Okay, I've looked everywhere for an answer and just can't find one that works.
I can't change my lockscreen wallpaper. I've tried various programs but what it all comes down to is the Stock Gallery (which actually does all the cropping.) force closes when it tries to load up.
<--- See the post count? I've been around the block. I've tried the OBVIOUS methods. I've tried a few not-so-obvious ones. So no stupid questions like "Did you go to settings?"
Currently running RocketRom ICS.
Can't go Settings -> Display -> Wallpapers -> Lockscreen. FC on gallery.
Cant go Gallery -> Set As -> Lockscreen Wallpaper. FC on gallery.
Already replaced Gallery3D.apk and GalleryGoogle.apk from a stock rom.
Noticed TwWallpaperChooser.apk wasn't in there, added it. Still FC on gallery.
I CAN change my home wallpaper.
I CAN open gallery normally.
It's something to do with the actual cropping of the image.
Anyone? Ideas?
Rocket ROM is based on the LP1 ICS leak. even in other Custom ROM also not possible to Change Lock screen. Only way i did, installed "Go Locker" .
See, I thought maybe it was a leak thing... but I remember being able to change it when I first got onto the leak.
I don't want a lock-screen replacement, that's for sure. Oh well - anyone else, any bright ideas?
I have the exact same problem after my 4.0.3 ICS update today. Has anyone found any solution???

Even I'm facing this problem, I'm on Stock ICS (India), I have just rooted my Android, using Dr. Ketan's Method, nothing else changes with ROM, but facing this problem
To change the lock screen wallpaper, first apply a live wallpaper. After that, any normal wallpaper will be set as a lock screen wallpaper too.
Don't forget to hit the "thanks" button.

This device continues to frustrate and confound me at every turn. I have tried many times to change the dreadful lock screen wallpaper and it just refuses to change it? I have tried both Go Launcher and the stock TW Launcher to no avail. I cannot wait for people to develop some better ROM for this thing. I think it really wants to be a great device but Samsung & AT& T just don't want us to be happy with it I guess.
settings>screen>screen display>lockscreen>wallpaper
I have done that multiple times still the stock bluish lock screen remains???

Might be a dumb question.....Did you click on OK in the top right corner after resizing the picture?
Did you try widget locker?

Dude, take a deep breath.
Go into Settings/Display/Screen. Do you see where you can change the font and homescreen wallpaper? On that same sub-menu there's another area for lockscreen wallpaper. Click it, it'll take you to the wallpaper cropper. Once you've cropped the image in the wallpaper cropper, be sure to hit OK in the upper right of the screen to save and set.
Alternatively, go into Gallery, find a picture you like, open the menu, it'll give you the option to set as either a homescreen or lockscreen wallpaper, then go through the standard crop process.
Lockscreen Wallpaper is NOT handled by the launcher code, it's an OS level action, FYI.

Croak,
I am by no means an expert but I have been messing with this stuff for a while and I have tried everything including what you mentioned. It does not change no matter what I try. It isn't the biggest deal in the world but I would like to be able to change that ugly lock screen background.
If you've done what I said, and it doesn't work, then something is borked on YOUR SPECIFIC UNIT. Lockscreen wallpaper changing is **** easy in Honeycomb, and it worked fine on both my Tab 8.9 LTE units, Bell and AT&T, both before and after flashing/rooting/overclocking.
If it really bothers you, backup and then factory reset, and if that doesn't help, move on to a reflash of the AT&T firmware. Guarantee that one or the other will solve your problem.
I take it you ARE seeing the option to change in Settings and in Gallery? If so, I suspect it's a permissions issue, and could be an artifact of the ADB fun you had when rooting and overclocking.
Can you fix permissions through adb?

You can, but we have no idea what exactly is fracked, hence the nuclear factory reset option. It's the only way to be sure.
I did a factory reset and can now change the wallpaper. But I lost root and everything else is setup previously what a PIA! Oh well guess I have to re-rooted and start over. On a good note the market seems to work better now was having issues with it loading slow and hanging.

Shouldn't have to re-root, just download SuperUser from the Market.

Yea factory reset shouldn't change the kernel

Well it completely wiped everything. I did the factory reset from the UI not from recovery. No biggie I just reconfigured it from scratch. I found the problem was Quickpic which I like much better than the OEM gallery. But when I set Quickpic to default image handler it borked the lock screen wallpaper option. Once I cleared the defaults and used the gallery I was able to change the wallpaper no problem. Weird issue but I have learned that with Android nothing is surprising.
Hello,
Has anyone experienced a problem trying to set a wallpaper in portrait orientation from QuickPic? In my case, if I browse the gallery in QuickPic, find the picture and try to use the HTC Gallery (Sense 5.5, Android Revolution HD 53), it simply doesn't open. If I try to use QuickPic itself, it only allows me to crop using a fixed landscape cropper.
Please give me some ideas how to get rid of this annoyance.
Thanks!

