Would it be possible to do this? It would make the boring lock screen much more interesting.
There are some apps on Google play which are not bad
But it is battery intensive that's why xiaomi did not add it I guess
Yeah, I guess that's why they killed off live wallpapers too. So any chance to get some dynamism for the lockscreen? For example, Huawei has a changing lockscreen every once in a while. The 24 hour wallpaper is missing for me sadly.

I'm running ShubCraft 1.5 and trying to find a way of changing the wallpaper in the default lockscreen. I have tried LockBot but it was very buggy, half the time didn't stop the default lock screen from appearing (meaning I had two lock screens) and seemed to effect battery life, not to mention removing my Handcent SMS notifications. It was basically unusable.
I have searched to no avail, does anyone know how to change the lockscreen wallpaper without effecting the default homesceeen one?
Cheers.
I know when I was playing with the cyanogen no them version there was two options for changing main and lock wallpaper. That may have something to do with Adw launcher and I take that off right away. so have a looksy at or around those settings.
Edit apparently when the phone locks what you're actually seen is you home wallpaper and thats why its the same.

(Sorry, I can't post links yet!)
Could I ask a few of you guys do me a favor and try testing out some live wallpapers for me? I installed this live wallpaper and loved the way that it looked. The only problem I was having with it, was that whenever I power off my screen while at the home screen, the system hangs and the screen does not immediately shut off. Sometimes it can take as long as 30 seconds for the screen to shut down.
Initially I was using the stripped Verizon ROM and figured it could have something to do with that, so I went back to full stock and it was still doing the same thing. It's not just that live wallpaper either. Using just about any live wallpaper that is a little graphics intensive causes the issue. I have my screen locked with a pattern, but I doubt that has anything to do with it. If I use a normal wallpaper, the problem does not occur, just live wallpaper.
I don't know exactly what could be causing it or if the phone is just that way by design. I have that same live wallpaper installed on my Dinc and the issue is non-existent. It's not really a big deal, as I have some pretty sweet wallpaper pictures. But the animated leaves look sooooo good.
Decided to try out having live origami as my wallpaper, I love it. subtle, not too distracting, low battery consumption and it changes regularly, perfect for my ADD for wallpapers.
However, when I go into settings>display>wallpaper>home+lock and change it to live origami, my homescreen changes no problem, the lock screen does too. But then it resets it to having the light-shaft unlock effect and greys out the option in the lock screen settings.
Is there anyway to prevent this or re-toggle the 'no effect'(just the icon of a lock)?
Did you figure it out
I'm having the same issue as you. Just wondering if you've figured this out already.

Change homescreen only. Can't have live wallpaper on lockscreen and have the light or ripples. Same thing on Note2 with ripple
I think it has to do with performance and possibly look. Samsung can't conttol what the interaction would look like between the live wallpaper and the ripple/light beam.

Kind of the opposite of what my isue is
it defaults TO the light effect and then locks it out from trying anything else. so I have live wallpaper and am forced into the light effect also
Hey guys.
For who already updated to v20a,
Have you guys found that the famous new ambient display is missing from our LG ROM.
and the lockscreen that lg made out of 5.0 is too busy to be used.
the unlock area takes almost half of the screen, and can not be hidden, all my notification has been squeezed to the upper half which makes my lock screen very messy. and the lock screen can not simply just using the same live wall paper as my home screen is using.
So my solution for now is still using my ACdisplay as my lockscreen to get all my app notification, but this app hasnt been optimize for 5.0 and it became the most battery consuming app, it takes almost 25% of the battery which is so annoying.
and i dont get heads-up notification for most of my apps, is this just me or you all dont have this?....................
any suggestion? or better alternatives to be using?

Heads up works fine for apps that actually use this feature - most apps have not been updated to work with heads up yet, its not something that every app automatically does.
Your comments on the lock screen are correct, but sadly this was always going to be the case, we had the same problem when jellybean first introduced lock screen widgets, it took a very long time for everyone to change their own UI's to properly accommodate that feature.
I am not sure I know what you mean by ambient display feature?
Edit: Ah the wake up feature - yeah, that is kernel dependant so it is something we could probably put back in with mods etc but it might impact battery life if not done properly - this might be why LG decided to not include it (that and it might be seen to be copying a Samsung feature).

