iPhone 4 was my last phone, and upon coming to Android, I was aware that they have scrolling wallpapers?
Where did it go?
Samsung disabled it for Touchwiz.

Hi All,
I've really enjoyed the stock Windmill live wallpaper that came stock with my Galaxy S2, more importantly the day/night and automatic weather updates.
I noticed that my GNexus did not come with any live weather wallpaper.
Is it possible or has any gotten this windmill live wallpaper from the GS2 onto their GNexus?
Is there any other alternatives other than Beautiful Widgets?
Thanks in advance.
Titanium backup. Or there are apks of it on the web. Personally I just switched to Go Weather with Go Live Wallpaper HD. Free and better.
I installed the apk for the wind mill wallpaper but it doesnt display correctly at all. Just a bunch of block figures without color. I really liked that windmill wallpaper because it didnt seem to take up a lot of memory and was great definition. The live portion of it was just outstanding. I havent found the same quality in other apps that do night/day and weather.
Yea, I had an APK of both the windmill and beach on my Nexus one which worked ok. They don't work on the Galaxy Nexus though.
Closest thing I have now it the live wallpaper from Beautiful widget. Plus the stock grass wallpaper isn't included
the BW live wallpaper is lame.
Wind Mills stock on the G2 was tits! Sure hiRes picture, animations where great. Loved it.
Would pay someone to get this to work on the GNexus.
Is it possible to update the wind mill live wallpaper from the SGS2 to work on the Galaxy Nexus?
So when the s2 was made, I guess Samsung decided to have two separate wallpapers. One for the lockscreen and one for the homescreen.
I hate this new feature of the s2. I use a wallpaper changer to change my wallpaper every 15 minutes because I get bored of seeing the same thing over and over, but I spend a fair chunk of time just opening up the phone with the lockscreen so I want it to change randomly too.
What roms don't have this feature? I know cm7 doesn't, but the only builds I found hardly work. Blu Ray doesn't, but I'm not a fan of its looks.
Idk about the lockscreen, but you can have a live wallpaper that changes the image which ever way you want it with. It's called multipicture live wallpaper

Live wallpapers on Sense don't seem to work as well as they do on stock ICS or even the SGSIII. Whenever i swipe to change the homescreen the wallpaper pauses until the homescreen animation is done. This does not happen on SGSIII or a Galaxy Nexus. Also the included Phase Beam live wallpaper(ICS default wallpaper) does not seem to work, whats up with that?
its a fault with sense
some updates seem to have fixed it, depends on your carrier
or try a different launcher, they don't have the issue on HOX
Currently using free Galactic Core Live Wallpaper (search at google play) looks good on HOX.
Hey, I am running into a somewhat annoying issue with regular wallpapers not scrolling along slightly with the home screen pages. The Live wallpapers seem to work just fine. I have verified that the resize prior to setting the wallpaper shows both the edges for the shift, but it does not do so when scrolling through homepages.
Is this normal for the Note 2?

I don't think the touchwiz launcher allows scrolling wallpaper. If you install and use the Nova Laucher it will allow that though.

Live wallpapers will scroll just fine in Touchwiz and static wallpapers will not. It's normal. Apex and Nova are 2 launchers that allow static scrolling wallpaper.

Cool guys, thanks. Was somewhat used to seeing it on older HTC devices and found it odd that my phone didn't do it.
Hi guys,
I'm running AOSP 4.2.1 on my Galaxy Nexus and it's been a bugging me a bit that the wallpapers (static ones) wouldn't scroll. I'm with Nova Launcher Prime and I did check - wall scrolling IS enabled. Tried disabling/enabling it - no luck. Moreover, Quickpic only displays a portrait-oriented frame for cropping pictures when I want to set them as wallpapers.
Is this Android related? Is it some bug? Can we get around it?
Thanks!
