How to display different wallpaper for Desktop and Lock Screen? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hey all. Gosh I feel like an idiot for posting but cant for the life of me figure this super basic thing out.
Im on a S7 Edge, using Nova Launcher, and the Goodluck UI. Wanted to mention all that as I think that is why Im having so much trouble. No matter what app, or setting on the phone, it makes the wallpaper the same for both the lock scree and desktop. Can someone tell me what steps work with the configuration I have
Thanks!

Usually you would use the wallpaper setting in Android itself and tell it to set the Homescreen/Lock screen separately using the dropdown at the top of the wallpaper choice screen, but iirc, Good lock has its own wallpaper setting, I don't use it so not sure where it is, but I'd have a look in Good lock settings to start

You can set the home screen however you want, but the lock screen has to be done a specific way. Go into the stock Gallery app, find the pic you want to use then hit "More" in the upper right corner. Then "Set as wallpaper" and choose which you want to set it for, home screen, lock screen, or both.
It's annoying to have to use the Gallery app as it has no way to filter out unwanted folders like all my music folders with album art, but it is the only way I've found so far to set different lock screen and home screen wallpapers.

[REQUEST] [APP] Disable widget "movement" on home screens

I notice a lot that the widgets are very sensitive to touch. Often I'll try scrolling one or pushing something and it "peels off" the widget like I'm trying to move it around on the screen.
This is very frustrating. Is there any way that I can lock them down so they can be used but not moved? Any apps for this? If not, there should be.
Yes we need this!!!!
I haven't been able to find such an app, nor a setting on my phone.
However ..... You can go into accessibility an change the hold delay from short to long.. which should prevent most accidents..

You are picking the setting that is for the lock screen only as opposed to the one that sets home, and lock screen? Slso there is a free app called crop wallpaper in the play store that lets you set windscreen wallpaper, and lock screens.

Yes. If I choose the "Lock Screen Wallpaper" section only, it wont change. If I do "Home Screen Wallpaper" only, it changes both the home screen and the lock screen to the same wallpaper.
Could it be because im using a custom lockscreen? (agile lock)

It probably is the custom lockscreen, but you can also probably set your wallpaper through that app's settings.

Stock 3100 transparent lockscreen.

Anyone know how to make stock lockscreen into transparent lockscreen. Im using paper live wallpaper and i hate when i saw different wallpaper between home screen and lock screen. Yes i know i can use third party app but no third party lockscreen replacement app works in landscape mode except widgetlocker and i cant install widgetlocker for some reason(widget locker cannot be install. Please free up some space). I have 1.6 gb free memory. Idk why.
Unlock your device then tap and long press on home screen. You will notice that there are 3 options for changing wallpaper on home screen, lock screen or apply for both.
I cant make live wallpaper for lock screen but thanks anyway.. i think i need to live that way..

Lock screen replacement on CM12

I've been running CM12 for a while now and the only thing I dislike about Lolipop is the lock screen. I really miss widgets and apps on my lock screen. I installed C Locker (Pro) which I had used on a different phone running KK and it works much better now on Lolipop. It is very customizable, I am using transparent clock/weather widget, calendar widget (Scrollable) and a number of app shortcuts. The only gotcha was I had to delete the Android guest account otherwise when I would unlock it would go to the Lolipop lock screen. You can setup up a lot of gesture actions, and click on the lock button turns the phone back off. Mine is probably gaudy and way too colorful for most but that's how I like it

I couldn't remember exactly so I went through it again
1- Switch user to the guest user in settings (have to go through initial setup for the guest user, I skipped everything I could in the setup process)
2- then go to back into the users in settings
3- instead of choosing your main user account to switch back to, select "remove Guest"
At this point, it switched me back to my original user, but the touch screen is not responsive
Pull battery and replace
once rebooted, go into C Locker, turn it off and then back on.
Then everything works fine.
The guest user will still show up in users, I guess it recreates it.
Hope this helps...

Thanks a lot for your quick reply but i found another way to disable it In Clocker ->Security->turn off default lock screen.. and you are done with it. But in this case you will miss out those beautiful floating notifications on lock screen.
