Anyone know if there is a way to have the lockscreen wallpaper just be transparent so the main wallpaper can be seen?
You could use the same wallpaper for both or disable the lock screen altogether.
Can't really disable lockscreen as I encrypted the device. Same wallpaper would work but I actually use Tasker to go out and grab a weather radar image every 30 minutes and set that as wallpaper. Problem is that the lockscreen wallpaper doesn't appear to just reference the location of the file picked (otherwise I'd just overwrite it). Anyone know where the file is stored? Easy enough to crop an image to the right size using tasker.

anyone know how to do this? i thought it was simple but i can't seem to find it in any settings
you cant. the lockscreen background is the same background as your homescreen wallpaper.
This is a small glitch but if you use a some replacement and change the live wallpaper it will appear in the lockscreen.
actually, found a great third party app that does it. Lock 2.0. Does a few other useful things as well. so while there is no "native" way to do it there are options...
Hi! I have a Z3 with Muzei as a live wallpaper which updates images every day. I really like to have the current wallpapers in the lockscreen as well but I haven't found any option like that. Is there any way to deactivate the lockscreen so only the wallpaper could be seen or maybe replicate the same wallpaper configuration to the lockscreen?
Thank you!

You can try the Facebook Home app. There is an option to use the same wallpaper as the one used in the home-screen
same here
Hi, I was searching the whole Web for the same thing.
I think with Muzei we will not be able to sync our start screen with our lock screen with Muzei, since that is a Live Wallpaper and those are not supported on lock screen.
I want to get the current BIng picture of the day on my screens -- automaticaly. Well, I think I have to live without this....
I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to change the lock screen wallpaper on stock lollipop. Like have it different from your home screen wallpaper
You can't.
As an alternative, I can name two options:
Install a custom ROM that contains this feature (i.e. Cataclysm)
Use a third-party lockscreen (i.e. Widget Locker)
I was banging my head as the lockscreen was not showing different different wallpapers even if I keep the wallpaper carousel app enabled.
If you are facing the same issue, do the following:
1. Open Themes app and select the default theme (Check all the options in the bottom like Lockscreen, Homescreen, System and Icons). Refer screenshot 1.
2. Now restart phone.
3. Open Wallpaper Carousel app (Settings / Lock screen & password / Wallpaper Carousel) and Turn on.
4. Add Wallpaper Carousel to Autostart (Settings / Permissions / Autostart).
5. Restart phone and like after 30 min press the powerkey and you should see the lockscreen is displaying different different wallpapers (That is Wallpaper carousel app is working properly)
We really do not like the default theme so if you like to install any other theme then before applying the theme, please uncheck 'Lockscreen' and apply and restart phone and you'll find the lockscreen changes wallpapers. If you select the 'Lockscreen' and then apply the non default/custom theme, what happens is, the wallpaper carousel will be unlinked and the theme forces its own wallpaper hence you will be find the wallpaper carousel is not working. I have spend days to understand this logic and wanted to share this info to help you all.
P.S: Some says it wallpaper carousel works only on Default Launcher. This is not true as it is working on my All time favorite 'Lightning Launcher'.
this solution working ONLY od you have region set to India/Indonesia. Not working fór EU version.
no
Thanks.... It's really worked on my phone as mentioned above step by step.
yes thanks for sharing your view , i will also want to try it with my phone and after that i will share my result opinion.
Hi all, is there a way to set a live wallpaper on lock screen and some different wallpaper on home screen in non-rooted phone (i.e. how to unlink lockscreen from home screen)? And grateful, if someone links to how to save to the non-rooted phone visible storage a live wallpaper file from a wallpaper app (Walloop). Many thanks
