Hey All,
I'm working with a Notion Ink adam, but based off a bunch of the Nook Color/Gtab/Galaxy Tab threads, this isn't isolated to the adam.
I'm running into an issue where the following occurs: from stock, I can set 1024x600 wallpapers in gallery/desktop/etc, and they'll be full screen, centered, and uncropped. As soon as I install any custom launcher(so far, I've tested with the new VTL.launcher, Launcher Pro, ADW, zeam) the wallpaper gets stretched as if it was going to scroll, but scrolling all the way to the side still doesn't display the whole wallpaper.
In fact, from that point on, I can no longer set a 1024x600 wallpaper as a desktop, as it thinks it's not the right height/width and stretches then crops it. If I try to manually crop in Gallery, it only allows me to expand it to a 4:3 square, instead of the full screen.
This does not resolve itself after uninstalling the other launchers, and in fact, the only way I've found to permanently fix it, is to factory reset.
I've been doing some tinkering, and discovered that under /data/system, there is a "Wallpaper_info.xml" which lists the wallpaper height/width. Since installing a launcher, it lists the height as 1024, and the width as 1200, which isn't really correct at all. However, if I manually change that to 600 and 1024, respectively, then hard reboot, the wallpaper I've set will display correctly until I go off of the homescreen and come back, or lock the device.
This makes me think something within the launchers are changing what android believes the resolution and/or wallpaper size should be. However, I have no idea what service I could clear the data on to make this revert without a factory reset.
Any insight on what would cause this type of change is greatly appreciated.
As a few extra asides: I've tried Wallpaper Wizardrii and Wallpaper set and save, set and save still shows a cropped image, Wizardrii makes black bars appear above the top and bottom.
Thanks,
-Eujin
I've ran into the same exact problem after installing, then uninstalling, MIUI Launcher. Anyone know a fix?
I am currently running PA 3+ on my N4 and am trying to change the dots on the lock screen. Does anyone know the location? I have the images I want to use and everything is extracted, ready for transferring/name changes.
Does anyone know if its possible to get a custom lock screen that will show the full content of a notification, instead of just a part of it? like when a message is received instead of the first few words, it would display the whole message.. or is it possible to mod the default Samsung lock screen to show more in its preview?

Good luck
Just got my Note back form the repair shop and now I cant set a Live Wallpaper as the background on the lock screen.
Its driving me crazy because I had one set before getting it repaired.
When I go to the wallpaper setting and select either 'Lock screen or Home and Lock screen' it wont let me select option the to set a live wallpaper.
Can anyone help me get around this problem?
How do you change the lock screen wallpaper. It has the option but it doesn't even work....
I am trying to set it from a picture and have it stay that way. Seems like a bug unless I'm doing something wrong.
Same here, I've changed the lock screen wallpaper but it didn't seem to work.
Anyone else?
Just tried ...
Indeed there is a small glitch ...
i tried to change the Lockscreen background first to "Glaze" but i cancelled and take a pciture from my gallery.
And it worked - but for curiosity the "glaze" picture have now a checkmark on it and let me believe this is the one i have choosen.
But watching the lockscreen itself prove that it is my picture that is an the lockscreen

Can you elaborate
Solution kind of... Go to your lockscreen and swipe up from the bottom. There should be three options. Choose lock screen settings. Click on "wallpaper for today." Then click the plus sign in the bottom right hand corner. This will allow you to add a picture from your gallery. Once you have one saved in that list with random ones, go back to your lock screen. Swipe right until you find the picture you just saved. Then swipe up from the bottom and choose lock this wallpaper. It only lets you choose a max of 1 month but this will work. Pain in the a** but works.
sorry for beeing late ...
As you have your solution - still need a step by step?

I'm using 500 firepaper for daily home screen (multiple time a day actuall with simple gesture like double or triple tab on your screen or when switching from portrait to landscape mode or manually by setting any time want for example every hour or even every 5 minutes or 24 hours) automatic wallpaper background change and for lock screen I'm using next lock screen witch not not only provide daily wallpaper but much more customization and option for notifications or direct access on many app directly from lock screen.

it didn't work on me or i couldn't. any other advice?
I've got a similar problem. I somehow managed to change my lockscreen wallpaper at some point, but now it's stuck. My device is a A2017G B05 on the latest OTA Update. Using Google Launcher.
I was having the same problem. I saw some advice on this recent Reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Axon7/comments/5fyyji/cant_change_lock_screen_wallpaper/
...that included setting the lockscreen wallpaper but NOT choosing to set that as homescreen when it asks you (just do that separately with the same image). I tried that at first and it didn't work, but I rebooted my Axon 7 and tried again and then it DID work. Hope that voodoo continues to work, but thought I'd pass it along here to see if it helps anyone else as well.
After so much time with the phone, it worked. I'm shocked tbh.
Before it was the default one but in settings it showed the one I chose. I just re-did it and it worked. Woohoo!
For anyone having this issue: Try rebooting.
