Live Wallpaper - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello,
With the new interface we have 3 screens
AOD
Lock Screen
Dock screen
Ok when we want to change wallpapers we have
Wallpapers
Infinity live paper
Yes why not, but the infinity are both for the dock and lock screen. If i want a picture for the lock and a live wallpaper for the dock. How can i do that.
Impossible. The only way is to have a live wallpaper that u can open in the drawer and go to the list !!! fantastic no !! (see my screenshot)
Same for the lock screen
Before we can add widget on it like sahk widget and shortcuts. effects on the lock was ripple effects and firefly. Now we can't. No widget, no effect, if someone have an idea. It will be cool because the lock screen on th market seems not to be fine

Live wallpapers are fun but my experience has always been that they degrade the overall performance of the phone. I installed Google Wallpapers and it automatically cycles wallpapers once a day. I may try the live wallpapers again but in my opinion they aren't worth the performance hit.

I have a HD live wallpaper on my galaxy s8 and I see no degration in performance and it sucks very little battery to the point I can't really notice it. The issue I have is I can't seem to have a live wallpaper on my lock screen as I can't see an option in the settings. On my galaxy s5 I could have both a live wallpaper on my home screen and a different live wallpaper on my lock screen but on the s8 I can't seem to do that?

From where i can change 3rd party live wallpaper?

I use "Hologram Background" to set my homescreen with a 3D live wallpaper, and I leave my lockscreen with a static wallpaper. No performance or noticeable battery degradation whatsoever when used with Nova Launcher. You can also set a live wallpaper for the lockscreen only, and static for home if you want.

[Q] Live Wallpaper on lock screen

On my phone running 2.3 the lockscreen shows whatever wallpaper I normally have including live wallpapers. However, it looks like in 3.1 you need to choose a separate wallpaper for the lockscreen and it won't let me choose a live wallpaper. Does anyone know a work around for this?

How to set full screen wallpaper Galaxy Tab 10.1 ?

how to set full screen wallpaper on Galaxy Tab 10.1 ?
i have 1280*800 wallpapers and try... I don't want to crop my wallpaper
i'm already try to search but no answer. Thx.
Go to the Market and download Wallpaper Wizardrii
It will allow you to set an image without having to crop it like the Gallery does.
It will also allow you to set the image as scrollable or static.

i tried wizardii and selecto no scrool but its auto crop my wallpaper (1280*800) i wanna direct set full wallpaper.
try multi picture live wallpaper it handles some wallpapers quite well without having to manually resize/crop them.
i dont live wallpaper. only static wallpaper.
Make your picture 1920x1200 or something like this and not 1280x800 because Android would need bigger picture because of scrolling.

multi picture live wallpaper app handles static pictures also. i am using it to put separate 1280*800 picture for each screen
What they don't tell you
I have looked at this for a little while and still can't seem to get it to work as I would like it to.
I found my wallpapers were cropped while rotating screens.
With the launcher and the wizardii wallpaper I set the landscape wallpaper while the device is in portrait mode and use set Stretch Landscape.
Using a static wallpaper and the scroll off.
It still appears to crop a little but you will have a full screen image in Landscape and portrait modes (like the 5 native wallpapers when you use the default wallpaper settings).
Simple Image Wallpaper Free is all you need. It's in the Google Play store and its awesome. Forget Wallpaper Wizardrii, it's garbage.

Brought this thread back from the dead just to thank you for this recommendation! Downgraded my Note Pro 12.2 to KitKat so I could root, and the cropping wallpaper problem reared its ugly head. Tried all kinds of screwy apps and supposed solutions before finding your recommendation. It's been perfect for a week now, including reboots. Thanks again!

Difference between homescreen and lockscreen wallpaper

Howdy,
I have a wallpaper that I am trying to use on the lockscreen and homescreen. It looks perfect on the lockscreen but when I unlock the phone the homescreen version is zoomed/cropped a bit. Maybe 20-30 pixels on each side? Hard to tell exactly how much, but its enough to render this particular wallpaper useless and I don't understand what is causing it. I am setting both home and lock screen wallpapers at the same time through the settings->display menu. Why is the homescreen wallpaper being zoomed and essentially cropped?
Running a Beans 6-ified Note 3.
Thanks!

Lockscreen wallpaper

Is any one else having the problem of the lockscreen wallpaper from the theme in engine stretching the wallpaper about 50% of the time when waking the phone. Also it automatically centers the wallpaper. Is there a way to fix this?
I don't have any personal experience with the issue you're describing, but I have had issues with the lock screen wallpaper. I found that using the Photos application to choose and crop the picture didn't work. I had to use Gallery.

Can't set other Live Wallpapers with MIUI/Pixel Live Wallpaper disappear

Hey!
I install the Google Pixel Live Wallpapers on the phone, but the MIUI Settings doesn't recognize the wallpaper, so I have install Google Wallpapers App. And they will show it up and I can set as Default Live Wallpaper. But after a few times turn on and off the screen, the Google Live Wallpaper replace it through one of Xiaomis Stock Wallpaper.
Are there any options, where I can set Non Xiaomi live wallpapers as Default wallpaper? Settings-> Wallpaper I only can choose the 4 installed live wallpapers....
Even Xiaomi's own 24h live wallpaper doesn't work for me. I think live wallpapers are completely broken on global ROM right now.
I've also noticed that my lock screen settings don't stick and it changes to my home wallpaper after a reboot. It's a mess.
Yes, I realize that xiaomis live wallpaper have the same issue. it always replace it with a stock wallpaper..
But I found out, there is a way to set custom live wallpaper with MIUI. You can copy a mp4 video in a miui folder, then you can choose it and set it as lockscreen and homescreen without third party apps. But there are still the same bug with the live wallpaper
