On my phone running 2.3 the lockscreen shows whatever wallpaper I normally have including live wallpapers. However, it looks like in 3.1 you need to choose a separate wallpaper for the lockscreen and it won't let me choose a live wallpaper. Does anyone know a work around for this?

Hi guys,
Do you have any idea as to why my wallpapers won't change?
They change only if I choose animated wallpapers. If I choose weather wallpapers, they won't change at all.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
the weather has to change before a different weather wallpaper is applied!!
If you apply a "weather wallpaper" these are static and not animated - appart from the weather animation.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It doesn't work. The animated ones work, no matter if the weather update or not.
The static ones don't change at all. I have no ideea why.
So you are saying that the weather wallpaper does not animate, like when you unlock the phone or go from the start screen back to the home screen. Have you ever had the weather working (the wallpaper takes the last stored weather data to define the animation to use whether the weather data is currently being updated or not). I'm talking stock ROM without additionally interfaces and apps. Have you installed anything that chan ges the way the phone looks? A hard reset might work.
Currently I have two homescreens with a scrollable wallpaper. When I first added the wallpaper, the widgetlocker screen would have the part of the wallpaper that is on screen two. Now it's moved to screen one for some reason and I'd like to change it back to the way it was as I'd moved the widgets around to fit in with the colour of the background.
Thanks
In the widgetlocker settings u can tick Alternate wallpaper and select the part which you want
Ah, I downloaded the wallpaper using the Backgrounds app. I dont think it saves to a place where I can view it.
edit: nevermind theres an option to save it on the app. Thanks!
Anyone able to set a live wallpaper to the lock screen? Can't figure it out for the life of me...
Hello,
With the new interface we have 3 screens
AOD
Lock Screen
Dock screen
Ok when we want to change wallpapers we have
Wallpapers
Infinity live paper
Yes why not, but the infinity are both for the dock and lock screen. If i want a picture for the lock and a live wallpaper for the dock. How can i do that.
Impossible. The only way is to have a live wallpaper that u can open in the drawer and go to the list !!! fantastic no !! (see my screenshot)
Same for the lock screen
Before we can add widget on it like sahk widget and shortcuts. effects on the lock was ripple effects and firefly. Now we can't. No widget, no effect, if someone have an idea. It will be cool because the lock screen on th market seems not to be fine
Live wallpapers are fun but my experience has always been that they degrade the overall performance of the phone. I installed Google Wallpapers and it automatically cycles wallpapers once a day. I may try the live wallpapers again but in my opinion they aren't worth the performance hit.
I have a HD live wallpaper on my galaxy s8 and I see no degration in performance and it sucks very little battery to the point I can't really notice it. The issue I have is I can't seem to have a live wallpaper on my lock screen as I can't see an option in the settings. On my galaxy s5 I could have both a live wallpaper on my home screen and a different live wallpaper on my lock screen but on the s8 I can't seem to do that?
From where i can change 3rd party live wallpaper?
I use "Hologram Background" to set my homescreen with a 3D live wallpaper, and I leave my lockscreen with a static wallpaper. No performance or noticeable battery degradation whatsoever when used with Nova Launcher. You can also set a live wallpaper for the lockscreen only, and static for home if you want.

Hey!
I install the Google Pixel Live Wallpapers on the phone, but the MIUI Settings doesn't recognize the wallpaper, so I have install Google Wallpapers App. And they will show it up and I can set as Default Live Wallpaper. But after a few times turn on and off the screen, the Google Live Wallpaper replace it through one of Xiaomis Stock Wallpaper.
Are there any options, where I can set Non Xiaomi live wallpapers as Default wallpaper? Settings-> Wallpaper I only can choose the 4 installed live wallpapers....
Even Xiaomi's own 24h live wallpaper doesn't work for me. I think live wallpapers are completely broken on global ROM right now.
I've also noticed that my lock screen settings don't stick and it changes to my home wallpaper after a reboot. It's a mess.
Yes, I realize that xiaomis live wallpaper have the same issue. it always replace it with a stock wallpaper..
But I found out, there is a way to set custom live wallpaper with MIUI. You can copy a mp4 video in a miui folder, then you can choose it and set it as lockscreen and homescreen without third party apps. But there are still the same bug with the live wallpaper
