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...

[APP]homescreen 3D cube(and more)with MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and Launcher Pro

FOR THE USERS WHO JUST WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO DEMO:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZHIH7F0Z4g
Have you had an LG phone like the BL-40 Chocolate or the KP-500 cookie before with that cool 3d cube thingy, and wish you had the same for your android phone? Well, here's something that closely resembles that.
The chocolate had 2 home screens, and the wallpaper can be set differently for the two screens. When i bought the galaxy s, my very first android phone, i hoped that it had a similar thing, only now with 7 home screens to fill widgets with. Sadly, it didn't come with that feature (although the live wallpapers was a cool alternative).
And then i came across MultiPicture Live Wallpaper (free on the market) that let me set a different picture for each homescreen. AND it came with some AWESOME screen transitions. Also, you are not limited to just one picture, you can set a whole album to be shuffled for each homescreen. Cool yeah?
So i was impressed with that. Then I saw that launcher pro was having an update. In the newest version, Fede included some cool transition effects so I immediately updated and tried it out.
I don't know if it was fate or what, but the transition effects of the live wallpaper and launcher pro really work great together. Now my phone looks cooler than before!
IMPORTANT THINGS TO TAKE NOTE BEFORE TRYING THIS OUT:
Scrolling speed is different for the live wallpaper and the launcher, so i recommend playing with the minimum scrolling speed setting of launcher pro (launcher pro settings > advanced settings > minimum scrolling speed). If you find the wallpaper lagging behind your widgets/shortcuts, try setting the scroll speed to faster speed until they are in sync when scrolling.
IF MULTIPICTURE LIVE WALLPAPER FROM THE MARKET DOESN'T WORK AS IT SHOULD, OR IF IT LAGS TRY THIS OLD VERSION THAT I HAVE.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16398746/Apps Backup/MultiPicture Live Wallpaper.0.4.8.apk
If this solves your problem good for you. If it doesn't, well it sucks to be you. LOL
people are reporting that in Darky's v9 this wallpaper doesn't work properly.. haven't tried it though since im in v8.1.. people on V9, please try the old version and report back if it works.. thanks..

If it's lagging, here are a few tips you could try.
1. Reduce pictures to your screen's size.. My screen is 800x480 so I resized my pictures to that size.. The file size of the picture may have an impact on the performance of the live wallpaper, so keeping it as small as possible may help speed things up..
2. Swipe your finger as slow and as short as possible.. I don't remember if I did this in the video, but whenever I swipe my finger, I do it slowly and my finger touches the screen for about half an inch.. This helps slow things down by registering a slow homescreen swipe..
3. Try less hardware intensive but visually unimpressive transitions.. My personal favorites are wipe, card and swap.. Wipe is the fastest for me..
4. Contact the developer and see if you could help out.. Im not the developer of the live wallpaper so I can't really do anything to improve it from a programmer's point of view..

BE SURE TO UNCHECK THE DISABLE WALLPAPER SCROLLING OPTION IN LAUNCHER PRO. go to launcher pro settings > appearance settings > disable wallpaper scrolling. Naturally if you leave that setting on, your wallpaper won't scroll.
YOU DON'T NEED TO USE BOTH THE LAUNCHER AND THE LIVE WALLPAPER. You can use a different Launcher on MPLW, and a different Wallpaper on Launcher Pro. But do take note that you can't have the launcher transition effects in a different launcher, and the Live Wallpaper transition effects in the live wallpaper..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here's how to create the same setup
1. Download launcher pro. It's free and i believe the transition effects come with the free version.
2. Customize to your hearts content. Place widgets, shortcuts, etc just fill the homescreen with content so that you can see the effect.
3. Select transition effect. Press the context menu button while on your homescreen > preferences > homescreen settings > transition effect.
4. Download Multipicture Live Wallpaper and set it as your wallpaper
5. Set a picture for each homescreen. You can even set a whole folder to shuffle pictures from.
6. Set the transition effect that you want to go with your launcher pro transition effect. Press the context menu while on your homescreen>wallpaper>configure.
7. Enjoy!
Tip - go to launcher pro settings > advanced settings > minimum scrolling speed, then set it to 0.. it will slower the swipe speed (provided that you swiped your finger slowly as well)
Transition effects that go nicely with each other as shown in the video:
LP - Cube
MPLW - Cube
LP - Scale
MPLW - Swap
LP - Flip
MPLW - Swing
Not shown in video:
LP - Cube
MPLW - Wipe
LP - Rotation
MPLW - Card

Very nice effects. Thanks!!!

