After a reboot I could no longer select any live wallpaper anymore all of a sudden. I have tried clearing cache and removing all data associated with the Live Wallpaper Picker but nothing has worked! Every time I am getting "Unfortunately the Live Wallpaper picker has stopped" when picking a previously installed live paper. This is VERY frustrating. I am running stock ROM rooted and have re-enabled all previously disabled apps and have unstalled greenify as well just in case. Have rebooted a few times and has not worked.
What I could remember doing was trying to clear all icons from the stock Touchwiz launcher as I am trialling other launchers. Would I have accidentally deleted some vital shortcuts? Removing the shortcuts does not remove the apps themselves, however.
I'm at a lost at what to do and really would prefer having to do a hard reset if possible. It has taken me 2 weeks to set up my Note 3 almost perfectly .....
UPDATE: I just found that I could still load Live Wallpapers IF I return back to touchwiz and set wallpaper via the menu (left) button. However I am still unable to set Live Wallpapers normally via the settings menu - the picker always crashes....
Any advice would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

you could try this go to google play download any live wallpaper ,when downloaded press open and see what happens
tried already. The wallpaper picker will crash just like before. The only way is to get back to Touchwiz interface and use the menu button to set wallpaper. That way I can still select the custom wallpaper. This only occurred AFTER I went to Touchwiz and cleared up all the useless icons from the apps....I must have stuffed up something in TW...

You can change it from SETTINGS/DEVICE/WALLPAPER also. try that
Also tried. That is how i normally set my wallpapers. That was how I discovered I could no longer load the live wallpapers.

there are some wallpaper picker apk on here do a search see if you can find one for n3
I am too scared to replace the stock apk if its still working via touchwiz. At least it still works. I have probably broken something when i deleted off all the shortcuts in the TW desktop.

This happened to me when I had too many live wallpapers installed, it couldn't load the list. (about 30). Don't suppose that could be it?

Did you ever get a solution to the live wallpaper crashing problem? I have the same exact problem.

I get this as well, in Nova, LWP crashes. If I load Touchwiz Home, it works fine. Kind of irritating to swap launchers just to change the LWP settings.

Thanks for posting this, hadn't thought to try setting the live wallpaper from tw home. I had touchwiz home frozen with TB. Unfroze it, set the live wallpaper from tw home, and live wallpaper is back in Nova. It wasn't enough to merely unfreeze tw home, I had to set the live wallpaper from there too.

I have touchwiz running, simple and easy and I swapped between them, but the live wallpaper still crashes. Even after putting the .apk in the system/app folder and changing the permissions, etc. I'm running Sacs rom on an S4.
Unfortunately Live Wallpaper Picker has stopped - Fix
1. Backup and Uninstall the system
[Live Wallaper Picker]
{livewallpaperspicker.apk}
ONLY (NOT livewallpapers.apk) with [Lucky Patcher](you need to enable system files in Lucky Patcher) or some other App like that (you don't need to uninstall any already installed live wallpapers).
2. Download many livewallpaperspicker.apk you can find all over the internet for different Android versions(doesn't matter even if the version is not specified, download anything you can). (btw, I am using a LiveWallpapersPicker.apk by cycloneblast which I found in another thread. I've no idea what version it targets)
3. Install the livewallpaperspicker.apk for the Android version you are running.
4. If it still says unfortunately live wallpaper picker... then Install other versions and test them(you don't need to restart your device).
5. If still not working, then remove odex file of the Live Wallpaper Picker with Lucky Patcher and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. If STILL not working then remove corpses with [SD Maid](you need to enable system files in it's settings first which is usually turned off when you install it). WARNING: Use at your own RISK.
Hi. I have outlined the fix for this in my video on youtube here: youtubeDOTcom/watch?v=7DlTBr8r2Ws
I have latest 20G update on my D802. I'm using stock LG launcher. Lately, I get quick launcher redraw, afte unlocking my phone. Weather widget and couple of icons redraw with a "blink". Is there any solution to this? Anybody else expiriencing the same issue?
If the entire launcher is redrawing then it might be getting kicked out of memory. Some 3rd party launchers have an option to remain in memory, can you try one of those and tell me whether those launchers also redraw.

I tried Nova launcher and it doesn't redraw, but transition animations are choppy (micro stutters, but they are smooth when using live wallpaper), so I decided to stick with stock launcher. As I said, it's not that entire launcher is redrawing, but two folders and 4x1 default weather widget.
I have never used stock kk, so it could be an issue with the update. Try clearing cache/data for the LG apps via settings, Apps->All.

