Well the issue that I've been experiencing is very frustrating but then again anything I can't figure out on my phone pisses me off I just want to set the same wallpaper for my lockscreen as I have on my home screen however I do not have the same options for the lock screen as in my home screen. I am using Nova Launcher Pro and running JediX. On Nova Launcher I have the option to choose wallpapers that came with my icon pack but do not have the ability to use them for the lockscreen as well. Does anyone know if there is a way to do such a thing? Thanks in advance and I will try to respond quickly If you have questions so that you can help me out a little more.
Are you on a TW Rom? If so, use stock launcher and it will give you the option to set lockscreen wall then go back to Nova.
Well if only gives meimited options when using tpuchwiz launcher. And yes I'm using Jedi X17
Or...... if you can find the wallpapers via gallery or a file manager, just long press and set as wallpaper or lockscreen, or both. Might need to use the menu key instead of longpress but either way the option should still be somewhere. Good luck.
Doesn't work :/ can't find any folder with those in it. For stark at least. The others I know I can since those basically just download photos but the wallpapers for stark are built into the icon pack itself I believe so there are no actual photo files.

Hi,
I have just flashed my SGS2 this evening and so far i am loving the look and performance, but i have one problem, when i go into settings / Display / Screen Display / Lock screen / Wallpaper / and then go into Wallpaper Gallery there are only the stock wallpapers there, from what i read on the Lite'ning forum they have added lockscreen wallpapers but i can not figure out how to apply them.
I notice that if you set home wallpaper it gives you the Lite'ning Wallpaper option which contains all the wallpapers but no such option in the lockscreen settings.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
can anyone help me??
ive been searching google for the past 2 hours and cant find the answer....
When setting wallpapers in stock roms you are being asked if you want to use that pic for lockscreen too, don't know if custom roms use that option.
I would recommend "live wallpaper changer" (or something like this) it's a really great app..
I like to have my wallpaper switched randomly every 5 minutes to another of my 500 pics collection.
also you can double tap the backround to change the actual wallpaper.
When i was on stock rom i had to change each wallpaper, it never asked if i wanted to use as lock wallpaper aswell....
It would be easy to change the lockscreen wallpaper if i knew where they were in my phone system, but i cant seem to find them....
Thanks for your replied

oh you can change the lockscreen in the display options, its pretty hidden but you will find it there.
Yea thats in display / screen display / lockscreen
But there are no lite'ning custom wallpapers eather in wallpaper gallery or gallery
I dont understand it lol because if i set home background it gives me a lite'ning wallpaper option and there they are lol

After some more searching i have come across the lite'ning lockscreen wallpaper, it is in the framework-res.apk but i found it on google images and just saved it to my gallery, i am asuming that his wallpaper should be auto applied when flashed to the device but didnt for me :/

Download the litening wallpapers.apk from the official thread..put it on your phones sdcard..download astro file manager and locate the .apk file. I think if you hold the file it will pop up with a menu and somewhere you can explore the .apk. Then just save the pictures you want from it and use them as your lockscreen
you know i must be bleeding blind, i didnt see the wallpaper apk download link.
I cant believe i have been searching all this time and it was infront of my face.
Thanks for all the help.
Glad to be of help

Saving Pictures to lock screen Wallpaper Gallery
Thanks guys - just what I was looking for. I have saved the lightening pics to my photo gallery so I have been able to locate them and load my new lock screen pic - awesome. However, where would I have to save the files so they are visible in my wallpaper gallery, that way I wont have to look at them each time I goto my photos...
Thanks in advance...
That i dont know, you will have to do a search on net or wait for one of the mega xda dev's to reply

Hi, I've tried to download the wallpapers from the thread page but the file is not there, I've tried from the market but installtion always fail, anybody can tell me why?
I've the litening 1.5 installed, nothing else.
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.
!%#'"§!
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.
Why does it ALWAYS crop my wallpapers, even the factory ones too. I can't find a setting that will disable this and my wallpapers look like ****. Does same thing on aftermarket launchers too.
Some have had luck with certain wallpaper apps and launchers being used in conjunction. What works for me is using an app called "PicSpeed Wallpapers." Download it and then go into your gallery. Find a picture you want as your wallpaper-> menu> set as-> PicSpeed. Here you'll have an option to have it scrollable (doesn't work for me), vertical, or horizontal. Horizontal makes them look like "normal" again. Kind of an extra step but worth it. Hope this helps
My wallpapers look fine. You shouldn't have to use another app. There must be a setting somewhere. I don't think that is standard.
I seem to remember something coming up the first time I opened the wallpapers, but didn't read it and accidently clicked the "do not show me again" box. Any way to restore the wallpaper settings to stock?