Ok im using a galaxy S with darkyys rom 9.0 and Voodoo 5.2 kernel.
Im using the latest launcher pro plus 0.8.3.
I download the app and go into setings and set individual settings for each screen, but when i go back to the homescreen it says no picture available please set picture on a black screen.
I cant double tap any of the homescreens to set a picture either.
I have noticed from some looking around that you have to go into default settings and pick screen type... but i have no default settings on my app or i cant figure out how to get into it.
Please help me set this up properly!!!

I heard darky v9 was buggy, that's why I settled for v8.1 ay the moment.. Anyway, I'm just your average android user, not a dev or anything but I'll try to help you out as much as I can..
First, can you post screen shots of your multi picture live wallpaper settings screen? I'll try to find a back up of my old version of that wallpaper for you to try.. I think the transition effects were included in the old versions..
EDIT: The link to the old MPLW is in the first post.. try it!

I'm on darky 9,0 Voodoo same as you and all works perfect. Maybe You have some options on check LP>Appearance Settings> disable wallpaper scrolling I think that option must be unchecked
I have this on and MPLW dasn't work

*FYI* You can use this with other launchers or if you can't find the setting inside Launcher Pro to set the transition (I HAD THIS PROBLEM THE SECOND TIME AROUND) This guide will help you. If anybody is using a different launcher like me I use ADW EX you might not be able to see the transition setting inside the launcher settings. You can still set this transition. While setting multipicture live wallpaper you can go into the settings before you actually save the wallpaper, scroll down to Drawing Settings and select your desired transition under Transition Type.
Before exiting I go into each individual screen setting for example Screen 1 Settings and click on Type of Screen then select Single Picture, Select desired image from gallery and then continue to do the same for Screen 2 Settings untill I have done all of my home screen wallpapers *BE SURE TO HAVE SCROLLABLE WALLPAPER ACTIVE IN YOUR SETTINGS ELSE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO USE MULTIPICTURE WALLPAPER ****OP you might want to place all of this information in your 1st post***

Well technically it is a live wallpaper, and live wallpapers are not tied to a launcher (at lest MPLW isn't) so yeah, you can use it with other launchers. But the point of this post was to show that the new Launcher Pro version's new feature are these transition effects, and those new effects go pretty well with the transition effects in MPLW..

It makes it seem like you need to use LP due to the nature of your original post. I was just clarifying it for the interested parties.

I have Darky`s v9.0 and it works great. Thanks

I installed the older version and it works fine now.
It loses the settings though if the phone is switched off and back on.

Ive set 5 different wallpapers to 5 different homescreens, disabled scrolling, but my wall paper isnt switching when i cange home screens, with or with out transition effect aplied in either mplw, or launcher pro plus . any ideas???

nvm .......

[Q] best way to trigger widget negative colors

Hey Guys, I really like this negative colors widget on SGS III.
Great on apps with white background but I can't seem to figure out any combination to trigger it on easily
You gotta go back to main screen and then tap on the widget for it to work making it more trouble than being neat
there are some gestures app but they don't support gesture to trigger widget. Does anyone know any good app combination to make it easy to trigger
thanks in advance Guys

It has a feature that allow you to start/stop the negative color with 4 press on physical home button

ohh.... I hate physical home button and almost never used it
if only there's a similiar app that gives negative color but not as a widget

I think SwipeStarter allows widgets for gestures...

