New owner of a note 2 here, with a question about my wallpapers. I set my wallpaper by selecting set lock screen + home screen, and they look different once set.
The difference is that the lock screen is brighter than the home screen, and the home screen is zoomed in further, cutting off a small portion of the picture.
Does anybody know why the phone keeps doing this? I can set them separately and get the zoom issue fixed, but the brightness is always different, no matter what I try.
BTW, I see the difference using the factory launcher, or Launcher Pro +
Couple of pics, to show what I'm talking about...
Thats because you have the ripple effect option on, it makes the wallpaper lighter so you can see the ink effect with the pen easier. If you disable the ripple effect then the brightness will be normal.

Also try using QuickPic from the market to set just the homescreeen wallpaper. It should give you better sizing options.

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

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

It needs to match the native screen resolution of 1280x800
Yea but when i crop a wallpaper with the native resolution it comes out distorted....

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 would like to set a wallpaper from a photo that I took on my phone but it crops the whole image off and I can't use it. Not only that, instead of being "scrollable" like it says they are, the background doesn't move when I switch desktops. Anyone have any suggestions? Even taking images in smaller resolutions, it still cuts off the image significantly enough that I can't use it.
Wallpaper Wizardry gives a bunch of options. Give it a try.

I downloaded Wallpaper Wizardrii and it's been the most helpful app thus far, thank you! However, the scroll function is not working as before... The Nova Launcher seemed to have fixed it for me temporarily, but I uninstalled due to battery consumption...
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?
I would love to attach a screenie.....but it happens so randomly and only lasts a second.
Im presuming that the function is built in because the screen doesnt look all messed up. So does anyone know how to turn Landscape lockscreen on?
Ove looked through the setting but cant see anything? Perhaps im just being a tard?

Android at its core can support a landscape lockscreen. There are a few apps out there that force rotation even when the app doesn't think it should support it. For example, the Netflix app is ALWAYS portrait when in the menu and ALWAYS landscape during video playback, but I used to use an app called "Ultimate Rotation Control", and it allowed it to do the menu in landscape and the video in portrait. I think the same sort of thing would work for you here, but I must admit that it's been a long time since I've used a lockscreen, so I don't know for sure.
Thanks. Ill take a look.
