Hello All,
Strange problem, all of a sudden no matter what I try u can't change the lock screen wallpaper. Trying from gallery doesn't work, neither does trying from that lock screen settings. It worked fine about a week ago and when I try it tells me it saved/applied but never changes. I tried going back to stock launcher from Nova just to make sure that wasn't the issue but it had no effect. Any ideas?

Just wanted to update to say I can change my wallpaper by going to settings, lock screen, wallpaper and choosing wallpaper gallery, which is what the phone came pre loaded with. Choosing gallery gets the same result as before... The phone says it changes it but really doesn't.

solved lg g3 lockscreen wallpaper
The problem is with the sd card. It seems that its some kind of abug in the software that reads the files from the sd card.
Just move the files from your ad card to the phone memory, and it will change the Lockscreen wallpaper.
Cheers
Excellent! That was the problem. But this is not happening with home screens wallpaper as these are in my ext card and changing probably!

i had to move my files to internal memory to solve that. googled and i think it was this thread that fix was mentioned.
Use titanium to wipe data in lockscreen settings. This has happened to me on a couple of Lg phones..

Worked for me, thanks!
Found this worked for me:
1. Go to Internal Storage/Preload/
2. Delete the files with names of previous LG Wallpapers.
3. Select your desired wallpaper (mine was a file I made and then put in my internal storage just fyi)
4. Hooray!
Tried restarting my phone, still works.

I am needing help setting live wallpapers on my lockscreen. I am running Jedi-x 16 Rom with Perseus-alpha35 kernel. Prior to installing the custom Rom everything worked fine. This is what happens: I long press on the screen, select "Set Wallpaper" then "Home and Lockscreen" then click on Live Wallpapers, then I get a message stating "TouchWiz Home has stopped." If I try setting it via Settings I get the message that "Settings has stopped." Now if I only chose to set a live wallpaper on my homescreen, it works fine and I am able to do so.
I have tried numerous times to remove LiveWallpapersPicker and reinstall different versions by using Root Explorer, moving the apk file to /system/app, changing the permissions rwx-r-r and rebooting.
Has anyone else ran into similar situations with custom Roms or have any advice for finding a solution?
Maybe try setting just for home screen possibly might fix your problem!!
Not too sure if you, can run a LW on the lockscreen!!
If I'm wrong then someone can correct me on that comment!!
I don't use live wallpapers because they use to much battery anyway! :what:

What I would like to happen is have the LW set for both the lockscreen and homescreen. It is currently set for the home screen. Live wallpapers can be set on the lockscreen. Prior to installing this Rom and kernel I had one set.

Oh ok. Well what might be stopping it from your response. Sounds like it's the kernel causing it not to work like it was B4!

Hi guys, I didn't see a thread like this so I thought I would start one.
I have a problem with the widgets on my GN: when i turn on the phone i get what you see in the pictures instead of the widgets. So I have to restart all widgets. Do you have ideas of what could be the problem? Can someone help me ? Thanks in advance

yes i did it, but every time i turn on the phone widgets disappear and that box appears again. I don't understand where is the problem: if is a launcher problem or a Rom problem or widgets problem...

Most probably a launcher or widget problem
Probably one of two possible scenarios:
1) Your widgets are not compatible with your launcher. (what launcher are you running? what widgets are you trying to load?)
2) You moved the .apks of your widgets to External SD storage and now they won't load. Widgets should be stored on internal storage because they sometimes try to load before the SD card is mounted.

Another possibility is widget data corruption, try clearing the data for the affected widgets.

If you hold the recent apps it will bring up an option for system settings, if you go to your settings that way it will show you the settings in tab form.
Yes that settings go to the rigt one.. But if i click shortcut or in app driver settings gies to list one
sent from me. :]
Hi! This is because LG actually put in 2 different settings apps, one in tab view and the other in list view. You can see this when you change the view for settings in the upper right conrner of the settings app and then look at your recent apps. The thing is that nova launcher, and also a lot of other launchers (Google Now Laucher for example), only have the listed-view settings app in their app drawer. You can get to the tabbed view, as mentioned above, by holding your recents button and selecting settings from there or you can hit the settings button in the upper right corner of your notification pull down tray..
Ohh so thats why...thank you

I just noticed that when using noval launcher ,theres a slight delay after pressing apps like messaging , phone, gallery to launch. After trying back stock launcher, they kind off open instantly. Anyone experience that too ?
Yes i noticed too.
sent from me. :]
This'll help
I whipped this up in tasker. It'll make a shortcut (available in app drawer) to get to the tabbed settings... First run is a little slow to load. You can put it wherever you want (folder, desktop etc)
This helped me alot. I have the LG G Stylo/Rooted/Nova Prime. Setup is great and I keep it with a stock look.
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!

Im on 4.4.2
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
Hey all,
I have searched for this to no avail. Does anyone know of a way to change the lockscreen wallpaper without using the stock OOS launcher? I have tried it while rooted in different ways and it doesn't seem to work. I know I can install a custom ROM and be on my way but I wanted to know about stock. Thanks!
Open picture in Gallery app, three dots in top right corner, set...
I just freeze the app and unfreeze it when i am done

I used an app I usually use to crop photos precisely when setting wallpapers, it turns out to be able to set lockscreen wallpaper as well. When you hit apply it asks lockscreen or home screen pretty simple.
