Hi guys,
As you may now Sense 3.0 does not support live wallpaper scrolling.
I'm a developer myself. onOffsetsChanged() in my wallpaper is just not being called properly.
However, native HTC Streak Live Wallpaper has scrolling effects, so it has a way of telling when screen is being scrolled.
Can anyway take a look at their source code to figure out a way how they do it? I've tried doing this myself, but had no luck.
It also has onOffsetsChanged(), but it does not seem to be called.

New to Android and have a question with the way either Android or the Inspire handles wallpapers.
I have a very extensive wallpaper collection.
I have over 200 wallpapers in the correct resolution of 480X800. When I try and use these wallpapers either Android or the phone wants to crop them.
This cropping totally destroys the look of the wallpaper.
Is this a Android thing or a HTC Inspire thing?
Is there a way to stop this?
Wallpapers should be 960x800 because they scroll left and right on the home screens.
Hi guys
I'm a total 'droid n00b so please be gentle with me.
I know I have seen Android devices which kinda "spread" an oversized wallpaper across all the home screens so that scrolling through the home screens also scrolls across the wallpaper. I just tried to set an oversized wallpaper and it made me crop it to the screen res
Is this a feature which is only available on some phones, or is there a tweak you have to load first... or am I totally blowing it out of my arse and the whole thing is a figment of my imagination?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
get rid of Sense by replacing it with ADW Launcher. It will allow you to crop a wallpaper correctly for your home screen and it runs WAY faster with a ton more features. I would also recommend getting the paid version of the app. You can get it from Market.
also.. after you get ADW and are running it... go into Accounts & Sync in your settings and disable all of the Sense stuff.
edit: thought i should also add this recommendation. if you like the sense widgets and hate to part with them. or the weather clock...etc. you can get an app from market called Beautiful Widgets. it runs way faster than sense and does the same stuff... again with more options.
Errr.... that's all very nice but how does it relate to my question?
It is sense that is causing the wallpaper to display as it is, change sense back to the android stock option by removing sense will then enable the wallpaper you wanted.

In response to your original question, most Android devices and versions do spread the wallpaper across all the home screens, including older versions of Sense. Sense 3.0 however uses vertical wallpapers that do not scroll, it is a new feature in this version. I imagine they did it because of the 3D rotation of the home screens and it would make stretched wallpapers look weird when swiping, but who knows.
It would be pretty complex to have each screen with its own section of the wallpaper seperate, spin, slow and expand, and finally rest at the ending homescreen.

Thanks Cyberstorm98 - I shall lobby HTC and see if they'll make it an option when anims are off.
Hi there.. I know, there have been tons of people asking the question, but isn't possible to create a different image for the lockscreen on Sense 3.0,
Currently I'm using Multipicture live wallpaper, which works pretty well, but I don't want to have a live wallpaper anymore, so I can save battery.. or choose another live wallpaper..
Is it possible to create some kind of a module, like the skins just for the lockscreen?? because that would be awesome
Anyone else's live wallpaper pause or freeze when scrolling or just in general?
The Beam wallpaper doesn't even animate and the weather wallpaper just stops animation. The water wallpaper pauses when scrolling through home screens. It's rather annoying, especially since I love having an animated wallpaper. I am new to HTC Sense so please bare with me on my knowledge.
try another launcher and see if it has the same problem
Tried on Nova Launcher, same problem.
Wow, all these threads just kind of stop with no one having a resolution.
I guess it's not everyone who is having this problem, but if a fix has popped up since the last post from April, could someone chime in, thanks.
Hi! I have a Z3 with Muzei as a live wallpaper which updates images every day. I really like to have the current wallpapers in the lockscreen as well but I haven't found any option like that. Is there any way to deactivate the lockscreen so only the wallpaper could be seen or maybe replicate the same wallpaper configuration to the lockscreen?
Thank you!
Nobody
You can try the Facebook Home app. There is an option to use the same wallpaper as the one used in the home-screen
same here
Hi, I was searching the whole Web for the same thing.
I think with Muzei we will not be able to sync our start screen with our lock screen with Muzei, since that is a Live Wallpaper and those are not supported on lock screen.
I want to get the current BIng picture of the day on my screens -- automaticaly. Well, I think I have to live without this....
