My wife recently bought a 2014 Moto X and we're having some strange issues with Live Wallpapers.
If you have any stock Live Wallpaper set, and you open the camera and take a picture, then return to the home screen via the home button, the wallpaper is gone with a black background. Sometimes it will even change it to a stock static wallpaper. But it does it every time without fail. Static wallpapers are fine, this only affects live wallpapers.
Has anyone else noticed this issue? It's really vexing.

I can't seem to get the wallpaper to change on the lock screen on cm6. If i use a live wallpaper its no problem but any downloads from my SD i use i end up getting a stock wallpaper like the grass or the colorful light spec, one only on the lock screen not the launcher. Its pretty weird and i can't figure out how to change it. Any ideas?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
i am experiencing the same problem...
same here on the CM6R1 lock screen it has a green grass background. not the live wallpaper swaying grass, but a photo of grass. i dont see a place to change it.
If you're using a launcher like adw, that has happened to me before. To fix it, I cleared the defaults, and loaded into the default launcher, changed the wallpaper, changed it back, and it was fixed.
Then again, this is on cm6, and I'm not using cm so I wouldn't know. Just a tidbit.
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.
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.
Hey guys,
Absolutely loving this phone since I bought it. One problem I've found is that I can't get live wallpapers to work properly. I've tried using Nova Launcher, Action Launcher and the stock launcher, but I can't get live wallpapers to scroll properly. I tend to use KLWP a lot, but it seems stuck between multiple pages and won't scroll.
When using Nova Launcher, Force Scrolling doesn't help at all. I've tried setting the wallpaper as a static image, to a live wallpaper, back to the live wallpaper in every combination but I can't get any success.
I've tried installing the stock LiveWallpaperPicker.apk to no success.
I've tried enabling magnetic sensors in KLWP, but didn't notice any change.
Has anyone had a similar problem or found a solution?
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!
