So I installed apex because I think it's more stable then nova. I tried to set my custom wallpaper and in landscape mode no issues but in portrait mode I see the wallpaper above and all icons at the bottom with a black background. Is it normal? And can I solve this horrible situation?

It's been discussed in various threads in this section, do a little search for "wallpaper" in their names. I don't remember if it got fixed eventually, but it's a common problem with Apex and Nova on the Infinity.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29610762&postcount=1
Is that still the best way to do it? It's the only thing I've seen and that was back from July. Every other thread I found while searching mentions "use the search".
A lot of the time that's helpful, until there's so many people saying to do searches that nothing else really comes up.

Wallpaper problem irritated me beyond imagination, was on a quest for solution. The one you found is actually the only one - and even this one is not perfect as the live wallpaper slows down the apex launcher - at least it did for me.
You have two additional options: live with it and hope for the best in future releases, go back to stock launcher and live with a fact that you don't use Apex. I went with the first one
I actually don't even miss it anymore as i just don't use my tablet in portrait mode while not in apps....so, problem solved
Try Quickpic from Google play.
I` m using Nova and the "wallpaper bug"Is gone with it.
PS: Use the cropping tool from Quickpic and NOT the system one.

Okay, I've been using QuickPic forever and I'm currently running Nova Prime 1.3beta8, and the portrait wallpaper cropping issue still exists. Can you give more detailed instructions on how you're getting a different result than the rest of us?

Uups, I have installed Nova (but not set as standard), installed Quickpic, set a wallpaper and pressed HOME -> wallpaper fitted exactly. (in stock launcher)
So it doesn't work... sorry.

I love SE Japan!
It looks great but where can we find it?

the 6th link... i think its chinese... to download click the "down arrow" after the heart
http://www.coolapk.com/apk-3086
so far it is nice.
i can hide the apps that i do not like (like moxier,and other)
so far i like it.
Lock screen is really nice. Thanks for the INfo (OP)

Thanks for sharing, it is nice and I have just downloaded. Enjoy, guys!
I like it
Wonder what damage it will do to the battery though!
So they caused the delay for 2.1 release. Probably they put hours in making this one and thought that it will all be wasted/
Now we all testing the battery.
the japanese has always something special and they keep proving this for us

There's a download link on the same page, just scroll down a bit and look closely
Besides the animated wallpaper I don't see any other reason to choose this over ADW. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the wallpaper without having to run this launcher? In other words, can I use the live wallpaper with ADW?
Really really nice.
I thought live wallpaper is only supported by 2.1 and not by 1.6 ?
Anyway the "one and only" big reason why I´m waiting for 2.1 is the change of stupid lock screen on 1.6. Doesn´t work sufficient enough for me. I tried some lock-apps too, but no app was "much better" than the original one. On every call I have to hope I can unlock the screen. But this one in this pack works perfekt. Thanks for sharing.
Only good point is live screen..ADW is far better..

Yup, I got that too.
When I'm receiving a call it reverts back to the old lock screen, and when I'm done with the call I'll have to first unlock the default screen, and after that the AmbientTime one. Is there any way to force the AmbientTime lock screen to be used when receiving calls? If not, I guess I'll have to stick with ADW.
In the first post the wallpaper is very colorful but mine is simple! why?
Anyone else noticing incredible input lag with default Asus on screen keyboard? Switched to android default and it is considerably faster just winder if anyone else was seeing similar results.

Yes, I've just switched keyboards and totally agree.

yep. i got fed up with the asus one
I agree. The stock one is almost unusable because it lags so much.
I went to stock. The Asus one was laggy, unresponsive etc.. I do like their layout better though.

If you want the swipe type keyboard then I would suggest flex T9, if you want one to type with then I would recommend smart keyboard pro which allows you to change the width and height of the keys to suit your finger size. They are both available on the market but will cost you a little bit for the privilege however they are both fantastic to use without any lag. I prefer the flexT9 one as swiping is my preferred method of text entry.
thumb keyboard gets a nod from me.. and the new v4 beta adds some great new features.. also, I posted a while back that for some reason, text entry on some forums is inherantly laggy on the stock browser, no matter what keyboard you use (try switching to Firefox) to see what I mean so its possible the Asus keyboard may be getting a bit of an unfair rap ;-)
i recently downloaded thumb keyboard. Very customizable and makes it easy to type while holding the device in either orientation. ..

The Asus keyboard is laggy on everything, there is defnitely a delay even using Quick office.

I love the asus keyboard. I've no issues with lag, only wished auto corrects is better. Like i just typed "ive" and it doesnt correct to "I've" and other simple things like pressing i doesn't auto correct to I.

I think that was one of the first changes I made to the device, get a better keyboard on.
thumb keyboard is pretty good and responsive.
I am so use to swype on my htc evo though.

