I just switched over from Widget Locker to MagicLocker, since I found a ML style that I really liked. My only complaint is that I can't figure out how to use a Live Wallpaper as the background for it! Is it possible?
If it isn't natively possible, is there some way to hack it to do so? All help is appreciated, thanks! <3
It's been a while since the OP posted this, but I was wondering the same thing. I read somewhere it was possible with ML, but haven't seen how to do it.
Any ideas?
The answer is most of the time. Most themes allow you too but some don't, the stock one doesn't allow you to I believe. To change it you click customization in the top right then select general customization. There you can select your wallpaper. To have a live wallpaper you must select use system wallpaper and you must have the live wallpaper selected as your phones background.

I looked around the forums but couldn't find any good answers/explanations about it, so I decided to ask myself.
The thing is I grew addicted to GoWeather's live wallpapers showcasing the current weather, the HD ones are a true sight for sore eyes, the thing is I dont want it on my home screen because I feel it lags me up a bit, and I also dont like how it transitions on to other screens, but mainly because I like static backgrounds for my home.
So I wanted to set the live wallpaper to appear ONLY in the lockscreen (im using widgetlocker) but I simply can't set it to go there; is there anyway to set a live wallpaper only for the lockscreen? I tried browsing my phone's memory (I own a SE Xperia Neo) to see if I could find the live wallpaper myself and set it manually, but I cant find them on there.
If someone can shed some light on this or where the wallpaper got installed to I'd appreciate it greatly ^^
cheers
Anyone? Anyone at all? *__*
i dont think u can use live wallpaper for only lock screen ..that is all i know
meh, thx anyway >.<
You can have it on the lockscreen but you will also have to have it on ypur home screen. i use go locker to do this but i dont know anyway in which you can have it only for your lock screen. Go locker is a new app so hopefully they will update it the way you want it
Similar to screensaver managers you'd find on other OS's? My preference is for it to randomise upon startup, anyone got any ideas? Is there a way to do it via Tasker?
Please bare in mind that I'm asking how to randomise live wallpapers, not standard, thanks!
There's an app called Multipicture live wallpaper. Allows you to choose a folder or album and lets you set things up. All you do is double tap screen if you want to change on the fly or let iit randomize on its own. This also puts a different picture on every screen. THE drawback is this app isn't ICS supported yet. It doesn't work on stock launcher. BuT if you get ADW launcher it works on that for some reason.
That's not for live wallpaper though is it?

Appreciate your guys time, but you're missing the point of the thread
I've used an app called Zedge on my Incredible2 and my Nook Color running Cyanogenmod 7 to download and set wallpapers and it has an option to randomize which wallpaper is displayed and change it automatically at an interval you set.
I haven't tried it on my TFP or ICS yet but I would recommend giving it a shot.
Is there any way to use live wallpapers on the lockscreen without using an external app such as widgetlocker? I don't like it at all and it also messes with other lockscreen widgets such as those from poweramp/winamp.
Not yet, but why you need this?
try miui
I don't think that it's really needed and usable. Did you have a look on the miui-unlocker-app?
goto app.miui.com
@078gregory: I don't "need" it, but i like having a consistent look throughout the UI. What's the purpose of android if you can't tailor to your liking?
@[email protected]: Thanks, will have a look although i don't think it's what i'm looking for.
Excuse me if I missed it but I'm interested in getting my wallpaper cropped, panoramic, and scrolling as they did in my Galaxy S2 and Fascinate. I know some people are using different launchers to accomplish this. Which one and are they able to crop the wallpaper properly prior to setting it? I also have one other request. I need my live wallpapers to scroll as well since I have one that slightly rotates in either direction when panning thru my home pages. Why is this feature not included on the Note? I sure do miss it. Thanks for your assistance.

I was wondering this myself. I was quite boggled when I went to make my wallpaper my favorite TRON: Legacy wallpaper with LauncherPro and it was completely wrong.
I can get them to scroll when using ADW and Go launchers but it doesn't change the fact that we have to crop them in a portrait shape instead of a landscape shape like we want. Also, my live wallpaper will not rotate no matter what launcher I use. I'm doubting ICS will give us this option either. Maybe a custom ROM is our only hope Great, back to the custom ROM world of bugs...
Autosize DbD wallpaper set is the app you need to pick up to crop or fit a wallpaper correctly without having it enlarged.
Scrolling wallpaper works for me on the launcher called ashell
Both these apps are free and lightweight

Do you think this will allow live wallpapers to scroll? I have several that move when moving from page to page when used in my galaxy 2 or fascinate
If you use the skyrocket wallpaperpicker.apk (will try and post it up later)
it allows landscape selection.

Okay, maybe I'm missing something here. But when I long press on home or go to the wallpaper settings in settings there is no live wallpaper setting? I downloaded a live wallpaper I really liked that I've used on multiple Androids in the past and cannot figure out how to get it set on the Tab S3. Any pointers? So far I'm coming up empty on googling.
Hello Aspexil,
for my Tab S3 I simply downloaded a app called Live Wallpaper Shortcut from someone called Ben Paul.
It is really nothing more, than a shortcut to the android live wallpaper screen selection.
Sucks that I need a separate app just to be able to use live walls
