I've been on CM10 for a while, but for the last couple of weeks, I've been trying out the new JB Sense ROMs. Has wallpaper scrolling been disabled in the JB ROMs? It's been a while but I would swear that the Sense ICS Roms had scrolling wallpaper.

I've been wondering this same thing. It seems that since the homescreens loop from end to end it no longer scrolls the wallpaper. I've dug through the settings but could not find a way to change it.
Yes, it has been disabled, while ICS had scrolling wallpaper. This is due to the new feature in Sense 4+ that allows the homescreens to loop around, and HTC didn't want the wallpaper to get funky when moving from the last homescreen to the first, so they disabled scrolling altogether.

I am looking for a way to use the rotate option for ALL screens on my EVO.. the rotate option only works in certain apps and i would like to be able to rotate my Home Screen along with My Phone Dialer, is there anyway to do this?
I am running a Rooted Stock Rom on my HTC EVO with a netarchy custom kernal ... what are my options to achieve this effect?
PS: Just to be more clear, by rotate i mean: When you turn the phone horizontally, i would like the picture on the screen to also turn horizontally rather than like the home screen stays vertical even when i turn the phone horizontal
stock rom won't do landscape homescreen. You'll need to flash to a custom rom to unlock that. even still, I've never seen a landscape dialer.
Or run a custom launcher, I know ADW has a landscape options. But some of the widgets/icons are not optimized for it and look funny
there's absolutely no way to flash a mod that will allow the stock rom to do this? Are there sense roms out there that allow for landscape home screens or only AOSP roms that allow for the landsape of the home screen, and if there are sense roms that allow landscape homscreen why couldn't it be done on the stock rom ?
It's not necessarily the "ROM". It's the launcher (home screen). If you're rooted, you can use these on the stock ROM, or any other Sense/AOSP based ROMs.
LauncherPro, ADW, ADW.EX and GO Launcher are some of the popular ones that allow landscape home screens.

i just want my stock rooted sense rom with the ability to landscape my home screen...
The HTC Sense home launcher does not support landscape rotation and there is no modification available to do so.

I run Warm Z 2.2 its sense 2.0 based and offers full landscape support.
my dad has the HTC EVO Shift, and his phone is able to do the home screen landscape, and that is also running sense 2.0 -- so technically... it is possible
does Warm Z offer landscape for the dialer?
I'm looking to be able to stand my EVO up with the kickstand on my desk at work and be able to dial on the phone with it horizontal sittin up on the kickstand

Your 100% right on the fact that your dads Shift is running Sence 2.0 and yes the launcher dose landscape. The problem is that your eVo, even though its rooted its running a "stock" rom and it still has only Sence 1.0. So it's not possible on your rom.
I would think that there's alot of coding that would have to be done to make it happen. And with all of the custom roms being ported to the eVo from devices that already have Sence 2.0(and Froyo) there's not that much of a demand to port just the Sence 2.0.
Heck, it may just not even be possible at all!?!?
Your best bet may be to find a rom that has been ported and is running stock Sence 2.0. There are a few of them out there... just have to look.

Phone and contacts that will rotate to landscape are out for cyanogenmod since nightly #78, you just have to enable it in the Call settings and Contact settings.
I have searched the web and the forums thin looking for a Calendar Widget with the same behavior as the stock Sense calendar. Im not talking about the Agenda one, im talking about the month view version of it.
I know about, and have tried Jorte, Pure Grid calendar and some other similar ones, but none of them has the behavior that i really like from the Sense one.
I want a calendar that ONLY shows one month at a time, and when i scroll up and down it should jump one whole month instead of scrolling smooth a week at a time...
APW Calendar sort of does it, but it does not support scrolling, it can only jump with buttons...
Can it really be that the Sense style Widget have not been ported to run on other launchers..?! Or that anyone haven't made something like what i'm looking for?
(I'm using ARHD 6.2.1 ICS with ADW Launcher EX, on a Sensation XE)

Yeah I have tried that too, and i really liked it, but i prefer ADW Launcher to GO, so i was kind of hoping a calendar like that existed somewhere else
I use launcher pro and that had a similar widget ... really loved it.
Problem is that LPP widget does not work on ICS based roms. Once you try it to place the widget on the screen, it will crash and then LPP will continuously crash. There is no way to get LPP to work again without reinstalling the rom.
Am keen on getting a similar widget and sincerely hope that someone points me to one
Is it only me or is it an issue with ICS on skyrocket. On all the ROMs I tried all giving the same issue.
The window size for most of the context menu options ( e.g. trying to add Widgets) is very small compared to the original I see on GB.
I am using ICS on my KindleFire also, and don't see this issue there.
So this seems something related to ICS and Skyrocket.
Anyone else to confirm this?
Is it a launcher issue? I have the ported SG3 TouchwizUX and stock Touchwiz loaded on ucle2. Add widget menus looks like this...

Personally I'm running the Apex launcher and I absolutely love it. By far my favorite launcher from speed to customization to down right sexiness. Here's what the widget menus look like, as well as my apollo widget made resizable by Apex (Sorry for the watermark)

Should probably also state I'm running CM9-6/20 Nightly on UCLE2
Its not only the Adding Widget Screen, its everywhere.
See the screen from Poker Deluxe Game.
The window is clipped.
Could not find a solution for this issue, moved back to GB 2.3.6
So yeah, I installed the Fallout v3 ICS rom and I can't change lockscren wallpaper, the option just isn't there in the settings. Anyone else able to set a custom wallpaper for their lockscreens? If so, what ROM are you using?
I changed my wallpaper to a custom image (a photo I had taken on my phone) and it replaced the lock screen as well.
System Settings > Personalize > Wallpaper > Gallery
Not sure if its supposed to do that but it did, only been running Fallout v3.0 for 1 day so still learning but so far its a great rom, very stable.
On fallout there is no possibility to have two different wallpapers on home screen and lock screen.
The lock screen icons and wallpaper will always depend on your home screen and the dock icons
Yeah, that's Sense 4.0A for you! No Lock screen wallpapers, No customizable shortcut icons...

Decided to go back to a sense 3.6 rom.
Went AOKP for a bit....the lack of sms preview on the lockscreen annoyed me. Spent an entire day flashing, and set up different roms! Ah well, I'll just stick with this until HTC do an official release
For anyone that cares, the new v4 of the fallout rom solved all these issues
I dont know if this is at all possible without theming but I was curious if you could get the sense 4+ on an aosp rom. Maybe not all the extra apps like the music and messaging and camera but the lockscreen and the widgets. I have tried all sorts of stuff with go launcher and beautiful widgets but they just don't do it justice. Is there a way to port this???? Has it already been done?

First of all, this should be in the Q&A section. Secondly, the closest you will get is a modded Sense ROM. I jumped ship from sense as fast as I could so I don't really follow the news, but I have heard that Viper ROM is the most AOSP-like Sense ROM.
No... Certain aspects or sense rely on the sense launcher... Like the clock...idk about the lockscreen...but mostly everything else is a no go on a diff launcher
Sense is very heavily tied into the framework. Ports are possible, like when I had a captivate there was a sense port but it was extremely unstable. It's just not worth the hassle really
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
you could always use a senseless rom so you could have other launchers but have sense lockscreen still
Go with Viper rom, use Apex or Nova launchers. You will have an Aosp style launcher while still maintaining the lockscreens, and HD Widgets will look just like sense.

In my experience all third-party launchers introduce a notable lag (compared to Rosie) when opening home screens, app drawer, etc. And this is with all possible animations and other eye candy turned off. Seems that as long as Sense is running in the background you have to go through an extra layer to get to the Launcher.
