[Q] s5 lock screen wallpaper - General Topics

Does anyone know how to change the s5 lock screen wallpaper to something other than the default ones included

Setting > Wallpaper > Lock screen. (they may have hidden it under Personalisation, my S5 is currently on the other side of town.) Then choose Gallery for the option to select an image of your own.
You can also select 'Home and Lockscreen' to apply the same wallpaper to both.
If you want to use a live wallpaper on the lockscreen, you will need to use the 'Home and Lockscreen' option.

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

[Q] Lock Screen Wallpaper changer

Hi,
I use 500px Wallpaper for my homescreen, so every 5 minutes It changes the homescreen wallpaper automatically.
Like that Do we have any tool for LockScreen also. I can use travel wallpaper, but its options is very limited. Any leads. ?
If you use a transparent lockscreen than it's possible. I use a wallpaper changer for my background and that one is also on my lockscreen.
I use the rom x-note 21 with AOSP lockscreen, but I think it will work on any rom. Furthermore you need the Xposed module GravityBox where you can adjust the transparency settings.

Settings > Device > Wallpaper > Home & Lockscreen. This allows you to apply a live wallpaper to the lockscreen as well.
I've just got the PhotoFX Live Wallpaper applied to Home&Lockscreen. Folder with 8000 files, randomly changes at every interval I select (1h for battery life).

Parallax Lockscreen

hello there,
I'm using an app called Minima, basically it allows you to set a wallpaper with Parallax Effect (move the phone and wallpaper moves too).
I find this pretty cool but I cannot set a Lockscreen wallpaper with parallax effect using this app.
So I was wondering if someone has another app that does the same job but who can set a Parallax Lockscreen too?
Thanks
open settings > display > wallpaper > Home and lockscreen and choose the live wallpaper > parallex done

Live Wallpapers?

Am I just blind or is there not an option to choose a live wallpaper for the background on the S8+?
I'm using Nova launcher and it's just a long press on the desktop, choose wallpaper icon and then the live wallpapers are last in the list over to the right. That said, some of the stock wallpapers seem to stop and start for no reason!
I can't find it either on the stock launcher. I can't get rid of the infinity live wallpaper on the always on display either.
It's in settings > wallpapers for sick, it's the first four wallpapers with a tiny play button in the upper right corner.
They call them infinity wallpapers, you do it through their theme app thing

Which clock did you pick? Depending on which clock you picked, you're gonna see the live wallpaper on the AOD. I know you won't see the wallpaper if you pick the calendar one. That's the one I'm using.
It's the default set one.

Those are different from live wallpapers. I have several live wallpapers installed and none show up. I think this is a bug. I read somewhere earlier that this is fixed in Android 7.1.2 which I don't have yet. I'm on Verizon and am running 7.0.
Yeah I can't figure it out either...
I use 3d Parallax Backgrounds, and these live wallpapers seem fine. Although I have to use the app to set them. As I also don't see the stock option for live wallpaper.
Samsung removed it with nougat. Here a link to a app to use live wallpapers https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/app-7-0-live-wallpaper-picker-home-lock-t3503347 Use the 1.21 final one

If you download a wallpaper called blow them all live wallpaper it comes with a separate app to apply this wallpaper but it also lists all other live wallpapers you have downloaded which don't show up on the phone itself so you can apply any live wallpaper you download through this app, there is a free and paid version of this app, the free one works fine for doing this, just open the app click set wallpaper and your list of all downloaded live wallpapers will pop up
anyone has the Whale Wallpaper of S8 ?
the one we see in Adds of S8
Solution!
As mentioned by someone else downloading "Blow them all Live Wallpaper" makes it possible to see all other live wallpapers you have downloaded. Go to the settings for the "Blow ...." and go to "set wallpaper". There they will be.
With all the live wallpapers I used you run the live wallpaper from it's app icon and it allows you to set it.
Easier solution
At the end of the route of "My Wallpapers" click the last thumbnail with the plus sign on it, then click the triple-dots and select Live Wallpapers. You should see you're installed live wallpapers.
Here's what I've been using to set them https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/app-7-0-live-wallpaper-picker-home-lock-t3503347
Edit: doesn't work for me now, used to use on my s7 nougat

Go to Settings -> Wallpapers & Themes -> My Wallpapers -> Three Dots in upper right corner of screen -> Live Wallpapers. It should be the only option in the pop-up menu that appears. It has been there since day one on my verizon s8+.
I'm using the Live Wallpaper Picker from here on my S8+ and Note 8.

This is the right answer, folks. Samsung has certainly not removed a built-in way to do this, but the location of the option is buried a little deeper than it should be.
If you download an app that can display and make shortcuts to "activities" (Tasker, QuickShortcutMaker, probably many more), you can create a shortcut to the built-in activity to avoid having to use Samsung's theming app to apply an installed live wallpaper.

Just downloaded google wallpapers and the live one are great - pixel 2 wallpapers work great

How to change lockscreen live wallpaper and make it "stick"

My wife uses a live wallpaper from the Play Store, but every time she applied it to the lockscreen, it always reverted to the stock "blooming flower" live wallpaper. I finally figured out how to enable her favorite wallpaper and retain it.
1. Download your favorite live wallpaper
2. Install Good Lock from Galaxy Store
3. Open Good Lock and install LockStar
4. Open LockStar and tap "Edit lock screen"
5. Tap "Wallpaper" on bottom left. The active wallpaper is already selected (far left). Select one of the other static wallpapers and make any other changes to the lockscreen as desired, then tap "Save" at top right.
6. Now go to main phone Settings > Wallpaper
7. Tap "My Wallpapers", tap the 3 dots at top right, then tap "Live Wallpapers"
8. Tap your custom live wallpaper, tap "Set wallpaper " and choose "Home screen and lock screen"
Now your favorite live wallpaper should appear on the lockscreen.
