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.

Does anybody know of a lock screen app that supports live wallpapers? but does not change the Home screen.
I am using LauncherPro for my home screen but i would like to have live wallpaper for my lock screen, and unfortunately lockbot pro (which i think is the best lock screen app) does not support live wallpapers.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sure, download the no lock app and go directly to your home screen live wallpaper instead of having to unlock
WidgetLocker, which is an awesome lock replacement (you can add 4x4 of widgets to the screen, several different variations of lock styles, plus it is much more robust than some other solutions, particularly FlyScreen) does apparently show a live wallpaper, just tried it here.
Hi,
Currently using a HTC desire on cyanogen. I'm using 3 home screens with Launcher pro plus. since i have 3 screens the wallpaper will shift depending on which screen i am on. For example if i'm on my most left screen, the screen will focus on the left on the wallpaper. if i'm on the middle , the focus will be on the middle of the wallpaper. and so on..
my question is, how come when i'm at my lockscreen, the focus is on the right portion of my wallpaper even if i turned my screen off on the center home screen?
i've tried switching wallpapers and that doesnt seem to work.
i had the same problem but it was fixed after applying the wallpaper again
Same thing on Samsung Captivate also w/ LauncherPro (free)
Has anyone found a viable solution for this? Reapplying the wallpaper doesn't resolve this. Rebooting works but a more elegant solution would be nice. Not even sure how it shifted to begin with.
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
Hello all, I have a G973F that I rooted and deleted a bunch of crap off of. My lock screen wallpaper is black. Still has the clock and the quick launch icons. But when I try to change the wallpaper to an image nothing works. Is it possible I deleted something related to the live wallpapers or something like that?
If so what should I look for to re-install.
My home screen wallpaper is working fine.
Thanks
Hello Chris33333, do vice versa your bull**** removed if possible as you are master on your phone.
You explain your removed animation, screen background in developer or in parameter.
How do I know what to put back on the phone>? When I pinch the home screen there is no longer a "wallpaper" icon to select.
Hello Chris33333, you pinch the screen, I press the screen to be able to add an application or others.
you put yourself on home is press 3 to 4 seconds you will have wallpaper, style, themes widgets and parameter.
