Auto changing Homescreen wallpaper setting not working - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

I have my homescreen wallpapers set to automatically change every 5 min but it never seems to. I've tried changing durations, different albums, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone get this to work?

Thank you...maybe it has to do with me using Nova Launcher. I will revert to the stock launcher and see if it works.

it does not work with nova.. tried that

well, that solves that...thank you for the reply you saved me the trouble. Oh well, not willing to give up Nova though.

np, yeah I still used it sometimes but kinda like emui now it seems to be more battery friendly with my mate

Try Wallpaper Changer.
Works fine for me.
Though I've not tried it with Nova.

[Q] SE Xperia Arc Launcher For Galaxy Tab

Can someone port SE Xperia Arc Launcher for galaxy tab?
I really like this launcher and it's animations are great, but I have some problem with it which you can see in the pictures.
It would be great if someone could do it.
Have you changed your lcd density? And did youvdownload thevright one for our screen size? There are a lot of different versions out there and one that fits perfectly. It seems like youve picked the wrong one.
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
I didn't know there are different versions, I'll look for it.
About lcd density, no, I haven't changed it.
Yeah, last time i checked there were at least 50 different versions for different screen sizes and different mods.
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
These are the sizes that I found:
(960x540), (480x854), (480x800), (480x640), (320x480), (240x320).
The best one is (960x540) and as you can see in the pictures its really close but not perfectly.
you may try this
i mod this for my tab, it may work for you.

Try using Root Explorer to push it to system/app?
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
I tried that, but it didn't work. Thank you, anyway.
Btw, I found this single post here and there is a "Guide" which says you should change some .xmls to make a right arc launcher for you device.
Here it is:

Works great on stock dpi. One minor thing is the icons in the app tray is not centered perfectly, its shifted a bit to the left. Another great tweak would be to mod it so that it can be 5x5 columns and rows in desktop. But all in all, runs smooth!
Thakns to pimuser for uploading the launcher which works great on GT.
Like Vorpal said, the icons in the app tray are not centered perfectly,
I'm working on that, but for now because the laucher has just
3 homescreens I made two more with 5 and 7 homescreens.

Thanks sohrab1985 for undertaking the task to making this launcher run more perfectly. Hope you manage to fix any slight problems (centering) and keep us updated!
Xperia Arc Launcher
Here is another one.
5x5 Apptray.
5 Homescreens.
Everyrhing works great except one thing.
As you can see in the picture No.3, When you drag one app from apptray to
your homescreen, it takes the room of two icons instead of one.
I can fix that but when I do, some other widgets don't work properly.
Of course you can put the apps in a folder in your homescreens, they work fine.
Does anyone know what would be the problem?

I found two solutions for the problem in the last version:
1. Instead of draging apps from apptray into your homescreens, make a shortcut.
2. when you drag one app or more from apptray into your homescreens, put them in a folder and then take them out to your home screen again.
In both of these ways apps take just the room of one icon, not two.
I love this launcher =)
Thank you for this, it's working fine and is very fast, any way to make it work in landscape?

MILocker (MIUI Lockscreen application for any ROM)

This works great on Note:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390934
Enjoy!!!
It works great but many screens are not Note-friendly due to the resolution :-(
Very nice App. MIUI Lockscreens are the best. But I tried about 10 different mtz - and not even one has been displayed correct. Someone should customise some locks for this resolution
I tried it and it froze my phone. I had to pull the battery to restart it.
I prefer my stock lockscreen but thanks for the info
can we have the data monitor app from MIUI?
have you guys tried the lidroid rom yet, check it out it has 5 lockscreen mod in it.

I have tried out on G-Note. Not working properly, it installs, but due to high resolution, some themes are not working ( showing small icons etc.), thanks any way for your work.
go locker suits me the best.... using it for more than 20 days , better than the stock lockscreen
Go locker has a issue when using headset and changing song threw headset button, it refuses doubble clicks, so you end up pausing the song all the time, no fun..
Works well this, I have made the default MIUI lockscreen 'English' and changed some of the wording and how the date reads to read more, erm, English
Just unzip and place in the themes folder of the MIUI folder on your internal storage.
Not all themes work, but there are plenty which do... I have ICS theme working perfectly on my note...

App drawer sizes NOVA LAUNCHER

I’m having two problems for drawer app sizes
1. I’ve set to 5x5 landscape but it keeps defaulting to portrait
2. Having set to 5x5 only one of my app drawers is actually 5x5 others are 3 or 4 icons wide even though there are more than 5 apps in the drawer.
I want everything to be the same how do I get them all to 5x5??
I'm using nova launcher settings to do this
Thanks

Maybe Nova just doesn't like your Nokia, try sending an email to developers. In Nova settings, scroll down to "Contact Support" and let them know your issue.

Can't make any wallpaper 'stick' after wallpaper Carousel updated?

Wallpaper Carousel updated a couple weeks back (whatever that is?) and now when I set a home screen or lock screen wallpaper after around 2 hours it resets back to the theme default.
I've stopped all Wallpaper Carousel permissions and that hasn't helped apart from I can pick any system wallpaper but any downloaded wallpaper gets over written by the system wallpaper after a few hours.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be??
The phone's running stock, latest Miui and firmware.
Thanks..

yeah, i agree. it's frustrating for me that i can't remember things. maybe when you're near 70 you'll have perfect memory, i don't.
Update the google app, if its already updated to latest then join the beta and update, will fix it after reboot

You are not alone. I started having the same problem (occasionally) since the latest system update (December 5, 2019). Plus apps no longer auto-update (never), even when I am on Wi-Fi. None of that was an issue prior to mentioned update.
For weather not showing I suspect app gets "power-optimized".
For app auto-update not working - there are multiple reports for that over the past year for Pixel and other phones with no clear solution. I tried clearing Storage and Cache for Google Play Services but it didn't help.

just checking that you have given google app location permission and location is on.
another thing is i'm also using nova launcher in a very minimal way but that might have something to do with it.
i discovered by searching that it's a pretty common issue. but if it's something you want and you can have it by using a different launcher try out a different launcher for a week, maybe. good luck in finding a solution.

I found the solution. I'm on basic phone launcher ( no launcher installed or rooting done).
Just enable location on and go to your Google account and turn location history on.
Then restart with location turned on.
It's there now.
Found sort of a solution
It isn't the best solution, but it works (at least for me it does). I found that if I put another at a glace widget on another screen (so there are 2 now, one on my home screen, one on another), it works and shows weather on both. If I remove it, the weather goes away again.. Hoping this is some sort of clue to get this fixed permanently.
