[Q] How to disable scrolling wallpaper on TF300T? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen this question asked on other device forums but not answered, so I'll ask it here in hopes you guys are more responsive. I have an Asus TF300T tablet running the latest stock JB ROM (firmware 10.6.18), and I have several wallpapers in 1280 x 800 that i want to see fullscreen on my tablet. But when I attempt to set one as my wallpaper, I get no option for fullscreen, only the resize handles that chops off much of the picture. Apex Launcher gives me the option of having a non-scrolling wallpaper but it doesn't appear to have any effect. So, how can I disable the annoying scrolling option? TIA for your help!

I spent a few days trying to find and answer to this a while back, but the only thing that came up was using an app to letterbox the picture to show more of it.

ADW EX

This works fantastic, disabled the dock and currently running 10 rows 7 columns
Asus weather widget looks standard size.
The bookmarks widget looks fantastic the larger use make it, you just get more on the screen.
Totally awesome IMO well worth the money.

Is there a specific version that you are using for TF? Or any version of ADW EX work?

1.3 and above is what you're looking for. Previous versions doesn't have support for high density screens so the 5 icon dock will be squished in the center, 1.3 addresses this.
I've tryed all the transition animations and *curve* is the best non lag one out of the bunch. No matter how many widgets it just wont slow the butter smooth scrolling.

Big pro's for me:
supports scrollable widgets
supports resizable widgets
Adjustable collumns and rows, currently running 9 x 7
more screens currently have 6
It scrolls fantastic, 100 times better than stock
3D transition affects
If the icon at the top left is bugging you? ask the developer! contacted them about various issues over the months and they always reply.
i installed adw ex 1.3.2 but cannot set it as default launcher. After installation when i hit the home icon there is no popup to let me choose launcher seems like it is not registered as a launcher..... i am not rooted......firmware is .13..... do i need to root to replace the stock launcher?
Experts please advise.

I assume you just go to settings > manage applications, then find launcher and press clear defaults, then press home and it should ask you.
well done....thanks....what a **** i have been, hahahahaha

Don't think its possible to just get rid of it. It looks like honeycomb places the app icon on the corner for some apps. The only way I can think of is to unpack the apk, put in a transparent icon, or change how it looks. Either way you do it though will reflect in the drawer also. Since this is a launcher though and it auto launches it might not matter that it will be an invisible icon. If it bothered me enough then I could just hide the app i guess.

[Q] ADW EX - Wallpaper shifting
Does anyone know how to stop the wallpaper from shifting? It seems to happen after turning off the screen or coming out of an app. It's driving me up the wall. I even downloaded some 2560x1600 wallpapers that people suggested to use and it still happens.
And on a side note selecting the option for the wallpaper to scroll doesn't do anything (in ADWsettings).
I love the ability to resize widgets but this wallpaper problem is making me go crazy

Not sure if that's related but when I installed GoLauncher my wallpaper also shifted. Even after uninstall and reboot it was still messed up. I had to select a different wallpaper and then select the old one again; then it was fixed. It seems that the 3rd party launcher don't work well with HC yet.
i found that if i turn off locking the screen orientation (i rarely ever use portrait mode) and changing the orientation the background resets itself. but it is still rather annoying having to tilt it portrait and tilt it back.
no one else has this problem?
The same thing happened to me when I tried to use "Wallpaper Wizardrii"...until I uninstalled, then switched wallpaper...I'd get the weird shift after every reorientation....like the wp was resizing each time.
I was having major issues with wallpapers in adw ex, ended up using multi wallpaper live wallpaper to solve this, it can show a single image or a slide show.
I think the adw dev just got a honeycomb tablet so hopefully it will be fixed.

That not the right size dimensions so it won't work if you want something that big try 2560x2035 or smaller 1610x1280
All my installed wallpapers are the latter and i never have any issues.
I just started using ADW EX, and whenever I try to resize any widgets, the screen seems to freeze. That is, I can still resize the widge, but I can't deselect it, or select anything else on the screen -- including app icons, which stop functioning. I have to kill the app and relaunch to get it to respond again.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
ADW is certainly feature-rich, but it is crying for some documentation, which I can't seem to find.

After you resize it, just hit the back button.

Remove Multiple homescreens???

