u can use Wallpaper Wizardii , available in the market .
Very nice free app u can set your wallpaper in many different ways and say good buy to the annoying honeycomb wallpaper crop .

Wallpaper alignment is an issue with the stock launcher, not wallpaper apps, which doesn't auto crop third party wallpapers. I am using LauncherPro and the problem is solved! Not to mention all the other cool features of LauncherPro. I only need two home screens. I can do that with this app. Also can select how many rows/columns of icons I want. Also can resize widgets.

Lockscreen Wallpaper

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!

Scrolling wallpaper

Anybody able to get their wallpaper to scroll as they change screens?
I have tried the HTC launcher as well as Nova with no luck. Also tried forcing it within Nova and tried using Wallpaper Wizardii as well.

In Nova Launcher, I found that it will only scroll if I used Muzei as a live wallpaper. I didn't want the Blurring/Dimming of Muzei so I just decreased both settings =\

Mine isn't scrolling as well. Thinking what to use too so it will work and scroll.

How do I change the lockscreen wallpaper?

This seems like it should be simple! I have changed the wallpaper in Nova to a static image but the lockscreen still shows the Xperia live wallpaper. I tried switching back to Xperia launcher and setting it there but no luck. The lock screen still shows the live wallpaper instead.
Is there any way to set it to a static image?

Settings - personalization - lock screen or alternatively you can just go straight into your photo gallery , choose a pic and from the options select 'set as lock screen wallpaper'

I knew it would be something simple I was too dumb to find! Thanks

I wanna do the opposite. I've changed the theme and now I can't find a way to make the lockscreen wallpaper to be the same live wallpaper than my homescreen. I'm on kitkat rooted. help please =(

I don't think you can change lockscreen wallpaper to a live one, even rooted.

[Q] Different wallpaper crop options on the z2 and z3 with lollipop?

Hello to all! I wanted to use a picture as wallpaper on portrait mode on my xperia z3 and I see I do not have that option.
It always asks to crop the pic. Also I do not have the option to use a static wallpaper and it always have to rotate.
My brother has the xperia z2 and can do everything I stated before! Is this normal?
I twitted sony but have no response after 48 hours and hoped that you will have the answer as always.
Just so you know we both updated to lollipop recently.
Thank you!!!!

I made the thread in the wrong section! I should do it in questions and answers! I searched but did not find how and If I can do it myself!

Moved to Z3 Q&A

Wouldn't mind an answer to this myself. I have a lot of wallpapers that are tall rather than wide and they are unusable with the cropping option I've given. :-/
I know I could use Nova Launcher but I'd rather know if there is a way to make this work with the default launcher.

I installed Google now launcher and use its wallpaper picker to apply those tall and portrait-typed wallpapers on default launcher.

That's weird. I tried that but the only way I can get it to work is to assign GNL as my default launcher, go and set the wallpaper, then set the Xperia Launcher back as default.

You need to long-press on homescreen and then choose Wallpapers and then another Wallpapers which is the wallpaper picker of GNL.

I noticed that there is no way to have a ''still'' portrait type wallpaper on the xperia z3.it has to be moving left and right and doesn't gives us that option. On the z2 if you choose a portrait wallpaper you don't have to crop it and it stays still on all screens... I cannot understand why they did this. I only found a way to do it on the default launcher. You have to choose photo slideshow live wallpaper and only choose the one wallpaper you like. The only thing i am not sure about is if it will have an effect on battery life.
