Yes, as weird as it sounds. I'm on stock oreo (but I've always had this problem, even on stock nougat) and sometimes when I use the camera my wallpaper is reset to default afterwards, it's really annoying because It happens like 1/3 of the times and I have to keep setting my wallpaper. I couldnt find any information about this problem so I don't know where to start, I've tried with other camera apps and with some of them it happens less often, maybe it has something to do with ram usage (I have the 2GB version) . Any help is appreciated.
Here's a video showing the problem:

It due to wallpaper app has stopped working, maybe due to ram management or as the app in external storage.

Yeah but isn't the wallpaper setting saved somewhere? That way if the app stops working it just looks at that setting and keeps the wallpaper that I set when It starts working again. Maybe the solution would be using a different wallpaper app that properly manages that.

You can try using the system wallpaper app to keep working the wallpaper, just take a screenshot of your wallpaper and the use the system app and save it.

I was using the system wallpaper app but I was using that feature that sets a random wallpaper every day. I have set a fixed wallpaper now and I haven't got any problems so far. I guess it was just that feature that didn't work properly when the app force-closed due to ram usage.

Hello everyone,
Mine is a strange issue. I rooted my wildfire using downgrade method from this forum and flashed it to 2.1 with Hboot 1.01.001 and then installed CM7 stable build as suggested by the thread.
everything was good and then suddenly the icons and the text has been burried under so i need to touch it by judging what it is from the icon.
please help.!!.
Can you post a screen shot?

Could just need the simple icon size adjustments in adw?
" once its gone,its GONE."
Well I use go launcher and I have the option to turn off the names under them, so is it possible you've click on a similar setting in adw?

I checked everything on ADW,nothing works.how to take screenshot ?
Depends what cyanogenmod you have. If you have 7.1.0.1 then hold the down the power button and select screen shot. If not then you'll need a screen shot app

Ohh thank you so much. You guys are wonderful. I did something and now the icons are showing in full.
Is it possible to have live animated wallpapers as background on home screen ?
if yes, will that slow the entire phones operation.
The reason i'm asking is this
I tried overclocking and after reboot the phone was working ok,but i don't notice any faster than before.

Well when you overclocked did you select the "Set at boot" checkbox because else when you reboot the phone slows back to default speeds. Also, to enable live wallpapers long-touch a blank space in the home screen and touch "wallpapers">"live wallpapers" to select one. The default "nexus" one works fine with little lag for me on the overclock settings shown in my signature
Thank you so much Matt.
The overclocking is now working good,yes i didn't ticked the CPU set at boot. ON live wallpaper-- when i click live wallpaper all i see is google maps. and nothing else on the list.
I guess i have to get a seperate live wall paper.
Do i need to reboot my phone to make the CPU overclock settings to be implemented ?.
Thanks once again.
A lot of users are facing this problems:

Biggest TW4 bug that drove me crazy in XXKQE was that apps and icos sorted spontaneously every time i rebooted phone, and even sometimes when phone was running. Additionaly icons in dock bar used to return to defaults (I change stock messaging app to other one) very often. And lockscreen wallpaper couldn't be set to "none". That's all I've noticed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and i wanted to share my workarounds:
if you have better ideeas post here please.
You can workaround both issues:
1) For TW4 find the apk under settings select it and delete data. all icons form app will be sorted alfabetical and desktop apps will be set to the default ones. Then set desktop as you wish and reboot to recovery and fix permisions. The apps will be saved at this.
2)For no lock screen wallpaper select no wallpaper from display setting then boot to recovery and fix permisions.
Remeber:
You must repeat (1) for TW4 for every new app you install and every new app shortcut to desktop you make.
You must repeat (2) for every time you set a lockscreen wallpaper and then you want to select no wallpaper again.
Best of luck
Many people might already know that, but regarding the apps getting sorted there is an app called appzorter. It sorts the apps for you. Either by name or by installation date.

Not quite sure what I'm missing, but I can't get my wallpaper to scale correctly. It is consistently zoomed in such that what should be a really crisp, beautiful wallpaper (such as to those bundled with CM 10.1), is instead fuzzy around the edges. I've tried messing with both my launcher (Apex) settings and my developer settings, but to no avail. Any help? What more information should I provide?

