Lock screen wallpaper

When I try to set the Wallpaper in the Settings -> Display -> Screen display -> lock screen wallpaper it doesn't launch the "Wallpaper Gallery" , it just shows a list of file choosers eg Astro, Gallery...
Where are the stock Wallpapers and is the above correct?

Instead, go to your home screen, HIT the MENU Key and select Wallpaper. From there you will be able to see Wallpaper gallery.

this is just for the home screen wallpaper right, I would like to change the "Lock screen"

Yes, I think this is a bug. The lock screen wallpaper chooser doesn't invoke the wallpaper gallery activity.
Here is a workaround:
The stock wallpapers are stored in TwWallpaperChooser.apk. You can download it and extract the wallpapers onto the sdcard, then use gallery to configure the lock screen wallpaper:
Download TwWallpaperChooser.apk off of the device to your computer using command:
adb pull /system/app/TwWallpaperChooser.apk .
Or if you don't have Android SDK installed, install a file manager like Astro on the phone and copy /system/app/TwWallpaperChooser.apk to /sdcard, then download it to your PC via USB.
Open TwWallpaperChooser.apk as a zip archive
Extract res/drawable-hdpi/
Delete thumbnail images (files <90KB)
Create directory /sdcard/wallpaper on the phone
Copy the remaining full-size images files to /sdcard/wallpaper/ using USB mount (do not use adb push)
Go to Settings -> Display -> Screen display -> Lock screen -> Wallpaper -> Gallery, select the wallpaper you want, click Save. Done!

I liked the transparent lockscreen on the Galaxy 1.
Is there any way to make the lockscreen transparent on the Galaxy 2 (without an app?)
I know about widget lock but I like the Samsung style lockscreen.

How do I get back the original lock screen..I changed it to a new one, need to revert back..

I guess if its a bug , perhaps I'll report this to samsung.
I wonder how responsive they are?

Just found that when the we set the phone's wallpaper to the one as the original lock screen wallpaper, a option pops up asking if the lock screen wallpaper needs to be changed to the same. Once you click yes, bingo you get your original wallpaper..
I've now restored my original (factory set) lock screen wallpaper!

My lockscreen appears to have disappeared entirely. Not sure if I've accidentally disabled it in my travels, but has anyone else had the same problem?

Yes if you wanna choose a wallpaper for lock screen then the wallpaper gallery doesn't show up. It's definitely a bug. But there is a way. Try to set a wall for Homescreen but not lockscreen, Wallpaper gallery will show up, choose a picture, now set it on Portrait mode, not Landscape mode, Set, then you will be asked if you wanna choose it for Lockscreen also. But don't check the 'Don't ask again' box.
This bug should be fixed in next firmware update anyway.
Regards.

Hi guys. I got a quick question about this.
I like the way the stock lockscreen unlocks. ( By dragging anywhere)
However, I don't like the size of the clock and the date.
Is there a way to change the font size of the clock and the date and keeping the way it unlocks?
I tried using WidgetLocker, but it changes the way the screen unlocks.
If there is a solution to it, please let me know. I use ADW Ex.
Thank you.

I can change mine no problem independently of the homescreen. I'm on KF1
Settings>Display>Screen Display>Lock Screen

Thank you. But that gives the option only to change the clock location. Or the wallpaper.
If I want to change the font, it will change the whole phone fonts.
Isn't there another way? Maybe using ADW Ex?
Thank you for the tip anyway.

Hi,
I have absolutely no problem with setting the lockscreen wallpaper.
Going to display/screen display/lockscreen then wallpaper. It brings up gallery. After installing a file manager the popup menu shows different options to search the wallpaper, but gallery is also listed there.

You can also pick the picture you want indepently in the Gallery, then go More -> Set as -> Lock Screen Wallpaper.

where is the default lock screen image located? i.e in which file?

Which ROM version do you have? XWKE2 definitely does not bring up a gallery from settings/display/screen display/lockscreen/wallpaper.
Edit: Nevermind, I can see the gallery option now. The issue is gone...

ICS Issues....

Well since I don't have enough posts it won't let me post in the Dev section...ugh....anyway, I just wiped and flashed MazWoz-EVO ICS ROM BETA 4 and had to do it a few times because it kept screwing up after I would restore my apps and data via Titanium. I figured since this was ICS and my previous was Gingerbread there were some issues so I didn't restore data this last time and thought all was well.
I can't seem to get the browser to work and I tried Chrome Beta but I already read on the forum that is not working right with this ROM so I'll try something different. But I heard the ICS Browser is really good so I want to try it! Someone else posted the same issue but no response yet:
slikgman: My browser stopped working and i don't know when and why. I keep getting the message "unfortunately, browser stopped working" i am now using Dolphin HD browser. I've tried using the reboot and ROM manager permission fix to correct the problem.

