Hi,
I have set my wallpaper to a static wallpaper, have also changed lockscreen so not running magazine lock, but my wallpaper still changes
Anyone know how to properly stop this from changing on stock rom without using a root fix or changing the rom
this is on the mate 10 pro
thanks

i left lockscreen to magazine, went in
security and privacy, screen lock and password, magazine unlock and removed all subscriptions and autoupdates, and deleted all magazine photos from gallery. you can add your choice for lockscreen photo there, apply one from theme app or apply from gallery.

cheers for that, will see how it goes, i had previously disabled the subscriptions, but not deleted the images from the folder - must be a bug or a setting somewhere that overrides the user settings as everything was disabled, it hadn't changed the picture for a few days so thought I had originally fixed it, hopefully this step has done that
thanks
It changed again, even though everything disabled and no images in magazine unlock folder

have no idea. i just did thise 2 things and applied wallpaper form gallery. didnt change for 10 days. i would use differnt lockscreen style but magazine one is the only that gives me notifications. maybe its firmware bug. and change back to magazine style if you didnt.
Hahaha and i wanna know how to get it back
I have a rooted Mate 10 pro (Magisk root) and the magazine won't be downloaded. I only get the information that there is an update when I go to the menu. I'm not sure whether the root is the reason for that. Could anybody confirm that?

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

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.
!%#'"ยง!
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.
I've looked around here for a while, but I can't find an answer.
I'm using a rooted Tab 10.1. I'm using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to set the five screens, and I have no problem with that.
I do, however, have a problem setting the lock screen wallpaper. I've tried changing it by hitting the + then going to wallpaper, I've tried changing it from the gallery itself, but nothing's working.
The tab flashes for a second as if it's changing wallpapers, but then when I got to the lock screen, the default one is still there. It's not a huge deal as it obviously doesn't affect how the tab actually works, but it's annoying that something so simple isn't working properly.
Any ideas here?
edit: and yes, I've tried setting the lockscreen wallpaper from within Multipicture Live Wallpaper. Still not working. :\
thanks!

On Stock Touch Wiz UX, you have two options when you change the wallpaper, it will ask if you want to change Home Screen or Lockscreen, you can have two different ones but it seems live wallpapers or "wallpaper apps" outside of Gallery can cause bugs in this preventing the wallpaper from changing or even displaying properly. Sometimes on mine when I change it, (its random when this happens too) is, the wallpaper sometimes gets cut off on the edges with a huge black crop, I have to switch to portrait and then back to Landscape for the wallpaper to display properly, I've noticed it only does it with Wizidrii Wallpaper app installed, it must do some sort of modification to the wallpaper settings that causes it, once I uninstall it, the wallpapers work perfectly fine. Using the multipicture Live Wallpaper could be affecting the Lockscreen settings preventing it from changing, what I recommend would be to try changing the lockscreen FIRST before using the Live Wallpaper your trying to set with the lockscreen of your choice.
I would try using just regular images instead of live wallpapers to see if that affects it also, a rooted rom could be the culprit too since custom Honeycomb ROM's are glitchy at best since Google never released its source code yet.
Should have mentioned, even when I use a normal wallpaper, like one that came with the tab, I still cannot set the lockscreen.
I'm using the default ROM, just rooted it.

Have you tried just going to Settings -} Screen-} ScreenDisplay... And changing the wallpaper from there?
I have perrty much the same setup your running except in not rooted. On a side note, I don't have any issues with setting my lockscreen wallpaper using any method. Could it have something to do with root?

Got the same problem with Overcome Rom installed, can't change the lockscreen wallpaper, tried all ways, via Gallery, Settings, Multi Live Wallpaper, it simply remains the orange stock one, only if i try it via MLW after unlocking the device the selected wall flashes for a split second....anyone got an idea about that?
Having the same issue with Task's ROM. I can change the regular wallpaper fine, going it settings-screen and changing there does nothing. It goes through the process but when you return, nothing has changed. Even rebooted after changing to see if it needed that and I can't change that paper.
Hi,
It is more app development question, but as I mostly reader and don't post a lot - I have no access to dev forums yet.
I have my own wallpaper app (Awesome Nature Wallpapers) and noticed that it can't set wallpaper for lock screen when it runs on SGS3. When I test it on different phones (my old SGS1, GT7.7, Motorola Defy+, some Huawei phone and emulator) it is working fine - lock screen is transparent and wallpaper is visible, but not on SGS3.
Does anybody now how to change SGS3 lock screen background programmatically (I mean not from settings)?
Thanks in advance!

Need to use the stock gallery. QuickPic can do it as well but you still need to crop the photo using the Gallery's editor otherwise it won't work. Another option is to download a really old app called Wallpaper Set & Save. Works really well.

Sorry, I probably didn't explain properly - I'm not looking for another app to do it. I'm looking for a way to do it from my own app which I'm developing. Standard Android methods of changing wallpaper don't work for S3 lock screen background...
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.
