OK so the other day ago I got my Samsung infuse back from Samsung because it would not turn on. So I wanted to put my favorite panoramic wallpaper on but then I realized that the panoramic would not work. It is on official android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. Any help please thanks.
I've had the same problem before, usually I go to the Google Play store and download "Galaxy SII Wallpapers" and set one of those as my wallpaper and from then on I can scroll around. I'm not sure what causes that but like i said. That's what works for me.
Hope this helps you too..
Are you using any custom Launcher alternative???
I know with custom launchers your allowed to change the mode (GO Launcher).
1. I would change the title for more help
2. Other launchers are very awesome
I suggest (in this order)
MiHome
GoLauncher
Launcher7 (No panorama)
ADW

Hey all.
I'm pretty damn sure you could previously set the screen to be fixed in landscape/portrait. Currently unable to see that setting.
Has it been changed so its only changed by the phone or am I being blind?

I have not seen any setting like that in launcher pro

Go to Preferences -> Behaviour Settings -> Enable Auto-Rotation
Not sure if this is what you were looking for though
-Samsung Galaxy S
Darky's Rom v9.5
Thanks guys. Shows how much attention I pay I use ADW EX so much I assume the features will be on every home app.

Hi guys, I am using the epic 4g with randomrom 2.2 phoenix and it uses the swipepad launcher. A friend of mine was telling me about the adw launcher ex and was really excited about it. If I install it, will it mess up my rom? Any help is appreciated

No, you won't mess up anything. Download what ever launcher you like. After you've installed ADW you'll have two launchers (ADW and Swipepad). You can switch between these two by pushing your phones home button.
If you just want to use ADW, but not uinstall Swipepad, you choose "Use as default" and you'll only be using ADW. If you want to go back to Swipepad then go to "Manage Applications" and uncheck "Default settings" (or something like that).
Alright cool. So what is the significance of using a specific launcher with a particular rom? Do certain launchers work better with certain roms and phones or is it all user preference?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Some launcher look prettier, some skipped the good looks for better performance and some have special features.
It's mostly user preference though.
Just browse through the market and try them all out if you want.
Cool thanks for your input as well. I might try another one. I really don't see anything wrong with this one other than it not having gingerbread features, then again I am only 2.2 so it wouldn't. Does anyone know how to "thanks" someone's post while on the xda app on your phone?

I don't think thats possible in the free xda app.

Can't go wrong with WidgetLocker (it's worth it).
Went to the play store to get Widgetlocker and I get a message stating that my device is not compatible.

I'm running qqlauncher, not many themes or widgets, but you can get widgets else where.
Well any who, also comes with a very good lockscreen.

Hmm... odd thing. Widgetlocker is not even showing up in a search at the Play Store. I have it installed so it shows up in my installed list with the "device incompatible" msg as well. I installed it from a Titanium Backup.

Go Locker is free and has a lot of themes available. I use it (I've even made a couple themes for the market...er..."play store"). And I think you may be able to use it without needing to have go launcher as your default home. As long as you set it up while using go launcher/ go locker, you might be able to switch to whatever other launcher you prefer. I may be mistaken since I haven't tried it myself (I use go launcher), but friends with samsung phones have tried it and can use it with other launchers.

I like that one too.
I like being able to change which shortcuts I have available and have more than 3 or 4. That's why I made my own that has 4 app shortcuts and the home unlock. If anyone wants to try it out and let me know what they think, it's free on the market here:

Thank you!! My LCD density was set at 256. I changed it back to 240; still didn't work. So then I cleared the Dalvik cache and the data from Goggle Play Store and now I can download apps once again!!

I think what you need to do is set the "Go Switch Widget" as a Device Administrator. Go to menu>settings>location & security>Select device administrators and then check the go switch widget.
The stock moto locker should not come up (except for when your phone boots up from a shutdown/restart). Let us know if that's what fixes it.
Also, just as a side note, make sure when you install a different theme for Go Locker that you do NOT hit "open" after the install. It will give you an error. After you install a theme, you just need to select it from the Go Locker menu. I've had a few friends complain that a new theme doesn't work, but it's because they didn't read the directions .
hmm..i can't find "Go Switch Widget" under device administrator.

You might need to download/install it then. The only reason I did is because it told me to. Strange that you didn't get the same message.
If you don't mind, try it out and report back.
Lock Screen Opinion
I would have to say Go Locker. Has a lot of themes IMO and if use the pin to get into the phone don't even have to type the enter key. I just want my phone unlocked faster.
found this cool lockscreen Active Lock Screen on play store.. its pretty neat, got loads of customisations for shortcuts and also a few themes..

I don't think it can be done with the stock launchers.
For nova launcher - Menu-->desktop-->wallpaper scrolling-->off
For apex launcher - Menu-->apex settings-->homescreen settings-->Wallpaper mode-->multiple screen, non scrolling
If you don't have either of these there are free versions available. They both come highly recommended and are based on the stock launcher. You can't actually tell the difference.
usually the method suggested by previous post can get the job done. however, if you still having issue, you can use Wallpaper Wizardrii app. the app is useful if you're using manufacturer launcher (touchwiz, sense, blur, etc) and prefer not to switch to other launcher. but since those launchers suggested are similar to stock launcher, then it shouldn't be an issue to use either of them.
I am willing to pay someone to make the digital rings clock from this to be able to work on the stock Touchwiz launcher. If so, I would want it to be fully functional as well.
I should mention that I've already tried the options in the Play Store but they don't have the same functionality, graphics, animations or notification integration Iike the official version.
Here is the link to the launcher and clock widget. Credit for the link goes to incubus26jc.

I installed this launcher and clock widget on Beans 14 and it worked like a charm. But the clock widget only works with the Motorola launcher.
That is my favorite clock widget ever but I hate the Razr launcher. Is this even possible? Let me know!

Will you pay me if I tell you to do a search on Google play store for "one more clock" and then select the chaos rings theme?
Never mind it is late and I just saw that you tried the alternatives in the Google store

Haha yeah dude I tried it. It looks decent but it doesn't have the same functionality or integration of notifications and stuff. Thanks though!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I doubt all the integration will work without the matching launcher. Its possible but its probably the same issue trying to get sense widgets to work on AOSP or Samsung phones. You need the Rosie launcher. I'm not a developer though so I could be wrong. I'm just going by my experience of what I've seen with custom UIs and accompanying widgets.
i dont think so it seems that it has a check built into it to check and make sure it is running on motorola's launcher i installed that pack of 4 apk on my gs3 and then tried putting it in nova launcher and a grey box with rings widget must be used in motorola launcher only.
And there are two alternatives that were close but neither one is quite right.
I'm sure its possible with the right work, taking code from the moto launcher and tweaking it to make it work inside of a touchwiz rom, though I'd think it'd have to built into the rom, and not into just a flashable file that'd work on every rom
