Does anyone know if its possible to change the wallpaper on the lockscreen? I installed Nova Launcher and the only thing I cant seem to change is the lockscreen wallpaper. Anyone know how? I have looked online, but nothing specific to the Fire HD 8.

Thanks for posting this, I can't find anything anywhere either. If there was a custom ROM, life would be so much easier!!
been looking as well and no luck for me...
There isn't anything built-in for the lock screen wallpaper specifically, but as long as you don't have the Amazon "Special Offers" lock screen then whatever you set as your home screen wall will be your lock screen wall.

I have the "adfree" version and what you said isn't true. When I apply a new wallpaper it changes only in homescreen, not lockscreen

On mine, I had about 5 random stock wallpapers after paying to remove the ads. That went away when I changed the home screen again wallpaper after removing the ads and now my lock screen wall is whatever I set as home screen wall.

Which app do you use to change wallpaper? Because for me never happened what you describe
Inviato dal mio KFGIWI utilizzando Tapatalk
I'm using ADW ex launcher, (on an ad-free version of the Fire) and once I figured out where to stash my screen/wallpaper .jpg, it now works on the lock screen too. (It also does a great job of shrinking icons to 50% and increasing the grid size)
Okay, so where do you stash your jpeg?
Solved

You can easily change the wallpaper for home screen but until you pay for the ad free lockscreen the lockscreen will not change...
I used Wallchanger in Google Store after following the four steps (see link below) to install Google Account Manager, Google Framework and Google Play Services then the Google Store APKs.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/how-to-install-google-play-store-fire-t3486603
After installing WallChanger, I was able to select groups of pictures to activate as the wallpaper for my Fire HD 8

Does it change the lock screen wallpaper? As far as I know, but please correct me if wrong, you can only change the lock screen wallpapers using Amazon Photos. If you get rid of (uninstall/disable) Amazon Photos, you can no longer change the lock screen wallpaper. Does this do that without Amazon Photos installed?
simple solution
after having amazon uninstall 'amazon offers" i simply had to reset or reapply the lockscreen wallpaper, restart the device and voila.......rotating lockscreen wallpapers disappeared and only 1 image (the one i chose) remained on the locks screen as well as my background pic.......hope it works for you too

As always, you are right once again, DragonFire1024. You can use other Wallpaper apps to change the background of your home screen, but the Amazon Photos app is the only one that seems to affect the lock screen (at least from my limited experience)
Does anyone know how (without using an app like Wallchanger) to get a Fire HD to return to randomly shuffling the stock set of lockscreen images? I can easily change my lockscreen to any one image at any time, but I'd like it to go back to shuffling images like it used to (again, without a 3rd party app). Thanks.

Use Amazon photos. That's the only way to change the lockscreen wallpapers without root.

Not so. You can just go to Settings --> Display --> Wallpaper, then choose & set an image, and it becomes the wallpaper AND the lockscreen, as long as you're not on "special offers." I'm just wondering how to get it so the lockscreen and/or wallpapers would shuffle or change on their own, like it used to, and without a 3rd party app.

Yes you can change the lock screen wallpaper because you still have Amazon photos. My HD 8 has not had special offers but if you uninstall or disable Amazon photos, you won't be able to change the lock screen wallpapers without modding the systemUI https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76071092&postcount=2

I've done it on my Fire HD8 7th gen.
It's easy. You need to install Nova Launcher.
Go to settings > display > wallpaper, and set one wallpaper there.
Next: Set a wallpaper with Nova Launcher. That will be your home screen wallpaper for Nova Launcher and Home Pages.
And there you've done it! In settings you set the lockscreen wallpaper. In Nova Launcher it somehow sets homecreen wallpaper even for home pages.

I was looking at a way for my change of wallpaper to stick after the screen is turned off and back on and it seems I found a way. This requires root. It's pretty simple you just have to:
Code:
1. Change wallpaper within a launcher like ADW.
2. chmod 550 /data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper
If you want to change it again you have to chmod it back to something like 755 and then back to 550 once you've changed it back to write-protected again. You can freely change between live wallpapers for some reason once it's 550
Not anywhere near ideal but it works for the time being. Much easier than injecting images into an app.
Thanks. I might try this when I get bored of the changing wallpapers

Well it does allow to switch to Live wallpapers. What I can't do now is change it to anything other than live wallpapers. So I'm guessing I need to reverse the process.
Anyone know the chmod command to do that?
Nevermind. 755 got me back to the ****ty Kindle permissions
BTW, 550 does nothing for me for picture wallpapers. Useless other than allowing Live wallpapers. Curious.
I've updated the first post with how I'm doing it for stills. I was only using a live one before so I didn't come across that problem yet.

