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 just installed krom theme from the market which includes several different backgrounds for my dock bar but I haven't a clue to access or change them.... anyone know how??? I've already been all through the adw menus and can't figure it out nothing gives me the option to change it only if I want 1,3,or 5 action buttons and tinting etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ADW Launcher EX will give you the ability to change the dock. The lesser version without the "EX" does not. I upgraded from the ADW that was included in the Cyanogen ROM and it works great. I assume you can run that launcher from any configuration. Hope this helps, I'm sure there are other methods as well.

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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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.
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
Which is the fastest froyo launcher for our g3?
For me it is Laucher Pro
yes launcher pro is really fast with froyo
Launcher pro has a few bugs like the contacts bug... I like adw...no bugs and fast

According to a few reviews and personal experience of my friends, adw is cool but not that fast and lags a bit too
Am I correct ?

Does zeam launcher wait for all apps to load like toichwiz does or does it open apps as and when they get loaded
@Arjav23 ADW lags(at least for me) and i don't find it attractive...As for the Zeam launcher i never used it so i'll let someone else answer you to that question If you want a fast launcher i suggest Launcher Pro,but if you want speed and a possibility to customize the interface i strongly recommend Go launcher EX (with Desktop visualizer is just mind-blowing)

On froyo go launcher lags quite a bit. On CM7 it doesn't as much. I remember back when Go launcher was just a launcher instead of a music player, gallery and all that other useless garbage. It seems the developers don't understand that phones come stock with a gallery, music player and video player.
Anyway, i am currently using Holo launcher HD on AOKP JB and it's quite good. I'm waiting for MiHome to get updated and for the lag issue to fix though because i really want to try MiHome since it has all the MIUI themes without having to use the MIUI ROM.

Go launcher also uses up quite a lot of memory and ram
Apex Launcher is the best
The new ADW launcher is amazingly fast and the animations look awesome!
fastest launchers nemus, launcherpro,adw in my opinion
The new adw is really too good
I already have Appex and Go Launcher installed. Appex opens with my phone. I also like Go Launcher and would like to test some other launchers like Nova. I was wondering what happens with the launchers that are not open. Do they or any of their services run in the background ? Do they anyway affect battery or cpu performance? Is it wise to have three or four of them installed?
Any opinion on the matter would be much appreciated...
they needa Little bit resource,but no worth worrying about. ithink.

Every launcher has notifications and sometimes the automatic updates could be set as default. So keep that in mind when you don't use a launcher, it should never show in the running app list. What I do to make sure, I freeze the app. Of course, you need to be rooted for that.
hope this helps
