hello. if this has been asked before, please point me to the thread and lock this one. i am wondering if it is possible to make your lock screen wallpaper a live wall paper like you can your home screen? i know with the gs3 you could do it from settings, but in my lgog the lock screen settings doesnt have the option to select live wallpapers for it. it only lets me use gallery pics or wallpaper pics, not live wallpapers. so does anyone know of a trick to get it to enable live wallpapers on the lock screen? thank you for your time.
I just got done scouring the internet for an app or mod to do this but I came up empty. I think there was some weird limitation because there was plenty of interest for something like this and a few bootleg ideas.
The best of those is clear lockscreens which let you see a live wallpaper if one is set as your normal background, but that's the best you can do at least for now. Just search for clear or transparent lockscreens to try it.

Well you could delete(make sure to copy it somewhere first) lockscreen3.apk and you will have the ability but you lose the shortcuts and the lock screen just looks like this and the camera button doesn't even work

And I have tried the clear .png and it doesn't work. The lockscreen app has a white background behind it that I don't believe is an image, so I don't know how you would take it out.

Hi,
I have just flashed my SGS2 this evening and so far i am loving the look and performance, but i have one problem, when i go into settings / Display / Screen Display / Lock screen / Wallpaper / and then go into Wallpaper Gallery there are only the stock wallpapers there, from what i read on the Lite'ning forum they have added lockscreen wallpapers but i can not figure out how to apply them.
I notice that if you set home wallpaper it gives you the Lite'ning Wallpaper option which contains all the wallpapers but no such option in the lockscreen settings.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
can anyone help me??
ive been searching google for the past 2 hours and cant find the answer....
When setting wallpapers in stock roms you are being asked if you want to use that pic for lockscreen too, don't know if custom roms use that option.
I would recommend "live wallpaper changer" (or something like this) it's a really great app..
I like to have my wallpaper switched randomly every 5 minutes to another of my 500 pics collection.
also you can double tap the backround to change the actual wallpaper.
When i was on stock rom i had to change each wallpaper, it never asked if i wanted to use as lock wallpaper aswell....
It would be easy to change the lockscreen wallpaper if i knew where they were in my phone system, but i cant seem to find them....
Thanks for your replied

After some more searching i have come across the lite'ning lockscreen wallpaper, it is in the framework-res.apk but i found it on google images and just saved it to my gallery, i am asuming that his wallpaper should be auto applied when flashed to the device but didnt for me :/

Download the litening wallpapers.apk from the official thread..put it on your phones sdcard..download astro file manager and locate the .apk file. I think if you hold the file it will pop up with a menu and somewhere you can explore the .apk. Then just save the pictures you want from it and use them as your lockscreen
you know i must be bleeding blind, i didnt see the wallpaper apk download link.
I cant believe i have been searching all this time and it was infront of my face.
Thanks for all the help.
Glad to be of help

Saving Pictures to lock screen Wallpaper Gallery
Thanks guys - just what I was looking for. I have saved the lightening pics to my photo gallery so I have been able to locate them and load my new lock screen pic - awesome. However, where would I have to save the files so they are visible in my wallpaper gallery, that way I wont have to look at them each time I goto my photos...
Thanks in advance...
That i dont know, you will have to do a search on net or wait for one of the mega xda dev's to reply

Hi, I've tried to download the wallpapers from the thread page but the file is not there, I've tried from the market but installtion always fail, anybody can tell me why?
I've the litening 1.5 installed, nothing else.
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?
I don't know it, but it would be nice to have!
+1 would like to know too!

Bah I was trying to figure this out myself!
Someone please figure this out
Even with 3.0 on the tab you got the live wallpaper on the lockscreen. The 3.1 update brought with it the (for lack of a better term) "dead wallpaper lockscreen".
All I can figure is that this must be their way of goading us into making custom roms...

Yes, while using the Desktop Dock in clock mode you get the currently selected Live Wallpaper. Can't find a way to get this on the lockscreen though. Perhaps 3.2???
My Xoom on 3.1 had live wall lockscreen so it can't be a 3.1 issue. While it's nice to have the option of separate walls, it would also be nice to have the option to have the same live wall across the entire device....you listening sammy?

