I'm wondering the same thing mate! Since all of the current ICS ROM's available
for the SGH-i717 right now are based on the official Samsung leak, I'm wondering (hoping) that removing the live wallpaper on the lock screen was a Samsung decision and not an official AOSP decision since there's now been an AOSP like ROM posted for our device (NOTEworthy, I believe it's called). If I find an answer/solution before the download link to the AOSP ROM is up, I'll report back in and let you know.
BUMP
*BUMP* PLEASE!
There are now 4 different ICS ROM's available for us and yet this issue still remains although rather minor it may be. Hopefully someone will have a solution for us soon. I'll keep researching.

Noteworthy is still based off of the stock SAMSUNG leak. It's not actually built from aosp.

I have live wallpaper on my lockscreen. Now I'm not using thr stock lockscreen I'm using Widget Locker, but any LWP I put on my homescreen, be it MultiPicture LWP, Beautiful Weather, or whatever, also shows on my lockscreen. Just my 2cents.
EDIT: I'm running ICS Seraphim First Flight stock btw.
how do you get live wallpaper on widget locker?
i don't get that option anywhere; when I am in the settings, wallpaper, my only choices are for things that will put only pictures/wallpapers, not live ones, on the screen
thanks

I'm assuming he meant you just set the wallpaper as live and it also shows on the lock screen.

I love LWP, but, because of what they do to kill a battery, the novelty wore off pretty quickly.

Im probably the only one who feels this way, but i think the touchwiz lockscreen is unsmooth and really tacky. It doesnt quite look right to slide the wallpaper away.
I was wondering how possible it is to port a lockscreen, or even just turn the wallpaper into glass, so that it slides nicer.
And yeah yeah i know "flash cm7" but i am not quite ready to leave some of the touchwiz features yett.

I'm sure it won't take too long to see some lock screen options.
But I do want to add my +1 for aosp and glass lock screen when someone who is capable has the time. I know the developers we have are pretty busy right now so I am waiting patiently.
By the way thanks for all the work done so far.

Exactly what Im doing.
Are you sometimes getting the Samsung lock screen after dismissing the widgetlocker screen? Seems to occur when I have done kind of a notification waiting.
I have not seen the two lockscreens overlapped at all.
Replying to bump.
Haven't really seen anything regarding this mod, and no personal luck with UOT Kitchen.
Anyone have an idea how to do this?
I'm on UnNamed and not too interested in leaving it for another ROM over a lock screen. And the downloadable ones mentioned always tend to overlap with the stock one which is even more of a hassle.

It was really about the only thing I liked in TW and I rooted the phone the night I got it, but I've been thinking I'd like to try and run the stock lockscreen from TW if possible.
So if anyone is able to pull it for me I'd really appreciate it!

Nobody can help you with the information provided. We need your current ROM, kernel, any other information you can provide about what exactly you're running. Virtually all ICS ROMs have wallpapers that will scroll as you swipe from screen to screen(I assume that's what you're talking about). Also, launchers such as Nova or Apex have options that let you have a static wallpaper that doesn't scroll when you switch home screens.

I assumed that because it isn't working in the way I want, ie wallpaper doesn't scroll, that I would need to use new one. This same problem happened in gingerbread when I updated to 2.3.6 and there is no way to fix it except by changing the rom or firmware version.
So that's why I thought it wouldn't matter.

Huh, I don't remember that happening with UCKK6. I only ran it for about a week a long time ago though, so I don't really remember. Anyway, yeah, whether or not a the wallpaper scrolls is generally driven by the rom. For instance, on my wife's Inspire, Sense 2.1 roms have scrolling wallpaper while sense 3.0 and 3.5 roms do not.
Kind of irritating to not have it in my opinion...but the solution is just to switch to a different rom. If you want a Touchwiz based rom, I'd suggest trying ShoStock2 or Phonebricker. If you want a Google AOSP based rom, try out AOKP or CM9.

Its not the rom its a problem with the Wallpaper Chooser app. Every other launcher and wallpaper app I've tried all work just fine and I've got the Danzig skull in my avatar happily spread across all screens now.

Huh. I've never actually used the TW ICS launcher because it looked so terrible...always stuck to Apex or Go. It's pretty crappy of AT&T to remove features in a new launcher.

try downloading zedge (i know....) and picking a random wallpaper, install it and see if that gives you any scrolling...
I was able to get scrolling to work by uploading my wallpaper jpg to a file host and then opening it via web browser and setting as wallpaper as well, but if i tried to set the wallpaper via the homescreen settings it would crop most of the picture and all i had was the very center of the image zoomed in with no scrolling.

It is not the launcher, it is the gallery. The one packed in the original rom does not support it. Switch the gallery from a rom that does, most of the i9100 do and the custom roms here

Does the gallery somehow control scrolling features of live wallpapers too then? Because those won't work in TW or any other launcher on the android market either.

I've never run live wallpapers so I can't answer that, I just know that I replaced the gallery in the leak and it allowed me to resize my wallpaper and allow it to scroll from page to page.

Nope! Not in the stock TW launcher. The good ol'boys over at Sammys has taken that away a few months ago prior to the US release of their Galaxy series phones. Even with my wife's sgII just prior to the ICS official update, Sammy updated the phones to strip that away.
Now, every 'none' Sammy (Samsung) phone out there does have scrolling wallpaper (HTC, etc.) except for your sgsiii.
It has something to do with the visuals, trying very hard to be different from Apple - which does have scrolling wallpaper.
Also, universal search was STRIPPED away from your phone. See:
http://www.mobilemag.com/2012/07/13/universal-search-removed-from-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/
The fine devices made by HTC has these things your looking for. Also, wonder why the new Nexus 7 tab is made by Asus and not from Sammy?

Yeah try another launcher. Apex and Nova are pretty good.
Does anyone know of an rooted S2 ROM that is pretty much stock Samsung ICS 4.03 that gives me 5 horizontal icons on home screen and 5 x 5 in the apps drawer.
Alternatively any way to achieve this this with an existing rooted ROM?
Don't want to do it through an alternative launcher as I am happy with TW.
Thanks in advance.

TW wont do that out of the box.
Look into TW 4.5 - not sure if it'll work on ICS, but I used it on GB and it allowed you to change the grid size IIRC.
Oh and it's a launcher thing, not a ROM thing.
Otherwise, find other launcher i guess...
Use apex launcher
On home screen touch the menu key
Go apex settings > home screen settings > portrait grid
Change to 5x5 or whatever u want

Thanks for that I have TW4.5 on my current ROM which is running 4.0.3 and have had on previous ROM's but this is the first time I have seen 5 horizontal icons on the home page, had never seen it as an option either.
I will investigate some more as I don't really want to use another launcher.
