HTC sense 4+ wallpaper losing scrolling effect? - HTC One X

I found that my wallpaper suddenly became unscrollable after back to sense 4+ from apex launcher. I had just upgraded to android 4.1 last two days.

this is absurd i like rosie and i cant even use my LWP

Dang... Someone needs to get a mod for that.. I really liked the scrolling wallpaper effect..
Not only did it look awesome, it allowed us to have a high quality wallpaper and see everything that was on it...

I too just found out that I no longer has scrolling wallpaper. Is it me or is someone from HTC making retarded choices for their updates. If you have a functionality such as wallpaper scrolling, you cannot take it away when you update the firmaware...I did not buy something and have it taken away in the upgrade.
It should not require someone to do a hack to get that function back. I don't have an iPhone because I know what it can and what it cannot do...
HTC, you need to listen to your users.

I agree with you. That really sucks.
I'm hoping there come a rosie mod for it soon.
Thanks a lot fu**ing HTC.

I installed official JB update and for a few days bg scrolling was working normally then out*off nothing it stopped. Any solution?

You could try using Go Launcher, or any of the other launchers on the market, they will give you the scrolling WP. Unless if you're like me and you like Sense, then alas we're stuck with it

Anyone know if there is a mod for this yet for Sense? I haven't seen anything yet and would really love the scrolling WP back.

I think we just need to go back to GB for the scrolling WP...and any other i might add, like bouncing effect...in every update HTC made, it will get simpler and lesser in graphic...just more software but no theme....

I think you mean ICS and I can't believe htc would make such a stupid decision like this. Oh wait, yes I can. This is why custom roms were created.

yap, it sucks.

im jualous of my mums legend update!!

hi, my mums has a legend on vodafone, and she recently got an update..
the reason i am a bit jealous is because it seems to be faster than my phone! a desire!
when she clicks on an app or something there is like a zoom animation when it opens the app, which looks really nice and smooth..
i checked me settings for animations and it says all animations shown.. but i dont get that, does anyone know how to do it?? or if it can..
thanks..
for some reason you don't get those zoom transition animations with HTC Sense turned on. But if you install a different launcher (like Launcher Pro) you do get the animations.
Trust me, or not... but unless you have done something really strange, your desire is notably faster than her legend.

Not for my girlfriend whose hands are too small to use the Desire. For her the Legend is better
sense is turned on on the legend
this legend was always slower than my desire, it then got the 2.2 update, and it was still not as good, but ever since its latest update, it is imho smoother than my desire and those animated transitions look suavvvvvve!!!
i want this sense on my desire!! it is a vodafone legend, mine is a stock desire, with latest stock rom, nothing fancy done to it!
The other half has a legend and with the latest update and it seems Vodafone have really got the phone working smooth.
Of course its not as nice as the desire, but it is a vast improvement that has def closed a lot of the gap between the 2 handsets.
Just need voda to work their magic on the desire now
ye the only thing is some of the live wallpapers are slow, but i really want those transition effects....
what u think of this?

Anyone have a clock for AOSP that works like the sense one?

I have been looking for a clock that is like the stock sense one that has alarms and timer and stop watch all included haven't been able to find one for a AOSP rom would like to find a sense based clock that works with AOSP rom that has all the goodies with it. Only thing thats stopping me from wanting to use a AOSP rom all the time. I like the senseless roms but its a pain to find something that may work until it boot loops sucks. Anyone know of any i have checked out the clock forums on here but all they seem to be is fancy clock widgets. So can anyone point me into the right direction. Thanks I am pretty familiar with APK files..

I'm using the Weather & Toggle widget on my hero and using it asa my EVO comes in. It's almost exactly like the stock one and there's skin downloads to match it exactly. I paid for mine because it's worth the couple bux bud, seriously. I don't buy many apps, just help out the devs but this one was a no brainer for AOSP roms.

Thanks i was hoping to beable to use the sense pack htc clock on a few senseless roms FC on alot of it kinda blows i really just want stock clock with alarms and everything. Id be thrilled i hope someone comes out with a better gingerbread keyboard.
I'd use AOSP roms in a heartbeat if I could get this too. Can never find a keyboard as good as the HTC one either.

Ya i am likeing cm7 tho the keyboard sucks its a pain to use. The clocks out there are not as good sense based one. Hope someone can fix that. The roms to have dried up not to many people are making anything new. I like evo based roms not ports. If your really want a port go get the phone in my opinion. Im like konies rom elite 3 battery life isnt good on stock kernel the clock doesnt suit me trying to replace it.
Fancy widget has the clock your looking for plus a whole lot more..

Sense replacements
I am on ASOP now and have really missed a lot of Sense stuff since switching to Cyanogen 6 a few months ago.
I have used a number of stopwatch apps and don't really like any of them.
I am using TouchPal, beacuse I don't like the stock dialer, but am not crazy about TouchPal.
I am using SwiftKey as a keyboard, which I do really like a lot.
I use Beautiful Widget's: Super Clock. Its the best thing next to sense. Plus you can change up the skins faster than you do your socks!
Also I use Swift Keyboard. It looks similar to the touch input plus its crazy convenient!

