ok, So even though ADW isnt official for HC and you cant get it from the market I was able to side load it and I noticed a glitch. Say if you have either a gmail or email widget on your homescreen (the ones built into hc) and you go to a different home screen and flip the tablet to portrait to landscape of visa versa it wont stay on the current screen, it will flip to the homescreen that has the widgets. When I removed the widgets it would stay on the current screen. So what I did was move the widgets off my default screen to the 2nd screen. I went to different screen and flipped the tablet and this time instead of flipping back to the home screen it flipped back to whatever screen I had the widget(s) on. I tried using JUST the gmail widget and not the email widget and I got the same results, also tried just the email widget and not the gmail and got the same results. So something is causing ADW to go to whatever screen the widget is on when you switch orientation.
Can anyone who has adw confirm if this is happening to you as well?
i havent had that problem but i get a fc trying to use the adw ex email widget. also i do not like how the wallpaper aligns on the screen using the launcher in landscape mode. id rather use the stock launcher because of that one reason. im kinda picky i guess haha

Hello folks, today I decided to try ADW launcher on my GTAB. I must say there are some really great looking themes, and its quite smooth and nice to use. The only problem I have went through so far is that wallpaper doesn't fit the all screen when in landscape mode. I have tried to resize them with the Gallery App, and I have also tried to download new ones from interfacelift with resolution of 960x854 or 960x800 but nothing has changed, and even wallpapers downloaded from the Grallery app doest fit the all screen in landscape mode. So I thought it must be a bug in ADW. Is there a way to make them fit the all screen ??
Thanks
not sure if this will help as I dont have a tab, but go into the ADM launcher setting and check or uncheck the wallpaper hack option....maybe that will help

It's old thread but is there anything happened with that problem since December? lol
Im still strugling witht that problem and half an hour surfing on the net didnt help. I sent mail to developer but so far no reply.
So the problem is old does anyone solved it yet?
What exactly is happening? Are some parts of the screen not covered by the wallpaper or are you only seeing a part of the wallpaper. I use ADW and in landscape mode. I get the top third of a wallpaper fully covering the screen. A live wallpaper I use works perfectly. Perhaps reset ADW to its default settings?

Have you tried these wallpapers with any other launcher?
You'll find that its the gallery's fault more than anything. Try multi picture livewallpaper

I am experiencing this as well. Portrait mode there is no issue, it is just landscape mode.
The stock standard Samsung home screen doesn't have an issue, it is just when I am viewing the ADW Launcher EX home screen. It is zoomed in on a particular section of the wallpaper and is only displaying a portion of the picture.
I have a Samsung GT-P7510 running Honeycomb 3.1 and ADW version 1.3.3.1
I too have the issue with my galaxy note, and i started this thread and had no luck so far

ADW Launcher EX wallpaper rotation bug
Well, on my Nexus 5 using ADW Launcher EX :
I'm in portrait mode, I set a custom wallpaper (image fits full screen, sides as expected are scrolling left/right when I switch through the desktops).
Now, I just rotate the phone to go in landscape mode, the wallpaper rotates but is cropped top/bottom and left/right too. "Ok, whatever..."
Then I rotate the phone back to portrait mode : the wallpaper doesn't come back to its original state but is kinda "zoomed in" so cropped on the four sides... I have to re-set it to get my original picture back...
The only fix I found was to force ADW to be in portrait mode and not use the sensor (the default launcher sticks to portrait mode anyway).
So, there actually IS a bug in ADW Launcher EX...
I wish the developer would fix this...
Hi, I've been having this issue for a very long time now, actually ever since I started to use the said music player app. It's an amazing app, no doubt, as it gives you a very good music player with a zune-like ui. The problem I have is with the widget. If you put an Ubermusic widget 4x4 on your screen, and the orientation is in portrait, you'll get 6 buttons: prev, play/pause and next at the bottom of the widget, and playlist, repeat, shuffle on the right side. But for some reason, whenever I rotate my screen into landscape, the last three buttons (playlist, repeat, shuffle) inconveniently disappears.) I tried 'resizing' the widget in landscape to see if it will fix the problem, but I find out that even if you resize it in the maximum size that it can get (10x10), it still won't let you see those buttons IF IT'S IN LANDSCAPE. It functions fine in portrait, but the problem is I always use my device (a NookColor running CM7,) in landscape. I tried this on various launchers as well. I primarily use ADW EX and I tried it in Go Launcher but it still won't solve the problem. I tried contacting the developer, he said that since the widget was designed with phone constraints in mind, it will always be that way. I suggested a widget usable in landscape but he didnt respond. I love this app, and I woukd greatly appreciate it if someone can help me out. Is there any way to modify the APK and correct the widget or at least 'trick' the widget into thinking that it's in landscape? By the way, the widget skin I used was the Clear Widgets Skin (transparent one).

