I just have a quick question and would make me feel better about my phone .....when you have a live wallpaper running is it slowing down your app drawer such as making it choppy scrolling rather then when you have a normal wallpaper its smoothe as hell.....is there anything to fix it to were you have a live wallpaper and its smoothe?
What you're experiencing is normal.
Some Live Walls lag more than others, too, just depends on what it is and how it was designed.
cool, makes me feel better i wish it wasnt like that cause i love how launcher pro is so smooth with the 3d app drawer and no live wallpaper its so smoother, but would love live wallpaper and same smootheness

Yes this happens to me too, its always been this way. A live wallpaper makes my home screen scrolling and app drawer choppy. This is with launcher pro and stock launcher. It's not a huge effect, but definitely not as smooth. With no live wallpaper the scrolling is smooth as butter even better my ipod touch 3rd gen.

I've got a bunch of launchers loaded on my EVO, but my favorite ones for the G-Tab are ADW.launcher and ZEAM (XDA developed launcher).
I like both of them because they're snappy and offer a high degree of customization (e.g. being able to specify the number of columns and rows for both the workspace and the apps).
ADW.launcher seems a bit more customizable since it supports themes, but Zeam is nice because it gives you an app bar on the workspace that you can load up to 8 quick apps.
I still have a soft spot for Launcher Pro. I know that ADW has themes, but LP is fast and does what I need it to do. I have not found a reason to change, yet.
+1 for launcher pro. I liked the themes on ADW but I like the customizable buttons, configurable columns and rows and the widgets with LP.
Perchance I will try Zeam at some point, but in general I am happy with Launcher Pro.

zeam cause its lightweight.
Launcher Pro here too.
I'm still playing with Sweeter Home. I like to completely customize the screen layouts. It isn't flawless in operation, but it does provide me lots of time to fidget.
LauncherPro. I like the features and being able to save/load my screen layout/setup is fantastic after flashing ROMs and reinstalling apps.
I prefer GDE but can't get it to work properly (menu's pop up flaky) on the GTab so I'm using LauncherPro.
Launcher pro. Light weight and fast.
Allways been a fan of launcher pro on my android devices it just works how i like
Do any of the themes allow more than sixteen icons per page? There is a LOT of space that more icons could go in.
Is this one of those "phone & portrait" os design constraints?
i'm an ADW fan on my Droid 1 and i tried it on my gtab but i found zeam to be better. its faster and smoother, more lightweight, and actually resizes wallpaper properly. i love adw's themes but i rather go with speed than with custom icons. also love zeam's dock, has tons of space for icons. only thing i don't like about it is that you can't save your configuration.
launcher pro i never liked. probably cuz i can get most of that stuff for free on other launchers. gotta pay to resize a widget? cmon now. also live wallpaper is really sluggish for some reason on launcher pro. keeps stuttering when i turn on the screen, no matter what live wallpaper i try.

Iam I weird for not running a launcher? I always feel like they slow the system down a bit. I might have to start because all these cool looking home screens are making me jealous!
Launcher Pro... but I think I might try zeam after reading this thread.
I prefer Tap n' Tap for my launcher... OK, who am I kidding
Actually, I use Launcher Pro as well, but I also noticed the live wallpaper stuttering and always thought it was because every app seemed to want to reload itself upon wakeup. However, with all of the love out here for Zeam, I'm going to have to give that a try as well!
has anyone tried the go-launcher?
SInce there are several launchers around I'm curious what the pro's and con's are for each... I think tis thread is going a long way to that. Maybe once we managed to get all the info together we could start making a sticky with pros/cons for each launcher...
Just a thought
Hello,
When i use a live wallpaper on my optimus 2x it starts to stutter a little bit when i switch between my homescreens and when i open/close/scroll my appdrawer. I am using CM7 #79 with launcher pro and the wallpaper is the standard "grass" one. Is there any way to fix this?
Sorry for my poor English
I get this little lag too and even with my Motorola Xoom running android 3.2
deactivate wallpaper scrolling in launcher pro and there wont be a lag. had same problem
Deactivating wallpaper scrolling only fix the lag issue while scrolling through the homescreens. It still lags while i scroll/open/close the appdrawer.
your using the 3d app drawer for LP right? yeah it lags on mine too

