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!

Hey everyone I am rooted and running cm6 so I don't have the fps issue. However alot of people have said that when scrolling it is not very smooth.
I have a fix that helps me a lot and I reccomend everyone trying it. I use launcher pro and think its awesome. But I havethe setting that disables wallpaper scrolling. This way tour wallpaper doesn't change or scroll. It helps a lot and looks as fluid as the iphone.
No adwlauncher=bad tip. There are scroll settings if you didn't know. Also clear data/after updates of rc and nightlies. Use darktremor app2sd.
ADW Launcher here.
If you don't use a live wallpaper, the app drawer = very smooth.
Scrolling between homescreens is smooth on Cm6 as well.
And you can even mess with scroll settings in ADW Launcher. I got it to a point where I like it.
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.

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.
Ok my favorite launcher is go launcher just because of how customizable it is! I find myself using the regular launcher and Zeam alot because they are quick, they would be perfect if you could hide apps in the app drawer. As far as just having something minimal.
I like Go Launcher becuase it has alot of free themes and you can mix and match all there icons and what not. What annoys me is on the Homescreen when you flip the phone the icons wont show back up half the time until you tap the screen. I mean ive tried every video tweak compiled optimized kernels and the only thing that has fixed this problem is the ICS flip animation in bobzhome's new rom. Im thinking becuase the animation refreshes the screen after the flip, but as soon as i turn animations off in display the icons disapear as soon as i flip the screen. I mean im running at 840mhz with 350mb ram free and this happens!!! Does anyone else have this problem or know a fix?
Edit: nvm
Use Simple Image Wallpaper Free. Works like a charm.

Great,fits perfectly!
Awesome stuff. I use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to do the same thing. It seems this one does something similar, just a lot less options?
EDIT: just tested this out and it is perfect. Couldn't be simpler. ALSO there is no UI lag when used with the default Touchwiz Launcher! Usually there was always some lag using Multi Picture live wallpaper with the default launcher.
