So I've had my S7 Edge for 4 days now and I'm loving this phone more than my iPhone.
I have run into a problem changing Lockscreen and Home Screen wallpapers.
I can set a wallpaper for both Lockscreen and Home Screen but cannot change individual wallpapers.
I've tried changing the wallpaper through the stock gallery app and also through the stock file manager app that comes with the S7 Edge but it will not let me have 2 different wallpapers for Lockscreen and Home Screen.
Any suggestions?
Bit of a daft question but have you used the settings option to change your wallpaper or by long holding on the home screen?
Yes I've tried that as well with no luck.

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.
I am running a rooted Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2. Last night I installed QuickPic. I then used "Uninstaller" to remove the stock Gallery app. All was looking good until I rebooted the phone. It changed my custom lock screen wallpaper back to the default.
When I tried to change the lock screen wallpaper back to my custom image I couldn't as when you go to the home screen to edit the lock screen wallpaper, there was NO option to select QuickPic to change the wallpaper (it was just blank). Strangely. I can change the home screen wallpaper with QuickPic!
Does anyone know how I can change the lock screen wallpaper without the stock gallery app? I have searched and searched online but come up empty handed!
Thank you!

Hi mate
easiest way to remove or freeze the stock gallery is using Titanium back up.......if you freeze it is better as you can use it later if you need

I don't have issues removing/uninstalling the stock gallery app. Its once it is removed that I can't change/set my lock screen wallpaper...

Hi,
Sorry mate I misread your post.....
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.
every other device has the option to set as various wallpapers but this only lets me set the desktop wallpaper which becomes the defacto lock screen wallpaper. tried with quickpic, googles photos app and the inbuilt gallery but nothing.
in wallpaper under settings i get a list of app to set it with but nothing else.
on 6.0.1 btw.
I got this device for my parents. So I'm not going through trouble of rooting and flashing custom roms.
So I thought to debloat all the miui stuff.
By far I've pretty much been successful, disabling apps through adb.
What I can't get around is the fact that there is a custom mechanism through which lock screen is being shown. This app called Theme manager (com.android.thememanager) is enabling something called wallpaper crousel.
Now I've disabled both, but doing so sets a default static wallpaper. I want it to be same as home screen (rotating Goohle wallpapers). But there seems no way to do it.
Any help would be appreciated, just want to get to stock lock screen or at least set same home screen / lock screen wallpapers.
I have a rick that worked. go themes than go to live wallpapers set any one live wallpaper from the themes app on both homescreen and lockscreen now go to google wallpaper app and set a wallpaper on homescreen and lockscreen this will work on recent miui 10 roms.
