Few questions - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

1. Is it possible to set a lockscreen wallpaper?
2. Is it possible to rotate the homescreen to portrait. That is about the only way to use it with a stand?
3. The calendar widget is there anyway to make it display the month instead of just the day?

1. Not in the default options. Yes with a lockscreen app.
2. Not in the default options. Yes with a different launcher or rooting and changing dpi. (Assuming you mean 'landscape', portrait is the default)
3. Not in the default options. Yes with Android Pro Widgets.

[Q] Sense 3 Dock in Launcher Pro

I really like the Sense 3 dock but hate the non smooth scrolling of the app drawer. As an alternative I want to use this .png file as the image for my dock using Launcher Pro but haven't got a clue to apply it to the launcher.
Anyone know how, please?
On Launcher Pro:
1) set the dock background to the pic:
Menu Button > preferences > appearance settings > dock background
then you have to set each shortcut on the dock (there are 5 shortcuts, so set the 2nd and 4th to "none" to avoid accidental presses on them). The other three you have to get a blank png and set that as the pic for each, and set the shortcut accordingly (e.g app drawer on the 1st, phone in 3rd)

Screen Density for the new 5.0 ROM (N9005)

Hi guys...
I wanted to ask is it possible to change the screen density from 460 to 360 without looking weird? Because 460 is too big.
Thank you in advance
I'm not sure, but isn't it possible via build.prop? Though it might require editing certain applications to fix layout issues.
Isn't the default 480? Anyway, of course you can change it, but as always, you'll have to modify some of the stock apps to fit right
You can use any DPI changer app (like textdroider) or edit build.prop to modify your DPI. That will make your touchwiz interface look really wonky, the icons will be smaller, but only about half of the screen will be utilized. What you then can do is to install an alternative launcher like Nova to use instead of the Touchwiz launcher. Unfortunately that means you won't be able to use some Touchwiz features such as the S planner widget.
Another thing you could do is to download a modified touchwiz lollipop launcher here from XDA (under themes\apps). That won't change the DPI, but it will allow for more icons on each screen. These launchers might cause some issues when trying to resize widgets to fit properly on the screen.
Just download Apex or Nova. They allow you to change the size of everything in your launcher, from icons to text.
Yes you'll loose the S Planner widget functionality. There are plenty of replacement apps.
Changing the density will cause more problems than it solves. Try the easy route first.

Setting lockscreen wallpaper on OOS 3.0 Beta

How do I set the lockscreen wallpaper on OOS Beta? I use Muzei and it changes the desktop wallpaper, but not the lockscreen wallpaper. There used to be an option to set the lockscreen wallpaper to the desktop wallpaper.
Much thanks!
Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alicantedevelopers.lockscreenchangercm13 maybe this works.
But your phone has to be rooted.
On the stock oos beta, just go on the [wallpaper / widget / settings] (by touching the drawer on a blank 2 sec), and you'll have the option to change the wallpaper, just swipe to the right, and you will have an option for the lockscreen. (don't forget to click on save)
I would love to know this as well

Well, that's actually not the problem. The actual problem is, that there is no option for the lockscreen to use the same wallpaper that is used on the homescreen. It's also not possible to choose Muzei as wallpaper source for the lockscreen, which really bothers me, and as I guess, the op too.

I'm also using Muzei and facing the same problem...
I tried creating a symlink for /data/system/users/0/keyguard_wallpaper pointing to /data/system/users/0/wallpaper, didn't solve the problem. I also tried deleting the file, didn't help.

First off I'm using Apex launcher( not sure if it matters). I Press on a any blank part of the screen in the menu prompt choose Wallpaper, then on pick image scroll over to wallpapers. there you can set your Home screen and your Lock screen saving each one individually.

Yes, but here we are talking about having both the lock screen wallpaper and home wallpaper in sync. So for example using Muzei, which automatically switches periodically the Home screen wallpaper, it also changes the lock screen wallpaper so you have the same in both places.

Well ... now on 3.0.2 ... still no solution. tsk tsk.

Lockscreen background...

Hi,
so kind of a 2 point topic.
First is more of an inconvenience. As you know you can set the lockscreen wallpaper from the stock launcher. But if you happen to use another launcher (like probably many of us), there is no way to access that setting.
Second point, don't know if it has to do with the first, within the background settings there is an option to get "Shot on Oneplus 5" images changed daily as your background. I activated this setting, but it doesn't work, the background never changes.
Question is, is this a bug? Or does it not work because I run Nova Launcher instead of the stock one?
Has someone seen this feature in action?

On the first point, also found it a bit confusing, at the end I went through Google Photos gallery and did set the wallpaper that way (for both lock- and home-screens).