You have to side load them and it will work (I verified ADW EX). It will look a little bit weird, but once you disable the dock, and increase the rows from stock 4 to like 10 vertical and horizontal its somewhat okay.
I just stuck with default launcher in the end though. I like the new apps drawer better haha
Adw ex is now avalable in app store but scrolling is very laggy and the icons are blurry. Laincher pro seams to be the only graphic accelerated alternative browser
There's a new version of adwex 1.3.0 optimize for honeycomb (hardware accelerated) i've been using it for the past hour and its way smother than the stock launcher...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
ADW EX just got an update, added experimental honeycomb support

Its okay, i would like it more if i could make the launcher bar horrizontal

I tried VTL today but it was a bit laggy so I went back to the stock launcher for the time being.
seams like I was using an old adw disreguard my previous post. Wow this launcher is butter smooth. Only thing that makes it laggy is live wallpaper like usual. But wow graphic acceleration is where its at. Def worth the couple bucks in market. FYI set scrolling speed to 420. I tested all speeds and this ones the best
I've been using VTL for the past week. Overall its good. One thing I cant do is reboot my TF if VTL is set to default launcher. If I do then my TF will get stuck on the Asus welcome screen. Happen twice already only way to fix it is to wipe of the OS.
Been using the newer ADW Ex for a day or so. A couple FCs but he issued some updates that mostly fixed it.
The only thing I don't like is the bar being vertical only but it is not a big deal.
So I picked up this tab last night, and I love how it handles running apps -it zooms. However the homescreen lags so terrible slow! switching between screens has a lag that is ridiculous for a new tablet. There has got o be a fix for this?
Take it back or use a different launcher....
good day.
Try this:
Settings > Developer options
User interface > Force Gpu rendering [check ]
Window animation scale [Animation off ]
Transition animation scale [ Animation off]
REBOOT.
See if it helps. For some reason ... apparently two processes SysScope and SystemUI keep randomly chugging up 40-60% CPU and this seems to effect the performance a lot. I am not sure if my suggestion would help you... but worth a shot.
So did his suggestions help?
Stone:
You might try a Factory Reset if the other suggestions don't do the trick. I know it can be a pain, but it seems to straighten out a lot of the problems on new Tab 2s.

Apex Launcher solved this issue for me
I'm at work, I'll try these suggestions tonight. A different launcher could easily help this, if not I'll def try a factory reset.
Thanks for the suggestions. i'll report back

I ran into TERRIBLE lag after I installed all my apps. It ran smooth before I installed apps, and lagged terribly afterward. A simple reboot did the trick. (Not a hard reset, just a reboot.) Have had no lag issues since then.
That said, Why? Oh WHY? do manufacturers feel the need for skins and custom apps? Give me stock ICS on good hardware and I'll be happy.
Here's to CM9 in due time...
Moved to Q&A section....place all questions in the proper sections.
Thanks

Nova launcher threw a fit on me a couple of times (See pic attached). Apex launcher seems a bit more stable.
Sent from my GT-P3113
If you put something like nova or apex launcher on it does it totally default to like a plain vanilla ics as opposed touchwiz?
Well, neither Nova nor Apex are pure-vanilla ICS...they just extend it in different (and I would say mostly better) ways than this tablet's version of TouchWiz.
Away OK. But using apex will get rid of lag on dual core tablets with ics correct?
I've installed Nova prime on my new mate 9 and have one issue left. When I put a direct dial icon on a page and try to launch it I get permission denied.
If I do a icon that does a message it works.
Not sure what to do here.
I have the same issue with nova launcher.... I have managed to find an app will do the same job exactly try it out. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codificador.speeddial

I have or had the same issue and solved it with an app as well. Although I never understood the problem. I even wrote to the Nova Launcher guys but they blame it on the Mate 9 - which I find hard to believe, since the SMS direct widget works.
If someone else has any other suggestions I'd welcome them, since I would like a direct dial without a third party app.

I can tell you it works on other devices. I am betting that the dialer doesn't set the proper permissions to be requested from nova. This is why that dev said it was the oem fault.

I know, I used Nova on my S5 and Note 4 for years .... that's why I'm so dissapointed that it doesn't work on my Mate anymore.
Would be interesting if other launchers have the same issue with the dialer? They should if it's really the OEM fault....

Hi,
Had the same problem with my Mate 8 and now Mate 9.
On my Mate 8 I managed to bypass the problem by changing to the Google Contacts app widget on the homescreen. That one now is missing on the stock ROM from Mate 9.
Will try to find another app.
Regards
A new update for nova launcher fixed the quick dile shortcut

I had the same issue, simply deleted the dialer from homescreen and copied the dialer from the drawer menu (which was working). That solved it for me.
