Has anyone figured out how to get wallpapers to scroll, besides stock? If not, let (me included) get on this. If there is one thing I love (as much as theming) it's wallpapers!
Haven't found one either. I miss that feature.

Get the app called Scrolling Wallpaper (crazy right?) from the market. Seems to be made specifically for the Galaxy S3 and it works great.

to bad its now working with live wallpapers
If you use a 3rd party launcher, like apex launcher [been using it on my Evo] and confirmed to scroll the wallpaper on the G S III.
If you do infact use apex launcher, just enable the scrolling option in the settings.

I tried apex with no luck. Yes, you can scroll default and live walls but not ones selected from the gallery.

You went into apex settings > home screen settings > wallpaper mode > check multiple screen [scrolling].
That should work, because my homescreen pic scrolls; doesn't work on live wallpapers though.

I'll have to look into that that. It worked on my wallpapers from my gallery, but not a live wallpaper; the lwp i had when I tried was the luminous dots.
Have you tried Wallpapyrus? That seems to always work when other ones haven't.

I used a gallery app(quickpic) and they seem to scroll fine
I wonder why trebuchet always sets my wallpaper with a bigger image than stock, its soo annoying I wish I could use all these tablet mode mods more often but I don't like how trebuchet always makes the wallpaper bigger and depending on the image size blurry as well, I tried replacing with apex but that launcher does rotate smooth in app drawer it stays black for a couple seconds then shows the apps, so does anyone know why trebuchet does that?

Try Nova Launcher. I don't know why Trebuchet is doing that. It never happened on my N7.

Hi guys,
Just wondering what launcher you guys are using?? I used to use Apex on my One X which was awesome but it seems pretty laggy on the note 2 as does Nova and Holo.
Cheers,

Stock, what's wrong with the stock launcher?? It seems pretty fast and smooth.

No offense, but the stock launcher sucks....I hate being stuck with big icons and low grid arrangement
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Ive tried them all. And always come back to go launcher ex.
Reasons to switch from stock. Landscape homescreen view and customise grid layouts and my main two. Add a clock/weather widget from beautiful widgets and happy days.

Go Launcher Ex here too... Though it seems a little less smooth as the stock launcher, I prefer a custom grid (I use 5x6) and icon resizing over a 4x4 grid with too much empty useless space. Why else would you have a 5,5" screen.
A few good improvements on TouchWiz on the Note2 though, are the ability to sort the application list in the app drawer, and a 5 icon dock when running stock.
Yeah, stock launcher sucks donkeys balls for the reason already mentioned- crappy grid arrangement that you can't change. Have tried Ex, it's pretty cool, very smooth. I do prefer Apex but I'd rather have a launcher nice and smooth than laggy.

I'm using Nova. On the Note 2, it's the smoothest launcher I've ever used.
For those who doesn't know, the transparency bug in nova is already fixed

Nova launcher pro and 6x5 grid, but i miss the context screen on touchwith. When i have some time spare, i test again Go launcher, on my previous phone (Arc S), it unusable, cause it's use too much memory.
I have a page here with a few Android launchers on it, if you fancy trying a few others.
Nova Launcher Premium with Circles theme > than all

Tsf is actually pretty cool. Takes some time to get used to..but what awesome look and feel. And works amazing on this beast.

I hated TW on my Galaxy S and Note 1, so I used Go Launcher, Launcher Pro and ADW EX. But on the Note 2, TW seems the smoothest for me switching between screens and opening apps and the app drawer.
I'm using the TW mod that gives me a 5x4 grid plus the dock on the home screen and a 6x5 grid in the app draw.
There's a 6x5 grid mod for the homescreen too.

Yes, the Nova launcher are the best:good:
Go Launcher Ex All The Way!
Here's Why:
I've also found it to be very smooth and the least glitchy on Jelly Bean.

I just grabbed my note II and compared them, honestly it's really hard to tell but you may be right. TW is the tiniest bit smoother, but it's negligible
What is your favorite launcher, and why?

The launcher is silky smooth but the phone runs exactly the same on nexus 4
On the Int s3 with 1gb ram though yes apps launched faster and the phone performed better as nova uses far less ram than touch wiz and you can lock the launcher in memory for fewer redraws on low ram devices.

I've always been a fan of apex launcher. Is there any reason to pick one over the other? I like Apex's ability to make the status bar transparent and auto hide plus tablet mode with hidden dock.
Themer, Nova, apex, tsf shell, spb shell.

I use Action Launcher for it's nice static "action menu" on the home screen and also a built in one tap search button and side slide menu for alphabetical app list(no app drawer needed)

I like Nova since it comes with the AOSP icon set and easy to change any ones you dont like, close enough to vanilla launcher for me
I like smart launcher. Very simple and organized. Looks great in tablet mode on PA ROM.

Go launcher EX for me, tons of themes.
I use TSf. After using nova, apex, and a variety of others along the way. This is best to me. Costly at $15. But it is great. No more grid pattern. No more 4x4 or whatever. It's free form like a desktop on a computer. Place icons and widgets wherever you want. Stack em on top of each other if you want. Doesn't matter. No limitation on placement. It's great.

Nova Launcher Prime! I love the gestures and tons of customization options!
I just got the full version of apex and love it. I'm in to theming and tablet mode looks awesome and goes along quite nicely with themed search bars.

Apex for me. I like being able to customize grid size and folder icons. It's also compact and fast.
Hi!
I might be missing something, but how do I make my wallpaper scrollable? Basically, unless I use one of the pre-loaded Samsung backgrounds, whatever image I set wouldn't scroll.
Samusung wallpapers scroll just fine. Thanks!
Not even my Samsung wallpapers scroll
I may be wrong, but scrollable wallpapers are wider than the width of the screen.
Check out "Backgrounds HD (Wallpapers)"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ogqcorp.bgh
It let's you set their wallpapers as scrollable. But not your own pictures.
