I apologize if this has been addressed before but I'm a little pressed for time right now. Has anyone else had the issue with their wallpaper sizes being different on the home screen and lock screen? As in when you unlock the device it seems as if the wallpaper zooms almost? If so is there a fix for it? I am currently on Apex Launcher if that means anything.
Thanks in advance

Yup mine does that too.
Using Nova Launcher with a PIN lockscreen and wallpaper set from gallery using a photo taken by S4 camera.
Edit: Just tried with different photos and still same resizing change from lockscreen to home screen. No idea why.

Go to playstore and download an app called picspeed. Use that app to set your wallpapers. It wont oversize the pics like the phone system does. So when you pic your wallpapers from gallery and it ask what app to install with click picsoeed. It has 3 box sizes to choose from. The good thing is you can use any wallpaper in your gallery it dont have to be a download from picspeed.

So through Settings -> Screen -> Lock screen heading / Wallpaper does not provide a method to access the stock ROM wallpapers. You can only see what is in the gallery. For me its all the pics from my Nook Magazines.
The funny thing is the default setting is one of the stock wallpapers. Am I missing a step, a backdoor, or app to find/access/extract those wallpapers for general use?

Long press on home screen.
Wallpapers.
Wallpapers again.
Lock Screen Wallpaper.
Awe, I have been using ADW home. So that was not an option there. thank you!

so I installed the latest update for TiBu, and I performed a system backup. after completion, my wallpaper reverted back to stock, and when I try to change it by long pressing on the home screen and selecting wallpapers, I get an error message saying that the "app is not installed".
I also tried going into the gallery app, selecting a picture, and choosing "set picture as", the app force closes.
I tried using the stock launcher and the holo launcher, but to no avail. I was on the modded framework.apk, but even after reverting back to the original framework (and disabling LMT), I still cannot change my wallpaper. I'm wondering if TiBu had anything to do with it?
Is there an app that actually applies a wallpaper?
thanks!
Zedge allows you to apply then from within the app

Good idea. I was able to get it to work via picasa tool app.
Still odd that I could no longer do it from the home screen.

weird, so this happened again! I performed a system data backup via TiBu, and the phone's wallpaper went back to stock - still cannot long press to change the wallpaper (or change it via gallery).
my only work around is to upload a pic to my picasa album, and then set it from there.
has anyone had this issue? I'm guessing I'm missing some app?

This sounds like one heck of an obnoxious hassle. Are you using a stock launcher? If not, each launcher has their gestures and such for what long pressing the screen would do. I'm assuming you're using the stock launcher but if not, check the gestures on the custom launcher.

i'm using holo launcher, but this occurs on both holo and stock. perhaps I need to install another launcher....
Hi I've just flashed foxhound rom 0.8 on to my s4 but when I go to change my lock screen wallpaper, the option to choose from gallery is not there. only from the default wallpapers. for home screen the options come out but not for lock screen. Any idea why? I can't Post on the developers thread yet. so if anyone has a solution or could help me post there it would be much appreciated. a couple of guys asked about it before but no one gave a solution.
Thanks.

What launcher are you using? How about navigating to your preferred image in Gallery, then trying to set it as wallpaper from there?
Im using Nova Launcher. Ive tried that too. I can only set as Wallpaper, not Lock screen Wallpaper. I cant ask the foxhound developers as i cant post there yet since i just signed up.
Hmm noticed the same thing here. Previous on TW, able to set lock screen wallpaper from gallery or from settings. Now on Google Edition, doesn't seem to have this option

Note that doing the next few steps will reset your default app preferences, disabled apps etc.
In Settings, Application Manager, hit menu then Reset App Preferences.. read the warning!
This would help IF whatever's causing your problem is actually a 3rd party app that "clashes" (in a way) with the stock Gallery app
edit: also.. if that doesn't help, maybe try changing wallpapers from within touchwiz launcher, THEN relaunch nova
Tried to do what you said adrian, but still no go. When i click on display, wallpaper, lock screen, still only shows me one option there 'wallpapers' . No gallery or option for any 3rd party picture viewer. Could someone maybe help me post on the foxhound 0.8 for i9505 thread?
Thanks alot.
download QuickPic, pretty certain you can set lockscreen wallpaper using that

Correct. Been using that app for two years now. It's way smoother and quicker than the stock Gallery app and has some very useful features as well (excluding unwanted folders etc.) :good:

My bad, had the tab open too long and didn't refresh prior to answering. Odd that Quickpic doesn't work for you!
no worries man. but i know what you mean. it appears on my s2 with cm rom. but not on my s4 with foxhound. i just need to find out if its a bug in the rom or not

doesn't that option use the samsung gallery?
Hey guys,
So I have a live wallpaper that I really like, but of course it drains battery. I was wondering if there is a way to basically take a screenshot of it so that I can use it as a regular "static" wallpaper?
I can view it in preview to take a screenshot, but then it has the "Settings..." and "Set Wallpaper" buttons in there as well. Perhaps there is a clever way to do this.
Thanks.
I imagine if you have the right ROM and launcher you could just turn on immersive mode and take a screenshot of an empty homescreen.

This should probably be in questions but if you put the live wallpaper up our tell me which one it is as long as it's appropriate I'll do it for you because I have omni ROM with immersive mode. Then I can screen shot a blank screen and upload it for you like the person above suggested

Sometimes when I set a wallpaper it allows me to choose from landscape, portrait etc and other times I get a set icon to do it with. It might be because I'm using different launchers or whatever, Im not sure. Anyway....Any tips on an app for setting wallpapers so they don't look bad? Not really looking for something like Zedge but something that allows me to use pictures in my gallery in an optimized way. Thanks in advance!
Have you tried Image 2 Wallpaper app? I haven't tested with the S5, but it worked great with my other phones.
