Same here, can't change lock screen wallpaper, got the star dust though.

The stardust effect only works when it's 'swipe' to unlock. Doesn't work with pin or pattern unlock.... Would've been really cool if they could integrate the pattern lock with the stardust effect.
I also can't change my lockscreen wallpaper no matter what I try. It's a good thing it's not an ugly wallpaper... But still really annoying!

Same here, cant change wallpaper, i tried a clean install but still this error.

Don't know what the problem is, I can change the lockscreen wallpaper fine whether I use a cropped photo or another wallpaper. I'm using the french update I received yesterday via SUS and I did a factory reset to be on the safe side

Yes same thing here can't change the profile picture from my contacts

I think we need to do a full wipe, as I did it on my Z Ultra. I got all features, changing of lock screen wallpaper, star dust, the Simple Home ect. Which did not happen on my Z1 after updating.

Try changing themes, which will alter the lock screen wallpaper and then try changing the lockscreen wallpaper.

Yea this is definitely a bug tried everything changing themes setting wallpaper from album and settings and etc and nothing seems to work

After update repair the phone.

Repairing will wipe all data. I tried reflashing with just unchecking wipe data, the lock screen is back to normal, lock wallpapers can be changed and star dust effects is back too!!
Its left with the simple home, still not available. Perheps really need a clean wipe.

did a clean installation thru SUS, no lockscreen bug, im on generic CANADA

So the question is answered, factory reset solves all the problem. Hope this would be useful for ppl keep saying abt the lock screen bug!!

[Q] i did something, lockscreen is gone?!

alright so i just got darky 9.3, great rom, love the newly added call recording feature.. uhm i dont know what i did to cause this, but for some reason my lockscreen seems to have completely dissapeared. it can lock to the screen off mode, but when i unlock it, i dont see any lockscreen, it just goes right back to my homescreen, or whatever app i had opened before i locked it
any ideas what might have caused this? or how i can fix this WITHOUT having to reflash the rom, and lose all my settings?
I don't know how you did it, but if playing with settings/display/unlock screen doesn't help, you can download one of the market apps for disabling lock screen and try to force lock screen on from there.

[Q] ICS Stock Wallpaper Glitch, PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
When i upgraded my phone to ICS, it used to set wallpapers as i crop them (at any size, any length or width) and it also appeared exactly the same size on home screen as i crop it. But now for some reason, that i dont know, it has stopped doing that and use the same method as before i.e. predefined length-width + zoomed wallpaper on home screen.
Is there any option or a method to revert back it to setting custom sized wallpaper?
Please i dont want any 3rd software to do this because i believe there must be some genuine way to solve this problem as once i restarted my phone and i got the desired wallpaper cropping settings. But now it restarting phone also doesnt help.
Please help me for this. My phone is not rooted yet. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

Yes bro, i already have Wallpaper Wizardrii installed but when there is a default cropping option so i don't really want any software to do this for me. i know there must be some way to get back ICS built in cropping settings but cant figure out how? Thanks again Bro

Yeah i know. I don't like to use any other software then the built-in one. But in that case you can just flash some other rom or re-install the ICS stock one.....

Lollipop notifications appearing on my lockscreen!

Hi all

go to settings, then set lock screen security to NONE. it should eliminate the problem.. having a lockscreen app only covers the stock lock screen, it does not "take over", unless you set security to none.

Maybe your magazine unlock is paused. When your phone is locked try to swipe up from bottom of the display. There you will get resume/pause(||) option. Resume it. Let's us know if issue still persists.

Currently having the same problem as the OP. One moment it was working fine, and now it doesn't work at all. I have the magazine unlock setting on and ticked all the boxes and when I lock my phone it just shows the home screen wallpaper. I've checked the settings on the lock screen itself, there is a lock icon but when I press on it nothing happens. If I add my own images into the magazine unlock folder, they work fine and like the magazine unlock feature should work, but I really enjoyed seeing the random photos that would appear before. I honestly can not find a fix for this and I don't really want to factory reset my phone, so would really appreciate if someone has a work around for this.
Found the answer

You need to unlock your lockscreen wallpaper
Now, go to you lockscreen then swipe up from bottom
There are several settings there..
Press the locked icon
And you can change the time or another setting for your lockscreen wallpaper
So you can have your random magazine again..
Hope it helps you
I tried going through your steps DTsPro but sadly it wouldn't work. Like I said if I add my own pictures to the magazine unlock feature it works no problem and I can use the swipe up unlock/lock feature on the lock screen with those images, the moment I delete them and try to use the built in magazine unlock images, I just get a static image and I'm unable to select any of the icons on the lock screen settings however it says on wallpapers and themes that magazine unlock is selected... It is a very weird and somewhat annoying problem that I just can't seem to find a solution for, but thank you for at least trying to help
Same as me p20 I have problem as well. Magazine unlock, whatever I do it doesn't work at all. Any help plz
On lock screen swipe from bottom of screen. It will show couple of options. Don't let screen unlocked with face recognition or fingerprint. These options appears on the lock screen when you swipe from the bottom of screen on locked screen. There is a lock icon on these option, tap on it and unlock it. It will show message that screen will change everytime. Try these options with cool mind. I was not able to figure it out for weeks. But now I have and it work like charm.
simple solution as it might sound, but change your theme and keep going through the process untill it shows the pop-up msg asking you if you want to keep or discard Magazine unlock and choose to keep, Voiala it goes back again.

Question Lockscreen problem after miui 12.5 update.

Recently updated my redmi 9t with the new miui 12.5. After that i'm unable to unlock screen with fingerprint when using downloaded theme. It works if i use stock theme. Anyone knows how to somehow fix this. Your help is highly appreciated.
Hi,
I have the same problem. I didn't downloaded any theme or pictures, anything, all is in default, and still get that msg.
What is stock theme? After upgrade I got some picture on lock screen with snow and mountains.
Hi severac, stock theme is the standard theme (classic theme). I have tried to clear cache and memory for the theme app. The problem is still there.
Another problem i have is whenever i tried to change wallpaper for downloaded theme lockscreen it will change to the standard theme lockscreen.
Are you able to unlock screen with your fingerprint somehow?
After the new theme app update, unlock with fingerprint not working anymore. Even on standard theme. Uninstalling the update doesn't help either. Hope they fix this in the upcoming update.
Hmm, I managed to unlock my screen with finger. I can unlock it when screen is turned off by itself, for example, after 2 minutes. Then if I put my finger it unlock the phone. But, If I lock my screen with some app, like tap to lock, one touch to lock or similar, it doesn't unlock it with fingerprint after that.
Mine works only if the screen turned off with an app opened. Deleting and readding the finger print doesn't do anything.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Guys, how did you get passed the lockscreen? my note 8T updated, and now I cannot get passed the lockscreen, I never set a password, only a pin and fingerscan. All it's asking for is a password.
Help. I do not want to wipe data etc
