Help New update with no scrolling wallpaper??

[magnostorm]

Hi,

Just had the new 2.3.5 update yesterday which is great, but the old wallpaper screen that would scroll through has been replaced with a static screen. Is there a way to still use the old scroll screen so i can still use my pictures with out being croped?

Thanks
Paul.

Well, that's how Sense 3.0 goes... static image for wallpaper, though I don't know about whether other sense 3.0/3.5 ROM (requires rooting first) around have scrollable wallpaper or not since I haven't root my phone yet.
If you're not rooted as well, you might want to wait patiently for Sense 3.6(+ICS!) to come down in the next 3-4 months or so, it's more likely to keep scroll wallpaper ala stock android, since they say they're trimming the Sense fatty issue.

Sense 3.5 ROM here and it doesn't scroll. As said above ICS does scroll but I don't know if ICS with sense 3.6 or 4.0 will do it, perhaps someone else knows more on the subject.

Without rooting though you'll be waiting a long time to get ICS on the DHD, I would guess 6months+ going by some of the sites I have seen, but they could be wrong.

You guys serious. No scrolling wallpaper with the 2.35 and Sense 3.0 update. What a stupid additional, or lack there of. Definitely will be staying on the current sense then.

Hmmm...the improvements gained from the update far outweigh the loss of the sideways scrolling wallpaper in my opinion.

+1

After updating I noticed the lack of scrolling wallpaper, I'd since forgotten about it untill I saw this thread. Horses for courses though, no big deal to me.

Could you indulged me please?

On One X the standard wallpapers that came pre-installed do scroll.

Cheers.

Excellent that they brought that back. I guess its standard with Sense 4.0?

The DHD isn't getting Sense 4.0 as far as I know so don't get too excited there bud.

Ya I know, it would be asking a bit much. But I wil just buy another HTC phone.

Except there's already a HTC One V Sense 4.0 port on XDA. The only things not working at this moment are the camera, wifi and usb tether, which is pretty amazing.

I don't get why would anyone buy a new phone just because it doesn't have Sense 4.0, but this way you can have it and keep your phone still.

My question is why it continues to crop the images for backgrounds as though the the image will stretch across all the home screens? I loved the scrolling, but the downside was that it made it hard to find good images for backgrounds that wouldn't be blown up funny or otherwise skewed. The benefit to not having the scrolling background anymore should be that I don't have to stretch images for my background anymore, but it still wants to do that. Very frustrating.
