any idea on how to set a different lock screen wallpaper? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

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.

Definitely go for Widgetlocker.
Widgetlocker!!! its brill
Like others have said, Widget Locker is probably the best. It's available for $0.99 in the Amazon App Store and it's one of their best selling apps (that's how I found out about it).
Thanks guys, just got it. agreed its the nuts!
the other little thing pissing me off, cant customise the powercontrol widget.

Yes, it got something to do with homehelper.
Go to advanced settings/homehelper/ and check the boxes for 'Homehelper Block Home & Block Home In Other Apps'.
That did the trick for me.

Same but I want something which works with Samsung's music player's lockscreen widget.
Where I don't need to unlock phone to change tracks, pause /play etc.
Anyone got any ideas???
You can change the background under Settings > Display > Screen display > Lock screen > Wallpaper

WidgetLocker has full widget capabilities. As long as it's a standard widget that can be added through the widget menu, you should be fine to add it to the WidgetLocker screen.

extended controls (0.99)
I'm using the stock android pattern lockscreen.
when I enable widget locker it appears an icon in the notification tab. Is there a way to remove that?

Extended Controls. Market search it. It is the best one you could ever imagine. It does cost, but I bought it (and I am one cheap-skate! ) Great app. Allows you to easily make the powercontrol widget, with a number of themes, or icon packs. Very useful app.
I remember when I bought it, there are a number of different apps that do the same thing. But this one just looked the best at the time, so have a quick read of the info on each app.

App for changing lock screen wallpaper automatically.

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.

You realize the full screen includes the side home screens to the left and right of the main home screen? Did you swipe over to the sides to see the rest of the image?

Use a third party launcher like Apex or Nova. There is a setting that will allow the wallpaper to all be on screen and not move when scrolling.

Or you can download this app and it will be an option when you go to set a wallpaper

Or, create your own wallpaper with that image in the center and black or something else to either side.

[Q] Stock Android Widgets now 3x1. How dot I fix this?

If any of you have GEL installed, you would know that the Google Play Music widget that was 4x1 is now 3x1. I am assuming this is to do with the DPI changes. How do I fix this?
Also it would be good if the icons were smaller.
Screenshot as a reference.

If memory serves me right, by pressing and holding on the Homescreen, you'll see a settings menu for GEL. That might solve your problem.

Nope sorry. The settings come up, but they are settings for google search as opposed to the actual launcher.

Is there anything in the regular Settings menu for this?
if not, you might want to try an alternative Launcher. There is one on google play that looks just like GEL : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kk.launcher

Change lock screen wallpaper

So, I'm using the Nova Launcher Prime instead of the stock OOS launcher. Is there any way of changing the lock screen wallpaper without switching back to stock launcher and changing it from there?
When I use the gallery (QuickPic) to change the wallpaper it changes both the lock screen and the desktop wallpaper...

When you on homescreen open menu(I have it on long press fp sensor) then choose wallpaper and select one. When saving you can choose if it will be set as home, lock or both.

As I mentioned earlier, I use Nova Launcher instead of the stock launcher.
Every gallery that I tried using (even the stock one) has got only the "SET AS >> WALLPAPER" option.
There is no "SET AS >> LOCK SCREEN WALLPAPER" option anywhere except the stock launcher - which I don't like to use.
Am I missing something here?

You may not read my post correctly. You don't need any gallery for that.
Just follow my instructions. I'm using Nova Launcher since years and I have the option is always there just checked a second ago . Don't start by selecting a picture with any gallery app!
