Is it possible to get the SGS3 Dandelion lockscreen on the SGS2?
I have installed the live wallpaper samsung dandelion for galaxy s3;it works for galaxy note but I have just discovered that works also for sg 2.If you want to install this live wallpaper click here ;http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1069205&stc=1&d=1337367259
I have got the live wallpaper installed but i was wondering if you could use it for the lock scrren aswell.
Thanks for the reply
Get Widget Locker from the Play Store:

It's a lockscreen replacement that keeps your live wallpaper running. You can also adjust lockscreen brightness, so the LWP is always shining bright. And remember to set it to your task killer's ignore list (if you use one), else it'll keep getting killed.
if anyone knows of a better and/or free alternative, feel free to tell me.

Thats Great Thanks
If anyone is interested...
I found a better way:
Get Go Locker from the Play Store (http://bit.ly/M7ryOv). Unlike Widet Locker, it's completely free. Not so customizable, but faster. The lag when unlocking the phone is completely gone.
Start Go Locker, activate it and set Background -> Launcher Background, so it displays the LWP on the lock screen.
If you like, install Fluid Live Wallpaper (http://bit.ly/LhvacK). It's a paid app, but well worth the money - the water effects are stunning.
Download the attached wallpapers (they're identical, I only reduced color saturation in No. 1) and set one of them as LWP background (via Live Wallpapers -> Fluid -> Downloaded Images).
That's it...

Hmm... About that GO Locker no lag behaviour... As far as I'm aware - lag when powering up screen comes from device waking modem up from deep sleep state.
Could you download CPU Spy (free) and check if phone gets to sleep while GO locker is used?

Hey everyone - having a slight problem with my all-time favourite wallpaper (which I brought along from my Symbian device) in combination with GO Launcher Ex.
Whenever I try to choose it as my homescreen wallpaper it gets zoomed in and very pixelated - TouchWiz doesn't have that problem.
Unfortunately Google & site search weren't able to provide a satisfactory solution ..so, anyone have an idea how to get it working?

Try to get that pic in 480 x 800 resolution, it will fit perfectly for portrait mode wallpaper.

Cheers mate, seems to have worked!
Blew the pic up to 480*852 first and then cropped 52 pixels from the top (only black anyways).
Resolution still seems to be fine enough.
Guess another possibility would have been to make a new all black 480*800 image and copy mine into the centre of that ..
Mmh. Will try that aswell.
*edit*
Crap. Just installed the newest version of GO Launcher and back to zoomed wallpapers we are - regardless of size. Only way to fix it is to switch back to TouchWiz and then back to GO Launcher again - which sucks.
!%#'"ยง!
What if you use Wallpaper Set and Save or Wallpaper Plus? They come out very sharp when I use apps like these.
I have noticed this bug as well. I can get it resolved by going back to the default launcher temporarily, set the wallpaper there, then relaunch Go Launcher, and it seems to be correct. It only happens to portait pics where there is no background scroll though.
Could it not be due to the wallpaper being in scan mode (as you go through the 7 screens the background image moves along)? Because in my HD2 (in SD Android) would select a square-ish area from the centre of the image I wanted as a wallpaper. When I changed it to the same image for all screens, then the selection of the image was in the same shape as the screen.

Are those Apps? Haven't heard of them before and might give it a shot - however there's probably also a certain increase in battery use associated with that method, something I'm not sure I'm prepared to accept.

Yup, exactly the same here. If only it weren't for the GO Launcher Calendar widget, I'd try another launcher or stick with stock TouchWiz ..

I have unticked that option, the background isn't scrolling.
Meh..
*edit*
The problem seems to be known but possibly not recognized as a problem by the GO Dev team:
After the research, it seems the wrong of Android system. Because the API we use to get wallpaper of system give us the zoom wallpaper.

Also, another possible solution seems to be https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture - however, Live Wallpaper = more juice required.
Same here happened. I just switch to TW luncher and back to GO luncher
Actually, installing the latest update of the GO Calendar widget seems to have fixed the problem.
When I installed it the wallpaper first bugged out again but when re-setting it, it worked fine without switching to TouchWiz. Perhaps that'll work for someone else, too.

