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.
Hi, I'm trying to use a 960x540 image as wallpaper, but when I choose it, it's shown a square so a select a portion of image... I just want to use a simple image, with "static" behavior when sliding between home screens... How can I dot it?
I thinks it's the third time I try, but always forget and move to something else...
Seems really simple...
Well when you choose a new wallpaper it assumes you are going to have wallpaper scrolling on.

Try Wallpaper Wizardrii from the Market.
I've got an image that is exactly 960x540. I'd like to use it as wallpaper, but the selection box does not allow me to select the entire image. When I view the image on the phone, it fits perfectly, but the darn thing will not allow me to select the entire photo as wallpaper. Instead, it forces me to crop about 50% off the vertical axis. I must be an idiot. In case it matters, I'm running CM7 VALPHA3. I've tried it with both ADW and LauncherPro, but they both yield the same results. I tried it both with wallpaper scrolling enabled and without. Someone please tell me I'm missing something simple!
Thanks in advance.
There's an app called wallpaper wizardrii that let's you set the wallpaper however you want it. I use it and it works perfectly!

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

yeah there is an option to set it as the wallpaper exactly how you see it, so no cropping.

Thank you! Work great.
The resolution that the phone wants is 1080x960, this is because of wallpaper scrolling, doesn't matter if you use the scrolling or not. So if you resize it to 1080x960 it will use the whole picture without cropping.

Ahhhhhh, that explains it. Knowing that, I can uninstall the above app and just create wallpapers the right size from the beginning. Thanks!
i have the same wallpaper for my lockscreen and homescreen but the wallpaper is never aligned, when unlocking screen the picture appears to move up by 2mm, it doesn't match the same position of lockscreen wallpaper. I did have this problem with live wallpapers but that has now disappeared, i only get it with pictures and photos now, i set wallpaper by using 'Home and lock screens' option so not sure what is going wrong.
can someone help??

Do you use the stock launcher? If not, what do you use?

stock launcher, stock rom lg8 too.
I'm noticing the same thing with my stock SGS3 where the lockscreen pattern image is noticeably a darker, lesser quality image than the home screen one as well as being slightly skewed by a millimetre or two. I realise it's no big deal, it's just a bit annoying.
Any suggestions?

I encounter the same problem on my xperia. It's way off to the right on mine, by around 2 cm. I know it's just aesthetics, but it annoys me greatly. Would be great if someone knew how to fix this.
Edit*
Funny. It fixed itself after a few reboots
Hi all,
Is this new to Samsung? I had the Note 4 previously but it didn't have this issue where by when you set the wallpaper for both the lock screen and homescreen, the crop on the lock screen is exactly the dimension you have set but on the homescreen it is zoomed in.

This is because the S6 detects small up and down motions when using the phone and moves the home screen wallpaper up and down to make it look like your view is changing. Fun little gimmick. Not sure what its effect is on battery life, but I've found no way to turn it off. But it does mean it has to crop the home wallpaper.

I've tried to tilt the phone to different angles but I see no movement of the wallpaper though, to me the phone just plainly auto-cropped the wallpaper on the homescreen for me.
It's pretty annoying at the moment

I've seen on here that some people's accelerators have malfunctioned. Does your screen rotate properly when it's supposed to? If not, it may be an accelerator issue.

Hmm that's weird, I tested my phone apps and the accelerators are fine. Apps switched orientation as they are supposed to and snappy, but I still don't see any tilting of the wallpaper according to how I tilt the phone.
Not that I want this feature tho XD

Interesting. I wonder if it's carrier-specific. I have Verizon, not sure if other carriers disabled this feature.
Glad your accelerometers work though! :good:
is there a solution to add wallpapers to the S6 without having them zoomed in??? this is really annoying!
I asked this once too, nobody even glanced on my post or tried to help, so I found the solution by myself, just get the app dodol wallpaper maker and try setting a wallpaper using that app, it doesnt crop or zoom anything, the way u set it is they way it will be set on the homescreen, believe me, I notice every little thing on my wallpapers, so naturally, I immediately saw that crop issue, I think it was after the latest big update. Anyway, just try the app.

Hmm thanks for the tip. But I am not satisfied with this. The app just sets an image as live wallpaper. So there is no zoom, but having a service in background that uses 80 MB ram just for a wallpaper is not nice...
But it seems there is no other solution.
You dont need the app to keep the wallpaper, the app itself creates a wallpaper in your Gallery, I think it is in an album under the name Crop, then u just set that wallpaper the normal way, it will not have a zoom, I've tried and it works, you only need that app for the wallpaper crop, it's good that the app saves the wallpapers so that you don't have to use it, try it and tell me if it works.

I think we are talking about two different things. My wallpapers are already cropped to the resolution of the display. But when I set them as wallpaper, they are a little zoomed in. If I take the image from the "crop" dodol folder, and set as wallpaper, it will also have a little zoom...
When I set the same image to lock screen and home screen and unlock my phone, I always see the the home screen image is a little bigger - you dont have this problem???
btw, I am using nova launcher.

I believe it's the same problem, I would put a wallpaper using TouchWiz, and a high quality image (after being cropped and looking good on the preview window) would become pixelated thus I imagine it was being zoomed in, otherwise without zoom I wouldn't be seeing those dots in the middle of my wallpaper, after using dodol to crop the picture and set that one again using TouchWiz there was no deterioration in my wallpaper. I don't think that the picture was the problem, every other picture had the same thing, It's like I lost quality in my pictures, and I intentionally get high quality images to have everything look crisp. I looked over at the webpage you posted, they are talking about the Parallax effect, but for me it made no difference if it was on or off. Maybe not all phones have the same fix, or as you said we may not have the same problem after all, one thing is for sure, Samsung while fixing one thing sometimes breaks another.
