Lock screen wallpaper - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

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.

Try clearing custum launcher defalts
Press home
Chose touchwiz once
Change walpaper
Select lockscreen and background or obe or the other
Press home chose custum launcher
Set as default

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.

Word
Makes sense

or you can try kill3d's themes for hybrid and repencis
You can use various lock screen apps to replace the stock lock screen:
1) Widget Locker- It has options to change the lock options and can include various apps in lock screen
2) Go locker- Has various cool themes in market
3) Mi Locker- Mostly same as GO locker but takes less RAM
4) Lock Bot Pro - Takes some RAM but best of them all..You can get different lock screen in each unlock you can customize the type of lockscreen i.e froyo,iphone,ICS, etc..
And many more in android market!

[Q] How to remove the transition effect from the homescreen

Hi, is there a way to remove the transition effect between the homescreen pages ? ( (the 3Dish transition)
To revert it to the one in the appdrawer which is just a flat transition between pages?
Phone is rooted.
Dont know what u mean nor what launcher u use but in settings under development there r 3 options u can configure to turn off animation.

Basically, the Note 2 on android 4.1.2 etc.. changed the transition between homescreen pages. A while ago it was a flat transition between those pages (like now in the app drawer section). But now it is a 3D effect which tilts the pages as you scroll between them.
It doesn't get removed from those options in the Developer Section that u mentioned (tried it).
Any other ideas?
Ok but still no info on the launcher and is that eom a stock rom or custom ?

Ah sorry.
Well, it is the rom that comes with the Note 2: Touchwiz upgraded to 4.1.2 And the launcher is the stock Touchwiz launcher.
It makes this 3D effect when transitioning between the different homescreen pages.
Whereas in the appdrawer, the transition is just a simple 2D horizontal page scroll.
I hate the 3D effect in the homescreen and want to replace it with the 2D one from the appdrawer.
The phone is rooted, and I'm thinking this has to do with:
system / framework / framework-res.apk / res / anim
But I don't know where or what to change.
Ok in that case u r stuck with that effect as it has no options. If u want it removed then use another launcher. Samgsung stock launcher comes without options so u r stuck with those effects unless u change the launcher or some dev has made a mod for that.

Yes exactly, that's what I want to know; If a dev has made a certain mod for it.
Or if anyone has identified which effect file is which; in that case I can just copy/rename it to replace it. (phone is rooted)
I think u r gonna have to ask a dev to make one if he/she wants to or have time to help u out as i think u r one of the few whom cares about that. I am on stock launcher to so i can use pagebuddy but i dont care about the animation at all i just need to take quick notes.

Try Paranoid Android, I'm not sure if they have a 4.3 Version yet, but they usually have options like that.
Xenonhd also have some great customization options, but they are still on 4.2
You could also go to settings>security>screen lock and set it to none. This will basically make your device open to the home screen when you press the power button, skipping the lock screen entirely

That's funny, a lot of ROMs have the option to set a custom lock screen wallpaper. I'm pretty sure cyanogenmod does...
That's my lockscreen you can see the difference between the original and set as wallpaper

Almost all custom ROMs have that option. And when you set a lockscreen wallpaper, it shouldnt have an overlay on top of that. Maybe its an issue with your ROM. I dont use that one.

I'm on Carbon ROM and I just tried a custom lockscreen wallpaper. The wallpaper was no darker than the original image. So, as I said, it may be your ROM.

[Q] What dpi are you using ?

I'm running 240 dpi (stock is 320) the note 2 has a great screen but isn't utilised my 320 dpi.
To run in 240dpi mode I did this.
You must be rooted.
Download texdroider dpi from play store.
You also need exposed
Download app settings module from exposed.
Open app settings
Change the following
Calculator
camera
contacts
photo editor
radio
voice recorder
Gallery
Click the one you want to change
At the top of the screen slide the toggle switch to the right to activate it.
Enter 320 for the dpi
Form the drop down box for screen dp pick 800x1280
Click on save on the top right.
Do this for all apps in the list and for any other apps that fc or don't fit the screen in 240 dpi mode.
Download apex launcher and import your current launcher settings (so you keep all your folders / icons) (touchwiz launcher doesn't work in 240dpi but apex looks and acts the same)
Open texdroider and enter 240 for new dpi.
Hit apply then reboot phone.
Your phone is in 240 dpi mode.
You can now change the amount of icons you want on your home screen as well as other settings for apex launcher.
7 icons down and 6 across works best for me.
(the settings i changed in apex settings are
homescreen
portrait grid 7x6
icon size 110%
Dock settings
icon size 130%
Advanced settings
keep in memory ticked)
You can also download play store fixes for exposed to submit a normal density to google play store
I also have apex notifier and missed it for notifications
I think that's everything