Hi. With overriding lockscreen with "GO Locker", my KF goes to not trying to replace the wall paper anymore. Even if you rebooting your device, the wall paper which you selected keep the place
Nice, I'm going to try this sometime soon.
Does anyone know how many wallpapers there is by default?
i believe there are 21 images
Also, if you are rooted and have the android app store you can download widgetlocker v2.2.3 and they have support for kindle fire. It works perfectly!

I dunno about perfectly, if i leave my Fire unplugged for a bit and come back then the lock screen is there and the widgetlocker unlock screen is the 2nd unlock screen, with new and randomly chosed wallpaper.
Hoping i am just missing a setting someplace.

No, this happens to me too. Sometimes I get a broken KF unlock screen - in the sense that the layout is borked, but the slider is still functional, albeit shifted to one side.
I have Widgetlocker running in tandem with GO Launcher EX, so not sure if that might be the reason or its just an issue with the wallpaper rotator.

Help! I have tried this many times - I can get the wallpaper not to change if I use a Live Wallpaper but for the life of me, I cannot install a static (jpg) wallpaper. I'm rooted, market and gmail installed, etc... and using ADW.EX launcher (very nice).
Could it be the actual jpg image? I'm just using a plain, solid black jpg image that I have used on every rooted device from a Samsung Galaxy to my rooted Nook Color?
What's the format for plain solid wallpaper?
TIA

I am pretty sure this is related specifically to ADW EX as I experienced the exact same thing. I had to set the wallpaper about five times before it would actually stick. The key to knowing the selection worked was that I would receive two messages from ADW after making the selection, the second one stating that it was setting the wallpaper. If I didn't get that second message, I would have to go through the selection process again.
I am using Go Launcher and didn't experience any problems
setting the wallpaper.
Whatever wallpaper was set on the Fire when the chmod string executed
was the one that was set.
Did it on two different Fires.
Thanks to each of you...
devilot and tkalli: I finally figured out that it was ADW doing the problem thing - although interesting enough, I bought Widgetlocker and as soon as I installed it and opened it up, my wallpaper stuck (I did chmod to 550). Now we will see if it sticks through OTA Rootkeeper as i want to stream some videos from Amazon so I have to temporary unroot.

Hey guys, here's a much improved alpha 2: Play Store Link
I am currently on a trip so will reply to comments and update main post when I get a chance

EDIT: updated first post and switched to Play store link
It looks like the play store link hasn't updated yet..if its not active by tonight I'll upload a version elsewhere.

Hiding the drawer icon is definitely something I'm considering However I have a few ideas to improve it as well, perhaps a sort of "quick launch bar" in a row where the icon is currently located.

No problem buddy! Im trying to find more bugs and ways to make it better...Last night when I downloaded the APK and tried to install it my phone wouldn't let me cuz it said "App not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed." The way I tried to install it was using Root Explorer and just over writing the app by installing the new APK but i guess something is going wrong with the signature cuz ive never seen this happen...so I just went to the playstore and uninstalled it from there and re-installed the new copy from there....But i still have one more issue. Whenever you install a new launcher from the play store and immediately after you click the home button the OS prompts you which launcher do you want to use..i have 3 launchers installed (Nova, Chameleon, & Tile) But the OS never prompts me which launcher do I wanna use...
UPDATE: Alright so I got it working now. Android now prompts for the launcher >>> https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Byxlw5J4qbOvZDNKY21yV282TGM
But one more bug I found is that whenver you go to the widgets in the app drawer and you drag for example Airdroid 4x1 Widget Tile Launcher crashes.
This is extremely promising... Keep this up, if you play you're cards right, you may just have the most "innovative" launcher out there

Hmm ok. Are you on ICS? Dropping widgets is still being worked on, added it to the known issues list now.
As for prompting for the launcher, it should prompt you every time you install a new launcher, strange if it didn't. It's possible to go to Apps -> Your current home launcher -> Clear defaults to make it prompt if that happens again.
I'll be returning home this weekend, hope to get a new build out soon Cheers

i love this launcher!!
here some ideas:
- make it more flexible (the user no more needs to sets numbers of colums and rows)
then:
- option to choose min tile size (width and height)
- option to choose from horizontal scrolling or vertical scrolling in home
- option to choose paginated scrolling (regardless scrolling orientation) in home
- drawer categories
- option to enable google search bar near the app drawer button
- option to replace the launcher menu in app drawer with google play shortcut (or another app)
- fix custom color (can't set a custom hex color on nexus s cm10)
add these features even in a paid version and i'll buy it
keep it on!!
Hey all
Hope you can help. I'm running stock Android 4.2.2 unrooted. I downloaded DashClock and added it to my lock screen, however when I press the power button to look at the lock screen the widgets are really small next to the clock rather than full screen. If I swipe to the left and then back to the lock screen, the widgets go full screen. Any idea on how to make the widgets permanently full size like the picture below.

