Someone may have already mentioned this but I did not find it using the search term "floating icons". Anyways, with a picture set as a wallpaper if you hold the phone at a slight angle and move it around it appears the icons float just a little bit off of the wallpaper. Almost like the wallpaper is on a seperate screen under the screen that the icons appear on. I looked at a guys S6 phone and did not notice it but he had a theme wallpaper and not a picture. Maybe I am just a little crazy. Have a look at your phone and let me know if you see it as well. Stock TW launcher.
Yes, it is called "Wallpaper motion effect". You can turn it on or off. Please see the attached screenshot.

Anytime I try to select my own wallpaper on my phone it applies correctly but its appears washed out. As long as I used the default wallpaper for the theme I have selected its fine.
I've attached a couple screen shots to show you what I mean.
Anyone know how to fix this?
The first is the original jpg for the wallpaper.
open pictures and video then open the picture then go to menu and click save as today screen (image?) change opaticty to 0% then click ok
That did it! Thanks a bunch!
is there a way to have your home wallpaper at just 480x320 resolution where it just stays in the same place & doesn't scroll behind the icons? without using a home replacement app.
"wallpaper set and save" in the market

I am not sure what the previous post meant? You need to compile your own launcher with eclipse. When you download the source from git, there is a launcher.java file which allows you to change the number of homescreens. I am trying to figure out how to do the actual compiling. If you find out let me know.
I think I have this figured out. When I am able to make a 3 screen launcher, I will also do a 1 screen, and post it for you.
what he wants or wants to know, is if it can be set up to make his icons more from screen to screen, but have his wallpaper not move (now it moves a little bit left or right when you slide to a different screen.) I have never seen such a thing myself to stop this from happening.
the "wallpaper set and save" app worked perfectly. thank you
Wallpaper Plus
well you can use wallpaper plus but its a paid app but it works and you can also crop the selected image for the single screen and that'' leave it as one image but will suck in landscape since its cropped and wont strecth but i suggest it, works very well

what I do is, I take a 320x480 image and use wallpaper set and save app, and the wallpaper doesn't move just my 5 screens do, but I don't know if thats a possibility on the stock rom, I;m using CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1
what someone should do is make it to where itll show a DIFFERENT wallpaper for every screen...

that would be nice!!
Wallpaper plus does that for you.
Although the app isn't free lol
So I have noticed (and mentioned this in the Continuum rom developmental thread) but I noticed this in the Serendipity Rom (I am currently using now) as well so I thought I would make a new thread for it to draw some attention to it.
I made a custom wallpaper to use (with only one screen to use 480 x 800) and after making it and putting it onto my phone. I made it my wallpaper but it seems to zoom in on the centre of the wallpaper ( an image will be attached to this; it is not exact, but it shows what I am getting at) This never happened with froyo roms but it seems that the gingerbread roms are having this issue.
I tried everything i could think of to get it full size but doesnt seem to work
when you chose wallpaper it generally brings up the picture with a grayed out are around a orange (or whatever colour is the default for your theme) box. if you drag the very edge of the box some arrows will show up and you can expand it to fill the entire walpaper then just hit save and your done

Yes I know this. I've done this enough times to make sure I have covered the full wallpaper and I have. As I can see the whole wallpaper on my screen visible in my selection. But when I accept it it zooms into the red area.
maby try using a different launcher and see if that helps and if not and if it is widspread throughout the rom then its probobly a problem with the galary.apk on that rom
Tried different launchers still the same thing happens so it must be something thats going on in the roms.
Anybody else with ideas?
Go to the market and try "wallpaper set and save"
Do you have # of screens set to 1 in your launcher? Just a thought.

Looks like it did the trick! Thanks. Now I just need to centre the single screen wallpaper within a full size wallpaper (960 x 480).
Hi to all.
I cant find a solution to my problem and maybe someone can help me.
I have found some wallpapers for our Note in the right resolution (800x1280) to use these in my lockscreen.
The problem is that when i choose a wallpaper with lot of black color and choose it as lockscreen wallpaper i can see some horizontal lines on it.
If i choose the same image as phone wallpaper everything is ok.
Where is the problem?
Thank you all.
I have the exact same issue. Horizontal lines on lock screen, but looks fine everywhere else. I don't have the solution, but maybe I can help you out a bit.
I did some searching, it turns out that there's some sort of software bug that doesn't allow black images to be truly black but rather very dark grey. The thread is somewhere in this forum.
Also the native lock screen resolution is actually smaller than the screen resolution because of the notification bar. Per this forum: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/37268-lockscreen-resolution-compression-issues-false-info.html
Also when you set an image to be the lock screen, it seems the picture is re-scalled and saved again (in another directory), which means compressed again.
Android phones usually don't display images in 24 or 32 bit color but rather 16 bit color, which means color banding. More on that information somewhere in this thread also.
My suggestion is:
1. Find out the native lock screen resolution. I'm also searching for the figure.
2. Edit your photo, change it to that resolution, and make sure the black areas of that image are truly digitally black (000000), and save it as an uncompressed image.
Maybe the horizontal lines are because the image is being re-scalled, re compressed, and the image being displayed at 16 bit color with a "true black but" is resulting in horizontal lines.
The solution is this. I'm using it and black is perfect.

Not bad idea at all...I have used widgetlocker in my previous phones but somehow i had some little problems like small lugs or battery draining.
I dont know if in the latest version is fixed.
But ill try cause i love black lockscreen in our huge super screen...
edit:Not working properly for me cause i have lower destiny...
Ah, what a shame! But WL does work, so if you ever go back to the stock density i highly recommend you using it.
Magick locker is free so you can test that, get a theme and customize wallpaper, set any black image and its fine. so its samsung lockscreen software bug
One simple solution, use wallpaper wizardrii!!

is this effect happening if you look at a black picture in the gallery also? check that out. because some themes put a gradient effect on the wallpapers for some reason. maybe it's just that.
Test your screen by installing Material Black theme. See if its black everywhere but the lockscreen when fingerprint lock is on. Then you will know if it's your screen or just a software issue.
I'm not only one who have this issue (some t mobile users also have the same issue like me, maybe it only happens to t mobile devices), so I think it's the software issue. Everything looks like your, but the home screen and app drawer with rectangle box.
having the same issue but on top part of the screen
here is the thread i created
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/screen-colour-issue-t3330151
Its only happening on the lock screen. Its because of the shortcuts of camera and phone.

i tried the theme the issue disappears with theme wallpaper but soon after another black wallpaper is set issue comes back
I looked at the OP's screenshot and thought to myself that I only saw the Samsung Pay card. If that thin rectangle is your issue, I might be missing your point, but that to me looks like you have Samsung pay active. If so, turn it off. Does that fix your issue? If it does, then that bar is there for you to swipe the app open. As far as when it is there when on a black screen, my answer is that it looks like that for contrast as it is transparent when I had it active.
BUT if I AM missing the point, I'll gladly delete this post.
any solution found ?
