Hello,
The wallpaper carousal in my unrooted Mi5 doesn't seem to work. The lock screen shows only the default, offline 8 wallpapers.
I also tried clearing the cache and data of the carousal app (also tried a restart after that). Any clue about how to fix this?
Which launcher do you use?

It's the default launcher provided by MiUi.
Btw, it's a bit stupid that I am answering my own question, but the issue was resolved when I got an OTA two days ago The version I have now is 8.0.5.0

Good to know it works now
I was asking about the launcher because when you have custom launcher set as default, Wallpaper Carousel cannot access wallpapers and symptoms are just how you described. Xiaomi says that this is "known error"
Below feedback i wrote to Xiaomi
Changing wallpaper on Lockscreen is unique feature of Xiaomi but it's not working. I google lot on solution, still it is not working. Many users reported that the wallpaper is not changing on lockscreen. I tried both on default launcher and lightning launcher still not working. Did many troubleshooting like installed old versions, Autostart, no restrictions in battery saving, allowing all permissions etc still not working. My device is Redmi Note 4 rooted with Android 7.0 with MiUi 9.6.3.0.
Hi guys
I am reaching out to you guys because I haven't found an answer in the world wide web and probably some others would have the same problem as I have.
I recently installed KLWP app to customize my wallpaper. Problem that I am facing is that with no used Launcher (Nova, Apex, Evie) I can make my wallpaper scroll. Option is always on and I also checked that I have the same amount of pages in KLWP and my home screen. Not even with the standard launcher of P20 it's possible.
Does someone of you have a potential solution for me?
Thanks a lot for your help and best regards from Zurich
No solution, but the same problem on a P20 (not Pro). Tried to set a picture as wallpaper in Nova Launcher, but scrolling doesn't work. I also tried to force scrolling in the nova settings, but this crashes Nova.

I have a potential solution for you. I have had exactly the same problems like, as it seems, a lot of other Huawei users and nothing seemed to work. I then installed a bunch of different launchers and I finally got it working with Action Launcher. It worked out of the box, even tho if I made changes within the action launcher the KLWP became static again. I switched betwwen stock launcher and Action Launcher until I had my KLWP set up with all the settings I needed. You have to play around with that a little I guess, but I really think it will work for you.
The Launcher is this one.
Kind regards from Germany!
has there been any solution or work around for this? as i have a pretty cool setup i used for my previous sony xperia z2 and want to use it form y p20 pro but wall paper scrolling is integeral to it.
When you choose wallpaper click on the scrollable icon so it turns blue, your wallpaper is now scrollable when you apply it
I did the scrollable option in the standard launcher and it worked but I'm more interested in getting it to work using nova launcher. That's where everything seems to break down on me. Using standard everything works the way I want, just to complete the setup, I need to fully customize my app looks and shortcuts.
Same issue with Honor 10. Force scroll option on Nova Prime crashes the launcher.
Do you have the ability to select live wallpapers through the normal stock launcher?
As I've noticed on stock launcher the only live wallpapers you can see are the ones through Huawei's Theme App and no option to use external live wallpapers, so I wonder if this is the problem. I've emailed them and just waiting for a response as they state you should click on 'more' and then get option for live wallpapers in top right screen of which I don't, it's only the huawei theme app
Wallpaper scrolling works for me using Nova. I can also select external live wallpapers using Huawei's themes app.
If I use certain wallpaper apps to apply the wallpaper directly from their app, it doesn't work. But I found that once applied, I can then use nova wallpaper selector to reselect the same wallpaper from its 'history' options and this forces the wallpaper to now scroll.

I was on 156 and now on Android Pie EMUI 9. Scrolling still works for me. Stock theme.
On my side, i try to disable the wallpaper scrolling because when i set a static "portrait" picture, it zoom the picture and it's a mess >_< (nova launcher set in static wallpaper)

So you are on a totally different model/firmware as not all P20 Pro's are the same, it doesn't work on the CLT29-8.1.0.131 (C782)
Update: according to Huawei 3rd Party Live Wallpapers are not supported.
In response, please note that Google live wallpaper, KLWP or any other non Huawei themed live wallpaper are not supported by the device

I've not gotten Nova Launcher Pro to work. As others have stated, if I select Scroll Wallpaper to On, nothing happens. Just a static wallpaper. If I choose forced, it crashes.
The Microsoft Launcher works fine however. Just set a regular wallpaper to scrollable in the Huawei Wallpaper app, then you can apply KLWP. This has worked for me at least. The drawback of the Microsoft Launcher is that it doesn't have the workaround for the 5 second delay which is a pain. I've reported the issue to Microsoft a few times, both on the Google Group and Twitter, but so far, nothing.
SOLUTION :_Wallpaper scrolling in klwp
Its simple.... If u have 3 screen klwp live wallpaper jst save it from klwp and come to home screen(hope you have nova) then hold the screen untill it arrives to add screens.
Add 3 blank screens and feel the magic of klwp.
U must also enable wallpaper scrolling in nova settings
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?

Actually I dont like it, like it its evolving backwards. Its kind of 2015-18ish. I would rather have stock AOSP launcher than this.
Hi,
So i have a problem i download and installed them but basically i cant apply them. I tried google wallpaper app but it cant apply to lock screen just home screen. Can anyone help?
Title says it. I have a nice Nova Launcher setup on my S21 Ultra (TMobile), but every so often I would see a "Wallpaper applied successfully" while using an app and when I go back to the homescreen, my wallpaper changes to something else. The image doesn't even look like it's on my phone. I don't understand why it's doing this and I don't know how to stop it.
The dark themed image is what my display is intended to look, the other is what it'll change to. I thought Zedge was the culprit but no. I thought Samsung's wallpaper setting, doesn't seem to be that either. Any help would be appreciated. I'm willing to even factory reset my device
.
Do you have any other wallpaper apps installed? What makes you think it is Nova launcher applying the screen?
You might get logcat set up, and if you can make it reset the wallpaper, the log should tell you what is doing the reset.
I don't have that problem and I use nova launcher. I have a different wallpaper for the lock screen and another for the regular home screen
@GeekasaurusWrex what types of widgets are you using? I really like your setup.
I was using live wallpapers from Wallop and was having the same issue! But switched to a downloaded image and it hasn't happen since. I think it might be an all setting the wallpaper being the issue. Try to download it from the app and then let nova set it
