Does anyone else use this app and experience a problem where after a while half of the wallpaper goes black? It seems to be something to do with the orientation because it's as if it thinks it's in portrait so it cuts part of the wallpaper off. Switching the tablet's orientation to portrait and back temporarily fixes it.
Not sure if it's an app bug, honeycomb or just my tablet.. haven't seen anyone else mention it :S
No it is not your tablet, I had the same problem with my xoom. Are you using another program like HD wallpapers to set wallpapers? If so, this is your problem. What you have to do is download the wallpaper you want then use ww to set it. Hope this helps.

Ah ok thanks! Was using ww to set it to no scroll and then was using gallery to set the wallpaper. Have done it with ww now so should be all good.

I'll have to give that a try. I had stopped using the program because of this issue, but scrolling is SO much smoother with wallpaper scrolling disabled. Thanks!
Hmm.. thought it had solved the problem but it still happened. Have sent an email to the developer so hopefully will get a response
Cannot say thanks enough for the WW app!!!! I was about to go postal trying to change all of my sizes for wallpapers! Nothing worked and it all looked crappy. WW to the rescue! Thanks a ton!
And now I have the dreaded "black bar!!!" Jeezus these android devices are kilin me here! Why is this so damn difficult...
Forgot to post response from dev the other day, seems to be a problem with android not the app:
Hello James,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Twisted Apps. I really appreciate the information and hopefully I can explain the issue.
The black screen is not due to Honeycomb, but instead due to an Android API bug. I have noticed the error myself and I have only created a work around for it within the app. I have tried posting the issue to Android forums, but I haven't received a goodresponse as of yet. The problem happens more redly with devices that rotate because WW has to set the display demensionseach time the display isrotated. It isduring this Android API call that the screen goes back. The Wallpaper is still set, but nothing shows. Otherthan rotating the display, I have also created a Fix menu options. Select Menu->Fix and it attempts to resetyour current wallpaper. I personally have only noticed the error a few times with a few otherrandompeople mentioning it happening seldom. You are the first person to indicate it being more often then not. I amreally sorryit is causing issues for you.
Not the best solution, but here is a work around. Use WW to set your wallpaper as Scroll, and then if you want to set your screen to No Scroll use a home app such as Launcher Pro. When a home app normally sets the display to No scroll it doesn't keep reseting the display dimensions upon rotation. To get the Exact Setting with Scroll you will need to set the Wallpaper as Exact and then select menu->Scroll. Menu->Scroll will keep the current set wallpaper, but change it from No Scroll to Scroll. As a note most people like WW because of the No Scroll option, but WW also automatically resizes the images withouthavingto do special modifications to the image.
Twisted Apps is my startup with WW being the firstapp. I have anotherfull time occupation,but I willlook into this issue in the next couple of weeks to see if I can find a more permanent solution. Again,I sincerely appreciate you using WW and your time to e-mail me.
I hope you can be patient while I find a solution.
Sincerely,
--Russell T Mackler [email protected]

Hi all,
I am still very new to my Xoom (have only had it for about a week) and I have noticed what seems to be a glitch with the "wallpaper resizer/cropping tool" in the gallery when I am trying to set new wallpapers.
On all of my other Android devices (past and present) when I resize the picture to make it may wallpaper I can simply do so by using 2 fingers (pinch to zoom) but when I try this on my Xoom it is only recognizing one finger at a time and I have to resize by moving the box down, then to the right, then up, then to the left, etc.
Does anyone else have this issue and if so does anyone know how to fix it?
Please advise...
Thanks in advance...
That's going to be the least of your concern. I'm trying to figure out how to enable the whole wallpaper instead of cropping it.

LOL... Ya... I read your thread as well. I can get my wallpapers to work from the gallery using the crop feature but it is a pain in the a$$ to do when it wont work properly...
One easy way to get all of the wallpaper to view is to install wallpaper slide show. It's a live wallpaper but it allows viewing of the whole thing.

Hi all,
I had this same problem until another thread on this forum where some one mentioned the Live Wallpaper app that solves these problems and works really well you can give it a try as its free.

Can someone tell me how to configure the app? When I click on folders it FC's.
Anyone else suffering from the update? Liked the extra additions but now it's as limited as stock launcher when it comes to screen real estate.Hopefully this can be fixed asap. I've contacted anderwebs and received no response. I wish I can roll back but now I'm gonna just have to wait it out. No more hubs for me
yeah i had to revert back to previous version.

