Weird.
I'm on stock unrooted. And it works for me...
Try setting force. Then reboot and set the wallpaper again.
Not working for me on Apex either...
Anyone figure out a way around this?
would love to have the scrolling wallpaper back
Force option is gone
There is no option "force" in my version of nova.
Previous versions was there.

I don't have the force option anymore either. Used to have it before I updated to kit Kat carrier version, and everything worked fine, wallpaper was scrolling. After the update and with nova prime v2.3, the wallpaper scrolling options only show off, on, and reverse. (None works to scroll when clicked) I'm not sure if this is a kit Kat thing or what. I'm with rogers HTC one.

I have HTC One, stock. Last version of nova gave me 4 options for wallpaper scrolling; Off, On, Reverse, Force scrolling. After i did Kitkat update, now i have 3 settings in wallpaper scrolling; On, Off, Reverse. My wallpaper is not scrolling. Wtf? And where the hell did Force scroll disapire? Previous version didnt work for me either on "on" and "reverse", it only worked on force but that option is gone now. Tried all sizes of wallpapers, changes fiew settings.... None of them work. Wtf?! ! !

My HTC One - stock att - just updated to Kitkat yesterday and I saw the same issue. After reading through several solutions and changing to different launchers to see if they had a different outcome (didn't), I started tinkering with my wallpaper changer. I'm using play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.wallpaperChanger "Wallpaper Changer" and get my images from my Dropbox, but I tinkered with the settings and when I set the option to 'Run as Live Wallpaper" my wallpaper scrolling started working again!
Don't know if this is an option, but it is working for me. Good luck!

Thanks. Worked for my Verizon One Max after the KitKat update.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 62.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023) on my HTC one and I'm currently using a custom theme app which doesn't have any notable features and it comes with a default wallpaper that doesn't appear in any folders coz it seems to be within the apk itself and can only be accessed via android settings
but senses no-wallpaper-scrolling still shines through despite the fact that the theme is designed to do otherwise
is there any way to force wallpaper scrolling without having to locate an image because that's not really an option here unless someone knows hot to pull an image out of an apk

I just came across LauncherPro Beta in the market. Man it's fast. Smoothest scrolling I have seen on any launcher.
http://www.launcherpro.com/
I'm very impressed with it
Wow! you're right, the scrolling is so much smoother than stock. I don't like the icons at the bottom though. I'm gonna try switching them with NinjaMorph
wow yeh...once the docks are customisable then this is the best launcher out there...easy
How do you activate the home screen previews?

Press home when you are on the home screen
I'm loving it. It's super fast and like the new screen selection overview
not bad, in fact, it's very good and responsive; couple of things that i'd like
1. most of you have already mentioned customizable docks (the only one i'd actually like to remove is the contact and replace it with market)
2. remove the text on the homescreens (like helixlauncher) for shortcuts/widgets
Holy crap this IS fast. Hope they make the dock a little bit like Helix2, and it'll be perfect.
Wow amazing!! A few things still need to be implemented (love walls, custom dock) but the Dev has already stated he is working on it. A few other things, there is no home icon once you're in the app drawer, you have to press the back button to access the home screens again. Also, there is no '3D effect' with the drawer scrolling.
Will be my default wall for sure after those issues are resolved. GREAT start though!
Noob question....How do you switch between launchers? I had Launcher pro activated then went to settings, manage applications and force stopped it to go back to the original I had running but now want to turn back on LauncherPro to compare and not quite sure how to do that, thanks for any help

clear defaults for the launcher, press home, and then it should ask what launcher you want to use.

On the same screen, press the 'Clear Defaults' button. Then press the home button on your phone and it should prompt you to select the launcher of your choice

Go into Settings> Applications> Manage applications> scroll to whichever launcher you have set to default, select it, then select "clear defaults." After that, when you press the Home button you'll have the choice of which launcher to use and can set your option as default.

an easier solution is to use the free app on the market called Home Switcher
i just installed it and it's very simple and easy to use; one click and you can switch default to whatever launcher you have installed
It would be great if we could get a system app version.
I think I got it, thanks!

you may want to try ADW launcher and HelixLauncher (1 or 2)
Damn. After about 30 mins of use, I've decided that Helix has some serious competition here. I've been asking arctu/Faruq to add the Sense UI style home screen previews for months now, and he just couldn't do it. This is kick ass. If only it allowed pinch gesturing to trigger the previews.
Awesome Launcher, thanks for sharing!
ADWLauncher EX 1.1 released and ADWNotifier free for everyone
Hi everyone and happy new year!
I’ve released an small update for ADWLauncher EX with the following changes:
Added option to open the app drawer in full screen (hiding the dock/dockbar)
Added options to tweak the “fancy icon backgrounds” (now you can select a custom color and enable/disable glossy effect)
Fix the dock icons reverting sometimes on rotation
Fixed import/export ADW settings for Samsung devices running android 2.2.1 update
Lots of fixes for “ForceCloses” and other stability and code improvements.
And to celebrate the new year and the ADWLauncherEX success, I’ve published the ADWNotifier app free for everyone on the market!
Hope you enjoy!

