Hi to all.
I cant find a solution to my problem and maybe someone can help me.
I have found some wallpapers for our Note in the right resolution (800x1280) to use these in my lockscreen.
The problem is that when i choose a wallpaper with lot of black color and choose it as lockscreen wallpaper i can see some horizontal lines on it.
If i choose the same image as phone wallpaper everything is ok.
Where is the problem?
Thank you all.
I have the exact same issue. Horizontal lines on lock screen, but looks fine everywhere else. I don't have the solution, but maybe I can help you out a bit.
I did some searching, it turns out that there's some sort of software bug that doesn't allow black images to be truly black but rather very dark grey. The thread is somewhere in this forum.
Also the native lock screen resolution is actually smaller than the screen resolution because of the notification bar. Per this forum: http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/37268-lockscreen-resolution-compression-issues-false-info.html
Also when you set an image to be the lock screen, it seems the picture is re-scalled and saved again (in another directory), which means compressed again.
Android phones usually don't display images in 24 or 32 bit color but rather 16 bit color, which means color banding. More on that information somewhere in this thread also.
My suggestion is:
1. Find out the native lock screen resolution. I'm also searching for the figure.
2. Edit your photo, change it to that resolution, and make sure the black areas of that image are truly digitally black (000000), and save it as an uncompressed image.
Maybe the horizontal lines are because the image is being re-scalled, re compressed, and the image being displayed at 16 bit color with a "true black but" is resulting in horizontal lines.
The solution is this. I'm using it and black is perfect.

Not bad idea at all...I have used widgetlocker in my previous phones but somehow i had some little problems like small lugs or battery draining.
I dont know if in the latest version is fixed.
But ill try cause i love black lockscreen in our huge super screen...
edit:Not working properly for me cause i have lower destiny...
Ah, what a shame! But WL does work, so if you ever go back to the stock density i highly recommend you using it.
Magick locker is free so you can test that, get a theme and customize wallpaper, set any black image and its fine. so its samsung lockscreen software bug
One simple solution, use wallpaper wizardrii!!

When trying to set an independant lockscreen wallpaper HTCs gallery insists on cropping the height, despite the lockscreen wallpaper space being the full 1080x1920, this results in a zoomed in wallpaper on the lockscreen for zero reason. When setting to use the same as the homescreen it uses the full 1080x1920 wallpaper no problem/distortion. I'm using arhd 71.1 w/ the sense 6 toolbox, I've been through all the settings, tried all the xposed modules that look relevent; even tried something developed for another device to unrestrict the crop bounding box but I think that was supposed to work with the aosp gallery. Everything that sounds remotely promising ends up back the the HTC gallery and it's restricted bounding box.
I'd be happy to manually change settings and files somewhere, just cram my desired wallpaper in where the system will look for the lockscreen wallpaper and reboot; if I had any idea where to look or if that's even possible. I'd even be happy to put the time in writing an app/mod, except I've zero idea how - "how to dev for noobies" is something I've never come across here, and not for not looking.
Any pointer in any useful direction? Please?
I cant stand the neon blue look, as it gives the environment an unfished "selected" feel, and it completely ruins the experience for me.
Please let me know if theres a manual way of changing the colour, or if theres an app / Xposed module or anything. Thanks!
Heres a picture, if anyone wants an idea of what im talking about.

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me narrow down what I would be missing out on with regards to Pixel exclusive Android features.
Of course there are the features like Hold for me which are pretty limited in availability around the world anyway so am not to fussed about that. No Google Camera AI, that's understandable.
I'm thinking about the ability to change quick toggle colours and shapes. The always listening/now playing lockscreen ticker. Ability to highlight any text (OCR) in the task switcher. Any other AI features?
Any thoughts?
Please and thanks!

You actually can change highlight color and icon shape. There's a thread on it here.
