Hey folks.
So I have this weird problem where my wallpaper won't centre properly. It looks fine on the preview but when it's set it looks zoomed in and and a little off centre to the right.
I'm rooted and using Nova Launcher Prime as well but these issues were there before that anyway.
Anyone have any thoughts or a work around? It's only mildly annoying and not a huge deal but I'm a bit of a perfectionist so I'd like to get it sorted.

How are you setting the wallpaper? Are you going into your actual S6 settings, then wallpaper? or are you long pressing the home screen and using Nova to set it?
I've noticed this too, wallpaper sets like it should on lock screen but on home screen it's zoomed and moved down..
Also I noticed this is a problem with a nova launcher..
Samsung screws with the cropping to implement the dynamic perspective feature in the default launcher.
Add a border of 10% around the image you want to set and then try again. May need to play with it a bit depending on the launcher. Works for GNL. For example, if your image is 2000x2000 pixels, add a border to make it 2200x2200. I use the "Fit" feature of this app to do it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iudesk.android.photo.editor
I think I found the issue. I turned off wallpaper scrolling in Nova settings and the wallpapers seem to centre correctly now.

Had a similar problem using ADW Launcher, and disabling the wallpaper hack (system>adv settings) fixed the problem. I believe it's off by default but I restored a backup after a format.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to ThatChinskiGuy for pointing me in the right direction.

I just got the ADW.Launcher and it has been the best home replacement app so far.
You have the nexus one like app drawer and shortcut dock, and you can adjust the speed the pages flick, page bounce back (like the iphone) and set the number of pages you want to have.
Fully supports all widgets, and really fast (no lag at all like open home or a home)
the best thing is i've used my x10 for 5 hours straight and its only gone down to 95% battery left.
give it a try!
Am using it. Love the Sense Preview, although it could be less choppy (but they fixed most of that in the latest version). Also like the dock bar, and applications drawer.
it great, however, before on one of main screen I had option to turn wifi, bluetooth, phone and gps on the fly by tapping on it. Now after I installed ADW, it is gone, does anybody know how to get it back or something alternative?

Yeah, it should be a widget. I believe it is called quick settings.
Easily the best homescreen replacements. Tried a few Home++ for example and this one is a keeper... havent tried GDE yet....maybe in a while but for now ill stick with this
where can i get this?

are you using a task killer when i was using one they would stop working sometimes even if i excluded them but they seem to be working fine for me with autokiller
No I don't use a task killer, it just doesn't actually let me put the live wallpaper on, I can see it when I preview it but when I try to set it the background turns black for a sec or two then back to my regular wallpaper

Which live wallpaper in particular? All the ones I've used seem to work just fine.
All the ones I've tried, starfield, a halloween wallpaper, super mario, really ever one I've tried

I had similar issues before a while back. I researched it.The upper end ones have a hard time running, but the lower end ones work. Because of a bug in adw, it will often revert back to default wp. My suggestion is use launcherpro or zeam.
You wont have that issue. Although you may have to keep setting the upper end ones 2 or 3 times. Once it sets it stays on. Just to make sure your not trying to open them from the app tray are you? Because if you are they wont give you an option to open. Make sure your long pressing the home screen, selecting wallpapers,then selecting live wallpapers.
I've been using launcherpro lol and I know how to set live wallpapers but thank for the info, damn I guess their just not for me lol

I like Android but i hate the widgets and the Homescreen, i don't need them. So i like the apple surface. Is there a launcher/hack to show always the app surface/drawer/app depot? I use.the go launcher and if it's possible i will use it further more.
Thx a lot!!!

Why not just resize your homescreen grid to hold more apps and put all your apps on scrollable homescreens? With adw you can even make the dock disappear all together to make more room for app icons.

For.example the go launcher has a perfect app depot with recently used apps and running apps in tab style thats what i love and want.

Use ADW or LauncherPro and change settings so it won't close App Drawer when you open a new app.
Check if MIUI is available for your device, its does not have a app draw.

Lol then why not just take the fraction of a second d to open the app drawer? Lol doesn't take long. Or just place ur apps on the home screen

Just get a ducking iPhone. Who doesn't like Widgets? This post almost seems kind of trolly Polly if you ask me.
as said above .. Miui is pretty similar to iphone .. no Apps Drawer .. everything is on the main screen ... and its very fast ..

I suggest the same. also set number of home screens to (1). plus since you don't like the home screen, change the settings so that when you press the home button it pulls up your app drawer.

@fifarunnerr: Can you tell me the exactly option?
@kylec: LOL
@Mylenthes: Didn´t you read my first post? I like android, but i like the iphone appearance and the GoLauncher has additionally a super Tab-styled surface --> I have the Galaxy Tab with Android 2.3.3, The GoLauncher installed and now i want reduce it to the Drawer/App Depot
@Nexus 4G: The same like fifarunnerr. There isn´t a option except "Open/Close the App drawer" but i want only "Open the app drawer".
Thx a lot

Dude seriously you are retarded if you have a large screen tab and can't figure this out with the multitude of options at your disposal. This is either a troll thread from a bored individual or you really are clueless. Even after members here give you seven different options you just keep on asking?

"Dude", that's not very nice...
@OP- I'm not sure you really have an option... Even if u switched to miUI, u would have several homescreens instead of one app drawer. Your going to have to sacrifice. and yes the open/close app drawer is the option I were referring too. I've never seen a rom/preference to completely remove your home screens... Sry bredrin )-:

I've been using this, it keeps losing apps. It's better than nothing, but it's not as good as the MIUI Launcher.

I have lost an app when moving it to the trash can by mistake and tapping Cancel. Goto Settings, Applications and force stop it. Then restart vLauncher and the app should be back. I would like to see the developer pick this app up and do some updating.

Tapping it starts up the apps.....
ive just tried and mine works fine ?? im running everything the same as you.
1. Could do with a restart maybe?
2. Try removing the battery and see if that helps? Sometimes my screen doesnt respond to long presses.?
Tried that^ Still not working.
There's an option in ADW to lock or unlock the desktop. Sounds like it's locked right now. Locking prevents things like having your dock icons slip out every time you flip up the hidden dockbar but makes it so you can't do any alterations.

What doesn't work? If it is not showing, you need to drag the widget window to a bigger size. If it is something else, please specify.

Well I may be slow because that worked on my home screen but not on my lock screen. The weather is not showing
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
When you are at the lock screen, try swiping down the screen, starting at the clock in the middle. It should slide out the weather. It is by design. At lock, the widget area starts minimized everytime. You can swipe it open, just like swiping open the notification area.
Hope that helps!

Nvm! I didn't realize I had to turn it on in system setting.. Looks great, thanks Cm team :good:
I'm loving Chronus, especially on the lockscreen . For the record, to get it on the main lockscreen page, you hold the clock icon on the lockscreen and remove it like the standard homescreen widgets, and then press the add button, and select Chronus.
Chronus has been cherry picked to AOKP. For the life of me I can't figure out how to put the weather widget on my screen (not lock screen), the clock is fine. I've searched high and low, I wonder if it's broken for the rom.

Go into the Chronus settings and enable the weather features there, it will automatically add the weather data below the clock then. Also, make sure you have expanded the widget box to make enough room for the extra info to show!
