Wallpaper/ lockscreen problems - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Okay so i flashed dewizzed the day i got my phone and i set my wallpaper and lock screen to a picture. I flashed a few other roms and restored back to dewizzed, but now when i try to change the wallpaper, it does not give me the popup to change the lockscreen and it doesnt change the wallpaper. Im pretty sure that it happens after i do a restore through titanium backup. Any ideas?????

are you restoring the correct launcher?

I just restored my apps and system data. I looked it over, and there4 is now sys. data that involves the wallpaper.

just go settings- display - lock screen wallpaper

How do I: Back up the homescreen/with icon location

I want to back that up for when I do full wipes, to keep icon location/folder location...
Would be nice if I could keep my notification set to what I had them set to.. but that is not really an issue and is faster to do... setting up my folder takes awhile :/
What launcher do you use? Most of them have a backup/restore option. I know Nova does for sure. Just make sure all apps and stuff are installed before restoring. Check in your launcher settings.

Apex will also backup the "desktop", though it may be only in Apex Pro, which is what I use.
Like already said, most aftermarket launchers have backup capabilities...usually found in the settings menu of the launcher.
I use Titanium Backup, and when restoring apps, it will restore your icons and placement as well. Widgets will need to be replaced manually if you have any of them placed on your home screen.

I use TBackup to backup all apps/data. After wipe, restore Holo Launcher with data will put everything back as was.

Trebuchet is the default launcher for CM. Back up and restore it in TiBu.

Lock screen wallpaper

Hi,
I can't seem to change my lock screen wallpaper, trying the obvious methods. Is there a trick to it? It seems to only change to images in the wallpaper gallery, not custom ones.
Thanks

Setting / display/ wallpaper/ lock screen.
Gallery / menu button / set as / lock screen
Yeah, neither of those works for me. Thanks though.

I had the same problem. Turned out it was Quickpic (gallery app) that was causing the issue. Uninstalled this and can now set lockscreen wallpapers fine.
Hope this helps.

Having this problem, this seemed like a sensible thing to try, but alas, still can't change my lockscreen wallpaper.
Any other ideas?

Already figured this out.
Had to do with which app was being used to set the wallpaper
I have Jedi ROM installed and I selected to have the 4.3 Camera/Gallery additionally installed in the Aroma installer.
If I use the 4.3 Gallery app to set the Lock Screen Wallpaper it will fail. I need to use the default Samsung Gallery app to set the Lock Screen Wallpaper for it to work properly.
Interestingly, you can use either app to set home screen wallpaper.
Jz.

Makes sense

try deleting the cache and data for the touchwiz in settings/application manager/ all apps
you will need to redo your widgets and icons on homescreens

Yeah I had the same issue guys, especially when flipping between apps or functions.
If you aren't committed to TouchWiz I'd recommend looking at another launcher, such as Nova. It's working like a charm on my Note II pre and post root.
Have you set the animations in developer options to off? If so, then that's probably the culprit. Set it back to 0.5x or 1x and reboot. My touchwiz used to crash too when I turned off the animations.

That's as bogus as not being able to delete a page while it's disabled as well. Why should we look into a new launcher when the one developed for the phone doesn't even function properly? I almost feel like a complete restore may do the trick.

I had the same problem, I don't know why Touchwiz crashes whiout animations, I had to set animations to 0.5x, it barely lags but havenĀ“t crashes since then.
As of now my Touchwiz is not crashing after doing following changes:
0. I AM ON STOCK ROM.
1. MAKE SURE HEPTIC FEEDBACK IN ON.
2. DO NOT INSTALL/USE ANY OTHER FONTS.
try and let me know !!
TouchWiz was crashing on mine too. I realised that actually I don't like it anyway so I've switched to Nova which is much smoother. It also imports your layout from TouchWiz.

[MOD] Lock Screen with live wallpapers.

Hi there is a way to have a lockscreen with live wallpapers. Its very easy just rename the LockScreen3.apk to LockScreen3.apk.bak, or just freeze it in titanium backup. I tough I share it if anyone interested. Again have a nandroid backup just in case.
When you first set it it is going to be see-through. The see-through part will go away after restart.

HI, have you run into any problems with this. I like to use live wall papers and having one on my lockscreen would be cool. Does it work with any live wall paper?:silly:

That's exactly what I don't want. I want to be able to set my lockscreen to a live wallpaper and my homescreen to a picture.

[Q] A few questions with the MOAR MK3 7.1.0 rom

Hello everyone,
I recently flashed this rom on my Sprint GS3 (after being out of the custom rom world for a bit) and I had a few (probably noob) questions. With regard to theme-ing, after I change the color of something, is there an easy way to change it back to default or do I just have to try and hand match it as close as possible?
Also, I installed (flashed) the 4.4 AOSP launcher from myhub, but there does not seem to be any kind of settings menu for it. It defaults to only 2 pages, which isn't nearly enough to hold my apps and widgets. Is there anyway to get more screens? If not, how do I uninstall it? (In application manager, it only gives the option to turn off, not uninstall).
Sorry if the answer to these are already in the forums somewhere, but I've looked and can't seem to find anything.
Thanks,
Haven't upgraded to the latest version, but I don't *think* there's a way to revert to a "default" color.
With the launcher, you should be able to get to the settings option by hitting the menu button while on ur home Page?

Thanks, I don't think there is a way to go back to default either...and if you go to the settings for the launcher it just takes you to the Google now settings. It's really strange.

You can only create a new screen by dragging an app icon or a widget from an existing screen to the right side of that screen, the G.E.L. will then make a new screen available to place that app or widget on. Personally, Nova Launcher is a much better alternative, or Apex for that matter.
