Does this need a whole new thread?
Just sayin.
on your homescreen press the menu button select preferences, the option is in there somewhere
It is not Darky's ROM dependant. It sholud be configured in the launcher options. If you are using launcher pro, there is a setting called Scrolling wallpaper that you must to disable. Menu>Preferences>Appearence Settings. Here you must NOT MARK "Disable Wallpaper scrolling".
If helped, give thanks
Im using TouchWiz with Darky's 9.2 and it wont let the wallpapers scroll. And theres no preferences in the settings menu with touchwiz. Any other way around this?
Thx
change launchers
Touchwiz is the stock launcher in Samsung, isn't it? As I remember the default wallpaper scrolls. Also I remember had changed this setting, but I don't remember , but I did!
Yes it scrolls for all the other launchers and yes it scrolls for wallpapers that you directly set from say filkie wallpapers app. But the Touchwiz launcher which comes with darky's rom 9.2 will not let me set a normal sized wallpaper(which scrolls), it only lets u crop the selected wallpaper in a way where after u do it, it wont scroll. Im not sayin its Darky's rom prob, but I just cant seem to find any setting which changes it to scrollable.

Hello,
I am new to this whole rooting Nook color thing. I recently rooted mine and have been enjoying the new abilities, but I cant seem to add shortcuts to the "desktop" or home screen and can't add widgets. I searched around for a little bit but didn't really see anything listed about this..
Thanks guys
Long-press (hold) on the home screen. A window to "Add" will pop up. Tap on Widgets and enjpy

Thats what I tried, because I am used to using Android for my phone. But the only options that come up are "Clean up this panel" and "Change Wallpaper".
Not sure why I would have different options than you?
What launcher are u using? Also long press should do it!

Just the stock one. I rooted it but didn't know I had to change the launcher. I am not even sure how to do that >_> haha
Go to Market and download a launcher. Zeam, ADW and Launcher Pro seem to be the most popular. I think Market is under Extras.
edit: I use ADW but they are all similar.
Also if you want examples of how to spice up your homescreen, check out the screen shot thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860404
Most of them include which widgets they are using.
Thanks I downloaded Zeam and its working great!
I just flashed di11igaf's rom v5.2 and if you go to the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897416) and look at the screen shots, there is a five icon home screen menu that's silver. I flashed specifically for that, and as soon as it loaded up after flashing, I got the three icon one. Any ideas on why or how to fix it?
is that launcherpro? i think theres a option to use that or the android launcher as default when you hit the home button
There was launcher, launchpro and twlaunch, and I picked launcher

Thats why... You need to pick launcherpro. If you already set default, then download an app called home switcher or home manager and clear defaults then choose launcherpro. Then go press menu>Preferences and custumize it however you want. Btw launcherpro is just and app and can be downloaded from the market onto any phone and rom. And anyways most roms have it already, just because it isnt on the picture doesn't mean it isnt in the rom. And next time you can just as this in the rom thread and you would have got a faster response.

I thought that could be the problem so i just went into recovery and flashed again and I picked twlauncher and then launcher pro and it gave me the different menu. I then refreshed the window on my laptop and you gave me a confirmation, so thanks. I still dont have the cool sliver mesh menu so if theres any ideas about that, its appreciated but if not, thanks for your help.
go into the prferences and advanced setting then choose dock then custom dock and u should have the custom docks in your album to choose from then use launcherpro icons
Thanks but I recently switched too firefly and the dock its great so I'm gunna stick with that, but thanks anyways.

Hello,
I bought the Galaxy recently,and changed his rom.
Rom comes with Launchrpro,and I am very satisfied with it.
But I want to stay with the original rom menu (TW). is this possible?
In addition, I want to get the applications menu in folders.is this possible?
Thanks
I don't know which rom you are using but if that rom gives you both option then go to
settings> application> manage application> choose TW> set default (you can clear defaults too)
Hope this works for you.
There are custom roms that offer touchwiz, and you can always install it afterwards too (e.g. From apk found off the forums, or via sgs tools app).
Doc rom kitchen is a great place to start.
The app menu is launcher specific, afaik there aren't any that allow you to arrange your apps into folders, and launcherpro is the only one that lets you hide icons.

