I'm having trouble adding images from my computer to the gallery on my OG. Is there a specific place I need to put them in order to view them and set them as my Lockscreen Wallpaper? I've tried moving them around on the internal storage but have had no luck. Do I need to put them in the system files or what?
Are they already on your device? If so, can you view them via the gallery? If so, open the image you want, then hit menu, set as, then lock screen.

In addition to the above, for organizational purposes, in the internal storage, find the pictures folder. Inside there, create a folder named Lockscreen. Place images in there. This is not necessary, but may help in locating the files more easily.

No, they are on my computer that I edited on "Gimp". I don't know what file to put them in so that they will be recognized in the "Gallery".

I know how to set the wallpaper I just don't know what file to put them in and in what format that would be best so that my phone will recognize it as a Gallery image.

I've placed the images in a number of folders from my computer to my OG and nowhere will it recognize the images as a gallery image when I try to access them from the "Lockscreen" menu. All my images are in JPEG format.

After updating to JB, my lockscreen image is stuck too. I can only change to a wallpaper gallery image. I cannot change to any other gallery images: regardless of which image I choose or what folder it is in, it will not change unless it is a wallpaper gallery image. I select a new image, set it to lockscreen image, and the old image remains.
This is a bug.
After researching, it looks like factory loaded lock screen wallpapers are incorporated into the .apk for the lock screen. That's weird that you are having problems getting custom images to stick. I had never tried it before because I like the car wallpaper, but I just successfully changed my lock screen image to this:
I have the same issue. When I select a picture from the gallery and resize it reverts back to a stock locksceen image.

Ok, I placed the jpeg images in the DCIM folder and I also took a picture to see if it would show up. The picture showed up in the gallery but the images I copied to the file did not. CRAP!!! I don't get it. I'm running the latest "Lifeless JB" rom. I hope someone finds a fix for this soon.

Are you running "Lifeless" too?
I hate to ask but while the topic is still on Lockscreen wallpaper. I feel like asking a question regarding this.
Is it possible to have multiple wallpapers for the lockscreen?
By this I mean you have Wallpaper1 as a lockscreen. Then if you turn off the screen then when you turn on the phone again then Wallpaper2 will appear? Is this possible?

Not with "Lifeless" Rom at the moment. I would suggest asking the developer of the Rom to include it in the next upgrade or instruct you on how to do it.
However, I think I also remember seeing a "Lockscreen Launcher" app that had that feature but I can't be sure.
I tried installing images everywhere....still no luck. Changing it one time to a gallery image automatically changed it to my google account pic, WHAT THE HELL? If anyone else is having this issue I think it would be best to let the developer know its definitely a "bug", unless there's a genius out there with a quick fix.
i had to do a factory reset to fix my lock screen. its a nuisance but worth it to have my personal picture as the lock screen

Crap, thats what I was afraid I would have to do. Oh well, I guess any fix is better than none. I PM'ed the developer on this issue so maybe he'll come up with another fix one of these days for the Rom.

I don't think its a ROM issue because it happened to me when I upgrade to jb.

The application I want to talk about is PicSpeed Wallpapers.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zcnNkZXYud2FsbHBhcGVycyJd
A promising application which offers pretty good wallpapers, in my opinion. However it is more than a simple wallpaper application... Not special in a sense where it gives you super exam cheating skills (which I so desperately need right now)... but it gives you MUCH better cropping for your wallpapers in the Gallery app .
So how do you use it and how much better is it? Well to use it start by getting a Wallpaper. So once you got that on your phone go ahead and open up the Gallery. Find and tap on the image. Now hit the menu button and select "Set picture as" (on ICS) or whatever you need to click to set a wallpaper. You will notice a pop-up comes up. The normal options would be contact photo and wallpaper (and maybe whatever else you have), but now we are introduced with the option of "Set as Wallpaper" - with the PicSpeed icon beside it. So tap it (of coarse). Underneath the image will be three images. The first (left) crops the image to use just the middle (based on dimensions) and is not a scrollable Wallpaper. The second (middle) gives you the traditional full-use of the wallpaper in a scrollable state. The one that is most interesting is the last (right) option. This one offers a custom crop. Which means you can make the wallpaper scrollable or not and perfectly set the crop to whatever you want. So once you use the right custom option go ahead and hit the set option underneath it to the far right.
I think that is amazing finally a way to break the terrible cropping options the Gallery gave us. At first when PicSpeed released an earlier version the wallpaper would auto resize and mess up the image. They have updated the app since then and I no longer have to re-set the wallpaper on boot. Another bug I noticed is I cannot set a Wallpaper 'properly' with the traditional set wallpaper function my phone offers me, after I use PicSpeed to set a "custom" crop. This is easily fixable. Go into Gallery and the set the wallpaper with PicSpeed (again) with the Wallpaper with the traditional (middle) option. Or you can just reboot your phone, either way works.
Well yeah I just wanted to share this new amazing application with you all . You're welcome all! No more terrible cropping options YAAAAY!

