Hubs on ICS with Nova or Stock launcher - Xoom General

Hey Guys,
Has anyone managed to get the Hub look, ie. Multiple Live Wallpaper, etc. Working with Nova or the Stock launcher? If so, what settings did you use? I'm trying but can't get it working.

For me multi live wallpaper is working fine with stock launcher.....
Add 5 different wallpaper from the screen settings and in the advanced settings use "force 5 screens"....

Got it working, thanks for that.
All I need now is to be able to do what ADW lets you do and that's be able to link to other screens with a widget and then I'm set!

Let me know if you figure out a nice way to do this

Where do you find that option for advanced screen settings? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Not adding from home screen or changing from display settings menu.

you need to install "Multi Live Wallpaper" from market. This app has advanced screen settings.

Solution to avoid cropping wallpaper

For all of those asking this question i have found a solution. In android market download the free live wallpaper "multi picture" you may find it by simply typing live wallpapers in the search bar. When you go to set the live wallpaper click settings and change the picture source to the the image you desire and set the transition effect to none, then be sure the pic size is set to full screen. This will give you any full image as a solid background with no resize or cropping needed.

I am not sure if it is when you are running stock. I am running tabooney custom rom which is deodexed and has several tweaks including kernel tweaks. It doesnt slow anything on mine. All i can suggest to you is to be sure that transition effects is set to none within the settings menu of the live wallpaper itself.

Nice App
Great Tip
It even puts a different desktop on each screen. I love this app.
Thanks Much
Another way of doing it is with Wallpaper Wizardii:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&feature=search_result
The app works only in portrait here but sets the wallpapers just as it should. You can select for the wall to be scrollable or not plus other fine tuning options.
Thanked for the tip, the wallpaper scaling was just downright horrible before

let me try. whenever i use Launcher set wallpapers (Nova in my case), the ink effect does not work. For me to use it, i go to display and set home screen and lockscreen to wallpaper. I get the stock ones, and PLAY's wallpapers (4.1.2 not yet available here in my country/carrier). select anything but the Live Wallpapers; then go back to the lock screen settings, and ripple effect should not be greyed out.
Get your S-pen out and give it a whirl, erm, splatter. HTH

Silly question about wallpaper

Alright guys
I recently installed Omega Rom on my I9505 and for the life of me I cannot remember how to make the wallpaper stay centered. It seems to be going off to the side as if I have other pages on my desktop. I only use one page with icons and a widget and want the wallpaper to be centered. I think I seen an option for this somewhere but cant remember where.
Anyone have any info on this?

If you are using the default Touchwiz launcher which I am sure you are, it's designed to scroll
the wallpaper. There are plenty of other launchers you can install from the playstore which
have options and settings which can enable or disable the wallpaper scrolling.
When you go to the playstore it's best to install 5-6 different launchers, that way you can
check them out and see which one you prefer.
Good luck!
Good luck!

[Q] Nova + different wallpaper on each screen?

Hi, has anyone been able to set different wallpaper for each home screen? There are I think two apps for that in Play Store, both require changing wallpaper to a live one, but after setting everything I only get 1 image..

Action Launcher

I got my M3 today and like it a lot. However I don't like the EMUI launcher / interface and installed Action Launcher 3 instead but cannot seem to make it the default and it keeps reverting to EMUI. In Action Launcher settings there's an option to make it the default launcher but this doesn't seem to have any effect. Has anyone had this issue and, if so, how did you solve it?Thanks.
Hey there,
I'm using action launcher myself, here is how to make it stick as default.
1. Home, settings, apps
2. Advanced -> default app settings
3. select action launcher

That will work with any launcher that you want to try too. I think it's funny how they seem to hide that feature in settings and it's usually the first major change that people do to EMUI.... I found out from my Honor 5X so I had a slight had start on it. Hopefully they will have the New launcher in the N update that still use EMUI launcher but give you the option to change to an app drawer. That way we can still use the EMUI themes. Once you use a different launcher you can't apply any of the themes.