OK, I think I figured this out. If you long press on the screen you can pick wallpapers and that is how I always have done it. Now the other way to set the wallpaper is to click the menu button (the physical button) then click wallpapers, then the type of wallpapers and when you select one it gives you the resize option. So play around with that and you should be good to go.

Do you have any other picture management apps installed?
Ive tried both ways and I always get the prompt to resize the wallpaper to the truncated version.
Ive also tried ADW launcher, quick pic, wallpaper wizardii. Nothing seems to work. No scroll. Very annoying.

My guess is that scrollable wallpapers lag this phone so bad that they just disabled it in the kernel. The GPU in this phone is way underpowered for the screen resolution.
adw launcher has always had this issue...had it with my streak as well. i talked to the adw dev about it and he was aware of the issue but couldn't fix it as he didn't have a test unit (and probably didnt want to be bothered with it). i assume other launchers would have similar issues (due to landscape transition sizing)
always used a live wallpaper or found a higher res patterned picture that could be cropped without too much pain.

I'm totally stock and rooted but I don't get the resize option on the screen long press way. Strange!!
No matter how I choose my wallpaper, it does this. If I choose a wallpaper I downloaded for 1280x800 sometimes the orange box is the size of the entire pic and it looks great. But it shouldn't do this with the stock wallpapers.
Something else, If I set the wallpaper during Go launcher and then switch to TW the wallpaper will resize itself and looks perfect.
Hi guys,
I just made the move from a galaxy nexus to a galaxy note.
One of the things i've always been able to do on any of my previous android phones was to have a scroll-able wallpaper.
It seems the stock launcher does not have scrolling? I have also tried 3rd part launchers and they scroll, but its a zoomed in picture.
Is this some side effect of the really large resolution?
I've tried a couple of market apps to set wallpapers and they all do the same thing.
If I go back to the stock launcher then back to a third part launcher the image is fine, but not scroll-able.
Maybe this is because the stock launcher does not scroll, so the image in the 3rd party launchers is trying to scroll the smaller image?
There has to be some sort of edit that can make the wallpaper the correct wide size (1280x2400?) vs just 1280x800

launcher pro
1000% better.. and lag free
I asked this question before and someone referred me to wallpaper wizardrii. Won't work with factory wallpaper and won't scroll either. Download an HD wallpaper app like picspeed wallpapers, favorite (not save) any of the images you want to use later, then exit. Open wallpaper wizzardrii, click top right button, and and scroll down to "Favorite Picspeed Wallpapers". Choose the pic and play with the settings until it looks right on your screen. I shrink the photo all the way down, then use stretch landscape and it looks pretty damn good.
Launcher pro was not the answer for me.
Wallpaper Set and Save in the market. Simple, small, non-intrusive, and sizes them perfectly.

that's the key (when using a different launcher) Use wallpaper wizardrii with the stretch or crop exact setting, and scroll checked.
I still have not found a way to make it scroll on the TW launcher.
I actually prefer mine not to scroll lol
for launcher pro you have to go into the settings and uncheck the no scroll option

Nice. That seemed to work good. Now if the OS can get the scroll function ebnabled. Though it seems ICS might be on the horizon, so this will all probably be fixed in ICS I would hope...
For scrolling wallpapers the only launcher I have found that works is ashell.It is a pretty good little launcher. It runs pretty light and has some good custom options and transitions. Not gonna blow you away like TSF or SPB launchers, but it also is not 20 bucks

I had this issues with GO Launcher EX. I figured out that in the launcher's Preferences --> Visual Settings --> Backgrounds --> Wallpaper mode : select "Vertical screen" mode instead of "Default mode".
Does anyone know of a way to lock the stock launcher desktop. I know I can change launchers that have that feature. But I want to keep stock.
Thanks

Yes, Nova has this feature - - which is great for friends with fumble fingers.
Why keep stock launcher when Nova has that, and more, like icon packs, shadows under icons, different transitions, landscape movement across screens...
I can see keeping stock firmware instead of custom ROM, but keeping stock launcher? Come on, don't be silly.

I just want to keep it things simple as possible and fast. But your prolly right will try the launcher again.
EDIT: I remember why I couldn't switch. I can't use LG widgets with Nova launcher. So I'm trading one thing for another. I can live without desktop lock for now.
