How can I set a video as a wallpaper for Home Screen? - Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods

I know the phone allows video wallpapers for the lockscreen but how can I do it for the home screen? Which app do you recommend?

Video for Homescreen

An app called Retrowave makes it easy. Well worth the .99 cents it costs. It takes a few minutes before you will realize how nice that app really is though

Yeah in the new update, i also download homescreen 3d and has a awsome 3d Drawer but it lacks of a homescreen.
Also cannot find any sleep effects....
Another Question... Is there any hacks or something to put sounds when i Lock or unlock my phone?

Turn on the 3d drawer in launcher pro menu/preferences/advanced settings then use 3d drawer. I turned my opening speed all the way down.
Check out a gingerbread rom(like cm7) they have a screen off animation.
On thing I want to point out is that they have the speed on that turned WAY up

Theres a bunch of stuff you can do for lock/unlock sounds. go to settings/sound and check screen lock sounds. Below is a tutorial to replace the stock unlock sound via root explorer(if you don't want to pay for root explorer you look up how to push stuff with adb), be warned though they don't work out as well as you would like. Like when I did mine way back in the yesteryear of summer/fall I got some stuttering about every 10-15 times i did it, which was obnoxious cause I had the star trek communicator sound.

No more forced cropping on wallpapers

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

Glovebox - Edge app

Wonderful app that uses the edge very well for edge swipes. I bought the paid app a long time ago so I don't know what the free version offers (if there even is one lol)
Once you get it set up with the icon packs and folders it's great. I've completely removed all apps and folders from my home screen.
here are a few screen shots.

Nice find, lots of customization even in the free version, Cheers
Very nice!! I bought the full version!! We MUST support good developers (IMHO)
I bought the full version as well!!
supporting development is a must!
One thing that I am VERY excited about is coupling this with Zooper Widgets, and PopUp Widget!!
I'll post pics of what I come up with.

Definitely loads of potential with those 2 apps involved.

It doesn't really use the Edge though. Looks like the icons are much bigger than the edge size, aren't they?
Super app but does not use the edge

Amazing app. Bought it after using it for 2 minutes. Thanks for sharing
The Best Edge App I've ever had. Makes other apps gimmicks.
And I really like the floating widget.
This + Action Launcher == Widget Master.

try Apps Bar same thing smaller icons
when you search spell out Apps with the S for some reason with out the S it didnt show up in the first searches i did:good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=infamous.apps.appsbarfree&hl=en
Another +1 for Glovebox! I tried Apps Bar too -- it was nice but Glovebox has more customization. FluffyR's comment about XS density is exactly what i needed/wanted. Also the fact that it supports icon packs is excellent, i'm using the one i have with Nova Launcher.
Always buy full version. We have a good amount of good devs and the more we support the more good devs we'll have in the future. Great app dn good find OP
This app is amazing and smoother than any other side bar app.

I like it a lot, but sometimes it takes a while to open apps from it, anybody else experience the same?
If I open the app from the drawer it opens straight away, so I expect it to be caused by Glovebox...

I loved the app but looks like there's some issue with my phone or I'm missing out some settings. I have the clock widget on my phone and whenever I use it, it starts from the bottom of it and doesn't covers the whole soon rather just the part below the clock widget. The same happens in the app drawer as well, would love a solution for that.

I am facing the same issue, it takes longer to open a app from glovebox than opening the same app from homescreen even when the app is in the recent app list.
It takes even longer if you have cleared all running apps and then you open a app from glovebox. Another than this lag issue rest all great.
I already bought the app and used it but went back to the old homescreen setup since it took so long to switch between and open new apps

Applying Live Wallpaper on Note7?

Does anyone know how to apply live wallpaper on Note 7? I can't seem to figure out, live wallpapers are not showing under the Wallpaper and Themes option.

I couldn't find the option either. Knowing I don't like the stock launcher anyway, I went to my trusty old nova prime. I wanted the stock look with more function so I also added the "MeeUI HD Icon pack" free from the play store, to get the rounded system wide icons. Then with nova, just long press the back button and on the far right there is an option for live wallpapers. Sorry I couldn't answer your question but hope this workaround helps.
Just open the live wallpaper like an app, then click open and apply as usual.

