Hello.
Just yesterday I noticed I am just not able to set scrolling wallpaper. The wallpapers are same as they were.. The resolution etc all is the same as it was... All these landscape wallpapers were working fine 2 days back But now I am just not able to set wallpaper for scrolling.
This is how I get to place it as wallpaper now(pic attached). Any idea what went wrong?
M totally stock.

This happened to me once while using a new launcher I was testing.
Try uninstalling any launchers you have besides the stock one. And then reboot.

Yeah I installed a launcher on a friend's recommendation and trust me, i immediately uninstalled it. I simply LOVE stock android.
However, I realized the problem was due to that and rebooted the device. This actually solved the problem.
Thank you for replying dude. This will help others.

what launcher are you using? mines is smooth as butter using ADW EX.
Im using the stock launcher
Yeah I also started to notice it. Very heavy lag too. I switched back to Launcher Pro Plus and no problems yet.

I'm on the stock rom stock kernel stock launcher. My homescreen is good even with the. nexus live wallpaper. I've always found adw to lag. This is y I always return to stock.
i only get that problem when i have a live wallpaper on. that will slow down the screen big time. other then that im all gravy baby
The only lag I have is when I first boot my phone. If I try and move anything on my screen I get told that launcherpro has stopped responding... I click "wait" and 15 seconds later were gold. Annoying yes, deal breaker...no

I've been doing it a bit lately flashing new nightly's and showing off the CM7 3D boot animation to people lol. But yeah it's whatever I suppose
I Used to have the same issue, regardingless if I'm ussing ADW/LIVE-Wallpaper/GO Launcher or something like that. After reinstalling my device on Saturday it works smooth as a new car
On the boot the media scanner slows the phone to a crawl that last longer the more on your sd card you can improve the speed by deleting the folder android from the root of your sd card then reboot. Sometimes the gallery thumbnails get corrupt

I get it sometimes. The best temporary fixes are to use a different launcher like ADW or LP or change the CPU governor.
ICS should enable hardware acceleration of the home screen, which will eliminate this problem, but we won't be seeing that for ~6 months.
On Scott's stock 4.2 ROM with Apex launcher. But I can run Nova if that is the solution.
It's there a way to have a different wallpaper from the home screen on the lock screen? Or do I need to wait for some custom ROMS to get this. I've never tried two different backgrounds but I happened to come across a background that I really like on the lock screen but not so much on the desktop.
TIA

I was able to do it by using wallpaper wizzidri and Go locker (which meant go launcher)
I hope there is a different solution. I'm not much of a fan of go launcher especially on the tab.

Hello , I have this Nexus 4 and for quite some time now I have this issue. Everytime I open the app drawer and I do the first swipe I get lag. After the first swipe everything is ok and it goes smooth untill the widget pages where I get lag sometimes but that is ok. What is bodering me is that first swipe lag. Can I do something about it? I already disabled currents backround sync and still no change. The interesting part is that on nova launcher i never get that but I still wanna keep my stock launcher, I am not so much of a fan of third party launchers...
I get that too but it's okay. It's just the first swipe.

I think the problem is the animation speed. I installed nova launcher free and if I let the nova scroll speed it's not laggy anymore , but If i put the stock animation again I get the first laggy swipe. I am gonna stick with Nova till the next release where probably there gonna fix this
I run tsf shell and next launcher and adw ex 99 percent of the time though so far I've only run tsf and next on my g2. I have experienced the exact same issue while running both launchers. I'm rooted and have over 30 apps frozen including the stock launcher.
I'm having an issue where after running my phone for awhile my launcher will lock up and refuse to do anything, or it will run so slow that it's impossible to use. The strange thing is I can still drag the notification window down and go into settings and do whatever in there and everything functions fine and is smooth, so I know there's some issue with the launcher. A reboot fixes it for awhile but it has come back several times. Another weird thing to note is the launcher isn't force closing. It will continue to run and never force close.
This thread isn't about me having a buggy phone and need to return it (though anything is possible) but it's about me thinking I have caused this issue myself by freezing something I shouldn't and now I'm getting this. At first I thought it was tsf shell so I downloaded next and froze tsf and it happened on next so I know it's not the launcher itself. Based on my thinking that it's something I froze I have since defrosted the LG home app and after a couple hours have yet to have the issue. But I'll keep this thread posted on what happens.
If someone else has had this and fixed it please post...if you are having it and didn't know what to do and you froze LG home try defrosting it and post your results. I know from experience that sometimes these phones on the stock roms can bug out when you freeze certain stock apps so I'm trying to troubleshoot. Thanks.

You obviously missed the point of my thread but thanks for the feedback.

Sounds like you froze the stock launcher and the phone bugged out. Just leave the stock launcher unfroze.. No telling how many lg system enhancements depend on it.
As for me, I never freeze apps. I just remove them using root explorer. Usually isn't hard to find out what apps are safe or unsafe to remove.

I also think it's a UI function that uses the launcher. I have not used a shell and a launcher together before but I'll try it later w/out freezing. The LG launcher.

I also find using the stock home switcher causes less problems.
I am having issues with multiple picture frame widgets on my homescreens with the stock 4.3 or 4.4 launcher. This problem started when I was on 4.3 and carried over to 4.4. I put picture frames with different pics of my family on my homescreens. Recently I had to set my homescreens up again and when I go to place the widget on my homescreen it disappears. The picture frame is there with no picture. I've tried multiple picture frames from the play store and nothing is working. The stock picture frame does not work either. If I use apex or nova as a launcher the picture frames will work. It is only happening with the stock launcher and it's getting to be annoying. Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone have ideas or suggestions?

Bump. At this point im going to change my question since I haven't had any body reply. Has anyone had trouble with widgets in general disappearing from homescreems when trying to place them there? That could at least point in the right direction on trying to fix my problem.

Using the widget for picture album on my home screen without any issue. This is the stock launcher from android 4.4
build, KRT16S. The widget remained on the home screen after multiple reboots and shutdowns.
