[Q] GO Launcher EX custom wall paper problem, change lock screen?

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

How can i change lockscreen shortcuts?

How can a change lockscreen shortcuts?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA Premium App

if you look the shortcuts on the lockscreen are the same as the ones on the stock dock. so if you change the dock shortcut this should also change the lockscreen shortcut..................sudeki300

Go to settings - personalize - lock screen - settings, you can change the apps there.

There is no option to change shortcuts :S And before I was able to make lock screen shortcuts in that menu now they must be same like in stock dock ... thats wired .. any ideas how can I set different shortcuts in lock screen without changing dock ?

I don't think you can, if you want to stick with the Sense launcher. It's an ICS thing, I'm afraid.

I believe we are talking about ice-cream sandwich here. There are only settings to change the lockscreen wallpapers.

I just dont get it why they remove that option from settings ? It doesnt make sense

Well yea but there was no dock in previous versions of Sense. So technically they didn't remove anything. It's just that you're stuck with having the same shortcuts on your dock, and you can only change it through your dock. I know, I found it weird at first too.

[Q] Lockscreen changer app

Hi,
I'm pretty new to android, but after some searching I can't find this application.
I am after an app which will change my lockscreen image after "x" minutes. I have the "Wallpaper Changer" app which works well for the wallpaper, but it doesn't affect the lockscreen.
What app's can anyone recommend? is "LockerPro Lockscreen" worth a try?
Thanks

You can use: "go locker ex" . Multiple background for everything you want. I can also recommend "Go launcher EX", which is an app where you can download multiple themes for your app, like IOs, glass, maya and uncoutable others (btw automaticly changing pictures or moving backgrounds will drown your battery VERY fast, just sayin

There are so many apps in play store but Go locker is best safe and trustworthy.

Go locker, smooth and customizable

Ok Thanks I'll try GoLocker.
You mentioned auto changing lock screen images drain battery. My plan is for just 2 or 3 changes per day. Would that affect the battery much?

Go Locker and Lock Screen Pro don't seem to have the option for time lock screen image changes. Am I missing something?

Ok so I've got Go locker and Lock screen pro but none seem to have the option for time lock screen image changes. Am I missing something?

[Q] Any way to remove the default lock screen widget?

I have gone into security settings and enabled lock screen widgets. This allows me to add DashClock widget to the lockscreen, however, I am unable to remove the default weather/clock widget from the lock screen. "Remove" is greyed out and the only option when you grab it is to "edit" it. DashClock works fine and I can remove it like normal.
This wouldn't be too big of a deal but it won't let me move the default to a different screen, its locked to page one so to get to DashClock I have to swipe.. Well, if I have to swipe its pretty pointless to have lockscreen widgets, I can just swipe to unlock the phone and have my widget on my homescreen.
I was able to take some screenshots to demonstrate what I'm talking about - I'm "new" so I can't post the link but try this: imgur.com/a/oCfVt

I was unable to find a way myself. I've been using this lock screen app instead https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slidelock
Really nice. Lots off features.

subbed for answer

Has anyone found a solution to this?

Only way to do is ..
The only way to hide/disable the stock HTC weather/clock widget is if you have rooted devices with installed Xposed Framework. There is a module called "Sense 6 Lockscreen Modes" where you have an option to remove/hide the widget, in that way being able to have any other widget on your main lockscreen !
I researched about this a lot, and the most covenantway to disable/hide the widget was to apply this module, plus you can have it back any time you want, just by disabling that module!

Go to the pic you want to set as the lock screen wallpaper and set it directly by the gallery options

Some devices don't allow changing the wallpaper on the lockscreen

Then it is surely a bug the rom itself has.
