[Q] ADW launcher wallpaper problem

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?

I AM using adw ex version...

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...

[Q] Portrait wallpapers?

I remember in a previous ROM I had (Cant remember which one D: ) when setting a wallpaper I had the ability to choose a portrait wallpaper, or a scrollable "wide wallpaper". I would love to get that back, as I have many 480x800 wallpapers that I have to blow-up and pixelate because I cant set is as a portrait wallpaper D:
Suggestions?

Just to be clear, you want one wallpaer to just stay in the center of the screen?
If so press menu-->prefences-->appearance-->Disable wallpaper scrolling.
If that's not what you want, just say so.

No, cause even with wallpaper scrolling turned off it still wants you to crop the image to be scrollable. I have tried 5+ launchers but im pretty sure it has to do with whatever handles the wallpaper chooser.

Answer me this, is the wallpaper you have a portrait wallpaper? And if so try this, go into prefrences and then homescreen. Change number of screens to 1 and then set your wallpaper. Does that fix it?

Negatory.
It still wants me to crop the photo in a 4:3 ratio.
Did this with GO Launcher, LauncherPro, and ADW EX. To no avail.

Try Gallery 3D
Wallpaper Set and Save
or Wallpaper Plus
Using Astro = Fail most of the time.

They're just pictures and are linked to the applications via desktop Visualizer.

I knew i should have shared that when i first found it last month... oh well. The only thing that kept me from keeping it was that icons would get cut out when you use that many columns and rows, otherwise, i have that setup backed up on my sd card for later use.

use the link to follow the how to guide...
(Desktop Visualizer) widget on your homescreen.
3x1 widget: select which picture u want to use extracted from the zip.
For the application, choose best fit app for picture u chose. Clear the label and no touch effect.

I did, but I had to have it set items get resized to fit grid size
Sent from my Epic 4g thats perfect in stock form.

is u using desktop Visualizer and or adw launcher?..if so hold the item widget for a few sec until a menu pops up and click edit.. that with let u adjust the widget size.. start off by using a 1x2 and go bigger to your likings.. as to the landscape setting use the adw launcher setting not the menu phone settings..

I know what the difference is, your grid size is different than what I had. Thanks, but I never had trouble in the first place. I'm using a different setup now anyway.

scrolling Wallpaper

Sup everyone? Is there a way to get the wallpaper to scroll across the different home screens? Is a mod needed? I used a 3rd party launcher (ApexPro) and it doesn't scroll either. All my HD wallpapers are cropped into tiny columns

atm i don't see any mod about this.
However, you can use another launcher like nova if you want this

Nova lets you do this? I have the option selected in Apex and it still doesnt do it.
