Is there a way to change the background of the lockscreen ?
The only way I've found is to use an app such as QuickPic, etc. that will let you view your desired wallpaper and then 'Set As..." save option to set it as the Lockscreen.
The stock Gallery app and File manager itself allow us to set a lock screen wallpaper on Oxygen OS.
Open an image there and you will see Set As option at the top right. It will give you a list of options to which you would want to assign that image

Hi all,
I'm doing wallpaper application. I want to set own wallpaper for my home screen programmatically. But home screen has 3 view as left view ,current view and right view. Can anyone tell how to set individual wallpaper for every view.
I've never seen it done before, probably because the image for each pane on the the homescreen overlaps (so say you scroll the the next pane 480pix horizontally, the wallpaper might only move 200pix).
I think you can force Android to accept the non-default aspect ratio for wallpapers using an app like wallpaper set and save. So you could make an image with with the following dimensions: heigh * (width * # of panes), then the area of the background will directly correlate with the area on the pane.
Thank you. Is it possible to set wallpaper without scroll a screen. I need to display only one image in current view. bcoz when i set wallpaper, part of images hide in left and right side. So i cant view full image.
You just a static wallpaper that's the same for all panes?
Grab an image that's the correct resolution for your display and set it with 'wallpaper set & save', it's a free app on the market.
Look in the market for "multipicture live wallpaper". You can set each of your screens to whatever wallpaper you like. It also has various effects you can use while flipping through each screen. Fantastic free app!
I'm not sure if that's what you wanted but...

I finally found a live wallpaper that I find useful. MultiPicture Live Wallpaper allows you to set a different image for each homescreen. This lets you make better use of pictures of family and friends. It has other features, including using a folder to display your pictures at random, transition effects, and changing the wallpaper with a double tap of the homescreen.
You can set a default image and settings and then change the image and settings for each screen. If you want a screen to act as a slideshow you can set it as an album or folder screen and then set the selection order. If you have double tap to change turned on you can change the image just by tapping on the screen. No more opening a gallery app to show off your pictures.
If you use a home replacement that lets you disable homescreen background scrolling make sure you turn that setting off so that the images will change when you change homescreens.
This app does increase battery use, but I can still make it through a full day with my phone. YMMV.
Love this app. Many wallpapers on my device and never bored!
Hi,
I have a strange problem. When I try to change the wallpaper of the default lockscreen on SGSIII, nothing happens. I get to set the crop size in gallery and then it returns to the settings....without the logscreen wallpaper being changed.
Anyone else experiencing this and know how to fix it?
Are you using the stock gallery to crop the wallpaper or using another app? I also had that trouble but was using a 3rd party app to crop like quickpic and it wouldnt save. I then tried the stock gallery and it worked fine.

I have the choice between "gallery" and "wallpaper" and I have tried both of them without any luck.

What im really trying to say is that after you click gallery and find the picture you want to use as a wallpaper for the lock screen. did it ask you to complete the action using another program to crop it? like did you install another gallery app? if you did install another gallery app, did you set that as default action? because if you set another program as default, or using another program to "crop" it and not using the stock gallery app, it may not work. if you did set another program as default to crop it, you may need to go into that app and clear defaults in settings => application manager, then use the stock gallery app to crop the picture

You were absolutely right. Another gallery app had taken over the crop part so even though I used the samsung gallery app for selection of the wall paper, the cropping was still done by the other app.
Clearing defaults helped solving that.
Thanks a mill.

I had this same issue as well when I first got my phone, good tip Thanks!
I also noticed that if you uninstall the stock Gallery app, the wallpaper chooser force closes when you try to change the lockscreen wallpaper. Not your issue here, but maybe someone else will stumble across this who is having the same issue I just spent 30 minutes fighting with.
Request to all chef's who develop custom ROM please do include an option to add app in the lock screen like Bing which is there for rainbow mod:laugh:

It is part of wp7.8, you don't need something else to do it...
I have custom rom 7.8 and don't see this option. we can only change wallpaper to bing or to selected picture.
After upd lockscreen app (Lock Widgets 2) from Jaxbot you can use it - works good.

If you have unlocked device of course.
I think I must be doing something wrong. I have installed Lock Widgets 2 and have given it root access. When I open it, it alerts me with "Background Agent running". Then when I check my lockscreen, there is no change. I dont even get an option to configure widgets.

There's a Settings screen right when you start the app. It allows you to select the preset widgets, where you can set your location for weather, set the wallpaper and to select the Weather, RAM, SMS and Battery widgets.
To get the widgets to show up on the Lock Screen... You have to select and set a wallpaper from the LockWidgets settings. Once you select the wallpaper, (whether it's a personal wallpaper or the Bing wallpaper) then Fire the BG Agent again....wait for confirmation that the BG Agent Fired. If it tells you that "BG Agent... I was told to cancel" just Re-Fire the BG Agent again. Now exit LockWidgets and active the lock screen and the widgets will be there.
If your not seeing the LockWidgets settings screen then there's a problem, probably with the install. Unistall and reinstall LockWidgets.
Maybe try a different source to sideload it, like WP Bazaar or DevStore8.
Hi there
Whenever I install an app a new page gets created and the shortcut for app goes on that page, even though the three pages/screens already have a lot of space left.
Is there a setting somewhere which would stop adding the shortcut after creating a new screen.
Launcher and all settings are factory based with original Samsung firmware.
Thank you for your time.
Go to home settings and untick "Add apps to home screen". That way whenever you install a new app, no shortcut is created. If you still want to have a shortcut made but limited to adding to current screens instead of creating a new page, I have no idea on that.

I know how to disable, what I'm looking for is how to get shortcuts on current page.
