I installed the GO Launcher EX that came with the Google Apps RAR in the developer forum and noticed that I am unable to set my own custom wallpaper. I am only able to set a Live wallpaper or the default one that comes with GO Launcher EX. Anyone else have this problem?
When I attempt to do so, I go to the gallery, select my picture, crop and size it, then try to set it. It does the whole "Saving" thing but when returning back to the launcher, nothing has changed.
I've tried both from the Wallpaper option on "Menu" as well as under Theme Settings in GO Launcher EX.
Also, anyone know of a way to change the Amazon lock screen? The Amazon lock screen is still present after installing GO Launcher EX and will change the wallpaper to one of the random lock screen ones after turning off the screen and locking the device anyway...
Thanks in advance!!
EDIT: I should also note that I am rooted.
I have the same problem but am not rooted. I would love to disable Amazon's rotating wallpaper in favor of one of Go Laucher's.
I was planning on going into the system files and locate the folder its pulling the wallpapers from. Hopefully all we have to do is replace them with the wallpapers we like. Go launcher wallpaper doesn't shift left and right for me either when screen moving.

the problem seems to lie in the Fire's own stock lock screen. given the fact that it is rooted, see if you can disable the stock lock screen (using No Lock from the android market) and replacing it with something like Go Locker or WidgetLocker (though some say WidgetLocker doesn't work well)

The wallpaper for the launcher is located in the launchers apk. The wallpapers for the lockscreen are in framework-res.apk the standard place for an aftermarket launcher to pull wallpapers from is framework-res.apk (correct me if I'm wrong. The rom would pretty much have to be custom to fix this. Therefore it would be best for us to get a working recovery(twrp or clockwork using short presses to move through menus and long presses to select) then focus on ICS or HC(probably better off ICS) so we have a soft home, menu, back button.
Then changing wallpapers would be a breeze.

I got no lock to work. Same solution used to get Android Market to work. Get Titanium Backup installed (need the paid version) and you can use it to change the installed No Lock app to a system app. Reboot and it works fine. Will need to have your Kindle Fire Rooted.
Ok, Now I have No Log working, but how do I replace the Lock Screen?
GO Launcher EX wallpaper, make it stick
It's not a question of disabling the locker; regardless of whether the phone locks or not, the default Kindle slider screen appears on wake-up, and after sliding, the default Kindle wallpaper is there instead of GO Launcher's wallpaper.
I, too, am greatly annoyed by this.
If pyrostic is right, then regrettably there's no simple way to fix this. Which would suck. (Many of us are not developers.)
Widget locker works well for changing the lockscreen wallpaper at least..

It won't stay after you restart.
Benjyp's procedure worked for me. I posted more specifics about what you can do about them.

OK. I've got the wallpapers to not change back to the Amazon ones by changing permissions on the /data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper file, but I can't get scrollable wallpapers to work. I'm using the long rainbow one that came with Go Launcher but it's fixed and won't scroll. I've tried changing the settings in Go Launcher to the Default setting (to allow scrolling wallpapers) but that didn't help.
Anyone else having this problem?
Would you mind sharing how you changed permissions? I.e. what app used and changed from/to what?
My mom downloaded a live wallpaper and like the others, it keeps getting changed back.
so to stop it from changing wallpapers you have to root it?
yea gotta root to stop it from changing wallpapers. I feel like a solution will come out that doesnt require root...hopefully
Solution

Thanks, that solution works for me.
Updated Skyrocket to SKYICS 4.2E-8 (ULCE2), using Apex launcher, tried normal gallery, quickpic, zmods folder gallery2 apk, nothing has solved the problem so far.
When selecting an image to set as Home screen wallpaper I can no longer resize the selection to fit 960*800 pics to use for wallpaper scrolling. The wallpaper itself will scroll once selected but is zoomed in to portrait.
Resize worked fine on SKYICS base 2 update 7 but no longer.
Posting here because postcount Q.Q
EDIT: Also, using the included SecWallpaperChooser and Apex Launcher wallpaper chooser do not fix the issue.
Try what I did. This worked for me just follow the instructions. I know it works for UCLE2 not sure about sky ics. If it works on sky ics let me know...

Resolved a few days ago; installed QuickPic from market, on home screen hit soft menu, wallpaper, select QuickPic wallpaper gallery (which uses its own, white-framed resizing frame to select widescreen wallpapers, rather than the native gallery size selector - if you're having this problem, you understand what I'm talking about) and confirm size.
If anyone is having the same issue this worked for me and restored scrolling widescreen wallpaper functionality.
I use the Zedge app and select a wallpaper from it, works good
I am using CM9 alpha2 on my TP.
I am trying to have a different live wallpaper for the lockscreen and homescreen. I have tried (I may be wrong) widgetlocker lockscreen but the app replaces the stock ICS theme with its own- and in the process, I lost/could not use the stock live wallpaper that I wanted to use for my lockscreen.
Is there a way to do so or an app that can do this?
Thanks.
So yeah, I installed the Fallout v3 ICS rom and I can't change lockscren wallpaper, the option just isn't there in the settings. Anyone else able to set a custom wallpaper for their lockscreens? If so, what ROM are you using?
I changed my wallpaper to a custom image (a photo I had taken on my phone) and it replaced the lock screen as well.
System Settings > Personalize > Wallpaper > Gallery
Not sure if its supposed to do that but it did, only been running Fallout v3.0 for 1 day so still learning but so far its a great rom, very stable.
On fallout there is no possibility to have two different wallpapers on home screen and lock screen.
The lock screen icons and wallpaper will always depend on your home screen and the dock icons
Yeah, that's Sense 4.0A for you! No Lock screen wallpapers, No customizable shortcut icons...

Decided to go back to a sense 3.6 rom.
Went AOKP for a bit....the lack of sms preview on the lockscreen annoyed me. Spent an entire day flashing, and set up different roms! Ah well, I'll just stick with this until HTC do an official release
For anyone that cares, the new v4 of the fallout rom solved all these issues
Hey, I wanna set the lock screen wallpaper to be as the desktop wallpaper.
I tried to set it by choosing a wallpaper in the lock screen wallpapers section under "themes" but I didn't found where the stock wallpapers path is.
I'm on liquid smooth kitkat 3.2 milestone.
Thanks.
I don't think I got you right... If you wanna set a wallpaper you don't need to apply it via theme engine, you can choose any pic you have on your phone regardless of it's location. You just have to select it from "documents" or "gallery".

In Themes - Wallpapers I get only the wallpapers from the installed themes (I am on Android 5.1 tho). If you're looking for a wallpaper that comes with a theme, being it for desktop or screensaver, that pic is embedded in the theme apk. That's a zip file so you can open it with WinZip or similar program and look inside it for the pics you like. You can extract them from there, save them on your sdcard then set them as your desktop wallpaper if that's what you want
