Hey guys! Bought my z3 today and have a few questions hopefully you guys can help me with . Iam sure it will help others to .......

1, How do i get my wallpaper to only take up one homescreen? When i swipe left to right for example... the wallpaper moves which i would rather it NOT do?
2, Is it possible to make icons smaller? Ive put some apps on the homescreen and they look massive! Ideally would like them to look smaller
3, Can i scale widget size? I could on my last device but not on this? I want to make the clock widget bigger but cant?

1. NO, for this use third party launcher.
2. As i know, no. You can only change font size (Settings > Display > Font size) - Maybe it will help you. For DPI change you need to root it, and to change build.prop to make things smaller or bigger.
3. Yes, select widget and drop it on same place, you will get dots for resize. Of course, if widget support it.

Thanks,Pity about the wallpaper! Would much rather if you could crop the image and not have to have the wallpaper panned out over the various home screens

Found a fix for the wallpaper issue ! Not ideal but it works, If you download backgrounds hd from the play store and choose your wallpaper from within that app , it gives you the option to crop the image and set it as a fixed wallpaper :) Just make sure 'scrollable' is NOT ticked! As i said,Not ideal but it works! Really dont like scrolling wallpapers !!

Thanks! I'll go to take a look. Hope they have also the stock wallpapers.

I also don't like scrolling wallpapers :)
