I recently installed the new Vegan gingerbread rom. I cant for the life of me, get any wallpaper to end up in the center of the screen even the stock ones.
Any fix for this.
thanks in advance
I had to switch to Go Launcher from Launcher Pro on Calukins ROM. That fixed it. I really like the Go Launcher.
I noticed that too. Except for me it was that the apps weren't centered in the app drawer. I just disabled the "side" docks. This seemed to fix it. Not sure if that works for the wallpaper though. I use the "multi live wallpaper" app from the market. That seems to fix the low-res wallpaper issue and also centers the wallpaper.

Hello Everyone,
Does the Weather Toggle Widget work properly for anyone on the Dell Streak? I tried this on 1.6 and now again on 2.1 but it always looks messed up. The clock looks great but the weather is always compressed and cut-off on the side. I have tried different skins but always the same result. I really like this application and just want to get it working.
Check the screen capture to see what I mean.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
PS. I did send a support email to the creator as well so I hope to hear from him eventually.
[FIXED using ADW LAUNCHER (Free) in Market Place]
I was informed that ADW Launcher allows many customizations, including widget sizes. I use this as my home scren now and couldn't be happier having total control over my widgets.
Yes mine was cut off and it is cut off on Beautiful widget

What widget r u using?
I use beautiful home screen, and had a time issue when i flashed to 2.1 in that the time wouldn't change.
Sent and emial off to creator and got a reply very quickly saying to exclude it in task killer and it now works.
Only problem i have now is that the minutes section is over lapping on the right, not a big deal but still an issue.
Have to say tho the beautiful home live weather wallpaper is amazing.
Yeah i tried it too and it wouldn't line up correctly so i had to ditch it.

Hey all, new Atrix owner here coming from a MyTouch 4G. I'm completely perplexed here. I switched my launcher from the default blur launcher to adw launcher ex. Suddenly there is a black bar at the bottom and right of the screen that the wallpaper does not fill. I took off wallpaper scrolling and the wallpaper is completely centered but with a black border around it. I can't seem to get my wallpaper full size! I suspect it has an issue to do with me using Titanium Backup for a lot of my apps... maybe the launcher or something takes the phone and screen size into account when it gets installed. I've reset adw launcher to default config and that didn't work. I really would appreciate any help with this before I have to randomly uninstall and reinstall apps. I put a white wallpaper on there and removed the bottom dock so you can see the black border i'm referring too. Thanks for any help!
I think it's related to Atrix unusual resolution. Maybe ADW doesn't have a fix for Atrix screen. You should email the developer and ask him if it's fixable.

Hmm, Adw is pretty popular though, can anyway else confirm this? Thanks for the response!
Confirming it is doing the same thing for launcher pro... This is so frustrating. When i started up launcher pro it was fine... i went to preferences, changed wallpaper scrolling to off, and went back and the wallpaper shrunk! Then i went back to preferences and changed it to scrolling and it didn't fix it. Changing the wallpaper didn't make a difference again. UGGH!!
Did you delete then reinstall the app? I know a lot of my games especially didn't transfer over phones with titanium backup. But uninstalling then redownloading from the market worked

Try wallpaper wizardri from the market.

Yeah, i uninstalled all the apps that work as wallpaper choosers, as well as all the launchers and redownloaded them. Ughh, still not working. I am however using multipicture wallpaper and that is working at full screen. This is so weird!

Wallpaper Wizardrii
This app will allow you to set any wallpaper on your phone, and also select options such as making it scrollable, fixed, etc.

I checked this out. It rectifies the problem but I can't seem to get this app to do the wallpaper right. It always enlarges it so you can't see the whole wall. It's getting there though, some of them I could use. So thanks for this but still hoping there is a fix for what i'm going through... maybe one other lonely soul had it happen and knows what they did to fix it.
Hey everyone - having a slight problem with my all-time favourite wallpaper (which I brought along from my Symbian device) in combination with GO Launcher Ex.
Whenever I try to choose it as my homescreen wallpaper it gets zoomed in and very pixelated - TouchWiz doesn't have that problem.
Unfortunately Google & site search weren't able to provide a satisfactory solution ..so, anyone have an idea how to get it working?

Try to get that pic in 480 x 800 resolution, it will fit perfectly for portrait mode wallpaper.

Cheers mate, seems to have worked!
Blew the pic up to 480*852 first and then cropped 52 pixels from the top (only black anyways).
Resolution still seems to be fine enough.
Guess another possibility would have been to make a new all black 480*800 image and copy mine into the centre of that ..
Mmh. Will try that aswell.
*edit*
Crap. Just installed the newest version of GO Launcher and back to zoomed wallpapers we are - regardless of size. Only way to fix it is to switch back to TouchWiz and then back to GO Launcher again - which sucks.
!%#'"ยง!
What if you use Wallpaper Set and Save or Wallpaper Plus? They come out very sharp when I use apps like these.
I have noticed this bug as well. I can get it resolved by going back to the default launcher temporarily, set the wallpaper there, then relaunch Go Launcher, and it seems to be correct. It only happens to portait pics where there is no background scroll though.
Could it not be due to the wallpaper being in scan mode (as you go through the 7 screens the background image moves along)? Because in my HD2 (in SD Android) would select a square-ish area from the centre of the image I wanted as a wallpaper. When I changed it to the same image for all screens, then the selection of the image was in the same shape as the screen.

