Works fine for me. Settings > Lock Screen > Wallpaper > Gallery
or gallery -> choose image -> menu -> set image as -> lock screen wallpaper
what things have u tried so we can skip past any steps u have already done
I know how to do it, it just won't change. I have tried both settings then lockscreen settings and the gallery select picture and set as routes. I have cleared app data as well. I uninstalled quick pic so the only thing to manage pictures is gallery. I even tried removing nova launcher.

The only thing it well let me do is use the stock wallpapers
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
so the option is there in the gallery app to use a pic as a lock screen but it just doesnt apply it? u do a battery pull since u removed quickpic? is it only ur lockscreen u cant change or is even ur home screen wallpaper too?
Yeah...option is there, just not applying. It lets me change home wallpaper, no problem. Didn't do a battery pull....Just a reboot. Is there a difference?
I'm also going to try wiping my cache in CWM now that I'm thinking about it.
*update* I have done all of the above...still no luck. It pops up with a message stating "wallpaper has changed" and everything. I'm honestly at a loss

maybe a conflict with quickpic or nova or some other mod/tweak...fastest solution i would say is make sure everything is backed up and wipe it and start over. maybe install apps one at a time checking that the lock screen works each time to try to pinpoint the app that caused the conflict
That was my next step...was hoping there was a simpler solution
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
Well the wipe worked. Not sure what was causing the conflict as all apps are now restored. Thanks for the suggestions!

Anyone find a solution for not being able to choose custom lockscreen wallpapers?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I can switch my lock screen wallpapers without issue. It's under display menu. Hope you figure it out.
I go through display, chance lockscreen. it shows gallery. but when I choose one it just blips back to the gallery and doesn't change it.

i was wondering if there was any way where you dont have to choose a separate lockscreen wallpaper than homescreen one.
im currently on stock and would like to stay on it.. not a huge fan of go locker... i just wondered if there was any other way to get the same wallpaper for both without having to set it twice... slight OCD issue lol ( i swear there was a way around it on the galaxy s 2)
Use Quickpic
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Just set the wallpaper twice.
If it still keeps you up at night, a shrink will be more useful than a dev to fix the problem.
Oh forgot about that on stock
I thought there was an option in the lockscreen wallpaper to set it as homescreen one?
Sent from the cracked screen of my GALAXY Ace.
go to settings, then display, then wallpaper. select lockscreen and choose none. then your lockscreen paper will be the same as your desktop paper. when you change your desktop paper, lockscreen will match. hope this helps
No option to set same as homescreen one, maybe its because im on the i version :-/ mehh shall probably end up rooting it soon, never takes me too long before i do.. Cm7 possibly

there is NO setting to set the same pic for lockscreen and homescreen. all you need to do is select none for your lockscreen in the settings location I told you to go to. simple as that....
No thats what im saying i dont have the option to do.. It literally says wallpaper gallery or gallery.. Trust me if it said none then i would have clicked it straight away.. I just didnt know if there was another way around it but it sounds like not

I just got this phone today and so far I love it. One thing that is bothering me is the google search widget that is on the home screen. Is there a way to remove this? I've tried everything I can think of. Thanks!

Menu app settings all apps scroll and find Google search then select it then choose disable

Poof its gone. Hope that works for you

You can disable it but you can't use the space it used to take up at the top of the home screen. I just got holo launcher (a home screen app) and now I have all that space usable too.

After disable Google Search, try to apply the theme again and the search bar should be disappeared.

Find red colored tw launcher
And restore only data, remember you can't restore widgets (its android limitations)
Rest of short cut and folder will be restored.

Thank you very much, that helped me out.
But how can i restore the shortcuts of the lock screens and all settings?
That you can restore with setting green colored. (one is for lock screen wall paper etc, another for setting menu)

Using titanium to backup home screen
. I just lost all my home screen settings . Essentially I had clubbed apps relevance together and create custom categories on my home screen.
And after rebooting and recreating mount script of link to sd I lost everything on the home screen. How do I use Titanium to backup my custom home screen clubbing off applications
All I see in that titanium app is option to backup individual apps what is the option that will backup home screen customisation in full detail

Has anyone had any instances where your phone is restarted and once it's finished you notice any missing icons? It does it to me all the time and idk what it could be. Any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
it would be helpful if you told us:
-which icons?
-from where? (homescreen? app drawer?)
-is it always the same icons?
i've never seen this on mine
its a touchwiz problem ..... gotta erase data on touchwiz and restart it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
I've had this happen on a couple of occasions. Various icons on home screens and app drawer disappear but their titles remain. If you select the missing icon area the app still opens. I have an application, System Panel Task Manager, I use for system monitoring, app backup, etc. I just hit "end all" in the task manager which restarts TouchWiz and the icons are back. I didn't have to erase data to get the icons back. (Wouldn't want to set up my home screens again) Not sure why they disappeared, but it hasn't happened again in a while.

I don't know if this is the same thing but I having a similar problem I am on T-Mobile and I am rooted and I thought root was causing this or the stock ROM I was on
but I would reboot the phone with an app like Quick Boot or C Boot (I think it was called) and all my apps would be out of their folders but the folders still remained
But if I rebooted by the device power menu the apps will stay in their folder
So like now if I wanna get to recovery from an app I would make sure to “save” my setup with the device menu first then reboot with an app...

Yea happened to me too. A few times an icon will not show up like in TouchWiz. Doesn't happen if I use another launcher. So like someone suggested restarting TouchWiz usually fixes it.

Yep. Happened to me once. Reboot didn't fix it. I ended up going into recovery and wiping the cache to fix it.
