I recently got the AT&T OTA Lollipop upgrade. Everything is fine, but I have an app that rotates my wallpapers from an RSS feed. The problem is I use my phone at work, and some of the wallpapers can be NSFW.
Is there a way to make the lock screen completely opaque, not just translucent which lets people see my wallpaper? Or better yet, is there a way to set the lollipop lock screen background to something completely different to hide the phone's wallpaper?
I tried different lock screen apps, but that made me have to unlock my phone twice. I rooted and switched to Cyanogenmod 12, but it didn't do what I want it to do either. Any help?
flashed a theme but after this i cannot set my wallpaper on the s-view and lock screen to the one I downloaded, the option is just not there. I can only select it when I choose homescreen or homescreen and lockscreen. I reflashed my stock rom but still the same
no one?
Can someone at least confirm it working or not working on their device?
Yes
I was able to change my sview wallpaper out of the box
But now I am experiencing the same issue you have.
Hello,
I want to set my lockscreen wallpaper to a pure black one, but when I do, it is not actually black. I have read others on androidcentral having the same problems but have yet to find a solution.
Please see attached screenshot for the issue I am having. Note that the wallpaper used in that screenshot is 100% pure black, but appears grey.
If I change the screen lock to "swipe", it is pure black, but I prefer to have the security of the fingerprint...
My device IS ROOTED and I have xposed/custom ROM installed, and I am sure there must be a config file or something that I could modify to remove this tinting that is occurring. If anyone could help me out that would be awesome.
Thanks.
i have the same question,did you manage to solve this issue? thx
Hey Guys, I have a solution if your have xposed installed, look for a module called bright lock screen... fixes it perfectly!
Hey guys i cant seem to be able to change my lockscreen on my s7 running nougat. I installed acDisplay and it worked but would then go to the samsung lockscreen. Any one know how to disable or change it. On other phones there was an option for this in default apps this phone doesnt have this.
Thanks in Advance.
I have a related question: I have an app that changes my wallpaper every day, but it doesn't change the lock screen wallpaper. In previous android phones there was a setting to have the lock screen be whatever the home screen is, how do I accomplish this on Galaxy S7?
All of a sudden my phone decided to enable the dark theme yesterday and I can't get it to go back to the light theme. I did not change my wallpaper - still on the default actually.
I've tried forcing it to go light under Settings > Display > Theme > Light but to no avail.
Anyone else running into this? How do I resolve without being forced into resetting the entire phone?

Try changing wall papers and reboot a few times.
Just tried that, but no luck.
The strange thing is that it's only the quick settings panel and volume/power panel. Folders are showing up correctly.

I also have the same issue. I had mine set to auto and it randomly switched over to dark.
I've been on dark theme since I got my Pixel 3 but this morning I switched it to automatic and my app drawer, and Google discover feed turned white based on my wallpaper but the volume UI as well as quick tiles stayed black. I switched for forced white, rebooted several times and it's still not completely white as it's supposed to be. Hope someone comes up with a solution.

I really don't know if this will help, but, have you tried removing or adding some of the QS icons and then rebooting. What the heck, worth a try I reckon.

That was a good suggestion, I also thought of that and unfortunately it didn't work. When you pull down QS and click the edit button there is even a reset option in the top right which I tried as well. Changed wallpapers several times, rebooted the phone both regularly as well as into safe mode. Still stays in dark theme. It has to be something server side Google accidentally did similar to recently when they accidentally switched all Pixel phones to battery saver mode over night. Who knows, hoping it gets fixed soon.

Bummer man. Hopefully the googleites will get it resolved for you all. If your bootloader unlocked, have you tried fastbooting the factory image. Or, factory resetting?
I'm glad I'm not alone. I ended up resetting the phone. Hopefully a fix is in the works cause I ain't resetting again.

Just had this issue this morning.
I figured it out that, if you go into Android Messages app, and disable Dark theme in that app, then the System UI changes back to the Light theme, (if that is what is selected, or should be using based on wallpaper)
I have already reported this to Google, and they had an engineer work with me to get a Bug Report sent to them.
OMG you're right. I just tried it. Looks like the Messenger update pushed last night to my phone doesn't address the issue yet.
Have a solution to this issue (one that will allow me to keep Messages app in dark theme). The problem is Settings > System > Developer Settings > Night Mode is stepping on Settings > Display > Advanced > Device Theme. The Night Mode setting in developer settings I had it set to "Always" and it was keeping the notification shade from turning white with the rest of the launcher stuff. I turned that to "Always off" and now in the display settings if I set the device theme to light, the notification shade turns white, if I set it to dark, the notification shade turns dark as it should.
Another workaround:
Instead of turning off dark theme in Messages, just toggling the Battery saver on off will do the trick
Had the same issue - this fixed it!
Stuck on Light Theme , Dark don't work
in Advance Display Setting, Dark Mode don't work ! It's Selected But, Setting Menu Still Light.
I also see this, and can change the system theme from the messages theme. Strange.
Another weird quirk is the lock screen font color is black. This seemed to have happened after updating the January security patch. Anything else have this issue?