Are those Apps? Haven't heard of them before and might give it a shot - however there's probably also a certain increase in battery use associated with that method, something I'm not sure I'm prepared to accept.

Yup, exactly the same here. If only it weren't for the GO Launcher Calendar widget, I'd try another launcher or stick with stock TouchWiz ..

I have unticked that option, the background isn't scrolling.
Meh..
*edit*
The problem seems to be known but possibly not recognized as a problem by the GO Dev team:
After the research, it seems the wrong of Android system. Because the API we use to get wallpaper of system give us the zoom wallpaper.

Also, another possible solution seems to be https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture - however, Live Wallpaper = more juice required.
Same here happened. I just switch to TW luncher and back to GO luncher
Actually, installing the latest update of the GO Calendar widget seems to have fixed the problem.
When I installed it the wallpaper first bugged out again but when re-setting it, it worked fine without switching to TouchWiz. Perhaps that'll work for someone else, too.

Had same problem, stopped using stock gallery to select wallpaper, and started using qpix to select wallpaper, and it works fine for me now. Seems problem for me was the stock gallery app I was using to select the wallpaper.
Currently having the same issue and neither TW or GoLauncher is playing nicely with me.

GO Launcher Ex Zoomed Backgrounds

I am having a problem I am using GO Launcher Ex and my backgrounds appear to be zoomed in a little bit even though when I'm setting the wallpaper it is fully zoomed out with the orange box. It has only recently happened because it never did that before and it happens no matter what wallpaper I set.
Android 2.3.6 CheckROM GT-i9100
Anyone have any answers?
Thanks.

Just an update: I found that switching back to twlauncher fixed the problem with the wallpaper! Switched back to Go Launcher Ex and it stayed fixed. Weird.
In case that doesn't work
Hey I found that my background would not scroll if I swapped to the tw launcher and then back, and it seems that its the default wallpaper selector. I use wallpaper wizardii and choose the scroll option when setting wallpaper and it works great.
To begin, I am very picky about wallpapers. I have an entire folder full of wallpapers at 540x960. These wallpapers all look great in Sense. I also have a collection of wallpapers at 1080x960 for use with launchers (Go Launcher, ADW, Launcher Pro) that allow the background to be scrolled. Now, here is my problem...
When I install and use a replacement launcher and then go back to Sense I can no longer properly select my 540x960 wallpaper. It wants to treat everything as though it's in the scrollable ratio. The only way I can find to solve this is to reboot the phone into recovery and delete the cache. This is hardly practical. Has anyone else come across this problem and perhaps, even, a solution.
What I'd like to be able to do is switch between the various launchers without all the wallpaper hassle.
did u try 'home switcher' from market? it works in my case (I do use both sense and ADW EX).
Using Home Switcher still causes the same conflict when choosing a wallpaper.
A hot restart will solve the problem... it's not ideal but at least it does the trick.
I wanted to give LauncherPro a try again which worked really well on my Evo 4g. My problem is that pictures that I've taken with my front camera wont display fullscreen and require me to crop them directly in the middle in order to use them which makes the image much bigger. When using Sense it does not do this and allows me to use the image fullscreen. I really do not like my background being stretched through tabs . Any solutions?? Any info would be great!
I've been googling for a good hour or so and have come up with absolutely nothing.
Just realized that it has nothing to do with LP in general, but any other launcher. They try to force me to crop the image and while cropping I can't select the whole image, but the image is already in proportion to the fullscreen.
Go Launcher does this for me too. I don't know how to correct it either.
I believe you are talking about wallpaper scrolling. In go launcher it's under screen settings-disable wallpaper scrolling. Launcher pro its appearance settings-disable wallpaper scrolling. I'm trying to decide between the two right now

Unfortunately, while you can disable wallpaper scrolling in the various launcher apps, you cannot disable the way in which it wants to crop the image. Even if you go from Launcher Pro back to Sense it will still try to crop images for the wider, scrolling format. A hot restart after switching back to Sense was the only way to solve this for me. I didn't try that after switching off the wallpaper scrolling option in Launcher Pro so it's worth a shot.
Ultimately, I just gave in and found or made a bunch of wallpapers of a 1080x960 dimension that look great scrolling in Launcher Pro.
I found a solution. Wallpaper Wizardrii allows you to set the wallpaper correctly! It's free on the android market and worked flawlessly.
