So, I was looking for a while how to remove the wallpaper on the lockscreen to match the one I have on my homescreen automatically. Some apps that apply wallpaper don't give you the option to select to change the lock screen, and the only way is to go through the touchwiz system wallpaper chooser, and it will prompt. Otherwise, I might have found a solution??
The trick is very simple, head over to the galaxy store and install good lock, then from the good lock settings uninstall it, and it will remove the lock screen wallpaper and it will match your homescreen if you change your wallpaper a lot. I also found if you changed the theme, you'd have to re-do the process over again. Make sure to select your favorite theme first before you do this.
Did anyone find a simpler solution? Please share if you have one!

Interesting... I was trying to figure this out to use with Muzei. I'm wondering why note 7 doesn't have the ability to choose lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper the way older galaxy's did.
Anyway will try this and report back
Um, all you have to do is go into your gallery, choose pic, choose set as wallpaper, and then select lockscreen..

Yeah but that only selects the wallpaper, it doesn't do anything else. It doesn't match. The objective is to match the same screen. I'll try with live wallpapers and repot

I can finally set my Muzei homescreen to match my lockscreen.

Awesome, glad to hear it worked for you. For a while, it was bugging me. Here is a funny thing. As I am using the phone now like that, sometimes after unlocking the phone, I see flashes of what appears to be stockish android before the tw launcher comes, barely noticeable and very interesting.

When I uninstall good lock my lock screen just reverts to the default wallpaper. Am I doing something wrong?

What I did was took a picture of the wall with my phone flat up against it in low-light with my screen darkened. Then I edit picture in gallery (darkness down, contrast down). I did that twice then saved it as a perfectly black picture then I set my wallpaper (home screen and lock screen), using TouchWiz.
Thanks for the tip. Now my live wallpaper is also now on my lock screen.

Good find,
Thanks!
Why doesn't this work for me?! I want my magic fluids lock screen!!!!!
Works great, thank you. Nice to have again live wallpaper on lock screen.
Currently "good lock" app is not available on Galaxy store, but it is available here:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...lease/good-lock-24-0-12-android-apk-download/
Don't try other apps with the same name from Google play because it will not work.
There is also a way to do it. Download and set a live wallpaper as background on both desktop+lockscreen. Then unistall the lwp. There, both desktop+lockscreen should have a blank (black) background. Then when using an app like QuickPic that doesn't give an option to set wallpapers in both desktop+lockscreen, becouse all are blank, setting only desktop wall then lockscreen will also have the same (because it is transparent now)
Maybe some developer could make an app that removes the background wall from both desktop+lockscreen, that way it whould be much easier to do it.

Has anyone else noticed so basically im playing around with my phone as we speak but I have noticed that you cant really use lockscreen widgets when you have a pattern lock on the phone. I just find this weird because I am able to do this on stock 4.2. I also noticed that dashclock widget wont pick up my text messages and i cant set it as my default lockscreen widget and i also cant make the default lockscreen text notfication go away.
Guess im the only one who noticed this lol
I got dash clock set as my primary lock screen widget. It took a little fiddling.

May I ask how you did this? and also are you able to use it while having a pattern lock?
I will have to try the pattern lock. When I first got dashclock active it was on another lockscreen so I just dragged it over to the main one.
I am trying to figure out how to set the notifications to be expanded as default instead of having to swipe them down.

I see. And are you able to disable text notifictions on the lockscreen? I am thinking that text arent popping up with dashclock because there is already a separate widget on the lockscreen that is displaying it.
Does not work with pin lock or pattern lock. I suspect pattern doesn't work because it uses the pin method as a fallback. I did get it to popup an informational message one time that said something like can't edit screen in this security mode.

I haven't found a way to disable text notifications, but I did notice they pop up on a secondary lock screen and if I swipe back to the left(which is my home lock screen) dashclock is there.

Ya I noticed that also. Do text appear in the dashclock widget also ? I have that option enabled but for some reason it wont show. Still sucks that you cant have dashclock in use while having a pattern lock but oh well nothing you can do about it.
According to the developer this is an android limitation...but I did see someone mention an AOKP rom had an option to override this.

My wife had this same complaint on her Note 2. One solution that works really well is to set a pin or pattern lock, then use WidgetLocker as the lockscreen.
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.

Hello fellow G2-Users,
One thing that bothers me with this great phone is the lack to customize the stock lockscreen. For example display calendar and weather, changing the clock etc. I know there is WidgetLocker and other apps but i want to keep the great unlocking animation from the stock lockscreen and of course knockoff from lockscreen.
Who else wants this?
Who can make this possible?

I'm using a PIN code for security, so that changes things a bit. On that version of the lock screen, you can swipe from the left and add widgets. Stock lockscreen.

Thx for your suggestion!! iam aware of that and it is also avaible without PIN security. But i want to see my next appointment and weather on the main lockscreen and change the (ugly) stock clock.
Try "Android Weather" app. It has the features you mention, you can make the widget transparent if you want, and it can be added to the lockscreen.

Hey guys, I was just changing my lock screen wallpaper on my Edge when I discovered that you can actually add up to 30 different wallpapers that will rotate every hour on your phone! I know it doesnt sound like a big deal, but absolutely a neat feature that was not talked about. Thanks Sammy! I currently set 8 different wallpapers for mine to rotate throughout the day. If you guys find any little things like this that werent talked about feel free to add them in this thread!:good:
How did you get this to work? Seems like a nice feature
are you referring to the lockscreen wallpapers where they "move" and change every hour? the note 4 has this too
I would love this feature! How'd you turn this on?
Ah, can only be used on the lock screen, not the homescreen.
I just realized this as well. Only the lock screen
Can anyone please post a Video

My GS6 Edge Gold Platinum 64GB is arriving on Friday and this thread is a good idea, keep posting people I want to know all the sexy features of this sexy phone
MultiTask mode where you can have an app floating on your desktop can be accessed as we know through the multiwindow key. But also within any app that can be "multitask" you can easily unlock it for multitask by swiping your finger on "top right or left corner" of the screen of the phone. Meaning outside of the screen to inside of the screen. Thought it was pretty cool too.
hi guys,
i have a question about an icons pack, when i use it with my launcher, everything work normally but some icons, i don't like them and if i open the icons pack app i find that there are other icons for example icon for "Phone" app there is 8 different designs and settings app has 6 other designs ...ect. but how to change the default one by the other in the icons pack app ?
i hope you understand my question.
With Nova prime hold and drag any app too edit on the top of the screen. Then in that box that pops up just selecting the icon picture will bring you to the icon pack selection. Then from in there the individual icon you want. I'm sure most launchers work in a similar manner. Just look up your launcher on google or youtube and how to change individual icons will get you a tutorial.
