As the title reads. Is there a way to have a lockscreen wallpaper different than the home wallpaper?
Use WidgetLocker
widgetlocker is too buggy and laggy for me...
I bought and used LockBot Pro for this very reason. love it. haven't installed on my Galaxy Nexus yet though.

the problem with WidgetLocker and Lockbot is that you will have a double lockscreen which sucks. You slide to unlock then you unlock again by using either the PIN or password or pattern for the actual phone lock screen which is annoying. I wish they could just enable it where just the app will handle lock and unlock instead of double.
Multipicture Live Wallpaper.
While it is mainly designed to set a different for each screen you can also set a different wallpaper for your lockscreen.
Good luck

Hey,
I hate the default lockscreen.
Does anyone know of a lockscreen theme that would work with Juggernaut ROM?
widget locker is a great app I've used it for quite some time now....
yes, me too
holy moly! awesome app!
Is it possible to get the Samsung SMS notification in the lockscreen to stay active with this app?
Also using WL and it's great. However, sometimes I see flashes of Samsung's default lock screen before WL loads - which annoys the hell out of me. Anyone know of a way to get rid of it? I can't stand their lock screen and quite honestly, Samsung should be embarrassed by it. It's total crap!
Thanks, in advance.
Try magic lock. U can switch between different lock screens like sense or iPhone or the galaxy puzzle lock screen,etc

GO Locker is a good alternative "very New" so not much themes out yet. But more perky than widget locker.
The go locker works great for me i really like the EDT tweaks that come on the sgs 4g custom roms i hope to see thoes soon on some roms

Hey guys is there a way I can have a different wallpaper for the lockscreen than that of the homescreen? I know there was an option for this on the GSII under settings/ display, but I can't seem to find a solution for the GNex. Thanks in advance

That feature is not available on stock Android.

Only thing I can think of is WidgetLocker
an app called multi-picture live wallpaper can do this for you:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
it allows you to have a different wallpaper for various home screens and also lets you choose one for the lockscreen. I personally use the same wallpaper for each homescreen, so this app is just giving me a custom lock wallpaper.
Might be preferable over widgetlocker if you don't want to add any widgets to your lockscreen and prefer a stock feel.
is there a way to change the lock screen wallpaper? i'd like the lock screen to look different than the home screen but i dont see an option in the settings. running AOKP milestone 2 with stock kernel.
thanks.
Not possible on stock.

Widgetlocker in the market will do it.
I'm wondering if anyone used the WidgetLocker lock screen replacement?

I loved it on my SGSIII, but now that the SGSIV has a version of it, I'm wondering what people think. The downfall of the stock lockscreen is that you can't add widgets right on the main lock screen. The one downfall of WidgetLocker is that the shortcuts you add open right away, as opposed to having to drag the shortcut on the stock lockscreen, I find that I accidentally unlock the phone while it's in my pocket.
Just wanted to get your take.
Thanks,
Ever since I upgraded to the S4, I haven't even bothered installing Widget Locker. The S4's lockscreen is awesome.

I agree, I wish I could drop a widget directly on the lock screen without having to do any swiping.
I stopped using widgetlocker on my s3 since waking up the device with the home button also unlocked it. Used to love it on my S2

Only thing the stock lockscreen is really missing is the ability to slide to unlock before going to the pattern. I don't like the fact that they removed the ability to have both, and i really miss not having music controls off my lockscreen as a result of the pattern lock being up as soon as i unlock.
I feel like a half tard asking this but how so you change the lock screen wallpaper only. On my note 2 you can leave the home screen and the lock screen different

Take a look at the app Widget locker. Made by the same company that makes Nova Launcher. You have a ton of settings. Widgets, apps, custom sliders, themes, wallpapers, and just about anything you could want to help you customize your lockscreen.

That is a touchwiz feature and not available in stock android. However there are custom roms that have the feature available.