Hope someone can help out. :'(
Is there a way so I'm able to put icons or widget all the way to the top or the bottom of the screen? The "boarder" doesn't allow me to and see like a waste of screen space.
i dont think you can because rotating the tab from landscape to portrait would then make some dissapear ins certain views.
you could try a different launcher like adw ex which might allow you to use more screen estate!
I would love to use dock mode sometimes but it seems so boring.I have searched for ways to change the dock mode widgets with no luck.I am able to change the dock mode shortcuts and the wallpaper but i would rather change the music widget to Google Music Widget.My reason is because my google music don't show up on the dock in the default music widget.Is there any way to change the widgets in dock mode
Running stock ICS 4.0 Sense 3.6 locked.I prefer not to use a different launcher.
I too would like to change the music widget out for FriendStream like in GB. Not that I can see it at night, it is just a better widget than the music which, for me, is a big bunch of nothing on the screen. At least FriendStream is something to look at.
I did find other dock mode screens in the market but this is the only one that will go into dock mode if you are coming from the lock screen (with a PIN).
I have ran across some forums that mention Wave Launcher as a nice dock launcher.
I may try it later on when i feel like spending the $1.99 that is cost

I would so like the ability to change the widget on the widget on the dock screen. I am looking at this all day at work. I much preferred the friend stream. Even better would be a photo slideshow.
I would also like to straight up remove the three launch icons on the bottom.
Does any one know if these things can be done?
Some of you may be familiar with my typical home screen layout and custom wallpapers that I make on my PC. Well, I'm now experiencing issues with applying wallpapers to my home screen. Everything is slightly off, and not aligned properly. It appears that the phone is "zooming in" the wallpaper as it sets. Like, I'll have a border separating the notification bar area and my home screen but when applying the wallpaper that border is moved further up into the notification area. Like I said, the wallpaper seems to be "zooming in" as I set the wallpaper to my home screen.
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime. 12x12 grid. No dock.
I tried using Apex Launcher and ran into the exact same issue.
I've restarted the launcher. Restarted the phone. Used different photo apps to apply the wallpaper to the home screen. Nothing has fixed this. I'm not sure what else to try. If anyone here has any idea on why wallpapers are distorted (zoomed in a bit) as I apply them to my home screen, please help. Thanks!
ETA: Added two screen shots with a specific wallpaper that I found online to help show you what I'm talking about. When I see the preview of what setting the wallpaper will look like, it doesn't apply that way after setting the wallpaper.
Sweet, baby Jesus! I found the solution!
Please let this be a PSA for everyone who may run into this issue. The culprit was that stupid "Motion Effect" option while using the One UI launcher. You have to make sure when switching back to it from a third party launcher like Nova that you choose the "always" option so that it's your default launcher (stock launcher). Then when you do that and choose to apply a wallpaper, you'll see the "Motion Effect" option right under the image. Uncheck that stupid thing and your wallpapers will not longer "zoom in" like they did before.
Now, everything is lined up as it should!