I had the same problem on 20d. Got tired of it and I use apex now. It never redraws and animation is smoother. Free ram is also much more with apex.
Too bad cuz i liked stock lg launcher.

Yesterday, I made a factory data reset, after updating to 20H firmware on my D802. Still, this launcher redraw issue is present and it's really bothering me. If I have to do something on the fly and just after unlocking my phone, this redraw happens and whole interface stutters for second or two.
Same here since 20G... Happy to see that I'm not alone... Again a buggy update...
Having the same issue with 20c, nothing changed after a couple of flashes as well.
Been using the stock launcher for 1 year and it always redraw. Finally installed Nova last week and there is no more launcher redraw issue.
I guess I'm lucky; not a single redraw here, not even that one when switching from portrait to landscape (or vice versa). 20H.
I also had the same problem with stock LG launcher but I`ve read somewhere that the problem is gone when there is no folders on launcher.
I had 3 folders and when I removed them the problem is gone
Is anyone with the problem having folders on homescreen? If you do try to remove them and see what would happen
well, actualy folders and widget are indeed redrawing and I can confirm that I have folders...BUT I had some on previous rom I it worked flawlessly...
I just removed one folder that was on my home screen. Lets see if there will be some redrawing now.
Interesting, never thought about folders and redrawing. Got 3 of them tho. Plus 4 widgets (if we count clock). Still no issues, eh...

Never had any folders - still redraws every once in a while... Have 4 widgets though...
For the lag it seems that it occurs when I press home after switching from a band to another or from an antenna to another
Whell, last night I removed folder from the home screen and I still gor redraws, so it must be bad coding in LG Home launcher.
After KK update I've had launcher redraws even after killing all background apps, so I had them hundreds times every day. After updating to "H" release all redraws gone. Not any single redraw.
It is far better with 20h for sure but still having some lags
I have 20H firmware and redraws all the time. Even after factory reset.
CyanogenMod's launcher "Trebuchet" has a bug. I tried opening the app drawer by tapping on menu icon for a minute; every time I experienced a sluggish behavior of the animation in Lollipop 5.0.2. I tried clearing cache & data of that app. Also tried wiping partition cache from stock recovery. I'm on official OS, didn't touched the system yet or not even rooted my phone.
Don't know why this happens & bug fixing update is also not available. Googled whole Internet and tried every possible step. At last I installed Google Not launcher.
Please fix this or someone help if solution is available.
Why don't you just install some other launcher?
Go launcher for example.
You do make sense however something so default on a phone had such a lag should be reported.... I too face the same thing..... I installed many different launchers but the problem should be resolved in default launcher as well because it kills the whole purpose of smooth UI....

try changing the scrolling effects
some scrolling effects are really sluggish and buggy
Hey all
While using nova as the launcher for the trupurexmm rom, wallpaper does not scroll while scrolling pages, although it is on force situation with nova settings. Has any one else had this and was enabled fixing it?
Thx in advance for any help
Sorted, needed to use zoom for some reason..
Hi, I have a Samsung S10+ running Android 10 and One UI 2.5.
I am constantly getting an issue with Nova Launcher where if i clear my recent apps the screen refreshes and then One UI takes over and it goes to that home screen rather than Nova. If i then press the Home button again it then takes me back to Nova's home screen again and does stay there until i clear my recent apps again.
Nova is definitely set to the default launcher and when this happens i go into the Nova settings and it shows no launcher is set as default, i then set it as default but the same thing keeps happening each time.
I have tried clearing the cache from both Nova and One UI but this didn't fix anything.
Is this a know issue? It has happened for a while but wasn't that annoying but since a recent android update it seems to be happening all the time now.
Does anyone know if i can fix this?
Thanks
James
Did you perhaps got sd card installed? Usually if the app installed on sd card, it will revert back to default launcher whenever you restart.
I have also had this happen to me recently, happens generally when I have recently restarted the phone for a couple of hours and then it won't happen, really odd. It started happening after the November update. And to @Zac3 I don't have a sd card installed.
Same here !!! It bugs even out sometimes, switch automatic to One UI Launcher, and i can not open sometimes my recents Apps, i had cleared so many times data and cache, but nothing seems working.
Also when i got Nova immersive in settings, it shows me the black bar at the top of the screen, that also doesnt seem to work.