I have Team Eos 2.0 installed on my Xoom and i want to remove multiple homescreens cause 1 is enough for me,is there any tweak or any way to do that?
I also would like to add this wallpaper:
http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/191/5/5/iPhone_Raindrops_for_Mac_by_PrincessCakeNikki.jpg
as defaul without cropping it, because when im trying to put it i have to always crop it first so it fits in landscape and portrait mode and it screws all the quality of the wallpaper, any suggestions?
I don't think 7he ROM itself is set up for custom home screen counts. But you can download a replacement launcher like Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. Those are ICS ready and are favored by many. Both are free. Give em a spin

I was wondering the same thing you were, so I took Legatos suggestion and installed nova launcher to see what it does and it took care of the multiple homescreens and other little things.... but i kept having problems with my wallpapers resolution which always have from the start, like you. Try multi picture live wallpaper app. I really like the results. I tried it on the wallpapaer you provided, and considering it isn't optimized for xoom, i think it is turning out pretty good.... hope this helps you, it has me.
id also recommend multi picture live wallpaper, does the job nicely plus its free

Backgrounf Wallpaper not spanning!

Hello,
I got my tranformer infinity a day ago, and after palying with it I tried apex launcher and go launcher, then i removed them as i didnt liked them. Then the next day i noticed my background wallpaper was not spanning left or right as I swiped left or right to different screens. Im suspecious that those custom launchers might have caused it, but others have same problem. Anyone having same issue? or had fixed theres?
The wallpaper doesnt scroll on the infinity.

REALLY? WOW.........
why they removed that feature?
Maybe because of performance, but Id say its because of the resolution. Try to set new wallwallpaper, a big area will be cutted out. Imagine that the wallpaper has to be more than twice as large if you want it to scroll. I am currently using >4096x3072 wallpapers for the best image quality, and have problems finding good ones. Scrollable would be 8000x3000.

1. I assume you're on JB stock, from ASUS, right? I'm not on a stock ROM, now, but I'll try and extract them from a backup and upload ' em somewhere. Can't do that from my train commute, though (connection is.... crap, to say the least).
2. All launchers, save very few, use the same wallpaper process, meaning that it doesn't really depends on which launcher you use. Have you tried QuickPic for setting the wallpaper?
3. I do not understand what you are referring to at all, so can't help you there. Can you clarify, or rephrase?

Thank you for your help i am awaiting your uploaded pictures
For the 3rd question my answer is that sometimes when i am on my docking station and typing in the stock web browser and want to delete with backspace it doesn't do it. And sometimes when i am scrolling with touch in any web browser it won't scroll :S
I've got a fix for the wallpaper.
Download this and give it a shot. I've had no lagginess on JB based launchers but it lags TSF pretty bad.

You can choose different images for portrait and landscape or just decline to rotate the landscape at all.
Finding 1200x1920 images is pretty damn hard though.

For the web browser not wanting to scroll, in the stock browser, type about:debug press enter, then hit then menu key, 3 dots in the upper right corner, and hit settings. Next hit the labs tab and check enable light touch, it's towards the bottom of the list. This should help with any touch input used in the stock browser.

Anybody can post me the stock gallery pictures? I am waiting for them. Btw i tried those settings for the browser it's okay.
Thank you

[Q] Cm10.1 vs cleanrom?

What do you guys recommend? Which is smoother?
Well CleanRom used to blow CM 10 out of the water performance wise however, since the most recent CM 10 came out I have enjoyed CM 10 more. They are both incredibly smooth and make your tablet worth the good money you paid for it. I personally think it comes down to preference. If you want a more stock android feel then you should go with CM 10 but if you want the Asus stuff then go with CleanRom. Your best bet is to flash both of them and see which one you like better.
Thanks! What is it that's better about stock that's so great? What features does it offer?

For me, I love the Asus quick settings. it has the quick toggles. the screen lock on bottom is useful when playing games, and the location and size of the notifications area. with Cromi and Asus, the notifications are larger. on a 10 inch tablet, there's no need to try to save screen space.
Basically, Cromi is great if you use landscape mode all the time, and Android stock is set up more for portrait view.

Add on to that: If you install the app called toggle notifications, you will have any type of toggles (widget, app launcher, settings etc..) in your notification, which keep everything stock like without messy pull down or widgets and of course cromi is the most trouble FREE rom.
