hahaha
So my co-worker as a prank, took a picture of himself with the front facing camera and set the picture as the lockscreen. Now I can't seem to switch it back to the default since it only allows pictures to be selected out of the gallery. Any suggestions?
What happens if you just delete the photo?

Not properly it seems... opps
No need to come across as rude
Take a picture of yourself on his phone and put it as his lockscreen. Then people will start thinking you two are lovers. xD
Jokes aside, when you long press a home screen, and you click wallpaper, you don't get like gallery, live wallpaper, wallpaper gallery? Doesn't picking a picture from say, wallpaper gallery, change the lockscreen wallpaper also? Excuse me if i'm wrong or you don't have a wallpaper gallery/live wallpapers.
Home screen > menu > wallpaper > gallary.
Choose the default red wallpaper, but press the portrait symbol. It will ask you if you want to use the wallpaper for the lock screen as well.

Rooted Helps.
If you want to remove Lock screen File Then,
You can use root explorer to delete the lock screen file in the system by :-
(i) search for (lock) or (lockscreen) in root explorer home.
(ii) then select the lockscreen image file present in the system search and delete it.
Don't forget toggle {mount as r/o}.
And when you remove the lockscreen file it will automatically turned to default or original lock screen.

HI ,
apart from going to your "pictures gallery" ,to set the lockscreen wallpaper ,have you gone to settings .?(easiest way if you struggling is,)
( settings/screen/screen display/ and you will see option either homescreen wallpaper or lockscreen wallpaper,select lockscreen ,and you will see options, wallpaper gallery or gallery ...!
test it by being straight forward and select ,eg.wallpaper gallery,select one of the pictures ,complete action using "crop picture" ,not any alternative (" crop picture" should be the stock app option ) and it should set lockscreen.?
nb.
afterwards, if you want to ,try again with pictures gallery, but after selecting wallpaper you must "backtrack " all way out of picture gallery and not just close application .!
hope this works for you ,it should
willcor
I'm able to change the wallpaper on my homescreens, but how do I change the lockscreen wallpaper?
And is it possible to replace the clock on my lockscreen with another one? How?
Settings>screen>screen display for the lockscreen wallpaper. Can't help with the clock.

Found it, but the wallpaper is still the same even if i'm changing it. Don't get it, I pressed the save button.
I usually clear the defaults and go back to the touch wiz launcher... You can change it there then save ADW as main home again.

Thanks for answering. I switched back to touchwiz and pressed the + icon. on my homescreen. Went to background, picked gallery and lock screen wallpaper. Found the pic file and cropped it. Pressed the save button in the upper right corner. But the lockscreen wallpaper is still the same, I'm not able to change it.
Any answers thus far?
I too am trying to find this answer......
I usually go to Galleries, or QuickPic, open up the desired picture, and set is as lockscreen.

Funny thing is, that is what I usually did before.
But for some reason, that option is no longer there......
When I go into QuickPic and choose the picture, only gives me an option to use for wallpaper (dont even get me started on trying to find a wallpaper that fits).
So I am using Multi Live Wallpaper for my home screen, but can't find how to change the lock screen.
When I do change the lock screen through MultiLive it lets me do it.
But when I turn off and on the same old lockscreen is still there.......and actually, when I push the power button there is a very fast flicker of the lockscreen wallpaper that I chose, but then just goes to the stock screen.
I feel really stupid for asking this, but I have forgotten how to set images as wallpaper. I tried through the stock gallery app, but that only lets you set half of the image as the wallpaper. I've done it before, but for the life of me I can't remember how.
you can try a different gallery app. I use fishbowl and that works good just select the picture press menu, set as, wallpaper then whichever scale you want
You could also long press on an empty spot on your home screen, select wallpapers, then gallery.

Yes thank you, that was what I was thinking of!
I've scoured the internet for hours, still no answer.
I have Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, and I want to change my lock screen so that it isn't just what the home wallpaper is. This is what I do:
Gallery->picture I want->menu->more->set as->lock screen wallpaper
I'll then size the picture, and select, "save". Then the player says that it is setting the wallpaper and then the window goes away. I assume that means it's set it. However, when I go to the lock screen, nothing has changed.

Have you tried using different lock screens? When I tried that it didn't change my pattern lock background, but it did change when I switched to the default 'swipe glass to unlock' lockscreen.

That worked! Thanks so much!
I really wish I could use my pattern lock with it, but hey, I've got nothing to hide.
Dude, you probably should of left it alone! Some of us have done it, but there is a bug where there is no option to change back to homescreen wallpaper! This means you can't have a live wallpaper on your lockscreen, but I don't like live wallpapers anyway so Im okay.
hi all,
anyone has issues with magazine unlock? on my Mate 10, i choose only my own photos as the Magazine Unlock and it worked fine.
on the M20P, it seems that it doesn't even show the pictures and instead, choose the default theme wallpaper. i could choose my own wallpaper but it's not rotating between the images i've added under 'Added by me'.

2) press the lock icon to lock the wallpaper.
3) press the power button to lock the phone.
4) press again the lock icon to release the wallpaper
5) press power button and you'll see your problem is solved.
Hi,
I have the same problem. My lockscreen is set as "unlock magazine" but I've no picture of "the magazine". I only have the default wallpaper linked to the main theme.
The lock is unlocked and I can't do anything to change that, even if I disable unlock Magazine / reactivate, or reboot the phone.
Btw I don't know if it's linked or not but my theme app is also empty, I can't load any new theme apart the preinstalled ones. And unfortunately there is no way of restaure these applications (just empty cache for theme and disable / reactivate ).
Sorry for my english btw.

Because of the gluegate, they gave me a new phone. Fortunately Magazine Unlock does work.
I also found why theme app didn't work. Morocco wasn't recognized at first as a listed country for Huawei Services. I wasn't able to login Huawei cloud or any Huawei service included Themes. But the 122 previous update fixed it.

e_mc-square Given me the idea of locking the wallpaper and to solve most of your concern on those downloaded Magazine picture.
To solve this issue just on the lock screen, each picture file that you don't want / flip to the picture &
On the bottom as you will see the lock, delete, love, share & setting (buttoms)
Just press the trash can which is delete the picture. this solve the issue of showing unwanted downloaded magazine file.
I am happy with it now...!!!

After a lot of fiddling about trying to turn off all groups of pictures except mine, I stumbled into this method and it worked fine. Only took me a few mins to individually delete all the photos that I didn't want.
How to use only custom magazine album

So for this problem follow these steps, I worked on it for 2 whole hours and finally worked it out (huwei p30 pro) i think it works for all android phones tho
Steps
1. Go to album - > more albums (others) and click on the magazine unlock album.
2. Delete all photos you dont want to have and put the ones u want to have on you screen in the album
3. Block that file (right above button next to the +)
4. Restart your phone
5, deblock that same album file and go to your unlock screen, than delete all the remaining photos (while you are on your lockscreen) of those old unwanted ones
6. And you are done!
Notice!!!! Be sure to diasble all the kind of grams you are following in setting - > begin screen and unlock screen - > magazine unlock screen. All those you'll have to disable. And one more thing, while your disabling these 'grams you' ll see 'my gallery pictures. Be sure to add the same photos you want to have on your unlockscreen so you have it twice! Once there and once in your original album of the 6 steps you did ( total twice!)
