[Q] Change wallapaper on homescreen and lock screen simultaneously - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Stupid question, I have been forced to use a lockscreen on my Z3C for security purposes, however i would like when i change my wallpaper for my homescreen and lockscreen to change simultaneously.
I know on iOS devices, when you apply a wallpaper you get the option for home, lockscreen or both.
Is there a way of doing this on the Z3C that im just not seeing or did sony/android just omit this feature entirely?

Settings-personalization--wallpaper for home screen.
Settings-personalization--lock screen for lock screen.
or
from a picture you hit the 3 dots on up right corner and use as.
the option like iOS i think there isn't,you just have to make the same thing twice

thanks punkyd but i know those methods, i just wanted a method to do both at once.

This has been bugging me as well

Lockscreen Problems

Hi Guys having had Samsungs for a while I am a little out of touch with sense and need some help. I have setup a pattern unlock because I need some security however because of this if I press the power button it shows me the shortcuts for quick unlock and then I have to put my pattern in.
On my old note 2 I could press the power button and it would allow to enter my pattern straight away I don't want to have two screens, I then turned off the lockscreen which means it just comes up with plain black screen and my pattern to unlock - problem solved or so I thought.
That was untill I enabled lock screen controls on poweramp which will now not work unless I have a lockscreen setup but that means two screens to unlock. All I want is to go straight to my pattern and be able to change tracks when locked. It can be done because the TV remote does this can anyone help me please.

You need to go to settings and change your luck screen to none. It will work then pattern only.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Yes I have done that but then the mp3 controls will not work with poweramp and it presents a plain black screen which I can live with but would ideally like a separate wallpaper and I need the controls
Can Anyone help me with this

Multiple screens with no scrolling

Hi everyone! How can I make three screens with no scrolling, that is I can't swipe between screens but can select the screen by pinching in and selecting the screen. I need this because I am trying to make a screen where it has shortcuts to go to the next screen. So I want to restrict swiping between screens and only use those shortcuts. Any help is greatly appreciated.:laugh:
Use SSlaucher

Try SSlauncher.
I had exactly what you described on my Galaxy S in it worked perfectly. My screens were set up similar to an old telephone address book. On the right hand side of every one of the 9 screens I had were the numbers 1-9. I was the "home" screen. Under the numbers, that went from the bottom to the top of the screen were short description on what was of that screen. Things like "Home", "Office", "Daily", "Games", "Photo"
It was a joy to use and looked very cool with a smooth transition from screen to screen called "Flow".
One of the nicest things -apart from not having to swipe all the time- was that from the "Home" screen to screen 9 did not mean that 8 other screens had to fly past. The next screed regardless of the number always appeared to be the next screen!
SSlauncher also allows you to switch of "swiping" and even have a different background on each screen.
One warning. Do not be put off buy the developers terrible examples on the Play Store or the learning curve. Go to www.mycolorscreen.? for inspiration.
Don't hesitate to pm for help if you need it.

Set different lock and home screen wallpaper?

Hi,
Running CM14.1 and I wonder how to set a different lock screen wallpaper than the home screen wallpaper - any one know how to do it?
Thanks
Wrong subforum, and the mods will move the thread shortly. In the wallpaper picker, tap on the picture you wish to use, press the check mark, and you should receive a prompt with the following three options: Home screen, Lock Screen, or Both. If that doesn't work, then it won't surprise me, as Cyanogenmod likes to not test their additions before releasing a ROM.

Anyway to configure the hard press home button area to turn off display?

I used to have double tab nav bar to turn off display on my previous Pixel and Nexus phones (rooted of course) but don't have a nice way to configure it here.
I ended up downloading Custom Navigation Bar (app) to add two buttons to the side but they're for "menu" and "search".
If there isn't a way to configure the hard press I'll just change one of the above to do it, but I like having those two options as well on the lower part of the phone.
This is perhaps not what you want, but I'm using Nova launcher and I set it to lock the phone at a double tap. Of course, this doesn't work if you're in another app, but I go to Home anyway before I lock the phone.

yeah i'd like to have something that can be used from anywhere. also nova's screen lock feature hard locks the phone, requiring a pin/pattern unlock (not the face/finger print unlock). i have my bixby button remapped to do this, just for that super rare occassion when i'm someplace and need my phone locked immediately.

UMEI 9 Upgrade - lock screen launchers

Upgraded to UMEI 9 the other day (and still don't like it) - have they removed the quick launch camera option from the lock screen totally? I think you could just swipe up from the bottom right corner before on the lock screen? Any tips would be helpful.
Also, the volume buttons suck now! Mine seem to default to the media volume and not the actual ringtone. Hoping it's just me being an idiot and missing an obvious setting change. Thanks!