I'm afraid you need root to do this. I am running Paranoid's latest build and there is the option to make widgets go full screen in lockscreen.

So there's a couple things about this question:
First, any widgets that you have in your first lockscreen by default are minimized to make room for your lock circle. If you just drag down on the widget, it will maximize your widget at the expense of your lock circle, which then has to be tapped to be brought up again. This is the behavior that you are seeing when you swipe away and then swipe back.
Second, if you want, some custom ROMs (namely cm and PA, but possibly others) have recently implemented an option to have your widget be expanded by default. So if that's what you're looking for, I would start there. Unfortunately, this feature is not available on stock so you will have to root your phone.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the replies. It's a shame I have to root and rom to add that setting. I guess I'll have to do without.

An alternative if you don't want to flash a custom ROM is to use WidgetLocker.

Will WidgetLocker allow me to use DashClock full size? Sorry for the nOObness

Actually, my bad. I assumed that DashClock's lockscreen widget is the same as it's homescreen widget. Apparently they're different. If you use WidgetLocker, you'll only be able to see the full homescreen widget.
To see what I mean, add the DashClock widget to one of your homescreens and compare that to what you see on the lockscreen...

I’m going to contradict myself here. I just realized that if the homescreen version of the DashClock widget is resized to be larger, it becomes identical to the lockscreen version of the widget.
Unfortunately, for some weird reason, if you try the same with WidgetLocker, the widget still looks like the compact version.
So, WidgetLocker is not the way to go for this. Sorry!
just for the record it is aokp's feature. very nice idea indeed.

Thank for this info I was also having that same problem. running Paranoid's 3.0 latest build and sure enough this fix the dash clock widget not showing up in full lock screen size.. Thank you .
Before you go rooting and installing all sorts of weird stuff, try swiping Down on the Dashclock widget on the lockscreen, that might give you the results you want

Nope, doesn't work for me.
Its a shame that stock Android doesn't have the option to maximize the lock screen widgets. I won't root and add a custom rom so it's a no go area for me unfortunately. Google if you're reading this please add that option!

Hey all
Hope you can help. I'm running stock Android 4.2.2 unrooted. I downloaded DashClock and added it to my lock screen, however when I press the power button to look at the lock screen the widgets are really small next to the clock rather than full screen. If I swipe to the left and then back to the lock screen, the widgets go full screen. Any idea on how to make the widgets permanently full size like the picture below.

This is how dashclock was designed and unfortunately you have to pull down the screen to get full access. Not sure the developer will change this or at least make an option to change this in future versions. You could always try and contact the developer and ask him to include this as an option, his Google+ account would be a good place to start.

I don't have G+ or twitter account and don't want to create one. I'll just wait and see if this is implemented in future.
If you are running PA (15th feb) go to hybrid properties -> swipe right -> tools -> turn on expert mode. Now go to interface and reduce lockscreen down to something like 190dpi. This should enable you to see the widget in full screen on the lockscreen. At least this is what worked for me.

I was able to get the widget to display full mode with two rows of info perfectly using the following settings on PA:
250 DPI lockscreen (turn on expert mode)
260 DPI dashclock widget
Keeps the overall size reasonable for both pattern unlock and widget size.

Thanks guys, no need to rub it in.
Hey guys,
I love the DashClock widget and use it on my lockscreen as well as my homescreen. However, I feel that having the big clock on the homescreen is redundant and unnecessary. At the current moment DashClock does not have an option to disable the actual clock (that I am aware of). So I am looking for something that is essentially the same as DashClock but with just the notifications and no clock.

No problem. Transparency for the homescreen widget (I don't actually use there, just put it there for the screen cap), I believe is controlled / set via the 'Advanced' option in the widget setup.

Right now it's removed wholesale, as it was a quick and dirty hack. Let me take a look and see if there is a way to discern where the widget is being displayed and programatically hide the clock instead.

