Solved: Wallpaper auto changing after Nova Launcher update - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

After updating Nova Launcher to its Material Design update, my wallpaper keeps changing automatically. I have checked the settings but nothing seems wrong. Does anyone know what's going on?
Edit: It was an app called Tapet that was randomizing wallpapers.

I do not have the app "Tapet" and this is still happening to me after I set my homescreen wallpaper. Sometimes the icons of my app also disappears when I change the size of the grid. Could anyone please provide a fix for this?

Home.apk gets frozen

From time to time my widgets on the home screens are getting stuck. for example clock widget, weather widget, music widget. clock stops on a random hour. Music widget is completely not working., The only solution is to restart the phone or "Force stop" the Home.apk. I´m on 10H firmware and I've already restored the phone to factory defaults. Just wondering if someone experienced same thing? if yes can you advise how to fix it? The non stock widgets I´'m using are: BeWeather Pro and ClockQ Premium.
Have not yet heard of that problem?
May use another launcher (apex for example)
and see if it occures with it the same way.
Greetings
It looks like BeWeather was doing it. I've removed the widget from the screen yesterday and since that time no issues at all. Will report that to developer of the app.

Wallpaper Scroll?

Does anyone know whats up with the wallpaper scrolling? I noticed the sense 5 launcher doesn't support it, but i cant even get nova to scroll either, its very strange... Any one else?
EDIT: Landscape wallpaper from the play store does work but its pretty wonky... Wallpaper keeps scrolling even when theres no more home screens. Does anyone know why third party launchers wont scroll either? Ive tried many.

get landscape wallpaper from google play
Wallpaper scrolling works on nova.
Go to nova settings -> Desktop -> Wallpaper Scrolling and choose 'Force'.
Ya i got it to work, the first time i enabled the force scroll i think i cropped it in landscape with nova wallpaper which doesnt allow scrolling. Thanks.

App names disappeared in app drawer

Hello all,
I am using the Apex Launcher and all my app names disappeared in the App Drawer.
I digged trough all the setting but I cant seem to find where to put it on.
Please help me !!
Minimize the number of icons on the grid. Set it to 5 X 5 or 5 X 6 max
Reorganise your app grid and check if you changed the icon size... If noticed if you have a dense app drawer and change the icons size to 110% the text doesn't have enough room to show up.... Just try a smaller value and you should be good to go

[Q] Nova launcher & Sony lockscreen Wallpaper

Had a quick search online and in xda but couldn't find much, few posts on a forum elsewhere.
I'm running nova launcher and can change my home wallpaper with ease. The lock screen is a different matter.
From settings > personalisation > lock screen
I can change to any of the standard Sony wallpapers, if I try and use my own it never changes. Anyone else found this? Have I missed something obvious :s
On .534 as no update for me yet, and no requirement to root yet.
i think this problem on nova launcher. becuase i use go launcher i can change my own pict on lock screen.
try go launcher, i very reccoment go launcher + go notification. with little setting your phone will fast and smooth(i has been use apex after try go ex, i never looking to other >< just my oponion.)

Nah, just cleared the defaults and rebooted. Using the standard Sony home, still can't select any other 3rd party or user wallpaper.
I'll try go in a bit, but if even stock software can't change it then it looks to be a bug?
Edit: no change, didn't think it would. Prefer nova over go from that short test but something to play around with.
Looks like an android issue than launcher
any locksceen app installed?
Sent from my C6902 using xda app-developers app

may be something wrong on your setting/rom.

Yep, tried that as well. It's stock and not rooted. I've no want to root yet.
Which fw are you on? 534?
Nothing major, I just like to know why Somethings not working etc
factory reset, if not help, flash firmware again...

I'm also running nova launcher and stock .534 but i haven't had a problem switching wallpapers on the lockscreen. I've used camera generated photos and zedge wallpapers.

Sorted it.
I use quickpic as an album replacement app. Cleared the defaults and use the Sony album to crop then pictures and working as it should.
Something between quickpic and the os which didn't talk well I guess.

nova import

i tried importing my layout from TouchWiz to Nova and all my desktop icons are default Android icons. Have cleared data, uninstalled nova and reinstalled. Any Ideas?
Not using any themes
You have to install an icon pack for Nova
Tried installing icon pack. Didnt fix
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Yes, I notice that now. But once you change to Nova, you can edit the icon then change to required icon.
Kind of a pain to do them all isnt it? Is this a bug or maybe i did something
