Develop Bugs

Why is this so hard?

I have a rooted galaxy s4, and I use Nova launcher pro. I have a theme that I really like, and when I go set my wallpaper, I can choose wallpapers from my themes. The theme I use is by Kovdev, all his work is awesome.
However, that's only the homescreen, I cannot for the life of me find a way to set a wallpaper that comes with a theme as my lockscreen. I know there must be something easy that I'm just missing
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Go to settings, my device, display, then wallpaper and you should be good to go bro

because usually the wallpaper you see in theme screenshots dont come with the theme. they are the authors personal wallpapers. there are exceptions, but not many

No.. What I'm saying is the theme comes with those wallpapers, when I just change the homescreen by long pressing and hitting wallpaper, I can choose from the theme. But I have no option for the lockscreen when I do that

Change wall paper on lock screen is the default TW launcher option.
you can do it from the stock launcher (don't know if wallpaper from Nova launcher will show up or not). If that's the case just save the wall paper to your gallery and chose from there. After you're done you can set Nova as default launcher again.

Use a root explorer and find the theme .apk in /data/app. Copy and paste the .apk somewhere else on your phone, unzip the .apk, find the folder the houses the wallpaper and pull out the wallpaper you want

[Q] Stock app icons replaced with bugdroid.

Just updated to 4.4.2, wiped, and then installed google now launcher but I'm having a weird issue. A couple of LG apps like email and weather have had their icons replaced with a bugdroid icon. Mind you, this is only when I'm using Google now launcher. When I'm using the stock one, the icons are normal. Anyone know what's up with that?

Me too - I'm on the stock rooted UK 4.4 ROM. I installed Nova Launcher & the aforementioned icons are generic. The same happens with Apex Launcher. I tried deleting the icon cache in Nova Launcher under Lab Settings but nothing happened. If I try to edit the shortcuts on the desktop the relevant app icons are blank.
The icons look fine when using the stock launcher.

On holo launcher it lets me edit the icons of items in the dock and on the home page.
Rather than choosing a different image for an item, I can also choose "default icon".
This fixes the icons, but only on the home page and in the dock, not in the app drawer.

Not with Nova Launcher

Anyone have a theory as to why this is happening on third-party launchers?

I've emailed the Nova Launcher dev & will see if he replies

The dev wasn't able to help. Is there a way to extract the stock app icons from the ROM as image files and then we could edit the shortcuts?

In Holo launcher I can simply select the icons on the home page and change the images.
When changing I get the option of using a custom image, or use default.
When I select default, the icon works again.
However this fix only works on the home screen, not in the app drawer.

I know this thread is a little old but I just upgraded to KK and was wondering if anyone figured out how to fix this?

I just found a trick that worked for me, set nova's icon size to 85% in nova settings and the stock icons come back to life

Hey all,
Any way to set the Fire launcher wallpaper that anyone's discovered?

currently we just can set the lockscreen wallpaper only. Even using the 3rd party launcher, we cannot set the wallpapers...
I really don't get this from amazon, this is 2014 , and we still cannot just customize the wallpaper ? ha ha

Use Vire Launcher.

Vire launcher does not let you change wallpapers... You can change the theme and the background will change with it, but you can't change to custom backgrounds...
Unless someone else found a way to do so?

Buzz launcher offers full custom background support, and makes it feel more like an android device. Also, if you haven't already, get the playstore... None of this requires a root. Instructions are here:

Still better than the terrible stock Fire Launcher though... And all the launchers that DO support widgets are stuck with an UGLY plain black background! At the moment, buzz launcher is the best option, until someone either develops a new launcher, or updates an existing one to make the "background" to not be dependent on the system background, but rather be an image placed ON TOP of said background. This would in effect bypass the whole "No background" problem.

Once I installed the Google Launcher and playstore I didn't feel held back anymore from the phone and switched back to the Amazon Launcher. It's my preferred launcher now. I recommend everyone give it a true shot. I just wish they gave us an option out of the box as I feel more people would have tried it out then.

Default wallpaper is cool, i think its not necesary to change it

Lightning launcher extreme allows for custom wallpapers (with advanced settings option turned on) AND widgets. Works beautifully!

Launcher Lab
You can only use built in widgets but launcher lab works great and has many themes like themer, have been using it for a month with no forced closes.

Buzz has been the most stable for me themer crashed a lot I'm stock unlocked also glove box dock is really nice on here

You can change your background now if you have updated to version 4.6.1 You can choose from some wallpapers or your own photo. If not, then try Buzz Launcher, which is the only launcher that i've found so far that has a customizable background. Hope this helps!

I am using nova launcher prime 4.0.1 I think and I have wallpapers/widgets working.

Google Now launch lets you change wallpapers and most widgets seem to work fine.

Wallpaper for lock screen

hello everyone, how to change the wallpaper for the lock screen under Nougat?
I use Nova for launcher.
Envoyé de mon Nexus 5X en utilisant Tapatalk

Settings --> Display --> Wallpaper, and then pick Google Now Launcher even though you use Nova (I use Nova as well). When you select your pic, you will be prompted for lockscreen vs. homescreen vs. both. Pick lockscreen.
Nova will still be your launcher and everything will be the same, except you will now have separate wallpaper for your lockscreen.

Thank you

Do you know a way of clearing the lock sreen wallpaper. I have already set one with this method and now if I want the wallpaper to be the same on both home screen and lock screen, There doesn't seem to be any other choice but to do it this way again. I use Nova as well and now changing the wallpaper with Nova only changes the home screen. I would like to go back to being able to use nova to change both so I don't have to dive into the settings

My point was that if you set it with the Google now launcher once, you pretty much have to keep using the Google now launcher option. Unless you want your lock screen and home screen to be different

This is one of those magical opportunities where you can figure it out and share with the community. Or you can use the method I suggested which is only one additional step. Or you can use Action Launcher which natively allows you to select where to set the wallpaper.

Which is all good. I already knew how to set the lock screen wallpaper. Just wondering if there was a way to unset it so you didn't have to go through different launchers to do it. Guess it either hasn't been found or there's no current way. Maybe Nova just needs to be updated for that. Either way, If I find a way, I'll report back.

That's what I am thinking. The method I posted re: setting the lockscreen wallpaper really shouldn't be necessary -- you should be able to do it all from Nova.

It seems like you have a misconception as to "setting" a wallpaper. Once you set it, you can't "unset" it, you can only change it to something else. If you have set the lockscreen wallpaper to something, you would need to replace it with a different one in order for it to change, the device keeps no record of what wallpaper you had set before. It's just like Nova launcher, you can't just press "unset wallpaper" to go back to what you had before, you have to change it to a new one.
Stock android doesn't come with a lockscreen wallpaper option, so you have to "trick" it by changing the wallpaper on the stock launcher.

Correct. but I think that is probably the only way to convey what he is trying to say. On a completely fresh install of the OS and Nova, seeing the wallpaper (with Nova) changes both the lockscreen and homescreen wallpapers. If you use GNL to change them independently then from then on Nova only changes the homescreen wallpaper. So the question is out should be: How does one reset Nova's default handling of wallpapers?

How to delete extra lock screen?

I seem to have more than one lock screen. Is this possible? Originally I used Apex launcher and set different lockscreen wallpaper, to the wallpaper on the home screen, using this. Now I am using Nova Launcher and I have a another lockscreen, but I still have the original one and would like to delete this. Any suggestions please?

I think it should be as simple as uninstalling one if your launchers , if that doesn't work then make sure you only have one of the launchers mentioned in your post and clear the default settings for it via the app settings... Hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't clear the problem
