I noticed this same issue with my Note 5.
And it's only this one wallpaper. But a paid one and one of my favorites.
The wallpaper works fine. Then comes root and modified stock rom and every time I open it I immediately get the crashed message for that wallpaper.
Any ideas on where I could start digging to figure out what's going on?
Any similar experience recent or in the past?

Hi all. I've just been wondering... has anyone else besides me ran into countless problems using the Nexus Launcher/Launcher2 on their phone? I'm running Fresh 2.0d with the included .apk, and here are some bugs I've found:
Unresponsiveness
Screen turns black and stays black requiring a battery pull
Launcher will launch without displaying icons in the menu
Now, it is not only Flipz's ROM that has these problems either... it is EVERY ROM I've tried. I'm sure most of you will tell me to use Helix Launcher. I have tried it, but it doesn't have the same feel that the Nexus Launcher has.
Has anyone found a fix for these stability issues? If not, I'd like to start a project so we can get this working, because I'm sure it's completely possible. After all, Flipz was able to get the 2.1 lockscreen working!

I am running fresh2.0d and stock screen turns black and needs battery pull when I use camera app and hit back button or any button.
Launcher has been pretty responsive except here and there....
I do get to the mode where no icons on home screen for few seconds at times but it recovers pretty soon....
As far as the lock screen, I ran in to an issue while my corporate policy forced me to assign lock/unlock password! Soon I enable password and lock, phone stops responding!!! I have to either pull the battery or issue reboot command via prompt!!!
I hope this helps.... I am not a developer though....
I have been disappointed by the nexus launcher's performance as well.
The black screen requiring a reboot (or if you hold home and happen to have settings in the app switch menu you can force kill it and restart it) is a common occurrence with seemingly no pattern. Sometimes it after a long browsing session, other times its happens after deleting a single e-mail message and returning to the main screen. The only consistent way to make it happen is to hit back after launching camera from the app drawer.
Ive also noticed in every rom with launcher, that when coming out of the launch screen the app shortcuts and widgets on the home screen don't load instantly. Almost as if the launcher was killed while it was asleep and when unlocking it, it is reloaded.
It's disappointing because as you said, while helixlauncher is an OK alternative, nothing else has quite the same feel as nexus launcher. Unfortunately I think it will take a good bit of modification to make it a perfect match with the hero and I have absolutely 0 idea where to even begin .
Flipz, if you ever read this, could you offer some insight on this? You've worked your magic on the 2.1 lockscreen
The only rom i had it running great on was Darchlegend v4.1 i think it was, i finally said forget it and started using helix
Every one i have tried has been buggy as well. Things mught improve once we get the hero 2.1 source. Or once google decouples them.
Anyone having a problem with the digital clock stock widget? My widget size is 3x1 and when installed, cuts off the day/date text. Is there a 4x1 size option? Seems like something has happened to my widget. I am latest version, stock, rooted. Anyone else having similar problem? It's very aggravating.

Mine did this last Sunday and has been the same ever since. I have rooted but am still running latest stock firmware

But I believe it's always been like that.
The Day text is cut off and shifted down a line so it shows:
Wednes
day
Rather than:
Wednesday
I don't use a clock on my screens though as there is one in the lower right corner.
EDIT
Ah looking back on some earlier Tab images used as promo's it is clear it should be the Day and Date in 1 line... Not sure what could be causing this. *scratches head*
I solved the problem by going into settings/applications/digital clock and uninstalling the updates. Seems like the latest update screwed my digital clock up. Once I did that, it works like it should and doesn't cut off anything...day/date on first text line, and city on second text line. And, the size of the widget is now 5x2. I knew something wasn't right with the size. That's why it was cutting off the day/date text.
woo hoo.
Mine did that when I tried to set the city name to nothing (blank).
Setting a name fixed it.
I see now that that doesn't work. Sorry for the misinformation.
Can't find any updates to remove to fix widget size.
Re jyams's fix, I've the same problem but can't find any way to uninstall any clock updates.
Is this because mine's not rooted?
The fact that the day is show followed by a comma tells me that the widget size is the problem.
More confused than ever
Just noticed that when the tablet comes out of standby, awaiting the padlock to be dragged, the original, properly displayed time widget is displayed. It has a different font but isn't truncated, it's as if I'm using the wrong widget on the homepage.
anyone find a fix? Mine was normal until I decided to rearrange my Widgets and deleted the stock one now I have this problem.
I had the same issue once, messed with it for like a day trying to get it to work...finally figured out that if I lock the rotation with the switch then reboot, it causes the clock widget to malfunction. Playing with the rotation lock switch, making sure to end up in the unlocked position, then rebooting fixed it for me. Don't know if it will work for you, but worth a shot.

Could I ask a few of you guys do me a favor and try testing out some live wallpapers for me? I installed this live wallpaper and loved the way that it looked. The only problem I was having with it, was that whenever I power off my screen while at the home screen, the system hangs and the screen does not immediately shut off. Sometimes it can take as long as 30 seconds for the screen to shut down.
Initially I was using the stripped Verizon ROM and figured it could have something to do with that, so I went back to full stock and it was still doing the same thing. It's not just that live wallpaper either. Using just about any live wallpaper that is a little graphics intensive causes the issue. I have my screen locked with a pattern, but I doubt that has anything to do with it. If I use a normal wallpaper, the problem does not occur, just live wallpaper.
I don't know exactly what could be causing it or if the phone is just that way by design. I have that same live wallpaper installed on my Dinc and the issue is non-existent. It's not really a big deal, as I have some pretty sweet wallpaper pictures. But the animated leaves look sooooo good.
Hi there! My name is Ben and im owning this nexus 4 phone for a month more or less. Since I bought it this forum has been an awesome place to look for answers as my last phone ran android 2.1. A genius friend of mine installed the paranoid android ROM on my phone for me and I'm very happy with all the tweaks. One thing that keeps bothering me though is that ever since I got the phone, when I try to set a new wallpaper, despite the nice sketch of how it's going to look horizontally an vertically on the phone's screen, it crops only the left side of the picture as a wallpaper, it comes out pixelated and swiping home screens doesn't scroll the wallpaper image. I've tried looking it up online, tried to mess with the phone settings, PA settings, launcher settings, but I just couldn't find a way to solve this. Ive tried the image 2 wallpaper app but it still doesn't put the wallpaper the way I set it and just crops only the left side, just less pixelated. I assume this isn't normal? as I said the problem existed even before the PA ROM was installed and that only confuses me more. Thanks in advance if you can help me! B
p.s. I'm running stock PA launcher, only used it to reduce the amount of home screen pages (now i have 3)
jellybean 4.3 with PA 3.99.

Problem: Cannot change my lock screen wallpaper. It's stuck.
Phone: Nexus 6P, Unlocked (not rooted), Android N (NPD56N)
I'm hoping this is just a bug in the developer build of "N" and will go away when official release is out. Anyone else experiencing this on their phones? Any idea how to correct?
If I knew where the active wallpaper file or code is I'd root and try to get in there and mess with it... but I don't.

Any solution for this? Same thing happened to my 6P last week. Lock screen is different than my wallpaper (which I normally would like!) except the lock screen photo is not centered and is driving me nuts. But I can't change it. Using Nova Launcher, but tried Google Now launcher as well.

Download and use the nexus or pixel launcher to long press and change wallpaper. It will give the choice of home, lock, or both.
