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

I, for the life of me, can't figure out how to set it up. I went to wallpapercasa's website and downloaded five wallpapers. I then moved them into my Wallpapers folder within DCIM. I don't know how to get it to work so I can have a different wallpaper for each screen. I'm using ADW Ex as my launcher.
I have individual settings for each screen. I go into screen 1 and under the picture settings I can only choose from a folder and not an individual picture. If I choose that option the screen fades but I don't get a popular to search within the gallery. I had the option before but i decided to reboot and it seems it went away.
Anybody use this great unknown app?
Click adw ex settings
Then general behavior
then animation and effects
Make sure wallpaper scrolling is checked

I'm running a (more or less) stock / unrooted AT&T Skyrocket. I upgraded from the Infuse 4G. It was easy to remove the lock screen wallpaper on it, as it was simply done by setting lock screen wallpaper to none. The option isn't on the Skyrocket. Is there a way to remove the lock screen wallpaper (So live wallpaper is shown) without running a second locker?
I tried Go Locker, and occasionally it would cause me to have to unlock 2 screens... I'd prefer not to fix one problem by creating another. Any help is greatly appreciated...and yes I searched but no one has asked this before.
Menu... Settings... Display.... Screen Display... Lockscreen Wallpaper. You can set to various Wallpaper Gallery images or image in your Gallery. I'm on 2.3.6 so not sure if this option exists on 2.3.5 guessing it does as well.
Do what the Guy says above. If you're like me and can't stand the stock lockscreen swipe, try widget locker... really nice customizable lockscreen app. You can completely customize the lockscreen. Slider style, wallpaper brighthtness and all.
And it disables the stock lockscreen.

I want the lock screen, I use the pattern lock.
I want to REMOVE the wallpaper. I want the lock screen translucent like it was on my infuse. The option to set a gallery image is there. But the "none" option is missing.

I suppose maybe I should pay someone to create an app that does this.
Search for transparent lock screen zip
I know it exists...it is on most of the T-Mobile roms

On a Razr Maxx HD rooted 4.1.1. Looking for a way to change wallpaper for lockscreen only. I want to use Gesture Lock as my lockscreen, but it doesn't have an option to change the wallpaper. Are there any other apps that will allow it, or is changing the lockscreen wallpaper something I could figure out how to make and flash myself?

I don't know if you have any interest in changing launchers, but MiHome Launcher lets you set separate home and lockscreen wallpapers. It's a very non-AOSP launcher though, so you have to want something different or else you might not be into it.
Thanks for the recommendation, I tried it. Unfortunately, it didn't allow for using a wallpaper on the lockscreen without using their locker, which means I can't use gesture lock. The launcher wasn't all that bad, though, I would have dealt with it.
Anyone know if there is a way to change the lockscreen by modifying the ROM with easy enough steps that I could follow as a noob? I don't mind tinkering, I just really want my lockscreen wallpaper!
Update: I was able to find a solution to the problem. I found an app called "Simple Image Wallpaper Pro". It allows for a different lock screen wallpaper. Problem solved!

Hi I just picked up a new CX-803 II and found that anytime I install a new launcher or video player act. I do not get the option to change the default app even if I try to force the change in apex launcher ect. The option won't pop up and it drops back to the home screen to further annoy the launcher resets the wallpaper to the one included in its themes anytime the stick is restarted. Can this be changed/fixed?.

For changing the launcher try "home switcher" app.

Unortunately I already have done, it seems that this stick has disabled the ability to switch "intent" apps, like video/music players, launchers ect. i'm not sure if there is a way to re-enable it. I picked this device because it has 2GB of onboard ram on it and and external antenna, but not being able to switch launchers or even have it use my own wallpapers is a real drag. almost wondering that if there's no way to fix it if swapping out the launchers apk with a different one would work or if it would just brick it.
it's funny that this thing comes rooted out of the box but doesn't allow changing of default apps.
Well with some experimenting I was able to change the launcher by placing a copy of trebuchet in system/apps rebooting using launcher changer to set trebuchet as default and then renaming the default launchers extension to .bak. This doesn't address the bigger problem of not being able to change the default intent apps though.
But it is nice to have my aquarium live wallpaper as the background on my TV now

I searched and didn't find anything about this. I am unable to change the lock screen wallpaper. I am on Nova Launcher Prime, using the Cobalt Icon Pack. I have tried going through settings, I have tried long pressing the screen and choosing wallpaper. I never get the option for "both" and when I go to the lock screen wallpaper through settings it doesn't give Cobalt as an option, only Wallpaper Gallery and Gallery. Neither of which have Cobalt in them.
Any ideas?
Any help would be appreciated...thanks!

Have you tried Settings>Display>Lockscreen>Wallpaper? This is what I have done, and it has always worked for me.

this works when I am not using Nova Launcher, but since I am using Nova Launcher it has been a no go. Kinda surprised by the lack of activity on here lately, this forum used to be my go to for all answers.
