I have been searching around for a way to automatically change the lockscreen wallpaper. I have Samsung Galaxy S4. It has a lockscreen wallpaper called "travel wallpaper" which does this but has major limitations (can't select the images myself, uses mobile data). I ahve tried other wallpaper changer apps / live wallpapers, but they only change the homescreen wallpaper not the lockscreen.
I do have WidgetLocker and added some widget that did the trick... but I am trying to go back to the stock lockscreen since WidgetLocker hasn't been reliable for me (it only works sometimes, others the stock lockscreen shows up. Also WidgetLocker doesn't have media controls.

hi
can i choose one wallpaper as lockscreen default wallpaper???
my regards
Good question,i'm confusing on it too...
we can change the lockscreen wallpaper by widgetlocker app
yes but we need it on orginally framework not in a app widgetlocker isnt an originally lockscreen its only a app which is making it as a lockscreen :/
My brother's phone (GT-S5570) has this option in which he can set different wallpaper for lockscreen and homescreen with inbuilt feature. here is a screenshot. My phone (GT-i5801) doesnt have this feature either.
EDIT: Well, I'm not sure if its because of additional app that he installed, but he said it was there from before.

Does your lockscreen give you an option to unlock or camera?
If so that is AOSP and it won't work with the weather widget.
I am sure it can be fixed but I have no idea and haven't attempted.
If your not using it then no idea, I thought he kept the files for it to work.
Ya i am sorrry, i do have that screen
I have the Accuweather app and the AOKP lockscreen and the 1x4 wiget works fine. Or are you trying to use the weather wiget on the lockscreen? Try the 1x4 on the home screen and use no background collor...

There is a lockscreen weather widget included with the official builds.
Which is also in the Settings.apk for you to turn on and off but only works on Samsung lockcreen.
Your way is the only easy workaround as of now, I suggested it for others.

The Samsung (Circle) lock screen is an add on in the second post of the SHOstock2 thread. So if you want to use the weather on your lock screen you can change to the other lock screen. The clock position in the settings also only applies to the circle lock screen. You don't need the accuweather widget installed for the weather on the circle lock screen to work.

Is there any application or mods to automatically change lockscreen wallpaper randomly every X minutes?
I have installed tasker but I don't know how to do this with tasker.
any help will be appreciated
Update: there is a live wallpaper that does that for lockscreen but the problem is the touchwiz lock screen dims the live wallpaper
Thanks
have you tried photo wall live wallpaper which is installed by default? you may have but it doesnt give you control over the time in which wallpaper will change

Thanks but photolive wallpaper changes lock screen wallpaper automatically?
Is there anyway to prevent lockscreen dimming the live wallpapers?
photowall changes wallpaper automatically for homescreen and lockscreen. Screen dimming is due to the circular lockscreen, if you want that changed you may have to edit framework or install a lockscreen app like widgetlocker

I'll try photowall
but widgetlocker can only show LWPs if the home screen has one set. I want it only on my lockscreen
Nevermind, I'm an idiot, expected to see these settings in the Lockscreen menu but they were in the Display.

Is anyone else having issues with this? I've tried changing my lockscreen wallpaper to several different images from my gallery but it always stays the stock one.
Edit: Found the fix. I had to clear the application defaults for QuickPic im pretty sure you have to use the stock Gallery app to crop your Lock screen wallpaper
I'm using the stock ROM, and I simply can not change lockscreen picture.
I can change the whole theme, I can change icons, but I can't change the lockscreen picture (when I click on the designated picture, nothing happens - except a black square quickly coming from right side that quickly disappears)
(Same issue with wallpaper, but I'm using Nova, so this is not a problem)
What can I do? Thanks?
Set default launcher - MIUI launcher. Set lockscreen wallpaper. Set default launcher - Nova launcher. My friend help this.
