Can you get live wallpaper for lock screen? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way ?

I think your best bet is to flash over to a pure sense Rom for that.
Or
Get Widget Locker Lockscreen. I know that it supports Lock screen LWPs.
Good luck.

[Q] Lockscreen-Image on Froyo

Hi Guys,
my Girlfriend updated her Legend to 2.2 today but now is a little sad, because she is no longer able to change the Background-Image of the Lockscreen (the one you have to drag down...). On 2.1 she could use one Image for normal Wallpaper when in use and another for the "lockscreen", now on 2.2 if she changes the Wallpaper, the lockscreen-image is the same...
Is there any way to only change ONE of them as it was on 2.1??? Maybe any app or something??
Thanks for Help,
BigD
They changed that?!?!
Sadface...
What I'm more interested in is if we get the Desire's lock screen.
So far, it SEEMS we're stuckwith the collapsing effect of the original Sense.

I was also wondering what happened to this feature

Maybe you should have a look at Lockbot or Lockbot Pro. Also try widgetlocker. I havent tried any myself but they are best known for lockscreen customization. Good luck.
Also, do you now get the Desire style fading pulldown of the clock pull bar on the lockscren? Does it fade? Or does it just slide and collapse like Legend 2.1.

Quick question

Can I have a live wallpaper on my lock screen and just a normal wallpaper as my home screen?

nope cool idea though............
ACTUALLY...
its either the 2.2.1 roms or the 2.3 roms but you can set different wallpapers on lock and home.
I'm sure if your using 2.3(?) you could make a live wallpaper, then lock screen could be a regular one;.
I'm running Double Rainbow and just checked this. It looks like you cannot have a live wallpaper as your lockscreen, though you can set a different standard wallpaper.

<Q> Lock screen question

I'm not sure if I'm just blindly missing this setting but I cannot find where to change the lockscreen wallpaper. I just flashed CM 7.0.3 and it changed from being the same as my homescreen paper to grass. Not sure if it's a CM setting or an ADW setting or if it's changeable at all. Suggestions?

I don't think you can change the wp. If you really want to change wp though, you can download something like widget locker.

There is no setting to change the wallpaper for the lock screen. The Lockscreen and the HomeScreen will have the same wallpaper. As The poster above me mentioned you can use Widget Locker to use a separate Wall Paper.
Awesome! Thanks for the tips! The grass just doesn't go with my honeybee lol.

With Miui you can have different wallpapers for lockscreen and main screen. Try it out.

Change Lock screen Wallpaper

Anybody know how to change the lock screen wallpaper? Sorry for the dumb question but I just can't seem to figure it out.

I would also like to know the answer to this!!
There is no way to change the lockscreen wallpaper on stock android.
The only way is to install a custom rom with the feature or use an alternative lockscreen app such as WidgetLocker.
Really? I don't have mine yet, but I saw a review video of somebody from the UK that had a different lock screen than stock.

Not possible without custom rom, looking forward to this though.

Lockscreen widgets

Anyone else disappointed HTC didn't include these in 4.2.2?

Not really I had them on my s4 and found them more annoying then useful but if you want them that bad flash cm10.1
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Yes I am very disappointed. I've been wanting to use dashclock on my lock screen for ages!
I don't get why HTC chose to leave off a headline feature of 4.2.2.

Big time disappointment for me aswell, this is my first android phone, and when testing others phones, the majority had it working...... can not understand why they would'nt include it.

I was on pac but it's just not stable enough yet. I had them on my note 2 as well and I loved my dashclock widget

The only one I ever use is Dashclock. Thanks to the 4.2.2 Sense update and Widget Locker, I can still use it. I'm annoyed by HTC's decision but it wasn't a problem
Disable HTCLockscreen.apk and you will get stock lockscreen with lock screen widgets.
Apparently worked for someone in the ARHD thread but doesn't work for me, stock lockscreen shows but no lock screen widgets.

Only works if you dirty flash from 4.1.1 rom to a 4.2.2 rom. Most people couldn't get the phone to boot though.

Yep this worked for me, but I did dirty flash, I don't confirm if that's the reason it worked though.
The novelty of dash clock had worn off for me though useful as it is.
Not sure if you mean you're disappointed that HTC didn't include stock widgets, but you could try out Widget Locker and put other widgets on the lockscreen.
I'm a bit confused. Once I get the 4.2 update I will be able to use widgets like Dash Clock, right? Changing lock screen is no big issue for me as long as it works.

You won't be able to add widgets to your lockscreen. That's just how HTC did it. Even if you remove their lockscreen. Only way to get widgets will be if you use widgetlocker.

Trickdroid has an option for the AOSP lockscreen and you can use widgets.

The widgets don't work. Only if you dirty flashed over a 4.1.1 Rom. Unless a newer version was released that some how included it, you have to use widgetlocker.

Even more confused now I don't know the difference between regular lock screen widgets and Dash Clock, but as long as I can use Dash Clock I'm happy.

Ahh Ok, yeah I did a dirty flash. But I switched back to the sense lock screen because I noticed if you had a pattern lock and got a call, you would have to unlock with your pattern before answering the call with the AOSP lockscreen

I have personally had problems using Widget Locker both on my S3 and now the One...find it to be laggy and at times not work consistently with notifications.
Can someone please explaine how it works?
Hi!
I've just flashed the new 4.2.2 and when i looked at the promissing lockscreen widget i was and i am confused.
I can see 7digital and a bunch of my Fancywidget widgets and Google, where are ALL my other widgets? Why so few?
I can live with that i can't scroll to the left and right for more pages (seems very strange to me anyway) but hey, i though ALL widgets could be put on my lockscreen...
Wait so the new lockscreen style "Widget" doesn't allow for Dash Clock to be placed on it? That's so bunk =/
