Hey everyone. I'm using a materials wallpaper on my note 5 and I noticed the color of the wallpaper seems to be lighter on the lockscreen but when I unlocked the phone, the colors become more rich and vibrant. For example. the darker sections will be a dull grey-ish color but when I unlock the phone and I'm on the home screen, those same sections will be a rich black-ish color. Any one else have this happening to them?
Are you seeing the lockscreen color? The lockscreen itself has like a gray film over the wallpaper so it will appear as darker colors. Does it on all Samsung devices.

Not sure what you mean by "lockscreen color" I do see the color of the wallpaper on the lockscreen but it's not as rich as the wallpaper color on the home screen.

Imagine like a film covering a window, like tinted car windows, this is what the lockscreen does to newer Samsung devices. It did it on my s6 edge as well, if you have a lockscreen it's colors are just a little darker than your normal wallpaper. It's normal across new Samsung devices.

There anyway to change the lockscreen? I downloaded a theme, and although I like it everywhere else, I do not like the image on the lockscreen.
Touch and hold the home screen then select wallpaper. In the upper left corner tap home screen. A drop down should appear letting you choose home screen, lock screen or both.

When you use your own wallpapers on home and Lockscreen, the lock screen has a transparent white overlay that makes the wallpaper look really bad. Is there any way or mod to get rid of it so that the walls look rigth? Thanks for any imput.
Hi All,
I have been trying some themes for some time. They all have cons and pros. Sometimes, I love the lock screen of the theme but the icons are too dark or vice-versa. So, what I am curious is: Is there a way to use a theme's only lock screen along with my default theme or with any other theme? What I am trying to use is the lock screen of "sd-Black" theme.
Regards
Unfortunately, right now the themes are an "all or nothing" thing. It's been that way since the theme store launched sadly.

Sad to hear that. It would be nice to customize themes accordingly.
Thank you Devhux.

You can run a 3rd party launcher and then run an icon pack. However, you're still stuck with the notification area theme and the rest of the colors (ie - messaging app, menus, etc...).
I wanted a nice black background with very subdued clock and non-flashy icons for camera/phone on my lock screen. I also wanted nice black notification dropdown and black everything. Tried SD-black but the color on the clock for the lock screen killed it, for me. Turns out you can't mod your icons with icon packs with the default launcher. But by using Nova launcher, MINU black edition theme, and Candycons icon pack, my UI is how I want it, the lock screen is how I want it, and I use the icons I like.
You can always change the background on both home screen and lock screen, too. Regardless.

Actually, that lock screen is what I want But it turns out, I can't have it apart from the theme. I am using default theme and icons (I like them) but I changed the backgrounds with something dark.
Do you guys have noticed that when you apply a wallpaper that is fully black, the color on top where the status bar is is grey? It is even more noticeable when you hide the status bar in Nova launcher than there is a grey bar on top of the screen. Now I don't know if that has to do with the aspect ratio but it is not so nice to look at in my opinion.

It's normal. It's some sort of statusbar shade so that it's easier to see the statusbar on lighter wallpapers.
There's also one at the bottom where you usually swipe to open the app drawer.
Okay tnx but I haven't noticed it before on my S5.

I too had this problem with my s6 and now with s8+. I mainly noticed when i changed the themes with Nova launcher. But the thing worked for me is to apply wallpaper from Nova launcher(long press on home screen > wallpaper > choose). Almost every time this worked for me but u can try by switching the applying process from Gallery and from Nova launcher alternatively.

If you downloaded one from google search it could be an improper resolution. try search 2 ,WALLPAPERYOUWANT 2960x1440 then click the images or look for it to say that resolution in image details
example
Dragon Ball Super 2960x1440 if x doesnt work try * 2960*1440
Tnx! I fixed it with adding shadow on top and bottom in Nova settings

Have the same problem. With black wallpaper it is light at the top. With light wallpaper it is dark at the top. Wtf Samsung !!!!
SOLVED!
Hey there this threat is pretty old but I'll put it out there just in case anyone else is having the same grey status bar shade while using black wallpapers which I'm sure are still out there. So here's the fix I just figured and hopes it helps other. It's simple really! Apparently samsung has this irritating thing on the s7 and s8 I guess. So to fix it, just download samsung's goodlock app, install it. When your phone comes back on after the compulsory reboot, then navigate to "advanced" on the goodlock settings disable status bar dim background. That's all! Apply your black wallpapers and enjoy your amoled screens! Please share if it helped you.

Well, this doesn't look like it's working for note 5 or the APK doesn't download\work anymore. APK parse error when installing. I've gotten the apk from multiple locations with no luck. GRR, this is frustrating. I've also tried multiple launchers thinking it was that, with no luck. The suggesting to use the shadow settings in Nova don't work either.
Any other options?
Who else experiences a tint around the status bar wallpapers when using Nova or stock launcher. I like to use an all black wallpaper, but the colour tint ruins the all black look. I used to think my display was faulty, but I can look at the same wallpaper in my gallery, full screen, and no tint
Status bar is gray and you can't change color. You'll have to live with it. Got same problem.
Hi,
Do you also get a purple effect while on lock screen after pie update? And it goes back to normal only while unlocked ?
I'm thinking about reset the phone already...
That is an android pie feature.
It depends on the wallpaper main colour. Try to change it and you will see that it changes.

It's implemented by HTC, found a wallpaper that it doesn't happen.
I use the day/night automatic change wallpaper feature.
During the day, I have configured one with red and orange colours so the effect is red/pink.
During night I have configured one with blue and the effect is blue (light blue, in fact).
I think is quite cool this effect.
i don't get it can you show me a video of this effect

Try the following atachments "tech" as your lockscreen wallpaper and the other one(Harley Quinn) as your "desktop" wallpaper.
Then lock your phone... You'll see it get purple..
