Hey All,
Due to some oddities, I've discovered that using any other launcher with the Adam will make it force static wallpapers to be 800x600, even when using Wallpaper Set and Save. This change seems to be permanent, as even after uninstalling launcher pro/zeam/etc, the only way to get it to properly display 1024x600 wallpapers again is to factory reset. (This doesn't appear to be exclusive to the Adam, as I've found threads about it on the Gtab and Galaxy Tab sections)
With this in mind, it appears that live wallpapers aren't affected by this, based off what I've read in these other threads.
However, I can't seem to figure out how to allow Live wallpaper on the Adam without using a highly modified rom. I'm using the basic Notion Ink Hacks x3 (Market/Root/Adhoc) modification for the adam, and really don't want to use Beast or EdenX as that'd require another wipe, and may break further updates from Notion Ink.
Is there anyway to install Live Wallpapers through adding the APK through root explorer, or any other method without changing the rom? Is anyone able to create an enabler/installer for this for us Market/Root/Adhoc folks?
Any/all info is appreciated.
I personlly use Beast rom in its last version + Launcher Pro.
Though I don't remember if it gave me access to the Live wallpaper function or not, I spent time looking around in Notion Addicts & Notion ink Hacks forums on how to fix that "ulgy wallpaper bug"
After installing "Flick ur Pics" app in the market, If you long touch the screen then go to Live wallpaper -> Flick ur Pics -> "Manage favorites", then you should be able to choose one or several picts and set them as wallpapers.
That's the only way I found to center the wallpaper and diplay it correclty in the right resolution (1024x600). This market app has some nice functions anyway

As much as I wish I could do this, this is a Live Wallpaper, which I sadly cannot use at this point, until I can get info on how to sideload the required live wallpaper APKs, or someone is awesome enough to create a file for it.
Been lurking for awhile so thanks for all of the great info to date.
I'm having problems with live wallpapers constantly crashing and having my background (home and lock) reset to the default feather image. I tried a search and could not find a related thread.
This is consistently happening with downloaded wallpapers Flurry Pro Live Wallpaper and Plasma Tree. Wallpaper crashes when in various applications and becomes apparent once returning to the home or lock screens. I suspected that my Handcent pop-up notifications were causing it and found a thread elsewhere that said to disable the "blur background" effect but this has not stopped the problem. Verrrry frustrating, any help?
Just me?
I haven't had any problems with stock as well as having a 3rd party one (galaxy amoled). Do you have the ripple effect enabled?

I've got the very same problem with my unrooted stock GN2.
It seems that LWP downloaded & installed directly from Play Store works,
while the ones I download to my '"SD card" from "other sources", & installed
from within my phone, doesn't. Sometimes they just won't start at all, sometimes
I can configure the LWP but it then revert back to the stock "feathers" background.
This is quite annoying, and I cannot seem to find any solution. So now we are two...
Regards

Ripple effect is disabled.
The live wallpapers crash whether I have it set as a wallpaper or lock screen / wallpaper.
It's bad enough that I have to reset the live wallpaper at least once a day and now no longer bother.
Anyone else using this with handcent popup notifications?

Ding ding ding that's it but mine happen despite where the wallpapers came from (all downloaded directly onto phone).
Wanted to bump it up and see if anyone has been able to solve this.
I think I played too much with apps that changed lock screen photo cause now Im stuck with one and cant change it. I purged the gallery data which effected in changing the wallpaper onto default one (the kid with the balloons on the meadow) but still not much I can do. My phone is rooted. I didnt use QuickPic or any other apps to view my pics, only the Stock one. Any ideas?

There is a bug on 4.2.2 that you cannot change the lockscreen wallpaper if you have the Ripple effect. Other than that I have no clue, maybe a senior person can guide you!

Im on 4.4.2
Go to gallery and choose any pic of choice and set it as home+lock wallpaper.
It will change the lock wallpaper too.

Good to know that You dont take people as idiots. No I didnt try that. c'mon :/
Ive got rooted phone. Just made hard reset, cleaned cache as well... problem still exists :/
I am able to change the wallpaper for animated one (as long as I pick home and lock screens together), but then when I change it to normal one it goes straight to the default.
Can anyone tell me where is the default one kept? Im gonna delete it (or move it) and see what happens.
Im on rooted stocked system android 4.4.2 and I have the same bug with being unable to change the lock screen while on unlocking the screen with ripple effect :/ bummer
Does anyone know how to apply live wallpaper on Note 7? I can't seem to figure out, live wallpapers are not showing under the Wallpaper and Themes option.

I couldn't find the option either. Knowing I don't like the stock launcher anyway, I went to my trusty old nova prime. I wanted the stock look with more function so I also added the "MeeUI HD Icon pack" free from the play store, to get the rounded system wide icons. Then with nova, just long press the back button and on the far right there is an option for live wallpapers. Sorry I couldn't answer your question but hope this workaround helps.
Just open the live wallpaper like an app, then click open and apply as usual.

