Multi Picture Live Wallpaper not working - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, does anyone know what this live wallpaper does not work on the Mate 8 (using nova launcher)? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture I have never have problems with this one in my other phones (HTC, LG, Motorola). Also Setting a wallpaper using nova launcher disotrts the image if it is not exactly 1920x1080, already tried all posible nova configurations, but the wallpaper gets distorted

I am unable to use "Multipicture Live Wallpaper" either on my ZenFone 3 Deluxe. I t worked great on my Zen 2 but after I go through the set up (identical to Zen 2) I get an error message stating "Screen x Picture is unavailable. Need to setup or reload." I have 9 screens / wallpaper each with a static picture. As for the lock screen, I point it to a specific folder and let the picture auto-update every 30 min. The lock screen does not work either. It shows the original image, when i swipe to unlock, i get a brief glimpse of the MPLW image. Anyone else been able to resolve this?

I have an issue with Huawei P9 plus and honor magic.
Multipicture can set only one screen wallpaper.
It changes after double tap screen. But all pages use the same wallpaper.
Huawei default launcher and NovaLauncher act same.
I thought it was a problem of android 6.0.
But all works fine in Nexus 6P Android6.0 and 7.0.
So that may be a feature for huawei EMUI.

I found a way to solve this issue.
Install go launcher ex and set live wallpaper in golauncher. You will find that it works fine.
Then go back to Nova launcher.
Multipicture will works fine too …

Corrupted Wallpapers on Nova Launcher after reboot

I'm using Nova Launcher Prime on my XTZ with 4.1.2 and I'm experiencing the issue that the wallpapers look corrupted after every second reboot.
The wallpapers are using are HD wallpapers (1920x1080), mostly from the konachan.com site.
Why I'm posting this here?
Because I don't have this issue on other devices like my 2nd Nexus 7 or Acer Iconia A700 with the same wallpapers.
The problem has to be related with the Tablet Z.
I took a screenshot how the wallpaper look like:
Does someone issue the same thing and knows how to fix it?

Hi,
I have the same issue, but I also do not know how to fix it.

Er... I also have XTZ with stock 4.1.2 and Nova Prime, and I had never the slightest problem with wallpapers.
Do the stock wallpapers work without problems? Then something is wrong with your downloaded wallpapers...

A possible difference may be that I am using the Landscape only Wallpaper setting with Nova and not the Standard Full Settings, because I want to use 1920x1080 Standard Wallpapers that do not get cut off. If I use the Full mode I also do not experience the aforementioned issue.
By the way guys, what apps do you use to set new wallpaper with stock launcher? Without wallpaper resize and other mess. Any simple one click solution?
I get this problem periodically too. I found the following sometimes fixes things:
Set your wallpaper
Go to settings > apps and remove defaults for Nova
Press home key
Select stock launcher on once only
Set a wallpaper in the stock launcher
Press home key again
Set Nova back as always action
For me this fixed a similar issue with the wallpaper. I have experienced this issue but don't remember if I got around it with settings and crop controls or the above.

[Q] Random lockscreen pictures

Hi! I really ike that the Honor 6 shows random lockscreen pics. However I must have ruined it somehow as I cannot find that option anywhere in the menu. I can only choose to change it every 5 minutes or less frequently. If anyone konws what might caused this change please give me a hint.
You probably mean the magazine lockscreen. If you had changed a theme from default theme, the magazine lockscreen gets turned off, and so you have to go to theme manager and chose locksreen style as magzine lockscreen/default theme lockscreen style.

Anyone on L02/L12 Emui3.0 found way to get the magazine lockscreen to show new pictures ? The magazine lockscreen on my P6 works fine and shows new images, but on Honor 6 is stuck with the dozen images.
To manage magazine just swipe from bottom to top at the lock screen and select More then Settings
It doesn't work and there isn't options in settings to select random wallpaper.
I have the same problem except I want to turn it off, not on. I also see no option in the settings app and I have the daily wallpaper off in the Google Wallpapers app.

How to change lockscreen wallpaper Mate 9 US version??

Why is it complicated to change the lockscreen wallpaper on the Mate 9 US version? All other tutorials online have the lockscreen in the wallpaper settings, but apparently not on my version. I had to change it using the Theme app and then customise.
With that said, is there a way to change the lockscreen wallpaper at different intervals like how one can change the wallpaper intervals and choose the source of where the wallpaper is coming from?
Very confusing as I was just praising how I like EMU 5.0.

What retailer did you use to purchase you device? I've been searching online trying to identify if mate 9 has a see threw lock screen. I really like to use live wallpapers on my home screen, and view them on my lock screen. This is really important to me, actually deciding feature because I don't want to have to bother rooting for this simple feature. The only think I could find on it was this http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/worldwide/wheat-mate8/faqs/detail/themes-and-wallpaper.htm from their site, however I'm not sure if it is accurate for the mate 9!
To answer the OP, yes.
Go-to screen lock and passwords, click on magazine unlock and you can select which genre of photos you want downloaded. Then on the lock screen, you can heart/like them or move them to be deleted so they don't show up again. I've included some screenshots.
I haven't found an option to how often they are switched, I thought I had earlier but have forgotten if it was another option I'm referring to.
Edit:
The option I was referring to was actually Wallpaper interval, not lock screen.
I have my options set like that, but my lockscreen never updates. It's always the amber colored swoosh on a black background. I was able to set the wallpaper to the magazine folder, so at least I can see those photos as my wallpaper, updating as set.
On a related note, I wanted to copy the stock "wallpaper" photos into the "magazine" folder, so it would cycle through all of them, but I could never find where the wallpaper photos were stored. :-|