amazing launcher
Thanks to you, my Launcherpro has been collecting some serious dust.........thank you x10 for the best launcher available!!!
Thanks for the update. This is by far my favorite launcher.one suggestion, is there any way to get the cube and book transition in next release. Keep up the good work.

Maybe I'll try out ADW Launcher EX now that ADWNotifier is free. I saw no reason paying for a "feature", which is standard with Launcher Pro.

sticking with it tho as its very pretty and very quick. As a non-developer not sure what I can do to help with testing/debugging
Can EX import settings from the free launcher yet?
Hey, I installed ADWLauncherEX form market. Now, I'm running into some problems:
The Launcher won't save any settings, I set. In fact, every time I exit the settings dialog, the changelog pops up again. Anyone know, what to do about that?

edit: found it, you have to use an app like root explorer and delete 2 directories located in dbdata/databases.I don't recall their exact name, but they both contained the string "adw" and were almost at the end of the list.

no worries man..i found one aswell,but most of the people with the same problem wrote they found two..
Nevertheless it works like a charm so..
Launcher works great for me so gar on a Galaxy S. However, I noticed one annoying thing: Loading the shortcut list for applications takes an eternity (I have 300+ apps installed). The same thing goes for the dialog in ADWNotfier, where you can select the SMS oder Mail-App. This definitely needs some code improvement.
Hey, I downloaded the app yesterday and it still wont download to my phone I have the captivate and it just runs a bar saying authorizing i left it overnight and it still has that running so i canceled and redid it, still nothing it wont physically install whats wrong?
I love the speed of ADW EX.
Only significant complaint so far is that there's no direct access to System Preferences from the launcher menu. Shouldn't have to go into sub-menus to access the system prefs.
Question: Is there a way to get SMS/Gmail/Voicemail notifications in the dock?
Both LauncherPro+ and Go Launcher will attach such counts to the relevant icons, but I don't see this in ADWLauncher EX. In ADW Settings > General Preferences > System Preferences there's options for "Show notifications" and "Bubble font size", but I have no idea how these apply. I sent myself a SMS, and though my Notification bar was showing one message, there wasn't anything visible in the Launcher itself.
-edit-
OK. Got it working. Didn't realize I need to download ADW Notifier as well.
Would be nice if the notifiers were smart and only wiped the numbers after you actually read the email (for example) rather than as soon as you open Gmail though. That's how Go Launcher seems to work.
So far I'm liking this. I am having a problem, and I don't know if it's a feature or a bug. Every time I swipe down on any part of the screen the notification bar will come down. I switched back to Launcher Pro and it did not do this. Also when switching to the hidden dock it drags the icon form the normal dock. I would also like to see a way to change the dock backgrounds like on Launcher pro. And I'm with saltorio, It would be nice if there was a system prefs from the main menu. But I could get used to it where it is now. Keep up the good job.

So is ADW ever going to get some widgets similar to LPP? Would live to give ADW a serious consideration but having to pay for other apps just to make up for ADWs shortcomings doesn't make sense.
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.

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.

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.
Last night I was manually updating 4 apps from Google Play and after the 4th updated my Note restarted itself. When it came back to the homescreen it was with a clean install of Go Launcher Ex; 4x4 icons, requests to download Go widgets and none of my icons, folders or widgets to be seen anywhere. Majorly pi$$ed off with it, so much so that I'm back to using TW at the moment. I can't for the life of me remember what the last update before the reboot was but I do know there was a Go Launcher update ready to download after that. Anybody else have this issue, or did I just get 'lucky'?

You're absolutely right and it's my bad that I didn't. Still hacked off that it happened though.
Something like this happened to me. The Note restarted on "safe mode". I could read it on the bottom of the screen, a bit transparent so it could be there and you don't see it properly. On safe mode almost all apps that aren't stock are disabled. I had to restart the phone 2 or 3 times in a row to reboot in the normal mode.
When it happened to me I thought that it was a factory reset
Hope this is your case

Yep, lesson learned. Always backed up my previous devices but got sloppy with the Note. Starting again today. Empathy appreciated.
only ever had that happen on my old hd2 when go launcher crashed
Go Launcher has now been reinstalled, reconfigured and backed up to the sd card. I best get on and do some work now.