I can get live wallpapers on the home screen but there is no option for running the same on the lockscreen. I am coming from the S7E and that phone had the option.
Yes you correct, .... I am having the same issue ... live wall paper cannot be applied to the Lock Screen ... seems to have no Options to do so.
Samsung !!! why !!!
Any one have a work around ?
Nada on this ??
One of my employees has a live wallpaper working on her lock screen of her AT&T Note 7. I'll have to ask her how she got it to work. She told me she got it through the theme store. I'll find out more tomorrow.

Thanks !! .. I look forward to hearing how she got it working.
It seems to me that Samsung is trying to make us buy stuff through the theme store in order to get the functionality..... that makes me SAD...
So there are live themes in the theme store. It defintiely seems like that is exactly what Samsung is pulling as mostly all of them are not free. I just found the one she is using and the locksreen is live.

If you type in (live) into the search field it will come up with a few live locksreen wallpapers. So it looks like it limited to using the theme store only. Kinda cool helix one with a video attached in the description.

Matrix theme that looks awesome too!

Well that's cool ..... But I guess I find it offensive and down right stupid that Samsung is making us pay for stuff that we android users always got for free .... we are now being limited to use only Samsung themes ... WTF ... are we now just sheep like Iphone users......*(
And what if I don't want to change all my Icons and the look of my stock messaging app Ect ...???
this is offensive and down right Rude of Samsung.
Am I the only one who thinks this ??

Your not alone... And to be honest things like this bother me way more than the locked bootloader.
At least that has a semi understandable reason.

Totally agree, like I said the S7 edge had the option. Maybe the sales of the Theme store didn't meet their expectations so they are trying to force it on us.
Despite the nonsense of only allowing paid live wallpapers, I would buy an app from the Galaxy store with only one purpose: to enable live wallpapers on the lock screen. This missing feature has me pretty annoyed.
Dears,
just a question... there is any way to access to the store or download that contents directly from PC?
Ok so i had this problem as well if you search for beautiful live weather in app it will pop up with a sun in picture once you install it brings up 3 choices select live weather and asks at bottom if you want to set as wallpaper
Samsmug needs to stop forcing us to only use their "paid" live wallpaper themes. This is completely unacceptable and must stop. I miss having my "Alive" video wallpaper on both the home and lock screens. This really kills the whole experience for me.
At least we still have access to our photo gallery through the samsung themes app. Maybe we can add an animated gif wallpaper to the gallery and add it to our lock screen this way? If samsung allows users to create their own themes, then there must be a way to create our own "Theme" with our own live wallpaper on both the home and lock screens?

I found you have to download "Space Galaxy Live Wallpaper", open it, Select the "Start Wallpaper" button and voila! There is your entire list of live wallpapers you love. I have already contacted Samsung and they are aware of their lack of thought, but the rest of you need to also so the hirry up and update!

Nope, ... this is not the solution for a live Lock Screen Wall Paper....
But Thanks for trying.
Despite there is no way to set the lock-screen with live wallpaper...
but You can use this third party app to bring all installed livewallpapers to select for your homescreen...
Live Wallpaper Picker
Some live wallpaper apps have no shortcuts, This is what I used to set them for my homescreen...
after updating to one ui 2.1, wallpaper scrolling in nova launcher or any other launcher has been stopped, i tried reinstalling but problem persists. is anyone having this issue ? any solution ?? help please.
i have the exact same issue. no more scrolling in any of the launchers i tried after one ui 2.1 update
tried evie and nova.
maybe something to do with the way wallpapers get cropped has changed?
I discovered the same thing...three days ago, after running all the updates on my brand new Note 10+. I'm glad to know it used to work, speaks to a non-zero chance Samsung might fix it? I'm largely resigned to not being able to mod phones anymore (got lucky with the Note 4), but this kind of stings.
I have this problem too and it's driving me nuts! I did notice that it still scrolls in the dock on any launcher, but rest of the background will not scroll. I've searched everywhere too and haven't found a solution for it yet.
I've disable HW overlay and for 2 days now it's good...I dont play games, but I did have lags on UI.
I tried to change my wallpaper after 2.1 update and it wouldnt change. I downloaded a new wallpaper and used root explorer to apply it. Woke up the next morning and the wallpaper had changed its orientation somewhere during the night. Got to be some bugs with this update.
I found a solution in Reddit for my Galaxy S10+. In Nova Launcher Settings, tap the search icon at top right. Search for "force", and tap the result that says "force wallpaper scrolling". It's a hidden option that's not normally visible because it's "rarely needed"according to the tool tip.
Enjoy!
