[Q] Lockscreen Wallpaper Cycle/Slideshow? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is it possible for the lockscreen wallpaper to cycle or rotate through my pictures, similar to a slideshow?
Is this functionality achievable through an app/tweak of some sort?
TIA.

Has anyone found out a way to achieve this yet?

Does this functionality exist through an app such as Wallpaper Changer?
Or is it built into any ROMs?

i tried to implement such a functionallity in Wallpaper Changer but I haven't found a way to change the lockscreen wallpaper programmatically yet... if anyone has an idea, please let me know...

Yeah, I have tried using your app to achieve this. However, it doesn't work for me, probably because I'm still running on the stock ROM. Please let me know if you find out how to achieve this function.
Does anyone else have any ideas on how to do this?

Did you try this this app, it will go through your put images in a folder on your phone and change the image (x number of mins, hourly, daily or weekly),

Let me know if this helps

I tried the wallpaper app and got nothing but the error "cannot identify wallpaper" and showed a list of all my photos in red.

Hi, sorry to revive an old thread....
But you could make the app allow you to set live wallpapers (such as KLWP) as a lockscreen wallpaper.
You can then make a slideshow that only shows when locked with KLWP.
Unfortunately on my OPO with COS I can't set KLWP as my lockscreen wallpaper.

You can set certain layers to only be visible when the phone is locked.

[APP] Wallpaper Wizardrii - Adios Honeycomb Crop

I'm sure there are other apps out there for this, but this was the one I stumbled across. Allows you to set a scrollable (or non-scrollable) wall paper without having to crop it with the Honeycomb wallpaper cropper.
Got rid of a lot of headaches very quickly.

Edit: This was covered elsewhere but didn't show up in my searches, my bad.
Good find. I hate the way Android scale andzoom wallpaper.
Here is a screener.

I believe those are the weather and clock widgets that come with the transformer.

I thought so as well at first, but I have the Transformer weather widget and its not as small and compact as his in the screenshot. So unless he found a way to resize - thats something different.
I'm curious as well what those widgets are.

These are from the Asus transformer. You can find them in the apps and themes section. I can upload the wallpaper, I think it is Vancouver.
Install the weather app as you would normally do. I used rootexplorer to make a backup of /system/app/DeskClock.apk and copied the new deskclock.apk into the same dir. The picture may not cover the entire screen in portrait mode.

Anyone else having issues with WW?
My wallpapers periodically get cut off with the no scroll function on, leaving half the home screen black. WW would be the perfect solution for setting wallpapers on tablet if this worked

No issues here at all. Scrolling wallpapers appear as expected
Guys I can't set the wallpaper, I set it and I have the image in the center of the screen...

and then?
scrollable, no scroll or exact?!
thanks

I just select no scroll so the entire wallpaper appears and is not cropped. Scrollable will crop the image and reduce resolution. I believe exact is what you may have selected if a small version of the wp appears in lieu of full screen. Unfortunately i am having some issues with no scroll function, which i mentioned above. Some reviews of the app indicate similar issues.

I have tried every setting, tried adjusting the slide,and still it blows up the wallpaper. Unless someone decides to share what they're doing to make it work right I recommend using multi picture live wallpaper. Aside from having to refresh when switching orientation, this app is perfect for setting a proper wallpaper in HC.

Remove lockscreen wall?

How can i remove the lockscreen wallpaper? I can set from both gallery or xperia wallpapers (but the gallery ones aren't as crisp as the xperia ones), but can't remove it if I have a live wallpaper, for instance... Does anyone knows how to remove it?
Found it!
If you need, and have root: go to /data/data/com.sonyericsson.lockscreen.uxpnxt/ and delete the wallpaper.png file.

Yes, you're able to change it. But not remove it, once set.

Didn't work for me...that's why I had to do it the "hard" way, by deleting the PNG.
Solved The Same problem
I had the same problem of changing to default lock screen and i did a Settings Reset which solved it.
Goto Settings > Privacy > Settings Reset. After that the phone reboots and the only thing to bother is to correct the time.
Take care not to do the Factory Data Reset
Googled it

I know it's kinda off topic but can we change the lockscreen without a app like use a zip to flash as the go locker ,etc. are kinda slow...?

I'm digging up this old thread only to say that the last post with the suggestion of clearing the lock screen app actually solved my problem.
So there you go.

Lockscreen wallpaper

Is there a way to make it follow the normal wallpaper, instead of having two separate - one for lockscreen, and one for desktop? One way is to just use the same wallpaper, via Album, but then it has to be cropped instead.

So what's the problem in cropping. This won't crop the original image.

I dunno. Perhaps inconsistent wallpapers, due to the said cropping? I wouldn't have asked otherwise, if that wasn't the case.

Though it's not possible directly, what you can do is use gravity box and Xperia xposed modules. Disable scroll effect in Xperia xposed and set the same wallpaper for both home and lockscreeen.
Hit thanks if it helped

Live map widget

Good morning! I'm looking for a widget that just shows a (resizable if possible) live map, like a nav app when you haven't set a destination. Does anyone know if something like this exists?
I used a live background that did that? (I'll see if I can find it)
Thanks, yeah I did as well find a nice app for setting up a live wallpaper with different map styles etc. This is the one I tried. It's close, but not what I'm looking for. I want a widget that can cover, say, half the screen, split vertically.
Yip - thats the one I had - haven't seen a widget.

He said he has root, so extracting the launcher or the widget apk shouldn't be a problem.