I have a problem even with ADW Launcher EX - lags when you have 3 screens of widgets... Go Launcher isn't my favourite launcher, but has less lags than ADW... I dont know, which launcher shall I use...
Today, I tried SPB Shell - very smooth, fast, no lags and nice - but I don't think it is worth it's price
Problem with last update
Since the last update I cannot use Preferences: the screen shows up one second, then back to the home screen.
Also, some widgets settings do not show up, and I cannot add applications to home screens.
why if i use go launcher ex (active), can't find S-Planner widget in the widget list in home screen, does anyone know?
it works well with TW launcher, widget looks like hidden in go launcher
I think S-planner become one most important app here

I think I read somewhere that the S Planner widget shares some components with the TouchWiz launcher; hence it won't work with 3rd party launchers.
Anyone else using ADW EX launcher's custom shortcuts? I'd been using them successfully until recently. This is what I do: I create a Custom Shortcut, assign a Launcher Action to it (assigning each app drawer category to a custom shortcut), and then assigning an icon from the BigDX Serenity theme. Then I drag the custom shortcut to my dock, and I have all of my apps sorted in categories, easily accessible from my dock. And because I've used an icon for each, that represents that particular app category, I quickly know which dock icon contains which apps.
But now, the custom icons won't stick. They keep reverting to a generic icon after a reboot or after I use Titanium Backup or just about anything. I suspect this has something to do with being rooted, as my husband's Note doesn't do this. He's not rooted.
Needless to say, this is annoying, as I can't remember which icon contains which apps. They all look the same! And I have 11 of them.
Anyone else experience this? I emailed the developer, but have received no response.
EDIT: This seems to only happen when the Custom Shortcut is for a Launcher Action. The icons don't revert to generic if my Custom Shortcut is for an Application.
So, 108 views and no one's experienced this issue? Anyone know of a better way to contact the developer? I've emailed twice, with no reponse.
This problem, while not critical, is extremely annoying.

i don't think it has anything to do with being rooted... i think the problem is on adw launcher..
why don't you try clearing adw launcher's data and and see what happens.... adw has backup
feature right?.. back your preferences then clear data on settings/app manager/adw launcher
let's start on that.....
and i saw on playstore that this bigdx theme is a separate download and not from adw...
so you might wanna clear data on bigdx too.. i think that'll solve your problem..
it's not a system issue anyways... so it's either adw or bigdx theme...
or maybe you are using some kind of task manager that kills your bigdx theme on background......

Okay, so I did this:
1. Backed up ADW.
2. Cleared data.
3. Restored ADW.
4. Assigned a custom icon to one of my dock shortcuts.
5. Restart ADW (this typically wipes out my custom icons, as does a reboot)
6. Custom icon is back to generic.
Can't clear date or cache on theme, as those options are greyed out.
Thanks for your suggestions, but still no luck.

hhmm.. try clearing your data again but don't restore your preferences.. set them all over again.. if it still ends up the same try using a different theme (free ones so you dont have to spend) ..
and if it works then the problem is in your bigdx theme... i hope it helps i don't use adw but most app problems are fixed by clearing data..

Ugh, I'd really like to not have to switch themes. I really like this one and have been using it successfully for almost two years, until recently. I'll try your additional suggestions and see what happens. Thanks!
EDIT: Crap, it's the theme. I did all of that and then assigned a picture to a shortcut and a BigDX icon to a shortcut. Restarted ADW. The picture remained, and the BigDX icon reverted to generic. Guess I'll try contacting the theme developer and see if I get anywhere. This is a bummer. It was working perfectly until a week or two ago.
Thanks for your help!

you don't have to switch.... i'm just saying you try a different theme and see if it is working.. coz if it's working., then the problem is in bigdx theme and you should contact it's developer and not the adw team.. :angel:

at least we now know the problem!.. :good:
yeah that's odd to suddenly stop working... maybe an update on adw or bigdx caused it....
I tried another theme, and it worked fine. Emailed the BigDX developer, but I've not had any luck emailing app developers lately.
Thanks again!
Okay, I keep reading that this developer and that developer is really responsive. But I've emailed the ADW developer twice and the BigDX developer, and neither has ever gotten back to me. I've been very cordial and complimentary, and included my issues/question. Nothing.
How do you folks get people to answer you?
late to the party but also very annoyed with this situation....
I like to remove the dock and the action bar, so having a way to launch the app drawer is something I need on my home screens... but now I can't do that when im using theme icons
Havent sent any emails but may do so soon if I can't find a solution to this issue....