Worst update ever. Screen usable space is so small now
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Reminds me why I run Ti Back-up...that layout is awful. I like the changes to the folders and some of the other things but the layout is terrible if you are trying to run HUBS. Anybody notice the change to the apps bar? I played with it for awhile before I restored and I am already not a fan. You can only have 11 apps in horizontal mode? Why would you limit it and force it to scroll?
My only complaint with the update it seems it has slowed down a little and gestures are not working as they should swipe up is fine but swipe down doesnt work.
I think maybe it was a rushed release like a preview of look what we can do when icys is here and such.
Hopefully adw ex is back on game soon !!!!

Guys he responded to my inquiries on twitter and it seems he has no idea what we're talking about. Contact anderwebs in his twitter page, he responds a lot faster there.
Edit: He updated it again but the issues with tablet space is still there.
AAGGHH could he have left it out by mistake?

Update 1.3.3.55! (as usual )
I’ve released a minor update with the following additions/fixes:
Option to use the dock as overlay: this means your desktop will be full size and the dock will appear over it when you show it.
When you trigger the “hide/show dockbar” action/gesture, the new status will be remembered until you show/hide it again. This is like the old option “No dock”!!

Ill give it a try brb
EDIT: Its not up yet!! Market still shows 1.3.3.5
EDIT2: Tried it the dock does disappear but the sides (When viewing landscape) do not extendo to the whole screen, so it looks horrible
EDIT3: This is what he told me on twitter:
@mauaus there will be a release by a week with a configuration window for the screen margins. Sorry
Iv just bought this, i see the tablet layout is different from the phone, i never knew that, i used to think, why do peeps want their tablet looking like their phone lol, its actually really good and brilliant bargain at ten pence.

i was just finished setting up hubs, then i updated and now everything looks bad.
a lot of work for nothing.
i hope the small screen issue gets fixed asap.
Bought this today to for a dime to replace LauncherPro (which keeps FC'ing). Looks nice, but scrollable widgets are downright unusable. There is a big-time lag in every scrollable widget I try (Gmail, Calendar, Bookmarks, CNN). I thought maybe it was the gesture feature interfering, but I have them set to none and still the scrolling widgets are just way too sticky. They scroll perfectly in LP and the stock launcher, so there's definitely an issue with ADW Ex.
Anyone else have this problem? It doesn't happen if you keep your finger on the screen while scrolling, just if you swipe-scroll (like flicking through a list of emails), which is why I think it's conflicting with the swipe gesture functionality.

Have you played with the desktop scrolling speed? May not impact the widgets at all...but I am not having the same lag you are describing.

Anyone who was hoping to be able to use the new launcher (such as myself) will be happy to know that you can! It appears that the option is there in the 4.2 OTA update, it is just hidden from the settings menu. I assume that Asus are probably still working on it and will release it in a future update.
The only modification I made to Droid-Eye's method was to simply use a setting shortcut widget rather than an entire launcher option such as ADW.
I used 'Secure Settings' from Google Play, which is free. Please bear in mind you also need an Ipack for an icon for your shortcut. Luckily Secure Settings has a handy link to download free ones from Google Play when you are setting up your shortcut.
I hope it helps anyone desperte to try out the new launcher style. It seems many people hate the new launcher, and I'll admit that I did myself the first time I saw it. However, it has grown on me and I'm going to give it a run to see if I like it over the old style. I can always change back...for the moment anyway.
Note: There is no need to be rooted or unlocked to do this. You can always change back to previous launcher by setting up another shortcut widget in the new style launcher. Your tablet will need to restart to make the change, that is normal.

As Droid-Eye correctly pointed out, the home soft button doesn't line up with the app draw button. I haven't found any other bugs yet.

The instructions worked well for me. So far I keep looking for the buttons in the wrong place. But overall the tablet seems snappier with this launcher. I also do like that the notifications shows across the top so you can see a lot more of the text.

I didn't even think about giving this its own thread. Hopefully, more people will consider trying the new layout now instead of just sticking with the status quo. I know not everyone will prefer them but it's always better to have the choice (I mean, this is Android after all).
Thanks for the credit.

Thanks, man. I've been playing around in the activities shortcuts since I first got my brand new (at the time) Moto Droid with 2.0.1(to give you a time frame). I've found all kinds of cool stuff that way and it's nice finding solutions that don't require root once in a while. I highly recommend combing through the system activities if only just to see if there's anything hiding, waiting for a later update. This is how I found Face Unlock before they were ready to give it to us, too (though it took some interesting hoop jumping to get it to actually work). Also how I found the stock android dialer so I could try it wwith different SIP clients (still a work in progress).
Anyway, dig through the activities. Guaranteed you'll find something to play with in there.

