Where are lockscreen wallpapers stored?

Mine says no files found when I browse and try to change it..

they're included as part of the launcher apk...

Is there any way to use a custom (downloaded) image for lockscreen bacground? I am able to do so forwallpaper but only have the few stock choices for lock screen...

they kind of screwed up when making this change. if you change the lockscreen wallpaper by using the plus icon in the top right, you'll only be able to use the stock wallpapers. however, if you go into settings->screen->wallpaper(or something like that, I don't have my tab on me), you'll only be able to pick from images in your gallery. you should be able to do either in both places but.. oh well

I was frustrated by the lack of lockscreen wallpapers until I discovered that if you go to the Gallery app, and select a photo, you can set it as your lock screen background using the Gallery settings menu.

Help with setting lock screen wallpaper

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:

doesn't that option use the samsung gallery?

Does anyone know the

Location of the lock screen wallpapers?
Running a custom rom, when I go to change the lock screen wallpaper I only get the option to use the stock Sammy ones.
If I can get the location I can put my own pictures there.
Thanks in advance.

Can you go to Wallpaper options under 'Display' in 'Settings'? You should be able to pick the lockscreen wallpaper and choose any image from your Gallery.

The wallpaper pictures of your stock Sammy application are compiled in the .apk file, so you have to decompile the .apk, to add new pictures then recompile it. It's not so simple, but you should find a thread about it on XDA.
The best way to put your own picture on your lockscreen is to choose the Gallery application which allows you to choose the picture from your storage and adapt it to the screen size.
But it needs the gallery.apk to be installed within your ROM.

Tried display in settings and it just gives me the stock images, no gallery option.
When I want to change the home screen wallpaper it gives me loads of options including gallery so I'm pretty sure I have the gallery.apk installed?

Question about the Nougat update.

Hello everyone. I seem to have a bit of a problem regarding live wallpapers with the new 7.0 Nougat update. I am currently using the Galaxy Pack app from Play Store as my live wallpaper and I was using it on both my home screen and lock screen. Now here's the problem, after the update I tested out some stuff (including changing the wallpapers) and now I cannot put the live wallpaper back on the lock screen. On the home screen it works fine. When I try to select a static picture as my wallpaper, after I select it, it asks me (Do you want this on your home screen, lock screen, or both?), but when I select the Galaxy Pack wallpaper it just sends me on the app's menu where I click set wallpaper and only the home screen one applies. I have tried different launchers including Nova launcher (The one I currently use) and Google Now Launcher, but nothing lets me put the Galaxy Pack LW as a lock screen wallpaper. Please help.
Also on a side note, does anyone know how to set the settings, quick settings tab, etc. on dark(black) theme? I hate all the white of it. Is it possible to do this at all? (without rooting)

Just downloaded planety of live wallpapers. None of them is working on the lockscreen, nothing really can be done here. But changing theme to any other colour is simple, just open the Samsung themes app and set the dark one.

All right. Thank you for responding. I hope they fix the live wallpaper problem soon. And many thanks for the dark theme. Cheers.

Change lock screen wallpaper

So, I'm using the Nova Launcher Prime instead of the stock OOS launcher. Is there any way of changing the lock screen wallpaper without switching back to stock launcher and changing it from there?
When I use the gallery (QuickPic) to change the wallpaper it changes both the lock screen and the desktop wallpaper...

When you on homescreen open menu(I have it on long press fp sensor) then choose wallpaper and select one. When saving you can choose if it will be set as home, lock or both.

As I mentioned earlier, I use Nova Launcher instead of the stock launcher.
Every gallery that I tried using (even the stock one) has got only the "SET AS >> WALLPAPER" option.
There is no "SET AS >> LOCK SCREEN WALLPAPER" option anywhere except the stock launcher - which I don't like to use.
Am I missing something here?

You may not read my post correctly. You don't need any gallery for that.
Just follow my instructions. I'm using Nova Launcher since years and I have the option is always there just checked a second ago . Don't start by selecting a picture with any gallery app!
