I love that wallpaper, know where I can get it or can you share?
Also how did you get Andy on the board for the lock screen?

I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread on this already!
I posted this in another thread, but mine looks like this. Not terribly interesting apart from the Widget.
For anyone that is interested, I'm using ADW Launcher, the Widget is a Beautiful Widget with an opacity setting of 30% I think. I also hide the icon labels, as it makes it a lot cleaner! I set the Columns to 7 and the Rows to 6 to get as many icons on the screen as I could without it looking too crowded.
The widgets used are as follows:
Widget Type: Beautiful SuperClock 4x3 (Tablet) - I stretched it out so it fits the screen better
Super Clock Skin: honeyclock
Weather Skin: FlatWhite

What are you using for screen cap?

I'm using the Dalvik Debug Monitoring Service (ddms.bat) in the tools directory of the Android SDK install. You must also have the correct drivers installed, which if you've rooted your KF, you should already have.
Once it's detected and connected to your device, you can go to Device > Screen Capture.

what launcher are you using?

I downloaded an app called ScreenshotUX, something like that. There used to be a bunch of screenshot apps in the market, what happened? Are they getting the boot from Google or something?

Hmm.. I think I found something that works. This (+ SwipePad of course)

just went in to the file structure and replaced the image with my own. the wallpaper is from a poster who put up some alternate wallpapers to use instead of the defaults. i just pasted it 21 times in a folder and renamed them to the default names, so it never changes. in reality it's changing every time, it changes to the same pic each time. here's the pic. cant remember the link where i got it.

noticed you have the same weather widget bug, also happens to the pandora widget. something causes it to stretch like that, returns to normal after reset. you know what causes it and if there's a fix?

This is my homescreen as of now.
I really liked the wood bookshelf style of the kindle, so I decided to make wallpapers that would give that same look to other launchers (I'm using ADW).
I also attached a zipped folder with them, hope you guys enjoy.
Comments are always appreciated

Here you go.

mclock, fancy widgets, and stock wallpapers

Probably a stupid question but you guys that are using different launchers (which in this thread is everyone it seems lol) are you rooted or not? I'm going to side-install a few launchers and had no plans on rooting at this point BUT if it helps the alternate launchers work better I mine as well. Thanks for input and again, sorry if it's a dumb questions.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say most of us are rooted simply because a lot of ppl seem to have several apps only found on the Android market. Of course you can sideload them without the market, but I think that instead of going through all that trouble most ppl have just rooted and installed the market (especially since it's so easy to do and also allows you to take screenshots).

Any live weather wallpaper with user backgrounds?

I love my backgrounds, I have 40 or so that I'm always adding to and use Wall Switch to switch them out every 15 minutes. I'd like to have some indication of weather via LWP for fun, but I haven't seen any way to combine the two.
Anyone seen a weather LWP that lets you specify your own backgrounds, preferably automatically switching them out periodically? I've looked around can't find anything..

A widget sounds like it would work better in this case? I'm assuming you want something displaying the current weather along with a new wallpaper and such?

How you change your WP every 15 min?

I have weather widgets but was thinking it could be possible to overlay wallpaper with weather. Selective darkening, lightening, etc.
The app I use to change wallpaper is called Wall Switch. Hasn't updated in a while but still works pretty good. I should look for a replacement at some point.

Lockscreen Wallpaper

On a Razr Maxx HD rooted 4.1.1. Looking for a way to change wallpaper for lockscreen only. I want to use Gesture Lock as my lockscreen, but it doesn't have an option to change the wallpaper. Are there any other apps that will allow it, or is changing the lockscreen wallpaper something I could figure out how to make and flash myself?

I don't know if you have any interest in changing launchers, but MiHome Launcher lets you set separate home and lockscreen wallpapers. It's a very non-AOSP launcher though, so you have to want something different or else you might not be into it.

Thanks for the recommendation, I tried it. Unfortunately, it didn't allow for using a wallpaper on the lockscreen without using their locker, which means I can't use gesture lock. The launcher wasn't all that bad, though, I would have dealt with it.
Anyone know if there is a way to change the lockscreen by modifying the ROM with easy enough steps that I could follow as a noob? I don't mind tinkering, I just really want my lockscreen wallpaper!

Update: I was able to find a solution to the problem. I found an app called "Simple Image Wallpaper Pro". It allows for a different lock screen wallpaper. Problem solved!

Live wallpaper on home and lock screen

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

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...

Download any live wallpaper from Google. You don't need an app you just need the live image. Then apply using stock wallpaper picker