I can get live wallpapers on the home screen but there is no option for running the same on the lockscreen. I am coming from the S7E and that phone had the option.
Yes you correct, .... I am having the same issue ... live wall paper cannot be applied to the Lock Screen ... seems to have no Options to do so.
Samsung !!! why !!!
Any one have a work around ?
Nada on this ??
One of my employees has a live wallpaper working on her lock screen of her AT&T Note 7. I'll have to ask her how she got it to work. She told me she got it through the theme store. I'll find out more tomorrow.

It seems to me that Samsung is trying to make us buy stuff through the theme store in order to get the functionality..... that makes me SAD...
So there are live themes in the theme store. It defintiely seems like that is exactly what Samsung is pulling as mostly all of them are not free. I just found the one she is using and the locksreen is live.

If you type in (live) into the search field it will come up with a few live locksreen wallpapers. So it looks like it limited to using the theme store only. Kinda cool helix one with a video attached in the description.

Well that's cool ..... But I guess I find it offensive and down right stupid that Samsung is making us pay for stuff that we android users always got for free .... we are now being limited to use only Samsung themes ... WTF ... are we now just sheep like Iphone users......*(
And what if I don't want to change all my Icons and the look of my stock messaging app Ect ...???
this is offensive and down right Rude of Samsung.

Your not alone... And to be honest things like this bother me way more than the locked bootloader.
At least that has a semi understandable reason.

Totally agree, like I said the S7 edge had the option. Maybe the sales of the Theme store didn't meet their expectations so they are trying to force it on us.
Despite the nonsense of only allowing paid live wallpapers, I would buy an app from the Galaxy store with only one purpose: to enable live wallpapers on the lock screen. This missing feature has me pretty annoyed.
Dears,
just a question... there is any way to access to the store or download that contents directly from PC?
Ok so i had this problem as well if you search for beautiful live weather in app it will pop up with a sun in picture once you install it brings up 3 choices select live weather and asks at bottom if you want to set as wallpaper
Samsmug needs to stop forcing us to only use their "paid" live wallpaper themes. This is completely unacceptable and must stop. I miss having my "Alive" video wallpaper on both the home and lock screens. This really kills the whole experience for me.
At least we still have access to our photo gallery through the samsung themes app. Maybe we can add an animated gif wallpaper to the gallery and add it to our lock screen this way? If samsung allows users to create their own themes, then there must be a way to create our own "Theme" with our own live wallpaper on both the home and lock screens?

I found you have to download "Space Galaxy Live Wallpaper", open it, Select the "Start Wallpaper" button and voila! There is your entire list of live wallpapers you love. I have already contacted Samsung and they are aware of their lack of thought, but the rest of you need to also so the hirry up and update!

Nope, ... this is not the solution for a live Lock Screen Wall Paper....
But Thanks for trying.
Despite there is no way to set the lock-screen with live wallpaper...
but You can use this third party app to bring all installed livewallpapers to select for your homescreen...
Live Wallpaper Picker
Some live wallpaper apps have no shortcuts, This is what I used to set them for my homescreen...

[SHARE][NO ROOT]Latest Xperia Apps

Hello!
So, here you go: [CM/AOSP][NO ROOT]] Latest Xperia App for non stock ROM
There says about CM/AOSP, however, I've installed Launcher, Music and Weather without any problems on stock Crapwiz 5.1.1 and are running flawless. The other apks should work as well.
I didn't try on CM/AOSP rom, but should work since are meant for that.
There aren't any screenshots, but there's a post with a YouTube video showing the apps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71689269&postcount=1051 .
PS: Xperia launcher is so smooth and it's ram usage is similar as TW one. It has some customization options too, like icons support, double tap anywhere on empty space on homescreen to turn screen off.
Launcher is awesome!
Too bad there is no option to set app launch animation, you can't get system animation.