Do you have location services disabled?
The widget queries for your location, in order to translate that location (latitude / longitude), into a woeid, that it then passes to yahoo weather to retrieve the weather data.
You can view your logcat to see the widget working to obtain your location etc, to know if it is working. For example, here is essentially the URL call being made on my phone:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=24700990
Are you able to access this URL from your phone? If so, there shouldn't be any reason weather can't be retrieved based on your location / woeid, unless yahoo simply can't find a valid location based on the data passed in.
EDIT: Well hell, I starting replying to this, got sidetracked, came back to finish, hit submit, and see it was essentially already answered

Okay, played around with the decompiled .smali code some more (rather than working from source), and I was able to "conditionally" control / set whether the clock & date appears based on whether the widget is displayed on the lockscreen versus home screen.
Lockscreen (with clock / date):
Home Screen (w/o clock / date):
This should pretty much be what you are looking for. As mentioned, I don't use this on the home screen, but for those that do, until / if this is supported in the actual app, it should hold those over looking for the widgets w/o the clock, etc, when displaying on the homescreen.
It's certainly possible I broke something in the process, hacking this in, so let me know if you see any issues.
Be sure to first uninstall your official version, and after installing the modded apk below (click to download / install from phone, or use adb to sideload), don't forget to hide the 'settings' icon in the Advanced drop down of dash clock widget as well.

Thank you so much. I am uninstalling the official one and giving this one a try right now. I will report back after doing some testing.
EDIT: I just went through the process of uninstalling the official widget, clearing cache/dalvik and then rebooting and installing your tweaked version. It looks to be working perfectly as advertised. I have the clock on the lock screen but not on the homescreen. I have tested notifications for email, missed call, and text messages. All are working just as they should.
Thanks a lot!

I have the feeling the mate 7 have more perfomance compared with the note 2 even they have both 2gb of ram.
I bought the mate 7 because of the big screen and the very large battery, my mate 7 works 2 times longer on a charge than my note 2 even with a bigger full hd screen.
For a note 4 you pay alot more but for the mate 7 you get relative good specifcations for a very good price this with the points above is why I choose for the mate 7.
wrong DPI
I entered 600 (did that before I read this post) and it makes all bigger instead of smaller. a bit stupid.
the problem is that the lock application does not support 600dpi so I cant change the DPI back and cant use the phone
Does anyone know how to fix this (except of factory reset)?
I cant get ADB to work because I cant accept the connection on my phone (because it is locked and the lockscreen app is not compatible with 600DPI)
also when i launch CWM it shows "device ........ offline" when I try to connect trough ADB
I used the app Texdroider DPI
it says it can be restored by moving
system/build.prop to:
data/data/com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi/files/backup/build.prop

i hope this helps. go to play store on a PC, search for Nova launcher and any dpi changer app, select and install install them on this device. it should automatically download to your device.
. then turn od the phone, pull down the notification bar like you would do normally. ignore the constant message saying huawei launcher failed. from the notification bar, go into shortcuts, select settings,
when in setting, scroll down to managed apps,, select it.
at the bottom of the screen just before the navigation bar, select default app settings
select launcher, and select Nova launcher.
now to change your dpi back, once nova launcher comes up, look in the app drawer and select the dpi changer you downloaded from the play store via your PC, set the dpi to 480. and then reboot. everything should be back to normal.
**please note that my device is rooted. i havent tried this on a non-rooted device but i believe this should work on a non rooted device as well.**

The density was changed to 320dpi. Huawei launcher have many issues whit this denisty. But Nova launcher have problems only with huawei's widgets. Othe functions work good. Applications work good too. Recent aplications menu is in top left corner with only 4 miniutures. Buttons Home Recent and Back shifted to left. There are no problem for me. Looks much bette than 480dp . I liked it.

Why you are afraid of rooting? Believe me there are so many people, me included, who will root their devices before doing anything else.
I didn't see anything wrong in rooting contrary to common belief. Once you are rooted, you can do anything with your device.

I didn't change the dpi. It is quiet okay for me. You will get accustomed to a bigger screen. Perhaps those who don't like the bigger icons, are using big screens for the first time. You can use another launcher, like I am using apex launcher. The icons are smaller and crisp.

Use App Settings instead of changing the dpi of the complete system
This allows you to change the DPI for each app so you still have big (centered) nav buttons, but you are able to scale certain apps.

Sorry I was not clear but "app settings" is an module that you can install by Xposed
this module/app can change the DPI for individual apps instead of that everysthing is small including your softkeys that will shift to the left as well.
this means that you can keep e.g. the current DPI for the launcher, status bar, settings menu etc but change the dpi of specific apps like facebook, dailer, browser.
this also means that your soft keys stay nicely centered
Icons look bad after changinfg dpi
Hey Guys,
I've changed my MAte 7's density to DPI 400 and DPI 420, and in both cases some of the icons crash (Hangeout, Candy Crush etc.) they become veeery small on a big green icon- squere background, changing the launcher to Nova, Google Now doesn't help.
Any ideas?
I have no root, I changed density with "adb shell wm density ***".
Best regards, Jack
