. None of them is working on the lockscreen, nothing really can be done here. But changing theme to any other colour is simple, just open the Samsung themes app and set the dark one.

All right. Thank you for responding. I hope they fix the live wallpaper problem soon. And many thanks for the dark theme. Cheers.
