[Q] Live wallpaper changes and restricts lock effect to light beam?

Decided to try out having live origami as my wallpaper, I love it. subtle, not too distracting, low battery consumption and it changes regularly, perfect for my ADD for wallpapers.
However, when I go into settings>display>wallpaper>home+lock and change it to live origami, my homescreen changes no problem, the lock screen does too. But then it resets it to having the light-shaft unlock effect and greys out the option in the lock screen settings.
Is there anyway to prevent this or re-toggle the 'no effect'(just the icon of a lock)?

Did you figure it out
I'm having the same issue as you. Just wondering if you've figured this out already.

Change homescreen only. Can't have live wallpaper on lockscreen and have the light or ripples. Same thing on Note2 with ripple
I think it has to do with performance and possibly look. Samsung can't conttol what the interaction would look like between the live wallpaper and the ripple/light beam.

Kind of the opposite of what my isue is
it defaults TO the light effect and then locks it out from trying anything else. so I have live wallpaper and am forced into the light effect also

4.4 Lock screen with live wallpaper

I got the 4.4 update via my S4, and now whenever i set a live wallpaper for both home and lock screen, the lock screen becomes the same it was on the s2 with the same lock sound and the lock icon thing when you swipe the screen (no light effect or sound). Is this a bug or is it the way it's supposed to be for kitkat?
It only happens when i set a live wallpaper for the lock screen, when i set a normal wallpaper the lock screen remains the way it should be with the light effect and sound.
Could i please get some help, some sort of answer please, i'd really appreciate it :crying:

I have I9500 n I get the light/ripple effect for lockscreen with sound. I guess they ll include it in stable updates. Try using the one of the default wallpapers and then the ripple/light effects. It might work. All the best.

Can someone tell me, how I can add a weather widget on my lock screen?

Found this polygon wallpaper. The colors look really nice on my gold edge.

There's a lot of apps you can download that changes the lookscreen and adds customizability
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cmcm.locker&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.appplus.hilocker&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay

do any of these work with fingerprint scanner? CM says it does, but i don't see the option in their menu -- just pattern or password.

Guys, can I hijack this thread to ask if your backlight is on when you use a pure black wallpaper as your lock screen wallpaper?
My blacks are pure black when I open my screensaver in the gallery (if i tap the screen to remove the UI, I can't see the screen at all in a dark room) and it's the same for most screens except for the lock screen. In the lock screen it almost appears gray or it appears like it's affected by backlight bleeding. Just wanted to find out if it's a software bug (since it's almost like the Night Clock bug) or if it's a defect with my phone. I also cleared my cache with no success.
Also, how do you take a screenshot of the lock screen?

Not sure if they work with the s6 edge, might have to wait for that support. I'll personally just wait for xposed to be updated so i can get fun stuff like wanam xposed, and just live with the current launcher, as i really like the fingerprint scanner.

You can change wallpaper by long pressing on an empty space in the homescreen. It goes into edit mode and you will see a wallpaper icon and label at the bottom left. Tap that and you are directed to another menu to select whether to apply your wallpaper to just your home or lockscreen or both. You can also go to settings>wallpaper to change wallpapers.
As for the weather, the design changes accordingly with the theme you choose.
Hope this helps.

Tap on your homescreen weather widget. Go to more>settings>show weather information. Profit.

Press home+powerkey simultaneously to get a screenshot anywhere in your phone.

Thanks so much for sharing guys. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that white status bar I have in the lockscreen. It just looks so ugly. Hopefully an upcoming FW update from my carrier would fix it. :fingers-crossed:

Does someone know how to get the wallpaper the S6 gets when it's on update mod? Blue cyan w/bugdroid on the middle. I really love it

Simple look.

I don't understand why there is a shortcut to the camera on the lockscreen?
I thought you could open the camera frem everywhere with two cliks on the home button?

Why the need to change that? You only see that when there's an update. Do you get an update every hour?

[help] my lock screen wallpaper won't stop moving? Please help me if you can.

So I factory reset my phone to improve it. I have a few issues going on but the biggest is that my lock screen moves outwards whenever I am on the lock screen. I have tried to disable wallpaper motion but I do not even have that option in wallpaper settings. I uninstalled Live Wallpaper with Kingroot but that did not help me at all. I have already unrooted my phone so any non-root fixes I would highly appreciate. I just want the wallpaper to stop moving! Thank you so much in advance for any help!
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime running on Android 5.1.1.

It's kind of hard to explain. Like when I am on my phones lock screen it is like my wallpaper is zoomed in, and then it will move (like zoom out) to the normal size I set it as. This does not happen on my home screen, just the lock screen.

How to change lockscreen wallpaper on kindke fire HD 10(gen 7)?

So after I removed the special offers on the lockscreen, it shows some (around 5 I guess?) stock wallpaper on the lockscreen routinely. I know the wallpaper can be changed in display > wallpaper, but I can't find the place to change the lockscreen wallpaper.
Is there a walk-around to achieve it?

I've got the 6th gen HD 8, but in mine, I browse photos using the Prime Photos app. When I see one I want to use, tap it so it displays full-screen size, then tap the 3 dots (menu) in the upper right corner of the pic. One of the choices is Wallpaper. On my 8 HD, choosing and confirming this will set it as both the lock screen wallpaper and the home screen wallpaper.

Thanks for helping. I really appreciate it. I was looking for the content related to "lockscreen wallpaper" and I didn't know that home screen wallpaper & lock screen wallpaper are changed at the same time.
Also, I can confirm that using your method and going to display > wallpaper have the same result.

There is a video which shows you how to do this

Totally unnecessary. Dragonfire1024 has demonstrated the way to change internal lockscreen wallpaper in his thread. As far as I know, that's the only way to customize the lockscreen wallpaper in a rotational way without using Amazon's app.

So...
What am i missing here? I've just changed my wallpaper, but my lock screen is still blissfully rotating pics from the folder of stock images that came pre-installed
EDIT found the answer in another thread. I mistakenly used Google Pics to change my wallpaper, not the control panel setting, which doesn't change the lockscreen.
On the other hand, this is a good work around to have different lock screen\wallpaper images.?

Sorry, but this was a year ago and I have no idea where I found it. Like I said in my comment though, my solution was to use the control panel. Also, did you pay to bypass the "sponsored" tablet? If not, you will always see the ads and never have control of your lock screen.
Other than that, I really can't offer much help. To be honest, I barely notice what my screen looks like these days. I use my Fire so infrequently I just open it, use it, and shut it off. So I don't know if the interface has changed.
Wish I could be of more help.

Disable the unwanted lock screen. Can you use Kustom Lock Screen Creator from Google Play Store
