Hi all. Loving the S4, although I have no idea how to change the lock screen wallpaper. I have changed my launcher to Nova and got a nice setup with that launcher and my 'desktop' wallpaper, but I cannot figure out how to change it on the lock screen. Help!

Nice, Nova launcher here too.
Just go to Settings>MyDevice>Display>Wallpaper>Lockscreen.
The wallpaper selection tool is a tad different than the one for Nova launcher though.
Hope this helps!

I know it is two months later but thanks for this. This was driving me crazy (and I really don't know why Nova makes it so difficult to make that change). Much appreciated!

Use home switch, launch touchwiz, with that you change the lockscreen wallpaper then switch back to nova
You could always just go to the picture you want in your gallery and hit menu > set as > lock screen. Done.

ADW EX has been updated with more Honeycomb tweeks.

The ADW icon has been changed to an app launcher! Hurray!
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher
so happy adw icon is gone
I have been playing around with it for an hour now trying to decide if I want my default home to be the new updated adw ex or stick with my setup on launcher pro.
I think I am going to keep it as the default launcher. Right now the biggest hurdle is figuring out how many columns and rows the desktop needs to be set at.
Might be switching back to adw ex
I think the new dock and less force closes will have me moving back to adw ex, not having that icon is nice too.
hey, i just got it, and i cant figure something out. I used wallpaper wizardii for wallpapers on stock launcher, but on adw now, those same pics don't seem to fill the screen. Anything else I need to do to get them to scale?
I don't know, but Gallery is working for me.
Wow, making a Tablet look pretty is waaaaay harder than a phone.
Difficult Decision
I have customization syndrome. Every time I pick up my tab I have to change the layout somehow. With the new update to adw ex I want to use it as my default launcher but it still has a ton of space that is left unused on the top, bottom and sides. But it runs so smooth.
So I am stuck, keep the space and launcher pro Widgets or have less screen to work with but have a completely smooth experience with adw ex? I also am totally in love with the adw ex app drawer with the 4d.
Finaaally
Trying it out right now
sorry
Have to disable the main dock and use secondary dock as main dock in order to have use of the full screen on the sides.
Now I just have to figure out how to get my launcher pro bookmarks widget over to adw ex and I am good to go.
new version is great.
Thanks for developing it to a useful launcher on tablets.
I couldn't think it was possible but it is again smoother than before ...... hurray
widgets like youtube and market dont work well on it
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but every time I hit the home button it reverts back to TW. I thought setting the home button binding option would fix this but it didn't. Any suggestions? Anyone else having this problem?
Go to Applications, Manage, All, find Launcher, then Reset Defaults, then press the Home Icon, you'll be able to pick your launcher of choice.
Thank you. Not sure how I missed that.
You can't it is built into the launcher code. I installed and purchased Wizard Widgets from the market.

Is there a trial version of ADW EX? I can't find one.

Dont think so.
BTW Is it me or is scrolling through screen unresponsive at times ?
Seems like you need a long gesture to get it to switch. A smaller "fling" results in a bounce only but stays on same screen.
Is there a setting for this ?
Looks great. Would like to have a trail.
I tried widgetlock but it doesn't support table landscape mode. sad.
What is ugly about it? You can change the wallpaper for the lock screen. Samsung is just using the stock honeycomb lockscreen.
You can place any picture you want on the lock screen. Just go into settings/screen/screen display and then change the lock screen wallpaper.
Don't like the time/date font. also I would prefer some extra information like alarm ....
I want to get something like below for my tablet.

+1 That looks awesome. I too was sad when WidgetLocker just didn't pull it off. I love it on my phone. I don't hate the lockscreen, but I'd love to customize it.
I found this ripple lock and it looks quite decent.