Use something like quickpic or wallpaper wizardii or my preferred simple image wallpaper not sure why this always happens but don't fret just use an app and itll scale down properly

I have the same experience, QuickPic provides sharper wallpapers than standard Gallery. Use it to set your wallpaper (otherwise I think the default gallery is better for viewing photos (smoother))
Simple Image Wallpaper Free from the play store works great and very easy to use. if you decide to use it, you wont find with the other apps. long press the screen, hit live wallpaper, and there it is. after that its easy

Im using it but I dont like that you cant choose that the wallpaper doesnt move. When I set the wallpaper, it scales good, but on the homescreen only, on the other screens I have to choose a colour to be shown because the image doesn't cover all the homescreens. Hope you understood me, sorry for my english.
i also found simple image wallpaper free to provide the best visual quality. i especially enjoy its ability to define completely different images for landscape and portrait orientations. that is a stylish effect, and it is very unexpected (compared to usual themes).
somehow, wallpaper wizardrii and other apps which use an image instead of a live wallpaper provoke my n10 to occasionally reset the background to that ugly green leaf... i don't know if anyone has already fixed this since the last time i checked.
Multipicture live wallpaper let's you set any amount of pictures to rotate as the background or you can set a single picture... Works great with no crazy android zooming

Make sure your wallpaper is sized properly for the launcher you are using. If you are using the stock launcher, the wallpaper should be 3966x2560. This will fit your wallpaper perfectly in the 5 home screens...with the center of the image being in the main home screen.
I tried Simple Image wallpaper but could not stand the fact that it always runs and uses 13 MB of RAM. Great program just hate that it needs to run all the time.

Hmmm. I killed the process and the wallpaper disappeared so I assumed it needed to run as long as I wanted the wallpaper to fit perfectly. I will try that thanks for the tip. Weird that leaving it installed but killing it didn't work.....

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder, it's just setting the wallpaper (you can uninstall it) but it does it properly. Maybe even with some sharpening, I don't know. The result is simply good.
Search ”image 2 wallpaper” on the play store. Works perfectly for me.

Hi I've just flashed foxhound rom 0.8 on to my s4 but when I go to change my lock screen wallpaper, the option to choose from gallery is not there. only from the default wallpapers. for home screen the options come out but not for lock screen. Any idea why? I can't Post on the developers thread yet. so if anyone has a solution or could help me post there it would be much appreciated. a couple of guys asked about it before but no one gave a solution.
Thanks.

What launcher are you using? How about navigating to your preferred image in Gallery, then trying to set it as wallpaper from there?
Im using Nova Launcher. Ive tried that too. I can only set as Wallpaper, not Lock screen Wallpaper. I cant ask the foxhound developers as i cant post there yet since i just signed up.
Hmm noticed the same thing here. Previous on TW, able to set lock screen wallpaper from gallery or from settings. Now on Google Edition, doesn't seem to have this option

Note that doing the next few steps will reset your default app preferences, disabled apps etc.
In Settings, Application Manager, hit menu then Reset App Preferences.. read the warning!
This would help IF whatever's causing your problem is actually a 3rd party app that "clashes" (in a way) with the stock Gallery app
edit: also.. if that doesn't help, maybe try changing wallpapers from within touchwiz launcher, THEN relaunch nova
Tried to do what you said adrian, but still no go. When i click on display, wallpaper, lock screen, still only shows me one option there 'wallpapers' . No gallery or option for any 3rd party picture viewer. Could someone maybe help me post on the foxhound 0.8 for i9505 thread?
Thanks alot.

Correct. Been using that app for two years now. It's way smoother and quicker than the stock Gallery app and has some very useful features as well (excluding unwanted folders etc.) :good:

doesn't that option use the samsung gallery?
I'm trying to set my lock screen wallpaper and when I try images from the gallery it won't set. It says saving but doesn't actually do anything. Seems like it only wants to use the stock wallpapers and even that sometimes didn't want to work. Anyone have this issue?
I can confirm this bug, it's driving me crazy.. Yesterday it workt just fine, last night turned my g2 off and in the charger.
And this morning i powerd it on again wanted to change my lockscreen wallpaper but it doesn't stick cant get it to work in anyway tried everything....

instead of trying to set the wallpaper through lockscreen setting go directly to the image you want and set it through there. probably will not work but it did once for me.

Wish I knew about this last night. Couldn't figure out how to fix it and ended up doing a factory reset. ?
Go to app. List in settings - All apps - search for Lockscreen - wipe cache, data and stop the app service...
Change the lockscreen wallpaper once again...
Worked for me..!!! ;-D
