[Q] Wallpaper size for ADW Launcher

Hi,
I am trying to fit a 1280x960 sized wallpaper on my ADW Launcher screens. no matter what I do, it gets only first half (top) of the image to the screen.
What is wrong with my settings ? How can I set correctly ?

This is a well known issue with ADW. People are getting around it by using a free app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. It will not hack up your wallpapers (plus it has some other cool features)....

I managed to get over it by resizing the image to 1280x1280 (adding blackspace to bottom)

800 x 1280 wallpaper

how to set 800 X 1280 wallpaper properly so that the entire wallpaper is displayed and not some blurred, zoomed in part of the wallpaper.
P.S: iam using ADW launcher and the wallpaper scrolling is switched off.

To have the entire wallpaper displayed without zooming in you need a wallpaper with 1280×800 pixels (hight×width) not 800×1280

the screen resolution is always specified in W X H format and not in HxW format. so my wallpaper resolution is correct and i don't have problem when using wall switch app.

This isn't q&a section.

Sorry mate my bad I got it backwards

Do you have wallpaper scrolling enabled?
To use an 800x1280 wallpaper, you need to disable wallpaper scrolling.
To use wallpaper scrolling you need to have a wider wallpaper since it needs where to scroll. The perfect (native) size for a scrolling wallpaper on Note would be 1600x1280.
edit: nevermind, I missed the part where you said scrolling was switched off. How stupid of me
edit2: just tried switching off wallpaper scrolling and picking a correct-size wallpaper in portrait mode. Didn't work aswell (I also use ADW launcher). When choosing via QuickPic wallpaper, it doesn't even allow me to choose non-scrolling format. When choosing from gallery or using QuickPic and choosing "set as" -> "wallpaper", it allows me to choose the whole wallpaper but afterwards it is still zoomed in as if I had chosen it as a scrolling wallpaper. I don't really care about it, since I like scrolling wallpaper, but just saying I have the same problem. I'm on CheckROM v5 with Abyss v3.6

I use QuickPic to see my wallpapers without any loss in resolution. One thing I noticed about ADW is that if you're using Multipicture Live Wallpaper with it, the 800x1200 wallpapers are not cropped accurately, even when using QuickPic. Strangely, the cropping is fine once I change the launcher to TouchWiz or LauncherPro.

try to set wallpaper with twlauncher and then change to adw or other launcher.....

[Q] Asus day scene live wallpaper misaligned

Hi,
I recently flashed the CyanogenMod 10 V6 ROM on my Asus Transformer TF101. I am quite happy with the ROM but the launcher seems to have a litle bug in combination with the Asus day scene live wallpaper. On the first screenshot it shows the correct aligning of the wallpaper. After I apply the wallpaper it gets misaligned, it is placed too high. Is there an easy fix for this? After installing another launcher like Holo Launcher the problem is gone but I prefer the Trebuchet Launcher .
Any fixes for this?

Nobody?

You have to disable "stretch"in launcher settings!

When I was having troube placing a photoshopped logos.sys (It's now safe to turn off your computer seen as Windows 95s and 98s) as a background, I ended up coming across the Image 2 Wallpaper app (free, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shirobakama.wallpaper). It resolved the cropping and streching problem that gallery is infamous noted for doing
for the lols, I photoshopped the message to, "It's now safe to turn off your tablet" (see attached)

You sure scrollable wallpaper is enabled in Nova? I use Nova and I can set scrollable wallpaper fine.

Good launcher for high density icon grid, precise wallpaper and gestures...

Hey all,
hope you're all healthy!
I was using Apex Launcher (Classic) for a long time now. The main reasons were that I could
- have a pixel precise background image / wallpaper that was designed to fit around my icons and widgets
- have custom folder icons
- have gestures on the home screen
- have a high density icon grid on the homescreen as well as the app drawer. Without icon labels.
All of this worked well up to my Pixel XL (1).
Now that I got my Pixel 5 I have issues with 3 of those 4 points:
- i can't control how my wallpaper is positioned and scrolled on my 2-page homesceen.
- the maximum number of icon rows on Apex Launcher Classic is 10. And since the screen is no longer 16x9 but longer, 10x6 icons looks off.
- the action "tab on home when on home screen" (where I had the app drawer) works very funny with the new android gesture navigation
so:
tl:dr
Do you know a nice launcher that features
- more than 10 icons per row in home screen and app drawer
- flexible gestrures
- custom folder icons
- precise wallpaper positioning and scrolling
thank you very much!

Nova launcher I believe does most of that

I also would say Nova Prime should be good...

Yes thank you guys. I already installed Nova. The only drawback is, that on a two-page layout, the wallpaper is not scrolling 1 to 1 but only part way. I guess I will have to live with that...
Another problem is that the Pixel 5 often defaults back to the standard pixel launcher without promt or anything. Have to go to the app settings and set Nova again as default. But I'm already on the google forum for that...
Thx again. Stay save!
