I'm curious to find out how you all apply your wallpaper.
while the 1920x1408 wallpaper seems perfect, when applying it through gallery, a good portion of the wallpaper is cut off, and i find the quality isn't great/ideal.
I suppose i could just long-press in the browser on a wallpaper i want, and choose "set as wallpaper", but there are other options too.
So how do you all apply your wallpaper? What works best?
[Note: There was no need for the fourth option in the poll-- sorry. This was my first time seeing/creating a poll.]
Multipicture live wallpaper is another good one to get full picture, or 7.

I use QuickPic as an habit because the gallery in the Galaxy tab dosen't like anything that isn't the exact resolution of the display. Plus it's a great gallery app anyway.

It seems that it is not possible to have different wallpapers for home and lock screens using standard capabilities of HTC Sense. However, this topic may give you some ideas how to get what you want.
Go to personalize - display - lockscreen style. Choose wallpaper and hit settings. Then you can choose between "use home wallpaper" and "use custom wallpaper". Choose the custom wallpaper you want to and this will be shown as the lockscreen wallpaper. Can be another one than the one for the home screen

It is entirely possible to have two different wallpapers, however I don't think it is possible to have a Live Wallpaper at the lockscreen and a static wallpaper at the desktop. It is possible to have a Live Wallpaper at desktop and a static one at the lockscreen though.
The person above me had already posted the solution so I shall elaborate no further. Cheers
Hi! I have a Z3 with Muzei as a live wallpaper which updates images every day. I really like to have the current wallpapers in the lockscreen as well but I haven't found any option like that. Is there any way to deactivate the lockscreen so only the wallpaper could be seen or maybe replicate the same wallpaper configuration to the lockscreen?
Thank you!

You can try the Facebook Home app. There is an option to use the same wallpaper as the one used in the home-screen
same here
Hi, I was searching the whole Web for the same thing.
I think with Muzei we will not be able to sync our start screen with our lock screen with Muzei, since that is a Live Wallpaper and those are not supported on lock screen.
I want to get the current BIng picture of the day on my screens -- automaticaly. Well, I think I have to live without this....
Am I just blind or is there not an option to choose a live wallpaper for the background on the S8+?
I'm using Nova launcher and it's just a long press on the desktop, choose wallpaper icon and then the live wallpapers are last in the list over to the right. That said, some of the stock wallpapers seem to stop and start for no reason!
I can't find it either on the stock launcher. I can't get rid of the infinity live wallpaper on the always on display either.
It's in settings > wallpapers for sick, it's the first four wallpapers with a tiny play button in the upper right corner.
They call them infinity wallpapers, you do it through their theme app thing

Which clock did you pick? Depending on which clock you picked, you're gonna see the live wallpaper on the AOD. I know you won't see the wallpaper if you pick the calendar one. That's the one I'm using.
It's the default set one.

Those are different from live wallpapers. I have several live wallpapers installed and none show up. I think this is a bug. I read somewhere earlier that this is fixed in Android 7.1.2 which I don't have yet. I'm on Verizon and am running 7.0.
Yeah I can't figure it out either...
I use 3d Parallax Backgrounds, and these live wallpapers seem fine. Although I have to use the app to set them. As I also don't see the stock option for live wallpaper.
Samsung removed it with nougat. Here a link to a app to use live wallpapers https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/app-7-0-live-wallpaper-picker-home-lock-t3503347 Use the 1.21 final one

If you download a wallpaper called blow them all live wallpaper it comes with a separate app to apply this wallpaper but it also lists all other live wallpapers you have downloaded which don't show up on the phone itself so you can apply any live wallpaper you download through this app, there is a free and paid version of this app, the free one works fine for doing this, just open the app click set wallpaper and your list of all downloaded live wallpapers will pop up
anyone has the Whale Wallpaper of S8 ?
the one we see in Adds of S8
Solution!
As mentioned by someone else downloading "Blow them all Live Wallpaper" makes it possible to see all other live wallpapers you have downloaded. Go to the settings for the "Blow ...." and go to "set wallpaper". There they will be.
With all the live wallpapers I used you run the live wallpaper from it's app icon and it allows you to set it.
Easier solution
At the end of the route of "My Wallpapers" click the last thumbnail with the plus sign on it, then click the triple-dots and select Live Wallpapers. You should see you're installed live wallpapers.
Here's what I've been using to set them https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/app-7-0-live-wallpaper-picker-home-lock-t3503347
Edit: doesn't work for me now, used to use on my s7 nougat

Go to Settings -> Wallpapers & Themes -> My Wallpapers -> Three Dots in upper right corner of screen -> Live Wallpapers. It should be the only option in the pop-up menu that appears. It has been there since day one on my verizon s8+.
I'm using the Live Wallpaper Picker from here on my S8+ and Note 8.

This is the right answer, folks. Samsung has certainly not removed a built-in way to do this, but the location of the option is buried a little deeper than it should be.
If you download an app that can display and make shortcuts to "activities" (Tasker, QuickShortcutMaker, probably many more), you can create a shortcut to the built-in activity to avoid having to use Samsung's theming app to apply an installed live wallpaper.

Just downloaded google wallpapers and the live one are great - pixel 2 wallpapers work great
So I've not had a Samsung device since the S5, is it normal that I can't have a live wallpaper from an app (Let's say liveloop) on the lockscreen and a static wallpaper as the homescreen, as far as I've tried when I set a live wallpaper and then set a static one for the home screen the lock screen wallpaper changes to the default one
Any way to get past this?
Well, they are not called live wallpapers anymore. Just called video wallpapers. I use one of the ones that come with the phone and have a static picture on my home screen. Works just fine. I have tried other video wallpapers, but could not find one I liked any better then the one it came with. You can use the theming to get wallpapers, but it will usually change a lot of other things you may not want changed. I did use theming to be able to grab a wallpaper I wanted. Revert to default and then change to the wallpaper I wanted. Good luck.

My only problem is I don't want to use a video wallpaper, if I want to use a live wallpaper from an app like Walloop I can't have it just on my lockscreen, it has to be both
Not familiar with that app, but I am an old fart that really does not do too much messing with my setup any more. Sorry. Good luck.
Yes the phone supports Live wallpapers on the lockscreen. In wallpapers and style click on my wallpapers then on the 3 dots.
How to
Install the live wallpaper app, then go to my wallpapers the three dot menu and select live wallpapers and will open where you can select the wallpapers you have installed, you can apply as lock screen and homescreen or homescreen only.
