After a reboot I could no longer select any live wallpaper anymore all of a sudden. I have tried clearing cache and removing all data associated with the Live Wallpaper Picker but nothing has worked! Every time I am getting "Unfortunately the Live Wallpaper picker has stopped" when picking a previously installed live paper. This is VERY frustrating. I am running stock ROM rooted and have re-enabled all previously disabled apps and have unstalled greenify as well just in case. Have rebooted a few times and has not worked.
What I could remember doing was trying to clear all icons from the stock Touchwiz launcher as I am trialling other launchers. Would I have accidentally deleted some vital shortcuts? Removing the shortcuts does not remove the apps themselves, however.
I'm at a lost at what to do and really would prefer having to do a hard reset if possible. It has taken me 2 weeks to set up my Note 3 almost perfectly .....
UPDATE: I just found that I could still load Live Wallpapers IF I return back to touchwiz and set wallpaper via the menu (left) button. However I am still unable to set Live Wallpapers normally via the settings menu - the picker always crashes....
Any advice would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

you could try this go to google play download any live wallpaper ,when downloaded press open and see what happens
tried already. The wallpaper picker will crash just like before. The only way is to get back to Touchwiz interface and use the menu button to set wallpaper. That way I can still select the custom wallpaper. This only occurred AFTER I went to Touchwiz and cleared up all the useless icons from the apps....I must have stuffed up something in TW...

there are some wallpaper picker apk on here do a search see if you can find one for n3
I am too scared to replace the stock apk if its still working via touchwiz. At least it still works. I have probably broken something when i deleted off all the shortcuts in the TW desktop.

This happened to me when I had too many live wallpapers installed, it couldn't load the list. (about 30). Don't suppose that could be it?

Did you ever get a solution to the live wallpaper crashing problem? I have the same exact problem.

I get this as well, in Nova, LWP crashes. If I load Touchwiz Home, it works fine. Kind of irritating to swap launchers just to change the LWP settings.

Thanks for posting this, hadn't thought to try setting the live wallpaper from tw home. I had touchwiz home frozen with TB. Unfroze it, set the live wallpaper from tw home, and live wallpaper is back in Nova. It wasn't enough to merely unfreeze tw home, I had to set the live wallpaper from there too.

I have touchwiz running, simple and easy and I swapped between them, but the live wallpaper still crashes. Even after putting the .apk in the system/app folder and changing the permissions, etc. I'm running Sacs rom on an S4.
Unfortunately Live Wallpaper Picker has stopped - Fix
1. Backup and Uninstall the system
[Live Wallaper Picker]
{livewallpaperspicker.apk}
ONLY (NOT livewallpapers.apk) with [Lucky Patcher](you need to enable system files in Lucky Patcher) or some other App like that (you don't need to uninstall any already installed live wallpapers).
2. Download many livewallpaperspicker.apk you can find all over the internet for different Android versions(doesn't matter even if the version is not specified, download anything you can). (btw, I am using a LiveWallpapersPicker.apk by cycloneblast which I found in another thread. I've no idea what version it targets)
3. Install the livewallpaperspicker.apk for the Android version you are running.
4. If it still says unfortunately live wallpaper picker... then Install other versions and test them(you don't need to restart your device).
5. If still not working, then remove odex file of the Live Wallpaper Picker with Lucky Patcher and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. If STILL not working then remove corpses with [SD Maid](you need to enable system files in it's settings first which is usually turned off when you install it). WARNING: Use at your own RISK.
Hi. I have outlined the fix for this in my video on youtube here: youtubeDOTcom/watch?v=7DlTBr8r2Ws
I am having a strange experience with my Note 3 Neo Duos (N7502). When I install any other launcher (Go, Nova, Solo, etc). It installs fine and I select a theme of my choice. It all looks great. But after SOME HOURS, the wallpaper is replaced with the default wallpaper, which is all blue. Once that happens, I can no longer select ANY non-stock wallpaper with ANY launcher. Even with Go Launcher I cannot select a Go wallpaper. Has anyone had this experience?

The default is just the plain blue wallpaper. But that is not the issue. the issue is that any non-stock wallpaper I select is NOT selectable. But I can select any stock wallpaper, including the live wallpapers.
Every sim has its own wallpaper ! when you change the wallpaper you actually chnage it for the default sim. when sim 2 is used, the wallpaper assigned to it shows.
to see wallpaper being changed: put "Dual sim" Widget on your screen ; change the active sim and you'll see your wallpaper immediately changes.
I hope you understand my English.
I'm guessing a screenshot will help us to help you solve your problem.

Yes That's The Reason!!
by switching your sim card,the wallpaper and screen lock wall will change!!
and even when you switch it,even the sms will be send via that number with 3rd party sms apps Like Go SMS
i.e. if u select sim 2 and rply a sms, go sms will send your MSG by the second SIM Num!! LOL
Many thanks! I now see it is related to the active SIM. I followed the advise here and it works.
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.
I've rooted my HD 10 2017 (5.6.0.0), installed google services/play store etc, then unrooted. One thing I don't see how to change is the lockscreen wallpapers. Whenever I turn on the display there's another wallpaper there. They're very nice but how do I replace them with a single wallpaper, such as the same one I'm using when unlocked?
Perhaps related - the app Magic Fluids has an option for live wallpapers but it doesn't work on this device. I wonder if it's for a related reason?
I did disable a bunch of amazon apps but I was fairly careful and I don't remember any mentioning wallpapers.

The simple no frills way... Settings --> Display --> Wallpaper
Your wallpaper and lock screen background will be the same. There may be some apps out there on Google play that will set each individually, but I haven't tried yet. I only got my HD10 yesterday and rooted and installed all the Google stuff. Pleasantly surprised I got YouTubeTV to work. Love this tablet so far.
EDIT.. answered my own question... I installed Google Wallpapers and set a wallpaper there and it changed my home screen but my lock screen seems to be controlled by the Amazon wallpaper settings. So set your lock screen wallpaper first via the settings menu, and then go get Google wallpapers (others may work too) and set your homescreen.
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.
