Tell me, how stupid would you feel about Samsung when you realize the effects only work when you use Samsung's lockscreen wallpapers?

Ok I am totally speechless now... Thanks for helping me realize Samsung is fooling all of us...

i have rooted my tab s 8.5 (t705) and updated to nf8 but all of the unlock effects are still there. where did you go to enable these lock effects?
it is located in settings/device/lock screen/unlock effect and there are 6 options namely none, blind, brilliant cut, popping colors, watecolour and ripple.

Change to one of your own wallpapers and see if they still work.

I just put a custom lockscreen wallpaper and the effects still work here.

unlock effect still works even if i changed lockscreen wallpaper. the only wierd thing in my tab s is that whenever i chage my homescreen wallpaper, to a live one, it will go back to default wallpaper every time i restarted my tab, this does not happen when a plain wallpaper is selected.

How do you change the Lockscreen Wallpaper?

Although it says in Settings > Personalize "Choose... lock screen wallpaper", there is no way to actually change the image. On earlier versions of HTC Sense for Android you could have a different picture on the lock screen and as a wallpaper, but not now. Another backward step or am I missing something?
I saw it also, the information is still in the user manual by the way, but not possible.
Is there a way to have the weather widget on lockscreen?
Thanks for your help
Nothing on my menus for lock screen...would be nice but tbh I'm not that fussed
I want to be able to change it too. I rather liked that feature on my Hero

I downloaded LockBotPro... its a good app an there's a decent amount of customization you can do to the lock screen... add your own wallpaper, lock slider & sound effect but shame its not compatibile with the AndWobble app, that would of made it a thousand times better
Is it possible to have live/animated lock screen themes with LockBotPro?

great app, but how can I upgrade to pro, when the market is not opened for paid apps?
EDIT: Sorry, I see now I can't...until it's rooted at least...

Not sure, but i would hardly imagine anyone having a go at it, people are trying to run away from live wallpapers to save up some battery life
This feature worked for me, and was present in the settings menu. ALthough I noticed at some point that my lockscreen image was not what I set it to, and the menu option was not there anymore......
I went back expecting the menu option to be there but it wasn't. Wonder whats going on. The feature was there and it worked for me...

Is there a way to change the lockscreen without root?

Maybe there is a setting that I am overlooking to change it
I hope there is, cause I hate it!

you can change the lockscreen wallpaper by going into settings / display / screen display. There is a section for the lock screen. Just click on wallpaper and you can change it. Took me a while to figure that one out.

Looking to replace the lockscreen myself, but in the meantime you can at least change the image on the stock lockscreen by going into the gallery, selecting an image, hit menu->Set As->Lock screen wallpaper
better than nothing!
got it thanks
I used to use WidgetLocker on my Desire when it was still running Sense. It worked generally well. Sometimes it would clash with the Sense lock screen and I had to go through the Sense lock screen after the WidgetLocker lock screen. Though most of the time it worked fine. Maybe it wont have any problem with the Touchwiz lockscreen.

Try Ripple Lock, it's a Honeycomb lock with a single pulltab in the middle. It will replace your lockscreen without root, there is even an option to fix double lock (Galaxy S issue), you will need to enable mode 2.
here's what is looks like.....
I'm using widgetlocker. Put it on my phone about 5 seconds after turning it on. Has been working perfect with no issues.

I have a passcode enabled and my lockscreen is only the screen where you are suppose to enter the passcode. How would I make the lockscreen be a normal lockscreen where I have to slide to unlock and then enter my passcode?
Ditto...WidgetLocker for me as well. Simple quick and easy.
I use lockbot.

[Q] No lock screen ink spill after reflash?

I apologize if a thread like this has already been started, but last night I managed to screw up my Note 2 by installing Chainfire 3D and softbircking it. No problem there, I managed to fix it by flashing the stock ROM and re-rooting from the files located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883823. Fast forward to today, I just noticed that when I tap the lock screen with my S Pen, There is no ink spill animation. I don't really have a problem with it not being there, but that feature was just so cool LOL. Any way to reenable it? I know it's not important, but that small, tiny feature was just so cool it irks me that it's not working.

Any chance you're running a live wallpaper? Ink spill is disabled with a live wallpaper. There is also a toggle in the lock screen section of settings.

Hmm, I'm not running a live wallpaper, and I don't see a toggle in the settings. I do see ripples though, just not with the ink. D:

Here's how to get the intriguing Montblanc digital content for free

I just came across this article on Phone Arena. I tried and it works as expected. :good:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Own-...ng-Montblanc-digital-content-for-free_id62802
worked for me, thanks!
Worked for me on AT&T. I can't seem to figure out how to set the Lockscreen Ink Wallpaper. I'm using Smart Launcher by the way.

It only works if you're not using a secured lock screen (ie swipe)
That's dumb.

You don't have to keep unsecured lock screen though. First change your lock type to swipe, then change unlock method to ink and then change your lock screen back to finger scan or anything else you like.
Thanks that worked out great.
Worked great for me. Thanks for the heads up.
Doesn't work for Edge
I was drifting around and came across this and thought I'd try ...
Yes, I know Edge and Note are different - So please don't flame...
Glad it works for y'all, but unfortunately this tweak doesn't work in this manner for those of us with the Edge looking around for tweaks.
Even though the activity exists and the Icon appears, when you get to the "Download Montblanc content" , the product doesn't exist"...
As an FYI, I'm on the ATT variant, so build.prop editing isn't an option (no root capability)...
The rest of you lucky enough to gain root on your Edge variant, perhaps you could start with a build.prop edit ..
Good luck and thanks for the tip OP

Galaxy Note 4- Live Wallpaper For Lock Screen Only?

Live wallpaper for lock screen only
The title says it.
How do I do this with out it also being on the home screen?
Not concerned about battery usage and not trying to buy a separate app to make it happen.
I'm trying to use a matrix live wallpaper from Zedge.
Also, how can I remove the status bar and phone logo from the lock screen as well.
I just want the matrix for my lock screen with nothing else except to use my fingerprint scanner.
Thank you.
Without root, you can't
i understand...thank you
