I came straight from the Note 5 to the S8, so I never experienced the way wallpapers were updated on the S7. So I'm a bit frustrated and confused. On one hand I really like the new 'Tilt & Change' wallpapers for the lockscreen. Even the animated ones. But here are the questions I can't seem to find help for:
1. Can I make my own 'Tilt & Change' wallpapers? and how?
2. Is there a way around having to use the damn theme store to set my wallpaper?
3. Can I get rotating wallpapers back without having to buy pre-made ones from the store?
4. I can see that they still have rotating wallpapers but they are now called 'Multipacks'. How can I make and install my own instead of having to buy them now?
5. Why did Samsung remove these customization options in the first place?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Just checked and these are the new options. 'Multi Wallpaper' (rotating) 'Motion Wallpaper' (tilt to change) and 'Animated Wallpaper'. How do I make them and set them as wallpapers?

I can only seem to change the home tab wallpaper, and the lock screen one. I've looked and searched through forum and perhaps I'm just not using the right words when I search, but I'm trying to find a way to give each tab it's own wall paper. What am I missing? Is there a cab file somewhere? Or am I just being that dumb and not seeing some obvious setting?
I've had my htc hd2 for only a week and a half roughly, so I'm still getting used to it.
Thanks.
As far as I'm aware, there's not currently a way to set different wallpaper for each tab. The options are to have wallpaper on the home tab, with the grey background for the rest of them, or to have the same wallpaper on all tabs.
Obviously the latter is the more popular choice.

Hi everyone,
First post here, so I hope I won't make any mistakes.
I recently got a Wildfire, and I installed LauncherPro as my new home.
It's great, I like it, but I have a few questions :
-How can i change the text color of the default widgets? Cause the text is white at the moment, which sucks with any wallpaper that's not black. I'd like to change the color, but I didn't find anything.
- I heard that I could have live wallpapers with LauncherPro.
How can I set one? When i try to switch wallpaper, the "live wallpaper" icon doesn't show, so I can only set my photos, or the HTC ones..
Thanks in advance guys =)

Dunno about font but u need to root to be able to use live wallpapers. I'm using launcherpro+ and i think my battery runs out faster? Is it possible that sense is running on the back or something?

Hi,
Yes it's possible with a theme, you need a rom that supports Theme Chooser, something like that:

Or you need a VrTheme (flashable zip), I quickly looked but I have not found one.
Thanks
thats nice
I still feel someone can make a theme which is just like how google now looks .
But these will do
Is itc possible for the following.
1. Change colour of Google search on the home screen
2. Have more options for shortcuts in the lockscreen Carousel like below it I already have 3 including unlock
3 Have music toggle (isn't an option on my ROM (root box))
So I have a few questions I have yet to find questions to anywhere.
1) Why when I set the wallpaper from an icon pack does it only change the homescreen and not the lockscreen? This is with multiple icon packs and I cannot figure out why. It seems like I always have to go through settings to change both at the same time, but this will not let me use icon pack wallpapers.
2) Why am I forced to use the light unlock effect when using a live wallpaper? I have mine set to no effect, but as soon as I set a live wallpaper I am forced back to the light effect and the setting to change it is greyed out.
Thanks for the help guys. Sorry if there are already enough questions on this.
This is actually an S5 Neo question, but something that works for the S5 may also work for me. I asked this question in the S5 Neo Q&A forum, but got no response, so I thought I'd try here.
I'm looking for a UI theme that can be applied to my phone which would only change the lockscreen portion, and leave the rest of the existing theme (icons, homescreen, settings, phone, contacts, etc) unchanged.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo model SM-G903W (Canada), running Android Nougat 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1 with TouchWiz Home 6.1.85.12. I am rooted, with TWRP.
I really dislike the standard theme lockscreen clock, which shows hours stacked on top of minutes.
The Samsung store has themes with a normal digital clock, but I don't want to change the rest of my UI, only the lockscreen. (I know I can install the new theme, then overwrite the icons and wallpaper with my old theme, but the phone, contacts, settings menu and so forth remain with the new theme.)
Can anyone point me to a theme that only overwrites the lockscreen? I'm talking about the clock format, not the lockscreen wallpaper (which is trivial to change).
Otherwise, is it possible to extract the lockscreen portion of a theme and install only that? It looks like Samsung themes for Nougat are a closed system and development tools are hard to come by, so I'm not sure if any of the "Basic APK & Theming Thread" in the XDA-University forum is applicable. Advice on whether I can modify the theme myself would be appreciated. If this is something that would be simple to change using Sungstratum, then that could be an option.
An example which takes a desired set of icons from a theme package, and places it into an icon-only package, is given by this post: <https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/samsung-theme-store-icon-hack-icon-theme-t3628253>. I would be grateful for guidance on doing something similar with only the lockscreen from a theme package.
Other ways to get a normal clock, which I have rejected:
- Install a new lockscreen app -- I'm happy with the functionality of the Samsung default lockscreen (except the ugly clock!)
- Create a permanent notification, which causes the clock to display on one line -- I don't want to have the notification
- Downgrade to Android 6 -- I'd like to stay with Nougat
- Samsung Good Lock app -- not compatible with Nougat on the S5 Neo
Thanks for any help,
Justin
