Set different lock and home screen wallpaper? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Simplest way it's download another launcher in then it will give toy then choice to choose from that or stock when you press home
You can also uninstall from the market just select menu so you know the name sounds like sb shell launcher

I think what you are looking at is the wallpaper?
It was change to Live wallpapers..by your son accidentally
you can press on the homescreen and a popup menu will appear, from there
choose wallpapers then choose wallpaper gallery and change your wallpaper
thats it..
by the way I hope you could specify a little more so that we can help..
hope this help in anyway..
Assuming you're talking about an alternative launcher, and you want to go back to the original Samsung one, you would do it as follows. Tap Settings on the home screen, Applications, and Manage applications. Now mine is ADW Launcher, so I'd tap that, but if yours is a different one, tap that. If you don't know which one it is, just look through the list for a likely candidate. If it isn't on the Thir-party tab, you could try All. Anyway, once you've found the launcher, tap it, and on the next screen tap Clear defaults. Close all screens. Now back on the home screen, tap the Home button. It should open a window where you can select Use by default for this action. Tap that, and then Samsung Home. From now on the original Samsung launcher will be used.
Thanks guys for the tips...it's working now

Changing Default home screen to something other then 1

HI guys,
Is there anyway to change the default home screen on TW for the note? I really like TW, I have my main home screen at position 1 and then I have no2 and then I have the last page. The idea is that I start from my home screen and can go left or right (like Nova etc).
Now this does indeed work with TW but if you have a live wallpaper and scroll from first page to last page (in this case left) then the wallpaper does a funny jump to shift the image instead of a smooth scroll from one page to the next.
Is there anyway to set the home page to another page in TW? Or is there anyway to stop live wallpaper scrolling (if it is not an option on the LW settings).
Thanks!

Just hit the home button on the top right, and once selected, every time you hit the physical home key, you’ll be taken to that screen

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.

[Q] New from iOS - help understanding two app screens

Greetings,
Happy to report that I grabbed an HTC One this morning and will be moving over from my iPhone 5. I've had every iPhone and at the same time a Nexus 7 tablet so I have some familiarity with Android.
My question is: It the intent that the user will use the apps on the screen that supports wallpaper or the other apps (icons) screen that things appear to toggle between when selecting the centered grid like button?
Thanks!

The one with the wallpaper is the home screen, the idea is that you add widgets and your apps to your home screen however you see fit. This way you can check the weather, news, emails, messages etc by just scrolling through the screens. Have a play around with it, it's a far better system than iOS
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Also, you can set the "wallpaper" home screen as your "go-to" home page, instead of blinkfeed.
Long press anywhere on an empty part of one of the wallpaper home pages. You'll see the ability to add widgets with all your home screens at the top.
Longpress the second one from the left, and you'll see an option (it pops up above the mini home screens) to set that page as your home.
Swing the page (while you've long pressed it) over that option and it will be your new homepage.
You have options

[Q] Change wallapaper on homescreen and lock screen simultaneously

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
