Cannot use widescreen wallpaper after ICS install

coldracerx · Mar 27, 2012

I just loaded the ICS leaked and Now I cannot use images from my gallery as widescreen/scrolling wallpaper. Is there a setting I. Not aware of. It seem to flash the control for a second then goes away. Help please.

I had the same question. Fixed it by installing a more ics gallery. Try this. Thank me if it worked!

I was able to load the new gallery but still it will not let me do the wallpaper in wide/scrolling mode like the ones in the wallpaper gallery. I was able to do this on in gingerbread...this sucks.

I also tried the new gallery and didn't work for me... but I found a quick and easy fix; no reboot required.

Just install and apply a wallpaper from the App Zedge from the Market; a.k.a Google Play... (new name really sucks BTW).... once you do this, the scrolling wallpaper is back.

What you have to do is open ics gallery select the picture and hit menu set as, then wallpaper. If you select home screen wallpaper it will not work.

Odd, worked fine for me. Try factory restore and try ICS gallery again?

Good news. I found that google + will do the trick. Just have the photo uploaded to picasa and then tell google + to make it the wallpaper and it will scroll if the image is in widescreen format.

I tried Zedge also. It worked but it was because they happened to have the exact same pic that I wanted to use in their gallery.

What ROM did you flash and what launcher are you using. I want to say that I did see that same thing on one of the ICS ROMs. Don't remember offhand which one though.

I use one click and apex launcher. Everything works great. But i think apex will work with any rom.

Yeah, it looks like he switched launchers and it started working correctly for him. I think it actually may be a launcher/gallery combo as well. I wish I could remember what I was trying when I saw that it wasn't doing the widescreen correctly.

coldracerx · Apr 21, 2012

I am on the leaked ICS ROM. I found it is the touchwiz launcher gallery combo that has the issue. I now use Google+ to set a image I want to use as widescreen.

QuickPic > *

Seriously. Use it for everything. Gallery is broken.

I'm on Sky ICS UCLD2 base and I can set any 960X800 image as a scrolling widescreen wallpaper just like in GB.
