Dont want my Z2 homescreen background to be static

[Dorfen]

Hi!

I recently reset my Z2 and now my homescreen background is static, I want it to move along with each screen. How can I make it "not-static"?

You can set the default xperia theme which will be kind of interactive.

It didnt work, I have used my polybox theme before and back then it worked

What's the resolution of the picture you want to use as wallpaper? If you use a picture that has the same resolution as the phones display, 1920x1080 it will not scroll. But if you use for example a picture taken with the camera it should scroll.

It worked with a picture taken by The camera, but can I make other Pictures scroll? Like The one I had recently

You need to crop the height on the picture when you select it as wallpaper in that case. When you select a picture, select the option "Crop" and then reduce the height.

I cant even choose Crop when I choose a picture to have as background. I can Crop it before I choose it but not The height only, The whole picture will Crop

I think you may have selected to always use Google photos to crop pictures instead of our app. Go to Settings -> Apps -> [menu] -> reset app preferences and when you then select a picture as wallpaper you should have "Crop" as an app to select.

It worked! Thanks!
