I have a problem with the wallpaper picker after update to JB: If the image is portrait I cannot set the whole image as wallpaper. See the attach image of the problem.
Anyone has this issue? Is there any fix to this issue?
Thats because part of the width is used for the scrolling. If you disable scrolling wallpaper you can use the entire image.
I dont know how to disable it in the stock JB rom though.
Wallpaper scrolling is disable in JB with sense 4+ and as far as I know it cannot be enabled.
Ok, thats weird, you should be able to use the whole picture then.
Solution found. I installed GO Launcher and disable wallpaper scrolling from GO settings. Now the wallpaper cropping works OK. It seems that wallpaper scrolling was enabled after all, but the default sense launcher ignored this option.

Funny, I was thinking of suggestion GO Launcher, but I suspected you wanted to stick with stock.

I'm afraid there's no solution with stock yet? It's just annoying because now that the wallpaper scrolling is permanently disabled in stock JB, i think it's best for a 540x960 wallpaper..

I want to stick with the stock launcher, but when I disable wallpaper scrolling from GO launcher it remains disabled for stock launcher to. It's not a perfect solution but it's the best I found.
I hope the HTC guys will fix this issue, but I'm not holding my breath...

Oh, look at that. Thats nice then, and shouldnt be hard to make an app that disables it without the need for a 2nd launcher.
Edit: I did a quick search on google, maybe this one can help? Not really scrolling WP enable/disable, but looks quite good anyway. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shirobakama.wallpaper
This app seems to be recommended by many as well: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii

I spoke with HTC support and their answer is that the wallpaper cropping is working as designed:
"kindly note that this is not an issue this is how Google (Owner of Android) decide to be used this option"
and after telling them that this isn't a Google related issue:
"The way how your phone is cropping the image is how our engineers decide to be."
So I think that this issue will not be fixed, at least the first app works OK and I don't need a second launcher.
Yeah, of course its google's fault.. Thats why the issue is present on AOSP roms and when using other launchers, as well as all other manufactures roms... oh wait... it isnt...
Why cant they just admit they (probably) forgot to set a flag that scrolling wallpaper = false in their launcher... Because thats quite obviously the case here.. The launcher(sense) does not support scrolling wallpapers, but android thinks it does..

I have tried 3 of the best launchers around: APEX, NOVA and the brand new version of ADW (could not try CHAMELEON as there is no free trial).
With all of them I have the same problem: when i choose the wallpaper, it is not set properly, only the center portion of it is diplayed.
This does not happen with Touch UI.
Any one knows why and if there's a solution?
Thanks
Yea. Same thing here. That's the case with all TouchWiz devices. Nova had some advanced option to center the wallpaper correctly but this is missing in the newer builds. So I sent a mail to the Nova developer... no reply. That was like more than a month ago.
It is correctly centered if you first launch TouchWiz and then Nova. So there must be a workaround.

what do you mean with your last sentence?
I was actually planning to freeze TW not to have it running in the backgroud...
And I guess I will have to root to be able to add widgets with drag and drop
By launching TouchWiz first and then Nova the wallpaper is set correctly. However, this is no real workaround since as you said, you want a replacement for TouchWiz and do not want to launch it.
What I wanted to say is that there seems to be a workaround possible that you would have to write into Nova... but since we are no developers we are stuck.

have tried go launcher hd for tablets and no wallpaper issue... pity it's a too basic launcher...
The wallpaper has to be 1280X800. if not, it wont center. that what happened to me and i figured it out. try it and you will see what i mean. or you can look at the pre installed wallpapers, all of them are 1280X800.

there's a resize feature in android when choosing a wallpaper to avoid the burden of resizing/cropping the picture myself: with some launcher it works (TW, stock and go launcher hd) with some it doesn't... so the problem is in the launcher

Multi Picture Live Wallpaper is a great way to make sure your images fit the way you want them to on the screen, despite the resolution of the photo. Just set it to one picture, one screen, stretch to fit, and you will be a happy camper.
does anyone know what folder the stock wallpapers reside? I cannot find them using My Files or ES File Explorer.....
Thanks.
oh, and I wanted to use them with Simple Image Wallpaper Free (lets you use any wallpaper and not hve to worry about size)...
Sorry for my english first, but i find solution today. In play store, there is free app called "simple image wallpaper free" . It is "live wallpaper" app, where you can set static image from your gallery and it works pretty good.

Use "Photo Wall" live wallpaper
Maybe it was added with the JellyBean update because I don't remember seeing Photo Wall before. But you can just select one picture from the gallery and no more weird wallpaper problems.
I like Simple Image Wallpaper Pro because it has some really helpful features for me but it's good Samsung put a workaround right into the tablet without using a 3rd party solution.

I just figured out I can make folders on my gsll phone in the app menu. (Not the home screens) I can put all the carrier BS and other app icons I don't want to see in there. It brought my app screens to 3 swipes from 5. Is that a standard Android feature or something Samsung added in with touchwiz? I would be interested in doing the same on my tablet.
That sounds like a Samsung Touchwiz feature. As far as I know, stock app drawer does not support folders/dedicated pages.
However, you can simply get a non-stock launcher such as Apex or Nova and they support app drawer folders, plus a multitude of extra features lacking in the stock launcher

I want to be able to stop the wallpaper from scrolling for my wifes N5, she's just moved on from a Galaxy S4 and doesn't like how the N5 scrolls her wallpaper picture.
Is there a way to stop the scrolling while still using the stock GEL launcher? I tried a few things people have suggested on forums but none work for the N5.
I don't want to use Nova or anything like that, I want to keep the GEL launcher as we both really like it.
If there isn't any way I'll just write a quick live wallpaper to show only one image and that will stop the scrolling, I'm just shocked someone else hasn't done anything yet if you can't change the stock launcher.