Then I just went to unlock the phone a minute ago and my background showed up but no icons and none of the home buttons did anything. I could scroll between all the home screens but they were all blank except for my background! Hmmm...maybe I tried ICS too soon...though people on the Dev forum seem to be having a lot of luck with this ROM

Can't really help, but sounds like a bad install. I've been running this ROM for 2 weeks with no issues other than what is stated in OP.

Can I just re-flash the zip or will it force me to wipe again? I just got some of my main apps up and going so I hate to wipe for the third time in the last 12 hours...lol

Also, do you know how to change the lock screen options? I use Handcent for messaging and want to swap out the standard "slide up" to go to Handcent instead of Messaging. I can't figure out how to edit this for the life of me!

Until you've gotten a good install I would always wipe a couple times per the instructions in the OP.
Also, when changing the lock screen icons there is a trick to it. It's discussed many times over in the OP.
Basically (going from memory since I am not running the rom at the moment) you go to the lockscreen changer, if you want to add weather only you use the rosie utility. Otherwise you have to use the other utility option that is there. You can add/change whatever icons you want by tapping the icon and selecting the replacement. The icons on this screen may not update. Once you close the utility the icons and shortcuts should be as you desire. If you go back in it will reset and you will have to do the process over again.

Oops, i just realized my response was for "The Express..." rom shortcuts. Sorry about that!
So to change lockscreen shortcuts go to Apps -> Evervolv toolbox -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen style -> Custom Mapping -> App shortcut -> Applications....and so on.

I was gonna say! Thanks that's exactly what I needed!
Oh FYI...I sort of figured out the browser issue. All I had to do was go into my Manage Apps, go to Browser and did a Force Stop, Clear Data, and Clear Cache and then went to try it again and it has worked fine since! Weird....
Also, does anyone know where the Car Dock settings are for ICS? I'd like to change the setting to not go into Car Dock mode when docked, since it leaves the phone lit up the whole time. Some ROMs have that option and some don't, but I'd like to know if ICS has that built in and how I get to it.

Another weird thing about this ROM....
If I long press on the home screen to add an app icon, I get the usual list (Apps, Shortcuts, Widgets and Wallpapers) plus choice for Nova Actions. I can add shortcuts and widgets just fine but when I click Apps, it will show me my list of apps but when I select an app it just opens the app! It doesn't add the icon to my home screen! Annoying even though I can still add it there by long pressing the app itself.

[Q] Changing Lock Screen Wallpaper on T999

I recently rooted my phone and am using the Stockorama ROM. I'm also using Nova Launcher.
I've been wanting to change the wallpaper for my Lock screen, but when I get to the point of choosing which folder to get the picture from
all I get is the "Wallpaper" folder. Now I've looked around many threads/forums and I can't seem to find the answer.
Please help,
Thanks in advance

are you trying to set it from the home screen, or settings?
If you've replaced the launcher it won't give you access to TW gallery from home screen and maybe not settings.
Install quickpic and try it again.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium

Thanks for the reply, but Quickpic didn't help me.
Is un-rooting my phone the only way to change my lock screen through the Gallery (or anything other than the "Wallpaper" folder) ?
I've seen other rooted phone users online who have this option available to them. It's really frustrating because I feel like
I can't change the settings for something I paid for

I'm running nova launcher and I can change lockscreen wallpaper fine.. it doesn't give you a "set as" option in gallery?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Nova should have nothing to do with the LockScreen. Look under Settings>Security options for it, it is hidden. (I'm on CM10.1 or I'd post exactly where it is.)

Its Settings, Lockscreen actually. You can customize it there, but to set wallpaper go to Settings, Display, Wallpaper, Lockscreen.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium

Thanks Doc, I knew it was in a weird place, but couldn't remember exactly.

The phone won't let me change the lockscreen image AT ALL. When choosing a picture and selecting "Set As" I get the following options: Contact Photo, Nova Wallpaper, QuickPic wallpaper, Wallpaper.
When I go to Settings -> Display -> -> Wallpaper -> Lockscreen The only "Select wallpaper from" option I get is: Wallpaper (The wallpaper folder of course). Could I have done something wrong when I rooted the phone? I'm pretty new to this after all (A friend rooted my last phone for me).

Are you using the Touchwiz gallery when you do this, or a different gallery like quickpic?