Did you mean this folder?
Not sure if you know about swiping up from the lock screen to get the play pause for wallpapers.
No, that's the magazine folder that I switched the wallpapers to pull from. What I was looking for was the storage of the ORIGINAL wallpaper folders. But I've since found it, they aren't all in one folder, they are in various subfolders of internal storage\HWThemes\.cache

Hmmm, strangely, I just went back into "Screen lock style", and re-selected magazine unlock (which was already selected), and now I'm getting the updating lock screen images.

Thank you for that tip! Swiping up on lock screen and hitting play/pause. Perfect! That is what I was looking for.
How can I apply own pictures to the lockscreen while using the play/pause feature, or does that only work for Subscriptions?
Thank you for that tip
If you go to your lock screen and pull up, you'll get this menu. As long as it looks like this, it will change every time you turn it on.
You can heart certain selections and they won't be deleted.

Yes, there is a category for Live Wallpaper, but current do not have any live wallpaper to try it out. Maybe there are others who have live wallpaper on their Mate 9, which I am assuming you are asking?
And I bought my Mate 9 from Best Buy.
It's there anyway to have home screen wallpaper change in intervals?

Auto changing lock screen wallpapers on mate 9
if you want to set auto changing wallpapers on mate 9 then lock the phone and press the unlock button to wake up then phone swipe from bottom there is a play and pause button click play and you are ready to go

Thanks

Then go into phone settings and hit wallapper, then try to see if there is a lockscreen option if so, hit the button and select the live wallpaper.

On nougat beta, there is no wallpaper option in settings.
I know on marshmallow there was one.
heya
is there anyone find an solution?
Saw on a galaxy A5, nougat, that we can set the livewallpaper on lock and home screens ...
But still cannot on S7
Both phones on nova launcher and both on nougat ..
Thanks by advance
Try not to set it from the Nova or your device Settings. Open the wallpaper you want to use, open it via Gallery app, and set it as wallpaper. It should give you these options:
1. Home screen
2. Lock screen
3. Home and lock screens
If not, use a third party app.
nope that don't give these options.. That only do with pictures, but not with animated wallpaper. That's the issue
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, and I can easily set a Live wallpaper on Lockscreen by going into Settings - Wallpapers and themes.
Then click VIEW ALL, then click in the three dot from the upper right conner, and you'll see the option: Live wallpapers. From ther you can add also to your Lockscreen a Live wallpaper.
I just tested this, just to see if it works, and it does work.
I don't usually use Live wallpapers though, I use simple ones.
I don't know what to say. Apparently stuff just works on some phones and on some, doesn't work. Weirdest thing.
I am loocking for this, with all launchers i can , since months.
I dont have this setting avaiable.
I tough it was with nougat.. but i just saw it was possible with my work's samsung a5...
Very weird indeed
Try to sideload the S8 Launcher. Or google Pixel Launcher. I know you said you tried different launchers, but maybe you missed one. Sideload the apk's on your phone.
Or, if you are rooted, try a custom ROM, or another custom ROM, if you already have one installed.
Ive tried them too.
Ive also tried sames launchers on my nougat galaxyA5 , then the setting is avaiable.
Im on stock rom on S7 , non root.
I guess i have to try another country stock rom...
Wait it is really somehow possible to have live wallpapers on the lock screen!?
I just looked for the option and can't find it anywhere...

Android 7.1.2 on TV Box - Can't Set a Wallpaper

I got a new Android TV Box (MX10) which is running Android 7.1.2
I want to set a live wallpaper like I have on my devices and other TV boxes. If I go through settings and change wallpaper and select live wallpaper (I installed several) and select one of the live wallpapers, the screen comes up and I can even edit the settings of the live wallpaper but I have no button to "set as wallpaper". All I have is a back arrow at the top which does nothing anyway. If I click to go back, the wallpaper is not set. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get it to stick.
If I select to pick a wallpaper from the gallery, I choose a picture and then it comes up with a rubber band box to select what part of the picture it will make as the wallpaper. Again, I can't get out of this screen either. No "set as wallpaper" button or anything else. If I go back, the wallpaper is not set.
I've tried using other apps to set the wallpaper but all they do is send me to the same UI which I can't get to work.
Is this an issue with Android 7.1.2, the live wallpaper apps, the Android TV box or me?
It seems like such a simple thing. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 but the wallpaper settings are handled by the Samsung Theme app.
Thanks for any help!

Hey Tim,
I also recently got an android tv box wth 7.1.2 and am having similar issues. I can't change the launchers (I tried Nova, ADW, AirLauncher.. but only Microsoft launcher works) or the wallpaper. I've read somewhere that 7.1.2 is more locked down than previous versions. Is your box rooted? Perhaps you could try flashing a custom ROM?
Having Same Issues
Does anyone know if there is
1. An update to Andriod TV 7.1.2 Firmware
2. A way to workaround the launcher issue, I can't get my box to keep (save) the launcher i select for default (TSF Launcher)
3. Allow for live HD Wallpaper