I believe that the Xposed Module - 'Xposed GEL Settings' allows you to disable wallpaper scrolling in the GEL launcher.

Top 2 are launchers (kitkat launcher is horrible compared to GEL, tried them last night).
wallpaperwizardrii doesn't work with the N5, exits the app every time I select "no scroll".
What I want is a way to do it without rooting or installing a custom launcher... e.g. keeping it 100% stock.
Looks like I'll need to write a "live" wallpaper that isn't live. Seems strange to me.
Thanks.
If you choose a wallpaper that is 1920x1080 resolution it should not scroll. There's a thread in themes and apps that had just those in portrait mode.

This is the answer. But I think you want a 1080x1920 wallpaper if you use 1920x1080 it will want to scroll across those 1920 pixels.

For whatever reason, scrolling wallpaper still works with some launchers. I have it working with ADW EX and I've heard at least Go Launcher described as still working. I just don't like the way ADW scrolls wallpaper.
Does anyone understand why we have an issue? Is there some way that AOSP Android allows for scrolling, and this is not working in KitKat or Sense has broken it? I've read Nova used to have a force scrolling option that was removed. Does anyone still have it working on that older version? Why was that option removed?
For me, with Solo launcher, wallpaper scrolling doesn't work. Themer, it doesn't work, Go Launcher scrolling works fine. I even like the transition, which makes sense, as opposed to the way ADW transitions. What a stupid way to choose which launcher I will use.
I guess I don't care about icons and traditional themes, though I'm definitely impressed with Themer's abilities, it's just not what I'm looking for... Just scrolling wallpaper, please.

Same feelings here for Nova. I love everything else about it. I continually try new CM nightlies but then miss the duo cam and IR features.
Edit: Oh and the main one, swipe to wake
I'm going to update this post later. There's several live wallpaper apps that restore wallpaper scrolling. I think the one in using now is landscape wallpaper. It works completely and invisibly, as if scrolling was miraculously restored. I even like being able to auto-switch walls on unlock.
EDIT:
Landscape Wallpaper - PROS: Better settings than WC, IMO; gives you lockscreen wall control, "scrolling direction," "scrolling source" of simulated or launcher (method), elastic effects, and image quality.; if choose simulated scrolling source, has further scrolling effects! (almost won me over with this... if could add "border mode" option to infinite scroll wallpaper (visible edge/seam, not jump/scroll back), I'd donate/buy this) CONS: Maybe a PRO, scrolls wall behind app drawer, but can't disable this. Can't create "albums" to choose from; only single image or folder
Wallpaper Changer - PROS: can create albums from single file, folder, or individually selected images from multiple locations and switch between them at will!; simple and works well. CONS: settings seemed glitchy or quirky for me; can add, but apparently not remove individual images from albums!?
Scrolling Live Wallpaper - Pretty simple, it adds wallpaper scrolling and worked for me. I don't remember it being bad, but I hated that when I took a screenshot, it became obvious it lowered the resolution/quality of the wallpaper dramatically, probably for performance. I don't think it had an option to disable this. It also scrolled unnaturally, imo. I think it simulated the scrolling effect, but poorly.
Wallpaper Wizardrii - I'm pretty sure I read this will enable scrolling for launchers that don't support it. I didn't try it. Looks popular, but has tons of wallpaper wizard effects that I don't need or want.
TIP: If using stock lockscreen, and maybe regardless, along with 3rd party default homescreen -- set same live wallpaper as wallpaper in Blinkfeed or stock launcher (settings same, regardless of launcher). Annoying when choosing single or small set of images; after a reboot, I always had a non-chosen wallpaper load, then refresh with expected live wallpaper after homescreen loads.

The latest Nova beta that came out today has an option to force wallpaper scrolling that works great.
Love the phone, but for a company to tout its performance I'd expect a buttery smooth experience. However, this is not the case. I occasionally experience a slight lag or judder while moving across screens, opening apps, opening folders, etc. I don't know if this is due to 7.0 nougat as I have heard some stories of its inefficiencies which is why its updated to 7.1 now, but I do hope that when it does get updated to 7.1 in Feb this will go away.

Are you talking primarily Huawei launcher?

Yeah I already did that too. It helps for sure. Another thing...In developer settings, right under the Window and Transition animation scale settings, there is a setting called "smallest width" that you can use to change the screen density. The higher the number, the smaller everything gets (opposite from changing the screen density in the build prop). Anyways, when I change this to my liking, the Huawei Launcher gets very choppy, but the Google now launcher is very smooth. So that's another reason to use the Google launcher or Nova.
The issue is the twin app do not work with 3rd party launchers....

I like to keep my display size on large and set the value in developer settings to 500. This keeps the navigation buttons bigger and more spread out. If I set the display to small and then adjust the value, my nav buttons get really small and very close together.
Keyboard seems to be non-responsive from time to time. I have noticed this accross multiple apps, inclusive of chrome. Have to back out and click the input area of the apps/browser for the keyboard to work again.