Tried it, love it. Does anyone know what it's APK name is in the root directory? I feel like I am blind. I found most widgets in system/app but cant seem to find the Negative Colors widget anywere. (I really want to just change the widgets look. Not have the text that says "Negative Colors" and only have that little symbol
--- edit:more info---
Leaving a screenshot of what I'd like to see on my phone. (In the screen cap its really just a file explorer shortcut to a white img and I changed the icon of the shortcut)

[Q] First LG Phone / A Few Questions

Forgive me Moderator, this is a few questions, but I am not familiar with what would be 'a question' if it is not, please feel free to change. Thx
This is my first LG phone. I am not sure if I have some questions because of that, or because of the specific phone, or due to the screen size.
1. What is the fitness app all the way to the left screen?
It is not in the widget list or app list. Is it just LG Fitness?
2. I want to use the native launcher for a change, it appears so much better than TWiz. But I do like my 4x1 widgets to span the whole screen. Can you widen the widgets to do that? Or would that require a 5x5 screen which LG's launcher can't do
3. If I were to use Nova, I suppose the answer to #1 above would answer this, but if that LG Fitness is the same app, I could place a widget for that on one screen, provided it has one. What is the best fitness app with a widget?
4. I have a big selection of wallpapers. In the past I would normally use PicSpeed or Backgrounds HD to set the wallpaper normally selecting wide. I am a little confused as one of the apps I am using, with one size wallpaper I have (either 1980x1020 or 2550x1420) when set on the homescreen flickers a little, then the screen itself, not the home buttons or notification bar, turns black. I set it again, with what app I can't figure out and whether I select full screen (wide) or just normal, something fixes it? Any idea?
5. Lastly, I had read that the screen on the LG is wonderful, may take a little of the battery, but also that it is a little dim. Well I agree.
But it was a LOT dim when my battery is at 14. As much as I thought I knew, maybe I don't let my phone get that weak, but even with the battery saver off, it appears that Android has a built in mechanism to lower the brightness at some point. Would that be correct? And I use Brightness Toggle Widget app. Weird but on all other phones, it was in sync with the phone - when I would change it on the widget, the phone would change. When I would change on the phone, the widget would change. Can someone shed light on that. Do some apps just not update or work on certain phones. Is there a better app to use a widget where you can set the brightness at selected interval %'s
Thanks to anyone who has any ideas or answers to any questions

Thank You first of all. Yes, sort of. Not that new, I don't give myself credit. LOL But thank you very much
1. I knew it can be gotten rid of etc, but I am unlike most, I like it. It can't be had in other launchers can it? The best I could find was using a shortcut to a Nova Activity which can find a lot of hidden things there. Works well, as an app though, not a widget
2. How can you widen them to full screen in the LG Launcher, if you would be willing to share. Thank You
3. Refers back to #1. Thank You
4. Thank You
4. It does help as far as getting the proper size wallpapers. I guess my problem is finding out which apps work, not to find them, but to set them on the phone, that you are not downloading from Zedge and are a different size, probably smaller. But I'm not able to pinpoint the problem any more than 'probably smaller' Some work fine, some don't

2. You can't resize widgets on the LG Launcher, you need Nova for that, I'm pretty sure.

you can expand widgets
It depends on the widget themselves. If the developer allow resizing it can be resized, but if not then it can't.
Example PayPal doesn't allow resizing while Eye in the Sky does.

[Q] Zooper with Tabs?

Hi, is possible to create a widget with zooper with multiple tabs in one page?
Example:

I did create something like that once using Tasker to control what was shown by the widget for the various tabs. To be honest it lagged quite badly due to everything having to wait for Zooper's update cycle. Tabs are better off being set up in the launcher itself, I would recommend Lightning launcher as being great for this sort of stuff

Wrong thread

Mokum020 said:
A way to do this is by creating a seperate widget for every tab you want and use Nova launcher with Desktop/Scroll Effect set to Wipe.
This works when swiping left or right, not by actually tapping a button.
Then when you swipe left or right only those parts of the widgets that are different will change on the screen.
This is how I did it with some widgets I made for my OnePlus One:

I assume your Bluetooth icon changes when on/off? How were you able to get that set up? Is it possible without Tasker?
