Apex Launcher and Wallpaper - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I've got a problem with my wallpaper on Apex Launcher.
I only have one Homescreen that is not scrollable. In other words, it is fixed.
To set my 480x800 px wallpaper as the homescreen background I used Wallpaper Wizardrii.
The problem is when I close some apps (e.g. firefox or some games), my wallpaper slides to the right, so that it doesn't fit to my screen anymore. (The left half of my screen is black and the other half is the wallpaper).
I think it could be a problem with the no scrolling options of Apex Launcher and Wizardrii.
Does someone else got such a problem and maybe has a solution to solve it?
Thank you

That's probably because you have 1 Homescreen, the stock is 5.

[Q] Wallpaper does not fit Homescreen when resized

Hi there
When trying to apply a wallpaper (e.g. a picture taken with my SGS3 camera) to my homescreen I usually have to resize it via the gallery-app. But resizing lets the picture shrink to a default-form that does not cover my 5-homescreens. Therefore I always get some black bars on the right and the left side...
Any idea how I can fix this or how I can keep the gallery app from not resizing my pictures to the default-size that only seems to cover 1 homescreen?

Are u using any other launcher than TW? Or scrollable TW mod? one work around is using "gallery ICS" from market to set your wallpaper
Currently I'm using the Nova Launcher. Is this an issue? Will try to download the ICS Gallery and hope it works well with the Nova Launcher
***Update: Wow, it works. Gallery ICS can resize my pictures and they fit to my 5-Homescreen Nova Launcher.... GREAT!! Many thanks

:victory: The default gallery asks you to crop the picture since TW launcher does not support scrollable wallpapers. However its a problem with other launchers. You can either disable wallpaper scrolling in launcher settings or use this gallery to set full length scrollable wallpapers

[Q] Wallpaper Orientation on Nova Launcher

I just installed Nova Launcher for a change of pace on my Rezound, and it has altered the way the wallpaper works--even in the stock Sense launcher.
Initially, I had a picture set as my wallpaper in portrait orientation...after installing Nova, that has been cropped down to a landscape orientation, despite the fact that it does not scroll.
Even after uninstalling the launcher the wallpaper does not revert back to its initial behavior. Ideally I'd like to keep the launcher and have portrait wallpaper, but I'd even settle for going back to stock and having this work the way it used to.
Any ideas?
No problems with wallpaper and Nova on my Rezound...using it now.

The problem is that it does not support wallpaper in the Portrait format. I was able to get it to work temporarily with the PicSpeed Wallpapers app, but once Nova Launcher was closed and re-opened it cropped the wallpaper again.
Nobody else has tried to set a wallpaper in portrait with this launcher?

Can't change lockscreen picture

I'm using the stock ROM, and I simply can not change lockscreen picture.
I can change the whole theme, I can change icons, but I can't change the lockscreen picture (when I click on the designated picture, nothing happens - except a black square quickly coming from right side that quickly disappears)
(Same issue with wallpaper, but I'm using Nova, so this is not a problem)
What can I do? Thanks?
Set default launcher - MIUI launcher. Set lockscreen wallpaper. Set default launcher - Nova launcher. My friend help this.

Alternative launchers cannot properly set wallpapers?

I'm wondering if anyone has found a way around it. It occurs in both Nova and Smart launcher whenever setting any wallpaper. I'm using all updates.

I've tried:
-Setting wallpaper using the settings
-Choosing left and right in Nova Launcher for scrolling
-Not using gallery to choose the image to set as wallpaper
To no avail. It -seems- as if emui is adjusting the wallpaper's size to take it's launcher into account. (removing some of the empty panels from the emui launcher made the black bar smaller)
Try these to do it properly, I'm also facing this.
Try applying wallpaper from the Theme app.
Try toggling wallpaper scrolling to Force.
Try restarting Nova Launcher.
Try clearing app data and then apply the wallpaper.
I have given you multiple options because for me everytime another option does the trick, and not the last one I used, so every time trick changes. But till now I have done the above mentioned tricks.
hope this helps you.
