Lockscreen Wallpaper

hi guys,
so ive just came from a galaxy s4. oneplus 3 is a masive step up. This may sound stupid but how do i change the lock screen wallpaper, there where many ways to do it on the S4 but i just cant find a way to do it on the oneplus 3, thanks in advance

Long press empty space on display, pick wallpaper on lower left, it shows 2 wallpapers and you toggle between lock (L) and home (R)

I tried and could not for the life of me find where to set lockscreen wallpaper, I can only find the option to change desktop to whatever I wanted.
I CAN however, change the lockscreen background to one of my ugly photos that I took, but not the stock wallpapers if I use gallery to set it.
The main thing I really wanted to do is to change the lock screen wallpaper to a dynamic wallpaper called Starfield 2, it is a black background with start wizzing by type of wallpaper, and more likely than not it would be saving energy on an AMOLED display. Plus, they just looked so much better than a standard bright and colorful wallpaper that never changes.

I dont think u can do live wallpapers on the lockscreen

I uninstalled the stock gallery already so I can't check there, but if I go into my gallery (QuickPic) I can select a picture, then go to the top right three dots, "Use as" and then I have to option to set it as lockscreen picture.

not on oneplus 3, but you can do that easily on Sony Xperia Z2 and other products (I got Z2 and Z4 tablet here, both does that just fine).

Does anyone know, how to change wallpaper without stock launcher?
Or better, how to set system to use the same wallpaper for lockscreen as my launcher?

I know that this is an old thread, but I'd like to see on lockscreen the same wallpaper I set on the system.
Is there a way on OOS 3.2.6?

same way you set your home screen wallpaper

Anyone found a solution? I want to use the google wallpaper apps daily backgrounds but it can't apply lockscreen wallpapers, only homescreen. Can we just delete the lockscreen wallpaper with a root explorer?

Wallpaper for lock screen

hello everyone, how to change the wallpaper for the lock screen under Nougat?
I use Nova for launcher.

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?

Lock screen wallpaper can not be changed...

Hi,
when I try to change the lock screen wallpaper in settings/wallpaper it says "picture can not be loaded". It doesn't matter which source I use, system wallpaper or own pictures from my gallery. I use the standard theme, but Apex Launcher instead of MIUI.
Can anyone help?

change launcher for miui, set wallpaper, change back to your launcher.

Thanks, that worked.

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

DPI Change (Home Screens, App Drawer and App Icons)

I have a note 10+ (SM-N975U1) and I am looking for a way to get my Home Screens, App Drawer and App Icons to follow the DPI change I make under Developer Options. When I change the DPI to anything other than the standard 410, everything seems to change with the exception of the home screens, app drawer and app icons. I was able to do this a few releases ago but I cannot any longer.
Any ideas on how I can get this to change without installing a different launcher?
Thanks in advance!

I had this issue with the Note 9 already, and seems that the stock launcher doesn't follows the DPI setting.
We had this issue with the official keyboard too.
I'm still waiting for a solution too.