WidgetLocker definitely does support the Tab in landscape - I should know, I'm using it.
That's not to say it's without it's issues, there are the standard WidgetLocker niggles but it definitely works.
Why does it ALWAYS crop my wallpapers, even the factory ones too. I can't find a setting that will disable this and my wallpapers look like ****. Does same thing on aftermarket launchers too.
Some have had luck with certain wallpaper apps and launchers being used in conjunction. What works for me is using an app called "PicSpeed Wallpapers." Download it and then go into your gallery. Find a picture you want as your wallpaper-> menu> set as-> PicSpeed. Here you'll have an option to have it scrollable (doesn't work for me), vertical, or horizontal. Horizontal makes them look like "normal" again. Kind of an extra step but worth it. Hope this helps
My wallpapers look fine. You shouldn't have to use another app. There must be a setting somewhere. I don't think that is standard.
I seem to remember something coming up the first time I opened the wallpapers, but didn't read it and accidently clicked the "do not show me again" box. Any way to restore the wallpaper settings to stock?

OK, I think I figured this out. If you long press on the screen you can pick wallpapers and that is how I always have done it. Now the other way to set the wallpaper is to click the menu button (the physical button) then click wallpapers, then the type of wallpapers and when you select one it gives you the resize option. So play around with that and you should be good to go.

Do you have any other picture management apps installed?
Ive tried both ways and I always get the prompt to resize the wallpaper to the truncated version.
Ive also tried ADW launcher, quick pic, wallpaper wizardii. Nothing seems to work. No scroll. Very annoying.

My guess is that scrollable wallpapers lag this phone so bad that they just disabled it in the kernel. The GPU in this phone is way underpowered for the screen resolution.
adw launcher has always had this issue...had it with my streak as well. i talked to the adw dev about it and he was aware of the issue but couldn't fix it as he didn't have a test unit (and probably didnt want to be bothered with it). i assume other launchers would have similar issues (due to landscape transition sizing)
always used a live wallpaper or found a higher res patterned picture that could be cropped without too much pain.

I'm totally stock and rooted but I don't get the resize option on the screen long press way. Strange!!
No matter how I choose my wallpaper, it does this. If I choose a wallpaper I downloaded for 1280x800 sometimes the orange box is the size of the entire pic and it looks great. But it shouldn't do this with the stock wallpapers.
Something else, If I set the wallpaper during Go launcher and then switch to TW the wallpaper will resize itself and looks perfect.
I must be missing because I can't find where the option is to change them. Looked in personalize/lock screen

I think the stock sense lockscreen is trash. Check out widgetlocker on the google store. I had this installed on the old evo, and reinstalled on here. I have ~15 shortcuts on my lock screen. Most of the apps I use all the time.

I'm fine using the stock one just want to put the camera app on it, but can't find where I would change that.

This is a big maybe since I only played with it for about 2 minutes before getting widget locker installed. I believe the lock screen icons mimic the same icons present at the dock when not locked. So if you add a camera down there, it should show up in the lock screen too.

I think it automatically puts whatever apps are in the dock of the default sense launcher on the lockscreen. I am using GoLauncher, but I changed the apps in the default launcher and they now show up on the lock screen.

Thanks That was it. I don't like that, it should have an option to put what you want even if its different than the dock.

I was just having this same problem and found this thread in my search. All my shortcuts were right except for one and I could not for the life of me figure out why. No matter what I changed it would not change. Soon as I read this post I switched back to the default launcher, changed that dock shortcut, changed back to ADW launcher and Bam! Problem solved! Thanks!

So, by this reasoning...you could go to the stock launcher, put 4 things in the dock...change back to ADW and change the dock and keep the lockscreen icons?
EDIT: Yup...sweet.

Yes AS LONG AS you don't kill off Sense launcher because upon reboot since the stock launcher doesn't run, the lockscreen cannot read the icons. So you can but you'd be wasting resources by having two launchers run at the same time.
Hello,
I am using NOVA launcher on my Galaxy S-5. I have just two home screens set in the app. I see this vertical bar with 4 sections on far right when I am on the 2nd page of the home screen. I see the same bar on left hand side of the screen when I am on the 1st page of home screen.Any ideas how can I remove this?
Thanks in advance...
Not sure that's a Nova thing... Been using Nova for a couple years and have never seen it do that with any amount of screens. I've played with about every setting under the hood and can't think of one that would do that. It's not the wallpaper or a app sidebar launcher?
Thanks for your reply!
Actually, I figured it out. As soon as I changed the wallpaper to something else from the NOVA setttings, it disappeared! So I am guessing its some kind of themed wallpaper that comes with Nova launcher which tells you when you are at first or last page of the home screen.
