Wallpaper alignment - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having an issue where I set my wallpaper when I first flashed my current Rom ... omega ... and it is aligned in the centre which is fine. But then after a day or so when I come on my phone it is now being aligned to the left of the screen and is completely off centre. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you using "scrolling wallpaper" and no longer using the centre homescreen?

I'm using omega rom so It's basically stock TW. So no option to turn off scrolling. And like I said it started out centred. Then at some point I swiped the screen across with my finger and then it was no longer centred by aligned to the left ... or right ... even though I only have 1 home screen. :S

Strange indeed. You can align and so forth when setting wallpaper but touching the homescreen should not change it. Is the resolution native - ie 1080x1920?

I've not changed any settings so I'd imagine so. Like now when I set a wallpaper from gallery and it is a portrait picture and I scale it there is a gap at one side. :S most frustrating

Anyone got any idea what the issue could be? Thanks very much.

Side Bar

Hi,
I've been using my new HD2 for almost a week and I'm very happy with it. I've a little problem, however, that the special function of the side bar has disappeared. That is, when you press the side roll bar, it will become bigger and make you easier to control and roll the bar up/down. But this morning when i press the side bar, it doesn't enlarge itself, though i'm still able to roll it up and down. I really love to have it enlarged when pressed. Can you tell me how to make this function work again? Thanks.
noticed mine has disapeared too, i had to hard reset my phone for a different reason and it still hasnt come back. i`d really like it back too.

I think they're talking about scroll bars that get bigger when you put your thumb/finger on them.
Guys - what applications are they not working in? Do they work, for example, in file explorer?

its not present in any applications, its like it was an app itself and somehow been deleted. like i said i`v hard reset a couple of times for various reasons but been missing that scroll bar icon for a while now. to me its not the end of the world but it can be a bit fiddly at times.
You know what? This is totally strange!
Reading this post I said to myself: let's check. Stupor, the magnifying part of the scroll bar is gone, vanished!
I wonder if the guys from HTC are aware of that…
Well mine still works. Have you guys been adding any theme mods?
Maybe you folks changed the theme?
The biggie smalls scrollbars only work on the default HTC Black theme, if you select one of the WM6.5 designer themes or download your own the magic scrollbars will be turned off.

You're right! I changed back from Rock and Republic black theme to HTC Black and is working.
maybe it can be done a port of it on the other themes.

Maybe, that would be nice.
The thing that's stopped me from getting new themes for the HD2 is exactly the loss of those scrollbars.

[Q] Unable to change lock screen wallpaper. Please help !

I received my Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Panamoz two days ago. All works fine, but I can't change the ugly orange wallpaper on the lock screen. Is it a problem with my tab or a well known issue ? If not, how can I change it ? I've tried several classic methods but the orange screen is still there :-(
Thanks for your help.

You see the + in the top right hand corner of the home screen? You can change the lock screen will gallery images.
Settings>Screen>Screen display>Lock screen
At which point you should be in Gallery (or if, like me, you have an alternative pic viewer--e.g., QuickPic--installed, the dialogue box should ask you to "select wallpaper from"...). Select photo of choice, crop where necessary, and presto.
I place all of my own wallpapers in jpg format in a folder in the internal sd storage.
Funny you should say that I was trying last night and could not change just tried and worked perfect strange must have been tired or drunk
I have already tried all what you're saying (I'm not a beginner), all the classic methods to change the lock screen wallpaper. It doesn't work. I select a wallpaper (Samsung ones or mine) , save the change, but the orange lock screen is still in place. I don't understand why. I can only change the home wallpaper.
Okay, I've had this issue before and got it worked out.
When you choose the image for your lockscreen just use gallery crop, don't crop with QuickPic or any other app.

Try holding down on the icons and moving them. If you can, remove them from the screen and re add them. If not, try disabling any xposed modules (if you have any that could effect the home screen) and look at it again. I don't personally use the touchwiz launcher and this never happened to me, so these are just guesses. Also, I noticed you have a strange colored Google app in your bottom bar. Did you do anything to the icon, and if so did you possibly break other icons while doing it?

