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.

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.

Wallpapyrus - Play with wallpapers.
Wallpapyrus is for you if you like iPhone style wallpaper (no scrolling)
or
a new wallpaper on each home screen
or
wallpaper change at intervals or on phone unlock
or
a running animated slideshow
or
iPhone DeepEnd app like 3d effect
or
see Boot animations as live wallpaper
read on for more........
Android Market link - https://market.android.com/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.wallpaper
Wallpapyrus has following features:
1) Four wallpaper modes:
a) Normal mode with four styles:
1. iPhone - Wallpaper does not scroll just like iPhone and of course like many other phones.
2. iPhone with wallpaper switching - Wallpaper does not scroll with home screen but can switch after set duration, phone unlock or on double tap on home screen.
3. Android - Wallpaper scrolls with home screen like normal android wallpaper.
4. Android with wallpaper switching - Wallpaper scrolls and can switch after set duration, phone unlock or on double tap on home screen.
It's not that normal mode after all. What do you think?
b) Chain - Different wallpaper on each home screen. Either set individual wallpapers for each home screen or set folders as wallpaper source. Ultimate option for theming.
c) Collage - Collage of wallpapers. Brings the feeling of randomness and chaos on your wallpaper.
d) Animated wallpaper - the coolest of the lot - an animated slideshow of wallpapers. See it to believe it. Don't overuse it. Other modes are also entitled for the same respect.
e) 3D Effect like Deepend app of iPhone - turn phone to see effect
f) Use boot animations as live wallpaper. Just unzip boot animations in a folder and put that folder in sd-card. Choose that folder in app. If multiple folders are selected boot animations are shown at random.
2) Wallpaper layout modes (available in normal mode only):
i. fill screen
ii. fit screen
iii. fit height
iv. fit width
Now don't get limited in your choice.
3) Set folders in sd card for wallpapers. Multiple folders can be selected and sub-folders support is also available. Wallpapers are selected randomly. For Normal mode (iPhone and Android without switching) wallpapers can be set from gallery or file manager apps - just like with normal wallpapers. Use “set as wallpapyrus” instead of “set as wallpaper”.
4) Wallpapers switch either at set duration or on phone unlock. Double tap to change wallpapers is also available.
Its the best wallpaper changer / switcher in the market.
5) Get cool pics from Flickr and your friends’ Facebook pics right on wallpaper.
6) Show/hide date, icons for facebook and flickr pics on wallpaper for easy identification on wallpaper.
7) Filters for color, brightness, saturation and contrast. Wallpapers look the way you want them.
8) Wallpapyrus does not run in the background but only when the user is on launcher. It goes to sleep when the user opens an app or locks the phone. For example if you don’t use your phone for a day wallpapyrus would not run in background and kill your battery. So the effect on cpu and battery is very limited.
9) Memory usage depends on screen size – less memory usage for small screen phones like Samsung galaxy ace, htc wildfire etc. So no worries for low ram phones.
10) All these features are made easy to use and organise by "Settings Wizard" and help button on each page of the app. It could not be easier.
Of course, more is coming....
Finally its upto you to decide whether wallpapyrus is worthy of what it claims to be. Your feedback by way of emails is imperative for improvement of existing features and addition of new features. Use "Email developer" provided in the menu for easier communication. If your language is other than english just send mail in your language - developer will use google translate. So don't hesitate.
If you like the app, share app with your friends by using "Share app" option provided in the menu.
A tutorial with filters : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261966&page=7
Things I am working on:
1) I have one little problem. Wallpapyrus has default wallpaper after reboot with text "Wallpapyrus". I have to set wallpaper again and again when I am rebooting. Can you look at it please? - Bugscze - solved
2) First, thanks for the app. Really impressive. I'm not sure if it would work with a Live Wallpaper implementation or not but I would love to see schedules for wallpaper switching. For example...set the app to use one folder for Monday during the day, and then switch to another folder for Monday evening. Another example would be to use one folder or image for weekday's and another folder or image for weekends. Pwall, a non Live Wallpaper app, has this functionality, but the image quality on AMOLED screen's isn't the best. - solarus2011 - I want to give you option to save each and every setting in a profile; not just folder - so its taking late.
3) This gray scale filter is really cool! Plz make more like sepia, rainbow, android green, orange sunrise, etc. I think that's makes this app very unique. - solved ;-) And don't forget an image quality option in, mhh, 3 steps? - Andrzej - - yet to be solved
4) Currently I can only select top level directories to display images from it. My images are all in subdirectories on my external SD card and there are also some directories among them I don't want to be displayed by Wallpapyrus - Karsten. - solved

Nice application, congratulations. Maybe you should think of another name as this one might be misleading as there is a DroidWall app in the market, which is well known.

some polishing in user interface

thanks for the big update
A lot of enhancement since my last trial. But my personal opinion:
1. when double click and changing the wallpaper, there's an extra orange screen which is annoying. Its better to show the current wallpaper until the next is loaded and displayed
2. Could I hide the top left icon please?
3. bug? double click to change wallpaper. Notice the center position of the wallpaper. Then swipe to another page and the wallpaper will shift to right side a bit (Go launcher here)
Thanks.

