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?
(..misreading...)
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

Does anybody know an app that lets you place a text on your screen? I want to have each screen contain certain apps and I want to place label on top that says what category that screen is. I've found Text Widget which looks nice but it only lets me place one widget.
Zoom, by the same guys that do Tasker, will allow you to do text on a widget. They can be of different sizes and way pretty much anything you want. And, as an added benefit, you can have it do certain things (anything Tasker is capable of) whenever you tap on it. I have one, for example, that shows my battery level, day, date, and time. Tapping on different parts of it does different things.
If it is an android then use the multipicture live wallpaper and create a wallpaper for each screen.

It seems that it is not possible to have different wallpapers for home and lock screens using standard capabilities of HTC Sense. However, this topic may give you some ideas how to get what you want.
Go to personalize - display - lockscreen style. Choose wallpaper and hit settings. Then you can choose between "use home wallpaper" and "use custom wallpaper". Choose the custom wallpaper you want to and this will be shown as the lockscreen wallpaper. Can be another one than the one for the home screen

It is entirely possible to have two different wallpapers, however I don't think it is possible to have a Live Wallpaper at the lockscreen and a static wallpaper at the desktop. It is possible to have a Live Wallpaper at desktop and a static one at the lockscreen though.
The person above me had already posted the solution so I shall elaborate no further. Cheers
Hi all,
Sorry for the silly question, but this is driving me mad. I tried everything I could think of, followed a few tips, but still have the same picture...
I want to have a picture of mine I downloaded to the phone, I selected it from settings but it doesn't work of course.
I am on MIUI 7 by Xiaomi.eu 5.12.4 beta
I tried it from the settings screen but only option seems to be to choose online, other options seem to be for main wallpaper and changing them has no effect... I use MultiPicture Live wallpaper as a wallpaper, and even tried an option there to change the lockscreen.
Any tips?
Thanks,
Julien

I think you use a custom launcher? If yes, you have to go to settings, apps, default and then chose stock miui launcher as default launcher. On the stock launcher homescreen you can then swipe with 2 fingers (1 from the left side of the screen and 1 from the right side of the screen, towards the middle of the screen). Then you can change the lockscreen wallpaper. After that you can change back to your other launcher. This is a known bug/feature
Thanks. Will try this now! You are right, i am using Google now as launcher
It worked a treat. Thanks again!
I hope they fix this sometime, because this is a pain in the ass
I'm using Nova launcher and recently got the new Google Pixel live wallpapers.
After installing, I found out I was only able to set the home screen with a LWP...There was no lock screen option.
Can someone point me to any possible solution on how to set a LWP on lock screen?
Thanks
Btw, I'm on nougat

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...
I have my lock screen set up for the Magazine unlock, with several subscriptions checked, and set up for auto-update over WiFi. But I've never seen any new photos added, they're always the same ones that came with the phone. Is there some other place that you have to set up a subscription to get access to new photos? In reviews of the phone last year, I read that these were supposed to auto-update, but mine never have.
same here, I didnt payed attention to it until saw this post, not sure what else need to be done to have these updated.
Same for me, too.
Even worse, it seems you can't even re-download the original wallpapers from the lock screen settings menu, if you have deleted them (which I did, thinking they could easily be restored).
I admit that I do not miss them severely as I now simply use one of my own wallpapers as a fixed lockscreen wallpaper. But I'm quite curious though, if there is some hidden subscription setting to get the original (and new) lockscreen wallpapers back.

silly question maybe but how do you do that? I've been trying to change the lockscreen wallpaper without no luck
@ilbambino:
1. Open the picture you want to set as the lockscreen wallpaper in the stock gallery app and tap on "More" --> "Set as" (any other app which allows to set an image as a wallpaper should work as well)
1a. Optional: You might get a selection dialog first which allows you to choose how to set the image as your wallpaper. Here you should tap on "Wallpaper(Gallery)" to get to the stock Huawei wallpaper assignment function.
2. Make sure that "Scrollable" is not activated (i.e. not written in blue, but in white) and move the image to show the part you want to have set as the lockscreen wallpaper.
3. Tap on the hook in the upper right corner. You should now get a dialog asking you wether to set the image as the wallpaper for your "Lock screen", "Home screen" or "Both".
4. Select "Lock screen", so that your homescreen wallpaper remains unchanged and your lockscreen wallpaper gets set to the new image.
4a. Optional: You might want to make sure that the wallpaper shuffle function of the magazine unlock style is disabled if you only want your lockscreen wallpaper to be displayed.

Vielen Dank!!!
Sometimes, if you apply the default Theme with Magazine Lock and wait awhile, you'll get a download.
I got several in the beginning. As soon as I switched to another theme, even with Magazine Lock, I never got anymore updates.
I haven't tried going back to a default Theme...I like mine too much now!
By the way, you do realise you can build your own series of magazine Lock pictures (upto 500!) by just adding them to your cover pictures?
It's excellent. Just build your own library of high res wallpapers from any source at all, and add them. It's even much better than the original.
There is also a security issue here! If you flick up the menu from this screen and select the gallery icon on the right and then press the home button it unlocks the phone!

I like the magazine and have added several pictures of my own. I have also deleted some of the pictures in magazine I did not liked.
As for the security "issue" from my lock screen I cannot get past any screen without the unlock code or fingerprint.
It's not working here either. I have a couple images (30) added manually, but the phone never cycles through them. I can however swipe left and right on the lock screen to see the pictures.
