[Q] [A700] [CM11] Why won't my wallpaper change? - Acer Iconia A700 and A510

I have CM 11 on the nightlies. When I go in to change the wallpaper, regardless of the launcher that I use, I can only set them to either live wallpapers or a wallpaper that I used from my pictures. I am unable to use the default wallpapers that come with Cyanogenmod, Nova, etc. When I try and select one of the default still wallpapers, I click the set wallpaper button and then the option window closes and takes me back to my home screen where the wallpaper is black.
Any tips to fix this would be great! Thank you!

LRI home and lockscreen wallpaper automatic change

Hi all,
I've been looking for some time now for an app that would be able to change both wallpapers - home and lockscreen - automatically at the same time.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find one. All they did was changing homescreen wall only. Ticking ROM option to set lock wall same as home also did not worked for me: at the next scheduled change home wall changed, but lock remained the same.
And this morning, to my suprise, I've found a way around this problem.
I've set lockscreen wall to animated windmill one. And then I've cycled wallpaper from within Wallpaper Switcher - not using system settings. And suddenly it changed both walls at the same time!
Lockscreen wallpaper remains somewhat dimmed, as the windmill animated was. But the thing is that as long as I won't touch the system wallpaper settings and use only the external tool to change home wallpaper, the lockscreen one will nicely follow.
I hope this will hope someone with the same desire: to have lock and home walls the same, and be able to change them both at the same time using app with scheduler.
ROM: stock LRI XEO with NoteCore 12 OC Kernel
try multipicture wallpaper in playstore...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes, Multipicture Live Wallpaper is nice (enough to make me buy it) but I can't find a way to set it so I'll have the same, autoswitchable (at the same moment) wallpaper on all screens

[Q] stop wallpaper scroll

This is really bugging now. I have elegancia rom ICS 4.0.3 with sense 4.0.
I cannot set a wallpaper without it scrolling when I change from one home screen to the next. I've tried cropping the photo to the dimensions of the screen, and setting with both ES explorer and gallery but it will not set the background without doing the stupid crop thing and making it can scroll.
How can I turn off this annoying feature ?
Edit:
I tried sing an app called Wallpaper Wizardrii to turn off the scrolling. Actually it's done something to the wallpaper, the scrolling hasn't stopped, and I can't put it back by setting scroll on on the app or setting a wallpaper through gallery or ES:

There doesn't seem to be a setting to enable/disable wallpaper scroll in Sense that I can see, if it's really bugging you maybe it's time to experiment with a different launcher? I'm using GO Launcher EX and that has the option to disable wallpaper scrolling.
Having said that, I switched back to Sense and tried setting a wallpaper and it didn't try and crop it, just set it full screen...?

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.

Changing lock screen wallpaper? Bug?

So changing walpapers has never been so frustrating for me before.. I tried the traditional method of gallery find picture I want and set as wallpaper.. That doesn't work..
I figured out that to set home wallpaper you need to go through settings etc to do it..
but where on earth is there an option to set a lock screen wallpaper??
If you're using a different launcher such as Nova then go back to miui launcher and get again

Question Live wallpapers on lockscreen?

So I've not had a Samsung device since the S5, is it normal that I can't have a live wallpaper from an app (Let's say liveloop) on the lockscreen and a static wallpaper as the homescreen, as far as I've tried when I set a live wallpaper and then set a static one for the home screen the lock screen wallpaper changes to the default one
Any way to get past this?
Well, they are not called live wallpapers anymore. Just called video wallpapers. I use one of the ones that come with the phone and have a static picture on my home screen. Works just fine. I have tried other video wallpapers, but could not find one I liked any better then the one it came with. You can use the theming to get wallpapers, but it will usually change a lot of other things you may not want changed. I did use theming to be able to grab a wallpaper I wanted. Revert to default and then change to the wallpaper I wanted. Good luck.

My only problem is I don't want to use a video wallpaper, if I want to use a live wallpaper from an app like Walloop I can't have it just on my lockscreen, it has to be both
Not familiar with that app, but I am an old fart that really does not do too much messing with my setup any more. Sorry. Good luck.
Yes the phone supports Live wallpapers on the lockscreen. In wallpapers and style click on my wallpapers then on the 3 dots.
How to
Install the live wallpaper app, then go to my wallpapers the three dot menu and select live wallpapers and will open where you can select the wallpapers you have installed, you can apply as lock screen and homescreen or homescreen only.
