what is your ROM?
If you are on CM9 then it is supposed to happen cuz flickering problems have not been fixed completely on CM9.
If you are on CM7, then you may better try quickpic from market. Its Blazing fast. I dont use stock gallery on CM7 because even I have the flickering problem.

You can also choose to set the wallpaper from the home screen: Just tap and hold the screen>select wallpaper then navigate your gallery for wallpaper choosing
Go with QuickPic bro.

Does anyone else find that their stock photo gallery sometimes hangs? Sometimes it takes about 5 seconds to open, and other times it just hangs at the "loading" screen.
ps. I've only got about 50 photos in there.

Yes. Mine has delay and lag too. Just bought it yesterday.

I've noticed this problem a few times here and there. I just kill the process using advanced task killer and then its near instant again. I think the gallery just gets stuck at times. You may see it running in the built in task manager then close it and try again. Usually works after the task is killed for me anyway

I get some hangs in the Gallery app too, but not as long as 5 seconds.
What bothers me the most is that after uploading an image through Kies Air, I need to quit the Gallery app completely and reopen it for the new image to show up.
I've also had this problem intermittently. Twice I waited more than a minute and ended up rebooting to get the gallery loading again otherwise it just hangs.

I think you just need to force a manual "media scan" to get image changes to be picked up. The app ScanMedia is great for that purpose
The Gallery pauses are probably due to a background media scan running to pick up image changes on the "sdcard" partition. Google should fix this... esp since HTC Gallery can do the scan without pausing.
yeh I get it to, little annoying but doesn't bother me to much atm
The problem does seem to be intermittent, but it does get annoying when I have to reboot the device to get it to open back up again. Hopefully there will be a patch in an upcoming update.
I have noticed that if I save picture from some wallpaper app or from internet browser, the picture doesn't show up in the gallery. I am not actually quite sure what to do to make it show up. My only solution has been restart or then using some other gallery, like just pictures. Also there I have to press refresh gallery to get the new pics showing. This is annoying as hell.
I have over 200 photos in my gallery also have 10 videos...doest lag or hang for me...

found the gallery app extremely laggy while using my hd2 as well... switched to quickpic and never looked back again.
hey hey
The problem is the Data Network Mode. Deactivate it and you will notice a big improvement!
Yep its awful, I use quickpic now its tons better

yes QP is great even on the lower spec phones, like my SF, but on the SGS2 doesn't QP break the ability that allows you to set a different wallpaper on the lockscreen ? or are you just running both side by side ?
sometimes gallery doesn't launch the pics at all so have to exit it and re open! only occasionally tho.
Just open quick pic and then long press the picture and select set as, then lockscreen and then poof, it is set
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Agreed, quickpic is awesome.
The gallery app is laggy to open, and then far too fast once it's open, it's like the phone is too fast for it.
Installed quickpic and never looked back.
no, that doesn't work for me..

If I do what you state above all works up to 'set as', the only options i get under 'set as' in QP are to set as QP Wallpaper or contact icon...
Mine lags as well. But not all the time though.
Hi all.
I'm having a problem on my phone whereby the default home screen seems to lose itself after every time my phone goes into lock.
Specs are:
CHECKROM Revolution 1.0
GoLauncher Ex (my choice)
TW 4.5 Launcher
It was working previously with the same as above, and I thought it was the latest update to GoLauncher, but rolling back to a previous APK doesn't work either.
Cheers!

Hmm ...
... could be a GoLauncher Ex issue.
Did you search in the corresponding thread for any solution or similar issues?
Alternatively you can use another launcher like Nemus Launcher app from the Market.
Good luck !
Ok. Try this.
If you don't have titanium backup installed, download it from the market.
When it first opens, at the top in the middle you will see 'backup/restore'. Go into that and select your desired launcher then hit 'wipe data'. Keep in mind you will lose all your widget/launcher setting.
What is weird is that you would think it does the same thing as doing it from settings/application, but it doesn't. The titanium trick has saved me heaps of times when all else has failed.
Also, are you sure it is set as your default or are you just launching it from say 'home switcher' without clearing the old default and setting the new?

Can you change the lock screen wallpaper to what you downloaded? Or are you only limited to Samsung's stock images?
Yes you can. I use QuickPic for my gallery so when I see a pic I want to use for my lockscreen wallpaper I just long press it and some options will come up, one is lockscreen wallpaper, select it and then it'll have you crop the pic you want to use...if it's too big, done deal.

I tried that method, but only the option to set the homescreen wallpaper pops up. I tried changing the lock screen wallpaper with one of the Samsung defaults, but I get "Unfortunate the SECWallpaperChooser is not responding" or something like that. I wonder if that's the problem.
You might have removed some apps from system/app
That could be the cause your your trouble

Hi I've been trying to change my lockscreen wallpaper to a picture out of my gallery but every time I try it never changes? Any ideas? Where would the folder be located that stores the stock lock screen wallpapers I could maybe copy and paste some pics in to there and try that way. Cheerz

Hi,
Is that SecWallpaperChooser.apk still present in system/app?
Does anybody know how I can change my lockscreen wallpaper. I have been looking everywhere and cannot seem to find where to change it.

Settings>lock screen>wallpaper (I think)
Already looked there no option to change it

Open any image file and hard press / keep press that image for 5 secs, you'll get options to set as Wall paper, in that select Lock Screen Wall paper.

That doesn't work either, I have no option to select it as my lockscreen wallpaper only the main wallpaper

The long press only works on samsung roms
Does anyone know how. Surely someone else is running cyanogenmod and know how

Lockscreen Background
Did you figure this one out already? I found it in Settings > Lock screen > Background - select "Custom image" and make sure you can browse to one using Gallery or File Manager
Lol I thought my first post was right
thanks dear

Same for me and for a more recent rom.
Is that for cm10 or cm10.1
I know that I'm late to the party, but I have some zedge wallpapers that I wanted to use as my lockscreen only. After much playing around, the only way I could get it to work on my lockscreen only, as to move the image to my gallery, and set it via there. It wouldn't take from my zedge wallpaper folder.
