If you go to the Play Store you'll find more than 1 ...
I meant using the default lock screen how do you set a live wallpaper, if its possible. I don't see an option to set anything but a static image.

nope, there's no default live lock screen, there is a Dynamic Lock Screen but is not the same as live one.

I'm sure someone at some point in time since the launch of live wallpapers have asked this question. I wanna know how to close live wallpapers, especially since I am using my Xoom a lot. It's most annoying, I cannot seem to come up with a good solution. I've tried using task managers to close the live wallpapers but they always stay in the memory. The only way I know how to close down a live wallpaper is to replace it will a still wallpaper from the gallery. Is there a better or possibly other way to close down a live wallpaper without having to replace it with a non live wallpaper? Ideas would be most appreciated!
Surely someone might have an answer?
What are you asking? Do you want a live wallpaper, but have it stuck in a static position?
The live wallpapers can't be paused or whatever, you either have to choose live or static wallpapers.
Like you said, if you want to "close" the live wallpaper, just replace it with a normal one and it won't drain your battery anymore...
I thought maybe the live wallpaper would apply over the existing static wallpaper I had set just like a filter, instead of replacing it totally just so I wouldn't have to reset my static wallpaper. But I guess a wallpaper is the same... live or not.

umm no... the live wallpaper isn't going to keep running in the background if you replace it with another wallpaper. It doesn't layar your wallpapers when you change them. Its either live or it isn't...
I knew that but needed to make sure. Thanks. I only asked because the live wallpapers run like an app because it appears in task killers unlike a normal wallpaper, but that's because it's not still but animated.

I absolutely hate having 2 separate wallpapers (one for lock screen and one for regular wallpaper). I wish samsung would have at least included the stock wallpapers. Also sucks live wallpapers can't be applied to the lock screen. I'm wondering if the I/o version can be ported to the retail 10.1 because I believe it is more like stock honeycomb.

I believe separate wallpapers for home and lock screens is a new feature of Android 3.1. The I/O devices originally came with 3.0.1 (although there is now an OTA update for 3.1) and showed the same wallpaper for both home and lock. When I updated my I/O device to 3.1 my lock screen wallpaper was suddenly different. So I just went in and changed it to the same image i used for my home wallpaper.
Speaking of nitpicking. Who is the guy that made the "Set as" menu for the wall papers?
You have...
"Lock screen Wallpaper Home screen Wallpaper"
Was kinda confusing the first time I'm looking at this long jumble of words. Needs some extra spacing a divider or something between the two options.
search the market for honeycomb wallpapers.
My lockscreen is widgetlocker so it doesn't bother me at all.
I like it.
However the cropping sucks and not having honeycomb wallpaper is dumb.
I don't understand what you guys are talking about..
just push the plus icon, then go to wallpaper and when you get the "set as" dialog, click "Lock screen wallpaper" and select the same one you have as your "Home screen Wallpaper". What's the issue here?

This. I've downloaded the stock wallpapers online but when they are cropped they look like sh*t. I get a blurry wallpaper that looks like its in 8 bit color.

That is interesting, but I think its a Samsung thing. My xoom on 3.1 did not have that option. I'm going to try rooting and see if someone on the xoom forum will share their launcher.apk. Apparently that is where the wallpapers are stored. Maybe I can just repace the Samsung launcher with the moto one? Idk

I posted this in a couple other threads, maybe we need a "Tips & Tricks" sticky: If you don't want your wallpapers to get cropped, use an app called Wallpaper Slideshow which will let you set wallpapers without cropping them.
Thanks, I will check it out. Will it let me also set my lockscreen wallpaper to the same wallpaper? If not, got any suggestions?

You can set your lockscreen wallpaper from the Gallery app but it will crop it.
Hello
I'm looking for an app which will change the lock screen wallpaper automatically. I tried the "Wallpaper Changer" from market. But it changes the home screen Wallpapers only. Any app there for lock screen? also I want to use the native lock screen itself. Thanx!
Why don't you try Settings>Display>Screen Display>Lock Screen Wallpaper
or you can go to a image the press the edit button and choose set as lock screen.
At least read the damn post!
The guy is asking for something that automatically changes the wallpaper, I would asume at a predefined or even random time.
@OP
I dont know of any app only for home screen wallpapers though, sorry cant be much of a help.

Yes I know how to change it manually. But wanted it auto like every few minutes or whenever I unlock the screen which would have been cool to look at different lock screen Wallpapers everytime u look at the screen
well thanx guys. Hope someone will make an app for this!
I use flikie HD to change my homescreen wallpaper, then I choose the lock screen option to change the picture to my wallpaper.which means it changes as per the schedule i set on flikie

Hi,
You can probably do that with "Tasker" but this is not the cheapest app

You can definitely do this with Tasker. As stated though not the cheapest app if this is the only thing you'll use it for. Steep learning curve too. Still, its an option.

It will be nice to select the photo automatically from an local album or even better from Picasa.

Use CM locker, its change your wallpaper daily.. Yes daily that's my problem, I need an app that change my lockscreen wallpaper every hour.
Hi guys, try "Hi Locker" from Lockdown Team. You can change it every 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.
How do I set the lockscreen wallpaper on OOS Beta? I use Muzei and it changes the desktop wallpaper, but not the lockscreen wallpaper. There used to be an option to set the lockscreen wallpaper to the desktop wallpaper.
Much thanks!
Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alicantedevelopers.lockscreenchangercm13 maybe this works.
But your phone has to be rooted.
On the stock oos beta, just go on the [wallpaper / widget / settings] (by touching the drawer on a blank 2 sec), and you'll have the option to change the wallpaper, just swipe to the right, and you will have an option for the lockscreen. (don't forget to click on save)
I would love to know this as well

Well, that's actually not the problem. The actual problem is, that there is no option for the lockscreen to use the same wallpaper that is used on the homescreen. It's also not possible to choose Muzei as wallpaper source for the lockscreen, which really bothers me, and as I guess, the op too.

I'm also using Muzei and facing the same problem...
I tried creating a symlink for /data/system/users/0/keyguard_wallpaper pointing to /data/system/users/0/wallpaper, didn't solve the problem. I also tried deleting the file, didn't help.

First off I'm using Apex launcher( not sure if it matters). I Press on a any blank part of the screen in the menu prompt choose Wallpaper, then on pick image scroll over to wallpapers. there you can set your Home screen and your Lock screen saving each one individually.

Yes, but here we are talking about having both the lock screen wallpaper and home wallpaper in sync. So for example using Muzei, which automatically switches periodically the Home screen wallpaper, it also changes the lock screen wallpaper so you have the same in both places.

Well ... now on 3.0.2 ... still no solution. tsk tsk.
I've been looking around it doesn't seems to be a way to do that.
Just click and hold on your home screen... Select wallpaper and it will ask you if you have it on home screen, lock screen or both

Try that already but I don't get the choice to do it,it just sets the wallpaper for both automatically.

I use Google Wallpapers app that Pixel phones have. There are a lot of different wallpapers and you get the choice of home/lock screen or both.
