I am a pretty much a noob to Andorid modding. I have had 3 Andorid phones in the past few years and rooted them all, but always did each one by following really good tutorials. However, I really need to be able to change my lockscreen wallpaper and use something like gesture lock over the wallpaper. From what I've read, it's possible to flash a custom lockscreen, and there are methods to change the wallpaper by utilizing something like a weather widget and changing the graphic. Is this something that I can do on a rooted Razr Maxx HD running 4.1.1? I am willing to do it the hard way, but I would need a reference to follow to know what to do. I really need to change my lockscreen wallpaper, any help on how to do it would be appreciated. Basically, I want to regain what I used to have with the CM7 lock screen. It was a gesture based unlock with a custom wallpaper. I will use the app "Gesture Locker" from Google Play for the gestures, I just need to know how I can change the wallpaper on the lockscreen. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to do this.

Just an update to let anyone who's interested know, you can change the lockscreen wallpaper with an app called "Simple Image Wallpaper Pro". Only the pro version allows the lock screen wallpaper to be changed, but there is a free version too. So, problem solved!

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
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 All,
Im wondering if there are any workarounds to adding lock screen widgets to the stock android lollipop lock screen like we were able to in Kit Kat? I was hoping to use dashclock widget and notifications as i'm not happy with Android L layout....
Is there any apps that can do it if not able to in stock Android L?
Any help much appreciated. I'm looking for a minimal lock screen, ideally with the clock in the middle of the screen!
Widget locker paid.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
Or a display free.

Hope that is what you want.

Nice work finding those but go and look in the app store was the first thing I thought of. Cant people think? XDA is not a "Hey google" of rooting. You put effort in trying to solve your problem and them reach out. You don't grab the phone and get someone else to do it
Might of Known noobie trying to get his posts up. Go read the rules

Hey guys. I want to set a different lockscreen but I don't see any option for doing such. The lockscreen always remains the same as the homescreen. I would like to set adifferent picture as my lockscreen. Can you suggest any ways to this? I have root access on my Moto G3
Are you running a CM based rom? Also in the latest version of Google Now Launcher you can change it

i suppose what you are saying is about..
Keeping Two different wallpapers for LOCKSCREEN and HOMESCREEN ( like lumia, Mi devices) isnt it??
IF yes, do one thing.. install a LOCKSCREEN from playstore.. give it notification access and device permissions so that it can work as your Default Lock screen, and Disable real lockscreen present on your phone..
if the lockscreen allows you to keep wallpaper, then keep it ..
I've dabbled with android programming before and am interested in getting back into it. I just got a new phone (LG G5) and noticed that it has an animated lock screen that changed effects as you swiped to unlock.
I was wondering how I could go about creating a wallpaper such as that. Not just a looping animated background, but something that would change based upon input such as a swipe. I can't find any reference material close to making something like that and was wondering if it was even at all possible. Maybe it's only a manufacturer thing? Or does someone have a reference or good starting point/idea to point me towards?
Thanks!

What you're talking about was an effect of the lockscreen, not the wallpaper, the lockscreen overlays the wallpaper. By this example you might can get what you're looking for by modding your launcher to give the effect over the wallpaper and your app drawer or any other screen that has your wallpaper background.
The problem with your animated wallpaper idea is that animated wallpapers have a preset continously changing image so your idea isn't the sane because you're talking about something that would need to react to random touch input instead of a preprogrammed series of animations. It's not about where you want it to do it, it's about when and how you want it to do it.
It may be simpler than I'm thinking though.

i know this is an old thread. I recently developed interest in lock screen programming. I know building it from scratch would be very difficult. Especially since lock screen is used for security inside many application nowadays. But I was wondering if I could only change the animation for when you unlock the screen.
