hello everyone Michael here from the daily note 2 youtube channel and welcome
to another version of galaxy note 2 tips and tricks episode nineteen
now i'm sure you've all remember having scrolling wallpaper on previous android
versions before you got the galaxy note 2 if you had a galaxy device anyway
but for some reason they removed it out of a gingerbread
at the later versions and we haven't seen it on ics or jelly bean
so i'll tell you how to get it back
two different ways first way is to use
an app called landscape wallpaper so just find the app the market
called landscape wallpaper
install it and then open it
and when you open it set
your wallpaper image just I'm just going to set it
to a picture that i have in my phone
but i downloaded the quill
wallpaper just
doing a little bit of googling and i put it on my phone
because I like the picture of the quill and i made sure it's using all of the image
and then I click okay
and then next step is to start live wallpaper
and you could see that landscape wallpaper the app that we downloaded is in the list of
wallpapers now so i just select that
then the last step is to hit
set wallpaper
after that hit the home button
and you could see that the wallpaper
is moving once again and it is definitely nice to see but i'll show you
that it's not the same
I moved all the way to the right
but it stops moving once we get to the end of the image but you could go back
the other way
and you could see that
it moves all the way until it gets to the end of the image once again
so it doesn't work exactly the same but it works almost as good
i'll show you another way you could get it
you could get it through
you could get it through an app
or third party launcher
for example
your home screen here this home screen has a name is called touch
wiz and it is provided by samsung but you could run
other
other loanchers that are in the google play store
so search for the word nova and then you'll see this app called nova
launcher just install it and then open it
okay after you open it you might need some set up you'll see that all the
icons that you have on the
touch wiz home screen
is not there and there will be in import features so i just didn't import
they copied on my icons but i didn't copy all my widgets so i had to
put all my widgets back in place and one thing i'll show you so we are in nova
right now i'm going to hit the home button and go back to touch wiz
and you could see that one thing that doesn't make it
is this
weather widget and this clock
so i'm going to go back to nova launcher
you could see i had to find
a widget by myself i just found
a HD widget it's another app availible in the market
but I found another app that kind of looks similar to it
it gives me more of the weather but
not the clock so i guess it's the fair trade
one other thing that you might notice is that the application
monitor i did an episode yesterday
talking about the
greate properties of the application monitor
you'll see that the
application monitor just updates a little bit more slower in nova launcher
you might cost some false alarms in my report that an app is
having trouble and this turns red you go into it and you'll
see a lot of times it
there is no problem inside
so just wanting to keep
keep in mind
okay and
it's still using that
it's still using that
scrolling wallpaper that we set but
actually you could set the wallpaper to
what we get
straight off the device
and then
you could get the official
wallpaper and it snaps back you could see that
cool behind it
once we
reach the end of the image it actually snaps back to begin
one additional good thing about the nova launcher is that it does have landscape
mode and it works
actually better
than the landscape mode the unofficial landscape mode that you could force
touch wiz into.. it works better because as you can see we're in the nova launcher
and then
and there's no flickering of icons and an application there's no
icons on the bottom that you cannot access it all works well
so those are the good things but
there are some drawbacks as i told you
these two apps
don't work exactly the same or this was not available
another thing that you won't see happen is you won't see anything like
page buddy
I pulled out the S pen but you can see the page buddy page didn't pop up
and if you
are not sure what page buddy is I'll show you what page buddy is so we're back
at touch wiz
page buddy is this we pull out the S pen and we get this page
okay you might have noticed the same effect when you answered a headphone
but when we are in the nova launcher
we're in the novel launcher
the page buddy page doesn't pop up but
everything else pretty much works the same you could double tap to
to do a pop-up note you could crop images there
so everything works the same accept the page buddy isn't there
instead of page buddy you could probably just hit the S note app and
you get something like it and it works pretty well
so that's the end of this episode i hope you got something out of
it