1. the orange screen is to notify the user that double click is registered. Now i will change it to current wallpaper and show wallpaper change notification on the current wallpaper itself. Is that ok?
2. I will give option to hide icon in next update.
3. Is wallpaper scroll on in settings? kindly check.
You can ask for any customisations you want. I am always eager to hear from you.
Great work
i really like it!

Thanks for the prompt reply.
1. Since user will see the wallpaper changed after double click, its unnecessary to state the notification at all in my opinion (and its stated in setting screen already)
3. Maybe I stated not clear enough or happen on me only. First load a new wallpaper and note the center position. Swipe to another page and then swipe back to the original one. The noted location of the 'center' is shifted to right edge. This only happen on the newly loaded wallpaper for the first time.
All wallpapers are 960x480 in size for scrolling and launcher is Go Launcher Ex if these matter.
Thanks the good work so far
I am looking into the problems.

1. When i tested the app on a folder with 500 images, it took 1-2 secs to change wallpaper. So i provided the notification so that the user does not lose patience and double clicks unnecessarily.
2. you are dead right on the problem. thank you for pointing out. the problem occurs when you double click on a page other than the centre page. may be you have an even no of pages in your launcher. i am going to correct it soon.
1. oh, I don't have that much wallpaper (~30).
2. I have 5 pages with 2 is set to default
App updated with requested changes:
2.0.1
- new Wallpaper layout mode - fill screen
- option to hide image-source-icon
- No orange screen while switching
- Now wallpaper loads with correct offset.
Lovejoys hubs kindlefire.
what is hubs.
hubs is a setup that allows you to navigate from screen to screen with the touch of your finger (without scrolling)
it works by having icons on every screen for every screen. ie press icon 1 on any screen and it takes you to screen 1.
with this you dedicate each screen (hub) into a subject. ie games, media, home etc because of this things ar very organised and easy to navigate to.
only 2-3 touches to get to any app (and no more searching).
Hi here is my setup on my kindle fire and a detailed guide how to get this look, this is my 1st guide so please go easy.
With this guide you will have 5 home screens and a 5x5 row/colum setup (because it keeps everything the same from landscape to portrait mode).

what you will need
Adwpro launcher (worth every penny)
adw minimalistic theme
multipicture live wallpapers app (free)
simple text app (free)
minimalistic text app (free)
my wallpapers here. http://db.tt/diulORYj
8/12 wallpaper or so, I picked relevant wallpapers per home screen ie, media themed pictures for media
home screen and games pictures for games home page etc.
start by installing adw pro launcher and setting as default launcher and applying minimalistic theme (I will let you work that one out)
install multipicture live wallpapers, minimalistic text and simple text app's.
Now create 6 folders on your desktop rename them
games wpaper
media wpaper
home wpaper
tool's wpaper
work wpaper
lockscreen wpaper
now place pictures you have chosen in each folder ie. Games home screen pic's in games wpaper folder.
When all pictures are in the right folders, mount sdcard to pc and drag and drop each folder into /sdcard/pictures on your kindle. (when you now reboot and open up your album you should see 6 new folders with your screen pic's in them.
In adw make these settings.

