how can I change the appscreen wallpaper. It's black in default and I wonder if i can change it with a photo like in iOS 4.x.
Do you mean your wallpaper? Or the background for your app drawer? For the app drawer, it depends on your phone/rom or if you're using a home replacement.
For your home screen wallpaper, you should be able to hit menu from your home screen and select wallpaper from there. You can also go into your gallery, find the photo you want as your wallpaper, and press and hold on the photo for about a second. Select "Set as" or "Set as wallpaper" from the options shown.

Hi all, I'm using Launcher Pro and for the life of me I can not figure out how to change the wallpaper while in landscape. Is it possible?
Thanks!
the same way you change it in portrait:
long press on an empty space on the homescreen or hit the menu button and press wallpaper
Err...
What I'm trying to do is to have different wallpapers in portrait and in landscape
Is it possible?
No as far as I know, there is no way to have different wallpapers for landscape and vice versa.

I haven't tried it myself (just did a quick Google search), but it looks like there's an app called "Dual Wallpaper" that allows you to do this:

Is there any way for me to set my own wallpaper for my homescreen and lockscreen without using ICS's crappy cropping tool?
I know there's an app for your homescreen, but when it comes to lockscreen I can only go into the Themes app and set it from there. Even then, it is majorly zoomed in and blurry.
If it still like GB MIUI, go to lockscreen wallpaper in themes app and hit menu button, choose from gallery and there bam!

OK, now it won't even show a crop tool. It just automatically does whatever it wants for the lockscreen wallpaper. When I try to change my homescreen wallpaper through this method it still uses ICS cropping.
Try the free app QuickPic- when you go to set your wallpaper, it should come up as an option alongside Gallery or whatever. It has its own cropping tool and recognizes your setting for wallpaper, i.e. non-scrolling (fixed) or scrolling (scaled across homescreens) and allows you to crop accordingly.
edit: I am on an AOKP-based ROM and the lockscreen option lets you choose which cropping tool to use- not sure if your ROM will allow this...
Hi..
Anyone know how to change the background wallpaper on Nova or any launcher for that matter. Any time I attempt to do it through external apps or a gallery app it fails.
+1....I have this question also. So far the only way I can get a new background is to use a 3rd party app.

Here's what I have found to change the wallpaper (for ADW Launcher EX) but I believe it should work for any launcher:
You need to have ES File Explorer, and Wallpaper Changer (both are free and available in Google Play)
Launch ES File Explorer
navigate to folder containing wallpaper
(image thumbnails are displayed) tap on an image
("Complete action using:" dialog should appear) tap on "ES Image Browser"
(image is displayed) tap on the handle to display softkeys
tap on "menu" button
tap on "Set Wallpaper"
I'm using kindle wallpaper change from the play store.

That worked, great. Thank you.

did not work
I tried that and did not work.... help??? thanks!
Download "Gallery ISC" from playstore.
Return on your launcher
Long press
Wallpaper
And choice Gallerie ICS for beatiful and full screen wallpaper
For live wallpaper :
Download LiveWallpapersPicker
Paste the apk in "/system/app/"
Wait 30s, return to your launcher
Long press
Wallpaper
And choice Live Wallpaper
LiveWallpaperPickers does not work
Live Wallpaper does not have a selection to choose a live wallpaper. Is there a certain version that will allow that?

I'm on Slim Bean 4.2.2 with ADW Launcher EX 1.3.3.7, not finding a way to set a picture for lock screen. Tried launching the Gallery app, clicking on the picture, set as, does not give an option for home screen or lock screen, automatically sets it as home screen wallpaper. Not possible or just me?

I am using google launcher and when I try and change my background it does not change the lockscreen background too.
When I go to change the lockscreen background in settings it does not offer the same options to choose from as my normal background...
Not Sure why you are posting this in the Galaxy S6 forum since the question is about Google Launcher. It's not a Galaxy s6 question but, a Google questions.
However, it's been a while since I used Google's Launcher. But, when you choose a wallpaper, it should ask if you want to use it for either the Home Screen / Lock Screen or both.

Easiest way to take care of that is to go to your gallery app or whatever you use to view the image, select "More" in the upper corner, then "Set as wallpaper", then select "Home AND Lock Screen". Profit.

i use the google now launcher too, and i have no problems with this. after you choose wallpapers in the home screen. slide all the way to the right and choose wallpapers again, there you can choose where you want to change your wallpaper, home screen, lockscreen or both.
