El29 wallpaper fix? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I've seen a thread on here about scrolling wallpaper being disabled with el29. Somebody posted modified APK, yet it doesn't seem to work, other than it allowing for.different dimensions in resizing. Most custom roms have it working, how do you fix it? I'd like to have stock el29 with wallpaper hack .

To my knowledge only miui doesn't have scrolling wp and thats only with certain themes.

Why would Sprint/Samsung disable scrolling on wallpapers?? That's stupid, now many live wallpapers are ruined since you can't see the whole scene.

I would like to know a good fix as well. Even knowing which roms have it enabled would be nice.

You dont need a custom rom to fix it. Just install a different launcher. I use go launcher ex and everything works great, including scrolling wallpapers.

I'd like to keep the stock launcher.

Also when I upgraded to EL29 the microbes live wallpaper went poof and was gone. Had to google it to get the apk to get it back.

Calk 2.8.1 fixed the scrolling wallpaper issue.

+1 I've tried everything to get the scrolling wallpaper back on stock EL29 without going to a custom ROM. I even pm's Calk to see if he could do a zip for that feature, but no response yet.

I like to use tw 4.5 launcher and even though it is custom, scrolling wallpaper still doesn't seem to work. Getting a custom launcher still doesn't let you properly resize the wallpaper, unless you replace the gallery apk.
I appreciate work by all the devs, but there isn't a rom out there that I like too much. Most of them make visual changes I am not fond of, or brightness settings. I know that both calcs rom and blazer have working scrolling wallpaper and are both on el29.
Am using unnamed now, since it is still very stable and fast. Had to disable updates via terminal emulator to prevent el29 from downloading and notifying me every hour. Problem with that is it also disables profile and prl updates.

Bump, anyone? I really hate that my tw launchers nor none of the gingerbread launchers work. I'm not fond of adw, lp, nor.go.

I flashed the AIO mod and it has working scrolling wallpapers. I think samsung disabled it when they turned on continuous scrolling through homescreens. It looks a little funny w/ some wallpapers to jump from screen 1 to screen 7 backwards.
Edit: make sure you flash the "preflash" zip too or it won't work.

Blend rom scrolls
sent from the near past

Don't want to be "that guy" that brings an older post back up to the top, but if I'm wanting to stay stock (I just got this phone, I've had several other Android phones in the past and I don't feel like messing around with custom ROMS anymore)... there's no way to make scrolling wallpapers work again?
I use ADW EX and if I use "Wallpaper Set and Save" from the market, I can get static wallpapers to scroll, but that doesn't help with live wallpapers.
This is irritating!

Flash the AIO mod and then flash other packages to make it stock again. I did that and now have scrollable wallpaper on my story k build. The only modification I have is crt off animation.

Thanks for the tip, but you lost me at "Flash..."
Not that I don't know how, because I do... but I've had a Moto Cliq, Nexus One, EVO 4G, Epic 4G, Nexus S 4G... now this E4GT... my flashing days are done, I'm just tired of the hassle.

[Q] How do Lock Screens work?

I've just flashed to the Eagles Blood ROM and it is working great.
I still have the stock lock screen. I've seen some really cool ones out there but they came with a warning that they only work with a certain ROM.
How do people change their lock screens and how do you know if a lock screen will work with a certain modified ROM?
Thanks, I'm still an android noob.

I believe the only one that require a specific ROM are the ones for MiUI... and there are some pretty sweet ones for that.
In addition to what was mentioned previously, there's also WidgetLocker. That's a pretty good one too.

Seeing those is what got me started on a quest to find a better lock screen.
if you are refering to lockscreens built into a rom directly... Those require framework apk modfication,framework jar modfication android policy jar and so on so forth for them to be present in the device.. The reason you cannot just flash another devices say framework jar and policy jar is a theres going to always be diffrences between 2 diffrent gingerbreads even if they are the same version example would be mount parttion info.. for starters which could render you in a softbrick state and heaven forbid you flashed the whole rom including the firmware and totally bricked a device
on another note as people have stated there is some great free lockscreens on the market gratned there apps
Widgetlocker is not free, but it has some great options, including ICS lock screen.
i tried all types of free lock screen replacements and feel widget locker is worth 2.99. You can customize it very well and there is a thread with 330+ pages of themes.

