Change Lockscreen Wallpaper - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to change the Lockscreen wallpaper? I downloaded widget locker but it keeps force closing when I try to change the wallpaper from there. Also is there a way to make led notifications when there's a text or email without root?

Do you have to be rooted to use that

Should off specified that but yes root is required.

I am using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. No root is required. It changes normal wallpaper and lockscreen wallpaper and can also be set to rotate photos from several directories.

I tried it and it didn't quite work out for me : (

Did you Google search a modded stock launcher with this feature? If you know how you can use apktool to decompile the apk (don't know what the edit would be) then recompile and side load it to your device.

I have nova installed

And I downloaded widget locker but it keeps force closing

I think Widget locker hasn't been updated for a good while so more likely it's not supporting newer versions of Android.

I downloaded go locker and its working really well. Are there any others that anyone might suggest that doesn't have as many ads

Thanks! This really works!

This confused me too at first, as I switched to a custom launcher.
If you choose your wallpaper from the google now launcher thumbnail in wallpaper settings, you'll have the option to apply to homescreen, lockscreen, or both.

press menu on homescreen and there will be an option for pics, or you can goto gallery and change the wallpaper after selecting an image.

that changes all the wallpapers at once. I was wondering if you can change the wallpaper on only the lockscreen and the default one will be on home

Unfortunatly you are running a CM based rom so there is no way to change your lockscreen wallpaper. Because there really isnt one. It dims your homescreen when locked and thats it. If you want a lockscreen wallpaper you will need to switch to a rom that allows it.
okay guys. thanks for your help

This is a live wallpaper which is displaying a static image and can show different images for lock screen and so on.

so is there not just a simple way to do it from the phone without the need to install another app?
seems very strange
It really depend on the framework implementation. Samsung and sony are allowing different wallpapers ... motorola and google vanilla don't.

My phone only has two options there. Gallery and Xperia wallpapers.
I want to set transparent or null the lockscreen wallpaper and see the homescreen wallpaper in the lockscreen.

It's a good alternative. Although I wanted to use the stock lockscreen, with the widgets.

Lockscreen wallpaper keeps reverting to stock

I seem to have an issue with my lockscreen wallpaper on my Huawei P20 Pro. No matter what I do it keeps reverting to stock within a few hours... And yes I have looked in themes and display settings and random wallpaper change is switched off.

I have noticed the same issue... I have turn off all stock lockscreen wallpapers and put my wallpapers (about 50) and after soome time it start play stock wallpapers again.
I remember in Mate 10 (or Mate 9} I could delete all stock wallpapers and only keep mine but I can't find a way to do it

I have try to delete stock wallpapers and seems to work for now but I need more time to check... You can check your own. First of all check that you have not select any stock Huawei wallpaper
Then go to lockscreen and see the first wallpaper.. scroll your finger from bottom, up to see shortcuts and scrolling photos press the "circle with the X button to delete it... Continue this until you delete all unwanted stock wallpapers. I hope that this will do the job.
1. Deselect all covers in the lockscreen settings
2. Select your picture in a gallery app, set as wallpaper, choose lockscreen only. Done

i did this , and it doesnt. omg.
delete all photos from the magazine unlock folder in the huawei folder - then check you have updates turned off for the magainze, etc - you can also pause the screens by swiping up when locked to get the mini bar for torch, calculator, etc - just press the pause button
mine has never updated since i done all this and can change lockscreeen or desktop picture when ever i want
I have the same problem except I can never display my images as covers in the locks reen. All other covers are unchecked and can't be deleted. I have read somewhere that you should deactivate and reactivate locks reen pw but it doesn't help for me.
I am not having this problem. Strange behaviour for some phones it seems.

well... yesterday somehow it started to work, after testing other themes, I reverted to the magazine lock screen and it worked... until this morning when stock started to show again... the only thing I did was to add the face recognition...
so there is smth not working correctly here... any one knows if there is a place where to report bugs at Huawei ? or is it useless to try ?

Wallpaper Motion Effect and Rotation for stock TW launcher

Hi folks,
i really like the wallpaper motion effect, but to use it you have to set the Touchwiz Launcher as default. If you have a theme running or more than the TW launcher you can´t choose the motion effect. so i decided to make a little, litle script to switch the settings from "0" to "1". You have to run it on a rooted device with a script executer like Root browser.(rename the files from txt to sh)
I also modded the wallpapercropper2 (oreo) so you have always the option for motion effect independently if the stock TW launcher is set as default. Just swap it with an file explorer in system/priv-app/wallpapercropper2.
Enjoy it!
Wallpaper rotation
On the stock TW launcher on my Note 8 the wallpaper rotatin works if i cange that line in sytem/etc/floating_feature.xml
Code:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_LOCKSCREEN_CONFIG_WALLPAPER_STYLE>MOTION,INFINITY,VIDEO,[COLOR="red"]INCONSISTENCY[/COLOR]</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_LOCKSCREEN_CONFIG_WALLPAPER_STYLE>
to
Code:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_LOCKSCREEN_CONFIG_WALLPAPER_STYLE>MOTION,INFINITY,VIDEO,[COLOR="Red"]CONSISTENCY[/COLOR]</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_LOCKSCREEN_CONFIG_WALLPAPER_STYLE>
This is just for stock TW launcher!!!

Hi Dev, this is what i was looking for for some time now. Thanks.
However i have enabled this and does not seem to be working on nova launcher.
Any advice? I also can't run the script on my device, am rooted using fx explorer and tried terminal emu. Managed to run the script, however still no effect on nova.

So I assume you mean that no matter what gallery app you use to select your image one will have the scroll option...
Is this the parallax effect that you cant turn on when you apply a wallpaper?
Since were to moving. wallapapers and touchwiz, wth happened to scroll effect on homescreen? Really miss that one.

The wording on your original post gives the implication that this script will make it possible to use the Infinity wallpapers with any launcher. If this only works with Touchwiz, then what exactly is the purpose of it, since the Infinity wallpapers will already be working?

No. Usally to have the motion effect option (not scroll option) you have to set the TW launcher as default launcher. Now you have this option without a default launcher. I also switch between Nova and TW, so i can switch the wallpaper for TW with that option.

Yes, is Parallax. I knew it as Wallpaper Motion effect. I also miss the scroll effect but could not find it til now.

The feature you say is not possible with theme's installed? That might be due to the wallpaper set from the theme itself, cause i do use themes and it works. I use APOD wallpapers usually in high quality and set them manually through the built-in wallpaper changer, motion effect was always possible. Most of the themes come with wallpapers, and that probably might be the culprit.
And yea, i really miss the Wallpaper Scroll effect...it just doesnt make sense how they get rid of features without any sort of negative feedback.
Just came here to correct myself, and thank @and2 for this little gift.
I randomly tried a theme out there, just to find out that Motion Effect completely disappeared from any theme after. I'm really fond to that effect. Thanks again man.