Had same problem, stopped using stock gallery to select wallpaper, and started using qpix to select wallpaper, and it works fine for me now. Seems problem for me was the stock gallery app I was using to select the wallpaper.
Currently having the same issue and neither TW or GoLauncher is playing nicely with me.

I am having a problem I am using GO Launcher Ex and my backgrounds appear to be zoomed in a little bit even though when I'm setting the wallpaper it is fully zoomed out with the orange box. It has only recently happened because it never did that before and it happens no matter what wallpaper I set.
Android 2.3.6 CheckROM GT-i9100
Anyone have any answers?
Thanks.

Just an update: I found that switching back to twlauncher fixed the problem with the wallpaper! Switched back to Go Launcher Ex and it stayed fixed. Weird.
In case that doesn't work
Hey I found that my background would not scroll if I swapped to the tw launcher and then back, and it seems that its the default wallpaper selector. I use wallpaper wizardii and choose the scroll option when setting wallpaper and it works great.
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
While I patiently wait for root, I have the customization bug, most wallpapers don't scale up to the high resolution screen well,does anyone have any suggestions on some good, colorful, live wp's for this phone? I currently run digital hive and solar winds. Thanks!
Don't waste your battery! lol, I never use those things. You can find regular 720p images in Google Search, DL and use!
I think these are pretty nice:
Exodus Live Wallpaper Market Link
ICS Phase Beam Live Wallpaper Market Link
Light Grid Pro Market Link
Also grab a custom launcher if you aren't rooted and want to customize, customize, customize (Go Launcher EX is great as well as ADW , if you haven't already).
WP Clock on the Amazon App Store is my fav!
If you keep access to the original Nook homescreen (stock) then when you longpress on it and click on wallpapers, you can install live wallpapers.
If you enable the live wallpaper from here, you can then see the live wallpaper on your other home replacement such as GoLauncherEX or ADW.
You must change the settings each time from the stock Nook homescreen.
I hope this helps you guys out if you were interested in running live wallpapers on your NT.

Nice find... I was getting ready to port android live wallpapers over, but this works fine.
***UPDATE***
Multipicture Live Wallpaper works great with this...
Exactly. Definitely wanted multipicture live.

Nice find, but if I'm not mistaken this will absolutely destroy your battery life -- given the screen size.
The nt supports lwp's anyway. I actually bought one frome the b&n store and the option appeared automatically to accommodate it.

I guess I don't understand how it works.
Do Live Wallpapers still keep consuming battery life when the screen is off?
On EInk displays any animation destroys battery life. It takes almost no current to maintain a static display.
Active displays like the Nook and Fire I would not expect a lot of difference in the display current draw for animations. The big deal here would be taking the processor out of idle to generate the changing display.
This would certainly be a fruitful area for a test. Love to hear the result!
And this is with the display on. Display off may shut down everything related to the screen.
Thank you. I was trying to figure this out. Should have known to look here first.
Hi,
It is more app development question, but as I mostly reader and don't post a lot - I have no access to dev forums yet.
I have my own wallpaper app (Awesome Nature Wallpapers) and noticed that it can't set wallpaper for lock screen when it runs on SGS3. When I test it on different phones (my old SGS1, GT7.7, Motorola Defy+, some Huawei phone and emulator) it is working fine - lock screen is transparent and wallpaper is visible, but not on SGS3.
Does anybody now how to change SGS3 lock screen background programmatically (I mean not from settings)?
Thanks in advance!

Need to use the stock gallery. QuickPic can do it as well but you still need to crop the photo using the Gallery's editor otherwise it won't work. Another option is to download a really old app called Wallpaper Set & Save. Works really well.

Sorry, I probably didn't explain properly - I'm not looking for another app to do it. I'm looking for a way to do it from my own app which I'm developing. Standard Android methods of changing wallpaper don't work for S3 lock screen background...