Tnx but I know that I can switch to TW.
I want to stay with Launchrpro and replace just the menu like TW.

What menu are you talking about? (screenies would be nice)
The first picture(left) is the menu I want to go back to.
This second picture menu I have now, in the launcherpro
I wish to keep launcherpro because of the comfortable home screens.
That menu is called app drawer a part of the launcher and what you want I believe not possible with launcherpro. If you want the horizontal scrolling + menu in app drawer I mean. You are better off with another launcher. Like ADW launcher or some modified TW.
As near as I can tell, what you are showing in the first pic is the TWLauncher homescreen, while in the second you are showing the App Drawer in LauncherPro.
It is easy to reproduce a similar homescreen in Launcher Pro. On your main screen, just press the button to open your App Drawer (the thing shown in your second picture). The press and hold the icon for an App you wish to put on your homescreen. Your view will switch to your homescreen, with a garbage can at the bottom. Position the icon where you with it, or drop it into the trash and start again. Once you have everything on the first homescreen that you want, go to the second screen, reopen the App Drawer, and add apps just as you did before.
You can control the number of homescreens you have, and which opens by default, from the Launcher Pro Preferences menu.

As you can see if you look closely BOTH pics are app drawer . Look first pic, grey bar down (home screen has it black) and Home button which doesnt exist in the homescreen since there is the Applications button
To OP look what I wrote you up . Or you could kinda put all yours apps on your homescreen like rschenck said.
Try Go Launcher, free in market. It lets you have the "side swiping" app drawer/menu

Quite right, my bad...been a while since I used the TWLauncher.
OP, are you asking to be able to horizontally scroll through apps, or to have buttons for Phone and other key tasks on the same page as all your apps?
I am still thinking that you can either jury rig a solution using Pro, or as Pagot suggests, try other launchers, there are lots of good ones out there...ADW, Pro, GO, Zume, plenty of others.
Is there any way for me to set my own wallpaper for my homescreen and lockscreen without using ICS's crappy cropping tool?
I know there's an app for your homescreen, but when it comes to lockscreen I can only go into the Themes app and set it from there. Even then, it is majorly zoomed in and blurry.
If it still like GB MIUI, go to lockscreen wallpaper in themes app and hit menu button, choose from gallery and there bam!

OK, now it won't even show a crop tool. It just automatically does whatever it wants for the lockscreen wallpaper. When I try to change my homescreen wallpaper through this method it still uses ICS cropping.
Try the free app QuickPic- when you go to set your wallpaper, it should come up as an option alongside Gallery or whatever. It has its own cropping tool and recognizes your setting for wallpaper, i.e. non-scrolling (fixed) or scrolling (scaled across homescreens) and allows you to crop accordingly.
edit: I am on an AOKP-based ROM and the lockscreen option lets you choose which cropping tool to use- not sure if your ROM will allow this...
I am using google launcher and when I try and change my background it does not change the lockscreen background too.
When I go to change the lockscreen background in settings it does not offer the same options to choose from as my normal background...
Not Sure why you are posting this in the Galaxy S6 forum since the question is about Google Launcher. It's not a Galaxy s6 question but, a Google questions.
However, it's been a while since I used Google's Launcher. But, when you choose a wallpaper, it should ask if you want to use it for either the Home Screen / Lock Screen or both.

Easiest way to take care of that is to go to your gallery app or whatever you use to view the image, select "More" in the upper corner, then "Set as wallpaper", then select "Home AND Lock Screen". Profit.

i use the google now launcher too, and i have no problems with this. after you choose wallpapers in the home screen. slide all the way to the right and choose wallpapers again, there you can choose where you want to change your wallpaper, home screen, lockscreen or both.
