Alright so I've rooted and got everything updated on 6.2.1 and I've purchased the Christmas HD 3D livewallpaper by dualbootgames and I've noticed the scrolling doesn't appear to work on not just this wallpaper but any wallpaper. Is there a way to make it work?
I was on Go Launcher and I thought maybe it was just that but I downloaded ADW and it still doesn't allow scrolling even with all the settings set to allow scrolling.
As far as I can find out, there's no way to get scrolling wallpaper on the Kindle Fire version of the OS. I'd never actually seen scrolling wallpaper in action till I loaded CM7 on my Fire. Spent a lot of time poking through various files trying to figure out a way to enable it in the stock OS, but no luck.
Ok that's all I wanted to know, thanks. It'd be nice to get it working without having to go to CM7 imo but it is what it is.
I'll add that I'm no expert, so perhaps someone with more skill than I can find a way to enable wallpaper scrolling. I'd certainly like to have it without having to go to CM7. (at least until CM7 has full ability to run the apps that run on the stock OS.)

What happened to them?
My g1 had some sick animations at one point, zoomed into apps when i opened them, and zoomed out when i closed.
Now that I got an evo 4g I can't seem to reproduce those effects.
It's not a "huge" deal, but having them certainly adds to the eyecandy factor.
I think i did it with an apk called dev tools..
I can't seem to find it, and spare parts only lets me changing the speed of windows animations and sideways shift animations.
Thanks!
i'm pretty sure its in spare parts... at least for nexus... is your phone rooted?
From what Ive read, all of the really neat effects have been dropped from the OS as of 2.01 onwards.
There is an app you can install called Spare Parts, which if you have 1.6 or below will allow you to turn on the animation effects of the screen rotate etc but it also points out that they just wont work in anything 1.6+
Atleast thats what I think, im no dev, just one man annoyed at the lack of eyecandy ;(
Did you try Home > Menu > Settings > Display > Animation? Make sure that you have "All animations" checked. That will at least get you started.
I have the "All animations" checked.
It's not that I don't have animations.
The window animation is set to slow in spare parts, which is step 1.
Step 2 is Transition animations, which only shows when going from one part of an app to another is also set to slow.
Step 3 and what I'm trying to accomplish here is the "zooming" animation when you open an app.
I believe the Droid has this, and I really miss it from my G1.
Why is it not here, and how do i get it back?
Almost forgot the auto-rotate animation.. That was cool as well..
Gingerbread or Android 3.0 will focus on eyecandy, supposedly, but until then at least some basic animations would be cool.
P.S. I'm not rooted, yet.
Turns out with launcherpro I get the desired animations. Is this part of the launcher? Or is sense blocking the OS level animations

The zoom animations unfortunately are not present in sense ui - thats why you see them when you use launcher pro.

I know what you're talking about. I got an HTC Legend, which has Sense UI but no Live wallpaper, then I flashed a patch file to get Live Wallpaper works on my Legend...and tada..I got "zooming in/out" effect also. Just dont know why And I'm not using any other launcher but Sense.

I think you can pm that guy to get what you want.
I don't know If I'm in the wrong place. But I would love an answer to some of my questions. If anyone could assist me I would be very appreciative.
I have restored my Nook Color to an earlier version 1.0.1, it came with firmware 1.2, I then used the latest Auto Nooter for firmware 1.0.1;
After doing so, I installed some basic apps, dolphin HD, file manager, live wallpapers, ect.
Some of these apps appear to be very glitchy. Force closing, and LauncherPro will not orientate screen position correctly when a Live Wallpaper is installed.
I am now wondering If I have gone about this root in the best way, and used the best mod.
What is the best root for the Nook Color at this point in time? there are so many confusing instruction guides, and several are different, so I do not know which one to do as they seem to change daily. I continue to get sent to different guides that make no sense to me.
I am sending this device to a friend for Christmas, they live in another state, she is not nearly as tech savy as me, haha, and she cannot mess with any of this once it gets to her. So I want to get all this done with before I send it. I want to use a very user friendly mod, and so far the one I have done seems to be really easy, but a bit glitchy.
I have a couple of questions if someone could clarify I'd be super grateful.
1.) What's the difference between the Auto-Nooter method? and the CM7 mod's?
2.) Can I install custom kernals or rom's from my AutoNooted, Nook?
3.) How come I do not have, and cannot access Rom Manager? ( I search it in the app market and only find the Premium version. It is not installed on my Nook already)
4.) Is there any way to find out why the Live Wallpaper is messing up? - Answered: LauncherPro seems to be the culprit.
5.) How can I access my launcher settings? I have downloaded 2, LauncherPro and ADW, yet I cannot seem to access settings for either of them.
I recently installed this app and I have got to say, it is pretty awesome. It runs very smoothly and looks great. a few warnings though, as it is a little buggy, DO NOT try to open the settings panel from there (its designed to look like honeycomb settings, but that kills it and you'll have to wipe the user data off to use it again) and beautiful widgets doesn't work (does the same as settings when it tries to load. you can get it from the market or there syndicateapps.com/main/Honeycomb_Releases.html
also look at their ICS launcher, but download the older release from their site as the new one doesnt work on kindle.
I have Team Eos 2.0 installed on my Xoom and i want to remove multiple homescreens cause 1 is enough for me,is there any tweak or any way to do that?
I also would like to add this wallpaper:

as defaul without cropping it, because when im trying to put it i have to always crop it first so it fits in landscape and portrait mode and it screws all the quality of the wallpaper, any suggestions?
I don't think 7he ROM itself is set up for custom home screen counts. But you can download a replacement launcher like Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Those are ICS ready and are favored by many. Both are free. Give em a spin

I was wondering the same thing you were, so I took Legatos suggestion and installed nova launcher to see what it does and it took care of the multiple homescreens and other little things.... but i kept having problems with my wallpapers resolution which always have from the start, like you. Try multi picture live wallpaper app. I really like the results. I tried it on the wallpapaer you provided, and considering it isn't optimized for xoom, i think it is turning out pretty good.... hope this helps you, it has me.
id also recommend multi picture live wallpaper, does the job nicely plus its free
Hey there,
maybe it would sound a little bit stupid, but i have wandering around and cant find anything about it. the thing is: I have an HTC Inspire, and it used to come with android Fro Yo, so when i selected a wallpaper it was the kind one that moves when you swipe from window to window and it was nice... then i changed my rom for a RCMIX with android gingerbread and then the options with wallpaper changed and it only allows you to put a steady wallpaper in portrait mode. but my brother bought a new samsung galaxy with gingerbread too, and when he wants to change his wallpaper, it asks him wheter he wants it to be landscape or portrait mode... i really want thins function on my cellphone... is there any rom with an android version that allows you to do that???? please helppppp!!!!!

Yes.

Sense 2.1, what your phone came with, had scrolling wallpaper in froyo and gingerbread. The Sense 3.0 roms I used (gb), did not. In aosp/aokp that feature will depend on your launcher.

well... it just seems that all samsung devices have both options! it just amazes me that you can´t do it in this roms!!! it should be an option!
It doesn't always work on those Samsung. I know the Note was having serious issues with scrolling wallpaper. Any Android phone can give you this option. If you insist on running Sense, you will be limited to the features of whichever version you use.