EL29 Bugs Thread

So far I've noticed a huge bug...it's still gingerbread! Other than that nothing. How about you guys?

This is just a guess, but I don't think that's a bug. I think they intentionally removed the scrolling wallpaper (that actually happened in EL13) due to the infinitely rotating homescreens in EL26. Might not have figured out how to manage the scrolling wallpaper transition from the edges yet.

I've notice the UI for when people call has changed, the download button when you receive MMS has changed, the phone icon has changed, the wallpapers thing has changed, looping homescreen is very nice. All of these are to probably avoid lawsuits
I am rooted and running the latest version of Calkulin's ROM that is EL26 based, and I have both scrollable wallpaper (using a live one even) and the looping home screens.

Yeah, that's cuz Calk un-did Sammy's changes, he mentions it in his thread. How does the transition from the edges look? Is it just a hard cut off line scrolling over? I'm still on his EL13 build.
I will wait for a UnNamed EL29 rom base but for now Ive been testing new modem.
I'm finding 200-300 kbps data speed increase

I wouldn't think this is so, the og epic does infinite scrolling while having the background pan.
Even does a nice animation once it loops

Why no touchwiz 4

On the new ics builds i actually prefered this to the other launchers
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
From what I have seen in all of QBKING77's videos they actually do have it. You sure you dont have another launcher set as default? Go to settings, applications, manage applications, then find TW launcher and clear defaults then hit the home button and it should bring up an option. Check set as default then choose TW launcher.
Im on fc06 caulks stock. the last few ive flashed all seem to be tw3 the transitions are 3d in tw4 whilst tw3 is more less just side scrolling through the home screens. btw thanks for answereing my question
But unless i have some weird flash issue this tw is different from the earlier builds
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I haven't used the tw in the ics leaks. What all have u noticed is different? Maybe since they are leaks Sammy hadn't fully implemented tw in there yet.
If anyone needs any help with the epic touch hit me up on Gtalk @musclehead84

Hmm the only thing I can think of is make sure you have it set to show all animations. To do this, go to settings, display, animations then show all animations. I hope that helps.
Okay i remeber this setting but im not finding it on this rom under settings

Okay im an idiot im using the wrong verbage. Im talking about ics screen transitions. This is for sure touch wiz 4 (pan zoom etc...). After doing some search, it seems that this transitions was removed, I'm not sure why. I found a theme thread that had ics transitions back as part of its title, so I think I've answered my own question

I think this occurs with all the tw leaks??? I included the cm gallery for this purpose... do you not have it???
Try using Home Switcher and use TouchWiz, then set your wallpaper, then switch to whatever launcher your want afterwards. That worked for me!
its a TW issue not the ROM, happens even if you use a different launcher. Wallpaper wizzardrii from the play store can put any wallpaper on your home screen perfectly.

Wallpaper scroll on ICS

Hello all...
How I can enable my wallpaper scrolling on my ICS..??

You can't. Samsung removed that ability. Rumor has it Apple invented scrolling wallpaper shortly after they developed Fire and The Wheel.

Was waiting to see someone say that, next suggestion will be to use Apex, Nova or any of the new launchers. Unless one of them very recently added it back in somehow, none of these suggestion will work anymore. At first the initial removal of the feature was still working using Wallpaper Wizardry. Somewhere along the lines they got rid of it altogether. Even using Apex/Nova and setting a scrolling wallpaper through WW did nothing.

i was going to mention go launcher too. it is easy to use, and a lot you can do with it. i never see anyone mention it here though
I didn't think of Go... I usually avoid Go products because of the bloat and battery drain.
LauncherPro looks like it's working for scrolling wallpaper. It's just fairly long in the tooth these days...

Lmao, I was wondering why my wallpaper wouldn't scroll. Alot of people are fine with LauncherPro still, even on ICS. If you don't mind it, give it a go.