Simpler way
I found that the Galaxy app in the S3 only crops to portrait too. Simplest way I found was to extract the Galaxy2.apk from a Nexus and install it on the S3 (or replace it entirely) and us it to set the background. You then get the portrait and landscape cropping so you can then have a decent scrollable home screen wallpaper.

You have to install a different launcher to make the scrollable background work.
May you share that galaxy2.apk please?

I dont know if this thread is still active, but I have been running into issues lately with pic speed. I have used it for a while (on my original vibrant) but now im getting issues. Im trying set an image as my background and crop it. Works fine. Crops for me I get it smack dab center and everything is nice. I turn on the scroll function because I just want the static image. Spits out the image and my wallpaper is great, but as soon as I turn the phone into landscape mode, regardless if im in an app or not the image gets distorted and its annoying as balls. Can anyone help me out?
No one know about this app

Hi all.
I have some questions regarding the new camera app in 4.2.
Why is there a difference between the camera I open from the lock screen widget and the actual camera out of the menu? For example when I take a picture with the widget camera, swipe to the left so have a look at the picture, I can only "delete" it. There are not the regular options like "share" or anything. I first have to go back, unlock, open gallery, find picture and then "share". Why is this??
Also, when I take a picture and afterwards have a look at it in the gallery, it actually captured more of the thing I wanted to take a picture of (I think about 10% at top, bottom, left, right). Has anybody else this issue?
And of course, the very frustrating lag when turning the device from landscape into portrait or vice versa, but like I read in other topics this is everybody's issue.
Thanks all!

That is for security reasons. Otherwise anybody who gets a hold of your phone could share your pictures anywhere he wants. If you disable your unlocking option (or set it to "move finger") you'll get the full menu including the icons for sharing.

This was most likely the reason.
But, correct me if I'm wrong, the camera can only be accessed via the 'Slide' screen lock, which isn't secure at all.

Yeah you're wrong. There is a huge camera icon sitting on the first page of the menu. I don't think anyone will miss that.
Why have the real time face effects in video recording been removed?

The camera actually take more than what we view on screen. That's annoying when I take a close up picture, it become farther view than what we seen on screen

you can also acces the camera using a lock pin. i didn't try with other security means (pattern, faceunlck, etc..) but i guess it's the same thing. personally, i like this feature a lot.
Title says it all. Cannot change my lock screen to anything but one of the stock wallpapers (there are maybe five of those...the dandelion, the water, the leaf with water droplets, etc.). I cannot change it to any other image in my phone.
I've tried clearing the Gallery cache and data as suggested in the Note 2 forum where someone else was having this problem. Doesn't work. It's not a big enough deal for me to go flashing roms or anything just to fix it, but I'd like to be able to change this!
I was having same issue... I'm using Quickpic as my gallery.
I had to clear settings to allow me to use the stock gallery to select the wallpaper and edit it.
You didn't mention if you were using stock gallery or not.
Then set Quickpic as default again and no issues.

If you're using the note 2 gallery you have to select the photo you want from the gallery and choose the option of "set picture as" otherwise it will force close.
just confirmed that will work!
I know this has been asked before, but nobody helped me on the other related threads. I'm not going to have a computer this weekend for a while that's why I need help now. It'd be gratefully appreciated. I deleted the stock gallery app, and now I cant change my lock screen wallpaper. Where could I download the stock version of 3d gallery? I downloaded a random one, and I think I that was another mistake because when I try to change my lock screen wallpaper through setting > display > lock screen wallpaper > choose from gallery, a message appears that reads unfortunately settings has stopped. I'm not sure if I'm suppose to get a certain version of the app to make it work. How do I fix this? I'm running ICS 4.0.4.

You need the stock gallery app....
I think I played too much with apps that changed lock screen photo cause now Im stuck with one and cant change it. I purged the gallery data which effected in changing the wallpaper onto default one (the kid with the balloons on the meadow) but still not much I can do. My phone is rooted. I didnt use QuickPic or any other apps to view my pics, only the Stock one. Any ideas?

There is a bug on 4.2.2 that you cannot change the lockscreen wallpaper if you have the Ripple effect. Other than that I have no clue, maybe a senior person can guide you!

Go to gallery and choose any pic of choice and set it as home+lock wallpaper.
It will change the lock wallpaper too.

Good to know that You dont take people as idiots. No I didnt try that. c'mon :/
Ive got rooted phone. Just made hard reset, cleaned cache as well... problem still exists :/
I am able to change the wallpaper for animated one (as long as I pick home and lock screens together), but then when I change it to normal one it goes straight to the default.
Can anyone tell me where is the default one kept? Im gonna delete it (or move it) and see what happens.
Im on rooted stocked system android 4.4.2 and I have the same bug with being unable to change the lock screen while on unlocking the screen with ripple effect :/ bummer
