[Q] Use live wallpaper as background in lock pattern - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good night.
I have been researching this subject for a while and I find no solution.
I would like the pattern lock screen in my S2 to show my live wallpaper (or a different lwp) instead of a regular image.
The new S3 pulls this out easily. How can I have this in the S2? I. tried several launchers but they do not change this option.
Best regards
ps: I started this thread elsewhere in this forum but seems here is the appropriate place

Anyone?

Its weird
It works fine for me
When I choose a live wallpaper on my s2
It sets it as my lock screen wallpaper too

Sorry, I don't either.
But I got a question...
Now that you mentioned that the default lockscreen is to move the whole picture(which I prefer).
Is it possible to add widgets to the lockscreen and still keep that lockscreen option?( moving the picture)
Thanks in advance.

Non - Rooted phones = No rights on update/modify system files..which won't be possible unless someone makes a rom out of it..people prefer their roms to be rooted..

[Q] Live Wallpaper on Lock Screen? ICS?

I don't know if anyone noticed but in GB, I was able to have a lwp on the lock screen however for some reason on alpha 2 I can't? Any ideas?

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.

yeah, I guess you are right on that one!
I love LWP, but, because of what they do to kill a battery, the novelty wore off pretty quickly.

I assume you're using a different launcher instead of touchwiz. If you still have touchwiz on there run that instead and use the wallpaper selector from there which allows you to change the locks creen wallpaper.

Problem with wallpaper on 240dpi

Hi guys,
Got a problem trying to set a wallpaper on 240dpi, I have tried both the stock gallery and quick pic to crop the images for the screen but both end up with the wallpaper being zoomed in.
No matter what I try I can't get the image to look right on the screen, any ideas?
Cheers in advance,
Blinky

Be more specific; do you mean the lockscreen or the home screen/s? If you have wallpaper scrolling enabled, this is probably why. If it is on the lockscreen, I am not so sure.

Cheers for the reply, I tried disabled wallpaper scrolling and it didn't sort it out. I did check the lock screen and the wallpaper acts the correct way there so it is just the home screen.
Any other ideas, using omega of it helps.

Cannot use home screen wallpaper as lockscreen?

Hello,
I noticed on the G3 you cannot set the lick screen wallpaper to be the same as the home screen.
On the other android phones I have had you can set this option, which allows your live wallpaper to be used as your lock screen.
Am I just not finding the setting?

Go to Settings >> Display >> Home Screen >> Wallpaper, and set your wallpaper using the "Gallery" app (first in the list on my G3). When you click OK you should get a pop-up confirmation dialog with a checkbox "Set on Lock screen". That'll set them both the same.

Yea that is for setting a static image. I am referring to the feature that seems to exist in all phones but this one, where you can set a live wallpaper as your home screen and then have the lock screen be that same live wallpaper.

No worries! It is a pretty neat feature. I use Muzei live wallpaper with the reddit plugin. It shows a new background from the sub reddit earthporn (beautiful landscapes and locations) every 60 minutes.

I always wanted to have a live wallpaper of the Earth based on my current location...or from orbit with a choice of orbital speed.
I have a feeling this might be related - but I also noticed that when you're setting a lockscreen wallpaper, it doesn't bring up any of the icon packs as options to pull a wallpaper from, like other phones do, and like it does when you set a homescreen wallpaper. Odd...