hey man thanks a lot for all the answers,
and your patient to read my crappy English haha
umm i guess i will go back to acdisplay for now, hopefully they will optimize the app for 5.0 soon.
now my battery usage seems weird.
Acdisplay 32%
hangout 22%
google services 13%
others
and now screen only takes 3%.........
guess this is all due to optimization of the apps?
Remember that percentage is a zero sum game. As other things use less power, other things will use a greater percentage of the total, even if not more actual power.
Hey guys new problem.
My g watch is not showing any notification card. All apps
Any suggestions?
Ambient Display, like on the Moto X?
It's not very smart on the G3, as it uses a IPS display. Moto X uses AMOLED, which only lights up non-black pixels, so the Active Display consumes very little battery, while ours consumes almost the same whether it's full black or bright white.
Yeah, why does LG choose to remove features that we could use in their Android L editions? Also the features like L's new battery saving seems to be missing. Idk why they don't just leave all the features in there.
I totally miss having exposed framework.
I have the DS Bat saver, greenify, boot manager and toast notification.
Have: Nexus 6P stock 6.0.1. Need: some customization. Items in green have a solution.
I've enabled Developer Mode and System UI Tweaker. I'd like to do this without root, or anything that would affect individual Google Play-installable apps. (The reason is, I need this device for final user release testing, so it should be what users have just from factory reset + install apps and normal OS upgrades):
Different wallpaper on Lock Screen than behind icons and widgets. (Tried: http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-lock-screen-wallpaper-help-how-can-i-do.html - No triple dot menu visible in Wallpaper)
Full brightness on Lock screen instead of 90%, independent of brightness settings. ("OK" option: same brightness as manual brightness in Settings) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/home-lockscreen-brightness-t1704705 - no Lock Screen Options in Settings)
Disable peeking globally. ("OK" option: put them in the statusbar like 4.4.4) (I don't want to disable peeking for every new app I install: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Here...ifications-in-Android-6.0-Marshmallow_id75408) Temporary solution: I will manually disable peeking for every new app that shows them.
Global saturation setting for icons. (They're all saying "click ME!", that's an icon designer's job. With an excellent high-contrast screen like this, it's a crowd shouting.) ("OK" option: some other way of getting icons to look more Zen.) Icon packs for launchers are that "OK option", browsing tons on Google Play left Hexacon and Dual Shadow. So Hexacon.
Remove the Google Now bar from my Home Screen (without disabling any services). (As in, I taught the device my voice, so I don't need it there for me to tap. Tried: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-remove-the-google-search-bar-from-your-android-homescreen - it's not long-tappable nor draggable, nor does it appear under Google Apps in Widgets.) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
I'd like to be able to do this:
Some quick way (preferably swipe) to access a more compact Quick Settings widget, like on my Xperia Z. I've reduced it to 9, can't remove "Invert Colors" and Location toggles.
Global Night Mode for everything in the System UI - to make it look similar to the Quick Settings. (This is a "like to" only because it's been promised in N. I really need it like, now. ) Best solution so far: Nova Launcher.
Basically I have the greatest phone, so I want it to look good at all times, and with the aim Clean, Fresh, Zen.
I posted here bc the forum was most specific. Feel free to refer or advise me how to best get answers as I joined tonight.
Any & all advice on single questions is appreciated Not possible is a valid answer, and I'm also prepared to wait for N if that's the answer.
I used to think of "ok google" as a novelty but its become more polished and if it remains reliable Ill continue to use it more& more. As it applies to keeping things clean it sort of does eliminate need for extra widgets.
If you have ok google everywhere u can just say " ok google...launch settings". Same goes for music apps, podcasts, youtube videos etc.
Started using a new app other day you might like called sesame edge. I set it on the right edge, virtually invisible and it brings up quick access to apps.

Thanks, trying it out. Also tried Sesame in the hope that it would let me set a different lock screen wallpaper, but it only had "their automatic lock screen wallpaper or off" as setting. I sent feedback to them, so let's see.

I dont use a lockscreen but on Pure Nexus which Im using now there is an option to set lockscreen wallpaper.
I use action launcher 3 which doesnt allow me to remove google bar (i dont think) but nova will let u do that. I like the bar cuz on action launcher i can put several shortcuts for whatever i want.
ASAP launcher is very minimal. Again you cant REMOVE the bar but swipe down and it turns into a simple clock widget.

Thx, tried Nova and it gives me Night Mode. Thanks for that Still, no way to have a different wallpaper on the lock screen than on the home screen, and I can find no Prime option for it either. Pure Nexus requires CM.
Can I mix and match this type of apps? Will they interfere with each other? Sesame seems to work with Nova at least.
What about Hi Locker? http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/get-back-lock-screen-customization-android-lollipop-0160204/
Can custom lock screens lock me out of my phone, make me butt dial, hog battery? I just want to change the gdmn background!
As I wrote, if some feature comes in N I'd rather wait than mess up my new phone.

Seems Im constantly tweaking things and having problems recalling exactly what I used. I know making lockscreen different from desktop is something Ive done many times. Do u have xposed? Pretty sure gravitybox has that option.
As far as butt dials, I use sweep to wake & it was a problem. Always remember to put it in your pocket screen facing out. I also need to do that when using bt headphones or else i get distortion. Anyways if i find something relevant Ill let u know.
Thx for suggestions!
I want weather, clock, and a background that matches my high-end case on the lock screen AND NOTHING ELSE, and then wherever there are icons I want a neutral background or just a color so I can see them properly. I think that's being a normal user with sensible demands.
Right now a huge dark gray or white slate COVERS the background anyway. I don't mind it, it lets me see the icons of all manner of variety and quality against something neutral, still... just allowing a background to set behind your icons seems to be an easy addition... since Froyo... Anyway, end rant about Simple Things. Android at least lets you customize them.
I'm battling notifications now. Light Manager is recommended for the 6P - testing it out now for notifications that are actually important, will report.
