Is this at all possible?
I really like the 4.1.2 lockscreen however i want to see the live wallpaper i'm using on my homescreen, without the use of 3rd party lockers. Can this be done?
It is possible to put a transparent wall paper, but I dont think you will see through it to the next layer like ur prolly thinking.

If you set both lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper at the same time (3rd option in the settings when you long press on the home screen) the option to use live wallpaper is offered. It will show on the lockscreen.

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,

OBVIOUSLY you didn't read the OP thread title, he wanted to have that effect on his homescreen using TW launcher, so I suggested the easiest way to achieve that. Now, if he had asked how to include the effect on his lockscreen, the answer would've been different. Thank you.

I know this is a really noob question, but what size should a wallpaper be for the GS3? And also, if I use a different launcher like Nova or whatever, and something like Widgetlocker lockscreen or will it resize images?

Bigger is better, settings/display/wallpaper/home screen or lock screen or home and lock screen will give the option of selecting the wallpaper from a source. If you choose gallery it will let you choose your wallpaper and then give you the option of cropping it/resizing it...

Yeah bigger is always better, that way it doesn't get all pixelated when you go to set it to that image. And also, here's crop image dialog you get when trying to change wallpapers with Nova:
Perfect. Thank you
I hate how it doesn't let me pick 2 different pictures for portrait and land scape

If you long press on the dock icons it allows you to change the icon(stock launcher) with a poor assortment of choices. My questions is how can we add more and better ones.

Try some of the free icon packs in the Play Store, the reason I say free is I'm not sure they will work with the stock launcher. I'm using an alternative launcher and have change all of my icons.

In using a alternative launcher are you able to use the Knock On to turn the device on?

I got some PNG files with a transparent background and replaced the phone icon. Works just fine. I've got my eye out for some nice ones for all other icons. I wish there was a faster way to change them but I'm happy with being able to do it in the first place.

I have Nova launcher and the Knock On works, the Knock Off only works if you tap the notification bar - I think it's the same for 3rd party launchers, but I dunno for sure...

Sorry for the late reply as I been on vacation. Yes I can use the knock feature with an alternative launcher.
Another happy new Mix owner here. Given that the main feature of this phone is the bezel-less screen, this makes the home screen layout and wallpaper choice particularly significant to the overall effect.
I usually go for something dark but in this case I have gone for bright and minimalist to bring out the edges of the screen.
What are others doing?
Love the Clock, Is it part of a theme or standalone?
It's a zooper widget from King Rollo collection.

I'm using the icon pack Clix, you should find it on the playstore
Here's mine - Using TSF launcher, shame it no longer seems to be supported, but it's an awesome super smooth launcher with Elun icon pack. The clock is a TSF animated widget.

Some of my screens, using c locker for my lock screen and it has my personal info so not sharing that.
Wall paper is a live wallpaper I set up for water ripple effect.
Home bottom got cut off a bit when I took screen shot, it's should be full screen. And should be no notification bar on top also.
...i need a better way to snap screenshot
Hi,
here is my homescreen ... I am awaiting xiaomi code for root my device and setup some details with xposed...
Futuristic
it took some time but it works, took the screen shot but the notification bar should be hidden
I'm new to android modding (its been 2 tough years with a company phone being an iphone 6 and 6s+) can I use an icon pack without using the entire launcher? I like miui - I just hate that they round the icons and I have no idea how to turn that off without an icon pack