Any update on this?
WidgetLocker doesnt look right on the tablet...
When I flashed the pda md5 in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119492) it worked perfect. Then I flashed Bonsai and it went back to no live wallpaper...
Got to be an easier way?
Also running Bonsai. It's annoying as it seems like the 'dead' wallpaper which is setup in the default settings actually overwrites the live wallpaper being displayed under the lock screen. The live wallpaper is there, just covered up.
Example: using Multi Picture Live Wallpaper, set the lock screen wallpaper to some distinct image, and the desktop to another image. The lock screen wallpaper will default to whatever is selected in the tablet settings. When you unlock, you should see a flash of the selected lock screen 'live' wallpaper which is displayed 'under' the dead wallpaper...
I played with settings in Multi Picture, but it doesn't seem to be able to override this.
I looked around the forums but couldn't find any good answers/explanations about it, so I decided to ask myself.
The thing is I grew addicted to GoWeather's live wallpapers showcasing the current weather, the HD ones are a true sight for sore eyes, the thing is I dont want it on my home screen because I feel it lags me up a bit, and I also dont like how it transitions on to other screens, but mainly because I like static backgrounds for my home.
So I wanted to set the live wallpaper to appear ONLY in the lockscreen (im using widgetlocker) but I simply can't set it to go there; is there anyway to set a live wallpaper only for the lockscreen? I tried browsing my phone's memory (I own a SE Xperia Neo) to see if I could find the live wallpaper myself and set it manually, but I cant find them on there.
If someone can shed some light on this or where the wallpaper got installed to I'd appreciate it greatly ^^
cheers
Anyone? Anyone at all? *__*
i dont think u can use live wallpaper for only lock screen ..that is all i know
meh, thx anyway >.<
You can have it on the lockscreen but you will also have to have it on ypur home screen. i use go locker to do this but i dont know anyway in which you can have it only for your lock screen. Go locker is a new app so hopefully they will update it the way you want it
Similar to screensaver managers you'd find on other OS's? My preference is for it to randomise upon startup, anyone got any ideas? Is there a way to do it via Tasker?
Please bare in mind that I'm asking how to randomise live wallpapers, not standard, thanks!
There's an app called Multipicture live wallpaper. Allows you to choose a folder or album and lets you set things up. All you do is double tap screen if you want to change on the fly or let iit randomize on its own. This also puts a different picture on every screen. THE drawback is this app isn't ICS supported yet. It doesn't work on stock launcher. BuT if you get ADW launcher it works on that for some reason.
That's not for live wallpaper though is it?

Appreciate your guys time, but you're missing the point of the thread
I've used an app called Zedge on my Incredible2 and my Nook Color running Cyanogenmod 7 to download and set wallpapers and it has an option to randomize which wallpaper is displayed and change it automatically at an interval you set.
I haven't tried it on my TFP or ICS yet but I would recommend giving it a shot.
I have some 1280/800 wallpapers that I would like to use but when selecting them you can insert the whole pic. You have to crop etc and then you can't see the whole wallpaper.. is there anyway to get my full picture on screen

I use Multipicture Live Wallpaper, and choose the option to show the whole picture. You can have different pictures for each of your Home Screens, or just one across them all.

I had this problem too, but don't worry it will completely work. Thanks to lost sorrow who gave me lessons.
You don't open it from the app drawer. You open it by pressing to add the wallpaper and when it asks you to choose what app or wallpaper to open say live wallpaper and when you do it will ask if you want to open regular live wallpaper or the multilive app.
It will take some tinkering to learn to use he app but there's a TON of different settings and configurations to allow you to do everything under the sun. Personally, I set it to use one wallpaper image that doesn't change, so my wallpaper stays in place and the launcher home pages rotate on top of the one wallpaper. You can also have the wallpaper change at each homescreen or use one wallpaper that turns with home pages but stays the same image, etc.
PicSpeed and Tablet Wallpaper also do the trick. Same thing as above. Choose wallpaper in gallery and choose one of these programs to apply it as wallpaper. This has been answered several times in Themes section.