That's adw set up now for wallpapers.
Hold down on home screen and get menu, select wallpapers/live wallpaper/multipicture live wallpapers
press settings
press green + add individual settings, until you have 5 screen settings
press screen1 settings
picture source=album/wgames press ok
crop/resize ratio=fit to full screen
back out and do all 5 screen with you 5 folders you made earlier then do lock screen settings the same.
Back out and press set wallpaper
done
now setting up screen short cuts (the tedious but nice bit)
on each home page long press and select launcher action then screen 1 (whilst on homepage 1)
do this 4 times then move to home page 2 and do same process but selecting screen 2.
do this trough all 5 home screens so you should have 5 icons that will send you back to the screen you are on (keep it like this for now as it keeps things in order).
Now to change all those icons into what they are ie.
On home screen 1 change all 4 icons to a simple text image.
Long press an icon on screen 1, press edit, tap on the icon image,tap adwtheme iconpacks, tap simple text, then on icon style simple. You should be in settings of simple text app.
At the top tap the word simple and change it to games. untick gradient & shadow, text size=48.
Press the big a at the top and select default 07, tick anti alias and linear text.
Then press menu and select save style, then press menu again and select save icon change text to games and press ok.
Do this to all 4 icons on home screen 1 (now you have a template though so when you get to icon style select your previous made template instead of simple icon again).
Then do this to all other home screens but edit the name to media for the icons on screen 2, home for the icons on screen 3 tool's for the icons on screen 4 and work for screen 5.
then make 1 new launcher action per page and make this one open/close app draw alter the icon like above but on each home screen name it by its home screen ie on screen1 (games) name it games with the text in blue (this is so on each home page it all looks the same except the blue name will act as an app draw launcher).
Now move one of each icon to each screen so it looks like mine.
You can now go and play with it and alter things to your liking
I hope I have covered everything.
Cheers steve
edit: you will need to tick force 5 homescreens in "workarounds for some applications" in wallpaper settings (this will align all wallpapers to the home screens.
please tick the thank you box if you like this.
Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Absolutely amazing Steve bravo! You helped me out so much and I'm glad you decided to make the thread after we talked. Thanks!

no probs its a nice way to use the kindle.
you can tweak it anyway you want, I just thought if I made the tutorial to mimic mine then it was easier for me to explain etc.
glad you like it, it works great on any rom and i allways do full backup in twrp 2.1.1 then wipe everything flash new rom/gapps etc boot once then return to twrp and restore previous roms data (only) and all my settings and wallpaper etc is still there
only need to do all this once (thank god) lol.

Yup i know, used your wallpapers instead of the ones i had chosen and they work great in landscape but when i go to portrait they are not lined up. you experiencing this as well? im gonna look for more images to use since now i know what resolution to look for

when you say not lined up , i take it you mean the images in the pictures move from land to port mode?
i just keep my shortcuts at the bottom and most of my icons at the top are folders, so with 1x row at the top and 1x row at the bottom there's alot of space left in the middle for Widgets, (or leave it blank like i do so that you can see all of the wallpapers.
some pic's work better than others, one of my media images is perfect as it has black top and bottom and works good both in land & port.
it took me as long finding images to use on the different screens as it did to setup hubs. lol.
the thing is after 4 months of having hubs on my kindle i've only just got it how i want it.
also i think you need wallpaper scrolling set in rom settings for the multipicture to work.
also it all works best with all screen settings both rom & adw set so the screen transaction is at it fastest. then when you press one of you home screen shortcuts it zooms out & back in again as fast as poss.

Well I guess what I'm trying to say is that when I go portrait the left most screen is white, then when I got to screen 2 it has my left most wallpaper there. Here's some pics. The last screen shot should hopefully explain what I mean. The abstract wallpaper is supposed to be screen 2 and its in-between screen 2 and 3.

I have ADW but I'm using Apex at the moment.
I have 5 screens set up but when I'm scrolling in portrait it doesn't show the wallpapers that have a landscape design (like the geek wallpaper). When I'm in landscape it does.
Any idea how to keep that from happening in portrait?
it should work.
although never tried with apex as it doesn't have home screen shortcuts.
have you got the following.
forced 5 screen, multipicture settings.
scrolling wallpaper in rom and adw.
edit: don't forget when you select picture folder path for wallpapers yo need to select, fit to screen.

I need to check and see if it has something to do with the rows/columns. I think I have 8 and 8 set up so maybe changing to 5 and 5 will fix it.
Think I have the settings you list above set up although I'm just using one wallpaper for each screen, not a folder.
glad your nearly there
do yo realize that the nice bit of all this is the adw screen shortcuts, as it allows you to change screens by pressing an icon. ie on my setup i press games icon on any screen and it goes straight to the 1st home screen (where all my games are) or media icon on any screen takes me straight to my media home page (no 2) and so on.
it means any apps are only two taps away (unless you have folders in which case its three taps). in other words you can but don't have to scroll through your screens, just tap an icon.

Yeah, I played around w/ hubs before flashing an ICS ROM using ADW Pro. Just playing with Apex right now to see if I want to go with hubs again.
Thanks for the advice.
Any other cool wallpapers you care to share?

How to place pictures in folders, I can plase shortcuts only?
make the folders on pc then drag and drop images into these folders. but make sure you download the full image in the first place and not just the thumbnail. these folders need to be put in pictures on sdcard (do not put all folders in one main folder or it doesn't find the path properly
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
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.
