everything was good and then suddenly the icons and the text has been burried under so i need to touch it by judging what it is from the icon.
please help.!!.

Can you post a screen shot?

Could just need the simple icon size adjustments in adw?
" once its gone,its GONE."

Well I use go launcher and I have the option to turn off the names under them, so is it possible you've click on a similar setting in adw?

I checked everything on ADW,nothing works.how to take screenshot ?

Depends what cyanogenmod you have. If you have 7.1.0.1 then hold the down the power button and select screen shot. If not then you'll need a screen shot app

Ohh thank you so much. You guys are wonderful. I did something and now the icons are showing in full.
Is it possible to have live animated wallpapers as background on home screen ?
if yes, will that slow the entire phones operation.
The reason i'm asking is this
I tried overclocking and after reboot the phone was working ok,but i don't notice any faster than before.

Well when you overclocked did you select the "Set at boot" checkbox because else when you reboot the phone slows back to default speeds. Also, to enable live wallpapers long-touch a blank space in the home screen and touch "wallpapers">"live wallpapers" to select one. The default "nexus" one works fine with little lag for me on the overclock settings shown in my signature

Thank you so much Matt.
The overclocking is now working good,yes i didn't ticked the CPU set at boot. ON live wallpaper-- when i click live wallpaper all i see is google maps. and nothing else on the list.
I guess i have to get a seperate live wall paper.
Do i need to reboot my phone to make the CPU overclock settings to be implemented ?.
Thanks once again.

You need to push it as a system app and use Fake GPS (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps) to get the location working. the MyWater background keeps force closing the need to port that over.

thank you, would be good to be able to port MyWater too.
Is anyone able to do it?

Actually for the wallpaper all you have to do is turn off the auto-rotate option from the wallpaper settings and apply it. If you'd like the auto rotate setting you can go back and apply it without crashing

I got it working but the only thing is that the weather is in celsius even after changing it to fahrenheit several times.. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know

Help with setting lock screen wallpaper

Hi I've just flashed foxhound rom 0.8 on to my s4 but when I go to change my lock screen wallpaper, the option to choose from gallery is not there. only from the default wallpapers. for home screen the options come out but not for lock screen. Any idea why? I can't Post on the developers thread yet. so if anyone has a solution or could help me post there it would be much appreciated. a couple of guys asked about it before but no one gave a solution.
Thanks.

What launcher are you using? How about navigating to your preferred image in Gallery, then trying to set it as wallpaper from there?

Im using Nova Launcher. Ive tried that too. I can only set as Wallpaper, not Lock screen Wallpaper. I cant ask the foxhound developers as i cant post there yet since i just signed up.

Hmm noticed the same thing here. Previous on TW, able to set lock screen wallpaper from gallery or from settings. Now on Google Edition, doesn't seem to have this option

Note that doing the next few steps will reset your default app preferences, disabled apps etc.
In Settings, Application Manager, hit menu then Reset App Preferences.. read the warning!
This would help IF whatever's causing your problem is actually a 3rd party app that "clashes" (in a way) with the stock Gallery app
edit: also.. if that doesn't help, maybe try changing wallpapers from within touchwiz launcher, THEN relaunch nova

Tried to do what you said adrian, but still no go. When i click on display, wallpaper, lock screen, still only shows me one option there 'wallpapers' . No gallery or option for any 3rd party picture viewer. Could someone maybe help me post on the foxhound 0.8 for i9505 thread?
Thanks alot.

download QuickPic, pretty certain you can set lockscreen wallpaper using that

Correct. Been using that app for two years now. It's way smoother and quicker than the stock Gallery app and has some very useful features as well (excluding unwanted folders etc.) :good:

Wallpaper Motion Effect Option Gone

It seems for some reason I don't get the motion effect option toggle anymore when I set up a static wallpaper.
When I first set up the phone, the option was there. Then after a few hours I tried another wallpaper and now the option is permanently gone. No restarts, clearing theme cache or resetting settings manage to bring back the option toggle. Not even using the same picture.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Sorry man I've searched and can't find anything. Hopefully someone will know but if not, you might be looking at a factory reset.

Go to Settings, Apps then Default apps and then make sure that for Homescreen, the circle for TouchWiz home is filled in.

It works,cheers buddy ?

You're a friggin genius!!! Thank you. That was bugging me to no end.

Thanks, I was wondering where the option had gone! It must have been cleared when I tried the Pixel launcher.

I had the same issue today, where I couldn't understand why the motion effect was gone. Then I remembered it had something to do when I installed Nova Launcher. I tried the launcher but I didn't quite like it so I deleted it. I went to settings and checked if touchwiz was checked on and it was not. Always Make sure touchwiz is your default home screen. Simple little thing that can really make you go nuts. It's working great now.

Perfect Solution

That worked for me too. I was thinking they removed it within a update patch.

Motion Effect Issue
Hi everyone,
I called Samsung technical support and they told me within 2 mins now to fix the Wallpaper Motion Effect Issue.
These are the steps to follow..
1- Settings
2- Apps
3- The top right hand corner has a tab with 3 dots, hit that and go to "Default Apps.
4- Go to "Home Screen
5- Final step is, after going to "Home Screen" make sure "Touchwiz Home" is selected. If it's not Select it and that will fix the "motion effect" issue.
??
Hope that helps.

Camera resets my wallpaper to default

Yes, as weird as it sounds. I'm on stock oreo (but I've always had this problem, even on stock nougat) and sometimes when I use the camera my wallpaper is reset to default afterwards, it's really annoying because It happens like 1/3 of the times and I have to keep setting my wallpaper. I couldnt find any information about this problem so I don't know where to start, I've tried with other camera apps and with some of them it happens less often, maybe it has something to do with ram usage (I have the 2GB version) . Any help is appreciated.
Here's a video showing the problem:

It due to wallpaper app has stopped working, maybe due to ram management or as the app in external storage.

Yeah but isn't the wallpaper setting saved somewhere? That way if the app stops working it just looks at that setting and keeps the wallpaper that I set when It starts working again. Maybe the solution would be using a different wallpaper app that properly manages that.

You can try using the system wallpaper app to keep working the wallpaper, just take a screenshot of your wallpaper and the use the system app and save it.

I was using the system wallpaper app but I was using that feature that sets a random wallpaper every day. I have set a fixed wallpaper now and I haven't got any problems so far. I guess it was just that feature that didn't work properly when the app force-closed due to ram usage.
