I originally had a GS5 and with nova launcher, I was able to scroll the wallpapers I downloaded from zedge. (The wallpapers are wider than the phone.)

Now with my new GS7, I can't get scrolling wallpapers. Even with nova launcher, zedge just shows me static wallpapers. (Wallpapers are NOT wider than the phone)

How can I get wider wallpapers that will let me scroll when flipping screens on the GS7?

I think they're doing you a service. Scrolling wallpaper and using 3rd party launchers tend to create lag, slow down the phone and eat up memory. Samsung's memory management is bad enough as it is I don't think they'd want to make it worse.

I have no idea what zedge is but I have no problems getting my wallpaper to scroll with Nova and an S7 Edge.

I had an issue with scrolling wall papers on my Note 4 whereas they scrolled fine on my s4

Turns out I had to make sure the wall papers were at least the resolution of the screen in order for it to scroll in my case.

Problem is probably with the wallpapers from zedge, can you test it with a picture add yourself?
I'm using a S7 with nova and its scrolling fine.