Maybe check the tf300 threads (since they're the only other ones with this ability) and see if anyone's found a workaround for it. If it's happening for them too and there isn't a fix, I'm sure GMD will want to know about it so it can be fixed before the rest of the tf700 and tf201 communities run into it. Either way, keep the shortcut handy and you can always toggle back whenever they update the app.

The setting is there, just the Secure Settings tool is less than intuitive. Keep looking around at the tool. I had to look at the sample picture in the second post several times before I figured out what it was showing. I'll post instructions later in the evening when I have time if no one else does.

After you have selected to create a widget using secure settings, pick an app, wait, and select settings. Next, you can click the .settings textfield. That will bring up a long list where you have to pick the .settings#launcherSwitchSettingsActivity. (Almost at the end of the list) Save.
Give the shortcut an appropriate name, pick an icon, and save the shortcut.
Just install Nova launcher.

I wanted to start a thread to share info about the new launcher Aviate. There's no shortage of threads on requesting invites, so let's not do that here.
If you have Aviate and are actively using it, come here and share.
Thanks!

**Please do not use this thread for requesting invites!**
I've been using it for a day now and I find it curiously intriguing. It's a totally fresh user experience that feels a little like Google Now to me.
Frankly, I never thought ANY launcher could pull my attention away from my custom-crafted (ok, OCD-crafted) user experience I designed using Nova Launcher. I have the same design on all of my mobile devices and it feels like part of my DNA.
Can't say yet if Aviate will be a permanent replacement for my Nova-based home, but I seem to be staying with it.
Just saw the video presentation. I'm looking foward to have a little more feedback about this app.
I liked the fact that it categarises apps and I disliked (as in google now) the fact that you must have your gps on in order to take full advantage of it. Makes a lot of sense and it's very useful but I don't like the idea of sharing my whereabouts all the time...
Been playing with it since yesterday as well on my HTC One.
Like it so far, like the idea of the activities changing during the day. Not sure how it's controled though. Today ie, I set it to Work, and when checking my phone later on, it was set on Home... don't know why.
Of course the custom side of it is quite limited, I assumed it will be better with later versions.
Haven't figured out yet how to get shortcuts to contact phone numbers implemented in Aviate.
Any ideas?
Don't have "morning" and "night time" screens. Only "home" whole day. Any solution ?
To change between Fahrenheit and Celsius, long press on the weather notification and tap the toggle to change.

The only method I have found is to add a contact widget. Not perfect, but close.
I also haven't figured out how to save a bookmark icon to my favorites section on the home screen.
Another thing I would like to do is switch between the light and dark theme automatically based on time of day.

I was able to get an invite for aviate and loaded it up and started setting it up, when I started to wonder if this was the launcher for me. I loved the idea of chameleon launcher back when it came out, how it changed your home screen based on time of day. This seems similar in many ways. But then it dawned on me, I generally do a lot of the same things on my phone no matter where I am. That being the case, would someone like me benefit from this type of launcher?
I have uninstalled and moved on.
Not being able to do direct dial shortcuts the way I want is a deal-breaker for me.
Plus, I found that I really don't need access to different apps at different times of the day. I like always knowing where they are - all the time.
More power to those that find they like Aviate. For me, it was a swing-and-a-miss.
Hi. Just found this thread. I'm loving Aviate so far and, I'm sure the customisation will improve in future releases.
I would like more customisation of the 'spaces' (manual addition/removal etc) and better theming support. Overall, I like it a lot and in sticking with it, at least, for now!

Hey,
I thought about how sweet would it be if there was an app that can use the handwriting great ability using the s pen on the note 3 and combine it with another app that allow to use the s note(or any other similar app) as a wallpaper. this will allow me to use the wallpaper as a blackboard in a single press and see the changes automaticaly on the screen.
I searched a lot on every forum that i know if anyone found a solution for this and coudnt see any.
obviosly i can use the s note and then screencapture - set it as a wallpaper. After giving it a shot i found its uncomfortable and i will gave up on that idea as im looking for something more friendly without all that mess.
Any suggestions?

I have now. Allthough its pretty good it doesn't seem to help my issue as i need it to change it on the wallpaper.
I mean that if it would just auto save the screen captured to be the wallpaper it would be IT.
But it doesn't and so i'm left witht he same ritual of set to wallpaper.
Thanks though.
Any other suggstions?
