Weather Wallpaper

Hi! Just discovered the Weather Wallpaper. Its very cool and nice.
But it only comes after a restart of the phone or manila. I want it to last all the time, like if i slide to another tab and slide back its gone.
thanks.

I already disabled the weather animation because its sometimes too slow and this is annoying.

Hi, how do you enable and disable it?

Floating clouds

How can I get rid of the floating clouds in the home page?
I've just upgraded from an iphone and am not yet convinced

I use Co0kie's Home Tab along with CHTEditor which gives an option of adding a link to toggle the home screen weather animation on and off. There are plenty of links / references to it on xda.

Floating clouds is just one of the animations to tell you the weather, you can switch to an animated wallpaper with its own animation. Go to setting then click Personalize at the top and select to change the home tab wallpaper. You can choose weather animated or just animated. There should be an option in there to have no animation at all.

Move to a sunny country ....
pointless but i couldn t resist
sorry about my own stupidity i'm getting old ....

Screen Scrolling

Am I the only one who wants to turn off the screen scrolling and go back to the wallpaper that moves?
The scrolling wheel is annoying as hell and pretty dam pointless. HTC must have thought this one through really hard.....

You can select the "Streak" Live Wallpaper & you'll get the "Moving" Wallpaper effect in addition to the "Live" part.

Press personalize button (bottom right of home screen) then wallpaper then live wallpapers then streak. Or install a different launcher.

How can I change the lockscreen picture

Hi all,
Sorry for the silly question, but this is driving me mad. I tried everything I could think of, followed a few tips, but still have the same picture...
I want to have a picture of mine I downloaded to the phone, I selected it from settings but it doesn't work of course.
I am on MIUI 7 by Xiaomi.eu 5.12.4 beta
I tried it from the settings screen but only option seems to be to choose online, other options seem to be for main wallpaper and changing them has no effect... I use MultiPicture Live wallpaper as a wallpaper, and even tried an option there to change the lockscreen.
Any tips?
Thanks,
Julien

I think you use a custom launcher? If yes, you have to go to settings, apps, default and then chose stock miui launcher as default launcher. On the stock launcher homescreen you can then swipe with 2 fingers (1 from the left side of the screen and 1 from the right side of the screen, towards the middle of the screen). Then you can change the lockscreen wallpaper. After that you can change back to your other launcher. This is a known bug/feature

Thanks. Will try this now! You are right, i am using Google now as launcher

It worked a treat. Thanks again!

I hope they fix this sometime, because this is a pain in the ass

Live wallpaper on home and lock screen

I'm using Nova launcher and recently got the new Google Pixel live wallpapers.
After installing, I found out I was only able to set the home screen with a LWP...There was no lock screen option.
Can someone point me to any possible solution on how to set a LWP on lock screen?
Thanks
Btw, I'm on nougat

Then go into phone settings and hit wallapper, then try to see if there is a lockscreen option if so, hit the button and select the live wallpaper.

On nougat beta, there is no wallpaper option in settings.
I know on marshmallow there was one.

heya
is there anyone find an solution?
Saw on a galaxy A5, nougat, that we can set the livewallpaper on lock and home screens ...
But still cannot on S7
Both phones on nova launcher and both on nougat ..
Thanks by advance

Try not to set it from the Nova or your device Settings. Open the wallpaper you want to use, open it via Gallery app, and set it as wallpaper. It should give you these options:
1. Home screen
2. Lock screen
3. Home and lock screens
If not, use a third party app.

nope that don't give these options.. That only do with pictures, but not with animated wallpaper. That's the issue

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, and I can easily set a Live wallpaper on Lockscreen by going into Settings - Wallpapers and themes.
Then click VIEW ALL, then click in the three dot from the upper right conner, and you'll see the option: Live wallpapers. From ther you can add also to your Lockscreen a Live wallpaper.
I just tested this, just to see if it works, and it does work.
I don't usually use Live wallpapers though, I use simple ones.
I don't know what to say. Apparently stuff just works on some phones and on some, doesn't work. Weirdest thing.

I am loocking for this, with all launchers i can , since months.
I dont have this setting avaiable.
I tough it was with nougat.. but i just saw it was possible with my work's samsung a5...
Very weird indeed

Try to sideload the S8 Launcher. Or google Pixel Launcher. I know you said you tried different launchers, but maybe you missed one. Sideload the apk's on your phone.
Or, if you are rooted, try a custom ROM, or another custom ROM, if you already have one installed.

Ive tried them too.
Ive also tried sames launchers on my nougat galaxyA5 , then the setting is avaiable.
Im on stock rom on S7 , non root.
I guess i have to try another country stock rom...

Wait it is really somehow possible to have live wallpapers on the lock screen!?
I just looked for the option and can't find it anywhere...
