adw launcher not centered

The first thing I installed when I got this phone was adw launcher (with home switcher).
One thing has been bugging me since doing so - all the home screens are shifted to the right. Some widgets are even being slightly cut off at the right like beautiful widgets home.
Anybody else with adw having this issue?

Same here, but the problem comes and goes. No idea how or why. Using adw and beautiful widget.

me too, that is my only real gripe- takes a swipe or rotation to correct. If i can fix this i won't root- bloatware or not this phone is awesome.
Only other thing I want to do is switch to a Gill Sans Light font, then this phone will be perfect.

[Q] GO Launcher EX custom wall paper problem, change lock screen?

I installed the GO Launcher EX that came with the Google Apps RAR in the developer forum and noticed that I am unable to set my own custom wallpaper. I am only able to set a Live wallpaper or the default one that comes with GO Launcher EX. Anyone else have this problem?
When I attempt to do so, I go to the gallery, select my picture, crop and size it, then try to set it. It does the whole "Saving" thing but when returning back to the launcher, nothing has changed.
I've tried both from the Wallpaper option on "Menu" as well as under Theme Settings in GO Launcher EX.
Also, anyone know of a way to change the Amazon lock screen? The Amazon lock screen is still present after installing GO Launcher EX and will change the wallpaper to one of the random lock screen ones after turning off the screen and locking the device anyway...
Thanks in advance!!
EDIT: I should also note that I am rooted.

I have the same problem but am not rooted. I would love to disable Amazon's rotating wallpaper in favor of one of Go Laucher's.

I was planning on going into the system files and locate the folder its pulling the wallpapers from. Hopefully all we have to do is replace them with the wallpapers we like. Go launcher wallpaper doesn't shift left and right for me either when screen moving.

the problem seems to lie in the Fire's own stock lock screen. given the fact that it is rooted, see if you can disable the stock lock screen (using No Lock from the android market) and replacing it with something like Go Locker or WidgetLocker (though some say WidgetLocker doesn't work well)

The wallpaper for the launcher is located in the launchers apk. The wallpapers for the lockscreen are in framework-res.apk the standard place for an aftermarket launcher to pull wallpapers from is framework-res.apk (correct me if I'm wrong. The rom would pretty much have to be custom to fix this. Therefore it would be best for us to get a working recovery(twrp or clockwork using short presses to move through menus and long presses to select) then focus on ICS or HC(probably better off ICS) so we have a soft home, menu, back button.
Then changing wallpapers would be a breeze.

I got no lock to work. Same solution used to get Android Market to work. Get Titanium Backup installed (need the paid version) and you can use it to change the installed No Lock app to a system app. Reboot and it works fine. Will need to have your Kindle Fire Rooted.
Ok, Now I have No Log working, but how do I replace the Lock Screen?

GO Launcher EX wallpaper, make it stick
It's not a question of disabling the locker; regardless of whether the phone locks or not, the default Kindle slider screen appears on wake-up, and after sliding, the default Kindle wallpaper is there instead of GO Launcher's wallpaper.
I, too, am greatly annoyed by this.
If pyrostic is right, then regrettably there's no simple way to fix this. Which would suck. (Many of us are not developers.)

Widget locker works well for changing the lockscreen wallpaper at least..

It won't stay after you restart.

Benjyp's procedure worked for me. I posted more specifics about what you can do about them.

OK. I've got the wallpapers to not change back to the Amazon ones by changing permissions on the /data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper file, but I can't get scrollable wallpapers to work. I'm using the long rainbow one that came with Go Launcher but it's fixed and won't scroll. I've tried changing the settings in Go Launcher to the Default setting (to allow scrolling wallpapers) but that didn't help.
Anyone else having this problem?

Would you mind sharing how you changed permissions? I.e. what app used and changed from/to what?
My mom downloaded a live wallpaper and like the others, it keeps getting changed back.

so to stop it from changing wallpapers you have to root it?

yea gotta root to stop it from changing wallpapers. I feel like a solution will come out that doesnt require root...hopefully

Solution

Thanks, that solution works for me.

[Q] Wallpaper Resize

Hello
I'm sorry if someone already posted this. I just flashed the new ICS leak (ucld4). When I go to set my wallpaper I get the orange box but it doesnt let me enlarge it. In other words, its only a portrait box and doesn't stretch for larger images. Is this a known bug? If it is any known fixes?
Thanks

Use a different launcher. If u like the ics look try nova, apex, or trebuchet

I'm using apex launcher. It still doesn't let me enlarge the orange box. Am I doing something wrong?

Try using quickpic to set wallpaper

Thanks. That app seems to fix the wallpaper issue.

Wallpapers get zoomed in, why?

I have been using zedge to get my wallpapers for some time, every now and then I find a really nice wallpaper and when I install it it gets zoomed in as if it's the resolution is to big and the wallpaper gets cut off. Is there any way to make the wallpaper fit entirely on the screen? I have tried to resize the wallpaper with no luck, I am also using nova launcher even though that probably doesn't make a difference.

Supposedly, Wallpapyrus will keep the resolution of your images intact.

Install the app called 'Wallpaper Setter' to solve the issue.

I tried both, and they do keep the resolution intact without croping for the home screen wallpaper but not the lock screen.

This (Wallpapyrus) worked for me on my freshly-upgraded ICS Galaxy S2 LTE. Thanks, chaps!

Any way to center wallpaper on my single homescreen using the pixel launcher?

When I first got the pixel, I seemed to be able to apply wallpapers that would automatically center the wallpaper on my single homescreen. I experimented with some widgets on a second screen for awhile, then I removed the second screen altogether. Now when I go to set any wallpaper, it will center it on what would be the center between two screens (so on the right edge of my screen), but I only have one. Is there any way to set this behavior? It's very annoying to have to manually center wallpapers on my single screen. If I install Nova, I can center the wallpapers no problem using Nova launcher, but I can't seem to do this anymore using the pixel launcher.

Did you remove the blank 2nd home screen the widgets were on?

Yes, mentioned that in the OP. I've removed the second screen with the widgets and icons. I only have a single homescreen right now, long pressing the homescreen only shows the one.

Sorry just saw the widgets were removed not the secondary screen

Ah I see that the wording there was confusing, I just edited it for clarity, Thanks.

You said it centers when applied with Nova right? Can you set it with Nova and then swap back to Pixel or does it automatically adjust when changing the launcher? I deleted the pixel launcher so I can't test.

I can just leave Nova installed, but not use it as the default launcher and I still get the option to use it to set the wallpaper which is a workaround. I'd like to not have to leave Nova installed if I'm not using it though.
