I was just trying to clear the first page of my home screen so I could enjoy the most of my wallpaper, but still have some stuff over on the second screen. However with the new Google experience launcher pages delete when there is nothing on them.
So I thought it would be great if someone made a simple transparent widget app that would allow users to have blank screens on their N5.

My wife has an lg g3 from tmobile with accuweather built in. When it rains her screen shows drips, it's very nifty. Any idea on a similar app from the play store, or a way I can get her version of accuweather on my s6?
Morning all,
Is there a way to get app icons on the lock screen such as short cuts for Facebook instagram etc.. Have had a look in the settings but can't find anything also using nova launcher but don't see anything in there either any help would be great. Thanks
There are lots of lockscreen apps on the Play Store that do this. Like this one for example...

Or I think one's like this might just add it your current lockscreen too.

Am I just blind or is there not an option to choose a live wallpaper for the background on the S8+?
I'm using Nova launcher and it's just a long press on the desktop, choose wallpaper icon and then the live wallpapers are last in the list over to the right. That said, some of the stock wallpapers seem to stop and start for no reason!
I can't find it either on the stock launcher. I can't get rid of the infinity live wallpaper on the always on display either.
It's in settings > wallpapers for sick, it's the first four wallpapers with a tiny play button in the upper right corner.
They call them infinity wallpapers, you do it through their theme app thing

Which clock did you pick? Depending on which clock you picked, you're gonna see the live wallpaper on the AOD. I know you won't see the wallpaper if you pick the calendar one. That's the one I'm using.
It's the default set one.

Those are different from live wallpapers. I have several live wallpapers installed and none show up. I think this is a bug. I read somewhere earlier that this is fixed in Android 7.1.2 which I don't have yet. I'm on Verizon and am running 7.0.
Yeah I can't figure it out either...
I use 3d Parallax Backgrounds, and these live wallpapers seem fine. Although I have to use the app to set them. As I also don't see the stock option for live wallpaper.
Samsung removed it with nougat. Here a link to a app to use live wallpapers https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/app-7-0-live-wallpaper-picker-home-lock-t3503347 Use the 1.21 final one

If you download a wallpaper called blow them all live wallpaper it comes with a separate app to apply this wallpaper but it also lists all other live wallpapers you have downloaded which don't show up on the phone itself so you can apply any live wallpaper you download through this app, there is a free and paid version of this app, the free one works fine for doing this, just open the app click set wallpaper and your list of all downloaded live wallpapers will pop up
anyone has the Whale Wallpaper of S8 ?
the one we see in Adds of S8
Solution!
As mentioned by someone else downloading "Blow them all Live Wallpaper" makes it possible to see all other live wallpapers you have downloaded. Go to the settings for the "Blow ...." and go to "set wallpaper". There they will be.
With all the live wallpapers I used you run the live wallpaper from it's app icon and it allows you to set it.
Easier solution
At the end of the route of "My Wallpapers" click the last thumbnail with the plus sign on it, then click the triple-dots and select Live Wallpapers. You should see you're installed live wallpapers.
Here's what I've been using to set them https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/app-7-0-live-wallpaper-picker-home-lock-t3503347
Edit: doesn't work for me now, used to use on my s7 nougat

Go to Settings -> Wallpapers & Themes -> My Wallpapers -> Three Dots in upper right corner of screen -> Live Wallpapers. It should be the only option in the pop-up menu that appears. It has been there since day one on my verizon s8+.
I'm using the Live Wallpaper Picker from here on my S8+ and Note 8.

This is the right answer, folks. Samsung has certainly not removed a built-in way to do this, but the location of the option is buried a little deeper than it should be.
If you download an app that can display and make shortcuts to "activities" (Tasker, QuickShortcutMaker, probably many more), you can create a shortcut to the built-in activity to avoid having to use Samsung's theming app to apply an installed live wallpaper.

Just downloaded google wallpapers and the live one are great - pixel 2 wallpapers work great
So I have an AT&T Galaxy S8+ and I just received the latest (August) update and I can no longer apply any photos/images in the Samsung Gallery app as wallpapers for the home or lock screen. I can set images as a contact photo and an AOD pic; but not just a regular wallpaper. It used to be in the dropdown after tapping the three little dots in the upper right hand corner. Anyone else experiencing this? I've tried checking to see if I have the latest version of the app (which I do) and I can apply wallpaper with literally any other app (Nova, Piktures, file browers, etc...) but the built in gallery; no dice. I really like their gallery but now it has become less useful since its lost one of the key reason I use it.
