So when the s2 was made, I guess Samsung decided to have two separate wallpapers. One for the lockscreen and one for the homescreen.
I hate this new feature of the s2. I use a wallpaper changer to change my wallpaper every 15 minutes because I get bored of seeing the same thing over and over, but I spend a fair chunk of time just opening up the phone with the lockscreen so I want it to change randomly too.
What roms don't have this feature? I know cm7 doesn't, but the only builds I found hardly work. Blu Ray doesn't, but I'm not a fan of its looks.
Idk about the lockscreen, but you can have a live wallpaper that changes the image which ever way you want it with. It's called multipicture live wallpaper

Anyone notice that there is no lockscreen wallpaper? You only have a homescreen wallpaper.
I cannot find any place to set a separate lockscreen wallpaper.

the lockscreen wallpaper is the same as the homescreen wallpaper, I was unaware you could change it.
You could have different wallpapers on hero 1.5 and 2.1

yeah what is the deal with that????
It appears to just be a design decision...while it was nice to have it seperate before, I was not aware that you could have your live wallpapers on your lockscreen before either, but you can now. *shrugs*
Personally, I like it.

IMO, I don't. You use to be able to take a picture of something and save it as your lockscreen. It would all display. Now the lockscreen only shows part of the stretched wallpaper.
Sad they made this change. A step backwards if you ask me.
It's crazy!
It's the same on the HTC Desire of course. I agree with you, it's crazy, why would they leave out something like that?
Does anyone know a way modifying system files to bring this option back?
Thanks,

Hi All,
I've really enjoyed the stock Windmill live wallpaper that came stock with my Galaxy S2, more importantly the day/night and automatic weather updates.
I noticed that my GNexus did not come with any live weather wallpaper.
Is it possible or has any gotten this windmill live wallpaper from the GS2 onto their GNexus?
Is there any other alternatives other than Beautiful Widgets?
Thanks in advance.
Titanium backup. Or there are apks of it on the web. Personally I just switched to Go Weather with Go Live Wallpaper HD. Free and better.
I installed the apk for the wind mill wallpaper but it doesnt display correctly at all. Just a bunch of block figures without color. I really liked that windmill wallpaper because it didnt seem to take up a lot of memory and was great definition. The live portion of it was just outstanding. I havent found the same quality in other apps that do night/day and weather.
Yea, I had an APK of both the windmill and beach on my Nexus one which worked ok. They don't work on the Galaxy Nexus though.
Closest thing I have now it the live wallpaper from Beautiful widget. Plus the stock grass wallpaper isn't included
the BW live wallpaper is lame.
Wind Mills stock on the G2 was tits! Sure hiRes picture, animations where great. Loved it.
Would pay someone to get this to work on the GNexus.
Is it possible to update the wind mill live wallpaper from the SGS2 to work on the Galaxy Nexus?
Live wallpapers on Sense don't seem to work as well as they do on stock ICS or even the SGSIII. Whenever i swipe to change the homescreen the wallpaper pauses until the homescreen animation is done. This does not happen on SGSIII or a Galaxy Nexus. Also the included Phase Beam live wallpaper(ICS default wallpaper) does not seem to work, whats up with that?
its a fault with sense
some updates seem to have fixed it, depends on your carrier
or try a different launcher, they don't have the issue on HOX
Currently using free Galactic Core Live Wallpaper (search at google play) looks good on HOX.
Any scrolling wallpaper app with slideshow feature?
So it could display highest quality scrolling wallpapers without reducing, or cropping, but also could auto change the wallpapers every X minutes or hours?
Are you talking about something like the HOX? When you change from a main screen to another the wallpaper scroll a bit, is that what you're talking about?
I do not own HOX, but scrolling wallpaper - we already have that on SGS3, just we set 1 photo for it to show.
What i want is to auto change the wallpapers, so I select a folder with wallpapers and it does the job
wallpaper changer on playstore do the job

Hi thanks so much for the app, I love this wallpaper changer!
There is a Thanks button for that
Multipicture live wallpaper is the best I have seen, you can set it so a different wallpaper comes up on every home screen, and you can chose set pictures for 1 home screen and cycle through a folder for the others! They cross fade into each other which looks great as well

Scrolling wallpaper feature is useless if you want to have different wallpaper on each screen
Today I saw this "image" of the Galaxy S5 and the first thing that cought my attention was its lockscreen. It looks like the usual android stock lockscreen or widgetlocker, but it has many "orbits" around the center, where many apps can be put. I wonder if such a lockscreen (many discs able to have shortcuts around the center) already eixsts.

Can't see your image but try smart launcher from the market

It's the photo showing a lockscreen, the first one of the slideshow.
I already use nova launcher and widget locker and I am happy with both, but such an idea looks even more handy.
this lockscreen is supposed to be in the new samsung ui rumoured to be Gravity Ux
but with few apps i guess u can achieve such kind of lockscreen
