I thought the transparent navigation bars were supposed to be able to show part of the wallpaper through them, but it isn't working for mine. Whenever I press the home button it snaps the wallpaper around like crazy, it zooms it in and for a second you can see the transparency working, but then it snaps back and the image starts from right above the bar, leaving an ugly dark space in there.
I haven't modded the phone or anything, I'm hoping there's a setting somewhere that messes it up for me.
Any help is appreciated.
Why my 290 doesn't have a pre-installed theme like that?:-o

No, you go to where you set themes and press the plus-icon in upper right. Takes you to where you can download them from Sony Select.
That's a weird issue, mine doesn't have this
Try clearing data for the Sony launcher

it is not preinstalled, you go to themes and click on + in the upper right corner to go to sony select and choose a theme that you want and then install it from play store.

I would like to know how did you make your navigation bar transparent? or if you didn't, what do you mean by "transparent" in your post?

Ok, the problem is temporarily solved.
I don't know how it fixed itself though. I had been using both the Album app and Quickpic to set wallpapers when I was having the problem, but when I used Wallpaper Wizardrii it worked like it should. Weird thing is, now afterwards it seems to work with the album app again.
Anyone else who would have the problem should try Wallpaper Wizardrii I guess. It's an app for optimally setting wallpapers, it has a cumbersome interface but it does what it says it does.

Not the entire bar, but part of it. It's just a feature some of the new themes have. See the attachment.

Understood.
Try uninstalling the theme, reboot, reinstall and see if it works.

Maybe they'll eventually add that in to CM7's settings. Right now AFAIK the only way to do this is through third-party apps like WidgetLocker, which I use (Look & Feel/Alternative Wallpaper & Select Wallpaper). It's a pay app, but you can try it trial. I love being able to have any normal widget on my home screen.

I don't see a trial version. Do you get to use it for a while before it either stops working or you pay for it?

Well, it was many months ago when I bought it so I might have been wrong about the trial. That sucks.
Actually, wallpapers don't seem to be working, at least with Widget Locker on GSB at the moment. Sorry for the misinformation. I'm going to let the author know; I talked to him about an issue a long time ago.

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.

This device continues to frustrate and confound me at every turn. I have tried many times to change the dreadful lock screen wallpaper and it just refuses to change it? I have tried both Go Launcher and the stock TW Launcher to no avail. I cannot wait for people to develop some better ROM for this thing. I think it really wants to be a great device but Samsung & AT& T just don't want us to be happy with it I guess.
settings>screen>screen display>lockscreen>wallpaper
I have done that multiple times still the stock bluish lock screen remains???

Dude, take a deep breath.
Go into Settings/Display/Screen. Do you see where you can change the font and homescreen wallpaper? On that same sub-menu there's another area for lockscreen wallpaper. Click it, it'll take you to the wallpaper cropper. Once you've cropped the image in the wallpaper cropper, be sure to hit OK in the upper right of the screen to save and set.
Alternatively, go into Gallery, find a picture you like, open the menu, it'll give you the option to set as either a homescreen or lockscreen wallpaper, then go through the standard crop process.
Lockscreen Wallpaper is NOT handled by the launcher code, it's an OS level action, FYI.

Croak,
I am by no means an expert but I have been messing with this stuff for a while and I have tried everything including what you mentioned. It does not change no matter what I try. It isn't the biggest deal in the world but I would like to be able to change that ugly lock screen background.
If you've done what I said, and it doesn't work, then something is borked on YOUR SPECIFIC UNIT. Lockscreen wallpaper changing is **** easy in Honeycomb, and it worked fine on both my Tab 8.9 LTE units, Bell and AT&T, both before and after flashing/rooting/overclocking.
If it really bothers you, backup and then factory reset, and if that doesn't help, move on to a reflash of the AT&T firmware. Guarantee that one or the other will solve your problem.
I take it you ARE seeing the option to change in Settings and in Gallery? If so, I suspect it's a permissions issue, and could be an artifact of the ADB fun you had when rooting and overclocking.
Can you fix permissions through adb?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda premium
You can, but we have no idea what exactly is fracked, hence the nuclear factory reset option. It's the only way to be sure.
I did a factory reset and can now change the wallpaper. But I lost root and everything else is setup previously what a PIA! Oh well guess I have to re-rooted and start over. On a good note the market seems to work better now was having issues with it loading slow and hanging.

Shouldn't have to re-root, just download SuperUser from the Market.

Yea factory reset shouldn't change the kernel
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Well it completely wiped everything. I did the factory reset from the UI not from recovery. No biggie I just reconfigured it from scratch. I found the problem was Quickpic which I like much better than the OEM gallery. But when I set Quickpic to default image handler it borked the lock screen wallpaper option. Once I cleared the defaults and used the gallery I was able to change the wallpaper no problem. Weird issue but I have learned that with Android nothing is surprising.
I guess it should, but maybe one of those who got their phones already can confirm this.

Yes, it does remove blinkfeed. Tested with apex launcher.
It will still be a background process, will it not? Even though its not visible. Like sense Rosie/prism itself

Torxx, you wouldn't happen to know a way we can have a alternative launcher running and keep blink feed?
I like it but I want my old Nova Launcher back
Alternatively, If I have to make do (which I expect I will have to lol) How can I change the Icons on the home screen Dock?
Or am I just being as thick as a plank??....

To rearrange the dock icons, open the app drawer and then drag the unwanted ones back into drawer. You might need to drag them to where they're supposed to go (i.e. I have my drawer sorted automatically and had to drag the camera to where it'd be in the drawer).
You can only have the 4 apps on there but if you remove any, you're free to put whatever you want in its place.

It would be active, continuously streaming content to its interface on the sense launcher
Best option would be to change launchers and then freeze Sense
Just un-check all the options/feeds leaving blinkfeed blank. This way it fetches nothing. Then run you new launcher.

Thanks for the tip but Ive figured that out. The issue Im having is, If I use a Icon changer, it drops a widget on the home screen that is essentially a shortcut to the app you pick.
Because its a widget, it wont let me move it to the dock at the bottom...
I know I could probably go hinting to try and change the pings manually, I just really cant be bothered as I know It wont be long before I flash another rom.
Any Ideas?
Freeze it in titanium if you don't want it.
So i just picked up the 6 yesterday! Finally! It's a sweet phone and I'm glad i went w/ this over the note 4 for sure!
So a problem I am having is listed below. note that i am using Solo launcher and still have encryption enabled.
- When I click on any app in the app drawer it just kind of turns a shade of gray but nothing happens.. . the app won't open up! I have to drag it to my home screen first where I can then access it no problem. update: it appears this is a problem isolated to solo launcher, just emailed the dev.
- Chrome only lets me have one tab open at a time, it is not like normal where i can open multiple ones at the same time. i may be missing something here.
