Apply a live wallpaper to lock screen ONLY. Not possible?? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

This is driving me mad, am I missing something or is this just not possible with Android at this time?
I can have two individual photos, but as soon as I want a lock screen that is based off live-wallpaper it is Homescreen or both. But ever Lockscreen only.

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

Single wallpaper for lockscreen and display

Anyone know if there is a way to have the lockscreen wallpaper just be transparent so the main wallpaper can be seen?
You could use the same wallpaper for both or disable the lock screen altogether.
Can't really disable lockscreen as I encrypted the device. Same wallpaper would work but I actually use Tasker to go out and grab a weather radar image every 30 minutes and set that as wallpaper. Problem is that the lockscreen wallpaper doesn't appear to just reference the location of the file picked (otherwise I'd just overwrite it). Anyone know where the file is stored? Easy enough to crop an image to the right size using tasker.

[Q] Same live wallpaper in the lockscreen?

Hi! I have a Z3 with Muzei as a live wallpaper which updates images every day. I really like to have the current wallpapers in the lockscreen as well but I haven't found any option like that. Is there any way to deactivate the lockscreen so only the wallpaper could be seen or maybe replicate the same wallpaper configuration to the lockscreen?
Thank you!
Nobody
You can try the Facebook Home app. There is an option to use the same wallpaper as the one used in the home-screen
same here
Hi, I was searching the whole Web for the same thing.
I think with Muzei we will not be able to sync our start screen with our lock screen with Muzei, since that is a Live Wallpaper and those are not supported on lock screen.
I want to get the current BIng picture of the day on my screens -- automaticaly. Well, I think I have to live without this....

Lock screen wallpaper?

I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to change the lock screen wallpaper on stock lollipop. Like have it different from your home screen wallpaper
You can't.
As an alternative, I can name two options:
Install a custom ROM that contains this feature (i.e. Cataclysm)
Use a third-party lockscreen (i.e. Widget Locker)

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?
(..misreading...)
