Hi,
I have a strange problem. When I try to change the wallpaper of the default lockscreen on SGSIII, nothing happens. I get to set the crop size in gallery and then it returns to the settings....without the logscreen wallpaper being changed.
Anyone else experiencing this and know how to fix it?
Are you using the stock gallery to crop the wallpaper or using another app? I also had that trouble but was using a 3rd party app to crop like quickpic and it wouldnt save. I then tried the stock gallery and it worked fine.

I have the choice between "gallery" and "wallpaper" and I have tried both of them without any luck.

What im really trying to say is that after you click gallery and find the picture you want to use as a wallpaper for the lock screen. did it ask you to complete the action using another program to crop it? like did you install another gallery app? if you did install another gallery app, did you set that as default action? because if you set another program as default, or using another program to "crop" it and not using the stock gallery app, it may not work. if you did set another program as default to crop it, you may need to go into that app and clear defaults in settings => application manager, then use the stock gallery app to crop the picture

You were absolutely right. Another gallery app had taken over the crop part so even though I used the samsung gallery app for selection of the wall paper, the cropping was still done by the other app.
Clearing defaults helped solving that.
Thanks a mill.

I had this same issue as well when I first got my phone, good tip Thanks!
I also noticed that if you uninstall the stock Gallery app, the wallpaper chooser force closes when you try to change the lockscreen wallpaper. Not your issue here, but maybe someone else will stumble across this who is having the same issue I just spent 30 minutes fighting with.

I like to use ADW launcher. Unfortunately I also liked to use the HTC Sense picture widget that displayed a picture and when clicked took you to the picture gallery.
I have not been able to find an app that satisfactorily emulates the HTC widget.
Could someone make one?
The only requirements are stated above. That it displays a single picture that when clicked takes me to the picture gallery. You can put in more options like a slideshow option or whatever else you can think of. As long as I still have it only display one picture.

I have tried this one. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it to really take me to the photo gallery it just opened the picture viewer where I could only see the one picture in the widget. If I could get it to actually open the gallery where I could view other pictures and open up the camera, then it would be worth it.
I would also recommend turtle photo frame from the market. It does a slides with the widget that pretty cool. It has white and black bordered widget too which means it goes with about everything. Check it out.

heres something i figured out, that will probably suit your needs. i used launcherpro plus which lets you resize widgets, but also allows overlapping them. placed a 4x4 turtle photoframe widget, then re sized it to 3x4 then placed the gallery and video icons and resized the widget back to 4x4. clicking the picture switches to the next or i can click the buttons on the bottom to go to their respective apps.

This is interesting. I might do that until a better widget comes along.
Hi:
Google changed the folder to accommodate multiple users. If you're using MultiPicture Live for wallpaper for your screens, the common settings for Picture Folder no longer point to the same location. You'll need to switch to Album, deselect any folders you weren't using and hit ok. Then you can switch back to Picture Folder, you'll find the path cleared and you can navigate back to the correct location.

Help!

Can anyone please help me with this issue? I set up a wicked Hubs UI and its just not the same without the multi wallpapers. If not does anyone know another app that works the same way that does not have issues with 4.2.1?

He is saying your old saved location is broken in the live wallpaper app and to fix it for each wallpaper you have select any album you have in you gallery and save it for each. Then go back and reselect your picture folder that you had previous to 4.2.1 and you'll be back to normal.
This is due to Google introducing virtual sdcards and the live wallpaper app not be updated to support this.

Thanks but I have a nexus 7 and it is not keeping the settings. That's why I asked specifically for step by step instructions. I use nova launcher paid version and I have seven screens. I have a folder with about ten pics for each screen. For example my leftmost first screen is Tools. The folder with the pics for it is called Tools WP. Also for the nexus seven should I be using a workaround for some home settings in the advanced settings and if so, which one?
I switched to ssLauncher, no need for MPL; set whatever pictures per screen and different ones for landscape if you want, and they all stick.
Hi:
@THEBIGWET: Sorry to be so tardy but I was out of town for the holidays. You'll find step-by-step instructions here:

There may be conflicts between Nova Launcher and MultiPicture Live I recall trying Nova and having problems with MultiPicture Live. I could be wrong.
Best,
Tom
I might have missed how to set this up.
I want a photo slideshow from my picture library folder, one that randomly picks the pics.
How can i set this up?
There are many apps for the same on playstore.
Ok, if there are none by default, any recommendations?

Moderator, is this a right place to post?, this should be in G3 Q & A, Help & ............., this is the right place for G3 themes and apps only.
Try the Muzei live wallpaper from the store... instead of random art you can have it use your own photos and can even choose to fade and/or blur them if you like. Nice app.
Thanks. Have tried Muzei and it is a nice app. Cant find out how to change the image quickly though, seems the shortest time is one hour.
I uninstalled the default gallery app and use Simple Gallery. Is there a way to tie the OOS camera to it? When I take a picture the small thumbnail shows up in the circle at lower right, but touching it does nothing, "no photo" pop-up. I have my gallery app set as default on settings.
Not sure if it will help but try installing another gallery app and see what pops up (if anything) when you touch the thumbnail from the camera app.
I have installed a QuickPic gallery (the best gallery app in my opinion) as well as the Open Camera app (used it before on my Samsung Note3 running Resurrection Remix so it kind of installed itself when I connected my google account).
Anyways, not I have a stock camera app opening stock gallery app (when touching the thumbnail) and I have Open Camera app opening the QuickPic, even though the stock gallery is set as default.
I'm thinking the issue may be you uninstalled the stock gallery before changing the defaults and now your camera is still looking for that stock app? It seems some apps can override the system defaults (as is in my case 2 different camera apps opening different gallery apps), and installing another gallery app may bring up the menu where you could choose your default gellery to open from camera app.
Bravo! I dirty flashed the ROM and it works again. Switched default to Simple Gallery, works. Froze OOS gallery, still works! Just need to change it before getting rid of it.
There is a default app in the settings somewhere.

Yeah, settings/apps/default. Just saying you need to set you default app, before uninstalling the system one or it won't switch.
I can't seem to be able to remove all the extra homescreens so I have to remove all the shortcuts on them one by one. I also can't seem to be able to make folders in the app drawer as any kind of movement on the icon immediately tries to place it as a shortcut on the home screen.
Failing that, what suggestions do you have for alternate launchers or has that feature not been properly implemented yet?
Also why aren't my Google photos restored from online backup showing up in the gallery app?

You can set alternate launchers as default without any issues (need to use navigation buttons instead of gestures by default but there's a workaround) on v3.16 / v4.13.
I use Poco Launcher and these features are supported in that.
The gallery app has a weird sorting order as well that you can modify in its settings, however, if you can see your restored photos in Google Photos, I would recommend changing the default gallery app as well. I use Gallery Go but I think Photos works as a default gallery as well.