Yeah. I get the same thing. Unfortunately I think it's an issue with QuickPic. I think its default is to assume that the homescreen is to use scrollable wallpaper, so when you swiped through your different homescreens the wallpaper would shift along with it. That's how it was on my previous phone (HTC Inspire). And it's not actually setting it to landscape by rotating the dimensions. It's setting the width at 2x the screen size. The screen dimension of my Inspire was 480x800. If I wanted to use scrollable wallpaper, I would choose an image 960x800.
Since the m7 doesn't use scrollable wallpaper in the stock launcher (and I don't think there's an option to turn that on, but I could be wrong), QuickPic kinda screws that up. So it's better to use the stock Gallery app to set wallpaper. It will set the correct aspect ratio with the crop tool. Open the Gallery app, find the pic you want to use then set as Wallpaper (not QuickPic Wallpaper). Or you can go into System Settings>Personalize>Wallpaper, Select Wallpaper from Gallery.
On a related note, some 3rd party launchers allow you to set the wallpaper to be a single screen or scrollable. I use Go Launcher and if I have it set to single screen, I can use QuickPic to set the wallpaper and it sets the crop tool with the proper portrait aspect ratio.
Thanks, sharksfan7! I figured it might be something of the sort. I'll send a note to the QuickPic developer, maybe he/she will be able to sort this in a future update.

However, that brings me to my second question: the stock Gallery app does not open if I browse to the pic in QuickPic and try to set it as a "Wallpaper". Any idea what might be causing this? Anyone?

Noticed that as well. Again, probably a QuickPic issue. If you have Google+ installed you'll probably see a "Wallpaper" option using Google Pictures in that Set As list as well. If I select that, the whole thing just crashes.
If you go directly into the Gallery when you want to set wallpaper it works as it's supposed to.

Strangely after reading this, I went to QuickPic to have another go at setting a wallpaper and the 'crop box' was in portrait mode! Either coincidental or random update or I just chose the right picture!!
Using Alliance v8 on a g900a. Upgraded to 5.0 using muniz 's method.
After the install everything has run great for several months... Until today.
I was messing around with my theme and somehow got my wallpaper stuck.
I've tried changing the wallpaper directly from the homescreen, from the android settings menu, and the alliance control app settings, but nothing I do has any effect. I am however able to change my lockscreen and sview wallpaper with no problem.
I hate this stock wallpaper and I put a lot of time and effort onto theming my phone so this is driving me crazy. Any ideas?
include screeners of my settings menu, and of the alliance control screen if that helps:
1st pic - the horrible wallpaper I hate
2nd - the wallpaper I want trying to be set through settings
3rd- my alliance control settings page incase I have something set wrong here
*edit - btw, i have made sure to restart phone between changes just to make sure. Didn't help
I seem to have an issue with my lockscreen wallpaper on my Huawei P20 Pro. No matter what I do it keeps reverting to stock within a few hours... And yes I have looked in themes and display settings and random wallpaper change is switched off.

I have noticed the same issue... I have turn off all stock lockscreen wallpapers and put my wallpapers (about 50) and after soome time it start play stock wallpapers again.
I remember in Mate 10 (or Mate 9} I could delete all stock wallpapers and only keep mine but I can't find a way to do it

I have try to delete stock wallpapers and seems to work for now but I need more time to check... You can check your own. First of all check that you have not select any stock Huawei wallpaper
Then go to lockscreen and see the first wallpaper.. scroll your finger from bottom, up to see shortcuts and scrolling photos press the "circle with the X button to delete it... Continue this until you delete all unwanted stock wallpapers. I hope that this will do the job.
1. Deselect all covers in the lockscreen settings
2. Select your picture in a gallery app, set as wallpaper, choose lockscreen only. Done

i did this , and it doesnt. omg.
delete all photos from the magazine unlock folder in the huawei folder - then check you have updates turned off for the magainze, etc - you can also pause the screens by swiping up when locked to get the mini bar for torch, calculator, etc - just press the pause button
mine has never updated since i done all this and can change lockscreeen or desktop picture when ever i want
I have the same problem except I can never display my images as covers in the locks reen. All other covers are unchecked and can't be deleted. I have read somewhere that you should deactivate and reactivate locks reen pw but it doesn't help for me.
I am not having this problem. Strange behaviour for some phones it seems.

well... yesterday somehow it started to work, after testing other themes, I reverted to the magazine lock screen and it worked... until this morning when stock started to show again... the only thing I did was to add the face recognition...
so there is smth not working correctly here... any one knows if there is a place where to report bugs at Huawei ? or is it useless to try ?
Title says it. I have a nice Nova Launcher setup on my S21 Ultra (TMobile), but every so often I would see a "Wallpaper applied successfully" while using an app and when I go back to the homescreen, my wallpaper changes to something else. The image doesn't even look like it's on my phone. I don't understand why it's doing this and I don't know how to stop it.
The dark themed image is what my display is intended to look, the other is what it'll change to. I thought Zedge was the culprit but no. I thought Samsung's wallpaper setting, doesn't seem to be that either. Any help would be appreciated. I'm willing to even factory reset my device
.
Do you have any other wallpaper apps installed? What makes you think it is Nova launcher applying the screen?
You might get logcat set up, and if you can make it reset the wallpaper, the log should tell you what is doing the reset.
I don't have that problem and I use nova launcher. I have a different wallpaper for the lock screen and another for the regular home screen
@GeekasaurusWrex what types of widgets are you using? I really like your setup.
I was using live wallpapers from Wallop and was having the same issue! But switched to a downloaded image and it hasn't happen since. I think it might be an all setting the wallpaper being the issue. Try to download it from the app and then let nova set it