+1 to the "wallpaper [app??]" ONLY choice, for the lock screen
Any luck with finding the solution? Rooted quite a few devices, so far, but the combo s3+rooted stock kills me - regardless how many picture manipulation apps I tried installing/uninstalling/making defaults (gallery, quickpic among others), when going into settings -> display -> wallpaper -> lockscreen, the only available "app" to use to choose the wallpaper is ... well ... wallpaper. Trying to set up the lockscreen from one of the picture manipulation apps, via "save as", does not work with lockscreen either.
I scanned the device for the string "wallpaper", and there are some folders obscurely placed in /data/data/com.samsung.....wallpaper/.... Maybe I should try to create my own and place them in one of those wallpaper folders??? But there ought to be an easier method, otherwise why would they offer the one mentioned in the paragraph above???

DashClock. How to make it my default lock screen?

I want to thank everyone on here for the replies over the last two days on my other questions.
One thing I want is to get DashClock as the default lock screen, but I can only get it to the "screen on the right of my normal launch screen" and am unable to delete the default lock screen and make DashClock take over the "one on the left" that is the default.
Has anyone gotten DashClock to work properly with the new HTC One, and if so, please tell me how.
Thank you all,

I haven't been able to figure out how to get a different widget on the "main" homescreen, either. I was able to swipe to the left (to go right) and place a widget on that homescreen, but no way to change the default that I can see.

Not sure I understand your issue. You can remove the default widget(s) on the device by simply pressing and holding, then dragging them off the screen. You can also modify the home screens in Settings --> Personalize --> Manage Home Screen Pages. You can switch which screen is "home" and even remove a whole screen.
As far as adding apps/widgets/homescreens, just press and hold a blank space on the screen and utilize the dropdown menu.
I have Dashclock running just fine on my M8, and use it for Daydream. Only issue I don't like is that to get it to Daydream horizontally, I have to start Daydream manually with the phone horizontal. Wish it would autosense that.

Like everyone else is stating, we can add DashClock to the right, move, edit and remove the DashClock lock widget screen, but it is always to the right of the "home lock screen" thus if I want to see it I need to swipe from the very top of the lock screen to see what is to the right of it.
The "home lock screen" is unable to be "removed' since the "remove" button is greyed out for that, I can only "edit". When I want to remove or edit the DashClock lock screen both the "edit" and "remove" are available, but not on the default lock screen widget.
No one else has bene able to get DashClock on the main lock screen because I can't drag DashClock to the left, and I can't drag the home screen lock widget to the right, even though I can see both when I have DashClock "held down" to move, it just won't go to the left of the defaul "home lock screen" to then make DashClock the default view.

To tell the truth, I haven't figured out how to add widgets to the lockscreen..... I use a PIN anyway so not sure it would make a difference.

Go to Settings > Security > Enable Lock Screen Widget.

Doesn't work you can't move or remove the main lock screen. I can edit and move and lock screens I add to the right, but not the default main one.

Id would be nice to at least be able to add another widget under the stock lockscreen clock widget.

Not for dash clock but for Nils you can use the floating widget and it works fine

So has anyone figured a way to remove the crappy default lock screen widget? I don't get why anyone would want to use this ****ty one when Dashclock is far superiour.
I still can't remove the main widget OR get the Dashclock to become the main widget "on the left".
Anyone?

You normally have to go to Settings>Security and allow widgets first, then you can add a new one and delete the original (at least that's how you do it on the Nexus 5)

Eddy, thank you for the reply but clearly you haven't read a single thing on this thread. Anyone can add as many widgets as they want, but they can't delete the default one on the home screen, so we are stuck with it because the "remove" is greyed out for the default. I can have DashClock widget to the right of my main one, but that does no one any good.
It is impossible to remove the default widget, or move it to a position where it is not the default. The only way to get DashClock widget properly installed on this ever increasingly ****ty phone is to pay $2.99 for a program to unlock it.

this is the product of the f***ing Standard clock on the 1st Lockscreen page. You cannot delete it, you cannot move it to 2nd Screen, so to have a e.g. nice Dashclock, you always have to Swipe right or left.
Dirty solution atm for me is NiLS with Floating Panel on stock lockscreen. I would use the AOSP lockscreen with Dashclock (running ViperOne), but it's lacking off DoubleTap2Wake function. And after 1 week, it's a thing Icannot live without anymore

AOSP Lock Screen

Unless you're absolutely apposed to to using a different launcher, you can use Smart Launcher and enable the lock screen. It will give you the AOSP style with many themes to choose from. The TW widgets work on it as well. I use Smart Launcher on every device I have.

Go to Gallery. Select a picture, open options (bottom left button) , scroll down select Set As. You can select to change your lock screen.
