I'm an Xperia S user btw.
This is just wrong, I'm wondering why I can't find other people talking about this problem. Am I really the only one having it?
The problem is that once you've changed the lock screen wallpaper, it will never be the one that is automatically activated when you set your theme. I had this issue on ICS.
Then I got an update to JB and the lock screen wallpaper was again the one that is associated with the theme that is activated. Later I decided to try changing the wallpaper again after doing it on ICS the last time and.. the same problem arose.
Whenever I change my theme, the lock screen image doesn't react.
How can I get rid of this problem? Is it even possible?
Thanks.
i have that
there is no fix
i just copy my wallpapers from the system to my sdcard and select them through the album
the images can be found somewhere in /system/etc

So, I've seen that LWP aren't exactly "smooth", but that got me thinking.
I don't need interactivity in my wallpapers, I just want them to move
So I tried setting a .gif as a wallpaper, but it doesn't move past the first image.
So the questions is: How can you set a .gif as a wallpaper (so that it moves)
You cant

Are you asking about the wallpaper scrolling between homescreens. If yes, GIF wallpapers also scroll.
And the color quality of GIF will be low.

No he wants moving wallpaper (with animations) but not "live", in other words he wants to put animation as his wp, so it moves, but you cant interact with it.

There was an app that did this. It created an "Empty Livewallpaper" and allowed you to put your animated GIF in it, essentially doing what you are looking for. However, it seems to have been pulled from the market. (Obviously, the reviews were not that good)
It's the closest I can think of. More details here:

well wally was removed from market but i found an app called animGIF livewallpaper 2 but, unfortunately you need live wallpaper support so if your looking not for interactiveness on custom roms but just for the looks of a gif id suggest getting that and getting a live wallpaper compatible rom.
I`ve installed LauncherPro plus on stock 2.2.2, but when i change wallpaper it doesn`t look so good, the transition between the collors are too visible, and thats the problem with some widgets (Fancy Widget). I also had this expirience on MIUI, but not on CM7...
Here's the picture ...

i cant see it being launcher pros fault, looks like your phone is running at a lower colour depth for some reason.
I remember having similar issues back on froyo. This occurs when you use the stock 'gallery' app to set wallpapers (which IIRC is what menu -> wallpaper will use). The solution is to use literally anything else to set your wallpaper. Wallpaper Set And Save by Onarres Solutions is a good one for wallpapers you have stored on your phone. For other online wallpaper, I have used Zedge and HD Wallpapers with success.
Or the wallpaper chosen is small in size/resolution which got stress up to fill up the defy screen.

But I don't have this problem on adw launcher, or stock miui, or stigma gingerbread. Only on LP.

Try: Preferences>Advanced Settings> and then enable "High quality scrolling". Maybe this solves your problem
Still the same... :/
Might be the problem I had. When you set the wallpaper, drag the orange box to cover the entire image.
hey, how can i change only the lock sreen wallpaper?
I don't think you can, but could be wrong as although I got my GN this morning I'm still in work and only turned it on once to get the OTA update
it cant be done by default, i use WidgetLocker, the latest update has the ICS lock which you can customize to open other apps or change settings as well as just unlock and camera like the stock one and you can of course have an secondary wallpaper just for the lock sceen
Hi,
WidgetLocker is the best way to change wallpaper and design of your Lockscreen.
You can add widget and custom sliders.
I use WidgetLocker since I had my first android phone
yeah, widgetlocker (and maybe some other custom lock screens) allow you to change you lock screen wallpaper.
your only other option is to Root and install a custom ROM which allows this feature by default...like AOKP
Euroskank kangs have this cherry picked. Should be in cm9 nightly soon.

So when the s2 was made, I guess Samsung decided to have two separate wallpapers. One for the lockscreen and one for the homescreen.
I hate this new feature of the s2. I use a wallpaper changer to change my wallpaper every 15 minutes because I get bored of seeing the same thing over and over, but I spend a fair chunk of time just opening up the phone with the lockscreen so I want it to change randomly too.
What roms don't have this feature? I know cm7 doesn't, but the only builds I found hardly work. Blu Ray doesn't, but I'm not a fan of its looks.
Idk about the lockscreen, but you can have a live wallpaper that changes the image which ever way you want it with. It's called multipicture live wallpaper

hi guys,
so ive just came from a galaxy s4. oneplus 3 is a masive step up. This may sound stupid but how do i change the lock screen wallpaper, there where many ways to do it on the S4 but i just cant find a way to do it on the oneplus 3, thanks in advance
Long press empty space on display, pick wallpaper on lower left, it shows 2 wallpapers and you toggle between lock (L) and home (R)

I tried and could not for the life of me find where to set lockscreen wallpaper, I can only find the option to change desktop to whatever I wanted.
I CAN however, change the lockscreen background to one of my ugly photos that I took, but not the stock wallpapers if I use gallery to set it.
The main thing I really wanted to do is to change the lock screen wallpaper to a dynamic wallpaper called Starfield 2, it is a black background with start wizzing by type of wallpaper, and more likely than not it would be saving energy on an AMOLED display. Plus, they just looked so much better than a standard bright and colorful wallpaper that never changes.
I dont think u can do live wallpapers on the lockscreen

I uninstalled the stock gallery already so I can't check there, but if I go into my gallery (QuickPic) I can select a picture, then go to the top right three dots, "Use as" and then I have to option to set it as lockscreen picture.

not on oneplus 3, but you can do that easily on Sony Xperia Z2 and other products (I got Z2 and Z4 tablet here, both does that just fine).
Does anyone know, how to change wallpaper without stock launcher?
Or better, how to set system to use the same wallpaper for lockscreen as my launcher?
I know that this is an old thread, but I'd like to see on lockscreen the same wallpaper I set on the system.
Is there a way on OOS 3.2.6?

same way you set your home screen wallpaper
Anyone found a solution? I want to use the google wallpaper apps daily backgrounds but it can't apply lockscreen wallpapers, only homescreen. Can we just delete the lockscreen wallpaper with a root explorer?
