Long press wallpaper settings doesn't pop up. - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on Cyanogen 7 stable mod. I have changed wallpapers several times, usually between different stock Cyanogen wallpapers by long pressing an empty area of the screen so the wallpaper menu pops up. I changed to a picture I found online by long pressing the picture and clicking set as, and then wallpaper. I can still change wallpapers using this method, but now if I long press an empty area on my screen the wallpaper menu doesn't pop up. It makes the vibration as if the menu would pop up but it never does. I have tried resetting and tried changing to a smaller size picture, but have had no luck. I want to be able to access my live wallpapers and Cyanogen wallpapers. Any ideas?

Launcher settings?
Also, wipe cache in recovery. Might help.

I reset the ADW launcher in the ADW launcher settings, and that worked. I don't know why I didn't think of that before. Thanks.

You probably had home screen on lock.

Lock Screen Wallpaper Selection - Access to 'Wallpapers'

So through Settings -> Screen -> Lock screen heading / Wallpaper does not provide a method to access the stock ROM wallpapers. You can only see what is in the gallery. For me its all the pics from my Nook Magazines.
The funny thing is the default setting is one of the stock wallpapers. Am I missing a step, a backdoor, or app to find/access/extract those wallpapers for general use?

Lock Screen Wallpaper.
Awe, I have been using ADW home. So that was not an option there. thank you!

ADW EX & Multi Live Wallpaper

I'm having a problem with ADW EX and multi live wallpaper. I've set up different wallpapers for each home screen but in ADW it shows the wallpaper for the center screen on all of the screens. If I go into the default honeycomb launcher it correctly shows the different wallpapers on each screen. It's clearly a problem with ADW. Is this a glitch or is there a setting I have to find and change?
Adw ex settings - general behavior- animation and effects - make sure check mark is checked on wallpaper scrolling. Looks real nice with multipicture and adw both set to cube.

Thanks a lot! That was the problem. I don't remember turning that off but I might have by accident at some point. I however have another problem. I just booted up my tab and all of the widgets in ADW say 'Problem loading widget' do I have to delete them all and recreate them?
edit: For anyone having that problem, you apparently can't set custom themes because they cause your SD card to not mount right away when you boot.
When you first boot up it takes widgets like desktop visualizer and some clock widgets a little longer to load. The tab has a startup process and they are the last to startup. Usually give your tab a minute for them to load and your good to go. You will only see this after booting up, not when waking from sleep.

can't change wallpaper

so I installed the latest update for TiBu, and I performed a system backup. after completion, my wallpaper reverted back to stock, and when I try to change it by long pressing on the home screen and selecting wallpapers, I get an error message saying that the "app is not installed".
I also tried going into the gallery app, selecting a picture, and choosing "set picture as", the app force closes.
I tried using the stock launcher and the holo launcher, but to no avail. I was on the modded framework.apk, but even after reverting back to the original framework (and disabling LMT), I still cannot change my wallpaper. I'm wondering if TiBu had anything to do with it?
Is there an app that actually applies a wallpaper?
thanks!
Zedge allows you to apply then from within the app

Good idea. I was able to get it to work via picasa tool app.
Still odd that I could no longer do it from the home screen.

weird, so this happened again! I performed a system data backup via TiBu, and the phone's wallpaper went back to stock - still cannot long press to change the wallpaper (or change it via gallery).
my only work around is to upload a pic to my picasa album, and then set it from there.
has anyone had this issue? I'm guessing I'm missing some app?

This sounds like one heck of an obnoxious hassle. Are you using a stock launcher? If not, each launcher has their gestures and such for what long pressing the screen would do. I'm assuming you're using the stock launcher but if not, check the gestures on the custom launcher.

Wallpaper Sizing

I apologize if this has been addressed before but I'm a little pressed for time right now. Has anyone else had the issue with their wallpaper sizes being different on the home screen and lock screen? As in when you unlock the device it seems as if the wallpaper zooms almost? If so is there a fix for it? I am currently on Apex Launcher if that means anything.
Thanks in advance

Yup mine does that too.
Using Nova Launcher with a PIN lockscreen and wallpaper set from gallery using a photo taken by S4 camera.
Edit: Just tried with different photos and still same resizing change from lockscreen to home screen. No idea why.

Go to playstore and download an app called picspeed. Use that app to set your wallpapers. It wont oversize the pics like the phone system does. So when you pic your wallpapers from gallery and it ask what app to install with click picsoeed. It has 3 box sizes to choose from. The good thing is you can use any wallpaper in your gallery it dont have to be a download from picspeed.

Can't set custom lockscreen wallpaper.

I'm on AT&T, Cleanrom 1.1, using themer for my launcher. When I go to select a wallpaper for my lock screen, if let's me set any built in wallpaper, but if I try to use a custom picture, it will show up for 1/4 of a second on the lockscreen then revert back to the most recent built in wallpaper. Any solutions?
