Hi all
I've noticed from using the phone that when you set a custom Wallpaper or Lock Screen wallpaper, the phone lags on turning on, the lockscreen takes a second to come on (sometimes), and the same with the desktop wallpaper.
Seems to me the problem is tied directly into the theme engine.
Is there any way to get around this without having to use the Stock preset themes and not altering the wallpapers?
If there was an easy way to simply mod / add the wallpapers you want to use into the theme, or remove the wallpapers from the theme entirely then we may not get the lag any more?
Thanks for reading/

Hi all
This doesn't happens when I use standard themes without additional wallpaper, mainly during pressing power key or waking phone after pattern lock, I think new lollipop upgrade may solve this issue

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

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
For the life of me I cant find the option to change to lockscreen wallpaper. Is it even possible ?
Settings, personalize, lock screen style, settings, use custom wallpaper

Thanks but what im trying to achieve here is for example the weather lock screen the setting is greyed out. same foe stock screen. You can only change the wallpaper for the main blank lock screen.

you can use a custom wallpaper for all but Friend Stream, Photo Album, Weather and Stocks.
Those 4 are gpu rendered because they're dynamic animations, thats why the background's cant be changed on them. (It has been that way since they were introduced in sense 3.0)
Gotcha.. Sad.. recently switched from Touchwiz so still new for Sense.
Sense is a little bit heavy overlay but 4.0 is much better than 3.6. Once downloader unlock is available you can flash custom Rom without sense at all, if you want that..would be true android ice cream sandwich...

I've been using the Productivity lock screen style (lists your unread notifications). I switched back to blank, changed the lock screen wallpaper, and changed it back to Productivity. Doesn't work. The wallpaper changed back to home wallpaper.
There is no option to change the wallpaper of the Productivity lock screen style. Weird since everything is static with no animations at all.
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...

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
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.