I did factory reset my phone and still see these , is there any software to fix that or this is a hardware issue .
is this called a burn-in issue or it is called some thing else .
thanks for replying .
Are those applications actually there software wise? If not, then it would be a burn-in, where the screen has the images "burned in" and can't be removed. If they are there you could try flashing a stock tar using Odin for whatever build you want.

yes , they are software wise and if you look very good in the pic you can notice the whatsapp shadow on the screen , also I had flashed the stock.tar odin rom many times and they are still there , if this case is a burn-in issue what software would you suggest to fix because I tried all the softwares on the playstore and they didn't help .
thanks

The only other thing I can suggest is to take your phone to Verizon and see what they can do. They might have to replace it.
having same issue in MotoG3
I got this phone(MotoG3) 15 days back, it worked fine for a few days and suddenly I noticed that a "Whats app Shadow" is coming on my home-screen, it was hardly noticeable at first but then it became darker and darker, I replaced the phone thinking it might be a software issue, and got the same handset today itself, it worked fine but again as I installed whats app the same shadow problem appeared, I uninstalled it and it started to work properly. Am not sure where is the problem, so please help me out.
About the shadow issue:
The home screen of whats app appears in my wallpaper and also above all the other apps, a transparent shadow kinda thingy, I hope you people got what am trying to say.
Thank You
I also have the same issue on my redmi note 8 but in my phone i doesn't shows the shadow of the icon but but the shadow off appa inside when I use anh app
I have the same issue on my Pixel; the shadow apps aren't directly on my home screen, but when apps are opened. Perhaps due to Google system.

There's a lot of apps you can download that changes the lookscreen and adds customizability
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cmcm.locker&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay
do any of these work with fingerprint scanner? CM says it does, but i don't see the option in their menu -- just pattern or password.

Guys, can I hijack this thread to ask if your backlight is on when you use a pure black wallpaper as your lock screen wallpaper?
My blacks are pure black when I open my screensaver in the gallery (if i tap the screen to remove the UI, I can't see the screen at all in a dark room) and it's the same for most screens except for the lock screen. In the lock screen it almost appears gray or it appears like it's affected by backlight bleeding. Just wanted to find out if it's a software bug (since it's almost like the Night Clock bug) or if it's a defect with my phone. I also cleared my cache with no success.
Also, how do you take a screenshot of the lock screen?

Not sure if they work with the s6 edge, might have to wait for that support. I'll personally just wait for xposed to be updated so i can get fun stuff like wanam xposed, and just live with the current launcher, as i really like the fingerprint scanner.

You can change wallpaper by long pressing on an empty space in the homescreen. It goes into edit mode and you will see a wallpaper icon and label at the bottom left. Tap that and you are directed to another menu to select whether to apply your wallpaper to just your home or lockscreen or both. You can also go to settings>wallpaper to change wallpapers.
As for the weather, the design changes accordingly with the theme you choose.
Hope this helps.

Tap on your homescreen weather widget. Go to more>settings>show weather information. Profit.

Thanks so much for sharing guys. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that white status bar I have in the lockscreen. It just looks so ugly. Hopefully an upcoming FW update from my carrier would fix it. :fingers-crossed:
Does someone know how to get the wallpaper the S6 gets when it's on update mod? Blue cyan w/bugdroid on the middle. I really love it
Simple look.

I don't understand why there is a shortcut to the camera on the lockscreen?
I thought you could open the camera frem everywhere with two cliks on the home button?

Why the need to change that? You only see that when there's an update. Do you get an update every hour?

[help] my lock screen wallpaper won't stop moving? Please help me if you can.

So I factory reset my phone to improve it. I have a few issues going on but the biggest is that my lock screen moves outwards whenever I am on the lock screen. I have tried to disable wallpaper motion but I do not even have that option in wallpaper settings. I uninstalled Live Wallpaper with Kingroot but that did not help me at all. I have already unrooted my phone so any non-root fixes I would highly appreciate. I just want the wallpaper to stop moving! Thank you so much in advance for any help!
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime running on Android 5.1.1.

It's kind of hard to explain. Like when I am on my phones lock screen it is like my wallpaper is zoomed in, and then it will move (like zoom out) to the normal size I set it as. This does not happen on my home screen, just the lock screen.
