Is there a way to add live wallpaper to the lock screen. It has always been a feature on my previous Samsung phones (Note 3 and S3).
It seems that the hold up is the wallpaper chooser excludes the live wallpaper folder. Is there a wallpaper chooser app that will allow changes to wallpaper and lock screen wallpaper?
Googled it, because i want my lockscreen wallpaper to match my home screen (just like SGS, yeah). Someone on Phandroid forums says he emailed LG and they replied that it's not possible. Stupid restriction IMO. Hope one day we'll find a workaround.

I've searched around but not been able to find anything relating to what i'm looking for. Basically I was wondering if it is possible to get custom wallpaper weather animations on sense 2.1 without changing the wallpaper for the rest of the manila tabs?
I've been using the BG4All cab which works well, but due to the hd wallpaper im using, it creates alot of lag in tabs such as the photo and contact tabs. So therefore it would be nice to be able to use the hd wallpaper with weather animations for the home screen, but to keep the plain black background for all the other tabs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Just to point out, ive tried one cab (the kimi-sae-ireba-sense2.1weatherwallpaper) and even though this allowed custom wallpaper weather animation on just the home tab, there were a few issues.
The time overlapped the text when sliding down on the home tab
Landscape did not work properly
The wallpaper was compressed and much more blurry
So basically just looking for a cab that allows high quality wallpaper on just the home tab while maintaining weather animations
Look what I found using search

Thanks for your reply.. even tho it was probably intended as an insult
I used the search function and found that too.. but it doesn't do what I asked for.
Id like to be able to use the high quality wallpaper of choice on just the home page with weather animation. But they only offer custom ready made wallpapers and weathermod also included in that post doesnt do what I asked either.
Hi Guys,
Just started using Sense 4.0. Stupid question... much like the previous versions of Sense, the weather animations (wipers when raining, clouds across the screen, and etc...) that used to show up on the screen when the phone was unlocked; has Sense 4 gotten rid of these animations?
I mean, I see the weather animations in the clock/weather app, the Weather lock screen, but not the animations that used to show up on the home screen, after the phone was unlocked... Is that gone in Sense 4? Can someone confirm? Thank you.
The full screen animations are selected when you add a weather widget, such as the default clock. Just remove the clock, and add it again, it'll give you the option
No it hasn't gone from sense 4.0, you just need to remove the clock widget and then add it to the home screen again and it will give you the option to enable full screen weather animations. Hope this helps.
Edit: looks like edge3uk just beat me to it.
Hi
Yes you can get weather animations, you have a couple of choices:
On the Lock Screen
Go to Settings - Personalise - Lock Screen and select Weather. Now whenever you turn your phone on you get a weather animation for your location.
As a wallpaper
Go to Settings - Personalise - Wallpaper - Live Wallpapers and select the Weather
Note that these options, especially the live Wallpaper will be using a little bit more battery power then viewing a static wallpaper image, of course that only impacts you if the phone spents a lot of time on with the wallpaper on show.
Another option, generally more accurate, in real 3D, is to look out of a window or go outside Yes I too have animated weather, it just looks cool lol.
Edit: and another way is to use the widget as already posted, so that makes 3 so far.

It is off by default. Just long press the clock&weather widget and push it to edit, click your current location, and tick show full screen animation.
Guys,
thank you for ALL your wonderful replies! Indeed, the animations work for me now, BUT, I cannot figure out what "triggers" them on the home screen... they just happened randomly, I can't deliberately kick em off...
For example in earlier Sense versions, the way to kick it off was, EVERY time you unlocked the phone, and the home screen had the Weather clock, the animations would go....
That doesn't happen in Sense 4, can someone confirm this or tell me what I am missing?
Thanks again!
well for me they only appear after unlock.

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?

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?
Hi guys,
I bought a GS9+ over the weekend, hated it's camera and exchanged it for a Pixel 2 XL.
One feature I did like was the ability to set a video to the lock screen wallpaper.
I've found a few apps that can set a video to a live wallpaper but they can only set the home wallpaper or both. I've yet to find an app that can set the lock screen wallpaper independently of the home screen wallpaper like Google photos does.
Any ideas?
Ta,
Kris
Few issues on my wallpaper changing,
first one is the way it need to change to live wallpaper is to applied a theme with live wallpaper on it first, and then i can only change my desired live wallpaper, which also applied to home screen together, if i just use the default theme without live wallpaper, i cant change to live wallpaper, applied theme, nothing happen.
second issue is when i changed the lock screen live wallpaper which also applied together to my home screen wallpaper, it changes back to default theme lock screen wallpaper and home screen wallpaper after 3 or 4 days.
You guys had these issues? Any Fix?
