Lock screen wallpaper defects! What the hell is this? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

If I set the same wallpaper to home screen and lock screen, the lockscreen one looks so bad. It looks almost like the screen is defective. It has blotches of discolorations mostly on the left side of the screen.
I know screen is perfect cuz whem I open the same image from gallery its perfect. Even on the home screen it looks perfect.
It drives me crazy. Its more visible if you out pure black wallpaper. It looks like you dropped bleach on the left side of screen.
What the hell is this?

Try changing the lock screen style from ripple to something else, then change it back

Nexus 7 Wallpaper

While waiting on hold for Google support a few weeks back, I decided to slap together a wallpaper for my Nexus 7 (and its coming replacement)... and I rather liked what I came up with, so I figured I'd share it (them) here. The size is ever so slightly off, but it's close enough that the scaling isn't noticeable.
Lossless PNG versions can be nabbed below (sorry they're not hotlinks; I'm too new to the forum):

If you dig it, feel free to use and share. Hope y'all enjoy!
Love it, thank you

I like the pic but can't really figure out how to use it well.
If I go to gallery and choose set as wallpaper it gives me a crazy sliding box system that can never cover the whole pic. Is that what u guys are using?
Edit:it looks pretty small in gallery btw.maybe 1/4 screen
Great one.
Thanks.

You can resize the crazy sliding box. Just grab one of the blue dots on the side and drag outwards to make it bigger.

This is driving me slowly insane.
I cant do it. The box wont get big enough to cover the entire picture so I end up with a stretched image.
This has been the only thing so far on android that seems ridiculously complex. Why cant I just choose the picture I want?

It's really not that complex. The OP stated the size is slightly off, so it will looked a little stretched.

You can use mulitipicture live wallpaper or wallpaper wizardrii to set the wallpaper without cropping it. If you use mulitipicture live, you open the app by long pressing the screen, choosing live wallpaper, and then choosing multi picture live wallpaper.
You can then set a still wallpaper for each home screen or for all home screens, have it scrolling or not scrolling, have it stay put or rotate with the homescreen, etc...

I just resized to 1600x1280 and when you long press to apply WP from gallery (or Quickpic), the box covers the whole picture. Resized here.

So is 1600x1280 the correct size scrolling wallpapers need to be n order to fit 100% properly? I've been trying to figure this out for the longest lol.

Lock screen Wallpaper

Has anyone noticed that if you set the exact same wallpaper to your home and lockscreen, that the lockscreen's wallpaper is always made slightly brighter? I noticed this using specifically black wallpapers, and was wondering if anyone else caught it. Its slightly annoying since it doesn't blend with my status bar perfectly.
Are you using the ripple effect on the lock screen? If you are that is why the lock screen wallpaper looks brighter because the ripple effect is showing the image submerged in water.

will this work together with the ripples, or does installing this disable the ripples? I think my wife will like this but she won't want to lose the ripple effect, I know that for sure.
Looks nice. I can't wait wither

On jellybomb nothing happens but i think its because he has the aosp locksreen. I will try it on my wifes stock phone and report.
I did notice that if i choose blue in the settings it says "Green" outside. If i choose light blue then outside it says "SIM card"
Edit: pretty much all options show the wrong text on the settings. Waiting to test on my wife's.

Hmm I flashed this and I noticed that it adds like a reddish haze to my lock screen. Is it supposed to do that?
Also, is the whole screen supposed to flash the chosen color when unlocking?

Changing Galaxy Note II lock screen

Is it possible to change the lock screen of the Samsung Galaxy Note II, mine is currently the ripple screen with the feather on it, but I want to change it to something else e.g. say a dark screen with red LED writing or what ever.
Thanks

You mean wallpaper? You can do it in display settings.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
No I mean the lock wallpaper it's the screen where you swype to unlock and you get that ripple effect.

Put the pic in internal memory then it should pop up in gallery. Use gallery to use that pic.

You guys clearly do not understand what he is asking, so why give bull**** answers? You don't have any option to pick any pictures to use from any gallery for the lock screen. You can change the wall paper, any idiot knows that on any phone!

A bit rude don't you think? And a bit to many ANYs in your sentence. So many in fact that your sentence doesn't' have ANY sense.
Of course you can change wallpaper for launcher and wallpaper for lock screen separately, is that what he is asking?
Lol wtf guys chill out! The OP is asking for a lockscreen replacement.
If you want to use a different or themed lockscreen just head over google play and download Go Locker EX. Theres tons of themes to look for, and also it has pages like 4.2.2 lockscreen.

Yes that is what he asking. Not changing the ****ing wallpaper ;p I was being sarcastic in saying you can't change it ;p
You absolute ****! ;p Originally he was asking about lock screen specifically. Not the wallpaper. My comment was about how everyone is quick to give their hints and tips without even reading what someone is wanting. What the ****ing use is that? I think thats rude, not the amount and ANYs in my sentance.
Now I do hope this makes some type of sense to you. Stupid time wasting usless turd.
Lol... op.. There is three types of locksreen for us to use.
First is like u mentioned.
Second is pattern lock where u draw a pattern to unlock.
Three is good old pin number
Not sure if there is face unlock where it uses front camera to scan your face. If matches ur face will unlock the phone. This also work by holding your photo in front of the phone to unlock...

black pixel lits up

Hello, the question is when you use a black wallpaper on the s3 the pixel don't lit up right ? so I downloaded a black wallpaper and tested it out. I noticed all the pixels are on,but it is not pure black(like when you lock the phone). I have tried 3-4 types of black wallpaper but none on them seem to work
I have tried it on stock Note 2 but it is the same. I tired using paint but no luck.

True black does not light up the pixels. I used Paint on Windows 7 and created a black wallpaper. As for the lockscreen, if you have the ripple effect on, it will not be true black as it is part of the effects. Turn it off and you will see the difference.
