Changing lock screen wallpaper (Android 7.0) - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

Is anyone else having issues with changing the lock screen wallpaper with any other launcher besides the default Album app.
Using Nova and every other app just puts you in a loop of choosing which app to use.

Using nova launcher and have no problems changing lock screen with stock album app. It does not show up only if I am listening to music. Instead of lock screen pic it shows the music pic but as soon as I close the music app it shows the lock screen pic I set again.
Once you chose set as lock screen pick the album again in the list of app to chose from.

Widgets Not Working Properly

The two widgets Meridian 1x4 Music Widget and Beautiful Small Home aren't working properly.
The Music widget sometimes just stops playing the song and then it freezes. Also, sometimes when I change the song the name stays the same. I found that the app closes everytime I lock then unlock the screen. There is like a 5s delay and the app dies. (Tried disabling both Advanced Task Killer and Task Manager...)
The Beautiful Home widget does not update at all. (Used to upgrade when I unlocked the screen so I reinstalled and it worked for a while) Now the time just freezes. When I create another small home widget it works for a while and then stops working again...
I have both Advanced Task Killer and Task Manager. However, I already set Beautiful Widgets and Meridian on ignore. Even tried disabling them altogether.
Thanks.

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..

Changing lock screen camera selection

I found something very interesting on accident I DLed holo locker and was playing with it a bit, it allows you to change the camera app that opens from the lock screen I uninstalled holo locker, and the stock lockscreen camera app is now the app I selected in holo locker, haven't tested if it stays on reboot yet.
Edit: I just rebooted and it stuck.

How to display different wallpaper for Desktop and Lock Screen?

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.
