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

I noticed on every sense 3.6 rom I flash that the weather doesn't animate when opened. Also the live weather wallpaper doesn't animate they're just static pictures. Anyone else have this issue?
It's in a setting somewhere. I noticed it but can't remember where. I will look for it

Ok trash the weather clock u have and re apply the widget. When u do the first option u choose is location then it asks if u want full screen animations with a checkbox. Just make sure it is checked. Then screen off and on. Whala when u unlock
As far as wallpaper I don't use live wallpaper so I don't know

You don't have to trash it. Hold your finger on it like you are going to trash it, then slide up to edit. That will save you a few steps.

Do u guys know what the best size/resolution for the lock screen wallpaper is? I can't get it right and my high res pictures end up looking distorted... Thanks

What are you setting it with?
The stock gallery... sucks, use quikpic, don't uninstall or freeze the stock gallery you need it to be able to set the lock screen wallpaper with quikpic...if it's not present that option won't appear in quikpic

Actually i use gallery 3d so i don't freeze that app.... Quickpik is what i am using to set it... I just can't seem to get.that hd looking quality even when i use large pics that are 1600x1200... I figure.their is a resolution that would allow you the perfect quality with the CEO box expanded fully.. U know what i mean?

I'm on Jedi Rom using the stock launcher and I love this particular wallpaper but I can't set it as my wallpaper without it forcing me to crop it and the main thing I like about the wallpaper will have to be cropped off. Does anyone know of a gallery, app that can do something about this?

Will do
If that doesn't work, QuickPic will(and it's a great gallery app). DL it and when you go to wallpaper, select QuickPic instead of gallery. It didn't work for the lock screen though(since it has to be cropped), only home screen.

Use Multipicture Live Wallpaper. I normally use this for multiple wallpapers but it allows you to not crop and fit whole home screen. Just download from play store. Hold on on screen click wall paper, then live wallpaper, then multipicture live wall paper, settings.. And assuming yo uwant the same wallpaper for all, go to general settings, picture source, find the picture, and just go back and press set wallpaper.
+1 on multi wallpaper live...never failed me on the cropping issue. When all others tried to make me crop a wallpaper, multi let me full screen it.
Thanks for the suggestions I found out what I need to do. I had to resize the image with a program on my computer.
Over the weekend I swapped from CleanRom Lite to Beans build 10. I noticed that I can no longer change the wallpaper background on my lock screen. I use golauncher and also noticed that I am no longer able to change app drawer wallpaper background.
Anybody else seeing this problem?

Are you using the gallery to change it. It will not work with the 4.2 gallery if you selected that in aroma during install. No sure about go launcher tho as I haven't used that since pre-ics days
So when I go to that option, it only allows me to pick a wallpaper using gallery. It won't allow me to use any of the other media apps like quickpic...
Can that be changed? How can I have the phone allow me to use quick pic at the choose lock screen wallpaper selection screen?

Here's what mine looks like even after I change lock screen wallpaper using quick pic to set.

You need to open gallery, find the pic you want, hit menu, then set as. This will bring up options where to set it
After I do that, the wallpaper remains the same. This really isn't that big of a deal, just a small thing I would like to be able to do. Any thoughts on why it won't take?
I will try restarting the phone and see if that does anything...

Hmmmm. Not really sure from here. Could be an issue from the pin lock? Have you tried changing it to swype and see if it works? If not I'm not sure, maybe a go launcher issue.

Thanks for the info. Was able to change my lock screen without issue.
lock screen issue
hello buddy
is there a way to change the lock screen which came with the rom using root explorer in some how?
Does anyone know where the stock wallpapers are located on the DNA? I'm trying to set a Sense 5 wallpaper but the Gallery app, Astro, and ES File Explorer won't let me set the wallpaper properly. I'm trying to set it for portrait yo view to entire picture, but each app wants me to resize it with its framing square. This is a problem because it distorts the image when it zooms in. Can someone help with this? Is there another way to set wallpapers in portrait without having to resize?

Try using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistedapps.wallpaperwizardrii&hl=en
It lets you set the entire wallpaper instead of having to crop it.

It works except it doesn't fully scale. It leaves a black bar at the bottom of the screen where the wallpaper doesn't cover. I tried using the fix option where you change the numbers, but it didn't work. I guess because this is a full HD device and there's no way to scale.

and use the gallery to browse for your wallpapers and set it up full screen! no blacks.

Nice app but we are looking for a way to take stock wallpapers already on phone from HTC One (from downloading) and taking the entire 1080x1920 image and making it the background. With images already on phone you have to use that selector from HTC which forces you to shrink image...

Nope.
Install the app. Go to your gallery and select the wallpaper you'd like to set
Touch the screen and go to More -> Set as -> set as wallpaper.
That will trigger picspeed.
Have fun
I stand corrected. It takes a little tweaking but it worked! Thanks. You have to goto gallery app then go to picture you want, don't do personalize under settings...once you get to the picsee deal then you have go select the rectangle square on right to get full image...little confusing at first but it worked. The full screen option states it only works on picsee wallpapers...but when I selected the landscape wide option it highlighted the entire image and worked like a charm!
Thanks again!
