Quick question

Can I have a live wallpaper on my lock screen and just a normal wallpaper as my home screen?

nope cool idea though............

ACTUALLY...
its either the 2.2.1 roms or the 2.3 roms but you can set different wallpapers on lock and home.
I'm sure if your using 2.3(?) you could make a live wallpaper, then lock screen could be a regular one;.

I'm running Double Rainbow and just checked this. It looks like you cannot have a live wallpaper as your lockscreen, though you can set a different standard wallpaper.

What are the best tablet size (5x1 or more) widgets? Especially weather forecast.

I find that very few apps/widgets that I have offer a 5x1 or more size.
I can only name HD Widgets as one. Which ones d'you have installed on your Note?
Can anyone recommend a good weather/forecast widget with tablet size available?
I find that using ADW Launcher Ex's widget/icon resizing helps but sometimes makes poor resolution or such more noticeable. Unfortunate. Also, resizing doesn't offer more information to be included. So native support is still the most useful!

Android Pro Widgets and Jorte both have nice 5x5 widgets.
No luck yet for weather, though...

Give "3D Flip Clock and World Weather" a try. I've been using it since I got my note.

I use beautiful widgets and the weather widget on there is pretty nice.

I'm digging 'Snowstorm Weather' although it's only 4x1 - I am using Go Launcher so just resize it to 5x1 and it still looks great.

I am using " beautiful widgets ", works very well with Note. See my screen shot.

I'm using beautiful widgets as well, it has a 5x2 superclock widget.
@skyhew, what skin are you using and which widget gives you the controls on the screen?
Edit nevermind Skyhew. I think you are using HD widgets and I found the settings for those

I use 3D Flip Clock and World Weather. 5x2

This weather app supports tablets so it should do for you

How do I set full screen/scrollable wallpapers without cropping and using KIES???

OK, so I want to use pictures I've taken (or downloaded for that matter) to set as my homes screen wallpaper WITHOUT cropping the picture (or without significantly cropping it)?
Right now when I try and set a picture from my gallery using the TW gallery it forces me to crop it, AND it forces me to crop it in PORTRAIT mode only...when I scroll (using Nova launcher, scrollable wallpaper enabled) it scrolls and shows black bars. So I downloaded and installed the .apk for the stock gallery, which was slightly better as it allowed me to crop in landscape mode, giving me more of the picture.
But, get this...if I'm using KIES Air and looking at the pictures and choose one to set for the wallpaper it automatically adds it, no cropping, full screen...What gives?
tl;dr
I want to use pictures from my gallery for wallpaper, without cropping (full screen), without KIES Air, and to be scrollable.
Thanks dudes.

Get wallpaper maker from the play store...

Gr. Thanks for the tip.
Really was hoping to not need to install another app...not that I don't have the room (ha!), but that's just annoying that I have to. I assume, since the 'issue' persists with the stock launcher that this is an ICS thing?

Have you tried 'scrolling wallpaper' app from market. Its basically a LWP that lets you set any picture you want as a scrollable wall paper. You don't have to crop anything.

Wallpaper Scrolling

Hi Guys, I can't seem to find no option to allow my wall paper to scroll. I use Zedge to download some nice backgrounds and get it changed every day but the pics don't scroll? Have they removed that option?
Ta

As in S3, there is no option for wallpaper scrolling in Touchwiz. You can download third party launchers like Nova or Apex for this feature.

Or you can edit the seclauncher3.apk and enable it
