[Nougat Beta] Lockscreen LWP? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Is it possible to set a live wallpaper on the lockscreen in this Beta? I only see an option for static wallpapers. No biggy. Just curious.

There is a thing named motion wallpaper which supports a color changing effect on lockscreen although it delivers a couple wallpapers.

I don't think that's quite what OP wants. I was looking for the same thing but it seems the stupid ass wallpaper theme store only supports static wallpapers and I can't set lockscreen wallpapers from the homescreen. I think it's a bug that'll go away when the release is official

Thanks. Yeah, saw that. They are a little... underwhelming. Was hoping for full control over this.

Note 7 Rom had the same got round it by using wallpaper picker doesn't work on nought maybe someone knows how to get it working

Is there no work around for the live wallpaper?

I tried a few different wallpaper choosers and launchers, and can't get Live Wallpapers to work. Looks like Samsung removed LWP on Lockscreen functionality. Too bad. I really wanted to use some of those gorgeous pixel wallpapers.

What resolution wallpapers are the best?

Hi guys, it seems that when I use ADW EX launcher, sometimes the wallpapers that fit PERFECTLY in the original launcher become stretched out widescreen style; and I end up having black bars at the top and bottom of the homescreen.
Meaning, when I use wallpaper wizaardrii in regular launcher to set a wallpaper, it looks beautiful and well scaled. However, if I switch launchers to ADW, the same wallpaper does not fit anymore; even if I use wallpaper wizardrii to set it.
I wonder why this happens?
And most importantly, what resolutioni wallpapers do you guys usually use?
I am looking at www.interfacelift.com; and they have a plethora of resolutions, I just need to find out which one I should be downloading.
thanks
It seem that this is an issue with ADW EX (lots of folks are having the same issue). Others, including myself have got around the problem by installing an app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. It allows you to set a differet background for each home screen and it's wallaper scaler works properly.... Nt a solution, but a work-around untl ADW EX is updated.

Could you please elaborate? What is the 'wallpaper hack'? And what does it do?

If you go into the ADW settings and check under general settings, it should be there. I don't understand what it really does but it makes the scrolling smoother.

Well the screen is 1280 pixels maximum
So to get a wallpaper that works in both orientations, it would need to be 1280x1280

No it wouldn't FFS! if you haven't tried it don't knock it
It's 1610 x 1280 and it works perfectly tried and tested
Multipicture wallpaper was what I've been looking for, but had no idea how to search for what I wanted in the market... THX!

What website is best for galaxy tab wallpaper? Also whenever I find a wallpaper it never never sets it properly. It always either cuts it off or makes it 10 times bigger than the screen. I know the Tab is 1280x800 but it just doesn't seem to fit it even though its the correct resolution...
I'm using multipicture live and it allows you to crop and set wallpaper s as well as let you set multiple wallpapers on all your screens. Hope this helps
I use the app Droid Iris for finding wallpapers. Same as mentioned above I also use Multipicture Live Wallpaper to set the image to fullscreen.

Ripple effect makes pictures washed out on lockscreen

So this is my first topic here and since everyone seems so nice I figured this would be the best place to ask this question. Whenever I find a really good locksreen picture it seems as having the ripple effect just complelty washes out the picture and makes it look horrible. I realize that you can disable that effect but I personally like it. So I guess what my question is if there is any way to keep the ripple effect yet have HD like pictures on my lockscreen with the original resolution?
I get my wallpapers from the Zedge app and they all look great on the lockscreen w/ ripple effect. It could just be an issue with the resolution of the wallpapers you're using.

I noticed it with dark wallpapers. I mostly go with dark setups so I had to disable the ripple effect.

Ok this is probably in then because I love dark lockscreens as well =/ well thats kind of disappointing =(
It's emulating water on top of the picture. So yea its gonna be shiny looking, but best bet is to go with vibrant color on lock screen

I was going to make a thread asking the same question, oh well problem solved.

What lockscreen do you use?

Try to make my lock screen more efficient or helpful. I have been trying several lock screen replacements/widgets recently. Wondering if I am missing any good ones and wonder what everyone else uses?
Stock? Stock w/dashclock? Widget locker? Cover? Start? Other? Let me know, thanks!
Stock.
Ditto, stock
best choice
go locker with carnival theme is the best

Stock but have always wondered why if you have any security (i use pattern) all the cool widget stuff is gone.
Started using COVER now, the updated version is cool. The moat intelligent lockscreen.

I tried cover, I don't understand peek really. I mean I get it, you can peek at the app, but you can only see so much before you have dragged it to the point where it just unlocks. And I don't have a lot of variation in my useage, so my apps list was mostly the same no matter where I was. I do like that it can change wallpapers based on where you are though. If they could incorporate the ability to change lockscreen widgets based on location that might make it better for me.
I like dashclock widget, but I hate that I have to expand it in order to actually click on my message to open into the messaging app. But I think I found an xposed mod to fix that, gonna try it out.

Wallpaper issue

So my issue is whenever I set an image as a wallpaper other than an official one, the image looks like the first image attached.
There is a grey bar where the status bar is.
No, battery saver is not on.
The second picture attached is an official wallpaper. No weird discoloration.
Anyone else have this issue?
Same here, it's a bug.. Also s7 has this bug.
Workaround: download multipicture live wallpaper from play Store
I have the same issue. But it's only noticeable on black wallpapers. Any other color seems to mask it, for me at least.

Yes same here, the above suggestion does help but not perfectly. Google's wallpaper app seems to do a better job but it's still noticeable. I hope it gets corrected in the future.
i just noticed this bug yesterday trying to set a black wallpaper from my images....really anoying.
weird that only happens with black wallpapers
I think that it will happen when using pure black wallpaper.
If you are using nova launcher, you will turn on home-screen gradation.
A little better look;q
