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

Thanks, that solution works for me.
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!

***** ATTENTION PLEASE: These mods are for MJA/MK2 ONLY! If you want them for MDL and MF9 go here *****
Hello,
I'm creating this thread for those that would like to continue using the options that @fgr offered with his custom homescreens. I have continued the work on custom homescreens for MJA that will give you more room on your TouchWiz Launcher.
These are deodexed Launchers. If you want to try this on an odexed rom, first download any other launcher from the play store and switch to it, then use root explorer or equivalent to delete SecLauncher3.apk and SecLauncher3.odex from system/app. Boot into recovery, flash, reboot, switch to your new touchwiz launcher, uninstall nova or whatever you used and enjoy. This has been confirmed to work.
Downloads:
Sprint Touchwiz Screens:
4x5_4x6_3x4_PI_Down_Scroll_NoText_MJA.zip = 4x5 home screen, 4x5 app screen, 3x4 widget screen, page indicator down, no bottom icon text, scrolling wallpaper.
4x5_5x6_3x4_PI_Up_Scroll_MJA.zip = 4x5 home screen, 5x6 app screen, 3x4 widget screen, page indicator up, no bottom icon text, scrolling wallpaper.
4x5_5x6_3x4_PI_Up_Scroll_Text_MJA.zip = 4x5 home screen, 5x6 apps screen, 3x4 widget screen, page indicator up, bottom icon text, scrolling wallpaper.
4x5_5x6_3x4_PI_Up_NoScroll_Text_MJA.zip = 4x5 home screen, 5x6 apps screen, 3x4 widget screen, page indicator up, bottom icon text, no scrolling wallpaper.
5x6_5x6_3x4_PI_Down_NoTxt_Scroll_MJA.zip = 5x6 homescreen, 5x6 apps screen, 3x4 widget screen, page indicator down, no bottom icon text, scrolling wallpaper.
Touchwiz 4.3 Restore.zip = restore file. This will restore the original stock Touchwiz screens.
I9505 Touchwiz Screens (by request only):
I9505 4x5_4x6_3x4_PI_UP_NoTxt_Scroll_MJA.zip = 4x5 homescreen, 4x6 apps screen, 3x4 widget screen, page indicator up, no bottom icon text, scrolling wallpaper.
I9505 Touchwiz 4.3 Restore.zip = restore file. This will restore the original stock I9505 Touchwiz screens. If they don't flash correctly please pull the apk files from the zip and push them to your phone setting the proper permissions.
IMPORTANT:
When switching from a larger Home Screen grid to a smaller Home Screen grid, remove any icons that will not fit in the smaller grid before flashing. For example, you're going from a 5x5 to a 4x5 homescreen, and you had a widget in columns 3, 4 and 5. Column 5 will no longer be there and the right third of the widget will be cut off. If you try to move or delete it, the launcher will force close.
If you forget and do it anyway, not a problem. Reboot back to recovery, flash the old grid size you had and reboot. Move the widgets/icons then flash the smaller grid.

I'm running these on a deodexed stock rom. They have been reported in fgr's original thread as working with odexed roms. Make a backup before trying. If you want to try this on an odexed rom, first download any other launcher from the play store and switch to it, then use root explorer or equivalent to delete SecLauncher3.apk and SecLauncher3.odex from system/app. Boot into recovery, flash, reboot, switch to your new touchwiz launcher, uninstall nova or whatever you used and enjoy. This has been confirmed to work. I'll update the OP with these instructions.

I did create just that. I tested it also. It's working 100%. Do you have wanam xposed installed? Check and see if you have scrolling wallpaper enabled. That will certainly override the XML edits. Also make sure you downloaded the correct one. The one you want is the 3rd one down the list under "Sprint TouchWiz Screens".
I've put the link here for you to make it easier.
here's a video proving it works:

That is not what you asked for. In fact you didn't specify which one you wanted at all so I assumed you meant the one being discussed right before your post.
I'll try to get to it as soon as I can.

I seriously doubt it. The XML changes drastically with the TouchWiz screen between releases. In fact redoing fgr's work really wasn't just as simple as copying it to MJA. I literally had to redo the code. I'd make a backup first.
What's up with the weird box on the weather widget? Is there a fix?

Then it is surely a bug the rom itself has.