Ehh, I just want the time and an alarm lol. W&T widget defaults to the stock clock, which has an alarm so that's cool. The KB is garbage though you're right. Many months ago when I was on Sense roms with my Hero I was using the AOSP-voice keyboard but now I'm on Better Keyboard 8. My EVO should be in tomorrow and I'm guessing that just the meire size of the phone should make ANY keyboard easier to use lol. The Hero landscape is just a little too small for my big fingers.

Check out HD Widgets. It's on app store for a small amount but is well worth it and it looks great. It has lots of clock widget sizes and styles, with or without weather and is highly customisable.

[req\q] screen off on animation?

Anyway for us to get the GB screen off/on animation. Maybe ported to rmk's gb. Or similar. rom? I know its been asked in themes and apps but was never answered. Thanks in advance...
I have been trying all day and still not able to get the downanimation to work.
EDIT: this guy claims to have the process to make it work, although I have tried and am still not able to get my downanimation to work.
Try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942976
I don't know why Verizon or HTC (whomever) left it out of our gb updates.
I see your referring to the screen turning off and not the shutdown animation. my bad lol.
and how is this development?

its generally just one edit in bools.xml in the framework-res (at least it is on other phones)
Yea this is really unfortunately HTC left off the Gingerbread lock screen animation. It's my favorite thing about Gingerbread besides the performance tweaks (smooth scrolling).
What they SHOULD have done under "Skins" is have a pure Gingerbread skin that includes this animation, that would have been excellent.
There doesn't seem to be any known way to enable this either

Thoughts on live wallpaper pausing on scroll?

As you already know, LWPs pause on scroll if you use the Sense launcher so I had to use Apex Launcher when showing my phone off to friends
LWPs are probably not a big deal for many people but they're one of the reasons I love Android so it sucks that I can't really use them with Sense 4. Some say it's a bug but I personally think it's the way Sense is designed to work.
If any devs are reading this, could you please shed some light on how hard it is (or if it is possible at all) to fix/mod Rosie so that LWPs don't pause like that? Thanks!
As I've said earlier in an other thread like this:
Gormsen said:
I mailed HTC about this, and after some time they mailed me back saying that the problem was sent to their development in Taiwan for further investigation and to find out if the problem can be solved with an update. I can give you a copy of the mails, but it's in danish

So at least HTC is aware about the problem. I have also read somethere that to pausing/freezing is due to the fact that Sense uses the same resources as the live wallpaper an therefore it freezes when switching between homescreens.

HTC One X running Android 4.1.1 with HTC Sense 4.5 by football

im sorry if this a bit inconvenient but FOOTBALL just released a video on his rom showing the new jellybean update with sense 4.5
and i just wanted to share it with everybody else
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2qnAaj_tck
all credits goes to football and all the amazing developers on XDA
looking good every thing works nearly apart from phone / gps / internet sharing which is good
It seems good
Looks great, not too dissimilar to the 4.04 w/ sense 4.5 leak that I'm currently running but jellybean is a welcome addition

Liking the JB look in the notification drawer, hope HTC don't change it before its release
Look forward to seeing a RUU slipping out sometime after the 19th september
Looks perfect, what about overheating? If overheating fix i test this rom looks so good....

Can't tell much on the fluidity etc in this video. Good to see this nevertheless. Hope it has a fluid feel to it as well. Although I must say 4.0.4 update nearly nailed it

Great video can't wait until jb is official
Interesting,but HTC realy realy needs to do something about the RAM management,i mean,this is not multitasking present on the phone,feels like i'm using Iphone 3G with the unoficial multitasking app again...This is the first thing HTC must concentrate on.
I'm hoping for a larger contact display during calling. The one in stock JB looks awesome
One X to rule them all
I'm hoping for these idiots at HTC to fix html rendering on their email client or I'm staying on CM10 anyway......

The play store has a number of alternative browsers. With Android, you're free to choose.
Users have great hope from 4.5 , let's c what HTC do to retain it
Football u are great man.
Following things still remain a ques -
1)Is Sense 4.5 jelly bean smooth though 4.1 is already working like charm but it can still be better :good:
2) Is the people app changed, means does the Pic looks 720p really?
3) Multitasking still not there, really annoying. I dont get why HTC cant still get this right.
Gallery looks good.
Football can you please share a changelog, atleast what you see and feel
Not one of them supports multiple exchange accounts AND proper server search. I've tried them all.....
I just can't see why HTC don't bother to fix the rendering issue. All other clients render the right size but on sense email it looks like it was made for near blind people.

What is the problem with multitasking? For me it works perfectly

Everytime you exit an app it clears the cache files which means the app has to reload, when on web browser this is particularly annoying as say I want to leave a page up for when I'm on.break at work with no data connection, when I come back to it it reloads meaning I now can't read it. HTC have messed it up big time with me, I am going either sgs3 or lumia 920 in the next month