Hey Guys,
I've recently installed Go Weather (in particular Go Weather Animated Wallpaped (HD and normal)) which I absolutely adore. But there's this weird thing going on.
Whenever I transition between the homescreen and anything else the live wallpaper shows a smooth running FPS, but as soon as the homescreen settles (the transition to the homescreen ends) the live wallpaper drops in FPS and gets visibly laggy. The weird thing is if i transition between homescreens/panels (which is still smooth) the FPS of the live wallpaper speeds up again, and when it hits the next screen/panel it drops down again?? Shouldn't it be the other way around?? Any help is much appreciated!
P.S. Problem persist after clearing cache/rebooting, closing all apps, using different launchers etc.
I have the Atrix HD, and the one thing that constantly irks me is I cannot figure out how to stretch the wallpaper to fit the entire screen. Could someone inform me?
I have no clue how your doing that. I can't get mine to not be cropped.

Try "mulipicture live wallpaper" from the play store to set you wallpaper with. Providing your wallpapers are the correct resolution, it will set them up properly without cropping.

It doesnt make sense Moto's launcher makes you crop it in the way it does considering there's no scrolling wallpaper and there's no landscape either

landscape mode is used when the phone is plugged into a dock. also other launchers have both those features

Didn't know about the dock. Obviously other launchers have the feature, but other launchers allow you to select non scrooling wallpaper and fit it accordingly.
Apex launcher redirects you to the gallery background set screen unless you install a background that came with a theme. i dont remember about nova launcher, but you still have to crop it on apex
Is the Note 5's inability to scroll wallpaper as you cycle through the home screens a bug or working as intended? If it's not a bug, is this function removed because of Samsung/TouchWiz or Android 5.1.1? (I'm coming from an LG G3 that had 5.0.X on it and it scrolled the wallpaper.)
To be clear, this was the feature that would move your background wallpaper slightly left or right as you scrolled in that direction through your various home screens- I believe it was called parallax effect?
I don't yet have the Note 5 - hopefully wont be too long. But this is a Touchwiz thing and is working as intended. It has always had a static background for as long as i can remember (at least back to the s3). There are some live wallpapers which allow scrolling other than that you can use a different launcher.
This feature was never there in touchwiz... We always used Root, xposed and wanam mod for it to work on TW ( wanam xposed does have tons of useful features for touchwiz)..
Or you could use another launcher like nova

Thanks for the quick responses! I will look into Nova.
Nova is not scrolling wallpaper in my s6 unfortunately

You need to apply the wallpaper using the change wallpaper function in Nova! Works fine using Apex. Make sure multiple scrolling homescreen is on!
Feature not part of TouchWiz
Scrolling wallpapers have never been part of Touchwiz and probably won't be either, they would face so many performance issues with it if they did implement. The problem being they've added the new wallpaper effects that are similar to the motion features on iOS.

I guess you only had touchwiz phone last couple of years or less.
Live wallpaper is way more demanding than scrollable wallpaper and it's still around . In fact I'm running live wallpaper with scrolling effect on both lockscreen and desktop in nova without performance issues. Old galaxies and notes never had issue with that particular feature either. Sammy just likes to force differentiate themselves, even if its extremely dumb. Like having app selection option be set as default ,the first time you pick something.
The last sentence ...no contest....but not much of a compliment.
I'm sure though i saw scrollable option somewhere on touchwiz launcher just recently (checkmark in lower right corner in wallpaper selection). Probably when setting screen from desktop (long press). then again too lazy to confirm now, as i only see tw launcher twice a year. When i buy a phone and when i sell it. Provided i don't have to warranty the thing
