Wallpaper scrolling - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed that on my device the wallpaper is static when scrolling left or right through the stock launcher.
Unfortunately i don't remember if this was true on 4.4 or it changed with 4.4.2. Does anyone have an idea on how to enable the old scrolling effect?

It seems to be dependent on what app you use when selecting set picture as... If you use photos from Google+ then you get a static, non-scrolling background. If you use the gallery app it scrolls fine.
Didn't know that.

I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood. I thought you wanted no scrolling.

What do you mean exactly? If the wallpaper is 1920x1080, I cant understand how it could scroll.

1080x1920

use 1080 1920 for static

Sorry, man, I can never remember that width goes first. As the kind members have indicated above, the wallpaper must be 1080 wide by 1920 high. (Thanks guys)

Giving LauncherPro a go, but I may revert back to stock. LP is more familiar and has better widgets, but that side dock makes it too phone-like.

Wallpaper request thread! [HD]

Okay, so I know that the resolution is very odd for this phone's wallpapers. This comes out as a huge plus for me because, well, I'm bored. I am also going to college for graphic design and could use all the practice I can get to be ahead in the class. :fingers-crossed:
So, this is where you (yes you) get to take advantage of the situation. If you are wandering around the interwebz and see an image that you would like to use as your background but it doesn't meet the resolution requirements, post it here and I will [try] to replicate it as best I can, if nothing else I will at least re-size it for you.
Rules:
1. Has to be graphic design (anything I can replicate without having to go out with a camera, these images will only be resized.)
2. No inappropriate images (use your best judgement)
3. Have fun, no arguing.
say thank you or go &$!% yourself

[Q] Best resolution for wallpapers?

So I know the phone is 1080p, which means 1920x1080. But since the phone is portrait that turns into 1080x1920, right?
But that's good if I want a wallpaper for just 1 home screen and no scrolling. But if I have 2 home screens and want scrolling, do I need a 2160x1920 wallpaper?
But then if I have three, does that mean I need 3241x1920?
Or am I just going too far? But 1920x1080 wallpapers in landscape will just zoom in won't they?

Yes, yes, no, yes, yes.
2160x1920 is the size of the stock wallpapers. GEL will adjust the scrolling based on him many home screens you have.

This wallpaper is the correct resolution, but what's causing the gap below notification bar? That's Nova launcher.

Also, each launcher can call for a different wallpaper size. 2160x1920 is what the stock launcher calls for. Does Nova call for the same size?

When I used Nova, I believe it actually stated what size it was looking for when setting the wallpaper.

In the launcher? Pretty sure it's normal?

By looking at his SS, looks like he's pretty stock and unroored to me.. So removing the glow will surely be impossible for him :silly:

Let my SS speak for itself. Anyone experiencing this? It is really hard to unsee it and very annoying to see especially if I am using black wallpapers.
