Is this doable?
Not talking about separate wallpapers, but separate live wallpapers for each screen.
and while we're at it, can there also be a separate live wallpaper for the lock screen, different from the one on the main screen?
highly unlikely due to the background being a single image and the screens moving on top of this
Would like to have that too, but i doubt that any launcher will support it.
I automatically change my LWP with Tasker+Easy Profiles+Root when music is playing.
But unfortunately scrolling through homescreens can't trigger any task...
Besides, the change/transition would most likely be laggy. Some LWPs even have a loading screen before they launch.

Is it possible to have the wallpaper fixed so its the same on all home screens rather than scrolling along it as home screens change?
Guess the lack of reply means it can't be done (either that or I haven't searched hard enough)
Hello and Happy New Year.
I have recently wanted to try using a live wallpaper on my GT-N7000 running 4.1.2 and Touchwiz (I am on Philz kernel if that matters)...
I note that when I use the settings page for Display | Wallpaper there are 3 choices: Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Both. If I tap Home Screen choice, I get 3 options: Gallery, Live Wallpapers, and (non-live) Wallpapers. I get the same 3 options if I tap the Both screens choice. But when I tap Lock Screen only choice, I do not get the option for Live Wallpapers - only Gallery and (non-live) Wallpapers.
So it seems I can have a live wallpaper on the Home Screen only or on both Home and Lock Screens simultaneously. Of course, what I want is not available here. I want a static wallpaper on my home screens and a live wallpaper on the lock screen. Seems like I can't get there from here.
So is there a way to get the setup I want? Thanks.
a year later, i share your same frustration. i even tried setting the live for "both" and then just setting something else for "home". that caused the lock screen to revert to a default non-live wallpaper.
how dumb.
I've been looking around a lot but can't find anything.
Any suggestions?
I love the minimalistic look of S8/N8 animated wallpapers, however the problem with them is that they can only be applied to both lock and home screen. You can't choose only one (at least I couldn't find that option). Applying infinity wallpaper on both and then a separate lock screen only wallpaper would break the infinity wallpaper on home screen.
Hit me up with some minimalistic live wallpapers
Don't need to be too flashy and I'm fond of blue-ish colors.
I dont know if it is what you are looking for but I sometimes use one called black live wallpaper, from the playstore
It's not bad but it's basically just parallax with sparkling effects and not really what I'm looking for.
I found an app called simply Motion by maxelus.net on Play Store. It's paid but one of the most beautiful live wallpapers I've seen and very much like Samsungs infinity stuff.
Some of you may be familiar with my typical home screen layout and custom wallpapers that I make on my PC. Well, I'm now experiencing issues with applying wallpapers to my home screen. Everything is slightly off, and not aligned properly. It appears that the phone is "zooming in" the wallpaper as it sets. Like, I'll have a border separating the notification bar area and my home screen but when applying the wallpaper that border is moved further up into the notification area. Like I said, the wallpaper seems to be "zooming in" as I set the wallpaper to my home screen.
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime. 12x12 grid. No dock.
I tried using Apex Launcher and ran into the exact same issue.
I've restarted the launcher. Restarted the phone. Used different photo apps to apply the wallpaper to the home screen. Nothing has fixed this. I'm not sure what else to try. If anyone here has any idea on why wallpapers are distorted (zoomed in a bit) as I apply them to my home screen, please help. Thanks!
ETA: Added two screen shots with a specific wallpaper that I found online to help show you what I'm talking about. When I see the preview of what setting the wallpaper will look like, it doesn't apply that way after setting the wallpaper.
Sweet, baby Jesus! I found the solution!
Please let this be a PSA for everyone who may run into this issue. The culprit was that stupid "Motion Effect" option while using the One UI launcher. You have to make sure when switching back to it from a third party launcher like Nova that you choose the "always" option so that it's your default launcher (stock launcher). Then when you do that and choose to apply a wallpaper, you'll see the "Motion Effect" option right under the image. Uncheck that stupid thing and your wallpapers will not longer "zoom in" like they did before.
Now, everything is lined up as it should!
Is it possible for google music to show an album art cover as a background on the lock screen as it did on my previous phone (the old nexus 5x)?
Also, is there a way to change lock screen wallpaper? On my previous phone I had the app called APOD and it changed my wallpaper for both home and lock screens daily. On my Mi T9 Pro it can only change a wallpaper on the home screen. I also can't change lock screen wallpaper manually... I can only choose a wallpaper from theme app. Is it possible to fix?
Thanks!
umm, you can change wallpaper under settings>wallpaper choose the first option, select the pic, and apply to lockscreen only
or use a custom launcher? (nova FTW)
also, you can use retro music player, I think that allows an overlay, but music isn't much of a priority for me, so IDK
Miui is kinda broken when it comes to wallpapers. You can only set the lock screen wallpaper in settings and not in for e.g. google photos or a 3rd party wallpapers app. However you can change the home screen wallpaper from anywhere. Kinda stupid
